Fred Weasley - too late.

it’s been 3 months since fred weasley started dating angelina johnson.

the corridors of hogwarts were crowded as usual, students wandering between classes while laughter echoed through the castle. you were walking alone, barely paying attention to where you were going, until you caught sight of two familiar figures ahead.

fred was walking beside angelina, his hand loosely intertwined with hers. they were talking and laughing together, looking completely comfortable in each other’s company.

you slowed your steps, watching them from a distance.

for a moment, you wondered what might have happened if you had been braver. if you had told fred how you felt before someone else had become the person standing beside him.

but you knew it was too late now.

you lowered your gaze, forcing a small breath through your lips as they passed by.

“i wish i’d confessed to you sooner.”

your voice was barely above a whisper, quiet enough that neither fred nor angelina heard you.

and you kept walking, pretending your heart hadn’t just broken a little.

you were walking through the crowded halls of hogwarts when you caught sight of them ahead. fred was beside angelina, laughing softly as they walked together, looking happier than you had ever seen him.

you slowed for only a moment, watching them from afar.

there was no bitterness in your expression, only a quiet ache you had learned to carry. you had spent months keeping your feelings to yourself, always thinking there would be a better time to say something.

there wasn’t.

now, angelina was the one beside him. angelina was the one who got to hear his laughter, walk beside him, and hold his hand.

you looked away before either of them could notice you staring.

some feelings didn’t disappear when they became impossible. they simply became something you had to keep to yourself.

and as fred and angelina disappeared around the corner, you continued walking in the opposite direction, carrying the weight of words you would never get the chance to say.
