We will meet again ~ Fred Weasley

43| hangover

"What the fuck?" I mumbled along with a groan, I had plenty more sleep left in me but the bright sunlight aiming itself directly in my eyes was making it near impossible. I felt the famous hangover, headache banging against my head along with the urge to throw up everything ingested last night. When I forced myself to sit up with a stretch I could see the boys sprawled out along the floor as well as the girls still passed out on the chairs. I knew I would have to clean up what mess we had made last night so I went straight to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee to give me at least the slightest bit of energy.

I wasn't even tempted to wake them to help with the clean up as in my state I don't think I could handle ten people moaning about their hangovers and headaches I know for a fact I would just snap. I tried to be quiet moving the bottles from the floor to the kitchen, but after smashing one across the wood and no one even flinched I realised they were way too out of it to wake to any noise, making my job much easier, in a way. It obviously didn't take long to tidy up with my wand practically doing the job for me so from then on I had no other option than to sit around and wait for someone to get up and entertain me.

Then again my patience was never that great, "will one of you wake up, I'm bored!" I nudged Ginny and Hermione knowing full well I couldn't face Ronnie without having a rush of guilt from what I had done just last night, but they didn't budge. I tried Harry and Ron gently not wanting to face their wrath knowing they are not morning people, and to my surprise Ron shot his eyes open to meet mine "there's still a joint left, fancy a wake and bake?" He pushed himself off from the floor, aggressively rubbing his eyes and moving his long hair from his face with a yawn, agreeing with a "mmm".

We walked through the tunnel each wrapped in a blanket to not struggle in the morning breeze, and out of the whomping willows base and we sluggishly made our way to Luna's stoner tree. Once again I got impatient and took the risk of lighting it while still walking, not really energetic enough to care if we crossed paths with a Professor. For the majority of the way we stayed in comfortable silence enjoying the joints perks of relieving the queasy feeling and the throbbing occurring in our heads. "I actually had fun last night, you know" Ron tried to force a smile as he spoke but couldn't quite form one on his face with how unmotivated he was right now. "I knew you would Ronald, see it's not just boy talk and pillow fights. Girls know how to have the best time compared to boys..." he shook his head violently in disagreement to my statement, I just chuckled after seeing his expression change to looking more unwell after moving far too quickly for his body to handle.

I passed the end of the joint to Ron allowing him to finish it off, seeing he was much worse off than me, "I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm glad all you lot showed up last night. Seamus and Dean seem like people I want to hang out with more." Ron nodded along with what I was saying "they are nice, 'specially Dean, god that sod is too sweet for his own good. I'm convinced you'd get him to hate you with your attitude!"

My mouth opened wide at his words in shock before I smacked him on the arm with a playful roll of my eyes. "My attitude isn't that bad, and anyway I'm not unnecessarily rude Ronald...
Wait am I?" I stared at him worryingly, I personally didn't think I was too difficult to be around and didn't like that others might think so about me. I hoped not...yes I have a tendency to be rude and insulting but only to those who deserve it or as a joke to my friends. Others outside those categories I didn't really bother making any conversation with above small talk.

He thought about it thoroughly but I knew this in itself was just to piss me off, he shrugged and jumped a little bit as if I would slap him for his response "I'm joking, I'm joking. You're not that bad if people get your humour." We stopped at the tree but by now the joint was long gone, that didn't stop us from flopping down at the base of it to rest. "You see Ron, we have the exact same humour, don't try and deny that" he nodded along again as I continued on "not only that, we are both as stubborn, impatient and we like to make rash decisions without putting much thought into it...I have a theory, we should of been twins instead of Harry and I. He chuckled at my rambling but overall agreed "and anyway we were stuck under a love spell together and we almost died together, I feel like that's shit that happens to twins!" I could no longer even understand what I was saying I wasn't even sure if Ron could.

"That shit shouldn't happen to anyone let alone twins? But anyway you're meant to be my best friend not my twin I know that for sure. You really are you know...my best friend" I smiled sweetly at him, Ron and I, although the best of friends weren't the type of people to open up and be soppy with each other so, this rare occasion of him spilling his thoughts only made it more special and meaningful to me. "You're mine too Ron, honestly you're the one I would want to go to if I need cheering up. Over anyone else, I know you won't push to know what's wrong if I said no, you would just make it your goal to make me feel better..." He laid down flat on the grass spreading out his arms for me to join him, I did so quickly resting my head on his arm. "Now all you have to do is marry Freddie boy and become a Weasley" I giggled I hadn't thought much about marriage in itself but I was curious to see how Fred felt about it in the later years.

"A Weasley? God what an honour!" He pushed my head with his palm at my sarcasm but he clearly knew I was joking. I didn't try and hide the love I had for his family, they were everything I had ever wanted when I was younger and not only do I have two people who treat me like their daughter but I have three best friends and a boyfriend. I sure would love to become an official member of the household, along with Harry with Ginny and Hermione with Ron. God imagine that, all three of the outsiders that were brought into care by Mr and Mrs Weasley actually joining it legally...

"Do you think Fred and I will last that long? Or if he even wants marriage...with me?" He seemed a bit shocked at my question as if he was confused why I would ever question it, relieving me in a way. "You don't see or hear it?" I arched a brow at him clearly showing I was unclear on what he was talking about, "god you're clueless, you don't see how he looks at you when you think he's not looking? How he talks about you when you're not around?" I shook my head with a slight blush on my cheeks, wow Fred Weasley, who would have thought you could make me fall more in love with you?

"Go on then, tell me what he says" I started to get excited at hearing the gossip jumping about like a child forgetting about my once awful hangover, "absolutely not, I'm not getting murdered by Fred...and George because- well you know what they're like." I eventually nodded as it was true, if Fred is going on a rampage you can bet your life George is going along with it, and vice versa.

"I won't tell him, I swear." I held up my fingers crossed over each other and he rolled his eyes at my desperation "I'll tell you one thing, he said he sees everything happening with you, kids, marriage, the lot. He wants it all with you Kat." I blushed harder than ever before, it wasn't just that he had said it, it was that I felt the exact same...
