We decide that Uncle Fred will stay with us for the first couple of nights. Well, we didn't decide it. It was more of a universal, 'George needs this more than we do right now' thing from everyone collectively. But there are plans for Uncle Fred to spend a couple of days at everyone's house ending at Nan and Pop's place.

"So Theseus, how about you decide what we get to eat for dinner eh?" Dad says from the driver's seat of our van.

Theseus looks at me. I nod and he responds to Dad, "If it's all the same with you, Mister Weasley, I think that the other Mister Weasley should get to decide. It is his first meal back and all."

Dad looks through the rear-view mirror at Theseus and smiles. Theseus may not know it but he just earned some serious points with Dad.

"Don't for a second think that bringing Fred home is going to change the fact that you turned yourself into an illegal animagus Ophelia," Mum says from the passenger seat.

Ophelia scoffs, "Are you mental? Fred Weasley is alive again and you're going to punish me for doing it!?"

"Oi, you leave Fred Weasley out of this. I'm just the innocent third party." Uncle Fred says from his seat beside Ophelia.

"Didn't look too innocent when you were snogging Auntie Em's face off," Theo says.

Mum, Dad, and Uncle Fred burst into laughter, "Yeah Freddie, didn't take you very long to get reacquainted with Emma." Dad says.

Uncle Fred laughs, "I'd like to see you go twenty-something years without..."

"My children are in this car, Fred," Mum says.

Uncle Fred laughs, "Right well you get what I'm saying. You wouldn't have waited a single second. You're lucky you got a hug first eh G?" Uncle Fred reaches forward and squeezes Dad's shoulders, "How'd you even learn how to drive one of these things? Bloody wicked."

Dad, who's holding Mum's hand like he always does when he drives, brings Mum's hand to his mouth and kisses it softly, "Easy to learn when you have a teacher like this one screaming instructions at you from the passenger seat."

"Oi fuck you!"

"Mumma watch your language!" Annie says from beside me.

Mum laughs, "Yes, yes okay. Fred, what do you want for dinner hm?"

"Literally just food Vi. I haven't had any in years."

When we get back to the flat Dad and Uncle Fred decide to take a walk as the rest of us gather our things and drag them up the back stairs.

"Theseus darling you can bring your things into... Christ, we have so many people here. You can bring your things into Freddie's room. He doesn't get back till tomorrow, and then we can set up a cot in there for you. Cassie be a good host and show him?" Mum says.

"Yeah Mumma," I say. Theo, Annie, and Ophelia all drop their stuff in their rooms and close the door behind them.

"So my room is here," I say opening the door and shoving my trunk and other bags into my room before closing the door again. "And Freddie's is down here," I say walking down the small corridor to Freddie's room.

I open the door and Theseus follows in behind me. I turn around and look at him, "It's not much, but Dad never wanted to live away from the shop so..." I shrug my shoulders.

Theseus looks around Freddie's room. He's still got a bunch of stuff all over his walls and in his bookshelves. He didn't see the point of bringing anything but his clothes with him when he went off to travel the world. He's in a new country like every other month so it doesn't make sense to bring everything with him.
