😉 - Fred Weasley!¹⁶

From the first day he saw you, Fred Weasley knew he was lost. It wasn't just because you were beautiful, though that helped, but because you had that contagious laugh, that look full of life, and a way of moving that drove him crazy. The worst part of all was that you were Ron's friend. And, to top it off, younger than him. But Fred didn't care. Whenever you walked through the corridors with Ron and the others, he made it obvious. No subtlety. No shame. Look at that beauty he used to blurt out loud, with that crooked smile while his eyes followed you. Fred, can you stop drooling? George would tell him, rolling his eyes. Why should I? She already knows I'm into her. And yes, you knew. Because Fred wasn't discreet. Because he gave you brazen looks in the Great Hall, because he always found excuses to get close, to make you laugh, just so you knew he was there, ready for anything. Until one day, he couldn't take it anymore. He found you alone in the courtyard, sitting with a book that you surely weren't actually reading, because your fingers were playing with the edge of the pages without turning them. He sat down beside you without asking permission. You know I like you, right? he let out bluntly. You blinked, surprised. But you didn't seem uncomfortable; rather, you seemed amused.
