hiii, so this is my first imagine. i hope you like it âĄ
warnings: none, pure fluff. lower cases on purpose
you were mad. you really were. you had been waiting for this moment your whole life, and it had been snatched from you right in front of your eyes, but it's not like you could do anything about it.
the yule ball dance; since your mother told you about it, you were wishing for it to take place in hogwarts while you were studying there, and lucky for you it was going to happen.
but not everything turns out the way we want to, does it?
you were in love with fred weasley. he was in your same year, quidditch beater and prankster, alongside with his twin brother, of hogwarts. they also happened to be your closest friends. you hoped to go to the yule ball with him. his acts towards you made you think that he wanted something more than a friendship with you- the little touches, caring words... guess you just misread everything.
you had witnessed fred asking angelina, your closest friend, to the ball. she knew you had feelings for fred- hell, you even cried to her plenty of times because of him. so when he asked her and she said yes and even smirked at you -as if laughing at you- you couldn't take it anymore.
you got up from the table, gave your notebook to snape (whom snatched it from you with a nasty look) and left, without saying good bye to the twins or angelina, only saying good bye to hermione, harry and ron who were there too.
again, you were mad. you were bloody mad. if she liked fred, she could've told you, right? you could've respect it and put your feelings aside for her, even if that meant you had to forget fred and your feelings toward him. you felt like she had gone behind your back.
"y/n, wait" you heard a voice that made you stop, it was george.
"hey, what's up?" you said, trying to sound normal and not mad.
"you okay, darling? you left quickly"
you snorted "george, you know damn well why i left"
he half smiled "i'm sorry about it, love. i didn't know he was going to ask angelina. he never talked to me about it"
"it's all good, georgie. it's not like he had to come with me, he and i are just friends, i'm not mad at him anyways"
"who are you mad at then? angelina?" you nodded "why?"
"because" you sighed "she knows my feelings for fred, since the moment i knew i liked him i told her, and that was in our second year! and now she comes and accepts being his date for the ball? and she even smirked at me when he asked!! if she had feelings for him she should've told me, i'd have been understanding, even put my feelings aside but she didn't. for some reason i feel like i've been betrayed"
george could only look at you, feeling useless. he knew how much you loved his brother because yes, you might only say that you liked him, but you were deep in love for his twin. he was as confused as you were because he clearly remembers his brother nonstop talking about you, so when he saw fred asking angelina to be his date at the yule ball, he was nothing but surprised.
"go with me then" you shook your head, mumbling that you wanted no pity dates "love, it's not a pity date. i'm not interested in taking anyone to the yule ball but i really wanna go too, so let's just go together as friends"
you thought a bit about it "okay, then, let's go together"
you were having a good time at the yule ball. being george's date for the night was nothing but awesome. he was really trying to make you feel good and to make you have fun, even if the only thing that was on your mind was fred.
who speaking of, had been looking at you the whole night, almost paying no attention to angelina, his actual date.
you told george that you were going out at the balcony for a second. there were lots of people together in one place and you needed to breath. you left him next to lee jordan and his date.
a few minutes after you had gone out, you fell a presence. turning around, you saw the one and only fred weasley. and you could see he was mad. what about you didn't know.
"hey" you waved at him "you having fun?"
"i could ask the same. didn't know you were coming with george"
"didn't know you liked angelina" you attacked back. because that's how you felt, like he was attacking you, and what for?
"i don't like her" he said.
you frowned "why come to the dance with her then?"
he didn't say anything, only looked at his shoes, which he thought were pretty interesting at the moment "i don't know"
"you don't know?" you repeated "that's not a good excuse"
"i just... i wanted to ask you" your eyes were now wide open "but i heard that someone else already asked you and-"
"if someone else had asked me you would've known because you're my closest friend and i tell you everything"
"but you came with my brother"
"yes. as friends. because he didn't have anyone to ask, so we came together. i wanted you to ask me but-"
"wait" he stopped you "you wanted me to ask you?" how dense he was, were your thoughts. you thought you had made it obvious that you liked him. literally everyone in gryffindor knew. you nodded "you like me?"
"go on, make fun of me. you're already dating angelina which, by the way, she knows my feelings about you and she still went with you so it's good, no hard feelings, we can be fri-"
feeling his warm lips on you, you jolted a bit, surprised. he was kissing you. fred was kissing you.
"damn, woman, don't you ever stop talking? i basically just confessed to you and you still think i am dating angelina?" he chuckled "angelina likes me, and i know because she told me, but i don't like her and i was clear to her after i asked her. we came as friends, at least from my part. i like you. i really do, y/n"
you smiled, happy because just this morning, you were cursing him a thousand different ways, and now he was confessing. to you.
"please love, say something or i might just die of anxiety"
you laughed "i like you to, freddie"
his heart jumped at your soft voice, the way you looked at him and at the nickname.
"i'm yours" you said "as long as you're mine"
"always and forever, love" he said, kissing you, this time properly, and not rushed like the first time (that was to make you shut up)
