Chapter 12- Alicia and Fred

Alicia sighed as she locked the door to Quality Quidditch with a wave of her wand. It was after 10 pm and she had finally finished.

She shook her head as she stepped away from the shop. She was tired, and didn't really feel like going to The Leaky Cauldron to grab something to eat.

"I'll grab something when I get home," she murmured to herself. With that she waved her wand and disappeared with a "pop".

Alicia appeared outside the apartment she shared with Fred. She pulled her keys out of her robe pocket and put them into the lock. She turned the key and handle, pushing with her shoulder against the door.

When she entered the flat, she found that the lights were off.

"Fred must have gone to bed." She thought sadly. She had hoped that she would at least get to see him tonight. She felt horrible about missing his special dinner.

She closed the door quietly, locked and chained it. She walked deeper into the apartment heading for the kitchen to make a sandwich. But as she passed the living room, a warm light caught her eye and she stopped.

When she turned, she found that a blanket was set on the floor. Puzzled, she stepped into the room. Now she could see that the blanket was spread between the fireplace and the coffee table. The fire was lit and giving off a warm glow as well as heat. Two candlesticks gave light on to two champagne glasses, two plates and forks, and a scrumptious looking tart.

She smiled wide. "Fred?" She called stepping back into the entrance hall to head for the kitchen to find him.

At that moment, Fred stepped out of the kitchen with an open bottle of champagne. "Alicia," he exclaimed walking toward her. "You made it home." He gave her a welcome kiss then proceeded into the living room. Alicia followed after him.

"Freddy what is this?" she asked coming up to stand next to him as he leaned over and poured champagne into each glass.

Fred smiled as he stood up, handing her a glass. "It's our candle lit special dessert instead of dinner." He replied as he grabbed the other glass and sat down on the blanket. Alicia looked down at him. He reached up and took her free hand. "Sit," he directed and she sat down next to him on the blanket.

Alicia continued to look at him. Fred smiled and raised his glass. "A toast to us. May every obstacle we come across be nothing more then a small hurdle," he said tipping her glass toward Alicia's. She smiled and tapped her glass against his. With that, they both took a drink.

"I thought you would be in bed. Not to mention mad at me for missing your special dinner." Alicia said lowering her glass to her lap.

Fred put down his glass on to the coffee table and took Alicia's hand with both of his. "I'm not mad at you Alicia. I know how Joel is and I know how badly you want to own your own shop. I also understand that no matter how many times I offer you money to start up your shop, you won't take it. You want to do it on your own." Fred said scooting closer to her. He took the glass out of her hand and set it on the table next to his. "I was disappointed to get your letter saying you weren't going to make it but I came up with a romantic dessert indoor picnic instead. I could never be made at you Aly girl."

Alicia smiled. "Oh Freddy, you are too good to me," she said as she slipped a hand from his and touched his cheek tenderly. She leaned in and gave him a kiss. Fred smiled and kissed her in return.

They parted when Alicia's stomach rumbled. They both laughed. Fred let go of Alicia's hands and smiled at her. "Would you care for some peach and raspberry tart?" He offered as he cut the tart with a knife. Alicia smiled and nodded.

As Fred served up the tart, Alicia piled up pillows behind her back. When she was settled, Fred handed her a plate and fork and sat down next to her with a plate of his own.

As soon as Alicia took a bite of the tart, her taste buds were in heaven. "Mmmm… Fred this is delicious. I'm so sorry I missed out on the rest of dinner. I bet it was even more delicious then this." Alicia said, taking another bite.

Fred grinned slyly. "Well you didn't miss it. I saved it all for tomorrow night so you'll still get to taste it," he said. Alicia smiled and slapped his knee playfully. Then her face became serious.

"Thank you Fred. For cleaning the flat, for trying to make me a wonderful dinner, for loving me and caring about me." She paused a moment and waited for Fred to finish the bite he was chewing. "I love you Fred, with all my heart." She looked up into his eyes.

Fred looked back into Alicia's eyes and put down his fork. "Alicia you mean the world to me. Everything I do for you I do because I love you, without ever wanting a thanks. Or even needing one. The love I know you have for me is enough." Fred declared. He leaned in and kissed her tenderly on the lips. "I love you Alicia."

After another tender kiss they finished their pieces of tart. Fred grabbed another blanket and they laid down on the floor in front of the fire. Alicia rested her head in the crook of Fred's arm and together they just watched the flames of the fire and the shadows they were making ont the back of the fireplace and the walls.

Suddenly Fred jumped.

"What is it?" Alicia asked looking over at him.

Fred stuck his hand into the pocket of his robes and pulled out an envelope. "I have something for you," he said handing Alicia her present. Alicia took the envelope and sat up. She looked from Fred to the present, a questioning look on her face.

"What is it?"

Fred grinned devilishly. "Open it."

Alicia eyed him for another moment then broke the seal on the envelope. She pulled out the folded piece of paper. Fred lay there with his hands folded on his stomach as he watched her unfold the paper.

Alicia opened the piece of paper and began to read. "Official Lease for the property at number ninety- eight, Diagon Alley. This property…" Alicia's jaw dropped as she skimmed the rest of the parchment. When she finished she looked at Fred, speechless.

Fred smiled up at her. "And you can't give it back. It was a gift. It's rude to return a gift," he said smartly. Then his face became serious. "Aly I know you didn't want my money to do this but I want you to stop working at Quality for that arse of a man Joel. Now you can use the money you've been saving up to outfit the store and open it."

"But Fred…"

Fred stopped her. "If you feel that bad about it you can pay be back after your shop gets going. But I won't have you working another day under the management of that uncaring jerk." Fred declared as he sat up on his elbows.

Alicia stared into his eyes for a moment. Then she smiled and kissed Fred. Fred fell back against the floor and Alicia climbed on top of him and straddled his waist with her knees, kissing him harder.

Finally she broke the kiss and thanked him. "Fred Weasley, I love you with all my heart and thank you so much for this. It means so much to me."

Fred smiled at her. "I love you too. And I was really enjoying your thanks. You wouldn't mind continuing, would you?" he asked with a naughty gleam in his eye.

Alicia threw back her head and laughed. Then she looked down at Fred. "No," she said holding back a smile and a laugh.

"No?" Fred repeated. "Well I might just have to make you." And with that he slid his hands up to Alicia's waist and began to tickle. Alicia jumped and fell down against his chest as she laughed. He stopped tickling her and she smiled at him.

"Kiss me Freddy." She demanded. And that's exactly what he did.
