The Unexpected

CHAPTER SEVEN: A DAY FULL OF SURPRISES

MAY

Fred Weasley´s Apartment in Knightsbridge, London

`Fred! RISE AND SHINE!´ Ron yelled shaking him wildly. `Wake up, bro! We have to eat breakfast!´ Fred just shoved him away with his pillow. He was saying something but Ron had no idea what it was. `What did you say?´

`Go away!´ he yelled, sitting up and then buried his face on his bed once more. `I´ll eat breakfast later!´

`No! You have to wake up now, whether you like it or not!´

`What the hell is your problem?!´ Fred snapped. He looked at his watch and then saw that it was only 9:00am. He sighed. `Ron, will you just let me sleep? Please? I really don´t have to wake up until-er-10:30! For heaven´s sake! My meeting is not until 11:30! An hour of more sleep is really a big deal for me these past few days---´ Ron, however, ignored him. He walked to his closet and then chose a pair of pants and a yellow shirt.

`Here!´ said Ron while throwing the pants and shirt to Fred. He walked to the window. `Now, go to the bathroom and take a bath! It´s a very nice day today..... very bright and sunny! WE ARE GOING OUT!´ He looked at Fred again and then frowned upon seeing him sleeping peacefully again.

`You are making this too hard for me, Weasley.´ He raised his wand and then said, `Wingardium Leviosa!´ A few seconds later, Fred began floating in the air towards the bathroom. Ron dropped him carefully in the bathtub and then filled it with water. Fred immediately woke up and then jumped out of the tub.

`Bloody hell?´ Fred yelled, looking annoyed and wet. Ron just grinned at him. `Fine! Now go away! I´ll be down in a few minutes!´ ===========================

Angelina Johnson´s Home in Kensington, London

`Down in the jungle where nobody goes,´ Lynden and Phillip sang while dancing. `There´s a great big gorilla, washing his clothes. With a rub-a-dub here and a rub-a-dub there, this is the way he washes his clothes.´ Angelina, Matilda and Brian clapped and moved their heads while watching them sing.

`Wow! My babies are so talented!´ Angelina said, looking very proud and happy after her kid´s little show, and then kissed them both. `And as a prize, we will go out later! After mama´s work!´ Lyn and Phil started jumping up and down, up and down and up and down again.

`Miss Angelina,´ Brian said. `I think that you should go now. You have to talk to someone, am I right? By the way, Lady Abby said that she´ll be waiting for you. She didn´t tell me where though.´

`Yes, that´s alright. We only meet at one place,´ said Angelina. `Come on, Lyn and Phil! Let´s go! Aunt Abby´s allergic to tardiness!´ ==========================

`Aunt Abby! Come on, Lyn and Phil!´ Angelina said. `You call her.´

`Aunt Abby! Aunt Abby!´ yelled the twins. `We are here!´ Lady Abby grinned upon seeing her beloved nephews.

`You two angels are forgiven for being late.´ Lady Abby said while looking down to them. She looked at Angelina who was wincing. `But you are not, Angelina Johnson!´

`Come on,´ Angelina whined. `Look, I want you to watch them carefully, alright?´

`Yes, yes! As if I´m going to let anything bad happen to these two!´ said her sister quickly. `Besides, I´m not the only one who will be looking after them. Their Nanny Leonora is coming and my boyfriend.´

`But, still!´ Angelina said. `You are responsible for them.´ She looked at her babies and said, `Now, you two behave. If you have a problem, make Aunt Abby call me. You understand me?´

`Yes, mama,´ said the twins. Angelina kneeled down to get a better view of her twins.

`Now, give mama a kiss, before I go.´ The twins hugged her and then kissed her. She kissed their hair and then walked off.

`Bye, mama!´ said Lady Abby, while lifting Lynden and Phillip on a chair. `Come on, you shout, "Bye mama!"´

`BYE MAMA!´ yelled the twins as they saw her walk off. Angelina waved and then blew them a kiss.

`BEHAVE, and I´ll see you later. Abby! You are responsible!´

`So, Lyn and Phil,´ said Lady Abby. `Hungry?´ ================================

`You like that?´ Lord Richard, Lady Abby´s boyfriend, asked the twins while pointing at the huge teddy bear.

`No,´ said Lynden. Lord Richard looked at his girlfriend and then carried Lynden in his arms.

`What do you want then?´

`Aythcream!´ Phillip yelled, now jumping up and down.

`Alright then, you two are the boss. Ice cream it is!´ They bought their ice cream from a nearby shop and then sat down on a table outside.

Lord Richard excused himself to go to the bathroom but stopped walking and just stared at a group of people sitting on the table nearby. He frowned and then looked at his girlfriend. A certain man with red hair caught his attention. ==================================

`Alicia!´ George said, licking his ice cream. `That man has been staring at our table for quite awhile now.´

`Who, who?´ Ginny asked, standing up to hear George clearly.

`Don´t be so obvious when you are looking at him, alright? 8:00, that´s where he is,´ Ginny looked at that direction.

`Ginny?!´George said, looking annoyed. `I said, don´t act too obvious. Do you speak English?´ Ginny just rolled his eyes.

`He´s walking towards us! He looks rich.´ Ginny hissed. `Towards you, George!´ George frowned. The man was just a few steps away from George.

`Um, may I help you?´ Alicia said, standing up. The man nodded at her politely and then looked at George again.

`Um, I´m so sorry if I´m disturbing you,´ the man said politely. `I see you have yourself a girlfriend. Next victim?´ George frowned.

`Well, yes,´ said George, looking at the sophisticated man as if he was dumb. `We´ve been together for a long time already. What do you mean next victim, you stupid great prat! With all do respect sir; I believe that my love life is none of your business. I don´t see the significance of you telling me this and I certainly don´t appreciate it. You are disturbing us.´

`Richard!´ they heard a lady with two kids yell. `Come here!´ The man just looked at her and then back to George again. Before George knew it, he has been hit on his face really hard. Alicia screamed while preventing George from hitting the ground, since he obviously lost his balance. His ice cream was now all over his face.

`RICHARD!´ the lady said. She ran to them and then grabbed Richard´s hand.

`What the hell was that for, you git!´ George yelled. `You disturb us and then you hit me?! You are one mental person!!!´ The man was still looking at him.

`That´s for my friend, Weasley!´ said the man, forcing himself to calm down. George regained his balance and then stood up. He walked towards the man who was being pulled by his wife, perhaps. The man struggled from his wife´s grip and walked towards him.

`I´M GOING TO HEX YOU!´ George yelled and then took out his wand, but Alicia grabbed it from him. They were looking at each other with death glares but stopped when they heard two small voices.

`Papa!´ the kids shouted and they were running towards them. George´s eyes softened upon seeing the two kids.

`You are lucky your kids are here,´ George said with gritted teeth. The man smirked.

`No, YOU are lucky,´ said the man. `We will see each other again, Fred Weasley.´ He carried the two kids who was struggling from him and then walked off. The two kids kept on yelling, `Papa! Papa! Papa! That´s my papa!´ George just stared at them and then rubbed his cheek.

`Is it big? Do I still have all my teeth?´ he asked. `He thought I was Fred. This can´t be good.´ ===============================

PLAN A

`Angelina,´ Prince William said, while walking to "Lyn and Phil". `Come on! You should really increase your price. You should let me pay. You are now the owner of one of the best restaurants in the UK. Business is business!´

`Wills,´ she said, looking at him. `You are one of my friends. You are actually one of my best friends. You were always there when I needed someone. This is the least thing that I can do. Please don´t take this away from me.´ Prince William frowned.

`But ever since you opened up that restaurant, I have been eating there for free!´ Angelina chuckled.

`Not actually,´ she said, grinning. `You are like my walking billboard! You tell all your elite friends to eat here and that made me famous. Draco, Harry, Ron, Percy and Blaise are doing the same thing--- so, technically, we are just square. I give you free food and service, you give me fame. "Lyn and Phil" appears on the magazines because Royals, Commercial models, Upper class people, etc. eat here!´ This made Prince William chuckle.

`We are here!´ said Angelina. `Let´s go in, shall we?´ ===========================

`Hmmmm!´ Fred said, who was in his Ralph Lauren yellow shirt and pale blue jeans. `Good food! Why didn´t you tell me about this restaurant sooner?!´

`I don´t know,´ Harry said, who was in his Ralph Lauren red shirt and black pants. `Good food, eh?´

`Oh yeah!´Fred said. He smiled teasingly. `Oi!Malfoy! You are here! I see those girls are staring at you! Why don´t you smile at them?!´ Draco Malfoy, who was in his white racing jacket and matching pants with his silver Oakley sunglasses, shrugged.

`Hello to you, too, Weasley!´ Draco said, while sitting on a chair across him. `Smile at them, you say? I can´t.´

`Why is that, bighead?´ Ron asked, taking a sip of his orange juice. He is the new spokesperson and commercial model for Ralph Lauren. He noticed the group of girls who was looking at him. He smiled at them politely and then placed his hand over Fred´s shoulder to flash them his wedding ring.

`If I do, they might die. They already look as if they are going to die right now,´ he said glancing at the group of girls. `I´m not even doing anything yet.´ They all made a face which made them all laugh.

`Hey, listen to this,´ Blaise, who was wearing a blue Lacoste shirt and denim jeans, said looking serious. `I was just doing some thinking---´

`What kind of thinking?´ Draco asked, looking curious.

`Well, what if we all pretended that we are ugly,´ said Blaise. Everybody looked at him as if he was crazy. `Would anybody believe us?!´ They all burst out laughing.

`Good one, Blaise!´ Fred yelled and then continued eating.

`Where is she?´ Harry hissed.

`Fred´s leaving at 11:00!´ Ron hissed.

`She´ll be here,´ Blaise said. `And---´

`Here she is---´ Draco said upon seeing Angelina arrive with Prince William. Fred was too preoccupied with the food. Prince William looked at them and then winked. Angelina was wearing a lilac floral strapless dress that goes down to her mid-thigh, with thong sandals and a Louis Vuitton purse. Her wavy hair was down and was held back by a white stretch hair band.

`You better hope that this work,´ Draco mouthed to him. Prince William, however just gave him an encouraging smile. `Good choice of clothing, by the way, Angelina.´

`Good morning, ma´am,´ said the receptionist and then nodded politely, `Your highness.´ Angelina smiled at her and said, "Good morning," as well. Prince William did the same thing. Angelina saw Harry, Draco, Blaise, Ron and some redheaded boy sitting on the table. She waved at them and then walked towards their table.

`New customer!´´ Angelina thought.

`It´s time,´ Harry hissed. Blaise got his cue and then dropped his glass on the table.

`OH MY GOD!´ Blaise said, looking at Angelina. `Is that girl who I think she is?!´ Fred stopped eating and then looked at him.

`What? Who?´ Fred asked, looking intrigued. `Who?´Draco just smirked and then muttered something under his breath and then pointed his wand to Angelina. A few minutes later, Angelina felt soft and cool air surrounding her.

`What the hell?´ Angelina said, looking confused. Ron grinned.

`Cool, wind effect, Draco!´ he whispered. Angelina, however, kept on walking towards them despite the cool breeze that she was feeling. A customer said `Hi!´ to her and they ended up chatting for quite awhile.

`Fred,´ Harry said, pointing at Angelina´s direction. `I think that you want to see this.´ Fred rolled his eyes and then turned his head to the direction that Harry was pointing. He was about to look back at his friends, but turned his gaze back to the beautiful lady, immediately. He just stared at her. He felt that she was the only person in that restaurant. Her hair and dress was moving through the soft breeze. She was keeping it away from her face with her hand. The group of girls who seem to be giggling because they saw Ron and Draco was pretty noisy, but he didn´t hear them. He looked mesmerized.

`It´s Angelina,´ he thought. `She´s still beautiful. Oh shit! What should I do? Should I talk to her? Should I just leave? It´s been four years, Fred! For heaven´s sake! You should be over her! You are with Lorreana now! Damn it!´ He grabbed his black Oakley sunglasses and then put it on. When he looked back at his four friends, they were all grinning mischievously. `I´ll do anything to wipe those grins off their faces!´

`What the hell?´ Fred said, looking annoyed. `Why are you smiling at me like that? Anyway, I really enjoyed the food but I have a meeting and I must go.´ He stood up. `Oh, God! I don´t know what to do?! I´ll just say Hi, maybe. That wouldn´t hurt. What if she doesn´t want to talk to me?! Urghhh! This is driving me insane! I shouldn´t have come here!´ Dracopanicked when he said that he was leaving. He gestured for Prince William to do his thing. Fred snapped out of his thought when he heard someone calling his name.

`Fred Weasley?!´ Prince William shouted, obviously trying to get Angelina´s attention. `Angelina! Look! It´s Fred!´ Fred turned around reluctantly and then grinned. Angelina stopped talking to the lady and excused herself politely. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then turned around. `So, they weren´t kidding after all,´ she thought.

`Windsor!´ he yelled back. `So how are you?´

`It´s so nice to see you again, Weasley!´ Prince William said. `Angelina, it´s Fred!´

`Why do you have to do that, William!´ he thought, but smiled. He looked at Angelina who was now two steps away from him. `Hey, Angelina! How are you? Nice restaurant, eh! Very good food!´ Angelina smiled at him, awkwardly. She grabbed the nearest glass that she could grab and then drank its contents in just one gulp. Ron chuckled. She swallowed hard and then looked at him.

`Wow, he looks good! Yellow suits him well,´ Angelina thought, upon seeing him with his Oakley sunglasses. `Oh, thanks! I´m glad you like it,´ she said.

`Fred,´ Prince William said. `Angelina owns this restaurant. It´s one of the best in the whole of UK!´

`You own this?´ Fred said, looking amazed. `Wow, I wouldn´t really wonder. You were a good cook even back when we were---I mean---you know!´ Angelina smiled. `Oh God! Why did I have to say that?!´ he thought, nearly slapping himself. He snapped out of his thoughts when he saw two little boys running and shouting. They were wearing identical denim overalls, although the other one wore it with a blue shirt and the other one wore it with a red shirt. They both have small backpacks on their back and identical baseball caps, worn sideways. He looked at them and to Angelina.

`Mama!Mama!´ the twins shouted. He watched Angelina bend down to her children and then give them a kiss. The kids hugged their mother and then placed their little arms around her neck. Angelina made a choking sound.

`Aww,´ she said. `Lynden, Philip, you are strangling mama. You are back early. Where´s your aunt?´ Philip let go and then hugged her thigh instead, but Lynden didn´t. Angelina carried Lynden and then looked at Fred, while holding Philip´s head.

`Sorry, mama!´ they said. Fred just looked at them and then he felt like someone just punched him hard in the stomach.

`So, she´s married?!´ he thought. He forced himself to smile at them, `I´m so sorry, but I really have to get going. I still have a meeting. It´s really nice to see you, again. Bye!´ Angelina just looked at him as he walked off.

`Alright, this didn´t work,´ Harry said. `Let´s move to Plan B!´=======================

PLAN B and C [2:00pm]

`William?´ Fred asked. `What are we doing here? I can´t stay. I have to talk to someone.´

`That´s right! You have to talk to Angelina! We are here to talk to Angelina,´ Prince William said, while playing the piano. `YOU TWO HAVE TO TALK.´

Fred frowned and then said, `WHY?´ Prince William just looked at him. `What is going on?´ They heard the door of the sitting room creak and then saw Angelina. Her eyes widened with fear and then immediately closed the door. Fred couldn´t help but chuckle. ==========================

`SHIT!´ Angelina hissed. `Fred´s in there! I look like trash right now!´ She just went jogging with Lady Maritoni, her mugglebestfriend actually a squib, to release her stress. `Help me! I don´t know how to tell him! I wasn´t looking forward to seeing him this afternoon! I´m going to kill William Windsor!!!´

`The first thing that you should do is,´ said Lady Maritoni, eyeing her up and down, `change your clothes.´ Angelina looked at her and then murmured something in his wand. A few seconds later, she was dressed in a blue dress that shows off her perfect legs. Her friend raised her eyebrows.

`He thinks that my legs are great,´ Angelina said quickly. She opened the door slowly and then stuck his head out. `Hi! I didn´t know that you were coming over---´ Fred looked at her again.

`Damn it! Stop looking at her! Focus on something else, you prat!´ he thought. He smiled and then said, `Hi! I´m sorry if I´m disturbing you---William and Harry [Prince] here said that he forgot something. I´ll be waiting out---Harry? Ron? Blaise? Draco? PERCY? What are you doing here? George? Why is everybody here? What is going on?´

`I don´t know?!´ George said, looking confused. `Ron just called me and told me to come here.´ He saw Lord Richard and then immediately took his wand out. `Don´t you dare touch me, Mister! I swear, I´ll hex you! Fred, you stay away from this man! He wants to murder you! Angelina?! You live here?!´ Fred looked confused.

`What? Why?´ he asked. `I don´t even know him!´

`You are not Fred Weasley?´ Lord Richard said. `There are two of you? Angelina? He´s got a twin?! Bloody hell!´

`I´m sorry, Richie. I guess I forgot to tell you that little detail....´ Angelina said, wincing. `Look, let´s all calm down!´ They heard two little voices coming from the hallway.

`Mama!´ the twins yelled once more. `Magic Island! Let´s go---´ but they stopped screaming and just stared at George. George felt uncomfortable but stared back at them. He looked at Fred. The twins´ eyes twinkled upon seeing George. Fred looked at them, looking very intrigued and confused, and then to George. Fred sat down on the chair and ran his hands through his hair. Everybody just watched. The twins smiled and then walked towards George, who was utterly confused. George stared at them all and then looked down to the two small boys in front of him. THEY SEEM TO KNOW WHO HE WAS. They raised their little arms, asking him to carry them and he did.

`Hey,´ George said, looking at Alicia and then to Fred and Angelina, whose eyes started to water. `What´s your name?´

`My name is Lynden and this is Phillip---Johnson,´ Lynden said while hugging George.

`We have the same middle name,´ said Phillip, while putting his small hand on George´s cheek. `Mama, told us that we are named after you.´

`After me?´ George asked, looking at Fred who was watching him with an indescribable expression. `Me? As in, George?´ Angelina walked towards them and took off their baseball caps. A flaming red hair appeared. Their eyes were also identical to his and Fred´s.

`Oh my God,´ Ginny gasped. `Rachelle´s not the oldest. George and Angelina?´ Lynden saw Fred sitting with his mouth open. `George and Angelina?! Is that why she left? George and Angelina?!´ Fred thought.

`No,´ said Phillip. `Our middle name isn´t George. It´s Frederick. I´m Phillip Frederick Johnson and he is Lynden Frederick Johnson.´

`Look, Phillip!´ Lynden said, grinning. `There´s another one! We have two papas!´ George looked at Angelina and then to Fred, who fell off his chair. Fred stood up and then looked at Angelina.

`I get to have the other one!´ Phillip yelled.

`No Lyn and Phil,´ said Angelina. `You only have one papa. That´s George---Uncle George. He´s like Uncle Ron and Uncle Percy.´ She looked at Fred, now staring at the twins, and then said, `That´s Fred Weasley---and he is your father.´ Fred´s mouth fell open and then started blinking his eyes. He swallowed hard. George looked at him and then walked towards him.

`These angels belong to you then,´ George said, while handing him both Lynden and Phillip at the same time. `I guess you don´t have to join the fight over Rachelle now---since you have two---´ He smiled at Fred. Fred just stared at Lynden and Phillip´s face, holding them both in his arms.

`You do look like me,´ he said to the two of them, looking at their green eyes that were identical to his. He managed to smile despite his shock. `I didn´t know. I´m---´ Phillip hugged him while Lynden placed his small palms on his face. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment. It sure felt good. The twins looked very amazed. They are now, finally, touching their father---not just staring at his photos. He opened his eyes again and then looked at Angelina. He turned his gaze back to his boys. `Why don´t you go downstairs and play? Mama and I have to talk.´ He looked at Angelina, who felt like disappearing that very moment, `You do know that we have to talk, right?´ They all watched as the twins waved goodbye. Fred looked at her again.

`So, how old are they?´ Fred asked, looking at her with a sore expression on his face, which is very NOT Fred. He felt extremely stupid that he didn´t even know how old his kids were. His tone terrified her, as well.

`Almost 3 years old on July.´ Angelina said, looking down. `Fred---´

`Is that why you left?´ He asked, breathing deeply. `Damn it! Why didn´t you tell me?! And you!´ He was looking at Ron, Blaise, Harry, Percy and Draco. `How on earth did you manage to keep this from me?! YOU DON´T EVEN CARE HOW I FEEL!´

`How dare you talk about your feelings!´ Lord Richard yelled, now walking towards him. `You have no idea what this girl went through! She was almost disowned by her family and your kids were almost aborted, did you know that?! NO! If it wasn´t for her, there will be no Lynden and Phillip right now! Angelina begged her parents so she can keep them! How dare you scream at her!´ Fred looked at Angelina again.

`I wrote to you, Angelina, and I waited, but I got nothing! You told me that you were just on vacation and after a few weeks they were telling me to get a new chaser because you´ve moved! All you had to do was tell me! Didn´t you receive, even just one letter?!´

`You didn´t want them, Fred!´ Angelina said now standing up. `I asked you!´

`What the hell are you talking about?! You didn´t tell me anything about it!´

`I asked you if you wanted children and you said no!´

`Damn it, Angelina! In short, you asked me a question but you didn´t tell me about it! What the hell did you expect me to say? Sure, Angelina! I want to have kids, this very moment?! I was 17, for heaven´s sake! I was 17! YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT THE SITUATION!´ He ran his hands through his hair.

`Well, I didn´t want to hear you say,´ Angelina said with watery eyes staring at him, `NO..... I didn´t think that I´d be able to handle that---´ Fred looked away upon seeing her cry. He didn´t like to see girls cry. It nearly killed him seeing Angelina crying like that. His face softened. He didn´t know why, but something made him walk to her. He reached out for her face to wipe her tears away. He breathed and then took her in his arms. He was hugging her and stroking her back.

`I´m sorry,´ Fred said calmly. `I shouldn´t have screamed at you. I´m sorry. I didn´t mean to---´

`It´s alright,´ Angelina said while savouring the familiar scent of Fred Weasley. `I´m sorry, too.´ Fred pulled away from her a little and then just stared at her beautiful brown eyes. He swallowed hard, trying his best to brush off the idea of kissing her. He sighed and then looked away.

`You are with Lorreananow,´ he said to himself. `Always remember that.´
