The Burrow was bustling with redheads and company as the weather outside remained dreary. The Weasleys always had company. No matter the size of their home nor paycheck there was always room for one more.
You were currently sinking into the seemingly never-ending armchair by the fireside, enthralled in the flames and your own thoughts. The twins were busying themselves with different plans and formulas across the room, and the rest of the Weasleys were wandering in and out of each room. You didnât truly know anybody very well in the Burrow, but when Mrs. Weasley caught wind of a student without a home for the summer, well, she practically packed your things for you.
âHey,â One of the twins snuck up behind you, you couldnât quite tell them apart yet but you thought it was Fred, smiling widely at how surprised you seemed to be that someone would speak to you.
âYou are the one girl
And you know that itâs true
Iâm feeling younger
Every time that Iâm alone with youâ
You were flustered, youâd heard of the infamous Weasley twins but had never thought they would bother talking to you. Your fear mustâve shown because, âdonât worry, I donât bite,â Fred paused, âmost of the time.â He winked and your lips formed a small smile.
âThough, he does tend to pry,â George called from across the room. You almost thought you saw Fred blush from the corner of your eye.
âAnd tease,â Ginny said as she walked in and out as quickly as she came.
âAnd scare the living hell out of you,â Ron did the same.
âReally? My own family, how could you?â Fred paused, holding his heart dramatically, âhow could you forget prank?â You laughed, and continued to do so with Fred and George until you were called for dinner.
Though Molly Weasley was possibly the best hostess one could have, youâd been worried how youâd get on with the others. Maybe it wouldnât be so bad after all.
You spent the majority of the next few weeks with Fred and George, though mostly Fred. You hadnât had this much fun since you could remember. You couldâve mutually said youâd become best friends in these few weeks.
âWe were sitting in a parked car
Stealing kisses in the front yard
We got questions we should not askâ
One night at the dinner table Mrs. Weasley began commenting on the amount of time the two of you had been. Your face heated up as Ron began hinting that more was happening than all youâd been telling them. You glanced up at Fred and, shockingly, he seemed just as embarrassed as you.
You had to admit to yourself, if no one else, you did have more feelings for the tall joker than you let on.
After cleaning up dinner, Ronâs conversation continued with some of his siblings, but in more detail, for lack of a better word.
âSorry,â Fred mouthed to you, youâd never seen him so embarrassed. You laughed and shrugged in response. The two continued listening, amused,though also because you thought they might assume things if they noticed you two leaving together.
All eyes were now on Ron and it was your chance to leave. Fred gestured to the kitchen door and you followed him out.
âSorry about Ron, this is the only time heâs been around an non-ginger girl, other than Granger, since⌠Well, I donât think heâs really been around a lot of girls. Heâs just trying to impress you,â he chuckled as he began making the two of you hot cocoa.
âImpress me? Why the hell would he want to do that?â You asked, genuinely surprised.
âWell why the hell not? Youâre practically perfect,â he said it so casually you almost spat out your hot chocolate.
âIn the summer, as the lilacs bloom
Love flows deeper than the river
Every moment that I spend with you
We were sat upon our best friendâs roof
I had both of my arms round you
Watching the sunrise replace the moonâ
âHey, Y/N, I have something I wanna show you tonight, if youâre up for it,â Fred asked you as you walked into the kitchen for breakfast. Ron had begun laughing, what brains he had left out, at this statement (youâd become quite annoyed with his ongoing theories).
âWhat is it?â You asked cautiously, ignoring the giggling Ron.
âWell youâll have to find out, wonât you,â he smirked. Still cautious, you agreed and waited anxiously until the set time.
You were waiting by the front door when Fred came running down the stairs, grabbed your hand, and continued on. His backpack grasping onto his shoulder, he dragged you to the broom shed, you both picking a considerably large amount of daisies along the way, and took both of your brooms. Through the fooling around and poking fun of each other, somehow, youâd made it up onto the roof of the Burrow.
âWell, this is our stop,â he said, looking up.
You hadnât noticed how beautiful the stars were until now. Each star sparkled with a different light from the others. It was marvelous. When you looked back over at Fred heâd been staring at you but quickly looked away. You mustâve gotten something in your hair on the way here, you thought.
Fred began unpacking his bag. Four jumpers, sweets, a blanket, a sleeping bag, sweets, a thermos (presumably hot cocoa), water, more sweets, and a camera. He was always prepared. You laughed at the amount of sweets heâd brought, he looked at you like he was unaware one wouldnât bring three bags of sweets on a trip to their rooftop.
The two of you sat down on the cold roof and starred up at the stars in peaceful silence. You looked over at him and he seemed just as entranced as you were, the wonder in his face made him even more handsome and fascinating than before.
When you both started talking it didnât seem like you could stop. He asked the questions heâd been dying to ask for the month and a bit youâd been there. You found he was a man of more depth than he let on. His eyes would light up when talked about things he was particularly passionate about and would scowl when he heard of someone being rude to you, saying theyâd âregret it later.â You made a daisy chain for each of your heads, he wasnât very enthusiastic about it but he wore it anyways, and you both took more pictures than you could count. It was, quite possibly, the best night of your life up to this point.
After several hours of talking and laughing, youâd moved back to mostly to watching the sky, exchanging words and thoughts every once in a while, whilst each wearing three jumpers and sharing both the sleeping bag and blanket. You were having a competition of who could find the most constellations and shooting stars for the last bit of cocoa, you were winning.
âOh I see one! Another point for me!â You bragged and he begrudgingly scraped another tally under your initial on the roof with a rock youâd found under your back.
âI donât even think youâre seeing them anymore, you just want to win!â He accused you playfully.
âYouâre just mad because Iâm up by ten points.â
âOf course Iâm mad; Iâm down by ten points!â
âItâs not my fault I took astrology!â He rolled his eyes and looked back up. You both fell asleep soon after you won the cocoa.
You were startled awake by an excited Fred, who laughed at your scared reaction. You simply rolled your eyes at him.
âYouâre ridiculous, you know that right?â you stated, he just rolled his and pointed out at the sky impatiently.
You were in awe. It was just as beautiful as the night before but in a completely different way. The sun was climbing up over the treetops, shedding an orange light on anything in itâs path. You knew Fred was looking at you but you just smiled and continued watching; this was too wonderful to miss.
âHow would you feel, if I told you I loved you?
Itâs just something that I want to do
Iâll be taking my time, spending my life
Falling deeper in love with you
So tell me that you love me tooâ
Ron was on a roll again; telling his many âstoriesâ about the two of you to his siblings. You had to step out to the front yard to cool down from all the blushing.
You stepped further out into the night, staring up at the stars. You were thinking about, to be completely honest, Fred. Possible love was always a difficult subject to, even temporarily, erase from ones mind. For Merlinâs sake, youâd only known him for two months, though you were leaving for hogwarts soon so this may have been your best chance. You were mental, but he often seemed to be equally so.
âThere you are, Y/N, âwas wondering where youâd gone,â Fred stated walking towards you from behind, making you jump. âSorry about Ron, by the way, he can be a complete gââ
As he reached you, you turned, with a great jolt of courage and spontaneity, placing your hands on his neck, you brought his lips down onto yours.
You were genuinely shocked when he kissed back. He moved his hands to your waist and held you close, deepening the kiss. You broke the kiss for air, earning a groan from Fred. All you could do was laugh, and the best part was; he laughed with you. Youâd done it. Still holding each other, he placed a small kiss on your nose, you giggled. He kissed you again.
âHow would you feel, if I told you I loved you?â He asked between kisses as he tried holding you impossibly closer.
âWell then; I love you,â he smiled his adorably childish smile as you kissed just bellow his lips.
âWell, I love you too.â
A/N: pretty sure this is the fastest Iâve ever written a decent fanfic so yippee! Thanks to all you babes who read this! :>
