Harry Potter One Shots

New Person (Fred Weasley)

A/N: Fred's siblings watch him changing his style and personality to impress his new Ravenclaw girlfriend

3rd POV:
George, Ron and Ginny were confused with Fred. He had been different the past couple months. He didn't do many pranks with George anymore, opting to go to the library and study. For the first time in 7 years, he went to the library, to study.

Next was the glasses, the glasses that didn't have a prescription, he would wear them during class. Fred had never played attention that much to the books in class to need glasses. Eventually he would wear them all day, in the common room, the corridors, the Great Hall during meals.

Since Ginny started her 3rd year, she and her three brothers would always go to Hogsmeade together once a month, since then it was tradition. Fred continued the tradition for the first couple months since school started but eventually stopped going, saying he had study group. 

They were all shocked when he said that, yes Fred went to classes and turn in some assignments, but now he started writing his own essays, reading the textbooks, going to study groups.

Fred became more proper, using whole words, not slimming them down, broadening his vocabulary, saying words no one really thought he knew, it was funny for his siblings to watch him try to incorporate them into sentences.

The biggest thing was the outfit change. His usual Weasley sweaters, and bright red and orange shirts quickly turned into earth tones, browns, lighter oranges, black, grey. The jeans turned into plaid pants, his sweaters from his mum became turtlenecks.

George, Ginny, Ron and Harry had a laughing day when Fred came down the boys dorm stairs in a pair of brown plaid pants, a lighter brown turtleneck, black doc martens and trench coat in his arms.

"What are you wearing?" Ron said through his laugh.

"What does it look bad?" Fred looked down at his outfit.

"You look fine." Hermione reassured.

"Right then, I'm going to leave." Fred looked his siblings and friends before walking out of the common room.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking." George looked at his brother and sister.

"Spy on Fred." They both said in unison.

"Exactly." He smirked.

"I don't think that's a good idea?" Hermione looked at them.

"Come on Hermione please don't tell me you've been curious on why Fred has been acting different these past couple months, he is a completely different person." Ginny looked at her friend.

"What if he's doing something important or private." Hermione urged not wanting to interrupt whatever he was doing.

"Nothing Fred does is important." Ron laughed.

"I guess." Hermione released her shoulders.

"Fred I've told you, just because I dress like this, doesn't mean you have too." Y/n laughed a bit looking at her boyfriend as he walked towards Three Broomsticks.

Y/n knew what he was doing, the two had been dating for almost five months and since the beginning, he slowly started changing things about himself hoping she would like him more.

"I'm doing it because of you, I like it too, you know." Fred pulled out her chair. The only thing that hadn't change, was his humor, the humor that got the two of them together.

"Look Fred, you don't need to change your personality or wear glasses that you don't need, doing all of that won't make me like you more, I like the Fred who charmed his way on asking me out." Y/n grabbed his hand.

"Okay, I may have been doing that in the beginning, but I'm liking this look." Fred gestured to himself. "Tell me you don't like this either."

"You do look quite handsome." Y/n smirk checking him out, looking him up and down.

"Hey, my eyes are up here." Fred joked.

"I know." Y/n replied. "Look I'm happy that finding a new part of yourself and expressing it with clothing, but you don't do it for me, do it for you."

"Don't go all soft on me now." Fred teased.

"I'm not going soft, I'm just saying it from the heart." Y/n replied.

"I love you." Fred squeezed her hand.

"I love you too." Y/n said back.

The group of Gryffindors sat in a corner booth as they saw Fred and a girl walk into the bar. Holding hands, smiling, George had to cover his laugh when Fred helped her sit down.

"Is Fred on a date?" Harry looked at his friends.

"No way Fred got a date with his cheeky comments." Ron replied.

The group wasn't close enough to hear their conversation but they could see the romance in the air, Fred was practically making heart eyes at the girl.

"Who is he with?" Ron looked at George.

"Not sure, I think she's in one of my classes." George tried to take a look at her.

"That's Y/n L/n, 7th year Ravenclaw, I used to be in her study group, quite hard to get into." Hermione answered.

"You mean the same study group that Fred goes too." George raised an eyebrow.

"I think so, I saw him waiting on a pillar outside of the library after a session, probably waiting for her." Hermione shrugged.

"I love you." They heard say. "I love you too."

"I don't think they're on their first date." Harry said.

"I don't think so either." Ron looked at the couple who were now snogging.

***

"Hey." Fred greeted his friends as he walked back into the common room.

"Hey." They all replied.

"Did you have fun on your date." George teased.

"What?" Fred raised an eyebrow. "Wait, were you stalking us."

"You've been acting different and we wanted to see why." Ron said. "Looks like you got a girlfriend."

"So you did stalk me!" Fred exclaimed.

"Hey don't need to get defensive." George put his hands up in surrender.

"Know we now who he's trying to impress." Ron said to Harry.

"I'm not trying to impress anyone." Fred let out a huff. "I'm just trying out a new style. I like it and Y/n likes it. Now if you excuse me, I need to go change."

"Going out for another date?" George wiggled his brows.

"Spending the night with Y/n." Fred answered.

"Oooo." Ron laughed.

"Not like that." Fred groaned. "I'm just going to leave."

"He's whipped." George joked once Fred left.
