Fell in Love Without You
Epilogue: You thought I was gonna just leave it, didn't you?
"Finale boarding call, Flight 107 to Romania. Final boarding call, Flight 107 to Romania"
I sighed and put my book in my travel bag. That was my flight. My life after Hogwarts was about to begin and I was excited. The last two months had been terrible to say the least. I didn't really talk to anyone except my sisters, Roger, Ange and Allie. I couldn't work out why he never wrote, I couldn't work out why I never got a letter from him like Ange got from George. They weren't even together back then but he still wrote to her.
The day after I graduated I wrote to Charlie Weasley and requested an internship on the Dragon Reserve. Of course he accepted me right away. The day after that, I announced to my close friends and my family that I was leaving and now here I was. A week after graduating, going off to start working with Dragons.
It was my dream. I may have deviated from it slightly once upon a time, but here I was, boarding a plane (I hate portkeys over long distance) and leaving everything behind.
I might be bitter, but I had every right to be. I picked up my bag and my mind flickered slightly to Fred. I sighed and shook my head. He left first and now I was too.
I stepped up to the girl and handed her my ticket. "Off on a big adventure love?" she smiled.
"Something like that" I nodded with a smile.
"AVERY!" I heard my name being yelled from behind me. I knitted my eyebrows together and turned around.
"Oh Merlin..." I groaned and turned back around. "Do you think we could speed this up so I can get on that plane?" I asked her. She looked from me to the red-head dodging around people behind me.
"Do you know him honey?" The girl asked me, her mouth half open.
"Unfortunately, yes" I nodded. "He's my... well he's my boyfriend... ex-boyfriend?" I corrected, unsure what the hell we were. "It doesn't matter, point is I need to get on that plane NOW" I hissed.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" she nodded behind me.
"Avery, please wait..." I heard his voice and it pulled at my heart. I turned around slowly and my own mouth dropped open.
The person walking toward me wasn't the Fred I remembered. This one was tall, broad and grown up. His hair was shorter and he was wearing an actual suit. He was also about a half inch taller. His eyes though, they were the same sparkly forget-me-not that I loved.
"Fred, what are you doing here?" I asked as he slowed down to a walk. I folded my arms and looked at my nails. Mainly so i would have a heart attack from staring at him.
"Stopping you from leaving" He shrugged.
"Who told you?" I asked.
"Roe"
"Damn her" I muttered. He sighed and grabbed my hand. He bought it to his hand for a kiss.
"Why are you leaving?" He asked against my skin.
"Why am I leaving?" I repeated fiercely. I ripped my hand away from his face and scowled. "Why should you care if I leave or not?" His eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "You left me Fred. You flew away from the castle without so much as a goodbye. I woke alone and you didn't even wave as you left?" I stepped out of the line to let people keep boarding the plane. No one moved, they were too busy watching me and Fred. "You didn't even WRITE!" I threw my hands in the air, all the anger and frustration leaking out now he was here.
"We were busy setting up shop and..."
"Don't Fred. Just don't. You left me at school, you didn't even tell me what you were doing. You just... left" I shook my head. My hair fell around my face like a curtain. "George wrote to Angie every damn day. They weren't even together back then and he still wrote to her" I felt a sob escape my lips.
"I couldn't exactly tell you I was going could I?" He shrugged. "You would have tried to stop us, you might have..."
"Might have what Fred? Told someone? I wouldn't have done that and you know it. I wouldn't have stopped you even if I tried. You're a stubborn prick" I shook my head and picked up my bags. "I'm going to Romania, your brother's given me a job and – "
"I didn't write because I didn't know what to say. I didn't say goodbye because I know I wouldn't have been able to leave you" He said softly.
"Are you fucking kidding me? That's your excuse... that if you'd said goodbye you wouldn't have been able to leave? That's BULLSHIT!" I shrieked. People from other terminals were watching us now, apparently very interested in a lovers spat.
"Because I love you Avery. You were the one thing that would have kept me at that school"
"Fuck off Fred. You don't love me. You're a stubborn prick and you would have left no matter what. I'm going to Romania. You can't stop me" I shook my head and stepped up to the girl again. "Can I board the plane now? Please?" I gasped, on the verge of tears. "I really – "
I was cut off as he grabbed me, pulled me into him and pressed his lips against mine. "I'm not letting you leave. If I'm so stubborn, you're not leaving" He shook his head and kissed me again. "Avery Vanderbilt, I love you with all my heart. I always have. From when we were kids... to right now. I'm sorry I left you, but I was building a shop so I could have money to give us a good life" He looked right into my eyes left me breathless. "I love you" he murmured.
"Oh go with him girl!" the ticket girl let out an excited squeal. "I've never actually seen this happen in front of me!"
I threw a look at her and looked back at Fred. He was watching me, his blue eyes hopeful. The longer I looked into his eyes the quicker my annoyance and ager fizzled out.
"Once upon a time I fell in love without you, Fred" I smiled at him.
"I've always loved you" He shook his head and picked up my bags. "Always have, always will"
