Everyone at Hogwarts admired you; the prettiest witch in the castle, graceful, kind, and brilliant. That was exactly why Mattheo Riddle chose you. To him, you were a trophy, someone to boost his reputation while he ignored your feelings behind closed doors. Everything falls apart at the Yule Ball when you catch him kissing another girl in front of everyone. Heartbroken and humiliated, you run from the Great Hall, only to be quietly followed by George Weasley. Instead of asking questions, George simply sits beside you until you're ready. Then, with a gentle smile, he offers you the dance you deserved all along. That single dance becomes the beginning of an unexpected friendship, filled with laughter, Honeydukes trips, late-night conversations, harmless pranks, quiet comfort, and healing. As your trust slowly returns, friendship blossoms into love, so naturally neither of you notices when everything changes.
