the boy I never knew | Fred Weasley ff

18

A few seconds after we arrived at the burrow, the door flew open and revealed my mother. Her face expression looked shocked and she seemed worried to see us. Understandable, why would we come back during school time?

„Fred, George what happened?" she asked, holding the door to let us in. I immediately rushed to the sofa, softly placing Haven on it.

„There were people-, death eaters at Hogwarts. We don't know what they wanted but we saved ourselves by escaping in the room of requirements. A mass of students were with us too and after a time we managed to escape the castle, what brings us home." George explained to our mother Molly, while I was searching for some pillows. Even in his voice was fear to hear, once the word ‚home' escaped his lips you could hear relive in this voice.

„I'm glad you're safe" she said, grabbing both of us and pulling us in a tight hug, „and what happened to the poor girl?" her voice sounding worried. My mom have always been a caring person.

"I saved her, but not early enough" I mumbled, struggling with the words that escaped my mouth, "she got hurt by one of the death eaters"

"That's his girlfriend" George whispered, "that's why he's so worried"

Even though George remarked that and I would usually smack his head for his comment, I hugged him tight, happy that we were both here and safe. Not separated.

"Oh dear, let me look at you" my mom said, gladly ignoring what George remarked. She kneeled down in front of her, inspecting the wound on Havens head. My mom was the best one you could ever imagine. She always knew what to do.
She asked me to help her for a second, demanding me to hold up Havens head, so she could clean her wound and after that she dressed the scar with a bandage.

I didn't stood up as George left the room going back to sleep.
"She will be alright Fred" my mom said trying to cheer me up, "you should sleep too, it's 4am."

"It's fine mom. You can go to bed don't worry about me" I replied, kneeling down next the our sofa. I would stay here for tonight. If something would happen this night- I wouldn't notice if I go to bed. But if I would take her upstairs with me, she might feel uncomfortable once she wakes up. So I decided to stay downstairs with her, watching her pale face before I fell asleep.

As opened my eyes the first thing I felt was a sharp pain on the left side of my head. Once my fingertips touched the bandage on my head I gasped in pain.
"Don't touch it" Fred's voice caught my attention, my words probably woke him up, "Molly put it on your head"

Molly- his mom Molly Weasley? The room around me was unknown for me. Where did Fred bring me? And what in the hell happened? Fred probably noticed me struggling with my thoughts. He grabbed my feed that were still laying on the couch and placed them on the ground, so there would be some space for him to sit. As he sat down, Fred gave me a cup warm of tea, while he put his other arm around my shoulder. I leaned down on his chest, enjoying this proximity. My body felt so weak and exhausted. I wouldn't admit it if he asked me about it, just that Fred wouldn't worry about me.
Even though I didn't know were I was I felt safe in his arms. It was unbelievable that he could make me feel comfortable with only a few movements.

"I'm glad you're okey" Fred said in a low voice before he leaned down to kiss my hairline.
I looked up to face him, letting my lips form the best smile I had. Trying to hide the pain in my whole body. My hand reached for his neck, pulling him down again, our lips meeting each other. I hoped for the butterflies to escape in my stomach, but they wouldn't come back. Nothing happened, pain was still the only thing I felt. I stopped kissing him instantly, turning away from him. I felt my heart clenching, my lip starting to tremble.

I let my head bump against his chest, trying to hide me face.

„Haven" Fred mumbled, „are you sure you're alright" I heard a mass of worry in his voice.

I didn't want to talk, I just stayed quite. Letting quite tears run down my face. Fred didn't force me to tell him, he just tried to comfort me by stroking my hair, staying quite too.
