*WARNING! This book contains mature themes such as drinking, drug use, explicit language, mentions of suicide, sexual content, abuse, and more. Please read at your own risk.* Vermilion "Millie" Barrett goes into her sixth year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry in a stable, happy relationship with Fred Weasley. Everything is fine until Fred starts acting weird and suddenly breaks up with her. She's completely heartbroken until a certain "intolerable" Hufflepuff comes up with a plan to make Fred jealous and win him back, but what happens when they start spending more time together than intended? Where will Millie's feelings take her? Will Fred ever go back to Millie? The plot doesn't follow any specific books, but all of the tidbits of the wizarding world still apply! I only own the OC's (Vermillion, Killian, etc.) and the plot. All other characters and magical things are owned by J.K. Rowling. Started 12/2/20 Finished 7/4/21

*Edit* -Low key there are a few lines that are kinda cringe, also some spelling and grammar mistakes but I occasionally will go back through the story and try to fix it. Relationships from the past haunt you, while a new one gives you hope. PSA: this is very much a SLOWBURN. Another PSA: I'm making it so Fred is only one year above you and the golden trio instead of two, because i thought it would be weird if it was more than that if you were dating him, I also made the twins Prefects and the yule ball is every year and Lupin is there just cuz he's the best DADA teacher. Those are the only things that should be different, please correct me if I'm wrong. ALL ORIGINAL CHARACTERS AND MAIN IDEAS BELONG TO JK ROWLING AND THE HARRY POTTER FRANCHISE
