Rachel Crowley has always kept her past locked away behind a borrowed name and a sharp smile.
But nothing stays buried forever: Especially not when Death Eater names start echoing again at the Quidditch World Cup.
With danger simmering beneath the surface and friends (especially her best friends Fred and George) looking at her like she's worth trusting, Rachel finds herself at a crossroads: When your identity is something you've spent your whole life hiding, can anyone ever really say they know you?
------
This story has lived in my heart for a long time. I've been working on Rachel's character for years and have written large parts of her journey in German-my native language. But only now do I feel ready to share this story in a language that isn't my own, and I'm both nervous and excited to finally do so.
I'll be adding tags and content notes as the chapters progress. My goal is to stay as close to canon as possible while weaving Rachel into the existing timeline.
Feedback, thoughts, or even quiet lurking is deeply appreciated.

Don't Give, Just Take | F. Weasley
Safeiarrah Celeste Phoenix have had a deep liking to her best friend, Fred. She's said nothing about her feelings to him, to anyone at all. He didn't seem interested in her the way she was, at least she thought he wasn't. And the feeling lingered in the back of her mind as she soared around the world, away from London. And after the second wizarding war, she vanished from thin air, until three years later. What if upon her arrival back to London a new, bolder, wiser version of herself exercised all the dirty things she learned upon her absence to Fred? Will he take her offer? Or will he choose to give their friendship over love? WARNING!!! SMUT!

Hey guys! This is my first ever published book, so be prepared for some of the writing to be doubtful. But I'll do my best. I hope you like it. Any comments are useful, so don't hesitate to show me your take on the story. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Rebecca Frey has secrets. Big ones. When she arrives at Hogwarts two years before Harry Potter, she meets Fred Weasley - charming, chaotic, and far too curious. Their friendship grows fast... but can it survive when the truth about Rebecca starts to slip through the cracks? ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ This story takes place two years before Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone, during Fred and George Weasley first year. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Most characters belong to J.K. Rowling and Warner bros. Entertainement Inc. New characters (such as Rebecca, Lila, and Thiago) and plot are my ideas. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ This is marked mature for graphic depictions of violence, ocasional swear words, depression, self-harm and a boy x boy relationship (the gay relationship mostly happens in the background, but I thought it was time to add a bit of LGBTQ+ to Harry Potter)

When Ella Montgomery joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team in third year, she never expected to find her closest friend in Fred Weasley - or how impossible it would be to stop falling for him. Now, with the war closing in and Hogwarts under the shadow of the Ministry, friendship isn't as simple as it used to be. Fred's laughter keeps her grounded when the world feels heavy, and Ella's steadiness keeps him from falling apart. But some things are harder to hide.especially when love feels like the only bit of light left. "You make me feel better, Ella. When everything's mad or terrifying or just too much. you make it stop, even if it's only for a bit." "You don't have to make me laugh, not tonight." As the Order gathers, secrets grow, and Dumbledore's Army rises, Fred and Ella find themselves caught between war and something far more fragile. each other. Because sometimes, in a world that's breaking, the bravest thing you can do is keep hold of the person who makes it feel whole. "When he's around, I feel safe. He feels like home." "You're trouble, Montgomery." "Good kind or bad kind?" "The only kind worth it." A story of love found in quiet moments, laughter shared between battles, and two hearts learning what it means to belong. even when everything else is falling apart.Complete
All The Ways I Loved You; Fred Weasley
SHE'S THE THIRD TWIN-without the red hair or the last name. Quick-witted, fiercely loyal, and a menace with a wand, Carys Delling has spent six years as Fred and George Weasley's ride-or-die. Detention buddies. Business partners. Chaos co-conspirators. They're the kind of inseparable that makes people wonder how many lines have already been crossed. But Carys knows the rules. Best friends don't fall in love-especially not with Fred Weasley. Especially not when he's always looking at someone else. So she keeps the truth buried under jokes and jinxes, pretending her heart doesn't race when he grins at her like she's the only person in the room. She tells herself this is enough. That being by his side, even if he never sees her that way, is worth the ache in her chest. But feelings don't stay quiet forever. Not when Hogwarts is changing, the future is closing in, and Fred-reckless, brilliant Fred-is starting to look at her a little differently. Like maybe he's been missing something that's been right there all along. Carys Delling doesn't lose. Not at Quidditch. Not in a prank war. And definitely not at love. So why does this feel like falling?Complete

But in your final year at Hogwarts, Oliver isn't making it easy. He's still chasing the Cup. Still impossibly driven. Still looking at you like you're meant to be part of something bigger-his team, his plans... maybe even his heart. You're not playing anymore.

The Secrets We Leave Behind | George Weasley
Secrets are second nature to Vivian. Raised in a tight knit community, who prided family and loyalty above all else, her life has revolved around preserving the village truths and, more importantly, keeping outsiders at bay. That is until her parent's latest disappearance, leaving only a cryptic message detailing their wishes for her to start a new life, far away from the family. A new life at Hogwarts. Haunted by the memory of the family she left behind and the secrets she still carries with her, will Vivian's new relationship with the Weasley twins, and George Weasley's increasing attempts to break down her walls, keep her anchored to Hogwarts, or will her past catch up with her again? *TRIGGER WARNING* this story will have mentions of death, blood, suicide, self harm, and other bodily injuries. I won't be putting TW before each chapter to avoid spoilers, so please do not read if any of those topics are uncomfortable for you The first couple chapters are a little rough if you stick with it they get better I think This is an AU where ilvermorny doesn't exist just fyi :) Book plot is happening but is not the focus of the story I do not support any actions or statements by JK Rowling but all characters other than my OCs are her's #2 in GeorgeWeasleyxOC - 7/8/2024
Wonderful Mischief (Fred Weasley x Reader x George Weasley)
Friends. That's all that they ever were to her, but is that all that they will continue to be? ...... Along with many others, Fred and George had always been some of Y/n's closest friends, but come her fifth year, it seems that they took a new kind of liking to her. She spent a lot of her time with the two, pulling pranks and messing around - just having fun with two of her best friends, not worrying about anything changing. Without her knowledge and to her surprise, it seemed that the twins had caught feelings for the girl and wanted her all to themselves. The question is, are those feelings returned?Complete
