Love is complicated; at least that's what everyone usually says when dealing with situations of the heart. Love doesn't have meaning, logic, or even luck. So it wasn't surprising to a set of two red headed 11 year old boys when, on the first night of arriving to Hogwarts, they both fell head over heels for the same girl.

Fred and George Weasley were waiting in line to be sorted, both sneaking glances around the great hall, analyzing who would be the best people to prank, when both eyes simultaneously landed on a small chubby girl walking up to the hat to get sorted. Bright amber eyes framed beautifully by reddish brown bangs, wavy hair that looked smooth to the touch and plump peach lips contrasted with the slightly tanned skin from the past summer made both boys suddenly dry mouthed and dizzy.

So when the hat proceeded to sort her into Ravenclaw both pouted and wished that they had a little more chance of getting into any other house besides Gryffindor. Since all the Weasleys were sorted into Gryffindor it was no surprise when Fred and George were both sitting next to their brothers at Gryffindor table staring across at the cute Ravenclaw as she talked to a blonde girl with glasses sitting next to her.

A few shared classes with Ravenclaw later, in which both twins conveniently snagged the table behind her, they managed to discover her name was Ambre Duprée, though she preferred the English version of her name Amber. She was a pureblood French girl who recently moved to England with her father and received an invitation to attend Hogwarts instead of Beauxban. The fact that she was French was given away the first moment she talked. Although she did not have a heavy accent it was still identifiable and both boys felt their stomachs clench and heart race every time she spoke.

Both Fred and George spent the next couple of months gathering intel on Amber. Although only 11 they both knew what they wanted in life and while dating seemed too early for both, establishing a friendship with her wasn't too forward. The only problem was a small miscommunication between the twins, neither knew that the other had feelings for her as well. George thought Fred was helping him get the girl and vice versa. It wasn't discovered until the beginning of November when both boys were sitting at breakfast. Fred was the one facing the Ravenclaw table today, watching Amber spread butter first and then peanut butter on her toast as she talked to the same blonde girl she sat next to on the first day, Melanie or something of the sort... Fred couldn't bring himself to care enough to remember.

"I think I'm going to introduce myself to Amber today. Show her the good ole Weasley charm." Fred, the more outgoing one of the two said in an overconfident voice. George furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, stuffing another sausage in his mouth as he tried to figure out why Fred would introduce himself first to the girl he himself had a crush on. It took him a few seconds but he finally caught on.

"Wait a minute, you like Amber?" George questioned, his face falling into an uncharacteristic frown.

"Of course, I thought that was clear? I mean isn't that why you have been finding out all this stuff about her for me?" Fred asked, not being quite as quick as his brother, although equally intelligent. It took a few more longer moments of silence and the downcast expression of George's face to finally allow him to come to the full understanding of the situation.

"You like her too." He muttered, his own charming smirk diminishing as the reality of the moment crashed down on him. George nodded in agreement, though it was unnecessarily done. They both knew what this meant, and both were devastated that it had to come to this.

The Weasley twins were fiercely loyal, almost to a fault. Family being one of the most important to defend and protect, although they themselves enjoyed pranking them. Their loyalty to each other however; was in a slightly different category. They promised nothing would ever get between them; grades, recognition, friends, family, and girls being some of the things listed. If they can't share whatever it was that they both wanted, then neither got it. And to 11 year old boys minds, there wasn't any other option but for neither to have her.

"So that's it then." Fred sighed. George nodded silently, taking one more look behind him before forcing himself to stare at his plate.

"Yea."

The rest of their first year was spent watching Amber from afar with looks of both curiosity and yearning. While both twins promised not to engage even a friendship with her, both still listened to anything that may have involved her, and reported it back to the other. Like in January when she received detention for fighting a Slytherin who was picking on her halfblood friend. The twins took one look at her black eye and the next day levitated bruise cream into her knapsack when she wasn't looking. Or on Valentine's day when she was looking longingly at all the other girls getting chocolates and teddy bears the twins transfigured two roses from the great hall into chocolate versions and charmed them to float in circles around her desk. The beautiful smile that lit her face had George dreaming of her the rest of the month and Fred staring at her during lunch longer than needed.

The month of June came around and when knowledge of her being top of her year in Ravenclaw was released it was corresponded between the two with such pride that they couldn't stop smiling for a week. And even though both of them wanted to talk to her, to get to know her better than half-listened conversation, neither would dare jeopardize their relationship with each other.

The beginning of second year held quidditch tryouts for second years and up. Both Fred and George were surprised to learn Amber was in the tryouts for the Ravenclaw team and even more surprised, and even a tad curious at this point, to see she had made it as a chaser.

Amber had her own thoughts on the subject. She had been debating trying out for the quidditch team for the whole of first year. She had loved playing with her father during the summer, admitted that she enjoyed the work out she received from it considering she had slimmed down over the summer and didn't even need to cut down in eating. Plus, trying out for quidditch forced her to become more social, a point Melanie insisted on when Amber was playing with the idea. The fact that Melanie had also made the team as a beater was even better for Amber, she at least had someone who she was confident in watching her back.

Both Fred and George had mixed feelings about Amber on an opposing quidditch team. The first was the fact that she was a chaser and a prime target for beaters such as them and the second thought that followed was how they could protect her as much as possible.

Fortunately for them, the first match against Ravenclaw proved to be one of the hardest matches they had and made them both realize they didn't have to worry about her getting hurt. Their curiosity of how she made it to be chaser was shown in her first match. She was fast and flexible, her reflexes were quicker than any chaser they have seen at Hogwarts yet. Why she wasn't a seeker baffled them. But what was even more impressive was not having to worry about taking it easier on her. An accidental hit here and there hardly affected her, and that was if they were lucky to hit her amongst her dodges and weaving let alone Melanie who seemed to always be deflecting any bludges heading Amber's way. The little thin blonde girl could hardly put enough force into a bludger to even form a bruise on George's arm but that didn't seem to be her main concern. Melanie's main focus seemed to be deflecting any bludgers that Amber could not dodge. Together they made an unbeatable team, earning them two victories that year.

By the end of second year Amber had started to turn from a chubby girl into thick athletic one, earning a few more glances from some of her male classmates, glances which Amber herself was oblivious to.

While Amber was a preteen and had a few crushes herself, she was more occupied with her studies, some which were not exactly school studies. Amber loved puzzles, any type that provided her with a challenge was deemed entertaining enough for her to spend all her extra time on. The puzzle she has been working on since first year? Identifying which twin was which. To other people around her they might have thought that she hardly took notice of the twins, but she had. Seeing identical twins who pranked others and confused even their family with their identities spiked Amber's interest. It was hard at first, especially when she finally realized that some days they would switch seats and act like they were the other. But, by the end of second year she was proud to say she finally figured the two out. George was the slightly quieter one, kinder and more considerate then Fred, and perhaps a tad more humble. Fred was more outgoing, had a slightly deeper voice, and was more mischievous than the two. These observations took her almost two years to distinguish and was so slight that she had to really study them to find them out. Once she did however... that's all she saw. While others saw the two as a duo, never separate, never saw them even as individuals, Amber did. When the teacher pointed to Fred and called him George she noticed, when they switched seats in Transfiguration because George was just a tad better at it then Fred, she noticed. She even could tell the two apart when they were flying, which was a feat she was extremely proud of.

So with this knowledge, it was only plausible that their first actual meeting should happen soon. In fact, it happened in third year right after winter break.
