Chapter I

Six years later

Annie's POV

The sky crept into morning and the sky was lightening from shady grey to a light blue as the sun rose. I stood near the window, leaning back on the window sill as I looked down at the view of the winter grounds, where the students play or hang-out and chat, with sad chocolate eyes.

Down below me, there is an auburn haired teenager who is surrounded by a group of teenage girls. A pang of jealousy shoots through me as he laughs and flirts with them with that grin of his, the grin that makes me feel so jealous in the first place.

"If only he would notice me as more than a friend. He looks at other girls all time and finds them attractive. I want more than friendship with him... If only he would notice me or realise it at all." I thought sadly, twisting a piece of my hair in my fingers as I stare down longingly at him.

A few minutes later, I hear a noise from the outside of my dorm room, the noise pulling me out of my thoughts and away from the window. I lean back on the wall and close my eyes, losing myself in my own daydream for a moment longer.

Suddenly, the door slams open and I open my eyes immediately, the action finally pulling me completely away from thoughts of that auburn haired boy, and I lean away from the wall and turn around to meet the blonde haired teenage girl in front of me, many questions in my chocolate eyes.

The clock on the wall above on our heads keeps ticking as we stand there like idiots, locking eyes while the silence creeps over us. No one decided to break the silence at the moment.

I had enough of waiting for her to say something, so I break the silence, opening my mouth to say something to her, but no sound comes out of my mouth, much to my annoyance. I clear my throat awkwardly before talking to her.

"Look, Macee. What do you want from me?" I demand.

A second later, Macee flips her long blonde hair and walks swiftly toward me before slapping my cheek so hard that I nearly fall over. I glare at her, a confused but angry expression on my face.

"What the hell was that for?!" I scream in cold voice as I touch my tender cheek where she slapped me.

"You deserve it! How dare you speak with my boyfriend, I told you that you should stay away from him! He will never like you at all, Annie." Macee Winter said bitterly, malice in her eyes.

I run my fingers through my hair and sigh wearily at Macee's non-stop theatrics. I shake my head in amazement, but still smile to myself.

"Geez, you're just jealous of me 'cause I've been such good friends with Kyle since before he even decided to start dating you! Stop listening to rumours and open your eyes for once to see the truth! And you should stay away from Kyle yourself, you're just using him to make your actual crush jealous! Though it's too bad.. Your crush would never like you at all, Macee." I said honestly, sick to death of her.

"Why you little..." Macee said angrily as she clenched her fists tightly, anger practically steaming off her blonde head.

"Look, I've never shown any romantic interest in Kyle and I've always thought of him as my brother! Why can't you see that?" I ask in wonder, I mean, it's pretty easy to see Kyle and I would never ever date.

"No way. I will never treat you nicely, never. You're just trying to get between us and have Kyle to yourself. He's mine. And he'll be my future husband one day, too. Oh please," she hissed, seeing my unconvinced look. "Look at you! You think you're better than me? Too bad. And your Weasley boy will never return your feelings either! I'm sure he'd always pick Katie or Angelina over you."

I bit my lip to try and stop the tears threatening to break through. She took a step closer, her eyes narrowing in hate. "You're nothing at all! And your 'admirers' and those boys who 'like' you prefer to bed you than have a relationship, Annie." Macee said, satisfied.

Tears run down on my cheeks like shining crystals and I feel so angry with her, the fact that she can get away with saying that to me, and I clench my fists so tightly, wanting to punch her face in. How could she? How dare she bring Fred into this conversation. Geez... I thought angrily.

"Well... You got nothing to say to me?" Macee said happily, taking glee in the fact she had power over me.

"You b****! I hate you for this! You will get my revenge, you idiot!" I scream at her in an angry voice.

She looks at me with frightened sapphire eyes, not expecting me to fight back, as I throw myself on her, bringing us down on the floor and we pull each other's hair and get into a violent fight.

Minuted later, what seems like every student in the school rushes into my dorm room and they look at us with shocked expressions on their faces but still watch out fighting with interest in their eyes.

"Stop it please! You are going to hurt each other! Stop it!" A brown haired fourth year shouts in a panicked voice. We ignore her and we keep fighting each other crazily, each determined to hurt the other.

Finally, a few teachers are pushed into the dorm room by some scared first year girls and they look at us with disappointment in their eyes. Two teachers are busy trying to shoo the students away from the room, while the other sternly watches us fight, mouth open, about to protest. Her voice rings through the dorm. "Stop it immediately!" said a cold voice. We turn around to look up at the brunette haired, stern older Professor with her hair pulled back into a sleek bun.

"Come with me immediately, Miss Santos and Miss Winter." Professor McGonagall said in stern voice, we nod, and he swiftly turns around expecting us to follow.

We start to follow her out of my dorm room toward his office, with grim expressions on our faces.

In the office, we are sitting down on the chairs while Professor McGonagall sits on her chair behind the desk, her elbows on the table, her cold eyes glaring at us with an expression that gives me nervous butterflies in my stomach.

"So, what is this fight about ladies?" Professor McGonagall asks. Silence fills the room, Macee not even daring to answer her question. I sigh inwardly and answer instead.

"Well madam... You see... Um... It's about Kyle and Fred, sir." I say without looking up to meet his eyes.

She sighs wearily and shakes her head in amazement.

"Miss Winter, you have a lovely boyfriend and you have wonderful, smart friends. And you have great family too. I do not understand why you keep picking on Miss Santos over Kyle when she is merely childhood friends with him and apparently has never shown any love interest in him at all! This is the third time you girls have been brought it here over bickering about the same issue in class, so I know your whole story, but I never thought I'd see you physically fight! Whatever your problem is with Miss Santos, you need to settle it and make sure it's over right now." Professor McGonagall said staring at the two girls calmly.

"But Annie and Kyle are such good friends.." Macee said worry.

"You just have to deal with it, okay? Miss Santos is not the type of girl who would steal a boy off you, Miss Winter." Professor McGonagall said in annoyed voice.

"But - " Macee said protest.

"No buts. And you know very well that Miss Santos has had a love interest in that Gryffindor boy for a while, so I suggest that you stop being jealous of her otherwise you could lose something very dear to you. Think about it." Professor McGonagall shrugged.

Macee fixed me with a cold glare, then turned around to look at him while I blushed with embarrassment because it seems like everyone knows about my crush on Fred.

"So Professor, are we going to lose points for our house because of our fight?" Macee asks curiously.

"No. This is your last warning, girls. Go and attend your classes. And try not to kill each other." Professor McGonagall said as he dismissed us from his office with her finger pointed towards the open door.

Macee stands up and stomps out of her office, while I stand up and follow her out of his office with a small, forced smile.

Finally, we walk into separate corridors and I'm off to my next class in hurry, but not before I overhear her talking to her boyfriend.

"There you are, babe! I've searched all over for you." the voice of her boyfriend said.

I quickly rushed behind a staircase when I heard his voice and looked through the gaps as I kneel down on the floor, listening to their conversation.

Deep down, I know that it's wrong to be eavesdropping on their conversation, but Kyle's my friend and I'm worried about him and I just want to make sure that he's okay.

Their voices interrupt my thoughts and I leant closer to the stairs, so that I could see the brown haired teenaged boy standing near my hiding place. I watch in mild disgust as he pulls the blonde Macee into a warm hug and they kiss so passionately that I feel as though I'm going to vomit at the sight of it.

"What's wrong? Why did you come out of Professor McGonagall's office, babe?" He asks in a concerned voice.

P

She sighs in frustration as she pulls herself away from him and she looks up at him with hurt, sapphire eyes.

"It's about Annie. Why can't you just stop being friends with her, Kyle?" Macee asks in cold voice. Kyle sighs in frustration, pulling completely away from her and waving his hands about as he gets angry.

"Seriously, this topic again?! How many times do I have to explain that nothing is going on between me and Annie?! And leave her alone too, I've heard about the way you talk to her when I'm not around. She's my friend and I think of her as my sister, that's all. Why are you so hateful towards her? And why can't you see that other girls that have liked me have sent me stuff and flirted with me, but you've never been jealous of them at all? You need to stop this, Macee." Kyle Wood said in an amazed voice.

"How dare you say that to me! I'm just worried that something will happen between you and Annie," Macee states worriedly.

"Ah I see! I think that you've chosen to believe the rumours than to believe the truth that's been right in front of you this whole time. Is that why you chose to use me to make your crush jealous? It's obvious Macee," he said seeing her incredulous look. "Do you like him more than me or what?" Kyle asked bitterly.

She looks at him with a stunned expression on her face as tears start to run down her cheeks like crystals. Then, before Kyle can say anything, she turns around to run upstairs toward her dorm room.

"Macee! Wait!" Kyle calls out to her in a pleading voice.

She ignores him as she rushes through the door into her common room while he stands there, dumbfounded, and looks up at the common room where she just disappeared into. A few metres away from him, I get up from under the stairs. I walk toward him before tapping him gently on the shoulder and he turns around to look at me with a lot of questions in his eyes.

"Look, Kyle. I didn't mean to be nosy or to be eavesdropping on your conservation with your girlfriend, but I think you should dump her before you get hurt... She could be cheating on you behind your back at any second and I just don't want to see you get hurt..." I told him quietly, hoping he wouldn't be too upset with my intrusion.

He shakes his head and wraps his arm around my shoulder as we begin to walk to our next class together, a friendly expression on his face.

"To tell you the truth... I'd rather let her dump me instead, because I don't want to hurt her feelings... and she's pretty hot." Kyle said with a big grin on his face.

I shake my head in amazement and I punch his arm playfully as I slip away from him and his arm, looking at him with raised eyebrows.

"Oh my god, why do you find her so hot?! She's a total b*tch!" I asks in wonder.

He chuckles and wriggles his eyebrows mischievously. "Well... 'cause she's so hot in bed as well."

"Oh my god! You slept with her too?! Ews!" I shout to him in shocked voice, wriggling my whole body as if the idea repulsed every inch of me.

The students that are walking by stop and stare at us with interest, while I just stand there and blush with embarrassment, covering my face with my hands. I didn't realise my voice was so loud...

Kyle turns around to face them and stares them down with cold, glaring eyes that send them off running at a million miles an hour.

"They're gone and they wouldn't dare to spread it around." He grinned at his power over the younger years. "And Annie, I'm a guy and it's normal in a relationship..." Kyle is leans down to whisper in a gentle voice.

I shake my head in amusement and wave him farewell before I head off to my next class in a hurry, Kyle smiling to himself at the same time.

In the class, I'm sitting on a chair behind the table where the Slytherin students sit, sucking up to our Potions Master, and I listen to him explain the potion in the big black pot.

"Alright then. Read the recipes correctly, students. I do not want to see one of my students in the Hospital Wing because of a wrong receiple. Is that clear?" Processor Snape said in stern voice as he looks at the two auburn haired teenage brothers with a stern warning in his eyes.

The boys shrug their shoulders and they smiled cheekily at Snape, a smile that makes him groan with frustration. I try to cover my mouth to stop me from laughing out loud and also to cover my blushing up.

Seconds later, I didn't see that the one of the boys has started to walk around the table to squeeze between me and my best friend Cho Chang, who sends him an annoyed look. He leans closer to me and pulls my hands away from my mouth, holding them gently.

"It's good medicine to laugh out, Annie" Fred said in low voice, next to my ear.

His voice jumbled up my thoughts and I pull my hands away from him and quickly take a very nervous step backwards, which also causes me to knock a potion off the table behind me.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" I said to the girl behind me, now covered in Beetle Juice. She screwed up her face at me, even after I tried to smile apologetically at her, and she ran from the room. Snape walks toward my table and he looks at Fred with anger in his eyes.

"Mr. Weasley, Stop flirting with girls in your class time. Save your fun for your breaks. Apolgise to Miss Santos immediately for distracting her, and apologise to Miss Hubbs after class. And go and sit with Katie's group right now." Professor Snape told him.

Fred sighs wearily and walks towards me, kneeling down on the ground as he holds my hands in his and looks up at me with puppy dog, amber eyes.

I smile to myself as I look into his eyes with hope while my heart pounds with excitement.

"Annie, I am sorry, I promise it won't happen again. I won't bother you again and I hope that we be friends again. See you around." Fred said softly.

"I - I" I said puzzled. Did that mean he wasn't going to flirt with me again?!

He shakes his head and stands up to clean the dust off his robes, before turning around toward Katie's table and sitting down.

My tears are going to burst out at any moment... I barely hold them in as I rush out of the classroom toward the girl's bathroom. I sit on the chair and cry over Fred, holding my body tightly, as my heart is break into pieces.

"How could I be so stupid? Why did I fall in love with him in first place? I'm such an idiot..." I thought sadly.

The knocking on the door snaps be back to reality, and I stare at the door with bloodshot eyes as it opens. I stand up to wipe my tears away from my eyes and see Cho standing there with concern in her eyes.

"Annie! Are you ok? Are you sure that you want to come back to class?" Cho asks in concerned voice, understanding that I probably don't want to face Fred. I nod, however, and walk past her toward the exit of the girl's bathroom. We walk back to class together in silence and as we enter the classroom, it was so quiet; I swear you could've heard a pin drop. I sit on the chair again and try to focus on my Potions lesson.

The room returns to the usual low chatter and I stare at my pot, not joining in with any of the conversation around me, or meeting eyes with anyone. Especially not Fred. I finish making the potion in my pot and I put my hand up in the air while the group of students on my table stare at me with confused expressions. I am never the first to finish in Potions.

"What is it, Miss Santos?" Professor Snape asks in annoyed voice.

"I just finished making the potion, sir and I was wondering if I could leave the class a bit earlier please? I'm not feeling well at the moment, sir." I said honestly, my stomach churning.

Snape walks over to me and awkwardly places his hand on my forehead, quickly pulling him away. His brow creases as he looks at me with concern.

"Alright then, I suggest you go see Madam Pomfrey, Miss Santos. You have a very unusually high temperature." Professor Snape said softly.

I stand up though I feel very dizzy, so go to grab hold of the table next to me, but my hand slips in something and I fail to hold myself steady, my head banging with a headache that wasn't there a second ago.

I lose my balance and fall sideways, slipping into unconsciousness before my body hits the floor, the blackness seeping in right before my head connects with the ground. But before I completely fade out, I hear noise erupt in the classroom, one voice in particular, which is Fred yelling my name.
