a/n for the amazing lovisa, again for her anniversary =]
MollyAngus ;; invisible
She knows she's done for the moment he smiles at her, just a tiny quirk of his lips sent in her direction across the table, a motion that seems so perfect and significant to her fifteen year old mind. Every tiny action of his requires hours of mental deliberation over whether he's thinking about her. She thanks Merlin that everyone leaves Hogwarts at Christmas, because it gives her an excuse to talk to him without seeming like a stalker.
Her eyes drop from his face to his hands, one wound tightly in the grasp of another girl, and oh, it's like the worlds turns around and leaves her hanging upside down, because it was only a moment ago that she was convinced he loves her.
He smiles at her again, and she allows herself to hope that maybe she's mistaken, but then he turns away and kisses the other girl on the cheek, and she realises she's been fooling herself all along, because he doesn't love her. Of course he doesn't. She's only Molly Weasley after all, and it's easy for her to be invisible, like a ghost among the Christmas snow that covers the ground outside. What a merry Christmas it's been, she thinks bitterly, unable to tear her gaze away from the boy with the girl who will never be her.
Life goes by, and she pretends she's fine, and tries to stitch herself back together with moth eaten string and rusty needles, because she's as unwanted as always. She's not even good enough for a boy like him, who is kind and smart and sympathetic, the kind of boy she thought she would find her happily ever after with.
But slowly time creeps by without her noticing and counting every second since he unwittingly broke her heart, and eventually she can look at them without her heart threatening to splinter. She's only fifteen, after all, and the easiest thing in the world to do is fall in and out of love.
Angus McLaggen is the son of Beth & Cormac McLaggen, the older brother to Carla McLaggen, and is a Ravenclaw. Just a little background information ;)
