"Roxy?" Fred Weasley called, knocking on the red door of his younger sister's flat, coffee in hand. "Rox?" He called again, pausing to put his ear to the door. Maybe she was busy and didn't hear him?
He listened for a second and hear... sniffles? Was she crying?
He banged louder on the door, and finally she threw it open. Her eyes were ringed red and there were tears rolling down her cheeks.
"What?" She demanded.
"Are-are you okay?" He asked softly, his eyebrows furrowing. Why would she be crying? Did her boyfriend dump her? His free hand clenched. Well, Fred would just have to beat him to a pulp, then.
Roxanne rolled her eyes and took the coffee from his hand. She took a sip, but nearly spit it out and shoved it back at Fred. "Cinnamon Viennese, ew."
"Rox?" He demanded. "Why are you crying?"
She gestured to the muggle telly their grandpa Arthur had set up for her earlier in the week. "I'm watching muggle soaps. They're really melodramatic, but very interesting," she admitted, shrugging her shoulders.
"Oh," Fred nodded.
"Wanna watch?"
"Ehh..." He hesitated. "Fine, but I won't be crying."

Fred sat on his sister's couch and sobbed after the last episode. "She's pregnant with his baby, and he doesn't even know! She thinks he doesn't love her, but he does! I hate this show!"
"Another episode?" Roxanne suggested, also sniffling.
"Yes." Fred nodded, wiping at his eyes.
