This came from a wonderful request from my dear @kellyxo1, as always thank you so much for your wonderful request, hope this is okay!🖤
Tumblr media
The air in the stuffy old Manor House was unbearably cold and stale, much like the family that resided there. The home of the Malfoy family, much like their surname, was figure of stature and tradition, a paragon of social status that oozed wealth and importance on account of their pure-blood status. Each member of the family had been selected by the sorting hat upon their arrival at Hogwarts to enter into the house of Slytherin, a fact the family was most proud of, another ode to their pure-blood roots and continued beliefs. Every malfoy had followed in the footsteps of the previous generation, marrying into other pure-blood families as to keep the bloodline strong, fraternising with equally powerful families that held the same beliefs, each out to gain and maintain status in the wizarding community.
"He's younger than me!" You shriek, you left arms lifting into the air as you look upon the stiff and unemotional faces of your parents who stand by the edge of your bed, delivering the news.
"Blaise is a fine boy and he shall make a fine husband," your father says, as if he truly believed the words that he was speaking. "He's from a long line of Slytherin's, a good student and a promising young wizard."
"He's a complete twat," you argued, taking a seat on the edge of your bed, completely exasperated by the conversation you were forced to endure with your parents.
"It's only two years difference," your mother says, trying to remain at least diplomatic as your father gave you a thunderous look for your selection of language.
"He's a friend of Draco's! It's archaic and barbaric." You added, trying to express your disgust at the very thought but it was immediately apparent that your parents did not share in your distaste, nor understand it.
"Young lady!" Your father hissed in displeasure, the veins on his head looking fit to burst.
"I just don't understand why I have to marry someone with status," you say, in a calm and somewhat emotionless voice, realising that your emotive reaction was doing no favours here. "I don't understand why I have to be married at all, much less to somewhat that wasn't my choice."
"We want the best for you," your mother adds, her hands clasped in front of her as her gaze flicks between you and your father. It's a blatant lie, a way of manipulating you into following their path but it wouldn't work, not this time.
"Then let me make my own choices," you retort, not meeting their eyes.
"So you can run back to that blood traitor?" Your father all but screams, his temper exploding as he throws his cane, narrowly missing the house elf that was tending to the paintings in the hallway just outside of your door. He storms off in a flurry of black robes, almost growling under his breath as you hear his heavy footsteps marching angrily away.
The mention of Fred makes your stomach roil dangerously, filling you with hatred for your family, for the life you'd been born into. You don’t know how they came to know about your situation, but you detested their use of it against you. The anger dissipates slightly as you watch your mother perch on the side of your bed, hands still folded in her lap as she looks at you with a conflicted expression.
"We just want what's best," your mother repeats but you interject, frustrated by her attempt to keep pushing the matter you were so obviously not open to discussing.
"You had your chance! You chose to marry for money and status," you replied, a harsh tone to your voice that you'd seldom used at your mother.
"I didn't have a choice!" She says, her voice coming out like a hiss as her resolve drops so that you finally see her fraying nerves.
You pause, taking a moment to really see your mother as a young woman that was in your position so many years ago.
"If it's so bad why would you want that for your own daughter?" You ask, trying to appeal to her though your emotional delivery, trying to reach out for that young woman who must have felt exactly how you did right now.
She refuses to meet your eyes, nor answers your question. You realise very quickly that you're getting nowhere and never would. All emotions exit you as you look upon your mother feeling no love or affection, nor receiving any in return.
As you looked upon the vision of your mother and thought of your fathers reaction, you felt an empty void of emotion where love should be. The chasm of happy memories was empty, at least when it came to your family.
Right then you thought of Molly and Arthur, of the whole family and the strong, foundational outpouring of love in which the family was built around. Two people that loved one another deeply, building a life and a family, creating a warm and loving home for their children to thrive in.
They'd be celebrating Christmas right now, with gorgeous homemade food and handmade presents, surrounded by love and laughter and maybe the occasional cross word.
Poor in wealth but rich with love; and you would always chose that over this.
"I refuse to marry Blaise Zabini or any other pure blood suitor you deem acceptable," you say matter of factly, your voice completely void of emotion as you made your point clear. "I'll make my own choices in life. You may not have been strong enough to resist the pressure but I am, I refuse to be forced into a loveless marriage and live out a miserable existence like you."
"You're no daughter of ours," your mother sneers. "No. I'm not."
Later that night, you lay in your dark and dreary bedroom, looking around at the bare, lifeless walls that held no sentiment nor icon of your personality, your life. You thought of Fred and George's bedroom and how cluttered it must be, with all their quidditch memorabilia and Weasley products lying around. They'd have bedspreads that had been knitted for them, fresh sheets that smelt like their home and little trinkets around the room that had been collected throughout their lives. You had none of that, even down to the colourless and scentless sheets on your bed. You thought of Fred often, the boy you loved more than anything in the world. The boy that had seen past your surname and your Slytherin placement and still loved you regardless. He hadn't been prejudiced or hateful, nor had he used you to gain status in the Wizarding community. He simply loved you because he loved you.
Loved.
Memories flashed behind your eyes of happier times, your relationship strengthening over the years until you were completely infatuated with each other, planning your futures in hushed whispers and promising secrets. You could be yourself around Fred, completely unashamed of the things you'd believed for so long to be personal failures and character faults.
You'd been together since your fifth year, unable to deny the attraction any longer. You'd started sneaking around, stolen kisses in the secret passageways, sneaking out after hours, notes slipped into pockets, fingers grazing as you walked past eachother pretending the other didn't exist. You secretly cheered for each and every hit he'd administer on the quidditch pitch, every dive and skilful deflection of the bludger. Though you couldn't cheer or support him outright, you always kept a little something on you in Gryffindor red that you both knew meant that you were there for him.
After a while, you told your small group of friends and Fred told his, including his siblings. There were tensions at first, of course there was, but after seeing how good for each other you were, of how happy you were together, the grievances quickly quietened.
His friends became yours too, a real and honest group of friends that too could rely on, share with and care for in return.
You didn't have to hide anymore, at least not with them. But Slytherins much like their name were mostly all vicious snakes, with sharp tongues and deceitful tendencies. You couldn't let them know, couldn't allow them to spoil the singular good thing you had in your life and so for the most part, your relationship remained hidden to the wider school.
It was exciting at first, rebelling against the restrictive and domineering upbringing you were forced into. You weren't like your parents or Draco, or any members of your family really. You were certainly no deatheater and didn't hold the same disgusting values that they did. Blood trainers, mud bloods, muggleborns or muggles, everyone should have the right to be treated the same, to live their life without fear or prejudice.
Fred knew, he knew you weren't one of them, that you were better, different than your name but also that you couldn't step out of line for fear of the repercussions you'd face. Or at least, you thought he understood.
Your seventh year at Hogwarts, your last. The last hurdle to get through before you could truly be your own person and break away from the chains of being a Malfoy. You had a plan, carefully and slowly formulated for years for the eventual day you'd be your own person and free to make your own choices, leaving your family behind. Your world would gain colour and warmth instead of the cold and monochrome world you felt you loved in. Only, it wouldn't happen now, at least not as you always planned it.
Things had been going so well, you were on track to ace your NEWTS, your relationship with Fred was almost blissful and with everything happening behind the scenes, it kept your parents busy and mostly out of your way. But then it all started to crack when Fred became Fred up of sneaking around, becoming paranoid and suspicious of your true intentions. You'd tried your hardest to squash these intrusive thoughts, to calm his nerves and to show him just exactly how much you wanted him but for so many reasons you couldn't be open about it. He'd face repercussions too, not just you. But he didn't see it that way, said he didn't care, that he just wanted to be able to be in love without having to hide it.
The last nail in the proverbial coffin came when Umbridge turned up and tried imposing her disgusting views upon the students, altering the curriculum and moving in favour of the deatheaters under the guise of ministry control. You'd joined Dumbledore's Army without a scone thought, knowing it was the right thing to do. The only Slytherin who was invited to join, their trust in you appreciated. But then Umbridge had formed the inquisitorial squad and you'd never felt a more painful divide in your life. Your younger brother had proudly joined, sadistically enjoying the power he was bestowed with. The danger of being discovered , found to be a traitor and the consequences of that were almost enough to make you quit the DA, but you persevered with increasingly fraying nerves.
You were stressed, tormented by the divide in your life and the conflicting expectations of you with no outlet to express your frustrations.
So you did what you had to do and fought harder to keep your relationship a secret, to keep the one good thing in your life away from the dementor-like happiness stealing of your family. The Christmas holidays were coming up and your anxiety was peaking at having to spend an extended amount of time away from your boyfriend and friends and have to go back to that dreary manor with your even drearier family. Fred could tell that something was up with you, that you were unhappy, tense and quiet but he never stopped to read between the lines, to see the big picture. Instead, his insecurities began to plague him again until one day you both snapped.
"I just don't understand why we still have to hide!" He says with a frustrated growl, pinching the area between the bridge of his nose and his eyebrows.
"Because I can't be without you!" You say back, voice raising to a dangerous level as you become irritated at having the same conversation over and over again. "If my family find out that's it, they'll force me to stop dating you, lock me away. I'll never be able to leave then."
"So what, I'm just a part of your plan? A stepping stone for you to break away and then as soon as you're free you can throw me away? Thanks for that mate, sorry to using you and all," he mocks, only furthering your anger that you're painfully trying to repress.
"Using you? You think that's what this is? You think you're just a pawn for me, even after two years of loving you?"
"You tell me," he says, eyes dark.
"Unbelievable," you say under your breath, closing your eyes as you take a seat on one of the wooden crates down in the passageway between the staircases and Honeydukes, your regular spot.
"Or are you embarrassed by me, is that it? The poor, scruffy Weasley boy that fell for the rich, beautiful Malfoy. The prophet would have a field day, wonder if they'll make us into a film," he rants, a vicious side appearing in his tone. "The deatheater and the peasant."
"How dare you!" You say, standing up in a fit of rage, squaring up to him like you'd never done before; the insult he'd so readily dished out feeling like a blast to the heart. "I'm no more a death eater than you are you prick! You think I'm embarrassed of you? I think you're ashamed of me, ashamed that you fell for the bad seed, the villain. I think you can't stand that I'm a Malfoy and you know it. My surname bothers you much more than your's bothers me."
"Yeah maybe it does."
Silence. His words are met with sheer silence, except for the pounding of your breaking heart. I'm your worst nightmares you'd never expected those words to fall from his lips, for him to admit the thing you'd been fearing the most since your crush of him started to bloom. You were tainted goods, a person that tried her hardest to be good that would always be haunted and spoiled by her name.
"No, no sweetheart I didn't mean, I don't think that," he began backtracking, realising that he'd gone way too far this time. "It makes me crazy that I can't shout from the bloody roof that you're mine no matter how much I want to. I don't care that you're a... Malfoy," he says, reaching out for you to hold you close, knowing that he was hanging by a thread here.
You're quiet for a moment as you take in his words, unsure of how to proceed.
"Maybe you're right, about it all," you paused. "But if you wanted me to believe all that, you should have said my surname with less disgust."
You turned around walked away, ignoring his calls, barely holding yourself together until you made it back to your dormitory and finally allowing yourself to sob. You should have known you could never be happy, it was ridiculous to think that anyone could ever get past the fact that you were born to be bad.
The week that followed before the holiday was sheer torture. You gathered sympathetic looks front your friends, or rather Fred's friends but were unable to get any actual comfort as you couldn't fraternise with the social enemy.
Fred however, hadn't spared you a single glance since that evening in the tunnel, the fight that had ended your relationship, or so it seemed. He went back to pretending you didn't exist, believing your harsh words all to easily. He'd said things on his side too but you thought, stupidly, that you'd be able to explain that you were simply retaliating. Apparently he wouldn't give you a chance to explain.
"Maybe you're right, about it all."
Those words haunted you, cut you deeper than any splinching ever could. If only you'd pushed down your anger, never said those words, he'd still be yours. But now he wasn't.
Christmas break was miserable, even more so than usual as you sat alone in your bedroom, physically and mentally distanced from any sense of company.
You though of Fred often, wondering what he was up to, wondering if he was happy. You hoped his dad was okay after hearing through the grapevine about his attack. You hoped that even if it was just a little, that he was missing you.
When you got back to school, you were just as miserable and separated from your peers as you were at home. The friendship group you'd built up of good people still have you distanced smiles and sympathetic glances but you felt the distance more than ever. It lasted for a few days before you'd had enough, completely depleted and in need of something good back, you needed Fred. You tried to think of ways to get him alone, to explain but you couldn't think of anything. You sat in the Great Hall, completely separated from your Gryffindor friends and sat between two of the most bearable Slytherins you could find, trying to ignore the boasting and mockery your brother was bestowing a little further up the table.
It makes me crazy that I can't shout from the bloody roof that you're mine no matter how much I want to.
You looked around you, considering your options. It wasn't a rooftop per se, but it would do.
You climbed up on the table, unfazed by the cries of outrage of the people around you as you ascended, trying to be mindful of the plates and glasses on the table. Draco shouts at you to get down, what are you doing, but much like always, you ignore him. The commotion began pulling people's attention towards you but you knew you had to make it quick because the faculty and teachers were starting to notice.
"I have something to say," you said, projecting your voice until you were certain you’d be heard across the hall. “I’ve been hiding something, for so long, something that never should have been hidden in the first place. I was scared and stupid. I’m a Malfoy, a Slytherin… but I’m completely and hopelessly in love with a Gryffindor.” You look up to where Fred is watching you with wide eyes, the first hint of a smirk tugging at his lips. Your eyes quickly flick over to George who is beaming at you, enjoying the demented display you were putting on, encouraging you to continue before you lost your nerve.
“Fred Weasley I’ve loved you since that bloody third year Quidditch match when George hit that bludger at Snape and you winked at me for laughing. You told me that we didn’t have to hide, that you’d shout from the rooftops, well this is the best I could do considering.”
Fred makes his way to you quickly, sensing that the teachers were on their way to inevitably punish you.
“You’re bloody insane woman,” he says with a laugh, unfazed by the entire hall watching you as he holds out his hand for you to come down. You smile at him, so happy to see him smile at you again, to hear his voice.
“Y/n Malfoy! Get down, get down! Detention!”
Instead of helping you down, Fred suddenly seizes your hand and uses you to pull himself up until he was also stood on top of the Slytherin table, cackling at the groans of the other slytherins around you.
“Mr Weasley, detention!”
“More time to spend with you,” he shrugs, smiling as he bends down to kiss you wildly in the middle of the hall as cheers erupt around you, making you both laugh into the kiss.
“It really doesn’t bother you that I’m a Malfoy?” You ask, suddenly bothered by what he’d said before as you pull away slightly. His hand holds your cheek as he smirks, shrugging his shoulders.
“Not gonna be a Malfoy for much longer, I plan on making you a Weasley as soon as possible.”

part one
CROSS-POSTED TO AO3
You refused to cry as you stomped back to your shop. Fred could do whatever he wanted. It wasn’t like the two of you were together or anything. He just flirted with you like crazy and you developed a massive crush on him. 
And of course, the girl Fred was kissing was gorgeous. You couldn’t get her face out of your mind. Clear, gorgeous dark skin and eyes, black hair in a braided ponytail that looked effortless, and a tall figure that looked like she was meant to be a model for Quidditch robes. 
You didn’t know how you even thought you could pull someone like him. Fred was gorgeous and strong and funny, and you were just…well, you. Not anything special. 
You swore as you stepped into a massive puddle near your shop. Tears were beginning to prick your eyes, but you blinked them away. You would not cry over a man you knew not even twenty-four hours. 
And it would be better if it didn’t work out, you thought. You were going to be very busy with your shop once it opened, and you wouldn’t have time for any sort of relationship. It would be an absolute logistical nightmare, and you had to focus on your business. 
You nodded to yourself as you stepped inside your shop, decorated with candles, fairy lights, and plants. This was where you belonged. This was the important thing, not some stupid boy you met once. 
*
MAGICAL HERBS AND HEALING GRAND OPENING!!!
You smiled to yourself as you lowered your wand and took in the exterior of your shop. Everything looked perfect. The plants were in place, the widow displays were shining, and best of all, the banner hung front and center, inviting anyone and everyone to come in. 
People were beginning to trickle into Diagon Alley for some early morning shopping, so you rushed inside your shop and flicked the sign from open to closed. You bounced on your heels as you did some final checks to make sure that everything was in place.
You had already checked about seven times, but there wasn’t any harm in one more, was there? 
Soon enough, you didn’t have time to check anything, too busy ringing up the barrage of customers who entered your store. The line was spread throughout the shop, and you couldn’t stop smiling as your products and potions flew off the shelves. 
Your dreams were coming true. Everything was running smoothly, the customers were marveling at the aesthetics of your shop, and you’d gotten many promises to come back.
But the day couldn’t stay perfect forever, and your eyes widened as a familiar face entered the shop. You couldn’t help but notice Fred’s handsome face and body, but you cursed yourself. You would not be thirsting for a taken man.
Attempting to look as busy as possible, you straightened the boxes behind you and fussed with the register. You could feel his stare on your back, and it took every ounce of your will not to turn.
He is a taken man. He has a girlfriend. 
And he is still staring at you.
After a generous amount of time, Fred cleared his throat. You sighed, closing your eyes for a moment, and finally began to turn around. As slowly as humanly possible. 
“That excited to see me, huh?”
You ignored him.
“And what are you looking for today sir?”
His eyes widened. “Sir? You haven’t forgotten my name already, have you?”
Taken man. Taken man. Taken man.
This was going to be an exercise in self-control.
“Just-” you paused. “Come on, Fred-”
“I knew you remembered-”
“This isn’t a great time-”
“Well then tell me when is,” Fred said. “I’d be glad to arrange a date.”
Why did he have to say these things?
“Are you really going to make me do this now?” you asked, anger coloring your tone. “It's opening day, and I’d really rather you not ruin it.”
“Ruin it?” he asked, dumbfounded. “What do you mean?”
“You know what? Fine,” you snapped. “Come here after closing. We can talk then. I have customers to help, and I’m sure you do too.”
Fred’s eyebrows were scrunched together, and his mouth pulled into a frown. “I-” he paused when he looked at your face, and a defeated expression appeared on his face. “Okay.”
You stared at him as he left, and a part of you wondered if you’d hallucinated the whole thing. He seemed so earnest, like he actually wanted to talk to you. Like you were important, not some other girl he wanted to have on the side. 
But you couldn’t think like that. He probably had some other ulterior motive.
You turned to the next customer in line. “Hi, how can I help you today?”
*
You had to give him credit, Fred was at your shop door at six pm sharp. You tried to ignore him for a while, but he eventually caught your eye as you wiped down the counters.
He gave you a big smile as you opened the door, and part of you wanted to melt. His smile was so bright and full of ardent hope. His freckles made him look younger, and it really added to the sweetness of his face. 
“So,” Fred began after a moment. “Why didn’t you come see the shop? It’s been weeks.”
You sighed. “Look, Fred. I just don’t think us talking like this is appropriate.”
He scrunched his brows. “Appropriate? Why not?” his eyes widened. “I haven’t been impolite, have I? I swear I’ve never meant to say anything weird, I just like to have a laugh-”
“No! Nothing like that,” you said. “I’m not interested in the kind of relationship you want.” There you said it. You would not be someone’s side piece or a good fuck. You wanted something real.
You should have known he was too good to be true as soon as you hit him with those boxes. 
“Oh,” Fred said, his face falling. “I’m so sorry that I assumed-” he paused, “I mean, yeah, sorry, you’re really busy so…yeah.” He forced a smile and stepped back. “I guess I’ll see you around?”
You nodded. “Yeah. I’ll see you.”
You ignored the disappointment in your chest as the bells rang, signifying Fred had left the shop.
*
The shop was still packed a few days later. You supposed word had spread about your low prices and fast wait times because potions were flying off the shelves. You’d begun to think about hiring someone else to help check people out while you brewed in the back. 
Plus, people seemed to like the idea of a small A&E in the back, and you’d definitely need more help with that. 
You’d just finished restocking some salves when he walked in. His brown eyes sparkled when they met yours, and that easy, earnest smile was back on his face. There was no hesitation or the anxiety you’d seen the other day. He was acting like nothing had happened. 
You hesitatingly smiled when he reached the counter, but your jaw dropped when you noticed the bruise that had formed around his eye. 
“Holy shit, Fred!” without thinking, you reached to touch his black eye. “What happened?”
He scoffed. “This is nothing. We just had a slight malfunction with one of our new products.”
“This doesn’t look very slight.”
“I’m fine. But,” he smirked. “I do appreciate your concern.”
“It’s professional concern,” you muttered as you searched for the anti-bruise cream behind the counter. “You’re not special.”
Fred’s jaw dropped dramatically. “You hurt me, dear lady.”
You snorted. “I think you can take it.”
Fred’s hand brushed yours as you handed him the cream and the anti-swelling potion. Your cheeks flushed, and he gave you a sweet smile as he left the shop. 
You could feel yourself smiling throughout the rest of the day, and you cursed yourself every time.
 He isn’t actually interested. He’s just a flirt. 
*
The next time Fred came in was a week later, and this time he had a cut branching up his arm. Thankfully, it was nearly closing time and most of your customers had trickled out by then. 
“What is this?” you fretted, grabbing his arm. “You hurt yourself again?”
“It was just a small incident with one of the pygmy puffs,” he chuckled. “They don’t like being told what to do.”
“Probably because they’re your orders,” you joked. “They can probably sense the stupidity from a mile away.”
“Hey!” he mock-yelled. “They don’t listen to George either.”
“My point still stands,” you said, tapping the cut with your wand. You held back a shiver as your thumb brushed his strong bicep. Was it just you, or did he have goosebumps?
“You don’t even know George.”
“He’s your brother, so if he’s anything like you, I’d be worried about his intelligence.”
Fred pouted. “They don’t listen to Angelina either, and she’s got a good head on her shoulders, so I think they just don’t listen to anyone.”
You paused your cleaning of his cut for a moment and tried to make your face as neutral as possible. “Who’s Angelina?” Could she be the girl he was kissing?
“Oh she’s George’s girlfriend,” he said, oblivious. You breathed a silent sigh of relief. “I don’t know how they’re still together, honestly she could do so much better, but she likes him, I suppose.”
You hummed, finally letting go of his arm to grab a potion. The cut was just barely a scratch now, but you wanted to make sure it didn’t get infected.
“Make sure you drink this, Fred, tonight and tomorrow morning. It’ll wash out any weird pygmy puff or whatever you call it infection from your body.”
“Yes ma’am!” he saluted and headed for the door. You couldn’t help but watch him make his way back from his shop, a spring in his step and a smile on his gorgeous face.
*
It kept happening. Fred came in with food poisoning, many more bruises, and even boils at one point. They were apparently from his inventions and experiments, but you were starting to get worried. Who gets injured this much?
The last straw was when he walked in with an injured leg. Your A&E hadn’t been opened yet, but you had hired a retired healer to run the counter so you could run in and out on occasion.
You were in the back, mixing a new potion when there was a loud commotion at the entrance. You had a sneaking suspicion of who it was but continued to stir the liquid until Martha poked her head into your office. 
“It’s your boy,” she said. “And I think you’ll want to see this.”
That got you out of your seat immediately. Most of the time Fred’s injuries honestly seemed more like excuses to come see you, for what reason you didn’t know, but Martha’s tone made it seem much more serious.
“What’s wro-” fear shot through you as you saw the pain on Fred’s face, and the fact that he was leaning on….a direct copy of himself?
You weren’t sure whether to be more worried or confused. Had Fred somehow invented a cloning machine? 
As you looked closer, you realized that they weren’t completely alike. The person next to Fred’s face was more rounded, and his nose was slightly bigger. His face was a bit uneven, and there was something off with his ear, but you couldn’t tell from far away. 
Suddenly, it all clicked. 
“You must be George!” you exclaimed. “Fred, you never told me that you had an identical twin!”
“Pleased to finally meet you,” George said, turning to Fred. “I can’t believe you never mentioned we were twins!” He glanced at you, mischief in his eyes. “It’s like you don’t care about me or something.”
“Shut up, George,” Fred said, turning your attention back to him. “I’m sorry to bother you again, darling-” your heart jumped, “-but I’m in quite a bit of pain and I was wondering if you could fix me up again?”
He is just a flirt. He is just a flirt. He is just a flirt. 
“Yes, of course,” you scooped Fred’s other arm over your neck and helped George carry him into the patient room. “Martha! Can you hold down the fort for a bit?”
You didn’t wait to hear her affirmative before slowly and carefully lowering Fred down onto the patient bed. His face was contorted in pain, and you couldn’t help yourself from squeezing his shoulder in support once he was safely in bed. 
“Drink this,” you said as you passed him a cup full of silver liquid. “It’ll make the pain go away for a bit.” Fred gulped it down, and a goofy smile filled his face when he finished. 
“You’re so pretty,” he said lazily.
You could feel heat creeping up your face, but you ignored him.
“Sleep well.”
You cleared your throat and turned to George. 
“Judging from the dirt and the Quidditch robes, I assume he fell off his broom?”
George nodded. “Yeah. He got distracted and a Bludger came flying toward him and…” he made a violent gesture, “Crash!”
You nodded. “Did he fall unconscious at any point, or hit his head?”
“He was a bit confused at first,” George said, hesitating. “He kept asking to come here though. My girlfriend kept trying to convince him to go to St. Mungos, but he wasn’t having it.” George smiled. “Are you two together? Because he kept asking specifically for you.”
Call the fire department, because your face was scorching. “I-” you stammered. “I thought he had a girlfriend or something?”
George snorted. “Fred? A girlfriend? He hasn’t dated anyone in a long time. I was honestly starting to wonder if he was gay and just afraid to tell me or something.”
“Really?” Your mind was spinning. Had you actually just hallucinated seeing Fred kiss someone outside of Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes? “I thought saw him kiss a girl outside your shop a few months ago.” You sighed for a moment. “They looked really happy, so I didn’t want to intervene or anything.”
“That would be news to me,” he paused for a moment, lost in thought. “Wait, what did she look like?”
There was an insistent knock on the door. 
“Sorry, we’re busy right now!” you called. “Ask the counter if you need anything.”
The door burst open, and your jaw dropped when the women came crashing in. She was much less put together than the last time you’d seen her, her hair flying everywhere and her cheeks flushed. But she had the same dark skin and hair, and the same commanding appearance that made you see why Fred liked her. 
“I’m sorry,” you said politely. “But I’m currently busy with a patient. Please wait outside or go to St. Mungos if you-”
“She's fine,” George interrupted. “This is Angelina, my girlfriend.”
Suddenly, it all clicked into place. It wasn’t Fred you’d seen kissing a girl, it was George. Who was kissing his girlfriend. Like a normal person. 
You were completely and utterly stupid. 
“Angelina, this is that girl that Fred won’t shut up about.”
“Oh excellent!” She strolled over to you and stared at you seriously. “Please go out with him. Just to put him out of his misery. All I hear about anymore is him whining that some beautiful girl from the shops won’t date him and I need it to stop,” Her eyes were wide and solemn. “Please.”
George snorted. “Way to expose Freddie there.”
Angelina grinned back at him. “I think he needs it.”
“Well,” you clasped your hands, ignoring the redness in your cheeks. “I’m just going to do a quick skull exam just in case he hit his head, and then I’ll set his leg and let him rest.”
You couldn’t believe you’d messed it up this bad. Of course, you’d just seen Fred’s identical twin kissing his girlfriend. How hadn’t you thought of it before?
You quickly began your work, murmuring spells to yourself as you ensured everything was fine. You winced at the loud crack that sounded when Fred’s leg was set, but a final “Episkey,” finally healed the break.
You turned to face George and Angelina, who were watching with rapt attention. “Fred needs to sleep for an hour or two, just to make sure he doesn’t feel all the pain right away. I’d prefer to keep him here, just to make sure he stays asleep and pain-free, and I’ll also be able to check him over again once he wakes,” you said. “But I’ll do whatever you guys want.”
Angelina elbowed George before he could speak. “I think Fred will be perfectly content with staying here for a few hours.”
“Yup,” George said. “He’ll be fine.”
*
You’d been running in to check on Fred for what probably was close to every 5 minutes for the past hour and a half. Martha had given you multiple suspicious nods and knowing looks every time you stepped out of the back room, and she winked at you as she left at the end of her shift.
The store was closed and empty after another long and busy day, and the urge to go check on Fred was already pulling at you. 
Just in case.
It seemed your intuition had been correct, as he began to stir the moment you opened the door. His nose twitched adorably, and there was a small smile on his face as his eyes opened, the sleep still present in his stare.
Without thinking, you stroked his hair, but Fred didn’t seem to mind. He actually leaned into your touch, the smile on his face growing. It was all so domestic, and you couldn’t stop your own smile from spreading across your face. 
“Your smile is so pretty,” Fred mumbled. “You should do that more.”
Warmth filled your face. “I like yours too,” you sat on the edge of his bed. “Does anything still hurt?”
“Not when I’m looking at someone as beautiful as you.”
“You are shameless!” you giggled, smacking him on the side.
“Are you slapping a patient?” Fred teased. “I’m gonna have to report you to the Ministry.”
“You’re making me wonder if you have brain damage that I missed somewhere.” You said as you helped Fred sit up on the side of the bed. “Let me check again.”
Fred, much to your surprise, passed all of his exams with flying colors.
“First time that’s happened,” he joked. 
“I guess that means you’re sane enough for me to do this.”
You leaned in and brought your lips against his. Fred gasped into your mouth and responded eagerly, his hand rising to cup your face and bring you closer. His mouth was soft and gentle, and you almost wanted to cry with how sweet he was. One of your arms wrapped around his neck, while your other hand grabbed his bicep.
Fred leaned back for a moment, chuckling. “I guess you’re finally free to touch my arms now.”
“What do you mean?” 
“Don’t pretend that you haven’t been thirsting over my arms the entire time we’ve known each other.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
He laughed again as he leaned back in, taking control of the kiss this time. He was more passionate now, and you let out a gasp as his tongue brushed against yours. Your heart was beating faster than it ever had before, and you had to break the kiss because you couldn’t stop smiling.
After you leaned back, Fred just stared at you for a moment, a soft smile on his face. Sure, he was already handsome, but that smile made him look ten times better, and even younger than before. His freckles made his smile boyish, and there was childlike joy in his face as he looked at you. 
“What made you change your mind?” Fred asked after a moment, his brows furrowing. “I thought you didn’t want a relationship.”
“So here’s the thing,” you laughed nervously. “I thought you didn’t want a relationship.”
Fred’s eyes widened. “I think you’re the one who needs to get your brain checked, love. Because I think I was being pretty obvious.”
“Hey! You’re supposed to be nice to me now.” You poked his chest. “But remember when I told you I’d come over to see your shop the day after we met?”
“Vividly.”
“Yeah, so I ended up seeing George and Angelina kissing in front of the door to Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes, and since someone,” you stared at him pointedly, “didn’t tell me he had an identical twin, I assumed it was you.”
Fred was silent for a moment. “I have been coming to your shop nonstop for months, and you still thought I had a girlfriend the whole time?”
“Well now it seems stupid-”
He kissed you lightly before you could finish. “You can never make fun of me for being clueless again.”
“Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll find a way to upstage me.”
Fred wrapped his arm around you and pulled you close. You couldn’t stop the stupid smile that was on your face, and you were sure Fred had a similar one right next to you. He squeezed your shoulder, and you leaned your head against him. Warmth enveloped you, and you’d never been so comfortable before.
“Don’t worry, love,” Fred said. “You’re the only one I think about.”

I had a fic idea that maybe George Weasley is slipped some veritaserum and he can’t hold in the secret that he’s in love with the reader?? Something angsty maybe? I’m not really sure but I think it would be great!! 🥰
Ugh, I love the twins. I’m more partial towards Freddie myself but we’ll see how this goes. It’s a little lengthy and probably not as much angst as you were looking for but let me know what you think 🤗
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: George Weasley x reader
Warnings: lil tiny angst but not much
You rolled your eyes, picking up your goblet and taking a swig before answering your friend, “You’re mental, Gin, really. There is absolutely no way that George has a crush on me. That man despises me.” She only smiled in response, “Oh sweet y/n/n…how can you be so smart and yet so clueless.” You huffed, stabbing a potato with your fork as she continued, “You know I am his sister, I can tell when my brother is into someone.”
“Actually you are so right, Ginny,” your sentence laced with sarcasm, “how could I be so stupid, the boy who charmed my potions textbook to squirt water in my face when I opened the cover is just desperately pining after me.” Ginny’s rolled her eyes but you continued, “Unless I hear it straight from the pranksters mouth, I will continue to tell you how delusional you are.” At that Ginny’s grin grew wide as she took a small vile from inside her robes, “Well I guess it’s good I have this then, huh?”
Your eyes grew wide, “Is that what I think it is?” Ginny shrugged her shoulders, popping the small cork from the top and pouring the liquid into a goblet before stuffing the vile back in her robes, “If you think it’s veritaserum, then I take back my earlier statement about you being dumb.” You looked around the great hall, noticing the twins walking in, “How do you know they’re even going to sit by us? Isn’t George going to be suspicious that you poured a drink for him?”
Ginny shook her head, “I know they’re going to sit with us because I told them I was nervous about quidditch tryouts this weekend when I saw them earlier between classes. Fred said he’d come by during dinner to talk me through it. And I help mum set the table at home so they won’t be suspicious as long as you start pouring Fred a glass as well.”
You quickly grabbed a jug and started to fill a goblet for Fred just as Ginny did for George. As predicted, the red-headed duo came flouncing toward your section of the table, George plopping down next to his sister as Fred did the same next to you. They both happily took the goblets from each of you before filling their plates to the edge with food. “Merlin, do you both eat enough?” You let out a light laugh.
George rolled his eyes, seemingly irritated, “We’re growing boys, Y/n. Plus we have quidditch tryouts this weekend, gotta bulk up.” He flexed the arm that wasn’t busy shoveling food down his throat. “Speaking of, why’re you so nervous, Ginny. You know you’re our best chaser,” Fred was telling the truth, Ginny was easily the best chaser on the team. It probably helped that she was the youngest of all brothers, most of which were either previously or currently on the team.
Ginny, thankfully was a fantastic actress, “Dunno, really, maybe I’m just overthinking it. Let’s talk about something else, yeah? Distract me.” You snorted slightly, “Well they’re both definitely good at being distracting.” Fred took it as a compliment, throwing an arm over your shoulder, “Awh, you get distracted by us easily, Y/n?” You rolled your eyes, shoving his arm off of you. You peeked over at George who was grumbling something while taking a large swig from his goblet. The exact goblet Ginny had laced with truth serum.
You looked over at Ginny, who looked right at you, smile growing wider by the second. “What was that you said George? We couldn’t quite hear you,” Ginny asked him. George set down his cup, “I said Y/n is the distracting one.” His face fell with his statement, looking at Fred who was doing his best to stifle a laugh. You crossed your arms, attitude laced in your tone, “Me? You’re the one jinxing textbooks and pulling pranks all the time! How on earth could I possibly distract you?”
George covered his face with his hands, trying to smother his answer. “Nuh, uh, Georgie, answer her. How does Y/n distract you?” Ginny pried his hands away from his face. George closed his eyes, it was obvious he was doing his best to keep his mouth shut but the words just came tumbling out like he had no control.
“Everything she does is distracting to me,” the tips of his ears blushed a slight pink. It was obvious to Fred that George somehow ingested truth serum and started adding fuel to the fire, “Do you have a crush on Y/n? And if so how big is your crush?” Fred was grinning like he already knew the answer, and by the way George was shooting draggers with his eyes directly at his twin, it was obvious he did. “Yes, I have a crush on Y/n, a really big crush on her.”
Your jaw fell open in shock. You started stuttering over your words, trying to take advantage of George in this state before the serum wore off, “Wha-, how-, erm, why do you have a crush on me? I thought you hated me. What do you even like about me? How long George?” Ginny and Fred were both resting their chins in their hands, smiles wide as they looked from you to George, awaiting his answer.
He took a deep breath before the words flying out of his mouth, “How could I not have a crush on you? Look at you, you’re bloody gorgeous, Y/n. And you’re so smart, it’s almost intimidating. Merlin, woman, it takes most of my brain power to not think about you. I’m only mean to you because I’m a fucking child, trying to ignore my feelings because I know there’s no way you feel the same. That first summer that you came to visit and stayed with us at the burrow, I thought you were the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen. Then I saw you and Ginny prank Harry and Ron. Ginny told me it was all your idea, and I swear to Merlin I was in love.” His head fell back into his hands, by the sight of his ears you knew his freckled cheeks were painted sarclet.
Your heart felt like it was beating out of your chest by the end of his confession. Ginny’s jaw fell open so wide you swore she was going to catch a fly in there. You shook your head, having trouble understanding what he was saying, “But-, George that was like, three years ago, why did you never say anything?” George pushed himself off the bench, walking quickly out of the dining area. Fred spoke up then, “He never figured you’d like him back. Thought you’d just see him as your best friend's annoying older brother. Been telling him for years just to go for it.” You turned back to look at the doors George just left through.
Ginny poked your hand with her fork causing you to yelp and turn to her. “Hello, go after him Y/n, I know you like him too. Georgie pranks everyone but you’re the only one that can drown on and on about him for hours. You wouldn’t care that much unless you were hoping for a different type of attention from him.” You looked from her to Fred who gave you a wink and a slight nudge.
You jumped up from the table, walking quickly to the doors in hopes of finding him. Thankfully George had only gone to the steps right outside the great hall doors. When you stood in front of his sitting form he looked up at you, “What do you want, Y/n?” It was rare you saw him from this angle, you’d often get puppy dog eyes from the twins when you were the shorter one, but the way he was looking at you now nearly broke your heart into pieces.
“Can we talk?” You held out your hand for him to take. His hand nearly swallowed yours, but he still took it. You led him to an empty corridor before sliding down the wall, patting the empty space next to you for him to mimic your actions. He did without question, sliding down next to you, but not looking at you. You turned to face him, placing a hand on his leg nearest to you. His eyes were glued to your hand as you spoke, “Yanno Ginny has been saying you had a crush on me.” His eyes met yours, you took a deep breath and continued, “She says I have a crush on you too. That the amount you prank me wouldn’t bother me so much if I wasn’t secretly wanting a different kind of attention from you.”
“And what do you think?” He finally spoke. His voice was soft, teetering on breaking. “I think she’s probably right,” you started to lean back against the wall, lifting your hand off George’s leg. He was quick to grab it, placing it back where it was. You continued with a smile, “Don’t get me wrong, I definitely get irritated when you prank me. But I would much rather you be sweet to me, amongst…other things.” George’s ears perked up, “What does other things consist of?” You giggled, slapping his chest before standing up. You bent down, whispering in ear, “If you can catch me before reaching the common room maybe I’ll tell you.” You took off down the corridor, George following quickly behind, smiling ear to ear.

holding out for a hero ( iii ) // platonic! mercedes amg
Tumblr media
summary: a holiday party at marcus armstrong's house brings changes to y/n's life, in the form of both a british f2 driver she'd rather not show her face around ever again, and a very awkward milestone.
pairing: platonic!mercedes amg f1 x reader, brief olli caldwell x reader
warnings: first kisses, a slew of emotions i don't want to unpack, it's going to be cute and angsty all at the same time, self-deprecation, basically the same warnings as the rest of the series tbh, mentions of an alcohol allergy, paul being a little shit
author's note: this is lowkey based on the story of my first kiss from last december . . . i actually hated it all and we're back to the drawing board on that whole dating thing. i fear my standards may be too high.
this series would make such a good sitcom tbh
"marcus, for the last time, i don't do parties." y/n insisted, frowning at the face on her phone as she stride out of the mercedes building in brackley. "i don't care that i already know most of the people who are going to be there, or that the guys are bringing their girlfriends. the answer is no."
"come on!" marcus armstrong begged on the other end of the facetime call, laughing as the young intern clumsily zipped up her tommy hilfiger jacket, hiding the bottom half of her face under the collar as the wind whipped her face, flakes of snow beginning to fall from the winter sky. "it's not as bad as you're thinking it's going to be. it's literally just at my house, my younger sister is going to be there."
y/n snorted. "come on, armstrong. if you think telling me that your teenaged sister is going to be at the party is a drawing factor, you need to reevaluate things in your life. besides, liam is going to be there and it's going to be ultra painful to see him and his girlfriend being all loved up."
silverstone had been a huge knock to y/n y/l/n's self-confidence. it had taken a lot for her to allow herself to be that vulnerable. to dance in front of the rowdy group of boys, to let her guard down long enough to meet new people, to have a good time.
to tell liam lawson that she thought he was cute, just for liam to shatter her heart into a million peices without even meaning or trying to.
god, she wished she could stop being so sensitive sometimes.
she hadn't been to another race since. she also hadn't spoken directly to liam, occasionally being looped into things on the group chat. as far as she was aware, red bull were shipping him off to japan with cem bolukbasi to run a superformula test.
she was heading back to her car now, the cold air turning her fingers numb as she clutched her phone, digging in her pocket for her car keys.
"i'm not doing it, armstrong."
"and why the bloody hell not? you had a great time in sliverstone, and i'll have james keep liam away from you if that would make you feel better."
y/n had opened her mouth to say something when she felt a pair of hands clapping her on the shoulders.
"she's going." susie wolff insisted. "come on, y/n. you need to get out more. you deserve to let yourself have fun."
"but this party isn't going to be fun, susie."
susie grinned, hands in the deep front pockets of her trench coat. "you won't know unless you try it, kiddo." she turned to the phone. "marcus, she'll be there!"
____
y/n stood in front of her mirrored closet door, smoothing her fingers over her hair, drawn back into a tight half-up ponytail kind of style.
"you look great, kiddo!" angela cullen's voice faintly filtered through the phone speakers, a kelsy karter song playing softly from the turntable in the corner.
"ang, i'm going to make a fool out of myself out there." y/n groaned. "i hate parties!"
"but you know these guys, y/n. you know marcus, you know clem and you know fred. you'll be fine. with that being said, if you want to leave early, call one of us."
"oh, you'll definitley be getting some kind of call." she rolled her eyes, stopping the turntable and sliding the shiny black vinyl back into it's sleeve, fairy lights twinkling above her. "what if they don't like me, angela?"
"and what if they love you?"
after bidding the physiotherapist her goodbyes, y/n pocketed her phone and padded across the dusty apartment floor to her kitchen. the apartment felt too big for her to live in on her own, and technically she didn't, but it's not like her roommate was ever home. she sighed to herself, opening the fridge to stare at the almost empty shelf, making a mental note to order her groceries.
if there was anything that gave her anxiety, it was grocery shopping. there was a voice in her head that always seemed to tell her that the cashier ringing her groceries through was judging her, or that that mother with two kids in a stroller was frowning at the nutritional index of meals she hadn't even made yet.
she grabbed the plastic container with the kirkland signature logo, groaning to herself as she realized that the lettuce in her pre-made ceaser salad had gone off.
"fuck me." she muttered, throwing the entire thing in the trash before grabbing a ziploc container filled with sliced peppers, that way she had at least eaten something before she went to the party.
just in case her anxiety stamped out her appetite
her nimble fingers sailed across the keyboard as she texted clement, asking for a ride to marcus'. she had no idea where she was going, and she didn't want to be lost in london this close to the new year.
i'll be at the apartment in twenty, and i've got my girlfriend with me. she can't wait to meet you! you're going to have a great time at marcus'
she took a deep breath, reminding herself to calm down a little. it was just marcus armstrong's house. what could possibly go wrong? they're the same people she had such a great time with at silverstone, right?
_____
she regretted going to marcus' almost as soon as she walked through the doors to his massive penthouse. at the track, they could pretend that they were all the same. but not here, not out in the real world when y/n walked through the front doors of his doorman building with glass elevators, his penthouse that was bigger than even the townhouse she grew up in with her parents.
in the kitchen, marcus had stacked a sturdy tower of martini glasses. behind them, felipe drugovich was standing on a kitchen chair with a bottle of ferrari trento champagne in his arms.
"i've always wanted to do this!" the f2 champion shouted. "come on, guys. someone get this on tape!"
"dear lord, what are the twenty stooges doing now?" she groaned, leaning against the wall next to jehan daruvala.
jehan laughed. "making a champagne fountain because liam said he saw it in a movie once. felipe wanted to do the honors of puring it, and nobody wants to argue with the f2 champ, especially when he just found out he's not getting a race seat next year, but logan is."
"shit. i guess the feeder series system just isn't working like it used to."
a chorus of cheers from the kitchen island disrupted further conversation, the warm lights shining down on the last person that y/n wanted to see. god, motorsport was a small world, wasn't it?
liam lawson locked eyes with her from across the apartment, giving her a sad and sympathetic smile. she bit her lip to stop from grimacing, meekly waving back.
nobody else knew what had happened between her and liam, and she preferred to keep it that way.
"y/n!" marcus shouted, throwing his arms in the air and waving her over. "come join us!"
"have a drink." clement encouraged, trying to pass her a glass of champagne.
she shook her head. "give it to your girlfriend, novalak. i'm actually allergic to alcohol."
calan williams narrowed his eyes, skeptically sipping from his own glass. "that sounds fake."
y/n laughed, moving closer to the kitchen island. "its a genetic thing. i can't handle anything more than a cooler or a mixed drink. anything stronger will have me throwing up for hours."
"i think there's some smirnoff ice in the fridge." marcus suggested, pointing towards a large cabinet front. ayumu iwasa opened the cabinet, revealing the fridge behind it.
fucking rich people.
"what the hell, pass me one of the peach smirnoff coolers in the door."
"to felipe!" dennis hauger shouted, hefting his beer into the air, arm full of tattoos on display. "our 2022 champion!"
"and to logan, my old teammate!" liam lawson added, throwing his arm around logan sargeant's neck. liam looked drunkest of all, though it seemed like all of the drivers were a wreck. "williams racing's last hope."
she spent most of the night wandering around marcus' massive house, ducking in and out of conversations. she appreciated that the drivers were trying to help her feel at home, but there was still a small part of her that wanted to flee, to run away and sit at home with her emily henry book or watch a korean psychological thriller.
"so who's actually sticking around next year?" jack doohan asked, slumped across marcus' living room sofa. "aren't they cleaning house in f2?" his buzzcut was growing back in, his shaggy blonde hair fitting his face much better, although the look still seemed odd since the length was at that awkward stage.
"it's dennis, you, ayumu, jehan, enzo, theo, me, amaury, roy, ralph." fred vesti started counting off on his fingers, a drunken slur underneath his words if one listened carefully.
"and i'm not going anywhere any time soon!" ralph boomed. "i'm like fernando fucking alonso, motherfuckers! 2023 is going to be my year, just you wait and see!"
"yeah right! the championship is as much yours as it is clem's!" marcus shouted back with a laugh, an aperol spritz in hand as he messed with the stereo.
"oh, fuck you lot." clement laughed, curled up in an armchair with his girlfriend. "you didn't need to do me like that in front of ines, come on, have some class."
"am i forgetting about anyone?" fred hummed. "i skipped clem, but am i missing anyone else?"
"what about zane? he's coming back, yeah?" amaury suggested.
"dude, it's a miracle that you're coming back." dennis snorted. "i thought you were gone for sure after that speeding ticket fiasco. how long did you lose your license for?"
sitting on the couch in between jack and olli caldwell, she felt suffocated. she drew her arms in on herself, trying to create a bubble of space from the aussie on one side and the briton on the other. her palms felt sweaty, her chest heavy.
"are you okay?" olli asked her softly. "do you want to get out of here? we can go for a walk, take a breather?"
she nodded quickly, her voice soft. "please? i love you all, i really do, but this is a bit much."
"yeah, come on. let's grab your jacket." olli encouraged, taking her by the hand as they both slipped out of marcus' living room.
not that anybody noticed they were gone. or that they had left together.
once they were both outside, y/n felt better. the cool breeze on her face, the twinkling christmas lights that had been lit up glowing in the haze as snow began to fall gently.
"so where are you off to next year if it's not f2?" she asked, fingers still laced with olli's as they walked down the sidewalk.
"endurance, i think. alpine are still sponsoring me as a driver, so laurent has been a hige help in trying to find me something else. it's something different, and i'm looking forward to it. what about you?"
"i have no idea." she answered truthfully, dropping olli's hand. "my internship runs out before the season starts in bahrain. then it will be back to the real world, the world where i'm on my own with my five friends and my roommate. i'm hoping that toto will keep me on next year, but i also realize that he might not have that control. it would be a shame to leave, though. i feel like i've finally found my place in this world."
they stopped walking, y/n leaning against the brickwork exterior of marcus' condo complex. olli stood in front of her, hands in his jeans pockets, his breath turning into mist in the air.
"i'm sure it will all work out. and even if mercedes don't take you on, there are so many other motorsports in europe that you can try. and you'll always have us, y/n. any time you want them, i've got wec tickets for you."
"thanks, olli. really."
they drifted into a silence, somewhat easy, somewhat not. olli's hands came up to press against the wall, his face just milimeters from hers. her heart started pounding, anticipation building in her bones.
is this it? is it really happening? is olli caldwell going to kiss me?
and then he leaned in, his lips pressed against hers.
y/n y/l/n had just had her first kiss.
_____
"so let me get this straight, you finally got your first kiss, a boy actually wanted to go out with you, and you're turning him down?"
"well, when you put it like that!" y/n groaned, face in her hands as she slumped back in her desk chair.
it was the week after marcus armstrong's party, the group sitting in the legal department at the mercedes f1 factory in brackley. she had already told the full story, and her face was pinker than a crush cream soda.
"i just don't understand what your train of thought is here, if i'm being honest." george chuckled. "so caldwell kissed you. what's the big deal?"
"because it was my first kiss, george! i've been thinking it over all weekend, and i felt sick to my stomach when olli texted me the morning after." she groaned, running her hands over her face. "you're going to laugh at me when i tell you why."
"i promise you, we aren't going to laugh, y/n." lewis said gently, placing a hand on her shoulder. "all of what you're feeling is normal."
she sighed. "it didn't feel the way that the books said it was supposed to feel."
"that's your big reasoning? really?" nyck's tinny voice rang through the speaker on mick shumacher's phone. in abu dhabi, the reserve driver had officially been traded to scuderia alphatauri, and by extension, not allowed into brackley to be privy to this conversation. so, naturally, he was facetimed and looped in anyways.
"mick, can you please mute the traitor." y/n groaned, reaching for the german boy's phone before mick laughed and pulled it out of her reach to mute the call himself.
on screen, nyck was still talking.
"i know it sounds stupid, but i've felt sick about it all weekend. what am i supposed to do, guys?"
"i think that your feeling are vaild, first of all." mick began, "and that maybe olli came on too strong."
mick's finger slipped, unmuting the call enough for nyck to shout. "did i not just say that? were you not listening?"
"you have so much time, y/n." lewis said with a small smile. "but i hope you've learned something about yourself from this, yeah? maybe this was the boost of self confidence that you needed?"
she had thought about the kiss all weekend, hoping that she could make it make sense, and that she wasn't overreacting. and it's not like olli had done anything wrong, although french kissing was a little much for the first date, even when it wasn't even a date, and she was trying to convince herself that telling olli she just wanted to be friends was the best call.
and then, digging deeper, she had to ask herself if she was even ready for a relationship. because when the idea was finally breathing down her neck, the idea of olli, and going on a date, and sharing so much of herself with someone else, it scared the shit out of her.
"he put his tongue in my mouth, lewis!" she whined. "god, i sound like a child."
"he what?" a muffled voice called from the other side of her desk, followed up by a thump and frantic whispering.
"what the fuck?" y/n mumbled, getting out of her desk chair and leaning over the glass cubicle wall. "paul?"
with a shit eating grin on his face, paul aron slipped out from underneath the table, kimi antonelli just behind him. while paul didn't look the least bit apologetic, kimi looked like he wanted the floor to swallow him whole.
"i am so sorry, miss. we shouldn't have been listening." the italian boy bowed his head. "but blame paul, it was his idea."
"what, i wanted the office gossip." the estonian boy shrugged. "he french kissed you, and you friendzoned him? that's a little sad."
"paul get out!" y/n snapped. "or i'll call toto and bono!"
the threat of toto wolff was enough to get kimi and paul to dart out of the room faster than the freca cars that they drove. toto didn't know about the kiss, mainly because she knew that he had otmar and laurent on speed dial and would find a way to put the fear of god into oliver caldwell for hurting his intern.
the bond that she had formed with the wolff family wasn't something she would have traded for the world. she found herself calling or texting toto's daughter rosa more often, with the two being of a similar age.
she just hoped that toto liked her enough to keep her around for another season.
"there are plenty of fish in the sea, kiddo." susie wolff added, striding into the office. "and don't worry, i'm not going to tell toto. although, paul and kimi might. take this as a learning experience. and don't take any advice from this lot." she added, whacking george in the back of the head with a file folder.
"why did i feel like that was directed at me?" the man from king's lynn groaned.
"the right boy will come when the time is right. god knows i met toto later in life. and look at us now." susie continued, pulling y/n in for a hug. "come on, we have an investor meeting with monster, and toto wants you there."
"me? he wants me in a meeting with our biggest sponsor?"
lewis laughed. "you need to start giving yourself more credit. you are so loved here, y/n. you have a future in motorsport law, a future here."
mick, lewis and george all exchanged a look, bright smiles on their faces.
"what are you not telling me? is toto keeping me on for next year?"
"we aren't allowed to say anything just yet." george started. "but, i think toto has a soft spot for you."
"put it this way: you'll know before bahrain, and you might want to pack some summer clothes." susie smiled.

Teach Me
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: Y/n Potter is known for getting any person she ever wants, but what happens when she has to comfort the one she loves?
Hermione Granger x fem! Potter! Sly!reader
Warnings: y/n has loveable bastard energy, James and Lily alive, angsty to fluff, slightly suggestive towards the end, can lead to a part 2
Word Count: 3.1k
*****************************************
"Dad! Y/n is hitting on Ginny again!" Harry shouted, stomping into his father's office, his sister right beside him with a small smile on her face.
James sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"How am I supposed to ask her out like that?"
The man turned around to meet his kids, seeing Harry with red cheeks and teeth clenched and Y/n looking... well, looking like him.
"What do you want me to do about it?"
"Tell her to stop hitting on every possible girlfriend I have!" He said like it was obvious. "It's the third time already!"
It was true, last year every time Harry would even think about inviting a girl to some sort of date, she'd step in and kiss her first.
And now that Harry, with the help of his mother, realized how he actually wanted Ginny instead of Cho, there she was talking to her all flirty.
"Sounds like I'm doing something really good that you aren't." She waved, standing smug right beside him. "Step up your game, idiot."
"Dad!"
God, sometimes Y/n sounded awfully like James, that's something he probably would've said.
"Well, Harry, she isn't completely wrong." He started, seeing the shock look in his son's eyes and a victory smile on his daughter's face. "You have such a lack of confidence I don't know where you got from. Maybe fight for her a little more?"
The boy scoffed, leaving his father's office and slamming the door on his way out.
"Y/n we've been here before..." James said, making her roll her eyes. "Your brother really likes Ginny, can you make things a little easier for him?"
"I'm just giving him a little nudge." She shrugged. "They were under a tree outside and she was practically begging him to kiss her, seriously, how is he that dumb?"
"Don't talk like that about your brother." He asked.
"Oh come on! Neville was thinking about asking her to the ball." Y/n told. "He'll lose her, I'm just trying to help. Besides, Ginny knows what I'm doing. And Harry should know by now redheads aren't exactly my type.'
James rolled his eyes at that, she was the first born-Potter who didn't feel attracted to a ginger.
His father, Fleamont, was. He was, and Harry was following the same path when fell in love with the youngest Weasley.
"Fine, just... tone it down a little."
Yeah right.
"Get your own girlfriend!" Harry shouted to his sister, two days later.
"Why do that when I can wait for you to pick one and just show her I'm so much better." She answered, not bothering to look back to see the boy rushing down the stairs to reach her.
"You're already going to the Ball with George!" He argued. "Why would you suggest to take her?"
The girl only laughed.
Both Weasleys knew what she was up to, in fact her and Fred thought about it together.
"I'm gonna tell mom!"
"You should. Cause if you keep up like that, she'll be the only woman in your life." Y/n mocked, turning the corner to go to Transfiguration class, not caring about her brother shouting behind her.
When the Yule Ball finally came, a week later, he finally had managed the courage to ask the Weasley girl to be his date.
Harry had his sister to thank, but he would never admit it.
Ron, however, didn't seemed happy in the least. He haven't managed any date and had to invite the Patil, Hermione being taken already. But to see his younger sister in the arms of his best friend, and his older brother holding his girl best friend, it was bloody torture.
Y/n and George were stealing some treats from the table when the girl saw Hermione leaving the hall with her head low after discussing with the ginger boy.
"Go for her." The Weasley said.
"What do you mean?" She asked, turning to the table again, avoiding to look at the door.
"Oh come on, Y/n. We all know you have a crush on her since day one. Ginny accepted you flirting with her because she knew you wanted to get under Hermione's skin. Just go get your girl and stop hitting on your brother's girlfriends."
Y/n hesitated.
George was right, unfortunately. Since the start of first year, on Hogwarts Express, she'd been head over heels for that little know-it-all Gryffindor.
But even though she wanted to try something, her feelings for the idiotic Weasley boy were way too clear.
And worse, Y/n was a Slytherin, and her house didn't exactly gave her the best reputation.
Leaving the hall, she tried to be as nonchalant as possible, holding her dress a little, but her entire act fell upon seeing Hermione crying in the stairs, untying the small heels and throwing them to the side.
"Hey." She called, approaching the girl. She immediately started cleaning her tears, forcing a smile. "Don't worry, he's a jerk."
"What do you mean?" Hermione pretended to not know, watching her sitting right in front of her. "I don't care about what Ron says, I just wanted- nevermind, you wouldn't understand."
"Wanted to be with someone who doesn't want to be with you?" She completed, making the gryffindor lift her eyes. "I understand more than you think I do."
Hermione frowned her eyebrows, not getting what she meant. She was known in all Hogwarts to always get who she wanted.
"Whatever, I'm just going to my room and try to forget all of this happened."
"Hey, no! Don't be like that." She shoved her knee lightly. "Come on, don't let a stupid boy ruin your night. I know one thing that would cheer you up, let's go!"
"But-"
"Don't think too much, come!"
She pulled Hermione with her through the hallways, the girl murmuring they'd probably be expelled.
The Potter led the well known path to the statue of the witch her father taught her it was a secret passage.
"What's that?"
"Firewhiskey!" She smiled, shaking the bottle, seeing the reprehensible look in Hermione's face. "Please, one night won't hurt, and it will take your mind off that damn redhead."
Y/n didn't meant to hate on Ron Weasley, she never did. But he had a literal goddess all over him and he'd be dumb enough to not want her.
Even with that offer, the girl shake her head no, making the Potter scoff.
"Thought you weren't a coward, Granger."
"Coward?!" She took the bottle from her hands with heat, opening it and turning swallowing three big sips.
It burned her throat, making her cough and almost throw up, wiping off the excess of her lips.
"Hey, you good?"
She lifted her head, looking at her with challenging eyes. "Who's not drinking now, Potter?"
Merlin, that was hot! They both thought, Y/n's mind focusing on Hermione and her's thinking about the beverage.
"Easy, Mione." She asked, trying to get the bottle. “Don’t wanna send you to the Hospital Wing on your first time drinking.”
The girl laughed, adrenaline started to run in her veins and she was feeling bold tonight. If bold and brave girls, such as Y/n always got what they wanted, it was her time to try, no?
But her conception of bold was a tiny bit different from the Potter’s.
“We should be doing this in a dorm, someone might catch us.”
“Not you trying to put limits even when you’re being rad.” Y/n mocked, taking a shot of the whiskey. “And I think it’s the perfect time to show you this.” She said, hearing fast footsteps coming in.
Closing the passage, she hid the bottle behind the statue, not invisible enough not to get caught if someone took even one step forward and positioned her hand on her forearm.
Professor Minerva turned the corner, looking at them intrigued.
“What are you two doing here? The Ball is taking place somewhere else.”
“Yeah but it was kinda boring, Minnie.” She answered, feeling Hermione freeze by her side. “I wanted to do something else but this killjoy right here caught me.”
The girl looked at her, eyes wide in shock, she knew it would cost her house some points, but the Potter didn’t seemed to care.
“She was taking me to the dorms anyway.”
Minerva was far from dumb, she knew the Potter reputation with girls, the same as her father's, but it seemed like her and the one she loved could finally have some time together.
“That’s truthful of you to admit your mistakes, miss Potter. Fifty points from Slytherin, and I hope you know your father will hear about this. And to you, miss Granger, fifteen points for Gryffindor for acting right. Now please, get this over with, I don’t want another scandal.” And turning around, she made her way back to the Great Hall. 
“See?” The Potter asked, pulling away when Minerva was far enough and grabbing the bottle. “Don’t worry, your goody-goody reputation won’t go to hell.”
Hermione felt weird, heat from the drink and the adrenaline washing over her. Was this how power was? Feeling like you could do anything?
“Teach me.”
“Teach you... what? How to lie?”
“How to be like you.” She asked. “You’re not scared of anything, and it’s like you don’t have a care in the world. I wanna do that.”
“Well, Ms Bold For The Night, what is something you always wanted to do, but never tried for being too afraid of getting caught?”
There was so many things she could make an entire list and it would be miles long. 
A couple of things fired up inside her mind, and she found herself smiling dumbly, cheeks feeling numb and face blushing.
“Oh god, this is so scary.” She mumbled, face buried on Y/n’s back as they raised from the ground on a broom.
“Don’t chicken out now!” The girl warned, getting them higher and higher.
Hermione was already regretting her decision, her stomach twirling on itself as they flew up to the Astronomy tower, where she always wanted to be by midnight, to watch the starts and the moon.
Her hands were around Y/n’s waist, one holding the bottle of whiskey so strongly her knuckles became white.
The wind brushed against her skin and she got goosebumps, the heat of her body colliding with the cold air. The Potter was clearly laughing at how frightened Hermione looked, as if she could ever let her fall off.
“We’re almost there!” She announced, loud enough for the girl to hear, but not to someone inside the castle notice the voice. Instead of landing on the inside of the tower, she decided to stand on the roof of it, even further from the grass.
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
“They always check the Astronomy Tower, everyone comes here after curfew sooner or later.” She shrugged, sitting down. “Besides, it’s even better to look at the stars from here.”
The Granger looked up, seeing how close the waning moon looked, how bright it was. Before she even noticed, she also sat down really close to the girl, still looking at that big black sky.
Never, on the muggle world, could she get a sight like that.
That’s why she was so grateful for being a wizard, and she thanked the universe by learning everything there was to learn about that world.
“It’s so beautiful.”
“Yes, it is.” Y/n answered, but when Hermione turned to look at her, she quickly blinked stared at the moon. “Want some? It’s better not to get cold.” 
The gryffindor felt her cheeks burning even before drinking, but she gulped down two more shots to have the courage to finally voice a question in the back of her mind.
“Why you never flirted with me?”
The Potter froze upon those words, holding the bottle tight against her palm.
“I- uh-” She gagged, blinking so many times and avoiding eye contact by closing her eyes. Fuck it, she thought. “I only flirt for fun, like they’re attractive or kinda cool or something. I won’t flirt with someone I have feelings for.”
“That doesn’t add up, you flirt with George a lot.” Hermione snapped back, taking off some pins on her hair.
“I don’t have feelings for George.” Y/n answered immediately. “He’s only my date to the Yule Ball because... well, everyone who’s interesting were taken and we didn’t wanted to spend an entire night with some fans we can’t escape or some shit.”
She turned the bottle upside down inside her mouth, swallowing so many times she lost count, her throat burning and eyes watering.
“Wait, so, who is it you have feelings for but won’t flirt with?”
“Are you kidding me? It’s you, Granger.”
Hermione blinked, feeling a little tipsy already.
“I never did because I knew from day one you liked that motherfucker Weasley, so, what’s the point?” She shrugged, facing the moon and drinking one more time, putting on her best show of not caring.
Under the moonlight, Hermione looked at her, eyes shining more than usual, her body framed perfectly by the black dress with a slit on the left side where she could peek to see a little of her thigh.
That didn’t made sense inside her mind, a girl as pretty as her? Having feelings for a know-it-all everyone made fun of?
“It doesn’t matter.” Y/n sighed, interpreting her silence as a bad signal. “Let’s just go back and-”
“You said you’d help me.” She interrupted, slurring her words. “There’s also one thing I always wanted to do, but have always been too scared of.”
“What is it? Take a swim at the Black Lake?”
“No, we can do that later.” She answered, with a smile. “I always wanted to kiss you.”
“Really?”
As soon as she nodded, Y/n’s heart race increased so fast she thought it would come out of her chest. Hermione’s face was red and with a large smile on her face as she leaned in.
There, with only the stars and the moon as witnesses, they finally kissed.
After four years of misinterpreted feelings and suppressing emotions and trying to be interested in literally anyone else, they finally came together.
Tongues burning with the drink and dresses mendling on each other, bodies close together for the warmth they gave out.
Pulling apart after a while, Y/n dropped her head in the girl’s neck, wanting to make sure she was actually there, that she wasn’t dreaming once again. The smell of her perfume made her head spin and she nuzzled closer, feeling her chuckle.
“What ya laughing at?”
“I’m just so happy.” Hermione answered, lifting her hand to caress the girl’s hair. “But we have to get back soon, it’s really cold out here.”
Y/n smiled wickedly at that, pulling her head up, and it gave Granger the chills. Not only because she looked pretty, but she also looked like she just got an idea, and it was terrifying.
And she was right.
Their ride on the broom was so much faster this time, because they just got down from the roof to the inside of the tower, leaving the object on the side and taking her hand.
They’d have to go all the way to the Gryffindor’s tower by walking, risking getting caught while at it and the only thing she said when Hermione tried to argue was “live a little.”
“Come on, where’s Ms. Bold For The Night?” She asked out loud when the girl took of her shoes and was walking in the tip of her toes, getting a “shhh” as an answer.
They started walking and it was like every corner she’d hide behind Y/n, waiting for a monster to show up, or worse, a teacher.
When they heard the loud steps from Filch, Hermione’s breath hitched on her throat, but the Potter was quick to open up a door to a random closet and pull her inside.
It was the same size as a broom closet, however mostly cleaning objects, and they could only see each other by the pale moonlight entering through the window.
“Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!” Granger whispered, trying to disappear by shrinking. When Y/n told her to focus on literally anything else, her eyes darted to her again, and what she was wearing. “That really is an awesome dress.”
“You can try it on.” She suggested, a smug smile appearing on her lips. “But only if I can try yours on and you help me take it off.”
“There’s a spell for that! Let me see...” She started, pulling her wand and Y/n had to bite her lip to not laugh out loud.
“Hermione.”
“Yes?” Only then she noticed her smile and her tongue licking her lips lightly, eyebrows arched. 
The girl thanked they couldn’t see each other well, because she was blushing like hell, but she had a feeling Y/n could guess what was happening, because her flirty smile turned into a genuine chuckle. 
Hermione cleared her throat as low as possible. “Oh, would you teach me that too?”
“I’ll teach you anything you want, princess.” 
“Then yes, I’d like to try on your dress.” She dared, gulping down her fear and shyness.
Y/n pulled her even closer, one hand in her waist and the other on her cheek.
“I know Minnie said she couldn’t handle another scandalous news on Hogwarts, but I think she’ll have to get used to the fact a Slytherin and a Gryffindor are sleeping together.” Y/n told, tracing kisses down Hermione’s neck.
The girl felt like melted butter on her hands, knees shaking and ready to give up and just ler herself be mold by the Potter. 
She forced her body between the slytherin’s legs, feeling her smile mid-kiss by her sudden audacity.
“I know we can’t sleep in each other’s dorms but I wish we could.”
“Well, technically...”
A few moments later, Hermione rushed into the Gryffindor’s common room, finding Harry, Fred, George and Simas sitting there. 
“Harry, I need the cloak!” She asked, looking flustered and out of breath, the boy just indicated the stairs to the dorm with a confused look and she ran past him. “Thank you!”
“Wait, why are you wearing my sister’s dress?” He asked when she came downstairs, fabric in her hands and a small smile on her face.
“It’s the end of a Ball, you stupid thing.” Y/n answered, coming through the passage and looking at him, Hermione's dress framing her body. “The real question is, why isn’t your date wearing your clothes? Now, thank you for the cloak but I feel like we still might have to stop by some broom closets on the way to, you know, hide.”
Hermione passed the boys, her mouth hung open in a smile, she knew what that actually meant, as excited as ever, and vanished through the passage with the Potter girl right by her.
“Harry, piece of advice.” George called, standing up. “Don’t look at the map tonight.”
“Unless you wanna know how fast your sister can make Hermione cum.” Fred finished, making Harry’s chin fall.
Well, at least, now she wouldn’t be going after his girlfriend.

Jason Todd Imcorrect quotes (2/??)
Continuation of this post . Probably 2/2 until like, the next four years or sth
Angsty quotes I probably will add in some fic somewhen. They are also for adoption, they have no home yet. I am just very salty about this.
Bruce: we don’t kill, Jason!
Jason: why? Why can’t we? Why is this your line in the sand when there is no other fucking line you won’t cross!
Bruce: because if we do it we will be just as bad as them!
Jason: Bruce you sanctimonious fuck, I don’t want to be better! I just want to be safe!
Dick: why can’t you understand? We don’t kill! we can’t be judge, jury and executioner!
Jason: why not? We certainly don’t have judges or juries here!
Dick: just because the system is corrupt-
Jason: when I was murdered, where was my judgment? When did the judge pass the sentence, when did the jury declare him innocent? When was the dead penalty discarded?
Dick: …you know why Jason Todd could not have a public judgement
Jason: then what was it, was it private and you decided to leave my death unpunished or is he awaiting my judgement?
Dick: oh little wing-
Jason: my anger and my rage are not unjustified. They are just inconvenient for Batman’s crusade. Fuck you and your righteous fucking convenience.
Tim: you don’t understand! Bruce was broken after you died and Batman needs a robin!
Jason: I did not die. I was murdered.
Tim: I know. Bruce never got over failing to save you
Jason: why is his grief more important than my pain? Why must his needs overcome mine?
Tim: …he’s Batman
Jason: I see. so he’s not replaceable. But his robins aparently are.
Tim: no! That’s not-
Jason: better tread carefully then, replacement.
Bruce: you killed a man. You broke my rules!
Jason: and I will do it again. What will you do about it, then, big man, throw me to your justice?
Bruce: I will take you in like the rest of the criminals in this city
Jason: it will not stick. Thanks to your methods, I am a dead boy that doesn’t exist. I cannot be thrown in jail.
Bruce: you think I can’t put you under a fake Id?
Jason: you will go the extra mile to hurt me, but not for those that hurt me. Father of the year.
Now the less angsty ones. To break off with a laugh or sth
Goon 1: boss, we have a problem.
Red hood: *sighs deeply* what is it now, Fred?
Goon 1: …you know my name? There has been…a confusion in one of the orders, boss
Red hood: oh?

Red hood: no. No. I refuse. No. I will not end up my crime lord days to build an animal reserve. No.
Goon 1: we could also kill them sir. Their fur is expensive and crime alley could always stand to have more food
Red hood: we are not doing that.
Goon 2: I mean, we have done worse things for less money boss
Red hood: you want your ankles to be bitten to death by an angry toddler? Because this is how you get an angry toddler bit your ankles to death with his swords. Two of them.
Goon 1: is…is that a new rogue, boss?

no longer mine. [g.w. x reader]
Tumblr media
a/n: sorry i just felt really angsty and needed an outlet and sorry again for the slight angelina slander but it's not really slander is it?
dressed in a black suit and tie, he looked as beautiful as the night he claimed himself to be yours. his once-long hair was now trimmed neatly, slicked back with gel.
he was waiting down the aisle, eyes shimmering expectantly.
but not for you.
you, who was seated amidst the crowd of wedding guests, a mere name in the guest list. a whisper of his past, a bygone age. he was once yours to love, to hold, to kiss, to cuddle and just, be.
that beautiful boy who grew up to be an even more beautiful man written by the finest littérateurs, in the finest ink.
you once counted down for the day you'd see him in a suit and tie, where he'd wait for you who'd be dressed in all white.
the gods gave you what you wished for; he was delectable in that ensemble, really. even as the nervousness he tried to keep at bay slowly seeped through, he still has this air of composure to him; a coolness you once had the privilege of calling yours.
and so, as the quartet played the wedding piece, you wondered where you'd gone wrong; why you weren't the one wearing the white gown. you continued to observe as he straightened his suit for the umpteenth time that evening, leaning over to his father, arthur and whispering a few things in the man's ear.
then, the doors flew open. songbirds that had been conjured up by precise spell work flew into the room, then coalesced with the bouquets of flowers, disappearing into thin air. their twitters and chirps that sounded like glockenspiels being struck still remained, echoing and harmonising with the quartet.
she walked in.
she who must be the luckiest woman in the world.
in all white, she put the moon to shame. even as the candelabrums stood dignified, burning with importance and decorum, she outdid them.
with a gown dotted with rhinestones that glimmered without needing a light source, and silky hair that flowed in the evening breeze, she spelled out perfection without having to use any vowels and consonants; all she needed was to flash a smile and laugh.
angelina johnson cascaded down the aisle with her train of periwinkle behind her. eyes were all on her, and hers peered through the veil at the man whose last name would soon be hers.
that last name you'd sworn was going to be yours.
bitterness soon bubbled inside you, as she finally reach him. good for her.
"do you, angelina johnson, take george fabian weasley to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
i object.
"and do you, george fabian wealey, take angelina johnson to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"i do."
don't.
think of the nights we'd spent at the astronomy tower, poring over the endless revised editions of this and that. think of the candles we'd burnt through, the wax seeping into our robes, but we didn't care.
think of the nights we'd spent running away from the awful squib, just to dance in the corridors without a care in the world. think of the afternoons by the great lake trying to dry ourselves off the muggle way, but we ended up smelling like the giant squid instead.
think of all the beautiful hogsmeade weekends we'd wasted away in the common room because you just wanted to be in my arms.
think of the evenings we spent at the matron's dabbing away at quidditch wounds and naming all your scars and bruises. this one "billy", that one "fred" because it really did look like him.
where had it all gone? where had that boy gone; washed away by the war and found by the shore of the light side, earless and cold but still so painfully wonderful.
were you not mine? were you not mine to vow separation only by death to? was i not the one you'd promise to marry after the war?
and as you felt your breath hitch in your throat, the crowd cheered.
and that was it, as they wrapped their arms hungrily around each other, lips meeting, tying their bonds and changing her last name to his. that was the very second you knew he flipped over your chapter and burnt the pages. he rewrote over your stanzas written in fourth year that stretched all the way to the seventh and doused them in kerosene, setting it all ablaze.
and it was at that moment you swore you saw his eyes meet with yours from behind her; serving as a reminder of the distance between the two of you as he stood in the aisle, and you seated on the benches.
that man was no longer yours to call "mine".

Was it just Qudditch?
— Fred Weasley x Reader Fanfic —
Tumblr media
WARNINGS:
Some smut ig but not really, it’s pretty much intense romance features… Strong Language (mostly at angsty parts), and that’s it!
This is a Romance Genre Harry Potter Fanfic 🙌‼️
————————————————————————
You were inside the Gryffindor common room, grateful for the amount of peace you had in there.
Barely anyone was in the Gryffindor common room, which made it ten times better for you.
You flipped through the pages of your book that you were studying, waiting patiently for your best friend Ginny to come back. Suddenly, the door swung open. “Y/N I brought the Apple cider!” She plopped down right beside you.
“What’re you in the rush for?” You asked, raising an eyebrow and grinning. “Never mind that. What are you reading?” She stared at your book.
“Studying, actually. I’ll finish it later.” You gave an awkward smile and closed your book firmly. “Oh my gosh, your still working on that homework from potions?!” She said in pure shock, “It’s due in 2 days!! — And it’s a lot!”
“Don’t even remind me.” You got up and sipped some of your cider.
She laughed at you teasingly, and then looked at a nearby clock on the wall, and back to you. “Are you going to my brothers qudditch game?” She nudged me with her elbow. You shook you’re head.
“You mean Ron’s?” You said casually. You simply hated Ron, and never cared about him. He always humiliated you in class— you’d never forgive him for that.
“No? Harry’s convincing him not to play today, which I made fun of Ron for. So no, he’s not.” Ginny hopped up.
“Then what do you mean?” You looked at her.
“Oh my fucking—Y/N!” she smacked her face with her palm. “You’ve completely forgot about Fred and George!”
You widened my eyes as you had just realized you’ve forgotten about Fred, who you had a major crush on for years. Well, ever since 3rd year. “Right!” You spat out a bit too harshly.
“So then? Would you like to come?” Ginny raised a eyebrow at you, and gave a polite smile. “I can give you the answers to the potions assignment later?”
You let out a sigh, and nodded. “Sure. But how will they all play in this heavy snow?”
“They got all that complex shit figured out.” She smirked.
You giggled to her response. “I’ll meet you there, see you!” She shouted, as she walked out the door.
You looked down quickly to see all your belongings scattered around the table. You picked it all up, stuffing it in your tote bag, and out the door you were.
As you were having trouble stuffing one of your books in your bag, while walking through the Hogwarts corridors, you weren’t paying attention to where you were going.
All of the sudden, you bumped into a tall boy, in Qudditch uniform. “Erm— Oh, sorry Y/N!” The familiar voice said in a rush.
You looked up to see a familiar face— Fred Weasley. “Oh… uhm, no I’m sorry..” you muttered.
“Sorry? Didn’t catch that.” He replied, gazing into your eyes, as the quickly fixed onto your soft lips.
“Uh… Good luck for your game.” You immediately said, thinking of anything you could’ve possibly said. A mischievous smirk grew onto his face. “Thanks. Your going, right?” He patted your shoulder.
Heat rushed towards your cheeks, and you nodded quickly. He let out a little chuckle. “Hope to see you there then, Y/N.” He said flirtatiously, as you didn’t notice him act that way.
You continued your walking to the Quidditch Pitch, as you couldn’t stop thinking about that awkward moment you just had with your Crush, Fred.
•••
After the Qudditch Game, you ran as fast as you could to the hospital wing, after Fred fell of his broom. Luckily, he only fell 10ft down, and Dumbledore saved him, but he was still badly injured.
“Fred! Are you alright?” You pushed past all the people surrounding his bed. He smirked as his eyes were closed at the sound of your voice.
“Fine, my dear Y/N. Everyone out— except for Y/N.” Everyone scoffed and glared at you, mostly the fan girls of his. Realizing he called you ‘dear’ in fact, wanting everyone out except you was suspicious, and you suspected something… strange.
He opened his eyes gently, and comfortingly held your hand as you sat next to his bed. You widened your eyes as you felt his touch. Looking away you heard his gentle voice again. “Look at me, love.” He whispered into your ear.
You didn’t know if this was real, if this was literally happening. You turned to look at him, and he then pulled you on top of him. “Fuck you don’t know how long I’ve loved you.” He pushed some of your hair behind your ear.
You had no words to reply with, nothing to say. You were just in desperate shock.
“You’re blushing!” Fred pointed out, softly poking your cheeks. “I am not!” You called out, looking away embarrassed. “Your face is red.” Fred winked, a hint of teasing in his voice.
“With Rage.” You said sarcastically. He noticed your body language, he of course knew you were being sarcastic. “I know you like me back. I know you share the same feelings for me.” He winked again.
Your eyes widened once again, before you could think anymore, you were lying directly on top of him. He gently grabbed your jawline, and pulled you in, kissing your passionately.
As your lips touched his, the butterflies immediately hit your stomach. It felt great, the best thing that could ever happen to you.
“Your too hot for me, Y/N.” Fred said, before kissing you from you head to shoulders.
“For the love of fuck Fred..” You smirked, giggling as he kissed you everywhere, leaving love bites.
“Oh yeah, I love to fuck— You.” He wriggled his eyebrows at you.
“FRED!!!”

SERIOUSLY NEED THE REMAINING CHAPTERS OF THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE NOW. RIGHT NOWWWWWW UGHHHHH I LOVE IT SO MUCH. GIVE ME MORE SLOWBURN ANGSTY JEALOUSY SAPPHIC HERMIONE FICS PLEASEEEEEE AHHHHHHHHHHH
A/N:
Hi Guys!
I know it's been a REALLY long time but here we are! I'm sorry for leaving everyone hanging but A LOT of shit happened... But anyway, here we are, chapter four!
Y/N Y/L/N is chosen as one of the champions in the Triwizard Tournament with one of her best friends, Harry Potter. Along with the struggles of being one of the champions, she also has to navigate her feelings for her best friend, Hermione Granger. But, as far as Bex knows, Hermione fancies Krum.
Includes: Angst, pining, swearing, wlw, bi!reader (mentions of flirting with men), smut, name-calling, Krum hating, fighting, physical violence, fighting, mentions of injuries, and flirting
___________________________________________________________
Music rings through the Gryffindor Common Room as everyone cheers. I grin at the crowd as I walk through it. I feel people patting me on the back as I come down from changing. I see Hermione standing in the corner next to a girl from the year below us. “Hey ‘Mione!” I call. She looks at me and ignores me as she returns to her conversation. I tap her shoulder, she still ignores me. “If you’ll excuse her.” I say politely to the girl she’s speaking to. I grab her arm before tugging her to a secluded area of the room. 
“What the hell?” Hermione seethes. 
“I wanted to talk to you! You haven’t said a word to me since this morning!” I say in a hushed tone. 
“Has it occurred to you, maybe I don’t want to talk to you right now,” Hermione replies. 
“Why don’t you want to speak to me?” I ask, confused. I hear a voice call my name. I look over to see Avery wave me over. I smile at her as I hold up my pointer finger. 
“That’s why,” Hermione scoffs. 
“What?” I say confused. “Avery?” 
“Yes! Bloody hell, I told you I didn’t trust her,” she replies. 
“You don’t even know her, H,” I argue. 
“I know I don’t like you being with her,” she seethes. 
“What?” I ask. 
“I don’t like you being around her,” Hermione repeats. “It pisses me off! You called her Dove.” Her voice grows quieter at the end of her sentence. 
“Sorry, but you’ve been so busy being shoved up Krum’s arse that I’ve barely seen you besides classes and at night!” I argue, my voice growing louder. 
“I don’t spend that much time with him!” She scoffs. 
“Notice how you were his treasure today? You know who mine was? Fred. You’d think it’d be you, but nope. You’re in love with Krum now!” I laugh. 
“His name is Viktor!” She exclaims. 
“I don’t give a fuck what his name is. You have no right to try and tell me I can’t be involved with Avery while you’ve blown me and the boys off every moment you can to hang out with that git. Or is it just me?” I ask. Hermione’s silent as I shake my head. “I gotta go. Avery wants me.” I turn and walk away from the small girl as I walk up behind Avery and wrap my arms around her middle. I rest my head on her shoulder as she smiles. 
“Hi love,” she hums.
“Hello, Angel,” I smile. “What are you doing?” 
“Just chatting,” Avery replies. 
“Sounds boring,” I whisper into her ear. 
“It is,” she whispers back. I grin happily as I tug her closer to me as I tuck my face into her neck. 
“How was your day, Dove,” I say against her skin. 
“Stressful, you gave me quite the scare today,” Avery says as she rubs my arm. 
“I’m sorry. How can I make it better?” I ask as I press a soft kiss to her neck. 
“You could stay in my dorm tonight,” Avery replies. 
“Sounds good to me,” I grin. Avery leans her head back against mine as I kiss her forehead. 
A few hours go by until the party dies down. I feel Avery’s body slumped against my side as I help her up the stairs. She’s babbling drunkenly as she presses her lips to my neck. 
“Ave, what are you doing?” I ask as I push her face away. 
“Kissin you,” she mumbles as she tries to kiss my lips. 
“You’re drunk, not right now,” I say as I push open the door to her dorm. I see one of her friends sitting on her bed. “She’s drunk, but I’m pretty sure she’ll be out soon.” I smile at the younger girl. I set Avery down on her own bed before I pulled her shoes off. 
“Are you staying?” Avery whines as she looks up at me. 
“Not tonight, maybe tomorrow,” I say softly. Avery pouts as I cover her up. She falls asleep moments later. 
“I have to tell you something,” the girl across the room says. I turn to look at her in confusion. 
“I don’t think I’ve ever gotten your name,” I say. 
“I’m Clarissa, but you can call me Rissa,” she smiles. 
“What did you have to tell me?” I ask. 
“Avery was dared to do this, the whole thing with you. I heard her and her friends talking about it. She was dared to make a champion fall for her, and she chose you,” Rissa says softly. My heart drops as my mouth dries. 
“What?” I say softly. “You swear to Merlin you’re not lying.”
“I swear, I have no reason to lie about something like this,” she says softly. 
“What do I do?” I say as I shake my head. 
“Don’t get with her, don’t do anything. You’ll get hurt,” Rissa says. 
“Thank you so much,” I say as I walk through the door. I walk quietly back to my own dorm before I push through it. I kick my shoes off as I close my door. I walk to my dresser as I pull pajamas out. I change quickly before I get into bed. I fall asleep staring at the brick ceiling. 
Once I wake up my mind instantly flies to what Rissa said last night. I stand up and slip on a pair of socks and trainers before going down to the Great Hall. I saw Hermione sitting next to Ron with Harry and the twins across from him. I quietly slip into the spot between the twins as I grab a chocolate croissant. I eat it silently as I stare at the table. I feel a shoulder nudge mine, I look up to see George looking down at me. 
“You alright, Y/N/N?” He asks softly. 
“Avery, it was a dare,” I laughed quietly. 
“What?” George says angrily. 
“Her friends bet her that she couldn’t make a champion fall for her. And I was the oh so lucky champion she chose,” I reply. 
“I swear to bloody Merlin, if she wasn’t a girl,” he says angrily. 
“What’s the matter?” Harry asks as he looks between George and I. 
“Fucking Avery, that right cunt,” George seethes. 
“What’d she do?” Ron asks. I look at George as he gives me a look asking if he can say. I nod softly before he bursts. 
“She was using Y/N! It was all for a bet, her friends said she wouldn’t be able to pull a champion,” George says. Hermione’s face hardens as she looks at me. She gets up quickly as her face scans the Great Hall before she disappears. 
“Where’s she going?” Fred asks. 
“No idea, should we follow her?” Harry asks. 
“No, probably not,” Ron replies. I get a bit more food before I drink my pumpkin juice. 
I make my way to the Transfigurations classroom. I push the door open to see Hermione already sitting at our table. Her face is hidden by her curly hair as she reads the book in front of her. I slide into my seat before I look to the front of the room. 
“You alright?” Hermione asks, not looking up from her book. 
“M’fine, H,” I say softly. 
“You’re not, you’re allowed to be upset,” she says as she places a hand on my arm. 
“You’re not gonna tell me you told me so?” I ask. 
“Well, of course not. You’re upset and I’m not going to exploit that because I was right,” Hermione says. I nod softly as I look at her. McGonagall makes her way to the front of the room. 
“Today’s class will be held in the Great Hall so we can have a discussion,” she says. “Everyone leave your things and follow me.” As we get there, every Gryffindor is in the room. I smile as I see the twins standing behind a bunch of chairs while leaning against the wall. “Ladies on the right, gentlemen on the left.” I scrunch my nose up as I move to sit on the other side. 
“What’s this about?” Angelina asks as I sit in front of her. 
“No clue,” I whisper back. 
“Today we will be discussing the Yule Ball. It’s directly connected to the tournaments. The house of Godric Gryffindor has been the most honorable and humble house around this time. I will not have you besmirching that name by acting like a babbling bumbling band of baboons!” McGonagall says. 
“Right, she’s obviously never been to a Gryffindor party,” I whisper with a smirk to Lina. She lets out a soft snicker as McGonagall shouts at Ron. 
“Mr. Weasley, please join me,” she says. Ron looks at her in shock as he stands up and walks over to her. “Please put your hand on my waist.”
“Where!” Ron screeches as he looks at her.
“On my waist, Mr. Weasley,” she repeats. Ron slowly puts his hand on her waist as McGonagall takes his other hand. She begins walking through a slow waltz as I cover my mouth to try to stop the laughs from bubbling out of me. 
“Oh I wish I had a camera,” I say in awe. I look to see Fred and George mockingly swaying back and forth. Hermione elbows me softly as she glares at me. 
“Now, I hope you gentlemen will each take a lady’s hand and ask her to dance,” Professor calls. The boys sit silently as I roll my eyes. I see Neville stand up as he offers his hand to Ginny. She smiles as she takes it and they begin to dance around. I smile softly as Ron walks over to me. 
“Your hand m’lady?” he says obnoxiously. I throw my head back in laughter as I grab his hand. 
“Of course m’lord,” I reply in the same voice. He pulls me up as his hand sets on my waist. We sway softly as he spins me. I let out a loud laugh as he dips me. “Wow, Weasley! You got some moves.”
“Oi! I’m not just a pretty face,” Ron winks. I shake my head with a smile as I lift his hand above his head. 
“Now, spin!” I laugh. 
“Absolutely not,” Ron says as he shakes his head. 
“Come on, Ronald!” I say as I wiggle his arm around. He rolls his eyes as he duck under our arms and spins. I grin brightly as I watch him. 
“Now you,” he smiles. He twirls me around as I let out a laugh. Ron tugs me back to his chest as we dance slowly. “So, when are you gonna tell ‘Mione you fancy her?” My eyes widen as I slap his chest. 
“What are you talking about?” I ask, my eyes pulling away from his gaze. 
“It’s painfully obvious, Y/N/N,” he teases. I groan as my head falls to lean on his shoulder. 
“I can’t tell her, she fancies Krum,” I replied as my head lifted off his shoulder to look at him. 
“You never know unless you try,” Ron sings. I roll my eyes as I look around the room. I see Hermione laughs loudly as Harry spins her around. My stomach fills with butterflies as I smile softly. “You’re absolutely smitten!” Ron laughs. 
“Oh, bugger off you git,” I mutter as we continue to dance. He grins at me as he spins me again. I let out a laugh as he dips me again. 
Ron plops beside me as he lets out a loud groan. I shift my seat on the couch of our common room as I smile. “You alright Ronniekins?” I ask as I nudge his shoulder. 
“How the bloody hell am I meant to ask a girl to the ball! They’re always together in their scary groups, staring at us,” Ron says as he puts his head in his hands. 
“It’s not that hard, just ask someone,” I shrug. 
“Have you been asked yet?” Ron asks. I shake my head as my eyes scan the pages of my book. 
“I’m probably not going,” I say. 
“You’ve got to go!” Ron exclaims. 
“Why?” I ask. 
“If ‘Mione finds out you're saying that she’ll skin you alive!” Ron says as he sways us. 
“Is she going with someone?” I ask softly. 
“I have no idea. You know she wouldn’t tell Harry and I, we’d take the mickey out of her if she did,” Ron laughs softly. I nod in agreement as I put my feet on his lap.
I walk into the Great Hall for my study hour as I see Hermione sitting beside Ron and Harry. I sit across from them, next to the twins as Snape sets my workbook in front of me. I give him a tight lipped smile as I open it and begin to work. 
“Have you got a date yet, H?” Ron says as he turns to the brown-haired boy. 
“Not yet, it’s terrifying!” Harry exclaims in a hushed tone. 
“I know! How am I supposed to ask a girl when they’re always together!” The redhead whines. I let out a soft laugh as I look at the two. Fred tears a piece of parchment off as he scribbles on it and tosses it at his brother. Ron reads it before glaring at the older twin. “Right, who are you going with then!” Ron huffs in a whisper. Fred smirks at his brother before crumpling up another piece and tossing it at Angelina. 
“Oi! Lina!” Fred whisper-yells. Angelina’s head snaps towards him as she glares. “Will you,” he says as he points at her. “Go to the ball,” he continues as he mimics dancing. “With me,” he smirks as he points towards himself. 
“Yeah, alright then,” Angelia says with a small smile as she turns back to her work. Fred turns and shoots an overdramatic wink at Ron. I laugh softly as I shake my head. 
“Right, Hermione, Y/N, you both are girls! Come to the ball with us,” Ron laughs as he mimics Fred. Snape walks up behind him as he smacks him in the back of the head with a workbook. Ron winces as he rubs his head. I laugh with Harry as Hermione turns to look at him. 
“I have a date already,” Hermione says. 
“You what?” I say as my head snaps towards her. 
“Someone asked me, and I said yes,” she replies. 
“Who!?” I ask. 
“None of your business,” Hermione says coldly.
“I thought we were best mates!” I say in defense. 
“If I wanted you to know, don’t you think I would’ve told you by now!” Hermione says in a tone that mocked mine a few weeks ago. My face falls as I look at her. 
“Cool,” I say dryly as I turn back to my work. 
“Y/N, are you going to the ball?” Harry asks. 
“Probably not,” I say as I don’t look up from my work. 
“What?” Ron says slightly loudly. 
“Not going,” I say as I look up at the trio with a tight-lipped smile. 
“Yes you are,” Hermione says suddenly. 
“No, no I am not,” I say as I shake my head. 
“You have to!” Hermione argues. 
“No I don’t,” I laugh. 
“You are going. No arguing,” Hermione says. 
“We can go together,” Ron says as he waggled his eyebrows at me. 
“Fine,” I seethe. “Only because I don’t want Ronniekins looking pathetic at the ball.” Harry looks at me in shock as he gasps. 
“What about me!” He shrieks. Snape glares at us as I apologize. 
“You’ll find a date. You’re the chosen one. Every girl wants to get in your pants. Ron here is a little more awkward,” I reply. Harry grumbles quietly as I finish my work. I get up as I hand Snape my book and leave the room. 
“You have a package,” Ginny tells me as she sets a long box on my bed. My face lights up as I move closer to the box. 
“It’s my dress!” I exclaim. I tug the top off the box as I look inside. I pull out a long  dark red dress. The skirt is bouncy and made of a soft tulle. It flows to the floor as I hold it up. The top is made out of a silky material, that was covered in shiny red beads and sequins. The straps are thin and cross in the back. The neckline is a wide V shape.
“Oh my god Bex! That’s gorgeous,” Ginny grins. “You’re gonna look so pretty!” 
“I hope so,” I say softly. There’s a pair of open-toed silver chunky heels, they’re covered in sparkles. It has a strap that goes across the top of your foot and one that fastens around your ankle. I dig around the box to find three smaller black boxes. The first box has a silver necklace with a silver rose as the pendent. The second has a pair of gorgeous earrings. They’re crystal dangle earrings. They look like frosty ice more than anything else. The final box is smaller, shaped more like a cube than anything. I open it to see the ring. It’s the same ring my mother wore everyday. It has been in our family for ages. I take it out and hold it between my fingers. It’s gold and has a tiara like design. There’s a small oval shaped red stone in the middle with two tiny pearls on the top and bottom. 
“That’s beautiful,” Ginny says softly. 
“It was my mum’s. It’s been passed down to the eldest girls in my family for generations. And it’s finally my turn,” I say as a smile breaks across my face. I made a mental note to write mum later. I hang my dress up so it doesn't wrinkle before putting the shoes and jewelry away safely.

Could u write something for tdi Duncan and a reader who meet in juvenile? I love ur writing! Have a nice day :)
i love this concept sm (just an fyi, i have no clue how juvie works so i hope this is at least a little accurate)! u have a nice day too >:)) hope u enjoy!!
you sighed, kicking your legs back and forth in the extremely uncomfortably hard chair that you found yourself sitting in. you'd only been there for a day, and you were already so bored out of your mind. it wasn't exactly your fault you'd been caught vandalizing a school building. the brick wall was boring, and it was practically being asked to be painted on! you just didn't expect your best friend to rat you out.
so there you found yourself, bored out of your mind with spray paint stains still on your skin, when you heard a name mentioned.
some guy's name had been in everyone's mouth since you got there. you knew it started with a D, but you didn't really care about the details. you just wanted to home.
the cells grew quiet as a faint cling-clang noise filled the echoey walls. whispers and mutters of "there he is" and "i wonder what he did this time" filled the once loud hallway.
and then you saw him.
a pretty tall boy with black and green hair and a cocky smirk on his face. he had piercings and dressed like slightly edgier fred durst. he look like a conceited douche, and something about the drove you towards him. you made eye contact with his bright blue eyes and felt your insides melt. the officers kinda just sighed, opening your cell and practically throwing the boy in. he immediately crashed on the bed, laying down and folding his arms behind his head. you watched as he crossed his legs, and you cleared your throat.
"so uh, what are you in for?" you asked, nervous but wanting to make a little conversation before you totally embarrassed yourself.
the green haired boy just shrugged and responded with, "yknow, the usual."
"the... usual?"
"stole some shit, beat up some dick for being a dick. not the first time it's happened, and it certainly won't be the last." he said, uncrossing his hands to crack his fingers.
a kinda awkward silence set over the cell before duncan cleared his throat.
"...well?" oh. it was YOUR turn.
you sighed.
"i trespassed on school grounds with some cans of spray paint and no plan, and i tagged this completely blank brick wall with my art. i told my best friend and yknow what she did? she ratted me out to the cops and thought i wouldn't find out."
duncan laughed.
"i would have loved to see it."
"well," you started. "when we get out of here, let's make it a date."
that was forward. you didn't expect the words to come out of your mouth, but you were deadset on it. this boy had interested you; a lot. he was tall, handsome, and angsty and everything about that made him seem perfect in your eyes. so what if he was a douche; you wanted him to be YOUR douche.
"yeah. it's a date." he said, winking at you.
you scored big time.

A/N: To be honest, I wanted to take this whole fic a whole another way but this just felt so right. I want a happy ending for them. I don't know but I got kind of attached to these two so only happiness and joy. No more angst. I mean, haven't I written enough of angsty fics...
MASTERLIST
XX
George has been feeling melancholic for the past few days. He knew that judgement day will come sooner rather than later- Moony trudging through the door and calling them to go fight.
Fred was in similar mood like him but he hasn't been projecting it into the physical world as much as George did. They didn't talk in the morning anymore, planning their next big move. Nor did they feel any sort of hope in their hearts anymore since Sirius passed away.
George's ear was still burning his side. It caused him more migranes than he could count but today, on a wedding day, he decided to plaster a wide smile on his face and pretend nothing really hurts. This wedding, was a wedding of hope- at least that's what he thought.
What gave him an even bigger grin on his face was his little sister kissing the one and only boy who lived. He wanted to giggle and take a picture, but at the same time, he had to keep his cool.
"Mooorning." he smiled and took a sip of his coffee, looking at them turn bright red.
They quickly scrambled away and George started to chuckle as he continued to drink. He leaned over the small kitchen window and observed his mother yelling over to Fred about the table cloths.
"Wouldn't want to listen to that nagging right now..." he mumbled as he took another sip.
His eyes narrowed as he noticed his mother smiling over the girl beside Fred. She punched his shoulder and Fred lightly pushed her back. They started to nag each other, poking and pushing until Fred wrapped his arms around the girls waist and threw over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes.
George put his cup down immediately, when the girl flipped her short hair, shouting furiously at Fred and punching his back.
George's heart was in his throat by now and he was walking quickly out of the house. He followed Fred, who seemed to make the same fast pace as George. George turned to running to catch up.
"YOU DO NOT GET TO CARRY ME AROUND LIKE A POTATO SACK!" the girl shouted but laughed a bit.
"You want a twirl?" laughed Fred and starting spinning on the spot.
"No, please!" you said as the floor started to get blurry.
He stopped as he saw his brother and put you down.
You, however, didn't see his brother as he placed you back down, turning him your back. You laughed with extremely red face. The blood ran down your head and you could feel it heavily going back down to your body.
You continued to laugh, pushing Fred slightly. "I'll pay you for that-" you said but Fred grabbed you by the shoulders and spun you around so you could see the same man but completely different.
Your eyes glowed bright and George only stared. He never saw you in light colours and the yellow pastel suited you so well with your new short hair. You even had a flower in your hair, probably the one that Fleur put it in for her special day.
"You're here." he said as he made giant, fast leaps towards you and embraced you in his arms.
He hugged you tightly, strongly, lifting you up from the ground and spinning you around. Your yellow dress spun around with you and you laughed into his shoulder.
It always felt like this. It always felt so safe and strong. So comfortable and loving. You felt like you had forgot how it used to feel, two years later but it felt better than you remembered- causing tears to fall down your cheeks.
His arms grew a bit bigger and he grew even taller than before. His face lines started to show a bit, especially around the mouth since he always loved to laugh and smile. He really grew up and was even more handsome than before,
Except an ear.
You gently put your hand over it and frowned a bit. "You're one ear less than the last time I saw you." you said, tears falling down from joy of seeing him still alive and well.
He took your hand into his and kissed the palm of it, placing it on his cheek. "You're so beautiful- even more than the last time I saw you." he smiled kissing your lips. "You've grown, you've changed- why are you back?" he suddenly grew serious. "The war is not over yet."
"I've traveled and I've changed." you said, placing your arms on his lower back. "But it never felt running away was the right option." you smiled. "Fred reached out, said there's a wedding- might as well come sooner than I anticipated."
His smile grew brighter as he heard his brother was behind it. He looked up to meet his eyes but he was long gone to give the two of you the privacy that you needed.
"And I've been missing you." you said, stepping on your toes and leaning forward.
His hands tightened around your waist and he kissed you hard on the lips, passionately and longingly. He forgot how you tasted but you tasted like the strawberry lipgloss that you had on. A sweet taste on his tongue meanwhile he must have had an awful taste of coldbrew coffee.
He pulled away, a bit ashamed of his own breath but you haven't really thought of it like that. It was simply coffee and him. His scent- the one that drove you crazy.
"I don't want you to get hurt." he said, frowning as he held you still.
You smiled lovingly at him. "Trust me, I won't get hurt. I am much better at a fight than you think."
"I mean... Fred took you off with an easy swing."
"I was not prepared for that." you said and he laughed. "You two are stronger than you look."
"We all are." he winked and swooped you off your feet and carried you away.
You laughed. "What are you doing?"
"Carrying you to my room." he winked and you laughed.
"Come on George, the wedding is about to start!"
He stopped, watching you laugh with those eyes that could never really b described by words, more by emotions. "I love you." he said, for the first time since the two of you started dating, three years later, he finally said it. "I had always loved you and for the last three years I had been thinking about nothing but loving you when all of this is over." he said and finally put you down on your feet.
You felt like falling, since the words numbed your knees, preventing you from standing sturdy on the ground. Your cheeks were flushed, your eyes were glowing. "I love you, George." you said, placing your hand on his cheek as he leaned down to kiss you again.
This time it was completely different kind of kiss. The one where everything you felt for this man, for the past years was finally reveiled. You had been so afraid of revealing your emotions to him that you've always held back but now, those eyes, those words- they finalised everything in your relationship with him.
"You came back for me, didn't you?" he said as he pulled away.
"I mean..." you looked away, sarcasm on your playful lips. "...don't get to cocky but there are a lot more people here than you..." you said and he started to laugh. You got serious as you heard his sweet chuckle and you focused your eyes on his. "Of course, I came back for you." you continued to stare at his brown eyes. "And you waited..."
"I've had waited for hundred of years if I had to."
"Well, now I'm here and this time I'm staying."
"Forever?"
"Forever."

WEASLEY TWINS IN LOVE WITH A SLYTHERIN WHO WAS A CHAMPION AT TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT AND EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE FROM A FAMILY OF DEATH EATERS AND WAS ABOUT TO BECOME ONE (bonus points of reader is a Malfoy or a Snape) THEY SACRIFICE THEMSELF FOR HARRY
Just a thought 🤷 🙂
A/N: ok…hear me out…Y/N Lestrange?? And so it will be very angsty still bc like…Draco, and his parents watched their cousin and neice/nephew/nephice die…?? like?? ANSGT. I feel like i should get some extra credit for that idea. Sorry its so short lol Fandom: Harry Potter
Paring: Weasly Twins
Y/N Lestrange…moms a death eater…Dads one as well…oh. And you happened to be a Twiwizard champion. You were on the last task. Tying points with Harry Potter. You had been told by Snape to practice some curses and jinxes. Practice, Practice, Practice, thats all you did in the empty Charms room. But, you happened to be with a set of red heads. Fred, and George Weasley.
They, were as what your mother would have said, ’Blood Traitors.’, but they happened to be your best friends.
They were cracking jokes, smiling and every once in a while, making a flirty comment. But, you guys do that all the time. So, you thought nothing of it.
„If i win, you guys can have the gold. I wont need it. You guys want to start…what was it callee?”, you said, the light in their eyes gleam with joy. Of course you knew what their dream store was to be called. Fred got up, towering over you and grinned ear to ear. „Weasleys Wizard Wheezes!”,he exclaimed with a very joyful tone, he was just pleased.
„There will be pranks, jokes, fake wands! You name it, we got it!”, George said, coming right behind you. They were so passionate about it. Loving every second of thinking of it. You couldn’t help but smile and get intrigued.
Soon, you were called down to see your family who had come to see you compete. You were surprised. They wouldn’t have let your mother and father come see you?
But, instead of seeing your own mom. Lucius Malfoy. Your uncle, right beside him was his wife. Your auntie. You grin and walked up to them. ”Uncle, Auntie. What are you doing here?”, you asked, you noticed he was shooting daggers at Mrs, Weasley.
“We came to watch you in the last task of course!”, beamed your aunt. You couldn’t help but grin at the thoughtfulness. „Bella sadly couldn’t make it…due to…circumstances.”, your uncle said. You nodded.
You had took them to the Slytherin common room, talking about your second task. Saying you came in second place. They happened to be pleased about it.
You did happen to keep out that you had two hostages. Fred and George. You didn’t think your family would be too pleased about hearing how your most missed item would be the family of blood traitors.
You ate lunch, then you got ready. You met up with the twins before you were sent to be let out. „If you die i’ll kill you.”, George said jokingly. Giving you a hug goodbye. „I swear Y/N. You better come back alive, sure, loose a couple limbs. But as long as ya got the galleons.”, Fred said, of course you knew he was joking. You hugged him too. You sighed softly.
„I’ll be back boys.”, you grin and then, you had an idea. You had stood on your tiptoes, and kissed Freds cheek. Then, you turn to George, kissing him and letting go of them. They were both flustered. But had the smuggest looks plastered on their face.
„Bye! I love you!”, you said to them, they grin and Fred leans against George. „We love you too.”, George said. Then once you were our of sight, The of course high fived.
This was it. The moment to see who wins. You stood by Harry Potter. You held your breath as you looked at the crowd. Soon, you were told to enter the Maze.
You walked in, the hedges were decorated by thorns and sharp leaves. You turned right, left, straight, left again. You then saw something unfamiliar. But, it came out of your mind when you heard a blood curdling scream that sounded dreadfully lime Fluers.
Out of instinct, you shot up red sparks and continued to go. You soon saw Krum. You fought with him. He seemed to be cursed. Then, you saw Harry. He helped fight off Krum, than you guys both ran. You then stopped at a corner. The glimmer of the cup.
You and Harry raced to it. Soon, a vine wraped it’s way around your right ankle and pulled you down. „Harry!”, you screeched as you claw the ground. You saw as he stopped, looked at you, then the cup.
He then ran after you and yelled a curse at the plant. It let go and you got up. „Thanks.”, you said and looked at him. „Anytime.”, he responded with.”
You then both looked back, only to be faced with a horrid darkness. You both sprinted to the cup. „You take it! You saved me!”, you said and he looked at you. „No, you should have it. i wasn’t supposed to even be in this!”, he replied. You guys bickered back and forth. „Together?”, you said and he nodded. „One, Two, Three!”, you both say in sync.
You arrived in a grey graveyard. You got up and then looked around. „Harry! The cups a portkey!”, you say. Smiling to yourself. Harry, looked scared.
„Y/N, get to the cup!”, he said and you didn’t obey. Then, you saw something. something…familiar. Wormtail. „Ah…Y/N…how nice of you to join us..”, you heard the dark lord say. But no where to be seen. „Now…be a good kid and bring me Harry Potter..”, He said and you looked at Wormtail, than harry. „No. You can’t kill him!”, you had said.
You knew he was angry. You should never mess with The Dark Lord. „No…? Well…Y/N…you should know by now that i dont take ’no’ for an answer.”, He said and then whispered something that was horribly along the lines of ‘Kill them’.
The last thing you saw was a green light, and Harry screaming your name. Everything went black.
The twins had saw Harry return. They had smiled when they saw you with him. But something wasn’t right. You looked pale, you didn’t move an inch. They both squint their eyes. You were dead.
Echo’s of screams and gasps filled the air. Fred and George ran down and pushed people. „No! Thats Y/N! Thats our Y/N!”, they scream as they ran and fell beside you.
„No no no…”, George said as he moved your hair. the first time they had cried in a long while. ”No! Goddammit! Don’t leave…please..please don’t leave us..”, Fred said as he held your lifeless face.
They couldn’t believe it. The person they loved, admired, adored. Gone, Killed. They were in tears. „My sweet baby…who did this to you..?”, George asked, a crying Harry answered one word. „Voldemort.”
Fred had kissed your cold lips. Sniffling. George did the same. They couldn’t let you die in vein. They had one thing in their mind. They were going to kill Voldemort. And they wouldn’t stop until he’s dead.
Because that night, he took their beautiful angel away. And they were going to take his life.

Kid Percy Weasley headcanons!!!??
Ooh, I actually wrote something with kid!Percy a long time ago (and just cross-posted it to A03 on my other account) called Doughnuts. (As a warning though, I don't suggest looking through that username for other kid!Percy stories - I have some weird and dark stuff on there 🤣🤷)
My Kid!Percy Weasley Headcanons:
Percy loved reading, but since there were no libraries in the wizarding world (and the Weasleys couldn't afford a lot of books), he ended up reading his mom's books, including her diet books, the household dictionary, and even her smutty romance novels (much to her horror when she realized it after he innocently described someone as "trembling in pleasure" because he didn't understand the context).
The twins demanded that Percy read them a bedtime story every night, because Percy was the only one who would use different voices for each character.
Percy was also the only one who could always tell Fred and George apart, but sometimes he would pretend that he couldn't, because the twins would laugh really hard when they thought they tricked him.
Out of all the Weasley children, Percy was left the most confused by the First Wizarding War. By the time it ended, the twins were only 3, so they didn't remember it at all (neither did Ron or Ginny), and Bill and Charlie were 11 and 9, so their parents explained more of what was happening. Percy was 5, so he remembers it, but he didn't understand it at the time and he was still pretty young, so all he remembers is feeling afraid, and his mom crying when his uncles left and never came back, and his mom being very serious when she repeated the rules over and over again (”stay quiet”, “go hide if someone knocks on the door”, “don't let your siblings cry too loudly”). That was when Percy’s anxiety started, and it was also why he liked to have a clear set of rules, because it made him feel safer and more secure.
Percy got compared to Bill a lot, by almost everyone. They were similar in appearance and intelligence, so most adults would make comments about the two of them, which is why Percy felt so much pressure to live up to Bill’s achievements with his OWLS and being a prefect/Head Boy. 
He tried to sneak onto the Hogwarts Express when Charlie left for his first year of Hogwarts, because he felt like he was ready too, but he was caught before it left the station. The twins were so mad at him for trying to leave them that they didn't talk to him for a week.
Percy was actually pretty good friends with Cedric. Cedric lived nearby, and their parents got along well, so they saw each other on a fairly regular basis. Even though Cedric was closer in age to the twins, they were usually a little too intense for him (as an only child, he wasn't used to so much chaos, and it was a little intimidating), so Cedric clung to Percy instead, because Percy was quiet but nice to him, and he always played with Cedric without acting like he was too cool/too old for it. Percy even wrote to Cedric after he started Hogwarts to tell him all about it. That was partially why Cedric wanted to become a prefect when he got to Hogwarts, and after he got the position in his 5th year, Percy was the first person he told, and Percy was super proud of him.
Percy once helped Charlie sneak a niffler into the Burrow and kept it hidden for several weeks before their mom found out (it was after Bill left for Hogwarts but before Charlie was old enough, so the two of them spent a little more time together, and Charlie convinced him to keep the secret). Their mom’s jewelry kept going missing, and she kept accusing the twins before she finally caught the niffler in the act.
When Percy first got his glasses, he was excited because he looked like his dad, but then Bill made an offhand comment about “tough luck - glasses are lame" (because he was an angsty teen), and Percy hated wearing them after that.
Percy actually loved playing quidditch with his siblings, because it was one of the only times that he really felt like he belonged with all of them, and he was actually a fairly good Chaser. He never wanted to play on the Gryffindor team, but he still played at home until his 5th year, when he started to focus more on being a prefect and his OWLS.
Percy helped his mom cook/make lunch and dinner all the time, but not breakfast because he actually hated getting up early, and he usually only woke up when the twins started jumping on his bed. 
Some of these extended beyond kid!Percy... Oops. Sorry! 🤣
Thanks for the ask! 😊

𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠…
Tumblr media
Harry Potter :
Why you broke up with him 👇🏻
You fell out of love for him.
What he's like during the break-up 👇🏻
He's been in an irritated mood for weeks and people tend to leave him alone because he snaps at anyone who frustrates him even more.
Isolate himself more and more from his friends trying to conquer the sadness and anger himself which takes a toll on him and get him physically sick.
He still looks after you and helps you without your knowledge, if he feels that you're doing something unsafe he'll follow you secretly just to make sure.
When you go and return the stuff that was his he cries over it because you don't need them anymore and that you're finally moving on from him, reality starts to set in for him that this is real.
Tries to act happy and feels better about the break up whenever you bumped into him and ask how he's doing, but nothing convinces you for a second no matter what you just smile it off and let him go with it.
Tumblr media
Ron Weasley :
Why you broke up with him 👇🏻
You feel stuck and bored in this relationship.
What he's like during the break-up 👇🏻
Stays in his dorm all day and skips a couple days' worth of classes just thinking and trying to adjust to the breakup.
He takes the opportunity to catch you and see how you're doing, just wondering if you're just as heartbroken as he is over the break-up and when he finds out you're doing better without him he starts to crumble.
He stops eating and would skip meals for days and days, his excuse is that he isn't hungry but then he fell ill and is forced to eat by his siblings and friends.
He surrounds himself with all his friends and would sometimes rant about how miserable he is without and would eventually ends up in tears every time.
He burns all the pictures, clothing, or letters you've ever sent to him so he can finally set you free from him and move on.
Tumblr media
Neville Longbottom:
Why you broke up with him 👇🏻
You fell in love with somebody else.
What he's like during the break-up 👇🏻
He spends a lot of time crying in private at night when no one is awake and people would wonder why his eyes look so puffy or why he looks exhausted all the time, but all he does is lie about it.
Looks at old portraits and gifts or smells a piece of clothing he has kept from you just dwelling on the past wishing you'd come back.
He tries to talk to you still and is kind of in denial about the break-up, thinking that he can change your mind and he'll be better for you.
He returns everything that was yours and so did you, but he keeps one thing that was yours just for keepsakes because it reminded him of innocence and it smells like you he couldn't let it all go just like that.
He never tries to get out there and he doesn't even bother to look at other people, basically keeping himself single for the rest of his Hogwarts years to avoid another heartbreak.
Tumblr media
Oliver Wood:
Why you broke up with him 👇🏻
He's too busy for you due to quidditch and graduating out of Hogwarts so he's never around.
What he's like during the break-up 👇🏻
Takes his frustration out during Quidditch matches and practices getting extremely irritated by minutes that it's started affecting his performance as a keeper.
Can't stick around when there's a couple near him remembering what it was like when he was with you, he just leaves in annoyance.
He asks around about you to see how you're doing because he feels like a burden trying to talk to you himself and keep tabs on any guys that have been openly flirting with you.
He starts drinking alcohol and uses it as a way to get over the breakup, just to make it a bit easier.
He doesn't care much about Quidditch or Graduating from Hogwarts anymore not until his friends push him to finally move on and take care of himself.
Tumblr media
Draco Malfoy:
Why you broke up with him 👇🏻
You fight non-stop with him and it was getting toxic.
What he's like during the break-up 👇🏻
Break and destroy things around him out of frustration and accidentally hurt himself in the process.
Strat's treating you the same as anyone else he dislikes and hates, he'd called you names or brought up something from the past but he does it out of the sadness and the feeling of wanting you back.
He gets a rebound as soon as he can and try to fix it all by going out and being with other people but no matter what it wasn't the same not even close.
He bad-mouths you for a while in front of friends thinking that he hates you for breaking it off with him.
He cries in frustration that he has so much pride preventing him from just coming over to you and saying that he still loves you so much and that he misses you.
Tumblr media
Cedric Diggory:
Why you broke up with him 👇🏻
You don't share the same future goals and values.
What he's like during the break-up 👇🏻
Starts affecting his grades and academic performances, he has no motivation to study harder or stay focused in class because all he can think about is you so everything else he has to do in life becomes excruciatingly harder.
Tries his best to still be friends with you or at least be on good terms but he finds it hard to shut down those feelings he had for you before, all he wants to do is kiss you like old times.
He shut out all his friends which is so unlike him and would much rather be alone these days not being seen much around by others.
He begs you that you're making the wrong choice and that he can be better and that the both of you will be able to work out all the obstacles you both faced during your relationship.
He starts making bad decisions and hanging out with the wrong crowd just to get your attention, to get you to care that he's in a bad place and is finding it hard to move on.
Tumblr media
Fred Weasley:
Why you broke up with him 👇🏻
Your family disapproves of your relationship with him.
What he's like during the break-up 👇🏻
He barely laughs and jokes around anymore almost to the point where he lost friends because he'd become so distant and completely lost himself in the breakup.
He makes his own mom worried because he's changing drastically and is not being his usual self, but he always ensures her that he's okay which she hardly believes.
He barely starts any sort of pranks or jokes anymore, he usually sits still not really talking to anyone just minding his own business, and even to George he only exchanges a few words before he finished what he needed to do and leaves.
He doesn't want to remain friends with you, because he knows it'll be hard to hide his romantic feelings for you.
Once he gets over the sadness he tries his best to make you jealous just to gain attention or some sort of comment from you saying you miss him or you want him back.
Tumblr media
George Weasley:
Why you broke up with him 👇🏻
You don't like the way you are with him, you were happy once but not anymore.
What he's like during the break-up 👇🏻
Just like Fred he barely laughs and jokes around anymore isolating himself a whole lot.
Fred would try to get you off George's mind by suggesting or introducing him to new people that he'd date but it never seems to work out because he's given them all the slightest amount of attention.
He lets Fred do all the pranking and fun alone as he stops being the mitigator of the two, all he cares about is you at the moment.
Uses his beater positions in Quidditch to vent out his feelings about the breakup, so he's even more aggressive than he usually is.
He's less sympathetic during this period of time, not wanting to hear anyone complain or vent to him about anything as it feeds more into his already miserable mood.
Tumblr media
Blaise Zabini:
Why you broke up with him 👇🏻
You keep hoping that he'd change his bad decisions and bad behavior.
What he's like during the break up 👇🏻
Gives you dirty looks whenever you're in class together or when you bumped into each other around the Hogwarts castle.
Threatens anyone that tries to get with you despite you not being his anymore, he just doesn't want you to get hurt again and he's feeling selfish.
He tries to avoid you and act like you don't exist even though it hurts him not to be able to talk to you or look at you.
He starts doing everything you always said you hated about him even more just to annoy you and get your attention.
Like Draco he tries to get a rebound and shows off that he's doing great without you, but on the inside, he's suffering loads.

Toro's Powers/Inhuman Part 2
alright, last post (here) talked about the powers themselves and how they work with Toro as a character. So what about his relationships, and his place in the team/teams? (another long one) also, his backstory a little bit bc i just want to talk about toro. this isn't english class, i don't need structure lol (much heavier on headcanons)
Let's start with the obvious. Jim. Jim could probably give less of a fuck what toro "is", because he is Toro and he is Jim's son and that's enough. the new powers, i can see that creating some internal angst for jim at first bc toro having the same powers as him kinda reassured him of his own humanity and their similar powers were the first building block in their relationship. but once jim escapes the evil anxiety spiral and remembers Toro isn't going anywhere, he's incredibly supportive. (we see a glimpse of this in canon, where he supports Toro's choice in going to Atalian. the new powers still catch him off guard sometimes, but he's also secretly glad bc it means Toro isn't constantly comparing himself to Jim anymore, and it boosts Toro's self-confidence. (srsly, re-reading this stuff now that i'm not an angsty middle schooler, my boy needs several hugs and therapy. he makes blatantly suicidal comments both in the Torch and Invaders Now, not to mention several times in earlier comics where he makes self-deprecating comments comparing himself to Jim.)
Next up, Nora and Fred Raymond. Betcha didn't see that one coming! Obviously learning you're an entirely different species is going to re-contextualize some shit about your parents, but not necessarily in the way you'd expect. See, Toro's parents were both brilliant chemists (or otherwise chemistry adjacent scientists. the details of how the fuck horton cells work is sketchy at best). Toro never got to know them well, both because of a number of things they were keeping from him and how young he was when they died. Toro himself says he never knew much about his mother when she's brought up in The Torch, and a part of his motivation is specifically to find out more about his parents. Because his new powers are heavily reliant on chemistry, he'll probably be doing a lot of research in that area, which in a way brings him a little closer to his parents.
Iron Cross (the Clare Grueller incarnation) is a character Toro literally would not have met without being an inhuman. Sadly we don't get to see much of them interacting besides mutually telling inhuman eugenics guy to fuck off and/or fight them (a great basis for a friendship if you ask me) Here we enter head canon territory. I personally think it would be really cool if Toro and Clare continued to have a relationship, bonding over inhuman stuff/invaders bagage/generally wanting to make the world a better place without ending up in the news. Maybe Toro helps Clare cope with the implications of becoming one with her suit (he's got a lot of experience with cyborgs androids and the like) and maybe she builds him a computer to integrate into his suit that helps him identify unfamiliar chemicals on the fly, or that can show him how to make specific chemicals (like the human-atlantean switch stuff).
Namor. Oh boy. Um, Namor is complicated. As a mutant he's kind of expected to have some thoughts on the inhuman business, and while it seems like he does in the invaders part of the hydra supreme mess, this isn't necessarily the case. (I'm totally writing a fic on this scene later, but he's faking it to try to get toro to leave/distance himself from toro so he can act like he doesn't care) meanwhile, when it's first revealed Namor's actually pretty chill abt it. So may or may not be a factor, more likely to be a problem if Toro's working with/for/ int the interest of other Inhumans, or trying to mediate between Namor and Blackbolt or something.
Anyway, Namor knows what it's like to be something different than you thought, and even something that doesn't really exist outside of you (toro is inhuman, but he's also a hortanesc cyberg a-la-spitfire, and maybe still a mutant- i'll get back to that later) I think much like Jim Namor is very caught off guard by the new powers. Underneath everything, I think he's still tempted to see toro as a little kid, a painfully vulnerable surface dweller who took a bullet to the chest in berlin (bucky's whole 'that could never be you in there so you don't understand' speech really hit a nerve i think) Oh, and Namor also WATCHED TORO DIE after toro PURPOSEFULLY PUT HIMSELF IN DANGER TO SAVE NAMOR. so yeah, no matter how powerful toro gets, no matter how smartly he uses his power, i think namor has a really hard time seeing toro as anything other than vulnerable. Which brings us to the real hard pill to swallow-
Toro can kick Namor's ass now. At least, if he has the drop. Toro can dehydrate him. Toro can manifest vibranium or other super strong metals that can actually leave a mark on Namor. This is a factor with all the invaders, in that toro has all sorts of new tools at his disposal that can make them miserable, but Namor's the one he's (historically) most likely to come to blows with.
And one final point with Namor (godsdamn, you'd think this post was about him) as i mentioned he sees Toro as vulnerable, perhaps more so than even Jim. And this is important. This is good. Toro needs people looking out for and protecting him, even if he's a lot more powerful now.
Alright moving right along hey look it's Bucky. So, unsurprisingly, powers were never that big in bucky and toro's relationship. And power escalation hit them both, only in different ways, so the power imbalance really feels like it's in Bucky's favour if anyone's at this point. The only real effect I can see this having is if Toro gets sucked into some inhuman/Kree/space thingy that involves Bucky as the Man on the Wall (is that even a thing anymore? I feel like I haven't heard about it in a while but i haven't really kept up with Captain America comics lately) Anyways it could be interesting to see these too in that context. See them have a moral debate. How do they handle conflicting duty. How much chaos can they get into on an enemy starship? the possibilities are very fun
Steve. okay, i could write a whole post about Steve and Toro's relationship and how they're foils/reflections of each other. But that's not what we're here for. There are two major points that define Toro and Steve in this context (and tbh most of their on screen interaction give me more marvel pls) 1. Toro's in humanification and 2. Hydra Cap. Starting off with the safer option, Steve was the first person Toro interacted with as an inhuman. Steve was there when Toro first came out of the cocoon, he's the one who explained everything to Toro and probably the one who got to here unadulterated fears/emotions about it. and given toro's history of being used as a lab rat/weapon/both, i'm betting some things came out. maybe some things other people don't know, which puts Steve very suddenly in a position to become Toro's confident. Someone he can trust and lean on with the stuff he'll never mention around the others. Which makes point 2 hurt even harder.
Even though hydra steve and real steve are different people, even though the steve we have now has tried very hard to make up for his evil clone's actions (oversimplification but whatever). It was still steve's face, and steve's voice, and the damage was still done. Toro, who had confided his deepest darkest fears in Steve, got to hear someone who was for all intents and purposes Steve say publicly that inhumans were so dangerous that they absolutely had to be locked away, with no nuance, no consideration. OUCH.
Toro's also in a tricky spot here, bc thanks to our dear friends Mad Thinker and nebulus soviet scientists (probably dept X) Toro knows first hand what it's like to be forced by forces out of your control to be something or someone else. He knows what it's like to come back from that and face the consequences for actions that both were and weren't his. He feels for Steve, but that doesn't mean he can just let it go.
As far as Steve goes, i think it's just really, really awkward now. He's very clearly still trying to heal the damage as recently as Invaders (2019). He's painfully aware that Toro is an inhuman and was thus very personally wronged by Hydra Steve, even if he isn't aware how far down that broken trust goes. He's spent years mending bridges with friend foe and stranger a like. But toro never mentions it, it's just floating there between them.
Toro was one of the first "mutant" super heroes. I know there are plenty of theories out there about what extent he expired/was related to magneto, prof X, and all the mutant stuff going down in the 60s. Him actually being an inhuman is definitely going to shake things up there, and it complicates the whole Inhumans v. Mutants angle. Could be very interesting both on general and personal levels.
