It was a quiet and warm night in a rather cold month known as November. Their house scarf was wrapped neither tight nor too loose on their neck as they were looking up to the sky. Even though it had only been two months since their return to their favorite place - Hogwarts -, it has been rather stressful. It was Y/N's last year and they were ready to leave the whole school stress behind, but not Hogwarts, their friends, and all the happy memories.

Talking about their friend or rather "boyfriend, certain tall ginger, snuck up behind them and wrapped their arms around their waist. The chin was placed on the shoulder as the smell of the fruity shampoo was clear. They jumped at the sudden touch, but when they looked over the shoulder and saw their boyfriend's face, they calmed down.

"Curfew is about to start. What are you doing out here in the cold?" Y/N snorted as they gently fell back into their boyfriend's chest. "As if you care about the curfew or any other rules." Fred pretended to be shocked and dramatically gasped. "How can you accuse me of such a thing? After all, my family is filled with head boys and prefects. I could never misbehave or pull a prank." They could basically feel a grin grow on Fred's face and this was confirmed when they turned around in his arms. "Seriously though, what are you doing out here? Have not seen you anywhere but in the library. Studying and doing homework."

"Can we please not talk about homework? At least for now." "Oh Merlin, you do not have to ask me twice." There was something about Fred that made life seem so easy. Everything seemed so easy when they were around each other. Of course, Fred had worries and a lot of pressure on him, however, he never failed to make others laugh and smile. This was something they loved the most about him. In the beginning, they could not stand Fred or his twin George. Since day one, they have been playing pranks on Y/N weekly, if not daily. At some point, it went horribly wrong and hurt Y/N really bad. Not only physically but also mentally.

Fred felt so bad that he got as many sweets as he could from Honeydukes to apologize. He even wrote a letter to make it clear how sorry he was. Maybe Molly had a role in it, but Y/N knew that Fred would not have tried so hard for forgiveness if he would have not been serious. Since that day, Y/N has been falling in love with the Gryffindor a bit more day by day.

Y/N snuggled their face into Fred's chest while the boyfriend tightened his arms around his loved one. "I wish this could last," Y/N whispered while trying to take this moment in. "Why can we not stay here forever?" "And living a long life by the side of Snape? No thanks." Y/N giggled and looked up to him. "Of course not. Being here with our friends and have the time of our lives. Without all of this learning and attending classes early in the morning." They stayed silent for a moment before Y/N repeated, "I just want this to last forever." "This moment?" The expression on Y/N's face saddened. "Everything."

Fred just could only look down at his significant other as he processed the words. "As much as I want to have this teenage life, I can not wait to start my own business with George next year and start a family with you. This, all past and upcoming memories will be something that I will be forever grateful for and remember every day. I know our faith is written in the stars and it looks good for us." Y/N had snuggled themselves back in Fred's arm and quietly listened to his words. "How do you always know the right words to say?" These words seemed to touch Fred deeply since he often felt like a failure to his family. Not being smart or always well-behaved, but knowing that someone appreciated him deeply, meant a lot to him.

"How do you always know the right words and make me not feel like a disappointment?" Y/N poked their finger hard into his chest and Fred let out a loud "ouch" that echoed through the courtyard. "Don't you dare Fred Weasley. You are brilliant, hard-working and so much more. You should be proud of yourself." Not really replying verbally, Fred took their face into his hands and kissed them softly on their lips. "You are brilliant Y/N." And the love of his life.

I know this a short one, but I hope this makes up for the pain I caused you on the "on my mind" one. Feel free to request something in the previous chapter, so I can continue to write. Love and appreciate you all! Fred does too and thinks you are brilliant and valid.
