Arrangements | | Fred Weasley

•Part two

After you had showered, you grabbed your wand and used a spell to blow-dry and straighten your hair without all of the effort. You placed your wand back in its space in your draw, then sat down to do your makeup.

Once your makeup was done, you changed into your dress which was a short, black long sleeved dress with a matching pair of high heels.

You looked at yourself in the mirror for a minute, deciding if you liked the sight and how the dress fit on you. Would the high heels be too much?

There was a knock at your bedroom door, so you stopped looking in the mirror and walked over to open it. Fred was on the other side of the door, he was wearing a pair or relatively baggy blue jeans and a white polo shirt. He looked.. nice.

His eyes roamed your body and looked at what you were wearing and then shot back up to your eyes. 

"You ready to go?" Your husband asked and leant on the doorframe, hands in pockets.

"Yeah, you?" You asked and he nodded his head. "Where is the restaurant?"

"It's just around the corner so we can walk in, there's no need to use apparition if it would take us less than two minutes." He said as you nodded your head in agreement.  "Let's go."

"Let's go." You repeated and walked out of your room with him.

The two of you left the apartment building and started to walk to the restaurant. Before you turned the corner to where it was, he grabbed ahold of your hand and didn't let go. You looked down, confused at why he had done it.

"Our friends don't know about this stupid arrangement. We have to pretend to love each other, remember?" He asked.

"Yeah, I remember. Did we still go to Barcelona for our honeymoon and had a shit ton of sex and fancy dinners?" You asked.

"Yes we did, and it was the time of your life." He said and started to walk again, both of you two seeing all of your friends waiting outside.

The girls were wearing dresses and the boys were wearing similar to Fred. Luke had a cigarette in his hand that was almost finished, so everyone said hello then waiting for Luke to be done before going to your booked table.

Everyone was sat opposite another person. Fred was in front of you and Angelina was next to you, George in front of her and next to Fred. Next to George was Luke and opposite Luke was Kiara, next to Kiara was Dionne and opposite her was Jayden.

After ordering drinks and starters, everyone had started asking questions about yours and Fred's marriage, mainly your honeymoon.

"So where in Spain did you two go?" Jayden asked from across the table.

"Barcelona." Fred answered before you could.

"I've always wanted to go to Barcelona, my brother went there with his girlfriend and they came back saying they had the time of their life." Luke said.

"It was amazing, we had such a fun time." You said and moved your hand to lay on top of Fred's hand.

You could feel his hand twitch, like he was about to move it away but it stayed there.

The night went on and everyone was having fun, a lot of laughs but lies were involved. Fred and you had to continue making up lots of lies about your honeymoon to keep your cover from being blown.

You went to Spain for two weeks, had a lot of fun together and spent almost all of your days there laughing and relaxing on the beach. In reality, you actually stayed in England and didn't leave the house for two weeks in case someone you knew, like a friend, saw you or Fred outside.

Everyone decided to go to a local pub after everybody finished eating their dinner, but Fred was tired so he decided to go home.

"Are you sure you don't want to come back with me?" Fred asked you whilst everyone was getting money out of the pockets for the bill.

"Yeah I'm sure. Go home, you're tired but I'm not." You told him. "Go sleep while I go get drunk for the both of us."

"Alright then." He said and got his own money out on the table. "Sorry guys, I'm going to head home."

All your friends groaned and asked why, Fred then explained that he was tired and needed to go home to sleep. He said goodbye, kissed the top of your head and then left with his jacket in his hand.

Everyone paid for dinner and made their way to the pub round the corner. After ordering the first round of drinks, the night got crazy.

•••

Dionne, Angelina, George and Jayden had all gone home for the night as they were all drunk, tired and had already thrown up most of their food and drinks. You and Kiara were sat at the table whilst Luke was getting another round of drinks, the last round.

"How's Fred been treating my girl then?" Kie asked you, winking subtlety.

"He's been an amazing husband to me so far, I couldn't ask for anyone better than him." You said and smiled.

"You two are so cute together. I wish me and Luke will end up being like you two later in our relationship." She said.

"Really? I wish me and Fred were like you two. You guys are inseparable, like if he goes home because he's tired then so will you." You said.

"Yeah, I would, wouldn't I?" She laughed.

Luke came back with three drinks and gave them to you girls before sitting down next to Kiara, holding her hand.

The three of you drank your drinks before Kiara started to fall asleep on Luke's shoulder. He decided to take her home and invited you to come with them to stay the night. He didn't want you to not make it back to your apartment unsafe.

"If that's alright then yeah, I will." You said.
