Blue Belle {Fred Weasley}

Chapter 98

Later that evening, Harley and Belle found themselves upstairs away from the men who were deep in conversation about what Fred and George were planning to do after Hogwarts. Belle sat leaning against her headboard whilst Harley sat cross-legged opposite her the pair talking about the most random of topics until Harley actually noticed the slight bruising of Belle's lips.

Smirking she asked, "so, did you and Fred enjoy yourselves today?" Her voice was teasingly light and Belle could feel her cheeks and tips of her ears rushing with blood as she picked at the blanket Molly had knitted for her during the summer.

"It was a'rite," she responded not making eye contact with her older cousin.

Harley wasn't going to settle for such a vague answer and decided to delve deeper, after all, who would she be if she didn't tease her family? It was in her nature! "What did you do?"

"We went up to the swing. Talked."

"Just that? All day? Because I would say you did less talking unless your lips can bruise from talking too much."

Belle flopped forward burying her face into her blanket so that Harley couldn't see her expression of pure embarrassment mixed with happiness at the memories of earlier that day which flooded back into her mind. Fred's handsome face and fruity voice as they enjoyed themselves, his lips on hers and her neck and the top of her chest. Everywhere.

"Oh no! You didn't? In the field! Belle you shady lady!" Harley exclaimed her hand covering her mouth in shock. Never in her life would she have expected Belle to do something so... so risky! Fred? Well yes. This is Fred Weasley we are talking about. But Belle? NO! And in public, Hogwarts would have been risky enough but in the middle of a field, anyone could have come across them. A kid. An elderly man walking his dog named Kipper would have probably keeled over and died! Belle made a series of incoherent noises all of which was muffled by the blanket. Harley couldn't help but laugh, it just didn't seem real. "Oh darling, seriously?"

"It just sorta happened."

Harley opened up her arms and Belle crawled into them, "did you want it?"

"What sort of question is that? Of course I did! I mean, I didn't leave the house having planned to do it but I certainly wouldn't have done it if I didn't want it." Belle cried, "Besides, Fred wouldn't have done that."

"I know."

"Then why ask that?"

Harley sighed, "I just had to check, Belle. With everything and the fact it was in the middle of a bloody field I had to make sure."

"Okie dokie. You won't tell dad or Grandpa, will you?" Belle bit her lip, resting her head on Harley's shoulder. The latter rubbed her back, catching the tips of her hair as she did so.

"Of course I won't. You want a boyfriend who is alive, don't you? Grandpa would kill him and Remus would resurrect him to kill him again!"

Belle's stomach dropped. Just the mention of resurrection made her mind snap to the boy that haunted her and his peculiar ability. "O-Of course not," she stuttered shaking Enoch out of her head, "you don't think I'm slutty, do you?"

"Oh, Jesus Belle! Why would I think that? So what if you have had sex at your age? It's not like you've just done it with Lee Jordan and George as well-"

"EW!"

"- as I was saying, Belle, how much do you love Fred?"

"Truthfully?" Harley nodded her head, "as much as it sounds cringy and soppy. I love him with y everything. I don't think I'd be alive without him. I don't think I would have been able to cope with everything and would probably have taken the easy way out if you know what I mean. He, he just means so much to me and I love him. I really do."

"Then what you both did was perfectly rational, should it have been in a better place, most probably but-"

"That would have spoiled all of the fun, now if you don't mind, I'd like to kick you out so that I can go to bed because I am very tired and I'm sure Bella is too." Fred cut in, the two Lupin's turning to see him leaned against the door frame with both his legs and arms crossed, his eyebrows raised and his lips curled into his infamous smirk.

Harley held her arms up in surrender walking towards the door. "Okay, okay! I've just been told, eh? No round two unless you want the Lupin wrath from Lyall and Remus, you hear me shithead?"

"What does my brother see in you? You're nothing but mean to me!" Fred crinkled his nose, which was adorable in Belle's eyes as she began to peel her socks off of her feet.

"Oi! You dick, probably the same thing you did when you and George kept staring at my arse!"

Belle groaned covering her ears, "don't remind me!"

Fred chuckled sending a wink towards Harley as he shut the door in her face winking at her cheekily before turning to Belle. "You told her?"

"Not really? She kinda pieced things together!"

Fred sniggered tugging his shirt over his head and his trousers down. He slipped into some pyjama bottoms as Belle put her nightwear on as well. The two teenagers snuggled down in bed and had just flicked the light off when the door to the bedroom opened and light from the hallway poured in.

"Darling, I'm off back to headquarters now, someone has to make sure Maddie doesn't kill P-Sirius," said Remus who poked his head around the door.

"Okay, daddy."

"Piss off Gingernut."

Fred gasped loudly, "how dare a teacher swear at a student! That's absolutely outrageous!"

"Fred?"

"Mhmm?"

"Leave my dad alone."

"But-"

"Listen to my daughter thumblethwat!"

"IT'S A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE!"
