The Marriage Law - A Harry Potter Fanfic

Fred's POV

I slowly opened Percy's door to see Hermione fast asleep, still. It was almost dinner time and I closed the door "why is she still sleeping?"

Pansy pushed past me "Go help your mother with dinner, I'll get her up."

I sighed softly and Pansy smirked "I know you want to snuggle with her but, I'm gonna get her up now so you can't snuggle with her. She needs to eat as well if she wants that baby."

"She does."

"I know, now go help your mother you idiot."

I smiled and ran downstairs quickly "Hey Mum, need some help?"

"Just tell everyone dinner is ready dear."

I grinned and grabbed a pot and a pan "Ok."

"Fred! What are yo-

I went into the living room and started bashing the pot and pan together while laughing. Everyone looked at me and I continued until Ginny stood and snatched them from my hands "What Fred?"

"Dinner is ready you guys."

Ginny rolled her eyes and handed me back the pot and pan before heading towards the kitchen. I snickered and followed behind her, I waited until she sat before smacking them together behind her head. She screamed and then turned around and grabbed the pan from my hand

"YOU ARSE!!"

I ducked as she whipped the pan at my head and I grabbed her hand, wrestling the pan from her hand "Love you too Ginny, Merlin, what has your knickers in a twist?"

I took the pan and put the cooking dishes away before sitting down. I served a plate for Mione and set it beside me before serving a plate for myself. A pair of lips brushed my ear and Hermione whispered softly in my ear

"Fred Weasley, I promise to love you without condition, to honour you each and every day. To laugh with you when you're happy, to cry with and comfort you when you're sad, to help you when you ask for help, to challenge you everyday to be a better person and allow you to do the same for me. I will be your biggest fan, not George's.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I don't want a fairytale ending with you. I want to be there to help you face your fears and help you overcome your failures. I want to give you the kind of love you deserve, not the kind that's distorted and fabricated, but the real, raw and honest kind.

Today I love you completely, as I did yesterday and will tomorrow. I will be there for you always. I will share in your dreams, delight in your joys, and comfort you in your sorrows. I will be your confidant, your counsel and your friend. When you are not within my sight, you will be within my thoughts, whether I know it or not. You are my life, my joy, and you will become my husband

I, Hermione Granger take you Fred Weasley to be my husband, my best friend, my one true love, to have and to hold from this day forward. For better or for worse, for the richer or poorer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish, till death do we part."

I closed my eyes and leaned my head back "How?"

"It was a dare."

I scowled slightly...who would do that...who would make that a dare? Did they know how much it hurt me... "Who told you? George?"

"No, our first kiss, it was a dare."

I tensed, my breathing becoming uneven as she continued "Padma was telling Lavender Brown what a prude I was, then she dared me to kiss the next person who walked through the door. So I did, and it was you, I kissed you that day, then you laughed later at the expression on Ron's face, and you did it again."

I turned and she kissed me gently "I'm so clever."

"What? What just happened?"

"The pensive, god I'm a genius!!"

I stood and grabbed for her waist "What?"

She danced out of my reach and quickly made her way upstairs "Come on Fred!!"

My family looked at me and I shrugged "Pansy what's going on?"

She shrugged as Hermione called from upstairs "I'm going to lift the at least 50 pound chest if you don't get your arse up here!!"

I quickly ran and followed her into Percy's room "What?"

She opened the lid and I saw dozens upon dozens of empty vials laying in the bottom of the chest "I'm sorry I don't get it, what's going on?"

"I remember."

"What?"

She gently reached out and pulled me into her arms "I remember, everything. I was a smart ass and put all of my memories into vials. These vials."

Of course she would have a back up plan!! I should've looked for that...I was never going to hear the end of this. I looked at her and whispered softly "I don't believe it."

"You kidnapped me."

"I did, but not really, I took you for a vacation."

"You did not."

"I gave you a library."

"No, you put it in the guest house, do you actually want to spend that much time away from me?"

I grinned "You didn't look through the big house."

Her eyes lit up "Is there a bigger one?"

"Bigger than the Hogwarts one."

"No, there's no way you got that many."

"Both George and I indulged after Hogwarts, we donated almost all of the extra money from the shop we had, to war survivors, orphanages, small businesses that had been ruined by the war, we helped rebuild Hogwarts and then finally when that was all done we put money aside to build houses, I designed ours with you in mind, needless to say we have a lot of shelf space."

She looked thrilled and then a little jealous "Has Angelina stayed there?"

"She doesn't even know it exists."

She kissed me deeply and I smiled into her lips "We're getting married."

"After the baby comes."

I pulled away "What? Why?"

"Because I don't want to look fat in my wedding dress."

"I'd love it if you were to look fat, that means there's a baby in there, unless you've been lying this whole time and you've just been eating more chocolate."

She hit my arm "Fred!"

"Ouch!!! I'm serious."

"Mhmm, I'm unimpressed."

"I still can't believe it, this is...unreal, so unreal babe."

"Say it."

"Say what?"

"I'm a genius."

I snickered softly with a smirk as I played with her fingers "I'm a genius."

She laughed and I sat down on the bed, dragging her into my lap "I love you."

I kissed her and she smirked looking happy "I love you too."
