Saturday July 28th
2 weeks and 1 day has passed since the Fred incident and I have barely come out of my room. Today Harry really wants me to come to Diagon Alley with him to get some last minute school bits but I am dreading it. He walked into my room at 11 am this morning.
"Hey Indina." He said.
"Hey Harry." I croaked, my voice like this from crying.
"You still coming today?"
"No."
"Yes you are. Come on, I know how you feel, I was like it with Ginny but you need to get out of bed."
"Ginny didn't tell one of her siblings that there was too much commitment in the relationship even when we had only been on a few dates and he was the one that wanted it to be exclusive. She also didn't tell them that he was glad you weren't moving in there and that he was glad it was just them two."
"I know she didn't but you need to get out of bed."
"I've been out of bed."
"Up! Now. We're leaving in half an hour."
He walked out of my bedroom and I rolled over, a few tears dripping down my face. I sniffed before dragging myself out of bed and into my bathroom. I had a 5 minute shower, just washing my body before getting out. I put on some black and pink shorts with a black vest top and pink flip flops before chucking my hair into a ponytail before dragging myself out of my bedroom and downstairs.
"Morning Indie, you want some breakfast?" Mum asked me as I walked into the living room.
"No thank you." I muttered.
I plonked down on the sofa and put my head on my mums shoulder. She kissed me on top of the head and then Harry came in from the kitchen.
"Come on then sis."
I huffed and got up from my comfortable seat on the couch and walked over to Harry who was by the front door.
"See you a bit later on." Harry said.
We then left the house. Every day since what happened Fred has come to the house, begging for me to tell him what he did. He knows exactly what he did. Half way to town I saw Alicia and she saw me before walking over to me.
"Hey Indina, how's the shop been recently?" She asked.
"I haven't been there, why haven't you been there?" I asked her.
"George and I broke up, maybe I asked too much of him for me to live with him and you guys in the joke shop, my home life is just really crap I guess."
I can't believe she suggested moving in here, why I said yes I don't know, I'm glad we sorted things out and I said it is too much, she agreed even though I could see she didn't mean it.
That is what Fred said to George. Or George said to Fred. Crap! What a fucking idiot! It was George talking to Fred, not the other way around. I was a bit confused as well because they suggested moving in and I said it was too much, not the other way around. Well now I feel like an idiot.
"Oh no." I muttered.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked me.
"I need to go and do something real quick. Alicia, meet me at the Leaky Cauldron in one hour and we can talk." I said.
I raced off before any of them could say anything and within 5 minutes I was outside the joke shop. I didn't want to apparate. I went through the front door, the shop full to the brim. I made my way through and I saw a very glum looking Fred at the cash register. Before I could approach him my arm was dragged away. Once we stopped I looked to see George Weasley.
"George -."
"Indina, what has been going on? We have been trying so hard to get you to talk to us. Fred has been in bits." George said.
"I'm so sorry. I overheard you guys talking the night I left, you was on about Alicia."
"Oh no, crap! How could you think that was Fred?"
"I wasn't sure. It had been a busy day and I bent down to pick up some money off the floor because I thought it was yours and I overheard before I could stop myself."
"You are one of the people that can tell us apart."
"I know but I was hot from all the stuff we had done and upset as soon as I heard it. Please move though, I need to go and talk to Fred."
He nodded and I moved away from here and barged my way through the crowd, George following behind me. I stopped when I got behind the counter.
"Fred, someone is here to see you." George said from behind me.
Fred looked up and as soon as his eyes met mine they lit up. He jumped up from the stool he was on.
"Why have you been ignoring me?" He asked.
"Go and talk upstairs. Lee and I can keep down here covered." George said.
I held his hand and pulled him with me upstairs. As soon as we got up there we walked into the living room.
"Fred just listen to me. When I went downstairs to lock up, once I came back up there was a galleon on the floor. I picked it up, thinking it might have been yours or George's and then when I was down there I heard you talking about Alicia. I thought it was you talking to George about me." I said.
"I would never say anything like that about you Dina." Fred said.
"Well I know that now, I bumped into Alicia on my way here and she said that she had asked George to move into your apartment and it just made sense to me. I will never do anything like that again I promise."
He smiled at me and pulled me into him. Our lips, nice and slowly, glided against each others. After about 10 seconds or so we broke apart.
"Can I stay here tonight?" I asked him.
"You can stay here whenever you want."
I smiled at him and hugged him, just enjoying his strong embrace. I think I'm definitely falling in love with Fred Weasley, and I couldn't be happier about it.
Authors Note - Sorry about the shortness guys, I've just started my new job and I am so rushed off my feet it is unbelievable. But I will be updating within the next week I promise!
