Fred Weasley x Fem!Reader
A/N: I strongly recommend to read this while listening to this song!
"Fred, say that again!" She exclaimed as she gave him a fleeting glance and then focused all her attention back on what she was doing previously.
The redhead glanced over his shoulder quickly and looked at her. "What?"
"What?" She asked him back with a smile.
"Repeat what you told me. I didn't hear you!"
"Ah." He whispered moving a little closer to her, awkwardly. "Yes. I, uh, yes." He wiped the back of his hand across his forehead, brushing away the dripping sweat. "Wait!"
"Bombarda Maxima!" George Weasley exclaimed, pointing his wand at one of the heavy castle doors, where they had to go as a shortcut to get to where all his friends and the rest of the other Gryffindor were. "This conversation should be held somewhere private, Fred."
"George, we don't have time right now to do that." the girl said as she ran with the Weasley Twins down the corridor.
"Shit, watch out!" Fred exclaimed before casting a spell towards a Death Eater who was running at them head on.
"Petrificus totalus!" Said the young woman turning her attention towards the same Death Eater. "Fuck you!" She said before unleashing a punch at the man who had just been paralyzed by the spell and was now lying on the ground.
"I love it when you do that." Fred commented slowing his pace. "Wait." He grabbed the girl running next to him by the hand. George stopped too, but a few feet away from them.
"What did you want to tell me before." She sighed as she looked down at their intertwined hands, then up into his eyes.
"I asked you if you wanted to marry me. Tomorrow, when this is all over." Fred breathlessly blurted out, "I know it's rushed and not the best time to propose to anyone, but-"
"The truth is, the timing is horrible, Freddie."
"George." Looked Fred to his twin brother, shaking his head. "I'm trying to do something here." He looked back at the young woman in front of him.
"You don't know if we'll have time." She finished by saying what he had tried to tell her before.
"I just want to be by your side forever. As long as we have time left." He said resting his forehead on hers.
The three of them were silent for a few moments. In the distance they could hear explosions and screams caused by the spells and destruction coming from all parts of the castle, for just a few meters away from them the final battle, the battle of Hogwarts was taking place.
The battle that would dictate the rest of their lives, that would change everything.
"Fred..." whispered the young woman taking the Weasley's face, and then kissing him sweetly and briefly. "Tomorrow, tomorrow..." she smiled through her tears as she nodded energetically.
"Tomorrow." He whispered at her affirmative response.
"Yes. Tomorrow it is then."
He brushed her hair away from her face, and placed a kiss on her clear, but slightly sweaty forehead.
"I must find my father and tell him that tomorrow he must walk me down the aisle."
"Yes..." he whispered, as she brushed away the tears streaming down his face. "I hope Lupin will take it well."
"Guys, I don't want to fuck up your moment, but we have to keep moving." They were interrupted by George, who was on the lookout for danger.
"He's right. We have to keep going." She said looking at her friend. "I should get Harry, he needs me."
"No. You have to stay with George, he needs you to continue with the plan. I'll be fine, I promise."
The red-headed nodded unsure, he didn't want to let her go, he was terrified to let her go. He was terrified of her slipping through his fingers and losing her.
"Congratulations, guys." Congratulated George to the two people he loved most in the world, with a great sense of pride.
"I'll be fine." She whispered to him as she stepped back a little, so she could go a different way. "I can't miss the most important day of my life." She smiled broadly at him, the love of her life.
"Baby..." he whispered, before pulling her back into his arms and kissing her again as if his life depended on it. As if it was going to be the last time.
After that they pulled apart and went in different directions, unsure and afraid.
When they were a good distance away from each other Fred looked back to where she had gone and before he lost sight of her he shouted. "Tomorrow is our big day, beautiful!"
"Fred Weasley, tomorrow is forever!" She exclaimed back, her echo echoing through the halls of the castle, where so many moments and memories had been shared by them over the years.
Sadly, tomorrow never came, for either of them.
