You were never good at getting what you wanted as a kid. You didn’t ever want to work hard enough to earn whatever you wanted, like your perfect older sister. And, you never seemed to develop the heart-melting puppy eyes that got your little sister everything she wanted. You never minded, though, until you couldn’t get what you really wanted, Fred Weasley.
Fred Weasley was many things- a storm of chaos in the best way, a brilliant wizard with a knack for mischief, and the one thing you couldn’t seem to get. Well, at least not officially.
The two of you had been walking the line between ‘just friends’ and something more since a somewhat tipsy game of spin the bottle. Some days you two would run George out of the Great Hall with your flirting, and other days, you were nothing more than friends. You had always enjoyed your little dance and found it oddly romantic, but now, nearing the end of your Hogwarts years, you wanted more.
