For as long as she could remember, Y/N Diggory had been invisible. While her older brother, Cedric Diggory, was admired by nearly everyone at Hogwarts, she remained the quiet, overlooked sister who rarely drew anyone's attention, despite the Diggorys and Weasleys being close family friends for years. She had spent years secretly loving Fred Weasley from a distance, knowing he barely knew she existed and convincing herself that was enough. But after a fiery argument with Angelina Johnson erupts in front of the entire school, Fred's pride gets the better of him. Desperate to prove he'd already moved on, he blurts out the first name that comes to mind鈥擸/N Diggory. Suddenly thrust into the center of Hogwarts' gossip, Y/N reluctantly agrees to a fake relationship that is only supposed to last until Fred and Angelina find their way back to each other. At first, Fred sees her as nothing more than the quiet girl doing him a favor, and the two struggle to get along, but the more time they spend pretending to be together, the more he discovers the warmth, wit, and quiet strength she'd hidden from the world. What begins as stolen glances for the sake of appearances, fake dates, and rehearsed affection slowly becomes effortless, and before either of them realizes it, the feelings they've spent so long pretending to have become painfully real. When Angelina finally wants Fred back, he's forced to face a truth he never expected鈥攖hat somewhere along the way, he stopped pretending and fell in love with the girl he'd never taken the time to truly see.
