summary: in george's wedding you and fred were responsible for the rings, guard them with your life. but obviously you had to lose them. it is now your mission to find the rings before george and angelina tie the knot.
"there you go." you said spreading nicely the train of angelina's pearl dress.
she looked beautiful. it was amazing finally feeling carefree after being constantly stressed and pressed if that was going to be your last breath, if the next hex was going to be lethal. and now there you were, breathing without being afraid, cherishing every moment. the battle was over.
"you really do look beautiful, angie." you said while the bride looked in the mirror, you could see she was getting nervous since she was trying to fix what did not need fixing. "i swear to you" she looks at you when you took her hands on yours trying to reassure her.
"everything is going to be perfect. the dress fits perfectly, the food is here-" she started to recite, and you would keep confirming each part "and you and fred have the rings." once again you confirmed that and then you remembered.Â
more like you remembered that in fact you did not know where you and fred had kept the rings. you calmly took your hands from hers and hid them behind your back. trying not to show that you were now sweating and panicking a little. being the maid of honor, you knew that you needed to know what was going on and keep everything at a perfect pace.
"keep breathing, angie. in no time you will be walking down that aisle so you better calm down, honey. i'm going to see fred quickly, make sure everything is ready. " you said going up to the door. "be right back, don't worry. i got everything covered." as soon as the door closed you got rid of the calm face finally assuming that you were panicking.
very soon, angelina and george would walk down the aisle, say their vows and then exchange the rings that you and fred supposedly have. SUPPOSEDLY. so now you were holding your long reddish dress and running in a not so lady way.Â
"y/n darling, is everything ok?" molly said stopping you, you tried once again to hide your emotions and said a fast yes. "you were running crazy, you could've fall or sprained your ankle running around on those heels." she said in a i know that something's going on but i'll let that slide look.
"it's alright, i'm just looking for fred. i need to tell him something. have you seen him?"
"oh good gracious has he told you? finally, i couldn't take any more of his rants thinking no one is listening. i am really happy for you two." you looked extremely confused and that's when molly realized that fred didn't told you yet, that you still havenât found out about how he felt towards you. you were still clueless. "guess we are not talking about the same thing, anyways he must be with george."
you thanked her and continued your way going towards the room of the groom. and soon when you turned on one of the corners you slam against someone. you clanged into them in hopes of not falling and who knows out could even happen more. you already didn't know where the rings were, you didn't need anything else
"sorry, sorry. i was in a hurry. maid of honor duties-" you stopped talking as soon as you looked in fred's eyes. he was in a black tuxedo, a red tie and a wide smile.
"even though we are out of hogwarts you still find a way of bumping into me y/l/n." he said while fixing his tie. "where are you going?" he asked, and you brought him to ginny's room which was empty. "oh c'mon darling didn't have to bring me here, whatever you wanna do i'm up for it." catching you up by surprise you couldn't help but blush, fred just laughed.
"really amusing, truly. but we have a problem, a really big one." you said "you wouldn't happen to know where the rings are, do you?" he started to laugh "fred! stop it! i'm not kidding, i really don't where i put them. george is going to be so mad at us and angelina- oh merlin she is going to murder me." he kept laughing until he saw that you were panicking, he put his hands on your naked shoulders. "oh fred, i canât believe i lost them."
" don't worry. i know where they are." he said holding your hand taking you out of the room. "remember? when george told us to keep them, we gave them to hermione. we knew that we would be too stressed with the wedding and could lose them."
"oh! yes, yes, oh yes i remember. thank merlin."
"you really need to take a break after the wedding. george and angelina are going on a honeymoon maybe we should do the same." he said so easily, almost like it was so natural and even though you knew him for so long, this type of sentences still gave you the chills and rosy cheeks.
"you say that so easily..." you started to say silently but turned to him and said "i wouldnât mind spending some days away on a beach just relaxing, i've always wanted to see more of world."
"i'll take you, i'll show you everything. it seems pretty nice to take some time away." he said "but perhaps we'll talk about it after the ceremony and i do need to have a word with you."
"yeah, we should go get the rings before angelina loses her mind." you said stepping a little way from the tension.
"go ahead, i'll go to hermione and get the rings. save me a dance y/n y/l/n. iâll see you in a second." that last sentence made you smile a little, you remembered more difficult times where that phrase was what you would always say to each other when going on missions for the order. it gave you reassurance that it would always work out.
"see you in a second." you said back with a smile, going back to the bride who was getting all sorts of butterflies.
and then it was time to start the ceremony. it was all simple just like them and because of that it was perfect. tying the knot on a huge field of flowers, sounded like a dream. you never thought about that, like actually picturing yourself in a wedding dress and promising that you would love someone forever. although you already loved someone that felt that would last forever. while going down the aisle with the bridesmaids, you swore you tried but quickly couldn't take your eyes off of fred's.Â
an unbreakable connection. you were in a red dress, but it felt like you could very much be in angelina's shoes but replacing the twin. you never even shared a kiss, besides the one you gave him in the last year of hogwarts before the battle after some drinks that gave you some courage to take action and the one fred gave you after taking you to your bed on the very same night (you didnât remember both and it haunted fred ever since, you only knew because ginny told you, you were hopeful that fred would confess but he never did and you did the same). but you could guarantee that you would say yes in a heartbeat to anything that fred could ask.
on the battle, you were always desperate to find him and when you found out that he was almost killed, you were hit with the guilt of never confessing but after all was you were sure that fred knew even though you had never shared the words i love you.
you contemplated with a smile the emotion of the newlyweds after exchanging their devotions and vows, you could even feel a tear trying to slide down your cheek.
after a while you gave the so precious ring to angelina and fred gave the other to george. exchange rings and love for fred for eternity seemed easy to do. you didn't even notice time pass by after, when you looked it had all turned into a dance party. george was dancing with ginny, they both having the biggest smile. it was a happy day after all. you had just sited after dancing your life away with bill and charlie when a hand touched your shoulder, you smiled knowing who it was.
"so, did you save me a dance?"
"aren't you lucky? i do happen to have time to dance with you, fred weasley." you said getting up, you both swung in silence just enjoying the moment, while everyone was focused on other stuff. you could only hear his heartbeat, it gave you so much comfort. "how long will it take you? didn't you have something to tell me?"
"always a curious witch." he said exchanging his hands and placing them on your back, you put yours around his neck. "i was wondering..." he started whispering in your ear. "how do you feel about going on a date? maybe a day at a field like this, without worries, without missing rings, maid of honor duties, just us. then a dinner, a walk around where i would tell my deepest and darkest secrets and take you home like a gentleman."
"what would you do then? when i would be about to enter my home, standing on my doorsteps, after a small goodbye? shake my hand?"Â
"i am a gentleman. but make no mistake on who i am y/n. i would give you the best kiss of your life, one that you wouldn't ever be able to forget it."
"seems something to look forward. now donât disappoint me, weasley." you said still being a conversation ear to ear, with a smile being a constant on your lips.
"oh now that's something i would never even dream to do." he said giving you a taste, a little kiss on your neck, just in time for lee to break the dance. "see you friday night, i'll pick you up at seven."
he didn't mind at all leaving you to dance with lee. with a grin plastered on his face fully knowing that all you would think was that little kiss until you saw each other again.
