Infinity (Fred Weasley x reader)

72 - Poison

You were on bed rest for a few days before Lupin allowed you to leave. Fred and George bought you home whereas the rest of the Weasley's went to Fleur and Bill's house whilst The Burrow was being rebuilt. Because of the attack Fred and George had employed more security just in case of another attack but they'd reopened the shop despite the danger. You doubted that they'd attack the shop, they wanted Harry more than you so it was more than likely that they'd attack somewhere he was rather than you. 

"Now that you're better," You and Fred were sat in the kitchen above the shop. "want your present?" Fred's eyes lit up as he watched you smile at his words. 

"I'd love to." Fred got up and held his hand out for you to take which you happily did. He pulled you into a small study the boys had. It was mainly used to test products on that way they wouldn't damage anything in their flat if anything happened to go wrong. Apart from that, there was a small desk in the corner with a few scraps of paper along with a few photos on the wall. The photos were of the Weasley family and there was a few of you, Lee and Oliver with the twins. 

Fred now let go of your hand and walked over to something draped in a red cloak. He looked over to you before speaking. "Ready?" You nodded and Fred pulled away the cloak to reveal a record player. Next to the record player was all the old records that were in the box Snape gave you and to be more specifically the ones Sirius and Remus used to dance to when they were in Hogwarts. 

"Fred ... I -" 

"I put all of Sirius's records next to it so you can play them whenever you want and me and George are gonna use another room for testing, that way this can be your office. You can keep all your work in here ... whatever you want-" 

"It's perfect Freddie." You smiled brightly at the boy, moving towards the record player to inspect it. Your hands traced the records Fred had laid out, picking up one you slowly loaded it onto the player. Moving the needle onto the record a song started to hum out of the speaker making you smile. You were standing alongside Fred whilst the song began to play when Fred moved to stand behind you. He wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you back so your back was against his chest. Fred then put his head on top of yours as he began to sway to the music with you. 

For a moment both you and Fred had forgotten what had happened a few days ago, forgot all that happened with The Burrow and Bellatrix. It reminded of you when you danced with Sirius and Lupin. It seemed to be that music was your escape, dancing with those you loved was an escape and you wished it could have lasted forever but unfortunately, George wouldn't let that happen. 

"Hey Freddie have you seen the - oh look at the two of you!" George burst through the door but stopped the moment he saw you and his brother wrapped in each other's arms, swaying to the music. At the sudden realisation that you and Fred were no longer alone the two of you pulled apart. 

"What the bloody hell do you want?" Fred huffed, clearly annoyed that George had ruined the moment. 

"Just wanted to know if you've seen the new Snackbox orders, I thought they were downstairs behind the curtain but I was wrong -" 

"Try the storage room, first shelf on your right." Fred simply replied, giving his brother a look. George just smiled in response as he eyed the two of you, he turned around to shut the door but yelled as he did so. 

"Just so the two of you know I don't think Mum'll want grandchildren anytime soon -" 

"I'm gonna kill him." You glared back at the door as he left. 

"Get in line," Fred replied as the song came to an end. "Although you're rather good at using the Cruciatus Curse so perhaps you should go first."
