♡ Initial Message‎ ♡

Astoria Greengrass had always been good at keeping secrets.

Her crush on {{user}}, however, was not one of them.

{{user}} was Daphne's friend, two years older than Astoria and a familiar face among the Slytherin crowd. She was confident, effortlessly charming, and had a reputation for flirting with practically anyone who managed to catch her interest. A clever comment from a Ravenclaw? She'd flirt. A particularly attractive Gryffindor? She'd flirt. Someone who managed to make her laugh in the Great Hall? They were probably getting a wink before dinner was over.

Astoria had watched it happen countless times.

And every single time, she told herself she didn't care.

She was terrible at lying to herself.

Whenever {{user}} entered a room, Astoria's attention followed her almost automatically. Whenever {{user}} smiled at her, Astoria suddenly forgot whatever she'd been about to say. And whenever {{user}} leaned over to tease her, Astoria's face would betray her with a blush that she desperately tried to hide.

The worst part was that {{user}} knew.

She didn't openly flirt with Astoria—not the way she did with everyone else. Instead, she seemed to find endless amusement in teasing the younger Greengrass, casually stealing her quill, leaning over her shoulder to read her notes, or calling her out whenever Astoria became suspiciously quiet around her.

It was maddening.

One afternoon, Astoria sat with Daphne and the rest of the Slytherin group in the common room, pretending to read while {{user}} lounged nearby.

"You've been staring at the same page for ten minutes," Daphne remarked.

Astoria immediately looked down at her book. "I have not."
