An Affair to Remember (Fred Weasley)

35) Weasley's Wizard Wheezes

Trigger warning for this chapter: exhibitionism, public sex

Bit of violence in the end, mentions of domestic abuse

"Morning Adrienne darling" Noah murmured, his hand slowly sliding underneath her t-shirt, her skin cold under his touch. Adrienne frowned internally, propping herself up on her elbows.

"Morning Noah" she said quickly. Before she could do anything else, Noah climbed on top of her, littering her neck with kisses. Adrienne felt sick in the stomach at his touch and quickly pushed him away. He looked at her in confusion, attempting to touch her again but she blew off his actions once more, getting out of bed.

"What's the matter with you?" he asked irritably, "You've been acting weird for the past few days"

"I'm just not in the mood" she said quietly, pulling on her dressing gown as she made her way to the bathroom. She started to brush her teeth as Noah followed her inside. "You never seem to be in the mood lately"

"Forgive me for not wanting to have sex every other day" as soon as she said those words she realised that they were not entirely true, she did want to have sex every other day, just not with Noah. She felt terrible for entertaining these thoughts.

"Alright I'm not going to force you, but you know we both want a baby, and your parents a grandchild, we should really get to it if you want to get pregnant" he reasoned.

"We have enough time" Adrienne replied, stepping in the shower to wash her tension away. She knew that both her and Fred were being very careful, using all the silencing charms and meeting only when everyone else was asleep. But it was weird for her to think that her husband was in the same house, in some ways, it made it exciting but she also realised how immoral it was. She felt guilty but she pushed the feelings away. It was only for a week.

Downstairs, everyone was hogging piles of pancakes when Noah and Adrienne joined them.

"Ah! Noah! You're here. I've been called to the Ministry today and tomorrow to do some last minute work and I want you to come with me. We'll be spending the whole day there" Arthur said, folding his newspaper and resting it on the table.

"Yes sir" Noah nodded obediently.

"I still can't believe they're calling you during the Christmas Break" Molly frowned, handing them each a plate of breakfast. "Work is work dear, and as head of department I have a duty to make sure that everything runs smoothly" Arthur replied.

"That reminds me, Verity wrote to us saying that the new stock of Boggart Bangers and Peace Disturbers are going to be delivered today" George said.

"Today?" Fred whined, "Does that mean we're going to have to go to work?"

"Yea, we should, don't want those delivery boys to mess up the delivery, they're all completely useless. We should leave around 3" George said, biting on some toast.

"D'you think I can come see the joke shop George? I've only ever seen it once" Oliver asked. George looked up at him, surprised, "I thought you hated all those products, you made such a big deal about them at school"

"If I'm being honest I always thought they were pretty cool, until you set one off in the Quidditch ground and practice was delayed for weeks. But I'd love to see them now" Oliver said excitedly.

"Ah, one of our better pranks" George grinned.

"Adrienne, you haven't seen the joke shop either, would you like to come?" Fred asked suddenly. Fred and Adrienne almost never spoke to each other directly when Noah was around in fear of slip ups so this came as a bit of a surprise to her.
