A Christmas to remember

It was Christmas Day. Finally. Bailey was one of the first to wake up at half 5 in the morning. Although she didn't plan to wake up this early she couldn't get back to bed so instead she decided to get up and get herself a cup of coffee.

When she got downstairs she noticed Molly who fell asleep on the sofa from staying up almost all night finishing the sweaters she was knitting for the children. Bailey chuckled and grabbed a blanket to cover Molly.

She went over to the kitchen and grabbed a cup and then backed up to go and get the coffee when suddenly she bumped into something or ,by what it felt like, someone. She slowly turned around to see none other then Fred Weasley standing there of course. Topless.

'You are up early love , what are you doing?' Said Fred

'Oh uh I couldn't sleep so I just went down here to get some coffee since I'm clearly not gonna get any more sleep aha...' she said fixating her eyes on him shirtless. Fred knew she was looking. He didn't care because he couldn't stop staring at her lips so it would be pretty hypocritical to say something.

'...Same thing.' He replied looking her up and down. They stayed quiet for a while before Bailey broke the silence  by letting out a sigh.

'Anyways I'm gonna get going...'Said Bailey and scurried away. Ever since Fred and Bailey had that kiss they kept having awkward moments like that.

A couple of hours passed and everyone was finally starting to get up Molly had gotten up and wrapped the presents. The only one who hadn't gotten up yet was George. Once breakfast was ready Fred went to get George.

Now that everyone was gathered together they all ate there breakfast so they could open presents. Bailey was excited to see she had also got a present, when she unwrapped it she tried to hold back her tears (from happiness) as she saw the cozy sweater Molly had knitted her with a big green 'B' on the front. She had never felt such Familiar love before because of her parents never being there for her as a child and still now.

When Bailey put it on she couldn't help but burst out in tears as she went in to hug Molly

'Thankyou so much Molly, I love it.' Molly was overwhelmed by this reaction and knew even though it took 4 hours of hard work to knit it, that it was worth it to see the smile on Baileys face in that moment.

Later that day everyone at the burrow was watching a Christmas movie. Bailey was thirsty so she went to get a drink. After she put her cup back in the sink she turned around to see Fred leaning against the door frame

'Hey bailey.' He said.

'Oh hey.' she replied. She thought that was the end of it but when she waked past him he quickly put his arm out stopping her from leaving the room. Then he whispered something in her ear.

'Meet me in my room tonight at 11:30 tonight.'

Bailey quickly swallowed her drink to avoid spitting it out. She went to reply but she choked on her words.

'Uh- o- ok...' she said before going back to where she was to watch the film. When Fred came back to his spot to where he was watching the film he winked at her causing her to awkwardly smile back. She was on a rollercoaster of emotions. Exited but anxious and wondering what was gonna happen.

Whilst everyone was watching the film she was playing scenarios in her head about what could happen and what he could have wanted to meet her for and what she wanted to happen. Before she knew it the film was over.

'Alright everyone it's 11:00 pm so it's time to go to bed. I hope everyone had a merry Christmas!' Said Molly. Everyone went upstairs including Fred who made sure to mime the words '11:30.' to Bailey to make sure she remembered to go.

Bailey rushed upstairs to bruh her teeth have a shower and do her hair and makeup. She had no idea why Fred wanted to meet her in her room but whatever reason it was she wanted to look and smell good for it so she had half an hour to glow up.

She just finished re-doing her makeup when it was 11:27. So she slowly stepped out of her room tip-toeing in attempt to make sure the creaky floorboards didn't make a noise. When she finally got to Freds room she was about to knock on his door when Fred opened the door for her before she even got the chance to knock and pulled her in then closed the door immediately after.

'Fred, why did you tell me to come here?' Said Bailey. He just stared at her in a kind of seductive way until he finally spoke.

'Lets make this a Christmas to remember, Bentlee.'

Before she knew it Fred had pushed her up against his wall and caged her with his arms and pulled her in gently. He stared her up and down as she bit her bottom lip. He was so close to her and both there hearts were pounding.

'Bailey can I-' He said in a meek whisper.

Bailey shushed him with her finger and gave a small nod which was all Fred needed. He grabbed Baileys waist and started kissing her on her neck and up to her lips. At first it was awkward but they got into it. Fred stroked through Baileys hair which made her melt inside and feel warm and fuzzy. Bailey kept her arms over his shoulders the whole time sometimes grabbing onto them a little too hard but he didn't care. The longer it happened the more intense it got to the point where they were gasping for breath but didn't want it to stop.

Eventually they slowed down as Fred held Baileys face and stroked her cheek with his thumb.They looked at each other intensely still breathing heavily. They were both in disbelief. Fred jumped onto his bed and patted it beckoning Bailey over. She walked over and sat down next to Fred.

'That was-' Bailey was lost for words and still panting

'I know.' said Fred grinning and rolling over to cuddle Bailey. By this time everyone was asleep and they were both to tired to say anything more to each other and it was late so, slowly, they both fell asleep in each-others arms.

The next day they were woken up by George, who had walked in on them together.

'Moorrning.' Said George causing them both to get up in shock.

'Well well well, what do we have here? My brother and Bailey Bentlee.' He said with a smirk.

'Oh shut up George, we were just taking and happened to fall asleep since it was late...' Said Bailey. Fred laughed at this.

'Yeah it was a great talk.' said Fred.

'Right right, and so you wouldn't mind telling me why Freds got a lipstick smudge on his face then?' In which both Fred and Bailey had no idea what to say.

'M-mind your business George, it's not from me.' Said Bailey.

'Sure.' Said George in a sarcastic tone

'Anyway mum wants you both in the kitchen, breakfast is ready.'  Said George before waking out laughing quietly to himself.

'Alright just tell her we'll be there in a minuet.' Said Fred.

'Crap, he clearly knows. What do we do now?' Said Bailey in a panic then looked over at Fred who seemed to not care at all.

Fred looked over at Bailey and laughed

'Chill out Bentlee. He can't prove anything. Besides, he wouldn't snitch on us.' Bailey took a few deep breaths.

'Ok ok yeah your right it'll be fine.' she said.

'Here.' Said Fred passing over a jumper for her to wear so she could get ready quickly to go to breakfast. It was a red jumper with a small yellow lion in the top right of the jumper to represent Gryffindor. She put it on and smiled as it smelt of him. Fire works and sweets.

'Looks good on you Bailey' said Fred.

'Thanks.' she replied with a smile going slightly red. She went out and into the kitchen where everyone greeted her and Molly plated her some breakfast.

'Hey Bailey why are you wearing Freds jumper?' Said Percy.

'Oh uhm no reason...' Said Bailey avoiding eye contact.

'Liar.' Said George while coughing so people wouldn't hear him. Bailey gave him a glare for this. Once she had finished her breakfast she went up to her room to gather her thoughts. She needed to know what was happening between her and Fred. After a lot of thinking she decided the only good option was to talk about it with Fred even though she didn't want to, the night before was amazing, the tension, the excitement and if she brung this up with him that would risk never getting to do that again but she knew it was the right thing to do.

She plucked up all her courage and went over to Freds room. She knocked with her heart pounding out of her chest and Fred opened the door.

'Oh, hey Bentlee, whatsup?' He said confused.

Ok just say the words Bailey.

'Can I come in?' She said. He stepped back to let her in. and she sat down on his bed.

'Fred...what are we?' She said. Fred looked at her for a while in thought and then went down to sit next to her

'I don't- I don't know Bailey.' He replied while rubbing his hands together which he did whenever he's nervous. Meanwhile she picked at her skin which is what she did when she was nervous.

'Okay look at me Fred.' She said and grabbed his hands.

It's now or never Bailey.

'I've had feelings for you since the third year in hogwarts Fred, I think- I think I'm in love with you...'
