The door swung open to reveal Fred Weasley. I beamed widely at him but he looked down at me in sorrow and pulled me into a hug. "Fred?" I asked in a worried voice "Fred what's wrong?" Fred released his hold on me and lightly kissed my lips.

"I need to tell you something," he slipped his hand into mine and led me into the sitting room he sat and, still holding his hand, I sat next to him. "You may know that last night we – the Order I mean – retrieved Harry from his house in Privet Drive," I nodded having known of the plan and urging Fred to continue "and you also know about the decoys?" I nodded again. "You're dad was one of the couriers and the person he was flying with became scared and disapperated," I knew what his next sentence would be and I could feel the tears sting my eyes "unfortunately they disapperated just as a killing curse was fired; it hit your dad, Nay, he's dead." The tears that stung my eyes only moments before rolled down my cheeks when I blinked.

"Did," my voice cracked and I cleared my throat "Did they find him?" my eyes searched his face and I knew the answer immediately. I lowered my head and began to sob; Fred pulled me into his warm embrace. He stroked my hair with his hands and made soothing noises in an attempt to calm me down. I am unsure of the amount of time that passed I am sure that when I had calmed down Fred was still holding me in his arms and stroking my hair.

"Fred, I'm so sorry. You must have hundreds of things to do and I'm keeping you from them." I croaked my voice hoarse from crying for so long.

"No, I have nothing to do that's more important than being with you," He kissed the top of my head "and there is nothing that can keep me away from you either." I looked at him thankfully and he smiled down at me weakly.

"Fred?" came a voice from behind me and Fred looked up, I turned to see who belonged to the voice and saw Molly in the doorway "It's getting late, maybe you should take Naomi home?" Fred nodded and stood up. I stood and watched as Fred bid a fond farewell to his mother.

"Mrs. Weasley?" I asked tentatively and she looked at me lovingly "could give Harry a message for me?" she nodded "Can you tell him the mission is complete…and that I refuse to do it again." Confusion crossed the faces of both Fred and his mother but she nodded in agreement and consoled me on the loss of my father.

Less than a minute later Fred and I had apperated to the apartment we shared in London.

'Come on love," he said "let's go to bed." I nodded and we both retreated into the bedroom, as soon as my head hit the pillow I was asleep. This had been one of the longest days of my life and one I was not going to forget anytime soon.

I awoke the next morning with Fred's hand resting on my hip and his lips kissing my bare shoulder. "Fred?" I mumbled not quite awake. His hand travelled up under my shirt and I was instantly wide awake; the person next to me was not Fred. I pushed the hand away and turned over to see who the unknown assailant is. I gasp and a hand covers my mouth to stop me from screaming.

"The Dark Lord is coming for you my pet," he whispered and licked my cheek "Soon you will be his." He removed his hand from my mouth and disapperated. I screamed and Fred came running into the room to see me backed against the wall, tears of fear running down my cheeks.

"Nay!" he said and pulled me into a hug "What is it?"

"I – I thought it was you…in the bed." I shook my head and wrapped my arms around Fred "But it wasn't…Fred he is coming for me."

"Who baby? Who's coming for you? Who was in the bed?"

"Lucius Malfoy…The Dark Lord…he is coming for me." I was scared and Fred could tell. He tilted me head so I was looking him in the eyes.

"As long as I'm around no one is going to hurt you Nay, okay?" he said his voice filled with many components; anger, fear, most of all love. I simply nodded "I'm not leaving your side today." I smiled at him and shook my head.

"Yes you are; you have to go to the shop. I'll be fine." I knew my voice lacked the conviction I wanted it to have. Fred shook his head.

"George can handle it. And you're obviously not 'fine'; you lost your dad and had Lucius Malfoy in bed with you threatening your life. I'm not going anywhere you aren't."

"I need to shower," I said simply and he smiled.

"Then I guess I do too," he lifted me in his arms, bridal style, "Showering is a great way to relieve stress you know?"

"So I've heard," I replied and smiled at him.

Just as Fred assured me he never left my side all day, it was a fact I didn't mind all that much except when we arrived at The Burrow and my one-on-one meeting with Harry included Fred as well.

"Fred," I growled at him under my breath, turning my back to the others "I don't want you to hear what is going to be said!"

"I want to hear it," he whispered back not wanting the others to hear our little squabble "if it has to do with you, it has to do with me too. You know that!"

"Yes Fred but everyone needs their secrets and this is one of mine! I don't want you to know what will be said between Harry and me let alone listen to it first hand!"

"I don't care Naomi, I want to hear it! How bad can it be?"

"You have no idea how bad it can be! If it was for any other reason I would let you listen but what I need to speak to Harry about is something I fear will cause you to despise me for the rest of your life and mine!"

"Nothing could make me despise you Naomi!"

"I'm certain that the conversation about to happen with Harry and me will!"

"It's not like your some sort of Death Eater Naomi! I want to hear the conversation!" at his words I lost the ability to argue any more. 'Some sort of Death Eater' is exactly what I am – was.
