Tuesday July 31st
I woke up to the sound of pots and pans clattering. I opened my eyes and checked the time on the clock. 9:47. Ugh! Then I remembered what day it was today. Harry's birthday! I swung my legs of the end of my bed and walked downstairs and into the kitchen. Mum was there making something over the oven.
"What you making mum?" I asked her.
She jumped at the sound of my voice and turned around, obviously startled.
"Oh Indina, I didn't see you there."
"Well yeah you had your back turned." I laughed.
"Haha. But I'm making chocolate chip pancakes, Harry's favourite." She told me.
"Ooh very nice. Where is Harry? Still in bed?"
"No you're dad and Sirius are helping him choose an outfit for today. As you know Ginny and everyone else are celebrating with us."
"I do know that. I cannot believe Harry is 19."
"Me either. I'm surprised that all he wants to do is take a trip to Diagon Alley and spend the rest of the day with a picnic at the Weasleys though. But they're lovely people."
"They are. I like them all a lot. But he doesn't know about the party though, he will love it."
"He will love it. How are you and Fred?"
"We're really good. He makes me so happy mum."
"I'm glad hunny. Do you love him?"
"I think so, yeah. Are we still doing fireworks tonight?"
"Yeah, Harry wants to."
"Good. I'm going to get ready."
"Okay hunny."
I ran upstairs into my bedroom and opened up my wardrobe. I picked out a light pink thin strapped thigh length dress which had layers on it. I got out some matching colored underwear and then put them on my bed whilst I had a shower. I washed my hair and body, shaving everywhere. Once I was out I used a spell to dry my hair and then it was it's curly, bouncy self. I put on my outfit and then put on some light mascara and lip gloss. I then heard the door go. People are here!
Fred, George, Ginny, Hermione and Ron are coming shopping with Harry and me whilst mum, dad, Molly, Arthur, Bill, Charlie and Sirius help set up for the surprise party. Quiet a few people are coming, obviously us lot then Fleur, Remus, Tonks, Percy is even making an appearance, a lot of Harry's friends from school. It is going to be a good party. I walked down the stairs and everyone was stood in the living room by the front door.
"Hey guys." I said as I walked down the stairs.
"Hey Indie." Everyone but Fred said.
"Hey Dina." Fred said. "You look beautiful." He added.
I blushed and looked down at my feet. Damn blushing. I looked back up and smiled at him as I reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Thank you. You look beautiful too." I joked.
"I know I do" He laughed.
I patted his chest as he held my hand. He makes me so happy. I love him, I really do. Harry then walked downstairs looking very nice. He greeted us and then we all piled into the kitchen and took some pancakes off my mum. After we had all eaten, she made a lot, enough for everyone, we all then left the house and headed into town.
TIME SKIP... 3 HOURS LATER... 1:30 PM...
"I think we're done guys. Should we head to the burrow?" Harry asked everyone.
"Let's go get some ice cream first and then we can go to the burrow." I said.
"It's a plan." Ginny said.
We then headed to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. Once we got there everyone ordered their ice creams.
"Can I have a strawberry and vanilla 2 scoop ice cream please with strawberry sauce and sprinkles please." I said.
"Certainly ma'am."
"And can I have a 2 scoop chocolate ice cream with brownie flavoured sauce and chopped nuts please." Fred said.
I got my purse out of my bag but by the time I got the money out Fred had already passed over 1 galleon. Mr Fortescue handed him some change and then went about making our ice creams.
"What the hell was that?" I asked Fred.
"What?" Fred asked, totally oblivious.
"Why did you pay for my ice cream. I can buy stuff whilst we're together you know."
"I know you can, but I can also treat my girlfriend to an ice cream which barely cost anything."
"Next time we come here, I'm buying."
"Okay then."
He smiled at me and linked his hand with mine. I came up closer to him and snuggled into his side whilst we waited for our ice cream. A minute later we had them and we sat inside with everyone else.
"I can't believe you're 19 Harry." I said.
"Me either, time has gone so fast since the war ended." Ginny said.
"It really has, but at the same time so much has happened." Harry said, smiling and looking down at Ginny and then at the rest of us. "I never thought in a million years that I'd have my family back."
"It is surreal, but everything happens for a reason right." Fred said.
"Definitely. I cannot believe it has been what 13 weeks tomorrow that the war ended." Hermione said.
"It is 13 weeks tomorrow." I said.
"No more dark times. But it's Harry's birthday, we don't need to talk about that." Ginny said.
"We don't. So let's all finish our ice creams and head back to the burrow.
We all agreed and then made small talk as we all ate our ice creams. 10 minutes later we left the ice cream parlour and then we apparated outside of the burrow. Since people can apparate in and out now we don't end up all the way out in the water. We walked up to it, since we was still a tiny bit back. Everything looked normal, but then we walked through the barrier and everything came into sight.
"SURPRISE."
Everyone jumped out from their hiding places. I looked at Harry and he looked so shocked, but a wide grin soon made it's way across his face. Good! He was happy about this. I knew he would be.
TIME SKIP... 1 HOUR LATER... 3:00 PM...
By now the party was in full swing. There was a small quantity of alcohol but not much, it was nice to just spend some time together really.
"Hey Tonks. How's Teddy?" I asked Tonks.
"Teddy is good. He's 14 weeks now, time is going by so fast. He is so clever. I'm thinking about naming Harry godfather."
"Wow that's a great idea. Harry would love that."
"I think he will too. Remus and I are going to ask him today."
"That is an amazing idea. You should bring Teddy round one day, he would love it, or I can come over to you. I love babies."
"You want kids of your own?"
"Yeah eventually. There's no rush though."
"Little Weasley and Potter babies." She joked.
"No, definitely not."
"You don't want kids with Fred?"
"I don't want kids with anyone. We've only really been together for a few days."
"I thought you got together in June?"
"Something happened, a misunderstanding, the down fall of Fred being a twin, and I didn't speak to him for a while, and then we made up 3 days ago, we're starting fresh."
"Oh dear, let me guess. George said something about his girlfriend and you thought it was Fred that said it."
"You've got it. But we're fine now, and we're starting again."
"At least you're on the straight and narrow now."
"Definitely."
"Remus and I went through some rough patches when we was getting together, but I wouldn't change my little family for the world. Remus and Teddy mean everything to me."
"That's sweet, I can only imagine how happy you are."
She smiled at me.
"Bang." I heard in my ear.
I jumped out of my skin and spun around to see George absolutely pissing himself.
"George." I shouted. "You douche."
"Chill out Indie, it's just a scare." He laughed.
I hit him on the chest jokingly and then turned away from him and walked away. He is such an idiot. But I love him like another brother. I walked up to Fred who was laughing as well.
"You're idiots." I said.
"You should have seen yourself." Fred laughed.
I turned away from him and walked away. I'm not annoyed, I'm just messing about. I felt my feet come of my floor and I was swung onto someone shoulder.
"Put me down." I shouted.
Everyone was laughing and Fred was the only person I couldn't see. And I could tell from the feel of his body that this was Fred.
"Fred put me down."
He was running off away from everyone and I couldn't even see them once we came to a stop. The last I saw of everyone though they were getting back to the party. Fred turned round a corner. The burrow is a big place, the fields surrounding it are massive. He then put my down on some grass behind a brick wall.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Getting you to myself so I can do this."
He pressed his lips to mine and I smiled as I kissed him back. We haven't spent some time together in a few days and I've missed this. He pulled away.
"I feel better now." Fred said.
"We're not done yet."
He smiled as I crawled onto his lap and then we started making out. My hands were on the ground keeping myself up and then his hands started to roam. They were on my butt and they went up onto my hips and then they were in my hair. I put my hands on his chest and then they went under his top. I could feel his abs as I pulled away.
"Maybe we should slow down." I said.
"You're right. We've been out here for almost 15 minutes, we should head back." Fred said.
I composed myself the best I could as did Fred and then we walked back to the party together.
TIME SKIP... 5 HOURS LATER... 8:30...
"Should we do the fireworks now?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah." Harry said.
Fred and George set up their Fireworks as everyone sat down on the ground. Fred sat with me and we were a good distance from everyone else. Everyone was spread out. The fireworks started and they read Happy Birthday Harry and some were just normal. We sat there just enjoying them. I was sat in between Fred's legs and I was leaning against him and his arms were dangling down from my shoulders.
"This is nice. It's been the perfect day." I said.
"It really has, I have something that I hope is going to make it even better." Fred said.
I turned my head to look at him and he looked slightly nervous but pretty chilled out.
"Oh and what might that be?" I asked.
"Just 3 simple words."
"... Okay, just say them."
Is he really going to say it? He took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
"I love you."
A huge smile spread across my face as I turned around properly to face him. I pulled him in for a kiss which lasted for a few seconds and then I pulled away.
"I love you too."
