RP: It can't wait Who: Bailey and Fred When: December 13, 2024: afternoon Where: The Burrow Warnings: language Summary: Bailey has a problem, and can't wait any longer to talk about it.
After hearing from Fred that he would speak to her at the slumber party, Bailey tried to put her situation to the back of her mind, concentrating on doing well on her exams and making it to the holidays. But the thought of not knowing where she was going to live for the next term was getting to be too much to handle, always creeping up on her at the last moment, and by Saturday night she'd had enough.
So Sunday morning she woke and sent Fred another owl. She asked him if they could go ahead and meet early, that she didn't want to wait until Mrs. Weasley's party to talk to him. Thankfully, he'd told her to come over, and right after lunch she hurried up to her room to get ready.
She must have changed her clothes five times before she was satisfied with what she was wearing, and after brushing her hair out. . . again, and making sure she looked just right, she grabbed Fred's Christmas gifts from where they were laying in the chair in her room and put them into her bag, slinging it over her shoulder and heading down to the fireplace.
The next thing she knew she was in the Burrow, dusting the soot off of her sweater, still trying to think of what she was going to say.
