Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or have any relation at all to J.K. Rowling. If not, I'll be rolling in dough in a mansion up the hill publishing my own books. Sadly, I'm not.
Hey! So this story is considered kinda like a prequel to Once Bitten, Twice Shy and kinda' depicts the build-up of Fred and Haylie's relationship up until Fred's death. Sadly, it'll be kind of short because I don't have a lot of time here (And this is also partly the reason for my not updating Prine of Olympus for so long) Hope you enjoy and check out my story Once Bitten, Twice Shy for more background info. Thanks!

How to Capture a Prankster's Heart
Fred wasn't sure when he fell in love with Haylie Potter but it sure as hell wasn't an instantaneous thing.
The first thing he thought when he first saw the savior of the Wizarding world was that she looked like his sister. With her mousy ginger hair and small, petite frame, he had almost thought she was his sister at first- but just as he'd been about to ruffle her hair or some other Fred-like thing that would have embarrassed him 'till kingdom come, the Ginny lookalike had turned around and their eyes had met.
Green on brown.
He felt his mouth go dry and he offered her a hand in lugging her heavy-looking trunk into the train.
Later that evening, while Fred was lying on his bed at Hogwarts and thinking about how much he missed his mother's cooking and the warmth of his home, he thought of how pretty Haylie Potter had looked when she'd smiled at him for his offer to help.
