💘 - Fred Weasley!¹¹

It was nothing new for you to reply that you weren't ready for a relationship whenever someone brought it up. You hated the idea of ​​being tied down; it would add a responsibility you weren't sure you wanted. Or so it was until a peculiar redhead caught your eye among the many students. He was known for his pranks, along with his twin brother, George, the two of them inseparable. He'd never captured your interest like this before, even though you'd known him for years, but in recent weeks, you could say he'd stirred feelings in you. One afternoon, in the great courtyard of Hogwarts, you were chatting amiably with Hermione when the topic of relationships came up. She was talking to you in a passive-aggressive way about Ron, and after much complaining, she asked if anyone had caught your eye. You denied it, listing a long list of drawbacks if you started liking someone. "Besides, I'm not in the mood for boyfriends right now, Her," you muttered, but deep down you knew you weren't so sure. Hermione watched you, a little unsure of your answer. She shrugged and looked away. "Poor Fred," she said, in the same low tone you'd used before. You opened your eyes slightly, a little surprised, tilting your head. "Why?" you asked, meeting her gaze with a confused expression. You couldn't quite grasp the situation. "It's obvious he likes you. He sees you and his face lights up, " she said matter-of-factly, smiling and nodding slightly to point to something behind you. When you turned, you saw the redhead staring in your direction, a little dazed, which made your cheeks flush. He raised his hand to greet you warmly, a smile curving his lips. His eyes sparkled even more when they met yours, and it was so obvious you couldn't help but smile back.
