a/n; ahaha, following the theme of the last chapter, Ron talks to his son. hehe, i'm evil. :D

chapter six; F is for Freaking Out

"Come in," A male voice called from behind a closed door. Ron hesitated before turning the handle and sticking his head in. "Oh, hey Dad."

"Hey, champ. Can I talk to you for a second?" Hugo looked up from his school yearbook and smiled.

"Since when do you ask permission to talk?" He chuckled, but his dad's face remained sombre. Hugo slowly felt unease creeping up on him. "Dad, did anyone die?"

Ron closed the door and sat down beisde his son on the navy bedspread, wondering how to approach the topic.

"No, son. Er...I had a - chat - with your sister yesterday, and...uh..." In Hugo's impatience, the yearbook slipped out of his grasp and onto the floor.

Ron saw a huge heart drawn around one of the girls in the book. He grinned and picked it up, despite Hugo's futile attempts to keep it out of his dad's grasp.

And - hang on - there wasn't only a heart in his fifteen-year-old's yearbook, there was writing, too.

"Dad, give it back - !" But it was in vain that Hugo continued jumping for the book, as his father had got up and, being several heads taller, kept it out of reach.

"Let me just see what this pretty girl wrote to my boy, huh?" Hugo groaned and flopped onto his bed, pulling his pillow over his head. "Kyla Goldstein? Hey, I knew her father!"

"Surprise, surprise." A mutter came from Hugo's direction. Ron scowled at his son's sudden attitude, and registered the words inside the heart.

Hugo,

I love you so much,

and I'm so glad we

shared that together.

I would much rather

it be you then, say,

Lorcan Scamandar.

Isn't he seeing your

cousin? Anyway, I

love you, I hope you

dream of me!

XOXO Kyla

Ron's brain seemed to numb as he read the short entry. "Hugo?"

"Mmm?"

Silence. "What did you share with this girl?"

"Uhhh..."

You have got to be kidding me!

a/n; hehe, sorry, but this IS in the future, and Hugo IS 15, it makes sense, so :P two reviews or you won't get the next two chapters! ;P
