( does your mother know... about your new girlfriend, fred? )
— august nineteen ninety five
( a little bit taken out of the end of chapter twenty one of wild )

THE NEXT MORNING, Rory woke up around the same time as Ginny and Hermione, who seemed to not remember her waking them up the night before. Rory woke up with a smile on her face, she wondered if Fred had told everyone already, or if no one knew. The girl decided to go downstairs for breakfast, still in her pajamas.

"Good morning, Rory!" Mrs. Weasley beamed, "Did it get cold last night, dear?"

Rory raised an eyebrow, "Good morning, Mrs. Weasley! No it wasn't really that cold. Why?"

"I was just wondering because you've got that jumper on... oh! I must've mixed up the laundry again! That seems to be Fred's!" She sighed.

Ron and Harry who were sitting at the table, began laughing into their cups of orange juice.

"What's so funny?" George asked, him and Fred joining everyone else in the dinning room.

"Dunno... why don't we ask Fred?" Ginny smirked, taking a seat next to Harry.

"Ask me wha –" the boy's eyes landed on Rory and he paused. He grinned when he saw her in his jumper. He had given it to Rory last night... he told her it was her way of always having a piece of him when he wasn't around. Fred was already the cheesiest boyfriend on the planet, and he'd been her boyfriend for not even a day.

Mrs. Weasley came back into the dinning room with a plate of pancakes.

"Is my dad coming over later?" Rory asked, taking a seat at the table with everyone else.

"Not today, dear." Mrs. Weasley said, "He's got held up at work. He had to leave rather quickly after you all went to bed last night. I'm sure they'll have sorted it out tomorrow, though."

Rory nodded and sipped her orange juice. She was really excited to tell her dad all about Fred, however it now had to wait.

"Oh! I've forgotten silverware, I'll be right back." Mrs. Weasley began heading back to the kitchen.

"I'll help!" Fred grinned and followed her.

After not only five seconds of the two of them being in there together, a shriek was heard from Mrs. Weasley and she ran back into the dinning room.

"Rory! Is it true?" She beamed.

"Oh! Er... yeah!" Rory smiled.

Mrs. Weasley turned back to Fred with a smile (probably the first time she smiled at Fred all summer) and said, "I'm so proud of you!"
