Y/N pov:
I'm currently sat on the sofa with Freddie in the Gryffindor common room.
"Are you sure that it'll be ok with Molly Fred? I don't want to be a burden or anything. Plus I stayed last year, I feel so bad."
"Darling. I've already spoken to mum, she said it's absolutely fine. And if it wasn't, I'd just sneak you up to my room anyway." He replies laughing.
I still get butterflies, every single time he calls me darling. Or says something even remotely flirtatious, even though I knew he was joking, it felt so real.
Hermione, Harry and Ron had just come into the room. Me and Harry were getting along really well recently. After finding out that we were practically cousins, we'd gained a really strong relationship. Guess I had my dad to thank for that. The only problem was, he had become really protective of me, and at the slightest little time someone flirted with me, most likely Fred, he jumped in.
"Weasley, off my sister!" He shouted, walking further into the room. Fred was hardly doing anything, he only had his hand on my shoulder.
Fred put his arms up in surrender.
"Y/N, Fred, ready to go? Train leaves in 10" Ron said, gesturing towards the door. I run up to my room accompanied by Fred who insists on carrying my trunk.
"Why thank you kind sir." I laugh,
"The pleasures all mine m'lady."
We headed down to the station where we would be travelling home. I'd never actually been on a train, as we always used the floo network to get around. Standing on the platform we see all our friend, waiting to get on, looking around worriedly.
"What's wrong?" Fred asks as we approach. George and Lees worried looks turn to smirks, with Harry and Ron share a look of disgust, Hermione and Ginny just laugh at the situation.
"Have fun up there guys?" Lee asks, raising his eyebrows with a smug expression.
"What?" I ask.
I nudge Fred indicating to play along. He smirks, obviously getting the joke.
"We did actually." Fred smirks.
Gasps could be heard from all of our friends, Lee and George had dropped their smirks and had a pure look of shock.
Then my attention turned to Harry, he looked murderous. I walked over to him and placed my arms around his waist, "hey bro, Hazza come on, he's kidding."
"I swear to fucking god Weasley!" Without he lunges at Fred and tackled him to the ground. People were laughing at the boys, rolling around on the platform.
"You dicks." I shouted, pulling them off each other by the ears.
"IM WRITING TO YOUR MOTHER FRED!" Harry shouts, Fred tried to tell him it was a joke, but he was already boarding the train with Ron and Hermione.
"Anyway darling." Fred turned to me and took my hand in his, "let's head off, lady's first."
He helped me into the train and we ran down the halls to where George and Lee had already found a compartment.
I began to get really nervous as I didn't know what to expect. Fred caught up on my actions as he sat across from me, Lee by my side.
"Are you alright darling?" He said.
"Yeah, erm, totally stupid but would now be the wrong time to tell you I've never actually been on a train." I say shyly.
"What." George and Lee gasped.
"That's alright darling. There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just like a broom, except you just sit here and it pulls itself." Fred says.
I give him a weary look and Lee wraps his arm around me.
Suddenly the train begins to pull away from the station, I'm at such a shock that I go flying forwards, just happening to meet a certain ginger. I'm now on top of Fred, as I swear I see a blush. Sniggers are made from George and Lee and I quickly scramble to my feet. "Sorry Freddie. Shit." I say quickly, feeling my face heat up in embarrassment.
He gains control of himself and just plainly says, "it's alright Y/N, no harm done. Should have warned you to hold on at first." I laughed with him.
Further into the train ride, I'd began to relax a little, as the twins entertained us by telling us about their future.
"We haven't got a name yet, but it's going to be a prank shop in diagon alley." George began.
"We'd do the shop in Hogsmede but they've already got Zonkos, so we've decided Diagon alleys probably best. And as for the name, we have no ideas." Fred said.
"How about Weasley jokes." Lee suggested, and the twins start to laugh, "fine but I don't see Y/N coming up with any ideas" he moans.
"I have one actually but it's stupid so no." I reply.
"Come on darling, it won't be stupid, we are open to all suggestions. Even shitty ones like Lees." He laughs, receiving the finger from Lee.
"Okay.... fine... what about." I began "Weasleys Wizard Wheezes?"
I look at three unreadable faces looking at me.
"What?" I ask.
"ITS PERFECT!" George shouts, grasping me in a hug and placing a kiss on my cheek.
I'm lost for words. The boys actually like the idea?
Next Fred jumps up and pulls me on to his lap, pulling me into a warm embrace. "I love it." He says, "Weasleys Wizard Wheezes. Absolutely perfect! Let's for now, keep this to ourselves though. At least until we are in final year. We don't want mum to find out."
"Why can't your mum know?" Lee asks.
"Well let's just say, she's not very fond of the idea really." George begins.
"Wants us to get a job at the ministry. Wants us involved in all the boring shit." Fred finishes.
"Well I'm sure she will come around. What about you Lee? What do you want to do after school?" I ask.
"Well I was thinking about doing something involved in commentating. Maybe do the World Cup and things like that." He says.
"You'd be perfect at that Lee." I say. I really could see Lee doing that, he had a gift with those sorts of things.
"What about you Y/N?" George asks as the three boys turn to me.
"Haven't got a clue to be honest, was thinking about an auror though. Lupin mentioned that I'm quite good at defensive spells." I say.
"I think that'd be perfect for you." George compliments.
"Yeah, you can take your anger out on someone else then." Lee adds.
"Oh shut up the pair of you." I scold whilst laughing.
Fred seems awfully quiet, "what's wrong Freddie?"
"Nothing, nothing." He says quickly.
"Yes there is, what's wrong?"
"Well, don't get me wrong I'd support you in anything, but you do realise that Aurors go after you-know-who, and his death eaters." Fred says.
"Course I do Freddie. That's why I want to do it." I say. Wow he really did care about me.
"Fine I'll allow it, but if you go getting hurt, you must promise me you'll stop and you'll come and just work in our shop."
I expect him to laugh, but the three boys just stand there looking at me, "your kidding me right? No chance. It's in the job, you get hurt , you get healed, try again when your fit enough. I'm not going to drop out at the first attack from Voldermort." They gasp a little at the use of the name, "what, fine you-know-who, I've done it before and still kept on trying!" I almost shout the last part.
"What?" They all say to me.
"Shit." I mumble.
"You've got some explaining to do." Fred says whilst the others nod along still in shock.
"There's nothing to explain!" I say, "I was only 5 months old!"
"You took on you-know-who at the age of 5 months Y/N! Do you have any idea how awesome that is." Lee says and George nods along eagerly.
"I didn't take him on! Most of it was just luck! If the spell hadn't have rebound on me then I'd be dead and Voldermort would have my abilities. It's not good guys, I lost my mum, my dad, my uncle, James, Lily, everyone who ever cared about me! It's me! I'm the reason James and Lily are dead! It's all my fault!" I shout, breaking down.
Fred makes his way over to me and pulls me into a hug, "it's not your fault darling."
"It is Freddie! It is! And I've got to live with it! I'm the reason Harry hasn't got any family! And I can't even bring up the courage to tell him." I sob.
"No it's not Y/N. Look I don't know the whole story, but you were 5 months old Y/N! There's nothing you could have done! Nothing at all! Please remember that." He says.
The boys try their hardest to calm me down. And I made a promise to myself, I would tell Harry. Tell him the real reason as to why he lost his parents that day. No body knew, and knowing it's going to get out eventually, I feel that Harry should hear it from me.

Time skip....
Freds pov:
"Here let me get that darling." I stop Y/N from carrying her trunk as it's on the high shelves. It amused me how small she is.
"You giant." She mocks.
"Hey, I'm not a giant, your just tiny." I laugh, as she slaps me around the back of the head.
"Enough flirting you two. Come on, mums waiting." George shouts.
Trunks in hand we exit the train and Y/N leaves my side. "Where are you going darling?" I bellow after her.
"I'll catch up with you in a minute!" She shouts back. I keep a close eye on her, not even really acknowledging my mum.
"Fred, how lovely to see you." She says. I hardly even hear her, I'm too busy looking for Y/N. "FRED!" Mum shouts, "she's fine, she's gone to say bye to her friends. She's strong Fred, she will be absolutely fine."
I nod at my mum, giving her a hug before turning round to see Y/N hugging Lee. I walk up to the pair, hoping to say see you to Lee as well.
"Enjoy the trip to see your mum!" She shouts as Lee thanks her once again. Y/N comes strutting up to me and throws a hand around my side. "Come on then, fake boyfriend" she laughs.
"Coming my darling." I laugh, whilst throwing an arm around her waist.
I'd just remembered that we'd never actually told anyone except George and Lee that we were only faking dating, why not have some fun with it.
We walked up to mum, who smiled at us. "Mum" I took a deep breath, "I'd like you to meet Y/N."
"Fred I've already met Y/N." She began, but I interrupted.
"My girlfriend." I say.
This was it, I was ready to be slapped around the head, instead I heard a shriek as we got pulled close by my mum.
"I knew it, I knew it! Your perfect for each other."
Y/N starts to laugh, "mum I was just joking, we aren't really. There's quite a few boys that are taking advantage of Y/N, saying some really inappropriate things to her and no matter what she tried they wouldn't leave her alone. Beating them up didn't work so I stepped in and with everyone thinking we are together, they've laid off her a little."
My mum looks slightly upset. I mean, she really wanted me to admit my feelings for Y/N, but I can't do that I'm too scared.

At the burrow:
Y/N pov:
"Right Y/N." Molly began, "Hermione is going to be staying with us this summer. She will be arriving next week, so will you be alright to share a room with the twins again please?"
"Course I can Molly, thank you." I reply.
"Come on then roomie." Fred laughs. He picks up my trunk and slings an arm around my shoulder, leading me up the stairs.
George is already sat on his bed, writing. "Ah, see that your with us again. Fabulous." He says sarcastically.
"Come on, you love me really. Might even help you out with some of your products." I say laughing.
"Oh I always knew you were my favourite." He says to me. He stands up and pulls me out of Freds grasp, laying me on his bed a laying at the side of me. I knew what he was doing, he was trying to make Fred flip, and by the looks of it. It was working.
"FRED, GEORGE." Mollies loud voice echoed up the stairs, "BRING Y/N, BILL'S HERE."
I suddenly began to get nervous, I'd met Bill before, hung out quite a lot actually and had always kept it a secret. I couldn't have the twins knowing, they'd bully me.
I begin to walk down the stairs so excited to see my best friend again. "Woah, why are you so excited. It's only Bill, my older brother. He will say hello and that's it." Fred said putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Whatever you say Freddie." I laugh.
We reach the room, and there he was, standing, talking to Ginny. The man I classed as my big brother.
Molly was clutching on to her son, "after two years, Bill you've finally come home. I love you my boy. But I'm mad at you, where were you."
Molly began to speak, "Bill this is Y/N. A friend of the twins."
That's it I couldn't help it, with matching smirks we ran as fast as we could to each other. He lifted me up and his eyes began to tear.
"How have you been devil." He laughed.
" the best big brother." I laughed.
He put me back to the ground and I wiped the tears from his eye, "oh don't cry you big baby. Wouldn't want me telling Fleur now would you." I laugh. He smacked me on the arm playfully and pulled me into another hug.
Oops, we'd forgotten about the others, we pull away and look towards the others, scanning the big families reaction. They all look in complete shock until Bill speaks up. "This is my little sister. Mum can you remember when I got splinched by death eaters and I told you that someone looked after me, well here she is. Two years of healing me and we reunite. I've missed you trouble." He laughs to me.
"Not as much as I've missed you! Come on, I've missed my big bro." I laugh. "Wait Bill, three, two, one, go."
We started to do a handshake lifting our arms and legs all over the place. He got the message and started laughing.
We were then interrupted by another voice, none other than Fred, who looked extremely pissed-off, "would someone please explain to me what's going on?"
Me and Bill laughed and pulled everyone into the living room. Sat, in front of us was the whole family, 7 confused faces.
Me and Bill stood in front and began to explain.
Bill started, "so, when I went to France to arrest the two death eaters, I got splinched, really, really bad and well, Y/N found me seconds later, after going for a walk."
Then I continue, "so I do something very, very illegal as I'd not passed my test but I want you all to know that even though I had no record to prove it, I was 99% certain I knew what I was doing."
This received a laugh from Bill, who carried on, "she actually apperated to Saint Mongos hospital, holding onto me. They patched me up and Y/N stayed at my side the entire time, however, the hospital wasn't at all useful and said that there was nothing they could do, said that they couldn't stop the bleeding and at the rate I was going, the chances of me living were low. I was told I was going to die."
I started to get tears in my eyes at the memory but Bill turned to me, "don't you dare start crying again." I laughed, "so Y/N was by my side the entire time, when she realised that she wasn't going to give up on me. She took me back to France and back to her house that she lived in alone, laid me on her bed and got her wand. I don't know how she did it but suddenly she'd managed to calm the blood loss."
"I told her to leave me, because the chances of me living were very low at the amount I had lost, and that's when she turned and she said to me. Bill Weasley, shut the fuck up, she actually slapped me across the face which lightened the mood a bit, but then she said, the chances are low, but never 0. She never gave up on me, after a week, of her performing non stop spells, she had saved me. I wasn't in pain, and although my chances of living were unpredictable, she stuck by me, I got better."
The whole family turned and looked at me in awe.
"And she didn't stop there either, after finishing the healing process and making my injuries stable, I was nothing. I couldn't move, I couldn't eat, I couldn't talk, I couldn't even drink by myself. I felt that life was pointless, I had nothing to live for. I couldn't even survive by myself. I felt like a burden to Y/N. But no matter how many times I told her to leave me, and to go on and enjoy her life without me, she refused to give up on me. Day by day. Night by night, every minute a new challenge. She fed me, she made sure I drank, kept me strong and healthy, until I could move, in which she helped me more than ever before, limb by limb. I'll never forget the time I stood, for the first time in a year, when I cried in her arms. I honestly don't know how she did it, but she was there for me, for two years, every single day, every single minute. I owe her my life. She 13, and the biggest heart id ever seen."
That's it, I was full on blubbing, "shit Bill, I thought we weren't gonna talk about that anymore!" I laugh.
Molly and Ginny were now full on crying as well, along with me and Bill. The others eyes were sparkling but refusing to release any tears. "Bill, I'm so sorry, I had no idea! I shouldn't have snapped at you, Bill I had no idea what you've been through." Molly whimpered.
She turned to me, "and you young lady, I don't even know what to say. You saved my boy. You gave up on your life at age 14 for my boy! You risked your life, risked everything for him. You threw away two years of your life for him." She broke down crying in my arms, " I wish I could have been there for you Bill! But I wasn't, I gave up on you, I thought that you'd ditched our family out of spite, I thought we didn't mean anything to you anymore. I should have tried harder! My boy, I'm so sorry. I'll never forgive myself, for you or for what Y/N went through."
"That's where I'm going to stop you there. It's my turn to speak now." I say confidently as the attention turns to me, "Molly, there was no way that you could have known, I did things I shouldn't have, things that were extremely illegal, if people were to find out id be in so much trouble. Not only did I apperate at a young age, risking both our lives to get us to hospital, but I took him from hospital, not knowing if I could save him or not. This was a selfish thing to do. I had no idea what I was doing and I guess I was just lucky, but I couldn't see them give up on him. But I'll tell you one thing, I never have, and never will regret it. Molly there was no way you could have found him, as I cleared the track records to cover our backs. I of course didn't know he was your son otherwise I would have mentioned it sooner. But I'll tell you now, we needed to find a focus, something for him to live for, and he spoke of you. You and Charlie. How he loves you with every inch of his heart, how you love him and care for him, how he'd be lost without you, oh and your cooking of course. He knew that you wouldn't leave him Molly and he loves you with every inch of his heart. Oh and as for me, yes I was 14, yes it was the scariest time of my life, yes I founded a stranger dying on the street, yes i nearly killed us both trying to save him, yes I spent two years helping him, feeding him, helping him to move, talking to him when he couldn't even reply, but like I said, I wouldn't trade it for the world. Because not only did I save a strangers life, I gained a big brother. A real family member. And yes we may not be related by blood, but out of everyone I've ever met, there's no one that would become more of my family, than this boy right here."
I was engulfed in a hug by Bill, who stood there, tears streaming down his face while he refused to let go of me. The others had also now begun to cry, Molly
How will I ever repay you Y/N." Molly asked.
"No need Molly, my payment was a family, and I certainly got one. Because we may not have the same blood, but you guys have been more like a family to me than anyone else ever has."
"Well technically I share your blood don't I Y/N." Bill chuckled through the tears.
"What do you mean?" Asked Molly.
Bill explained, "Saint Mongos wouldn't give me a blood donation as they thought that I'd pass, so when we got back to France, luckily Y/N had the same type as me. She took her own blood, and an awful lot of it, and gave it me. It made her weak, but yet she still looked after me. Mum I owe her everything!"
"I love you Y/N." Bill says. "Little sister."
"I love you Bill. My big brother." I say.
