Roxanne/Lorcan

First Time

The first time Roxanne saw Lorcan, she thought he was strange, and perhaps not all there. The first time Roxanne spoke to Lorcan, she began to think that perhaps he wasn't so bad after all. The first time Roxanne was complimented by Lorcan, she'd thought he was sweet and kind. The first time Roxanne kissed Lorcan, it was because he was there, and she needed to feel loved.

She understood it wasn't fair. She knew this from the moment she'd decided to kiss him, but went ahead with it anyway. Roxanne had never had a boyfriend before, and she was beginning to feel lonely. She was Roxanne, the younger sister of Fred Weasley the Second. She was rebellious, and athletic, and simply desperate to shine beside the brother named after the dead war hero everyone had loved.

She knew her dad loved her more than life itself, but sometimes she wondered if he sometimes mistook Fred for his long-dead brother, and if because of that he loved Fred a little more. Maybe if she got a boyfriend, he'd notice her, and that was what she wanted.

Roxanne thought later that perhaps this wasn't the best way to go about it.

She'd felt guilty, at first, stringing Lorcan along like this. It wasn't in her nature at all – she was rebellious, yes, but not nasty. And when her dad found out who she was dating, he tried to be nice about it, but eventually lost his temper and flew off the handle at her when he found them kissing one day, saying that she was too young. Maybe she was, but Roxanne found that the more her dad got cross at her, the more she was beginning to like Lorcan.

And one day, something happened.

Roxanne hadn't planned on this at all. Who plans on falling in love with the random person they dated just to try to get someone else to notice them for completely different reasons? Who would even think of falling in love with Lorcan Scamander, that rather odd boy in Ravenclaw?

But it had happened. Sometimes things don't plan out the way we expect, and for Roxanne, this turned out to be a very good thing. Because Roxanne fell in love for the first time with the first boy she kissed, and he turned out to be the only boy she fell in love with.
