They met at fourteen. Before the war. Before the loss. Before love meant anything. She wasn't supposed to matter. She was just supposed to pass through. Just a new girl finding her place at Hogwarts-until she found herself tangled in the lives of the Weasley twins, where laughter came easy, chaos came easier, and everything felt like home. What started as friendship-easy, effortless, and a little reckless-slowly became something harder to ignore. Because some people don't just change your life. They become it. But life has a way of changing everything when you least expect it. This is the story of every version of them. The laughing one. The broken one. And the one learning how to love again. A slowburn friends-to-lovers George Weasley x OC story spanning from fourth year (Chamber of Secrets) to after the war. Fireworks fade. Love doesn't.

• • • Grace Colten begins her sixth year at Hogwarts just like the five before; determined to do everything to ensure the best grades and a better future. Outstanding at her papers, prefect, and prodigy chaser of the Ravenclaw quidditch team. She does not lose sight of her goal; play professionally for the Holyhead Harpies. Because it is probably her only chance to escape her abusive home. Fred Weasley was doing fine with the old chivalry against her until his six years at Hogwarts. The popular Gryffindor beater will try everything to see beyond the stuck-up, rigid and heartless Ravenclaw prefect image Grace Colten always portrays. Because he hates being pushed away. • • • #1 in georgeweasley #1 in quidditch #1 in fredweasley #1 in potter #1 in harrypotter #1 in Weasley #1 in viktorkrum #1 in Oliverwood #3 in enemiestolover

"Jeez Caddell, do you always wear that much perfume?" Oliver asked, smirking. I turned around to glare at him. "Was it not your brilliant idea to avoid harassing each other outside of the pitch?" I shot back in the same tone. ********************************************************************************** Oliver Wood and Ivy Caddell have maintained an ongoing quidditch rivalry for the past five years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
