I Do | Fred Weasley x Reader

chapter 23

"Alright, but this a one-time thing. I really appreciate it" she says and I smile "There's only one place we're going to get all of this. Diagon Alley"

We all got ready to go and stand by the fireplace. Mrs Weasley picks up a pot and turns to all of us.

"Here we are, Harry. You go first, dear"

"But Harry's never traveled by Floo powder before, mum. And neither has Y/N" Ron points out.

"Floo powder?" Harry asks.

"Oh, well, you go first Ron so that Harry and Y/N can see how it's done. Yes" Mrs Weasley says and Ron nods, going towards the fireplace "In you go" Mrs Weasley says, Ron facing us.

Ron takes a handful of the dust that's in the pot, and Mrs Weasley steps back, moving everyone else out of the way.

"Diagon Alley" Ron says, and throws the powder down, him bursting into green flames.

Fred quickly covers me and I hug him, covering my face in his shoulder.

"You see? It's quite easy, dear. Don't be afraid. Come on" Mrs Weasley says but Harry stays put "Come on. In you go. That's it, mind your head" Mrs Weasley ushers, and Harry walks up, going into the fireplace "That's right. Now, take your Floo powder" Harry hesitantly takes a handful of the powder "That's it, vey good. Now don't forget to speak very, very clearly"

"Diagonally" Harry says, and again, Fred holds me close as the green flames take Harry away.

"What did he say, dear" Mrs Weasley asks her husband.

"Diagonally" Mr Weasley replies.

"I thought he did" Mrs Weasley says.

"That oaf" I say, looking at the fireplace.

"Y/N, you next" Mrs Weasley says, so I step forwards.

"I think I should go with Y/N, considering what just happened to Harry" Fred says, so I turn to him.

"Yes, perhaps you're right, Fred" Mrs Weasley says, and Fred smiles at me, taking my hand.

"Don't let go of my hand" Fred says, and we both go to the fireplace, Fred taking a handful of powder.

"Diagon Alley" Fred says loudly and drops the powder.

I hold his arm with my other hand and close my eyes. A moment later, someone lifts my head up.

"You can open your eyes. We're here" Fred says, and I open my eyes, seeing us in a shop. I walk outside, still holding Fred's hand and dragging him out.

Soon after, everyone else came, all of us going to Gringotts to get money. I quickly grab as much as I can carry and ask the twins to take some as well.

We go to Flourish and Blotts where there is a book signing with a man named Gilderoy Lockhart. We see Hermione there and talk with her for a bit, but soon she leaves to look for Harry.

Me, Mrs Weasley, Ginny and Ron wait in the shop for Harry. After a while of waiting in line, Harry and Hermione come to us.

"Oh, Harry! Thank goodness. We'd hoped you'd only find one grate too far" Mrs Weasley says, brushing Harry off.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Gilderoy Lockhart" an announcer says, and Mrs Weasley gasps as he comes in, everyone clapping.

"Here he is" Mrs Weasley says in astonishment and starts to fix and/or play with her hair.

Gilderoy Lockhart is a medium height man with blue robes that look really expensive, golden blond hair that's in curls.

Honestly, he isn't bad, but there is something off about him. Something I can't explain.
