I WILL SURPRISE YOU SOME TIME (I'LL COME AROUND)

I) Young Love

If I only knew your name I'd go from door to door

Tell me, have you seen the boy I met just once before?

Young Love (Mystery Jets & Laura Marling)

To be honest, Katie couldn't recall when or how exactly she had started to notice him, to single him out of the many boys in the crowd.

First day of school, she was absolutely terrified to enter this new exciting world she only knew by reading Hogwarts, a History. She had heard many wonderful things about it from her parents, they had told her to wait until she turned 11 to get her letter. Wait, she definitely did. She was, and still is, eager to learn everything about magic. If there was anything anyone could say about her, it was that she's a hard worker. She's aware that she's not the most intelligent person (really, that title should go to Hermione Granger… that girl is mental) but she's willing to make up for it by working hard. During her years at Hogwarts, she often wondered why she wasn't Sorted into Hufflepuff.

Second day quickly went by, then a week, then two, and then another… she had grown to be familiar with her surroundings and her friends. What she had not become accustomed to was these… twins. They were loud, they played pranks all the time, they were obnoxious and she hated them. The only good thing was that she knew they weren't in the same year as her, so she didn't have to endure the constant fear of being picked on next. You could never be too careful around those two. Now that she thought about it, she wouldn't normally pay these boys any mind, but they were just really… red. What she meant by that was their hair, you could easily spot them coming from miles away. Back then, all she wanted was to go through her 7 years at Hogwarts with as little drama as possible. Oh, how the times have changed her in the best (and worst) possible way. How fate has graciously introduced her to the ones who had contributed a lot to her personal growth. How she has slowly, but surely and steadily fallen in love with him.

The earliest memory of when she actually started to tell them apart was during a Quidditch match in her 1st year. They were both already playing as Beaters for the Gryffindor Quidditch team at the time. That particular match (she couldn't even remember which House they were against) was so violent and drawn out, she could tell all players were getting exhausted. Then, out of nowhere, there was this voice crying out, "Look out!"

She watched in horror as a Bludger flew with high speed towards her. She closed her eyes and the next thing she felt was the swishing sound next to her ears and the rough pad of a club grazing her cheek.

She opened her eyes and there he was, bending down from his broomstick and asking her, "You alright?"

To which she replied shakily, "Yes."

He nodded to her, then he flew rapidly out of sight. She asked her friend (again, forgot who was with her at the time) which twin he was, and she was told he was George Weasley. She made a mental note so she could separate the two: George is the nice one.

She saw them the next day and she still couldn't tell them apart.
