Chapter 8: Would you?

Asheara woke up with weird noises again, but it didn't sound as though something was in wreck. But weird noises… Asheara stood up grumpily and said "Fred Weasley if you wreck my house again I—"

But before she could finish her last words, she saw something zooming in her face. Everything was flying and Fred was holding a long stick. Asheara's eyes were widened and looked at Fred who was wearing the expression of wild confusion. Then with a flick of the stick, the items were back to their proper place but a vase hit Asheara's head, with that Asheara passed out.

Back at the Grimmauld place, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley get themselves ready to look for Fred. Ron, Ginny, Hermione and George were grouped together to look for him also. They started at the place where they had seen him last. Then, taking a picture, they asked muggles if they had seen that person, though most of them say that they were pulling a prank on them. Because George was with them and Fred looked like him in the picture. So they have to explain first that George has lost his twin.

Asheara woke up in the couch; she opened her eyes and found Fred in front of her with a big grin on his face. "What—what happened?"

"Err… you actually slipped down and you got yourself hurt" Fred said.

"Oh… but I don't remember being tripped…" Asheara said frowning. Fred gazed at her.

"Oh no… you have amnesia!" Fred said in a mock worry. Asheara laughed.

"Okay, okay…" Asheara said. "Now, be a good boy, I'll make us something for breakfast before I go to see Dad"

"Can't I come with you?" Fred asked.

"No, you better stay here. You're not allowed to go out of the house without me saying so, because that would mean big trouble" Asheara said. Fred smiled widely. As he heard Asheara closed the gates, he immediate picks the stick he was holding earlier.

"This is… amazing" Fred said smiling at what he found. He was watching Cinderella earlier and he got the idea there. And he thought of something, the words 'wingardium leviosa' just came to his mind out of nowhere.

He must be something… someone who makes magic out of the so-called 'wand' of his. He tried to remember something, and then another caption came to his mind: A small house in the middle of grassland with a wide garden and pens for a couple of pigs and chickens. He tried to remember, then there were 8 figures there waving at him. The 7 of whom were faceless but one of them was him. Why would he wave at himself?

Without warning, another pain had seared his mind. Well, he couldn't remember who he was, but at least he's happy with Ashie. *smiles*

A couple of hours went by, Asheara just met with her Dad and told her to remain at home and to watch over Fred that he might attempt to get on his own again. So, Asheara was on her way home when she decided to stop by a fast food shop and ordered 2 boxes of pizza because she thought that Fred might like it.

Ron, George, and Hermione went to a stop as Ron tried to tie his shoes again. "You better hurry up or we'll cause traffic" George said grinning.

"This'll be in a bit." Ron said trying to make loops. Hermione watched Ron. George began to wander distance from them.

"George?" Hermione said looking at his direction.

"I'm here, just looking." George said.

"George look, that's the girl whom I see with Fred yesterday!" Hermione said pointing her finger at a short lady, carrying 2 boxes of pizza, making her way towards the street.

"Come on" George said.

"Wait! I haven't finished yet!" Ron cried. Hermione glanced at Ron who was now making the shoe lace tuck inside his shoes. As she glanced where George had gone, he vanished.

"Where's George…" Hermione hissed under her breath.

George was keeping distance away from Asheara so that she won't notice him. George followed her until they reached a house where Asheara opened the gates. George memorized the place and apparated back to the headquarters with a faint crack sound.

Asheara turned around for the source of the unusual sound she just heard and saw no one on the streets. As she opened the gate, she saw Fred waiting for her in the front door. He was smiling and went in front of her and bent down to kiss her forehead.

"Took you so long to get back, so I just waited in the front door" Fred said

"That's sweet of you" Asheara said. "Come on in; let's have some slices of pizza,"

"Pizza?" Fred asked following her inside the house.

George arrived at the quarters to find Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Sirius grouped in the dining table talking seriously. Ginny caught glimpse of him.

"George!" She cried "Where have you been? Hermione said you just disappeared."

"I followed the girl who searched for Fred that Hermione was talking about…" George said. "I haven't seen Fred though, but I'll go there at midnight to confirm"

"How?" Hermione said looking at him in her furrowed brows.

"Break inside their house, use disillusionment charm on my self" George said.

Fred was in his bedroom. He finished watching TV few minutes ago but he's still not drowsy. Asheara's in her room, apparently sleeping already. He didn't understand why he's restless. Then he heard it, something creaked on the halls of the rooms. Fred immediately stands up and got to the door. Only to find Asheara was in front of him

"A-Ashie! You scared me" Fred said holding his chest as though he could have a heart attack.

"Sorry" She muttered, but she was still gazing at his face. "Can I sleep with you?" Fred felt nervous on what she just said. He thought of something was going to happen, but snapped out of that thought.

"S-sure" Fred stammered as he gave way into his room.

Asheara went inside; Fred could say that she was nervous as he is. But he wasn't sure if that was her reason on why she had just gone in. She stared avidly at his sweaty face. And Fred felt as though the room had increased its heat. She just stared at him as though she wants something… to know something. Her searching look told him so.

"Fred… I want to ask you something" Asheara said and Fred nodded. "Would you stay with me even you got your memories back?" Asheara looked desperately at him. Fred doesn't know what to answer. Would he? Or wouldn't he… he wanted to know who he was, but couldn't risk losing Asheara. Why did he felt nervous when he thought memories of his family?

"Asheara… I…" Fred said Looked directly at Asheara's face. She was in tears… he couldn't bear to see her crying.

Fred went near Asheara and caressed her face. She was now sobbing. He felt his face near hers that he could see those beautiful long lashes near his and he could felt her sharp breath breezed against his face. Right then, he could feel the warmth of her lips on his. He gently caressed hi hands on her back and felt that she was shaking.

Asheara hung both of her arms around Fred's neck, the overwhelmed force of his kiss made her felt so happy that she would just give Fred everything not to leave her. Fred pulled her backwards and felt each other's body on a welcoming bed.

Hours had passed it seemed so… Fred got up first, he felt disoriented from what happened to him previously. Then he felt someone breathing near him and saw Asheara's arm over his chest. Then he just realized what just happened, he felt dazed. He looked at the digital clock on the bedside cabinet… 5 am… too early to get up, and too late to go back to sleep.

He decided to prepare breakfast for his Ashie, so carefully; he broke free from her embrace so she won't be disturbed. He pulled the covers upwards to cover Asheara's bare chest that her cleavage showed. Fred got dressed and went downstairs to prepare breakfast. But as he was just going to the kitchen,

"Nice scene last night" Says a horribly familiar voice. Fred wheeled around and saw his reflection smiling at him. Or was it his reflection? Then it occurred to him, he wasn't staring at the mirror.
