You had been invited by Molly to spend the Christmas holidays at the Burrow, this worked out great seeing as your parents were actually going to be going abroad for the holidays so you would have been stuck at home on your own. You had gone upstairs to change into your pyjamas because it was nearly 12:00p.m and you left Fred with his mother and twin talking in the kitchen about their store but as you came downstairs you could hear that the conversation had changed direction and they were now talking about a different topic, you. You paused on the bottom step and found yourself listening to the hushed voice of Fred as he spoke, you had to strain your ear to hear him because despite the door being slightly ajar he was still talking very quietly,

"I really love her Mum," You heard Fred say "I don't know what it is I- I find myself missing her when she's gone even if I know she's going to be back soon, and she's so beautiful - Merlin, she is beautiful even though she says that she's not I can see that she is and her laugh, I swear it's almost musical - she hates it but I swear if I could choose a sound to listen to for the rest of my life it would be her laugh; she so strong, so much has tried to knock her down but she always picks herself up and doesn't let herself give up and she's so kind hearted and sweet and gentle" By now your eyes had filled with tears, you were on the cusp of crying and all you wanted to do was run and give Fred a tight hug and kiss him but you wanted to hear what he was saying. "I feel like everything is going to be okay when she's there, you know? She just brightens up my life, I couldn't imagine it without her in it, she makes me so happy. I'm going to marry her, Mum. I don't know when but I promise you I will one day"

From the small crack in the door you could see Molly envelop her son in a hug, she too was crying, overwhelmed by her son's very honest declaration of love. You smiled when you saw George frown as he quickly wiped away a stray tear before pulling both his mother and twin into a small group hug while you turned around and made your way back upstairs into Fred's room. You sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the picture on the cupboard on the side and smiled fondly, it was from your first anniversary where you had gone to dinner with Fred and you were both smiling widely with your hand intertwined on the table, the picture had been taken by George who had been hiding a few tables away from the two of you.

You looked at the door as it creaked open and Fred tip-toed in but stopped short when he saw you "I thought you were sleeping love," He sat beside you and peered at you with a small frown and a look of concern "Have you been crying? Your eyes a red"

You didn't say anything as you wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him close, he immediately responded with his own arms going around your waist pulling you ever closer as he placed a kiss in your hair, "What's wrong, love?"

"I heard what you said downstairs Fred" You said and you felt him stiffen slightly but he quickly relaxed when you kissed his cheek and pulled away, "I love you, I love you so much Fred that it scares me to think what I would be without you. I love you even though you sometimes turn my hair weird colours and you're abnormally loud and you're freakishly tall and you have so many freckles that they're impossible to count. I love you because you make me happy and you make me feel loved and nobody had ever been able to do that before and you- you're my soul mate Fred"

Fred leaned in, his lips capturing yours and you kissed back; it was a soft kiss but it seemed to communicate how much love the two of you felt for each other. Fred pulled away first, way to fast for your liking and got up from the bed before dropping to his knee, your hand flew to your mouth as he dug out a small blue velvet box that revealed a small diamond ring.

"I had a whole speech prepared Y/n but," He smirked "I think you've already heard all that I have to say so, would you do me the greatest honour of becoming my wife?"

You nodded speechlessly with your left hand outstretched and he slid the small ring onto your finger before pulling you in for another deep kiss.

"I love you Future Mrs Weasley"

"I love you too Mr Weasey"
