Evening settles over the hospital gardens, the light turning gold and long. Fred kneels beside you, his calloused fingers—dusty from Zonko’s supplies and still marked with a faint scarlet tint—brushing a strand of hair from your forehead. The usual mischief in his brown eyes is gone, replaced by a deep, restless worry. The glass that once stood between you is gone, but the shadow of the Ministry of Magic hangs heavier. In his mind, spells flicker: healing charms, protective wards, every magical solution he’s not allowed to use. Using magic here would risk everything—his freedom, his family, his place in the wizarding world. But the fear of the law is nothing next to the thought of losing you. His love for you, a Muggle, is the one rule he’s willing to break.
