Lightning *Fred Weasley love*

End Game Part 16

We landed near a village
I wasn't sure which one Ron took us too, it was definitely one we hadn't been to yet, maybe him and Hermione went to it during one of their trips while Harry and I stayed behind

"You ok?" I asked him after letting go of his hand

He silently took my hand again and walked with me to an inn across the road
We walked into an building called
"The Lucky Bat"
Inside was a bar filled with drunk wizards and witches, the floors creaked and the door didn't seem to have a good stopper because when it closed it slammed shut and I jumped into Ron's arm from it spooking me

"Scared?" A male asked me from across the room

"She's fine piss off" Ron answered back and then went up to the front desk "we need a room with two beds"

Behind the counter was a small goblin male who had grey hair and smelled of butterbeer
He looked at Ron and then at me
"Two beds huh, lovers quarrel?" He laughed

"Yeah" Ron said back pulling me in tighter to his side
I knew he was just doing this to show all the wizards around that I wasn't to be messed with, but it made me think of Fred instantly

The goblin gave us a set of keys and then we walked up 3 flights of stairs to get to our room for the night
Room number 143

"143" I said smirking "I love you in number code"

"Well my sweet let's go to our room" he said smirking back
It's nice to see him starting to turn back to normal

Inside the room were two beds, tinier than the ones we slept on in our first year at Hogwarts
The room wasn't decorated, it was as plain as plain could get
One single light at the beginning of the room and nowhere else
One window that looked cracked down the middle, and a shade that was mostly falling apart
Ron put my bag on the floor and then turned on the radio

"Home sweet home" he said sitting down and then breaking the bed "well sort of"

I smiled
"Homes better than this...where is this anyways?"

He shrugged
"Not sure, we passed by it in the first month we traveled. I didn't realize it would be so rundown or filled with drunks but it's fine for one night" he laid down on his bed and I sat down beside him

"Want to talk about it?"

He closed his eyes
"Not really"

"I would like it if you did" I squeezed his leg for comfort

He sighed
"I just thought Harry knew more about Horcruxes and where to find them. Any leads really, we only found the locket by mistake"

"Did we though? Or did we figure out where it was because we as a team worked it out"

He rolled his eyes
"Yeah well...still I'm really worried about the family Electra" he got up from laying down "what if something happens to one of them because of what we're doing? I sometimes wonder if it was the right move going with Harry"

I shrugged my shoulders
"Blood traitors remember?" I pointed to myself "even if you weren't in love with Hermione" he choked on the air "Fred was still in love with me, and even if he wasn't I, a half breed, lived with you all my entire life. If anything it's my fault you are where you are"

He took my hand gently
"No it's not...and I'm not in love with Hermione"

I rolled my eyes this time
"If you say so, our family has always been outcasted by pure bloods we would have been in this mess regardless" I looked at the door "I wonder if they serve food here too or just liquor" I got up from his bed and started fumbling for change

"I'll go look, please don't go down there alone" he got up and grabbed the money I found "I'll find us something ok?"

I nodded my head but felt the need to tease him still
"Overprotective much?"

He was about to unlock the door when I said that, but he instead looked me dead in the eyes and said
"You're the only family I have close by Electra. I would do anything to keep you safe"

"And to avoid the wrath of Fred?" I smiled

"Yes that too, a lot of that actually" he laughed "but really though, I feel like it's my job to keep you from harm so make it easy for me and don't go drinking with the creeps downstairs" he opened the door

"I'll try my best" I said before he shut it and locked it from the outside

I pulled out Fred's locket again and rewatched his memories while I waited for Ron to return

The memory I was watching now was when he was in his 6th year of school, my 4th year, and he was learning about Amortentia

"Can any of you tell me what this is?" Professor Snape asked the class

"Easy it's Amortentia" George said out loud
Snape glared at us but gave us 10 points anyways
We had been experimenting with love potions for when our shop opens so of course we knew what it was

I knew what it was right when I walked into potions class
I opened the door with George and was caught off guard for a moment
All I could smell was strawberries, broomsticks and chamomile tea
The room smelled just like Electra, I thought she was in the here until George mentioned smelling plums vanilla and cinnamon, things that the current girl he was seeing smelled like according to him since he's told me multiple times unfortunately

I could bottle up this smell and never get tired of it
She always smells so fruity and then of course just like broomsticks, the thing she was born to be on

I closed the locket because I heard someone jangly the door lock
Ron came in with two trays of something warm, I could see the steam come off the top

"Not much but it's some kind of soup?" He said questionably "I already tasted both of them they're not poisonous"

I laughed
"Thanks"

We ate silently and then both went to bed right after
Ron for once slept right away, probably from the warm soup
I did my usual nighttime routine which consisted of looking at my parent's in the sky and then at Fred's star that I chose for him, and then our zodiac signs that stayed close together
One day my love
I kissed the locket, my ring and then my bracelet before I finally fell asleep too
