Trust Me || Fred Weasley (Book One)

Twenty seven

Faye's POV:
I always cherish my time at the burrow, loving the warm feeling of home that envelopes me as I walk through the door. The smell of food cooking on the stove, the sound of the enchanted knitting needles in the corner of the room. I looked up at the clock standing against the wall. I saw his face smiling underneath the "work" category. The pictures were old, but the smile was still the same. It warmed my heart.

Dawn and I walked into the living room of the Weasley household. Dawn took everything in slowly, and with a face of slight amazement.

"Sensationnel" Dawn spoke impulsively in French, which she does sometimes. It translated to "wow".

"ne vous habituez pas à la paix et la tranquillité. Une fois que tout le monde est à la maison, cet endroit sera un zoo complet." I replied, also in French, following her lead. Whenever Dawn absent-mindedly speaks in French I always feel the need to answer the same way. I replied, "don't get used to the peace and quiet. Once everyone is home this place will be a complete zoo". Dawn shook her head at me, smiling. Suddenly I heard someone descending the stairs, only to be met with a flustered-looking Molly.

"Oh! I hope you weren't saying anything nasty about the house, now" she joked with me, smiling as she pulled me into a hug.

"Never, Molly" I laughed slightly, hugging her back. She pulled away and smiled at Dawn, pulling her in for a hug as well. Dawn was surprised by Molly's warm gesture but gladly returned it.

"It's nice to meet you, dear, you must be Dawn, am I right?" She asked, pulling away slightly to look at Dawn. Dawn nodded her head, giving a sweet smile. "Well, my home is your home. Anything you need, don't be afraid to ask" Molly smiled, giving Dawn's shoulder a comforting squeeze, then pulling away from her.

"Um, Molly? When are the twins going to be back from work? I was hoping Fred would be here when I arrived" I blushed slightly, having never talked to Molly about my relationship with Fred. The last time I saw her was around Christmas time, and at that point, Fred and I weren't really dating yet.

"Don't worry dear, they'll be home soon. They actually should be leaving any minute now, seems they're running a bit late" Molly looked over at the clock, shrugged, then looked back to me. "Fred is especially excited to see you. And it's only been what? Two weeks since you've seen each other? The boy is completely taken by you" she shook her head, but she was smiling from ear to ear, and I was blushing bright red.

"Ooo how about we surprise him when he gets home? You know, a little Easter present" Dawn chuckles. Molly and I turned to her, all ears. "Faye could hide up in the twin's room and when Fred gets here Molly can tell him that Faye and I will be arriving a day late. Then you can tell him to go get something from his room and surprise! Faye is right there" she smiled.

"That actually sounds like a really good idea" I chuckled, getting excited.

"Oh, I'll do anything to make Fred happy" Molly nodded her head. It was settled then, I was to surprise Fred when he got home from work.

Suddenly I heard more footsteps coming down the stairs, and I turned around to see Ginny running towards me. She jumped slightly, wrapping her arms around my neck, hugging me. I stumbled backward a bit because I was taken by surprise but immediately hugged her back. I haven't seen Ginny in a while, and I really do miss her. She's always been like a little sister to me.

"When I was trying to get you and Fred together, I didn't know that would mean I never got to see you again" she chuckled, pulling away from me. I smiled sadly, feeling a little bad that I didn't make time for her.

"Don't worry, for the next few months, it's just us girls. No more annoying twins" I rolled my eyes.

"Be careful what you say about your future husband" Dawn bumped my hip as she walked past, following Molly into the kitchen, probably looking for some food. I blushed slightly but didn't reply.
