I had always lived in my brother's shadow. Gideon and Fabian Prewett. They rule the school. When I started school, Gideon was in 5th Year and Fabian was in 3rd Year and from that moment on, I had many expectations of me. The summer between 1st and 2nd year, Mother started her 'training' on me. She wanted me to marry a Black or another pureblood but I didn't want to. She was doing the same to my brothers but we rebelled against her. I got sent to my room with "Molly Anne Prewett, We are so disappointed in you. These are hard times we are living in and you are being so selfish'. I didn't see it as being selfish. I saw it as standing my ground.
It wasn't until 3rd year, I noticed him. Arthur Weasley. The weird boy in my year and house. He had an unhealthy obsession with muggles. Everyone avoided him. I tried to make friends with him in 1st year but he said he was better alone. I felt sorry for him, but then Prof. Flitwick put us together to work on a charms project. I was scared at first. Would his focus on muggles drive the attention away from Charms? I didn't want to fail.
He was always a shy one and avoided socialising. I could see my friends Georgina Longbottom and Sally Jones laughing at me. I shrugged at them.
"So we should get on with this, sparks fly. Looks pretty easy" I said to him. He nodded. Of course, he hardly talked. He was a good partner if I was being honest. At the end of the lesson, I was packing up and about to leave when I looked back at him. I really felt for him. "Hey, do you want to sit with us at dinner?" I asked. I could feel Georgina and Sally's eyes silently killing me in my back. "Erm, Okay. Thanks" He replied. I smiled at him and he quickly followed me.
Whoever said he wasn't good company was a liar. Yes, he had his muggle obsession but I found him a laugh. We become good friends over the next two years. Now, in 5th year, I was finding myself slowly falling in love with him. I didn't tell him of course- until he asked me out. It was the first Hogsmeade trip after the Christmas holidays. I sat in the common room doing some potions work when he came up to me.
"Hey Molly, do you want to come to Hogsmeade with me?" He asked me, his eyes not meeting mine.
"Sure" I replied, smiling.
"But not as friends, as like a date" He then said.
I felt myself going red and coming as bright as my hair colour.
"Sure Arthur sounds cool" I told him.
Georgina and Sally thought I was crazy. I laughed it off with them. I liked proving people wrong.
The day came and I was so nervous. My brothers stopped me as I walked down to the entrance.
"Have fun Mollykins but if he hurts you, send him to us" Fabian told me.
"Yes, I have come pretty handy with a bat bogey hex" Gideon added.
I laughed and walked to meet Arthur. He was waiting, near Hagrid's. Apart from me, he could always talk to Hagrid.
"You ready to go?" He asked. I nodded, unable to breathe. I always been a confident person, but he was making me like jelly.
He took me to the sherking shack, of all places. I wasn't going to question it. I guess it was quiet for him, out of the way. We were talking and laughing, when he did something I thought he would never do. He leaned over and kissed me. I was taken back. I gasped as he came in contact with me. But I didn't pull away. I welcomed it. I knew it was the start of something perfect. This was my first kiss and it was perfect.
