Chapter 1: The Last Straw

"I don't want to hear about it, George." she snapped, walking quickly down the hall, George right on her heels.

"Oh, come on Leesh! We were just fooling around!" George replied, trying to keep up with Alicia Spinnet's fast-pace. Suddenly, Alicia stopped. George barrelled into her, and they both fell to the floor.

"George, first of all, get the bloody hell off of me." Alicia said, her voice showing that she was desperately trying not to scream at him at the top of her lungs.

"Yeah, yeah, sorry." George mumbled as he got to his feet.

"Great, now, second of all," George grabbed Alicia's hand to help her up, but let go at the last minute. It was definately on purpose, and Alicia fell straight back to the floor. "GEORGE WEASLEY, IF I EVER TALK TO YOU AGAIN IT WILL BE TOO SOON!" she screamed. Then, she pulled herself up, grabbed her fallen books, and stormed away.

Everyone was staring at George now, and he felt the colour rise in his cheeks, nearly the colour of his ginger hair. George shrugged and walked hastily away.

"George, my dear twin, that wasn't very graceful." Fred said, coming up behind him.

"Really? I was thinking of becoming a ballerina. Well, there goes that dream." George sighed, sarcastically.

"Didn't I tell you to act cool when you apologized? And besides, I don't know why she got mad. All we did was try a few new things on her. It's not like she died or anything, it was only a week in the Hospital Wing. There's nothing Poppy can't fix." Fred shrugged, innocently.

"I dunno, Fred. But, she's really miffed at me." George sighed as the twins walked into their last class of the day, History of Magic. Alicia was sitting in the middle, like she usually did, with Angelina. In front of them were their friends, Kalypso and Kori. Angelina, Kalypso, and Kori were all listening to Alicia intently.

"I bet you she's talking about me." George whispered to Fred.

"And then, he had the nerve to help me up and then purposely let me fall flat on my arse!" Alicia exclaimed.

"Yeah, I think that's a safe bet, mate." Fred replied, patting his brother on the shoulder. George groaned and sat down.

"Lee still not feeling well?" George asked, changing the subject.

"George, you know he's using some prototype Skiving Snackboxes. He'll be ill until he feels like getting better." Fred retorted.

"Really? That's wierd, Katie's got the same thing as Lee." George said, thoughtfully.

"I always thought he fancied her. He probably offered some to her." Fred replied, yawning. "Look, mate, I'm gonna take a little nap. Wake me up by the end of class." Fred took out his wand, conjured up a soft and fluffy pillow, put his head down and was soon snoring.

Only moments later, Angelina had turned around and thrown a note at George, which hit him square in the forhead. He wasn't surprised that she had great aim, she was, after all, one of three chasers on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

George grabbed it, and opened it to see Angelina's neat scrawl.

You're crazy, aren't you?

Well, actually, now that you mention it...

George, I'm serious. You've really got Ali mad.

I told her I was sorry, she just wouldn't hear of it.

Well, then you made her fall on her arse? No matter who you are, or what has happened beforehand, it is NOT funny, George.

Really? I thought it was quite hilarious. Would you try and tell her I'm sorry and that it was all in good fun? You know, the usual stuff.

George, she's getting sick and tired of getting the usual from you and from me. I can't keep bailing you out like this.

Please, Angie! She won't listen to me. Leesh won't let me get one word out before she chews my head off.

Can you blame her? This was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.

What?

It means that she just won't take your shit anymore, George.

Oh.

I'll try, though, Georgie, I'll try.

I appreciate it, Ang.

You'd better appreciate it. Well, I'll talk to you later. Tell Fred I said 'hi' when he wakes up from the snorefest. I have a feeling Alicia won't let me near either of you until this is all worked out. You really need to stop angering her. It's such a stress-trip for me.

Alright, thanks again, Angel.

A/N: Very short first chapter. But, dedicated to darling Kit, because she loves George/Alicia stories so much. I hope you all like this. I'm sorry it's so short. I just wanted to get it up! It'll get better, though! I'm using characters from Angie and The Prat for this story, haha. Well, I must go. Hope you like! CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
