Masks
Fred Weasley had many masks. Until one day he saw her. Standing alone near the table at the Burrow, surrounded by people but still lonely, surrounded by different masks uncertain who to choose, which one to wear.

Fred Weasley had many masks.
A mask of a clown, a mask of a knight, a mask of a quidditch player, a mask of brave, a mask of coward and many more masks.
Until one day he saw her. Standing alone near the table at the Burrow, surrounded by people but still lonely, surrounded by different masks uncertain who to choose, which one to wear.
The mask of happiness or the mask of saddens? Maybe the indifferent mask is the correct one to wear?
Thus Fred Weasley fell in love with the masked girl, Hermione Granger is her name.
Six years have passed since that day. She continued to fiddle with her masks, and he stayed hidden among the shadows wearing a mask of his own keeping an eye on her.
It was Halloween when it finally happened.
There was a big party in the Burrow with a big dance floor, many people and loud music. Fred Weasley was wearing a new mask that night, a mask he bought.
He saw her by the table, standing at the same place where he noticed her masks for the first time all those years ago. She was wearing a sparkly red dress, her hair was done in two braids and she was still surrounded by different masks uncertain who to choose, which one to wear.
He approached her and asked "Would you care for a dance?" she glanced towards him "I am busy" she muttered. "With what?" he asked "Trying to pick the perfect mask?" Hermione blushed having been caught and took the hand he offered. They danced together all night and left with an unspoken promise to meet again, this time for a proper date.
Not long after said night he asked her to become his wife. And today he sees her walking towards him down the aisle, in that white dress and big smile.
Years have passed since the first time he saw her surrounded by different masks uncertain who to choose, which one to wear, and Fred Weasley no longer wears a mask.
