Harry Potter One Shots

I'm Nothing Special (Fred Weasley) Pt 2

A/N: Part 2 of I'm Nothing Special

TW: Anxiety, body dysmorphia and ED

Y/n POV:
I let out a groan as heard my alarm go off. I could tell this would be an off day. I've had them more than usual lately. I heard Luna shift in her bed. The two of us shared a dorm because no one wanted to sleep next to Loony Lovegood and the girl who had mental issues. I was fine with it, Luna was my best friend, someone who would always be there for me.

"Is it one of those days again?" Luna sat up on her bed.

"Yeah, don't worry, I can do it." I assured her.

Slowly I rolled off of bed, dragging my legs to the bathroom, to get ready. It was Saturday so I didn't need to get ready for classes, but I think Fred wanted to go to Hogsmeade today. I stepped out in a pair of blue baggy jeans, a dark blue crewneck with a white undershirt and pairing it with a white headband and silver jewelry. Once Luna finished getting ready, the two of us walked towards the Great Hall.

For most meals we would sit at the Gryffindor table, Luna would hang out with Ginny (both of them had a crush on each other and were totally adorable) while I would talk with Fred and a few others.

"Good morning." We greeted sitting down at the table. I downside to my body dysmorphia, there would times I would go days without eating, or binge. I developed an eating disorder last year.

I didn't engage conversation just nods and smiles indicating I was listening. I looked over to Fred who was girl, Millie I think her name was. You could tell she was flirting with him, batting her eyelashes, running her fingers down her arm.

Maybe he likes her better than me, maybe he is just stringing me along for his amusement. He stayed with me for 4 months, longer than most people. She has long straight brown hair, pretty eyes, she wears makeup, I don't wear makeup. No wonder Fred is paying attention to her she's perfect.

Stop it Y/n, snap out of it.

I blinked a few times before letting my thoughts consume me.

"Hey Freddie, do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me?" I heard Millie say innocently. I instantly froze, Fred had taken me to every Hogsmeade trip this year. Of course he would go with her, she's better than me.

I grabbed my bag and left the table ignoring the calls I was getting.

Fred POV:
"Hey Freddie, do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me?" Millie ran her finger down my arm. I know she fancies me, has since 2nd year, but I made it quite clear I fancied someone else. Before I could answer, I saw Y/n get up and leave the hall.

"Y/n! Y/n!" I shouted which she ignored.

"So? Do you want to come?" Millie asked again. I let out a small huff before answering. "No, I've told many times I don't want to go on a date with you, I fancy someone else."

"Whatever." She muttered before getting up and leaving.

"Luna, do you know where Y/n might have went?" I asked her.

"Probably the dorm, it's her safe space." She replied.

I shot up and ran out of the hall towards the Ravenclaw tower. I climbed the stairs before making it in front of the door. "What can be broken without being held?"

"A promise." I answered and it opened. The common was empty, but I climbed up the stairs before walking towards Y/n's dorm. A knocked a few times without an answer and tried to open the door which was unlocked. I entered her dorm, her books stacked, bed made, she was always organized in life, the total opposite of me. She wasn't at her desk or bed, but I did hear the shower running, but all her toiletries were still by her closet.

I walked over to the bathroom door, hearing muffled cries through the faucet.

"Y/n." I knocked. "It's Fred." No answer. I tried again but still no answer. I grabbed my wand and muttered the spell to unlock the door. Once it unlocked and I opened the door, there was Y/n. Sitting in the showers, knees to her chest, watering running and her clothes soaked.

My heart broke at the sight of her.

"Oh love." I whispered before stepping in and sitting down next to her. "Are you alright?" I grabbed her hand running my thumb over her knuckles.

"Why are you here?" She looked up at me tear eyed. "Out of all the places you could be, why are you here?"

"I care about you, I saw that you weren't doing well this morning, I wanted to know you were okay." I whispered.

"So instead of going to Hogsmeade with Millie who is absolutely perfect, you're sitting in a shower with me, while I cry." She replied.

"I don't want to go to Hogsmeade with her, I wanted to go with you. We've been going together all year." I reminded.

"I don't quite understand why you hang out with me, I hang out with 'Loony Lovegood', I'm the one with all the mental problems, everyone who comes into my life just wants to help me, and once I start improving, their goal has succeed and they leave." Y/n confessed.

"You are so much more than that. You so smart, getting O's on all assignments. You read at an incredible speed I can't read with you anymore. You are kind to the kids who get bullied on. Why dwell on the negative, when the positive is so much better." I praised.

"You could have anyone you want." She looked down. "Why would you want to be with me? I'm nothing special."

I cupped her jaw and moved it up so she was looking at me. "You are more than special. To me you are perfect in my eyes. The way you wrinkle your nose when you concentrate on an essay, or when you're reading and your baby hairs get in the way, you blow them away. How your eyes light up whenever someone mentions muggle literature, when you lick off the foam from your upper lip when you drink butterbeer."

"You told me you're secrets, your disorders and I didn't run like everyone else. I know what I got myself into. I love you for the way you are, I never really enjoyed basic, I was always interested in the adventures, and I know with you, I could have the best adventures of my life."

"I'm not saying you need to confess your undying love for me." I laughed a bit. "But, just know I will always be in your corner, In your darkest days I will hold your hand. Whatever your soul is made of, it's the same as mine."

I caressed her cheek as she leaned into the palm of my hand, letting her breathing calm down.

"How about I run a bath so you can get warmed up, and we can stay in?" I asked.

"Yeah, that's sounds nice." She gave a small smile.

I helped her up, run the bath removed her clothes and rested her against my chest, wrapping my arms around her, placing my head on top of hers.

"I think I love you." She confessed. "It's scary, but I do. I love you."

"I love you too darling." I kissed the top of head.
