Home (Fred)

Part 3

"Always with your nose in a book" he said softly and kissed my cheek. I jumped, slapped my book shut and turned to look at him. He had let his hair grow out and it was touching his shoulders now, I realised George also has let his grow out but it never occurred to me that Fred might've as well. He looks good though.

"Hi" I smiled

"Hi beautiful. Sorry it took me so long. I tried to be here, I really did. Blame Bill"

"I will. George told me you got dragged into helping Bill. I've been pestering George all day" I nodded, he laughed and wrapped his arms around me "I missed you"

"I missed you too Vi" he picked me up so my legs were round his waist and held me tight "forgot how beautiful you actually are"

"Shut up" I smiled "I like your hair by the way. You look hot"

"Do you really? I can cut it if you don't" I didn't realise before we started dating that Fred is actually quite self conscious. He's always worried that I don't fancy him for various reasons, more common than not it's that he thinks I don't like how he dresses. I know it's because he's embarrassed of the fact he can't afford new clothes all the time, especially for when we are having a date night, but I love how he dresses. He knows that as well, but I understand why he would sometimes get self conscious.

"Don't you dare. If you even get a pair of scissors too close to your hair, I... will..." I tried to think of a threat but miserably failed "probably do nothing, but I'll think of something. Don't cut your hair"

He carried me over to his bed and pulled the curtain shut. We got under his covers and he pulled me into his chest for a cuddle. He gave a gentle but firm kiss to my forehead and sighed happily.

"Did Bill manage to get whatever it was done?"

"Yeah. I'm gutted I had to be there with him though"

"It's fine honestly. It was nice bonding with Ginny a little. I bet she wishes she had an older sister"

"Well you're technically an older sister to her when you think about it"

"Yeah, George said a similar thing before about him technically being a brother to me"

"Great minds think a like" he smiled and brushed my hair away from my face "are you hungry or anything?"

"No. Your mum made lunch not long ago"

"Good. What time did you get here?"

"Maybe about 11:00am, bit later maybe" he nodded and looked at the time, sighing when he saw how long I've been here and he's only just seeing me now "I have a couple of gifts for you"

"What?" He asked with wide eyes "you didn't have to"

"I know. I wanted to. Can you let go of me for two minutes so I can actually get it for you?"

"Fine" he smirked and kissed me softly.

I saw his face light up when I handed him the flapjacks my mum made. He immediately took one out and did a happy dance as he ate it. I also handed him the wrapped up charms book and saw him give me a questioning look. He unwrapped it and I saw his face drop and eyes fill up with tears.

"Violet... I can't believe you actually got it for me. It's so expensive"

"You're worth it"

"Thank you" he whispered and pulled me in tight to his chest "thank you so much" he gave me a gentle kiss

"You're welcome. Freddie, I love you"

"I love you too" he smiled and kissed me again.

I watched as he scanned the first few pages, his eyes were completely lit up and he was so unaware of anything happening around him. He didn't even flinch when I moved to sit behind him and wrap my arms around him.
