She didn't mean to let him in. George Weasley with his stupid jokes and bright eyes and the way he says her name like it's something sacred. She kept her head down for years, tried to stay small, safe, unseen. But he talks to her like she's brave. Like he sees something in her worth sticking around for. And maybe he does. Because when he's near, the fear gets quiet. And for the first time, she starts to think... maybe someone could choose her. And mean it. This fan-fiction is based off the Harry Potter franchise It takes place at the beginning of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters apart from my OC - Avery Collins
