Meh. This just seems like it's lacking something to me... I might go back in rewrite it someday... Oh well. We'll get into the more angsty stuff some time soon :p. Until then, please review!

He's trying to live up to a legend, she's trying to break away from a curse.

It is here, she knows, that these two worlds meet in an explosion of color. His a cookie cutter pallet of black and white, hers a vibrant rainbow of imagination.

They dance constantly on edge around each other. Their family thinks they do it from hate, only they know its truly from fear.

He fears that she will tell. Tell the world that he is not who he pretends to be. She fears that he will show. Show the world that she is just an imperfect copy of the oh so perfect Molly Weasley.

Molly Weasley ii knows that in one wrong move she could fall into the set mold of who she never wants to be. She loves her grandmother, she really does, but that is not who she wants to be.

No, Molly wants to be the girl bathed in color. The wide eyed dreamer. No expectations, just freedom to be whoever she wants to be. Unfortunately for her, with a name like Molly Weasley, it was never to be. It's not what's expected of her. No, she's supposed to be the level headed mother figure who everyone adores.

But she can't do that. Perhaps it's because she's never even tried. She thinks its simply because that's not who she is. Not who she wants to be.

She knows her cousin Fred is on the same predicament. To many expectations, and not enough freedom. They are alike in that way, and she thinks that this should bring them together. If anything, it rips them apart.

He's resigned to playing the part, while she tries her hardest to brake away from the role. She thinks she understands.

Without her twin dreamers to keep her head in the clouds, she'd be in the same exact place. Yes Lorcan and Lysander have always let her be who she wants to be. That in its self is the ultimate reason why she loves them.

They help her be who she needs to be. Not who she's expected to be. Molly knows if Fred had someone like them, he could brake away and be his own person. She knows that she could be this person, but she also knows she can't. She can't because if she does, she could lose herself along the way. And as selfish as she is, she just couldn't risk it. She hates herself for it, but she also loves herself too much to care.
