George and Katie arrived in the Gryffindor common room to find Fred and
Angelina shouting at each other. The Yule Ball had just ended.
"What are you talking about?" Fred bellowed.
"You know exactly what I mean!" Angelina roared back.
"Obviously I don't or I wouldn't' be asking!" Katie and George looked at each other with very confused looks on their faces.
"I can't believe you Fred!" With that Angelina took off to the girls' dorm. Fred left to the boys'.
"What was that about?" George asked.
"I don't know, but I should go talk to Angelina," Katie said.
"I should talk to Fred too."
"I know."
"We'll talk later. I'm sorry." George leaned down and kissed Katie. "Bye." George left the way his twin did. Katie followed her best friend's footsteps to their dormitory. She entered it and saw her fellow Chaser sitting on her bed, trying very hard not to cry.
"Angelina? What happened?" Katie asked. She sat down next to her friend.
"Fred was being stupid again."
"What do you mean?"
"He kept flirting and dancing with other girls all night. I mean I thought he'd at least pay attention to me. You're lucky George is so sweet. I mean the way he asked you to the Ball and the way he practically looked only at you the entire night."
"Fred is sweet too, in his own way."
"But he can be so stupid."
"So can all guys. Look Fred probably wasn't flirting. The girls might have been, but he wasn't. Trust me."
"You might be right." Angelina sighed. "Maybe I should talk to him."
"I think that's a good idea." Angelina got up and left. After a couple of minutes Katie headed down to the place of the fight. She saw George on the couch and grinned. She walked over to him and sat down next to him. She laid her head on his shoulder and he kissed the top of it.
"How did it go?" she asked him.
"They're talking right now." Katie nodded. "Why was Angelina mad?"
"She thought Fred ignored her all night and just flirted with other girls."
"He loves her, you know?"
"Really? That's so sweet. He has to tell her."
"It's hard for guys to get the courage to say that to a girl."
"I'll remember that the next time a guy tells me that."
"Who's going to tell you that?" George asked suspiciously.
"I don't know."
"Well, when he does, tell him to se me. I'll teach him who he says that to. Not my girlfriend." Katie smiled.
"Really?"
"Really." Katie blushed and grinned.
"If any girl, besides me, tells you that they love you. Let me know and I'll tell them to stay away from my boyfriend." George grinned.
"Protective are we?" he asked.
"Of course. I'm dating the coolest guy in school. I have to be protective."
"Then I have to be protective of you. I mean, you being the prettiest, coolest girl in school." Katie moved her head down, no longer able to look at George anymore. However he caught her lips with his and they kissed. George felt Katie grin against his mouth and grinned himself. Katie giggled.
"What?" George asked.
"Nothing," Katie said. She was about to kiss him again when Alicia burst into the common room. Katie turned to her.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Angelina. Come on, the Quidditch pitch."
"I'll be right there." Alicia nodded and left. Katie turned to George. "I'm really sorry. Friend duty calls."
"That's okay." George kissed her. Katie didn't want to go but she had to. She groaned.
"I have to go." Katie left the common room before George could kiss her again. She ran down to the Quidditch pitch. She met Alicia with a horrified look on her face. Angelina was lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Is she stunned?" Katie asked.
"No, she's unconscious. She decided to practice a bit after she and Fred fought again. I'm guessing she fell off her broom." Katie stared at Angelina's still body, her hand covering her open mouth.
"Oh my God, no, no, this couldn't have happened. Angelina fall? No! Did you get Madam Pomfrey? Does Fred know?" Katie was hysterical.
"Yeah, I sent Lee to get Madam Pomfrey. Luckily he was with me. I didn't even think to tell Fred."
"Someone has to tell him." Katie was shivering but she was sure it wasn't just from the cold. Katie turned to look at the castle; Madam Pomfrey and Lee were rushing out of the entrance hall. "I'll go tell him." Katie ran past them and entered the castle clumsily. She looked everywhere for Fred. She couldn't find him anywhere. Dejectedly she returned to the common room to, at least, find George. She said the password ("Butterbeer") to the Fat Lady and walked into the Gryffindor common room. There she found her boyfriend and his twin. They rushed over to her when they saw tears coming out of her eyes.
"It's Angelina. She went to play Quidditch after you two fought again. She must've fell off her broom. Madam Pomfrey attended to her. She should be at the hospital wing by now. How could this happen?" She brought her hand up to her mouth. Fred was long gone. He had bolted to the hospital wing. "George -" but that's all that came of her question. She started sobbing. George did all he could think of doing, he held her. Her sobs racked their bodies. She sobbed steadily for five minutes. She only stopped when she ran out of tears. Finally she spoke.
"You should've seen her. Her body, just lying there, not moving. I thought she was dead."
"I'm sorry sweetie. I really am. Do you want to go to the hospital wing and see Angelina?" Katie nodded. George put a comforting and protecting arm around Katie's shoulders. He supported her, metaphorically and physically as they walked to see their friend. When they arrived, Lee, Alicia and Fred were already there. But they weren't in the hospital.
"What's wrong? Why aren't we allowed in?" Katie asked. She watched as Lee held Alicia, Fred was pacing and it looked as if he'd been crying. George was equally as confused as Katie. Alicia went over to Katie and hugged her. Alicia started crying; Katie immediately knew, or thought she knew what happened. She started sobbing too. Katie looked up and saw Fred. Why was she crying if he was the one hurt so badly? Why wasn't he breaking down? Someone needed to comfort him. She let go of Alicia as Lee took her. Katie went over to him. He just looked at her, and then Katie pulled him into a hug. That moment he started to weep unrestrainedly into her shoulder.
Madam Pomfrey opened the door to the hospital and let them in a couple of minutes later. They went over to Angelina's bed. Fred sat next to her bed and took her hand in his. Lee stood behind Alicia, his hands on her shoulders. Katie clung to George, who was equally clinging to her.
"Maybe we should leave the two of them alone. I think he has something to tell her," Katie said. George, Lee and Alicia nodded. Katie and George headed out of the hospital wing, no longer paying attention to Lee and Alicia, lost in their own thoughts. They eventually made it to the Gryffindor tower and common room. Alicia and Lee went upstairs to the 7th year girls' dorm. Lee was only going to keep her company. George led Katie to the 7th year boys' dorm. Fred was to sleep in the hospital, by Angelina's side until she woke up. And he would never move from there.
