The next morning Fred woke up Noelle extra early, before the sun had risen. He grabbed their brooms and her hand and rushed her outside. She was wobbling the whole way, as she was just woken out of her sleep at 5 am.

He handed her the broom and got on his, flying to the top of his home, her close behind.

He landed on top of the burrow, holding out his hand for the girl who had just landed beside him.

"Fred what're we doing up here I'm tired." The girl yawned as he pushed her down to sit with him on the roof.

"I wanted to watch the sunrise with you." He said as the girl put her head in his lap and laid down as he played with her hair. She almost instantly fell back asleep but he wasn't mad, he was just glad he was there with her.

He sat there a little longer after the sun had risen, just watching the girls movements. Her chest rising and falling with her breath, her body stirring as she adjusted to get comfortable, and her hair frizzing in the wind.

Awhile later he awoke the girl and they flew down,  putting their brooms in the shed and walking in the house. She instantly made her way to the couch and fell asleep.

"Morninggg"George commented from the kitchen where he had been drinking his coffee.

Making Fred jump he turned around and slapped the ginger on the arm. "Bloody hell mate! Gave me quite a scare!"

"Where've you two been? Off snogging I presume?"

"No. We watched the sunrise. Well I watched the sun rise while she fell asleep on my lap."

"Oh so Freddie's making moves?" George winks setting down his cup and putting his hands on his brothers shoulders.

"Just tell her! It's clear she likes you back, ask her out and see what happens, what's the worst that could happen? Hm? You get rejected? Oh poor little Freddie's heart, YOU'LL GET OVER IT!" And with that he waltzed upstairs leaving a shocked Fred alone in the kitchen. He looked behind him to see the girl in a tight ball, trying to conserve her heat.

Placing a blanket over the girl she grabbed at his arm, "lay with me" she muttered, her eyes still closed and her voice shallow. He didn't have to be asked twice as he got behind the girl, humming to her as she fell asleep.

When 9am came around the family had walked downstairs as quiet as they could as to not disturb the sleeping pair on the couch. George attempted to mess with the girl when from behind her Fred grabbed at his wrist, "bugger off and let her sleep would you." He sighed, wrapping his arm back around her as she adjusted to the new position.

"I reckon he's in love." Ginny comments, pouring herself some orange juice and sitting at the table.

"You think?" George adds sarcastically, staring at the two from where he was standing at the counter in the kitchen.

Before long the girl had awoken and stirred around before setting foot upstairs to change. She made her way into the closet and grabbed a pair of black leggings and a long oversized black t-shirt that read "The Rolling Stones".

"Hey love." Fred commented from his spot on the bed as she walked out of the closet, slightly jumping at the sound of his voice.

"Oh hi! Sorry I fell asleep I was really looking forward to watching the sunrise with you.."

"No worries, another time. I just enjoyed having you there, weather you actually seen it or not." He laughed, sticking his nose back in his book.

With a slight chuckle she put her head down, blushing ferociously and looking at the clothes in her hands.

"Oh um..I have to change..do you mind?"

Without having to fight with him he stood up and walked out of the room, sending her a sweet smile before closing the door. She changed into her new clothes and threw her dirty ones in the hamper in the corner of the room. She opened the door to see Freddie waiting patiently outside.

She smiled at him and pulled him in the room, closing the door. "I'd like to ask you something .." she said sitting on the bed, the boy sitting beside her.

"Okay.."

"It's going to come to you as..as quite a shock maybe and I hope whatever happens..whatever your answer might be..that it won't change anything..unless of course in a good way-" she lets out a slight laugh before continuing "anyways...I'd like to know if you'd...if.. if you'd accompany me to a lunch..date.." slowing down her sentence, almost not being able to say the words she looked down at her shoes as he looked at her with wide eyes.

"Hm..I don't know peach...Doesn't really sound like something I'd enjoy.." she looked up at the boy with sad eyes as she nodded her head before he slipped into a fit of laughter. "Of course I will El! I was just kidding with you, I've been wanting to ask you for a while actually.."

"You have?"

"Planned on doing it tonight, George said he reckoned you would say yes."

She smiled as he talked, unable to keep her eyes off his. "I would have."

And with that they laid down as Fred read to her, wrapping his arm around her, her head resting on his chest, feeling it rise and fall with his breath..this had been the happiest she'd felt in a long time, and without notice George had peered in on them.

"Got yourself a good one brother." He whispered, walking out of the room and down the creaky steps.

"We're you just like..stalking them?" Ginny asks, scaring the boy into almost falling down the stairs.

"Gee Gin couldn't have given me a heads up you were there? And no I was not stalking...I was observing." And with that he made his way dow the rest of the stairs and into the living room, sitting beside his younger brother as he watched them play an intense game of wizards chess
