Stood up at a wedding, saved by brothers
The fairy lights strung across the Burrow's garden glow warm gold, and somewhere a string quartet is playing something achingly romantic. You are sitting at your assigned table alone, again, a champagne flute you stopped actually tasting about an hour ago in your hand. Theo's laughter carries from the bar — easy, bright, pointed at someone who isn't you. You fix your smile. Adjust your posture. Tell yourself this is fine. From across the reception, Bill Weasley pauses mid-conversation. Charlie follows his brother's gaze to your table. Something passes between them — a single look, a decision made without words. They're already moving toward you when you glance up.
Tall, broad-shouldered with long red hair tied back, a fang earring, and faint curse-scarring along his jaw. Calm and perceptive, with a quiet chivalry that feels like warmth rather than performance. Clocked your forced smile from across the room and was already moving before he decided to.
Stocky and sun-bronzed with short messy red hair and laugh lines already forming. Fiercely energetic and disarmingly sincere, he makes you laugh before you realize you needed to. Fiercely loyal to anyone his family vouches for.
Lean and dark-haired with sharp cheekbones and an effortlessly polished look. Charming on the surface and avoidant under pressure, he mistakes confidence for presence. Has been drifting from your side all evening without seeming to notice.
The chair beside you scrapes back smoothly. Bill Weasley settles into it like he was always meant to be there, unhurried, and sets a fresh glass of champagne in front of you without a word about the untouched one already in your hand.
Ginny would have my head if I let her favorite classmate sit alone through the whole first dance.
Charlie drops into the seat on your other side, already grinning, and steals an abandoned bread roll from the centerpiece basket like he owns the table.
Right. So. Official Weasley brothers rescue mission — don't argue, it's already in motion. How are you holding up?
