I know the last chapter was like the the Everest of fluff but this one is pretty damn fluffy as well, save maybe from the ending.

Okay, now I'm going to mention a few beautiful people, so make sure you read their names and remember how awesome they are.

kisstherainandthesun, OffTheDeepEndx, L00ve-Joanna, peacesista123, LovelyListener, Hiwatarisgurl38 and Iknewyouweremuggle.

They are amazing because they followed and favorited this story, and I totally love them for it.

But the Oscar goes to readingaddict24 because of the constant reviews! I LOVE YOU!

Bolded lines are meant to be on portuguese... I don't have to keep on saying it, right?

"Fred..."

Kiss.

"Fred."

Kiss.

"Fred!"

"What?" Fred whined and pulled back just enough to look at her face, their noses almost touching.

"You need to go back home and so do I, we've been here for hours." Cassie said and smiled when he pouted and frowned.

"Can't we live here forever? George can visit." He asked with a sigh and leaned back into the cushions, pulling her on top of him as he did so.

"As tempting as that sounds, I don't think it's a very well thought idea, love." She said from her spot on his chest. "You have the portkey, you can come home whenever you want. I can even get you another one that will get you directly to my room..." She said with a smirk and he grinned widely.

"Aren't you a devious little thing." She snorted.

"I'm devious, but I'm not little." He licked his lips at the husky sound of her voice and she leaned down to kiss him passionately. Once again she felt him grow underneath her but this time he stopped her.

"I can't do that to you again, Cassie." He sighed and moved her from top of him. This time was her turn to pout and he quickly kissed it away. "You're right, we should probably go home."

Fred disappeared the blanket and cushions and Cassie got them back to the hill where they had met a few hours ago. He hugged her close and she hugged him back, moving her head to rest on his shoulder.

"I don't want you to go." Fred said with a broken voice and she hugged him tighter. "Are you my girlfriend? I want you to be. Please?" He asked in a shy whisper and she was so happy that she could get the chance to kiss his hesitation away.

"Of course, love." She answered with a smile and they started to kiss again, this time slowly and thoroughly, trying to ingrain the feeling of each other into their minds forever.

"I know we've said it before and people get freaked out when they say it but I love you, Cassie. I really love you." His breathing was labored and his hands were cupping her face, with their foreheads touching and their eyes closed.

"I really love you too, Freddie... I have for some time now." The corner of his mouth quirked upwards but he didn't open his eyes yet, instead he closed the small gap between their mouths and kissed her with all he had. She responded just as eagerly and they were lost to the rest of the world in seconds.

"I have to go at some point." She said when they pulled apart.

"I prefer not to think about that."

"I told you that you can come whenever you want. I'll be waiting for you."

"You won't have to wait long, I'll be going every time I have a free moment."

"I have to go, Fred, you too."

"I know, but that doesn't mean I have to like it."

"Goodbye, Freddie. I love you."

He smiled and kissed her one last time.

"Goodbye, Cassie. I love you too."

And a few seconds later, she was gone.

"Fred?" George's voice sounded but he didn't pay attention.

He was laying on the snow with his arms and legs open as if ready to make an angel, but without moving. His eyes were closed and a pleased smile was adorning his face. The feeling of the warm sun on his skin was a plus, making him feel better than he already did.

"Are you dead?" He asked jokingly and poked his cheek with his wand.

"Might as well." Fred answered with a full grin now, opening his eyes to find his twin kneeled next to him, a knowing smile plastered on his face.

"I knew it'd go well, my question now is how well did it go."

As Fred told his brother every single part of the story without leaving a single detail out, George's incredulous expression only grew.

"I can't believe you did it on the treehouse, mate. You're my only hero for the rest of my life." George said as he moved to lay down beside his twin.

"Merlin, George. I can't explain how it felt. It was... I just can't." He sighed, frustrated. "It was the most amazing I've ever felt and we didn't even have to take our clothes off. Can you imagine what it would be like if we...?" He trailed off and bit his lip, restraining himself.

"If you get a boner here I will hex you with all I have, Fred. I mean it." George said seriously and got up, pulling Fred up as well.

"Yeah, I know. Let's not talk about that again." He nodded in response and they both decided to walk back to the Burrow.

"Are you telling mum and dad?" George asked after a few moments with his hands the pockets of his coat.

"I don't know... should I? I wanted to tell Ginny... she's gonna be happy, I think." Fred sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"I definitely think you should tell mum and dad." George answered immediately. "It is a big deal... yeah, Ginny's probably going to ask you to take her to Brazil next time you go if you tell her, keep that in mind. I don't think Ron and Hermione should know, though. They are already having a hard time not being able to tell Harry about her, let's not add another secret to their burden."

"Yeah... yeah, I suppose you're right. Yeah, I'll tell them as soon as possible."

Suddenly George started laughing out loud, confusing Fred and making him frown.

"What's up with you?" Fred asked.

"Man..." George began to say but started laughing again. Once he was able to control himself he started speaking again. "I really wouldn't wanna be in your shoes when Snape gives you the father talk." Fred stopped walking abruptly and his face paled.

"I hadn't thought about that. Oh no... Merlin. No... no, I'm dead. I'm going to die, oh no... nononono." He said desperately and George just kept laughing hysterically.

"Calm down, mate." George said placing his hands on his twin's shoulders, successfully bringing him back to reality. "I don't think he's going to kill you. He'll definitely hurt you but..." He started laughing mid sentence again and Fred moved from his grasp with a scowl on his face.

"It's not funny. I don't wanna piss my pants in front of him out of fear. Oh Merlin... I'm dating Severus Snape's daughter." He cried out and George took pity on his scared expression and decided to calm him down.

"Freddie, breathe." Fred did as told and the color started to return to his face. "Look, you're not just dating Severus Snape's daughter. You know she's more than that. She's Cassie. Loving, funny, nice, smart Cassie. As long as you don't break her heart I promise your balls will stay just where they belong." He finished seriously and Fred snorted before laughing.

"Thanks George." He said with a small smile and hugged his twin tightly.

"Anytime, Fred." George answered as he hugged him back.

The next day when Fred woke up he discovered that the house was half empty, save from his mother, George and Ginny who were asleep, and his father, who was about to leave for work. He stopped him before he did and told him and Molly that he had something important to say. He could see that Molly felt uneasy and probably had a thousand theories about what he wanted to say, and none of them were nice.

However, when he finally gathered the courage to say it, he wasn't very surprised to see that his parents were absolutely elated with the news. Molly had the biggest grin on her face and he was happy he had managed to make her forget about Percy for at least some time. Arthur had to leave but congratulated him and said that Cassie seemed like a great girl, and that he was very happy for him.

George and Ginny made their way downstairs at the same time, and George guessed the reason behind Molly's sudden change of mood in a second.

"Two down, one more to go." He said and looked at Ginny, who stared at him as if he was insane.

"Okay..." She said with a frown and sat down to eat breakfast. Fred moved to sit on the chair opposite to hers, now completely catching her attention. She left her toast on the plate and crossed her arms. "What's going on?"

"I need to tell you something but you need to swear on everything you love you won't talk about it with anyone. Except from George, mum and dad, who already know." She raised an eyebrow and looked at him incredulously.

"What about Ron?" He shook his head. "Bill? Phlegm?" She asked with a sneer and he shook his head more vigorously.

"Like you'd tell anything to Fleur, Gin." George said with a snort and she nodded with a shrug.

"True. So, what is it?" She asked resting her elbows on the table.

"Remember how I became close friends with Cassie..."

"Yeah..." She said and he could see the corners of her mouth lifting up, no doubt because she already imagined what was coming.

"Well, as of yesterday, she's officially my girlfriend." Ginny's eyes opened wide and her mouth transformed into a full grin. She got up from her chair and ran to where he was, throwing herself at his arms.

"It took you both so long! Congratulations!" She said and planted a loud and wet kiss on his cheek.

"Ugh," He said pushing her away and cleaning his cheek with his sleeve. "Gross."

"You wouldn't be saying gross if it was Cassie..." She said with a sing-song voice and he narrowed his eyes at her. She walked back to her chair and took a bite from her toast. "Anyway, really. I'm very happy for you. I stand by my belief that this should've happened sooner but... I'm glad it finally did. She'll be good for you." She said with a soft smile and he smiled back.

"O-kay." George said as he finished his breakfast. "Enough sibling bonding, you're making me sick." Ginny stuck her tongue at him and threw him a piece of bacon that he caught with his hand and ate without remorse.

"So, when are you going to visit?" Ginny asked Fred, feigning disinterest.

"Today, we'll only have the shop open until noon." He furrowed his eyebrows. "Why?"

"You know, I haven't got a nice tan in so long... I really wish I could have a chance to go somewhere where it's currently summer, preferably in South America... and I don't want to brag, but I'm such an amazing sister, aren't I?" She asked innocently and Fred rolled his eyes and smiled.

"Ginny, do you want to come with me and George to see Cassie?" He asked and she brought a hand to her chest, pretending to be surprised.

"What an odd and surprising request, Fred! You know I would only go if you really wanted me to..." She said and he shook his head with a smile.

"I want you to come with me and George to visit Cassie, Ginny."

"Oh, then I must go. I'm such a good sister, I wouldn't be able to say no when you ask so nicely..." She said with a smirk.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say."

The twins took Ginny with them to the shop and since they'd done it before, no one questioned their actions. The only others who really knew where they were going afterwards were Molly and Arthur, who, obviously, didn't say anything.

Ginny wasn't pleased with having to travel but portkey, but didn't say anything about it. They fell into Cassie's backyard at 10 a.m. Brazil time, and as soon as they tried to get up they heard an excited shriek.

"Oh my God! Ginny!" Cassie said excitedly as she helped her getting up, hugging her the second she was on her feet. "I haven't seen you in so long! How are you doing?"

"Well, I landed on my butt so I'd have to say that I've seen better times..." She replied with a groan.

"Nice, I'm her boyfriend but she decides to say hello to my little sister first." Fred complained crossing his arms. She grinned and turned to him, enveloping him in her arms and crashing her lips to his. He smiled and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss.

"Hello." She said breathlessly when they pulled away.

"Hi." He replied with a satisfied smile, his arms still around her waist.

"I'm gonna throw up." Ginny whispered to George, who laughed and nodded.

When they pulled away Cassie moved to hug George, burying her face on his neck.

"Thank you for helping me, George. I owe you so much." She whispered and he smiled.

"No you don't." He replied when she pulled away. "It was nothing, really."

"You know it wasn't, and someday I will pay you back." She said seriously. "Have you eaten yet? We ate breakfast not so long ago, lunch will be ready in couple hours."

"What time is it? We ate lunch an hour ago." Ginny said as they made their way inside the house.

"Around ten, I believe." She said with a shrug. "Anyway... Ginny, I want you to meet my grandmother. She's outside, I think..." Cassie trailed off and opened the front door, successfully taking all the air out of her lungs.

"Did I die? Am I in heaven?" Ginny asked with her mouth opened in surprise at the beautiful sight in front of her. She turned to Fred and George. "I'm not coming back, I'm staying here forever. It's your responsibility to tell mum and dad what happened to me." She said walking out and admiring the beautiful beach. Her brothers rolled their eyes at the same time but smiled.

"Not gonna happen." They both answered.

"Grandma?" Cassie asked and Isabel looked up from the flowers she was taking care of. "Fred and George are here, and they brought their sister with them. I'd like you to meet her." Isabel smiled warmly and started to walk to them.

"Oh, hello boys. I haven't seen you here in some time." They both smiled but Fred's was clearly forced. Cassie noticed and grabbed his hand, pulling him closer to her.

"Hello, ma'am." Ginny said with a smile and extended her hand. "I'm Ginevra Weasley, but please call me Ginny."

"Nonsense, darling." Isabel said and pushed her hand away to give her a hug and two kisses oh her cheeks. "You are part of the family now as well. I'm Isabel, Cassie's grandmother. It's a pleasure." Ginny grinned at her warm welcome and nodded.

"I feel really sorry for Bill." Fred said to George when they were walking a few feet behind Ginny and Cassie, who were together with their arms linked, talking animatedly and laughing every five minutes as they tried ridiculous hats, sunglasses, necklaces, bracelets from the stalls they passed.

George, who wasn't paying attention to them and was rather occupied looking at the girls on the beach, didn't caught on what he meant.

"How come?" He asked with a frown.

"Mum and Ginny... if they didn't like Cassie I would feel like crap. Honestly. And they don't just dislike Fleur... they downright hate her. Mum is a bit better at hiding it but Ginny... Merlin, she absolutely despises her and everyone knows it. I can't imagine how bad it makes him feel. Bill loves her so much..." He answered and bit his lip.

"Yeah... I know. But Fred, Cassie and Fleur are really different, personality wise, I mean. Cassie's a bit more down-to-earth... their personalities don't clash so much. Fleur... well... you know how she is. But they will have to learn to live with her, because she's not going away anytime soon."

"Yeah, but still. I wish he'd got the chance I did."

"Don't worry mate." George said patting his back. "He will... eventually." Fred looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "Probably... hopefully."

"Hey, don't fall behind!" Cassie yelled as she and Ginny waited for them to catch up. Fred intertwined his fingers with hers and gave her a small peck on the lips before they started walking together again.

Months passed with Cassie and Fred constantly visiting each other, and the ending of March arrived too soon for Cassie's liking.

She was sitting on her bed biting her lip nervously, while Rosa tried to calm her down.

"Cass, it's not like you've never done it before."

"I've never done it before with him! It's a big step... I mean... we fool around a lot but we've never actually done it. It's his birthday, I want it to be perfect."

"It will be." Rosa replied with determination. "Don't worry about it."

"Do you think it's too cheesy? Maybe he won't like it. I mean... Oh God, I don't know." Cassie said and buried her head on her hands.

"It's amazing, Cassie. He'll love it. I promise."

"You can't promise that, but thank you." She smiled weakly and Rosa rubbed circles on her back.

Fred and George spent their birthday on the Burrow with the family that could visit, which meant that Cassie couldn't be there with them. As her present the sent them a pair of mobile phones identical to hers, with a note that read:

You'd be amazed how much faster than an owl phone calls are.

You'd be amazed how cool is to mix muggle technology with magic, as well. The results you can get are great. For example, making two mobile phones work perfectly without real service and a never-ending battery.

Yeah, I'm just that awesome.

Enjoy it

(and you better call me first)

(like you have anyone else to call)

Love you both

Cassie

They opened her present when they were alone, to avoid any prying questions from their brother or anyone else who shouldn't know anything about her.

They left the Burrow at 8 p.m., and Fred was ready to go twenty minutes after they arrived to their flat.

"Good luck, Fred." George said with a smirk and Fred smiled.

"Thanks... bye."

Cassie had given him a special portkey that sent him to what appeared to be the middle of the jungle.

"Cassie?" He asked nervously, looking around him. He felt a pair of arms around his waist and sighed, contented. He turned around and saw that she was wearing a summer dress and flip flops, and smiled at the sight of her. She moved her arms to his neck, just as his moved to her hips.

"Happy birthday." She whispered before she pulled his head down to meet hers and kissed him hard, pouring her feelings into it the best she could.

"Happy indeed." Fred replied with a goofy smile when they parted to breathe.

"Come on, your surprise hasn't even started yet. But... I need you to close your eyes and don't open them until I say so. Or you will ruin it and I will be sad."

"Okay." He answered with a smile and pulled her closer to him.

"No. Promise." He rolled his eyes playfully.

"Cross my heart, hope to die." He answered and she grinned, kissing him briefly.

"Ready?"

"Ready."

Fred didn't feel anything, as usual, so he couldn't know if they had arrived to their destination or not. Cassie pulled away from his arms and he felt her move him so he was facing something, but he still didn't know what it was. He concentrated on the sounds and the feeling of the air around him, and wasn't very surprised when he couldn't feel or hear anything. As usual, she had thought about everything.

"Okay, you can open your eyes." She said and her voice sounded a little further now. When he opened his eyes he felt his mouth open in surprise, as his eyes moved fast to capture the entire scene around him as fast as possible.

The sounds and feeling returned and he could feel the breeze moving his hair and he could hear the waterfall in front of him. They were in the jungle still, without a doubt, but this was what looked like a clearing and a lake with crystal waters. Fred had never seen a natural place so majestic before, and was completely speechless.

In front of him, Cassie was biting her lip but waited patiently for him to say something. When he kept silent she decided to speak, but he did first.

"This is amazing, Cassie." He said and looked at her with wonder in his eyes, making her smile.

"Do you really like it? I wasn't sure if you'd like something like this but then I said what the hell, if he doesn-" Her rambling was cut by one of his world-shaking kisses that she had grown so accustomed to.

"It's perfect, I love it. I love you." He said quickly before kissing her again.

"That's not all, I didn't bring you here just to see this." Fred raised an eyebrow and Cassie intertwined her fingers with his, pulling him behind her. They walked a few feet before stopping in front of a blanket laid on the floor, on top of which could be found what Fred knew was all the food and drinks he loved. Cassie bit her lip again and looked up at him expectantly, gauging his reaction.

"I really love you." He said with a smile and pulled her flush to him so their lips were barely touching. "You did this all for me?"

"Yes." She answered dizzily and leaned in to kiss him, tangling her fingers into his hair. He moaned and she pulled away to start kissing his neck when his stomach growled. She laughed out loud and he blushed.

"Let's eat, we'll continue this later." She said and after one more kiss they both sat down and enjoyed their meal.

They talked and laughed together, occasionally sharing kisses, until it was nighttime and their only source of light was the moon above them. The food was long gone, and now they were just laying on the ground, kissing.

Okay, this is it. Cassie thought and pulled away from him. He opened his eyes and looked at her with a confused frown.

"There is one more thing before the day is over." She said softly and stood up. He followed without question. "But I need you to close your eyes again, yeah? And don't look. Please." He could see she was nervous and didn't know why, but nodded without a doubt. "Okay." She said and took a deep breath before pulling him close to her, waiting for him to close his eyes. When he did she moved them both a few feet away, to a flat and big rock that was directly above a deeper part of the lake.

She pulled away and smiled slightly when he frowned, upset at their lost of contact. She took another deep breath and slowly and unzipped her dress without making a sound, letting it fall to the ground. Her underwear followed, and after a second of hesitation she jumped into the water.

Fred, startled by the sudden sound, opened his eyes and gasped when he saw her clothes laying in a pile on the floor. He looked around him and then to the water, seeing her head emerge a few seconds later. He just stood there, wondering if what was happening was really what he was thinking that was happening, when she spoke.

"Are you going to stay there or are you going to join me?" She asked softly and he shook his head, coming back to his senses. With so transparent waters and the moonlight he was able to see most of her naked body, but when she jumped a bit before going underwater again and her breasts bounced freely in front of him, he finally started to undress. He didn't even register how fast he did it and a moment later he was jumping to go with her.

She had begun to swim lazily to the waterfall, and even if he was swimming as fast as he could to get to her, she passed it before he caught up and disappeared from his sight.

He moved even faster, if that was possible, swimming under the waterfall and appearing inside a cave. Once again he was completely mesmerized by the sight. The water appeared to be glowing under him, giving the place a natural light and making everything underwater completely visible. He spotted her a few feet ahead, with his back to him. He swam carefully and placed himself behind her, not touching yet. She could feel his breath tickling her ear, and couldn't help but lean back into him. She moaned at the glorious feeling of him naked against her back, and his hands that had encircled her waist quickly began to explore the rest of her body, making her squirm under his touch. When he couldn't take it anymore he turned her and crashed his mouth on hers in long and hungry kiss, only stopped by their moans of pleasure and the need to breathe.

After some time Fred pulled back to look at her in the eyes, asking her a question without words. She responded with a kiss, and a second later he stopped feeling water around them, shivering at the cold breeze of the cave.

"Did you think of everything?" He said with a smile when she rolled them so she was straddling him, making him get comfortable on the soft and blanket underneath them.

"Yes." She said as she leaned down to kiss his neck. "Everything." She insisted and he looked at her in the eyes, silently asking if she meant protection as well. She gave him a nod before resuming their kiss.

Their bodies joined moments later, and they achieved the ultimate state of bliss together.

When they were finished, Fred hugged her waist and rested his head on her chest, letting her massage his scalp softly with one hand, the other resting on his back.

"That was..." He began breathlessly.

"Amazing." She finished and smiled when he nodded.

"I can't compare it to anything else. I think I discovered the meaning of life while climaxing." She laughed loudly and he smiled.

"Climaxing is the meaning of life?" She asked and he shook his head.

"No, making love to you is." He answered honestly and she felt her eyes fill with tears. She pulled him completely on top of her and kissed him softly.

"I love you, Fred Weasley." She moaned out as he placed himself in her again and kissed her hungrily.

"And I love you."

From that moment Cassandra began to spend the night with Fred on his flat almost every day. But he understood that whenever Severus got a chance to visit her and Juliana, he was all she focused on. However, secretly he wished he could become part of that side of her life, but was still too scared to properly talk to Severus, so he kept postponing it, even if he knew that he wanted to share a family dinner with him.

That's why one night of May he found himself alone in his bed, not being able to sleep, missing the heat of Cassie's body next to his. She was coming back tomorrow, most likely, or the day after that at most, because Severus never stayed for too long with them. He sighed and turned around, hoping that if he stopped looking at the empty side of the bed sleep would finally come to him.

In Brazil Cassandra's mind was filled with thoughts of Fred like his mind was filled with thoughts of her, but for a very different reason. She looked at her parents sitting in front of her in the couch, and tried to gather the courage to speak.

"Dad..." She began and he looked at her, signaling her to go on. "Okay. Yes. Okay, I'm just going to say it." She rubbed her forehead and took a deep breath. "I'm in love with Fred Weasley, and before you say anything, yes I know you already know because I'm not really discreet about it, quite the opposite actually. I love him, and I want everyone who can know to be aware of it. Okay, that being said... um... if I ever lost him, I know I wouldn't be able to bear it. And especially if I lost him because he doesn't know the truth." She had been looking down the whole time and when she lifted her face to meet Severus' eyes, she found a blank stare she was hoping she wouldn't get. It meant she wasn't going to figure out what he would say. "So... yes, what I mean is that I want to tell him about... um... what you have to do."

"Cassandra..." He began but she interrupted him. If he said anything that could dampen her courage, she was never going to say what she wanted to.

"No, dad. Just wait. Let me say what I want to say before you say no." She bit her thumb and looked at him. "I need him to know the truth because I won't be able to live knowing that he hates me, and he hates you because of a lie. I won't. And especially not when you're doing it because he ordered you to. I need him to know the truth, dad. I can't keep this from him." She sighed. "But... of course that also means telling George, because one does not function without the other. I can't tell Fred something like this and expect him to keep him from George because that's not how things work. They both need to know. Dad, I swear I love him more than any other boy or man I've loved before. I need him to know. I need them both to know." She finished with a pleading tone.

He got up from his place on the couch without saying a word to her or her mother. Cassie looked at Juliana with a desperate look, hoping that she hadn't said something wrong and he was now angry at her. Juliana just shrugged, without giving her an answer. A few moments later he appeared on the room again, and she looked at him with tear filled eyes.

"Please, consider it." She pleaded with the strongest voice she could muster.

"There is nothing to consider, Cassandra." Severus answered emotionlessly and she felt the tears start to fall. She closed her eyes tightly and felt him grab her hand and place something cold on it. She opened her eyes in surprise and her eyes widened at the sight.

A small bottle with what appeared to be a bright mist inside. She knew instantly what it was. She looked up at him and felt her throat tighten.

"Dad..." She croaked out, hugging the bottle close to her heart. He hugged her and placed a kiss on top of her head.

"When it comes to your happiness, there is never anything to consider."

Jeez... is is too bad? I don't totally hate it BUT... I don't know about you. It's like 95% fluff and the rest is something that is going to lead to a big thing... I guess? I don't know. If you want to tell me what you think, please do.

It was never in my plans to update on April 1st in commemoration to the twins' birthday but as you can see, I included their birthday on this chapter as some tribute of sorts. So... yeah.
