"Katie,
baby, wake up! Please babe." My saviour's voice sounded out
through my head. I could hear voices.
"A condom! My God those
dicks!" Bill exclaimed. I could hear mumbled agreements.
"Nice choice of words." Fred seethed, well I pictured him seething.
"Good God! What are they playing at?" Arthur said. I could just see him scratching his head out of anger, but I couldn't actually see him given that I was unconscious.
This little 'present' has spurred a lot of questions in my currently knocked out state. Did I want to sleep with Fred? Yes, I love him. Was I ready to? No, I still felt to young and my past with Voldmort was blocking me from feeling ready. I wasn't ready, even thought I wanted it, my mind just needed time. Besides, I was to young anyway. The legal age in the Wizarding World is 16 and I didn't turn 16 for another six months!
"Slap her." I heard someone say. Who was that?
"You are so insensitive Ronald!" Hermione shrieked. Ron? Yeah, sounded about right.
"Hey now I was just trying to help." I heard him defend.
"No! You just want to open up the presents!" Bill growled.
"Still say slap her." Ron mumbled under his breath. OK, that's it. That's enough. I wrenched my eyes open.
"Slap him." I muttered. Lupin obliged with a whack around the back of Ron's head.
"Thanks." I mumbled while Fred was helping me up.
"Any time." He winked.
Fred helped me back to the kitchen where Molly fussed over Mundy and I. Mundy was awake and grinned lightly at me.
"They get you to, eh?" he smiled.
"Nah, I blacked out." I grinned in return.
"Oh how very womanly of you." He scoffed.
"She's Fred's woman though." Bill piped up, earning a few laughs from the crowd. The atmosphere was lightening up pretty quickly. I think everyone just wanted their Christmas to get back on track.
"Breakfast, anyone?" Hermione asked, winking at me. Thank god for Hermione!
"Yeah I'm starved." Ron said, patting his stomach.
"Nothing's changed you moron." George said to him.
All of the bantering stopped once the breakfast was served. Molly was a really good cook. Well, other than myself of course but still, she was excellent and I guess you would have to be when you had Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron... oh my lord, that poor, poor woman.

How did I end up in this situation. In front of me was Sirius, Lupin, Bill, Percy, Charlie, Harry, Ron and dad. I was seated in a small chair in the corner of Sirius' family tree room and I was currently next to the face of Lucius Malfoy. Oh the irony. The others were all standing above me (well, dad was sitting in his wheelchair) with gravely, serious faces.
What the bloody hell could they want? Oh yeah, that's right, they think that I've taken away Katie's virginity. Oh yeah, that's how.
Oh God, if you're looking upon me now, or even if you're not! Please have mercy upon me! I don't deserve to die yet.
"So, I think we need to talk about what happened this morning." Lupin said, clearing his throat.
"Yes, we do." Sirius said coldly. He was mad. Fuming mad. I was a dead man.
"Look, it's not what it looks like." I said, holding up my hands in surrender.
"Son," my dad started, this was just getting worse and worse. "All we need to know is whether or not you've slept with her. Its important that we know." Dad sounded so serious. Was there something going on that I didn't know about? Hang on, there was always something going on that I didn't know about, so that didn't count.
"Katie's probably going through the same thing from the girls, if that makes you feel any better." George said. That twin thing really came in handy. I wish Katie could have something like that for her. A twin would be nice for her. It would have to be a brother though; I couldn't see her with a twin sister.
"Dumbledore's on his way to." Percy grinned at me. He was enjoying this! That sick little twit! I'll kill him, first chance I get, I'll kill him.
"So, have you?" Sirius said. Of course, straight back on to the embarrassing bits. I took big, deep breaths before answering. Why was I so nervous? I mean we hadn't done anything past first base! She's only fifteen for Christ's sake! I am nearly seventeen and so I was a hormonal bastard who just wanted to be alone with Katie all the time, but it wasn't only for the physical parts of our relationship (but I must say that I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't a major motive) but also the emotional side. I loved who she made me feel. How she could just make me feel so alive and happy. She was my Sun and I hoped that I was something along those lines to her. However, she had told me once that I was her life. I suppose that was much better than being her sun. God, I love her.
"No, we haven't slept together, in fact we haven't even gone past first base. There you happy now." I said flatly. Sirius let out a long breath. He had been thinking the opposite. I looked around. My dad had the same relieved look on his face as well, as did Lupin! Great, fantastic to know that they have so much faith in me.
"Yes, we are." Ron spoke at last.
"If you don't mind my asking," I began slowly, I had to know if they would answer and the best chance I would get would be if I was nice and polite. The others looked down at me expectantly. "Why is it a big deal if I slept with Katie, I mean not now obviously. She is only fifteen but later, down the track. Would it be OK then?" I braced myself for the blinding fury that would surely be the response to my question. After a whole two minutes of silence I looked up.
They were all there. Looking at me with blank faces, they looked completely and utterly shocked.
"What?" I asked. Why weren't they yelling at me?
"I think, son, that we don't know how to answer it." Dad said slowly. I pitied my old man. Poor guy. Its probably very very very disturbing to be discussing your son's potential sex life, especially in front of others and other most definitely sexually active sons (*cough cough* Bill and Charlie *couch cough*).
"I was simply wondering." I shrugged. Perhaps I could afford that little movement without Sirius killing me.
"Whatever you and Katie are willing, happy and certain with your choice then we would have no objections, oh yes and you would have to be above sixteen." An old and wise voice sounded from behind me. Dumbledore. Great.
"WHAT!" Sirius roared. "This is my goddaughter here! You can't say that. I'm the closest thing to a father she's got!"
"Dumbledore is as much of a father to me as you are Sirius." My angel was here. Thank the heavens. Oh no, how much has she heard? Has she heard my question? Crap! If she has then I'm almost certainly tomorrow's main course. Roast a'la Fred has a nice ring to it.
"Katie?" Harry piped up. I had almost forgotten he was here.
"Yeah, that's me last time I checked." Katie chuckled to herself.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't mum have kept you in with her little... talk?" George asked, clearly confused.
"I
managed to get myself out of it." She shrugged. She winked at me.
"Well, I don't really think that this is any of your business
and yes Sirius I know, if my dad were here then he would most likely
give me this talk but I would like to think that he would have done
it a while back alongside my mother. Yes Lupin, I also know that
you're just trying to protect me here. I don't need it. I am not
a baby anymore. I think that ship has sailed well and truly. So, if
you'll excuse me then I think that Fred and I have a talk of our
own to conduct." And with that she grabbed my arm and we both ran
out of that room but not before hearing,
"Just make sure talking is all you do." Bill. Dead. Man.
"We'll try, if Fred can keep his hand off of me!" Katie yelled back cheekily. Great. Forget tomorrow, Roast a'la Fred is on the menu tonight.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Hold on!" she giggled.
And we disappeared.
YPOV (Yelo's POV)
Those bastards. How the hell could they have done such a thing? Oh yeah, that's right. They're bloody death eaters. This is just when you start to think to yourself why Katie??
Katie is such a good person, and how the hell did she have to become Mariam's Heiress. I had asked this question before and no one had ever seemed to be able to answer me. But, I mean, what answer am I looking for? But the thing is that soon, Fred and George are going to graduate and soon, they're going to find out Katie's secret. I just cannot see how she's going to get herself out of it. If you look closely, Katie has spent the majority of her relationship with Fred, hiding her past. Not so much when they were younger but a fair bit lately. Fred is going to want answers and he is going to want them very, very soon. And I hate to say it, but as soon as Fred finds out probably the whole bloody crowd are going to find out and also, there is always the possibility that he is going to break up with her. And I don't want to tell Katie this because she already has enough on her plate.

We were on the cliffs. Actually to be precise we were on the Cliffs of bloody Dover!
"This is where I come to relax. Other than my kitchen of course." She smirked.
"Do you like to think here as well?" I asked. Where was she going with this?
"Yes. I do." She said simply. She took my hand and held it to her face and sighed. Her eyes were closed and she was smiling but when she opened up her eyes her eyes were filled with tears.
"What's wrong?" I asked softly
"I don't want to lose you." She whispered. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Where has this come from?
"You won't lose me babe. I'll always be here for you." I pulled her into a hug and she just started sobbing more.
"I'm....s-s-sooooo.... sorry for....r-ruining.....y-yo-your Christmas...Fred!" She said in between her cries.
"You haven't actually, this has been one of the most interesting Christmases in years." I spoke the truth.
"R-really?" she looked up and I saw how vulnerable she was. She was only fifteen years old. She was scared deep down, not that she would ever admit it. But she was. She was my girl though, and I would protect her.
"Would I lie to you?" I asked. She pretended to think about it for a moment and I knew that I had made her happy, just for a little while. The thought made my heart fly at a million miles an hour.
"Depends on the situation but I can tell that you are telling me the truth now." Katie smiled. My angel smiled.
"Should we go back? I am pretty sure that presents are meant to be opened on Christmas Day?" I asked.
"Wait. We have to talk about something first." She said. Shit. That was never a good thing.
"Hit
me with it." I said, trying to act confident. She paused for a
moment, as if trying word whatever she wanted to say correctly.
"I
want to wait." She said finally.
"Sorry?" I asked. This was
confusing. I mean, she wouldn't be talking about this morning would
she? I wanted to wait. Well, my body didn't but my head did.
"I am not physically or emotionally ready yet so I want to wait before I sleep with you." She said. She was having as much difficulty with this as I was.
"I want to wait to." I replied. Her face took on a look of rejection. Oh shit. Dad had told me that girls were emotional when it came to this.
"Do you not find me attractive?" she asked.
"No, no, no! I do, but you're too young and I want it to be special and in order for it to be special I want us to both be ready."
"Are you ready Fred?" she asked sceptically.
"I'm not sure. My body is telling me to go for it and my mind is saying no. I don't think that either of us are ready." I said honestly. She laughed. It was so carefree that I couldn't help laugh as well.
"Oh Fred!" she exclaimed. "I am so glad to hear you say that! Now, I know we're on the same page." She hugged me all the tighter and nestled her head in my chest as I buried my head in her hair. It smelt of flowers. Wildflowers. I loved it about her. I loved everything about her.

As I stood there, I realised something. Fred and I were in love and we had pretty similar views and ideas. Fred was the fun and energetic one. He and George were like our clowns. Our lovable funny clowns, they were our weapons of laughter. They could lighten up a room even in the most dire of situations. But underneath Fred, was a serious side to him in which he was a bit shy and innocent. He was a very complex person who only I could figure out entirely, well, other than his twin brother.
Meanwhile, I was the exact opposite. I only let my fun side out in the open with those I trust and love. On the outside I could appear serious and down to earth whilst my head was really up in the clouds, dreaming of a better life. Or my future which included Fred as my husband and our six children surrounding us with Harry as their uncle and all of the Weasley's there as their aunts and uncles. Hermione was in the picture, married to Ron with their two kids and harry was married to a woman, who was so far, faceless and of course Yelo and George were there with their five stormers.
Fred and I completed each other and at that moment, when we were hugging on the White cliffs of Dover. I knew that we could handle anything that came our way. I was pretty sure that when the time came, Fred would could even handle who I really was.
OK, that's Chapter 29. I hope that you enjoy it and that you are not angry at me for how things are turning out.
Now, the drama is going to be happening within the next 2 or 3 chapters so don't worry. Also, I am very happy that more readers are coming on board and thankyou to all of those favourite stories and favourite authors that I'm getting. Also to all of the alerts that people are putting KJP on. I am incredibly grateful to you all.
Please review! They make my day!
