Fred Weasley loved a lot of things in life. From pranking people with George to playing quidditch. But there was one thing Fred loved more than anything, your smile. Ever since Fred met you on the train to Hogwarts during your first year, he’s been hooked. Doing anything he can to make you smile.
The first time he purposely tried to make you smile was during first year when he found you alone in an alcove crying.
Fred was looking for you everywhere. You didn’t come down for dinner and he was getting worried. He hasn’t known you for long but what he did know is that you were never one to skip out on a meal. When dinner was almost over Fred decided to roll up some food and excused himself before heading off to look for you. He finally found you sitting in some hallway.
“Y/N” he called out
When he saw you he noticed tears in your eyes.
“Hey what’s wrong?” he questioned with worry in his eyes, kneeling down to sit by you.
“Huh? Or nothing I’m fine” you said while trying to discreetly wipe the tears from your eyes, scared to open up to him.
“Okay but just so you know I’m always here if you need someone to talk to.”
Noticing that you weren’t going to say something he continued on
“I brought you some food just in case you were hungry.”
He pulled out the food he brought and handed it to you. You took it and offered him a small smile.
You both sat together in silence as you ate. Comfortable silence. A couple of minutes later after finishing you spoke up
“Thanks Fred. I know it might not be a big deal but…” you hesitated tears forming again
Without thinking Fred reached for your hand in comfort. You were thankful to the low lighting in the hallway, for he would have been able to see the blush that rose on your cheeks. He gave you a reassuring look as you continued on
“I just… I miss my family. I haven’t been away from them for this long. I just don’t know what to do. I feel alone.”
“Oh. I'm sorry Y/N. It’ll be okay. I promise. If it helps, I'll be right by your side if you ever need someone to just sit with or talk to.”
By now the tears have stopped but you still had a small pout formed on your face.
Knowing you were at least feeling a little bit better, Fred decided to do what he knew best to make you feel a lot better. Tell you a joke.
"Hey there, (Y/N)," he said with a mischievous grin. You looked at him confused.
"I've got a joke for you."
You raised an eyebrow, unsure of what to expect. "Okay, I'm listening," you said with a small smile.
"Why did the chicken cross the playground?" Fred asked, unable to contain his laughter.
You rolled your eyes, already sensing that this was going to be a silly one. "I don't know, Fred. Why?"
"To get to the other slide!" he exclaimed, laughing so hard that he nearly doubled over.
You couldn't help but laugh at his ridiculous joke, and before you knew it, the two of you were both giggling like children on the playground. The tears were officially gone.
"Thanks for the laugh and the food, Fred," you said, still chuckling.
"Anytime, (Y/N)," he replied with a wink.
“Come on, let's head back to the common room.”
As you both walked away, still smiling, you couldn't help but feel grateful for Fred's infectious sense of humor. From the short time you’ve known Fred, he always had a way of making everything feel a little bit brighter.
Opening up to him might have been the best decision you have ever made.
————————
The second time was during 4th year when he realized that the crush he had on you wasn’t going away anytime soon.
As you walked through a hallway to get to the library, you heard someone whisper your name. You turned around and saw your best friend grinning mischievously at you.
"Hey there, Y/N," he said, holding up a small box wrapped in red and gold paper. "I got you a little something."
You took the box from him and opened it, revealing a set of brightly colored enchanted origami animals. They were so adorable that you couldn't help but smile.
"Oh my gosh, they're so cute!" you exclaimed, picking one up and bringing it closer to inspect.
Fred chuckled. "I knew you'd like them. I went out and found them after you talked about them the other day." He didn’t mention that he got them because he knew how happy they would make you.
“You remember that?” You asked shocked that he remembered something as tiny as that.
“Of course I did. That’s what best friends do,” he said.
As you played with the paper animals, your goal to head to the library forgotten, Fred leaned in closer to you. "You know, Y/N, you're almost as cute as these little guys," he whispered, winking at you.
You felt your cheeks turn red and couldn't help but smile. "Thank you Fred,” you said with your heart pounding. Fred definitely wasn’t the shy type when it came to making his feelings clear. You on the other hand weren't as daring but decided that you’d give it a chance. “You’re pretty cute as well.”
Shocked by your courage Fred couldn’t help but chuckle. He wasn’t expecting for you to reciprocate the same feelings as him. He was glad you did though.
After a bit he spoke up, “I was thinking we could head outside to have a little picnic with these little guys."
You laughed at his way of asking you out on a date. "Sounds like a plan, Weasley."
That was the first of the many dates you too would go on together.
————————
The third time was when he realized it was time to make it official with you.
You two didn’t really talk about becoming official since the switch from best friends wasn’t that noticeable. All he knew was that he found himself falling harder and harder for you - being drawn to your kind and caring personality he’s loved for so long. He knew he wasn’t going to find anyone else that was going to be able to put up with his constant pranks or clingy behavior after a tough quidditch practice. You were it for him. So, when Fred realized he hadn’t officially asked you to be his, he got to planning.
The time came during one afternoon as you were both sitting by the lake after a long day. You two hadn’t seen each other for most of the day since you had to meet with a classmate and Fred had quidditch practice.
Fred had packed a small picnic basket with some of your favorite snacks. Hidden between them was a little box he made with a note and a necklace with the date on it. As you were eating you mindlessly grabbed the box. When you opened it, you couldn’t help but gasp.
Y/N I’ve loved you for forever and I’m hopeful you’ll allow me to call you mine? - Fred
“Yes of course Fred!” You exclaimed while throwing your arms around him. “I love you so much.”
When Fred pulled away the sight he was met with made all of these years worth it. Your bright smile lit up your whole face. He was reminded once again of one of the reasons he was so in love with you.
You probably smiled the hardest that day.
————————
The fourth time was when he felt like he hadn’t seen your smile in years (it was like a minute)
Throughout your relationship with Fred, his mischievous side was becoming more noticeable, and today was no different. You were sitting in the Gryffindor common room, buried in a book, when Fred plopped down next to you.
"Whatcha reading there, Y/N?" he asked, peering over your shoulder.
"It's just a muggle novel," you replied, trying to keep your place in the book.
"A muggle novel, eh?" Fred said, his eyes lighting up mischievously. "I bet I could make it a lot more interesting."
Before you could protest, Fred had snatched the book out of your hands and began to wave his wand over it. Suddenly, the characters on the page began to come to life, jumping off the paper and into the room.
You looked around in amazement as the characters and scenes from your book suddenly came to life. When he decided to erase the spell, you couldn’t but chuckle at your boyfriend.
"You're insane, Fred," you said, trying not to laugh at the absurdity of the situation.
"Insane? No, just a little bit crazy," Fred replied, winking at you. "You know you love it."
As the craziness of the moment came to an end and you opened back up to your page, you couldn't help but smile. Fred may have been a troublemaker, but he was your troublemaker.
————————
The last time (for now) was when he went out of his way to plan the best date night ever.
The year was coming to an end meaning classes were becoming stressful. Fred noticed and decided to try and help you.
You were walking back to the common room when all of a sudden Fred was by your side, a charming smile on his face.
“Gosh Fred you scared me!” You said putting a hand up to your chest.
"I have a surprise for you," he said, wiggling his eyebrows.
You rolled your eyes. "What kind of surprise? You know I have work to do."
"It's a secret," he said, holding his finger to his lips. "But I promise you'll love it."
Fred led you down several twisting corridors and up a staircase before finally stopping in front of a portrait. He muttered a word and the portrait swung open, revealing a hidden room filled with anything you could ever think of.
"Ta-da!" Fred exclaimed, gesturing to the room.
You couldn't help but laugh at the sight. "What's all this for?"
"Just because," Fred said with a shrug. "I thought you could use a little cheering up."
You felt your heart warm at his thoughtfulness. "Thank you, Fred. This is amazing."
He grinned. "Anything for you, Y/N."
You spent the next couple hours exploring the room - enjoying the time you were spending with your boyfriend without a care in the world. It was definitely something you needed.
As you were leaving the room, Fred stopped you for a second and turned you around so you were facing him.
"Did you know I love your smile? It makes me the happiest when I realize I’m the reason you’re smiling," he said softly.
You blushed at his words grinning up at him. “How did I get so lucky? Thank you for always making me smile. You always know how to brighten my mood.”
Fred's face lit up, and he pulled you closer to give you a sweet kiss. You both pulled away smiling from ear to ear.
You couldn’t help but laugh, feeling grateful to have such an amazing boyfriend.
