A/N: Here's the last chapter! I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed the first chapter. And I copied some excerpts from OotP, thought you should know.
The Effect: Nightmare and Desire
Some time had passed since the night Angelina rolled the dice. She had almost forgotten about it, thinking the dice was a joke.
One afternoon, she was walking along with the rest of the Gryffindor seventh-years towards Transfiguration. Earlier that day Fred was excitedly telling her that there was a new prank to be played on Umbridge that afternoon.
"Fred, you'll surely get caught this time!" she remembered telling him. "Why do you have to do this?"
"Because she's a right old hag and she deserves it," the redhead replied simply. "And besides, why do you worry so much?"
She fought the urge to blush. "Frankly, I'm worried about you, Fred."
He smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
A faraway explosion broke her thoughts. Everyone stopped and looked towards the east wing. Several people came rushing by them on the way to the entrance hall.
"—seems interesting—"
"Did you see the east wing?"
"—full of Stinksap, mind you—"
But only one statement made Angelina run along with them towards the entrance hall.
"—it seems like Umbridge's caught them…"
On any ordinary day anyone would wonder how it was that the entrance hall would be so packed in such a short span of time. Angelina pushed and jostled many other people before she found herself in front, staring right at Fred and George Weasley.
She shrugged and rolled her eyes. 'Sheesh, it doesn't work, Angelina!' She rolled the dice. After all, who ever heard of real wish-granting stuff anyway?
Two glowing fives met her eyes. She consulted the scroll. Your worst nightmare shall haunt you very soon.
Her worst nightmare…
Was the dice for real?
"So!" she looked up and saw the hated professor on the steps. "So… you think it amusing to turn a school corridor into a swamp, do you?"
"Pretty amusing, yeah," said Fred.
Then came the caretaker's voice. "I've got the form and I've got the whips waiting…. Oh, let me do it now…."
Angelina just stood there, not taking in a word of what anyone was saying. Fred, oh Fred… I told you not to do it!
After all, who ever heard of real wish-granting stuff anyway? How stupid could she get?
"Accio Brooms!"
There was a loud crash in the distance and the confiscated brooms hurtled toward their owners.
"We won't be seeing you," Fred said.
"Yeah, don't bother to keep in touch," said George, mounting his broomstick.
Fred didn't mount his broom but instead scanned the watchful crowd and spotted Angelina. He walked towards her.
Time seemed to stop as the whole school looked upon them.
"Angie…" he whispered. "I'm sorry that I had to pick this moment to tell you this."
Without warning, he cupped her chin and kissed her. Angelina was stunned. Fred pulled back and Angelina had to admit that she was sad and disappointed.
"I love you," he said quietly.
She swallowed. "I… I love you too."
He gave her a small smile. "I'm sorry." He looked around at his schoolmates, mounting his broom. "If anyone fancies buying a portable swamp, as demonstrated upstairs, come to number ninety-three, Diagon Alley—Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes, our new premises!"
"Special discounts to Hogwarts students who swear they're going to use our products to get rid of this old bat," added his twin.
"STOP THEM!" shrieked Umbridge, but the twins kicked off from the floor and zoomed fifteen feet into the air. Fred looked across the hall at Peeves bobbing on his level.
"Give her hell from us, Peeves."
Peeves swept his hat from his head and sprang into a salute as Fred and George soared out to applause from the students below into the glorious sunset.
It took a while for Angelina to realize she was crying. He was gone… the one she had always loved.
Then she remembered the second combination the dice had given her.
This time a glowing one and another five appeared. Speak no more; your heart will say the truth.
And she smiled. She knew that they would see each other again. And most of all, as she watched Umbridge fume before ordering everyone back to their Houses, she learned that wishing dice did exist.
