Ok, chapter two is up. I hope you like it!
An 11-year-old Fred Weasley stepped off the small boat with his twin, George, and looked up at the enormous school that was to be his home for the next nine months. Fred glanced around and watched all the other kids who were just reaching the shore of the lake.
His gaze stopped on a girl whose boat was just reaching the shore. She had what appeared to be a small rubber insect in her hand, and she was unsuccessfully trying to place in her friends hair without being noticed. Fred grinned, remembering all the times he had done similar things to his little sister, Ginny.
The girl looked up all of a sudden, and saw Fred watching her. She blushed slightly, and dropped the hand with the bug in it. When she got off the boat, Fred walked over and introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Fred Weasley, who are you?"
"I'm Angelina Johnson," she said a little nervously. "I guess you saw me in the boat...you must think I'm pretty silly."
"What? No, the reason I was watching you was because I thought it was cool that a girl was playing a prank for once. There's only one girl at my house, and she's the youngest, so she really doesn't do much in the ways of pranks. My brother George and I, on the other hand..." Fred grinned deviously.
Angelina smiled, but appeared to be at a loss of words. "Well, uh...thanks, I guess..."
By then, all the first years had made it to the shore, and Hagrid was starting to lead the group into the castle. Fred looked towards the now open castle doors, and saw parts of several long tables. He could hear the voices of several hundred students talking, joking, and laughing.
"Well, I should probably go, my friend Alicia's waiting for me. But maybe I'll see you later?..." said Angelina.
"Sure," said Fred. "Maybe we can even go pull pranks on people together sometime."
"Maybe..." said Angelina, smiling, as she walked away.
Fred watched her for another moment before walking back over to George, who asked, "Who was that?"
"Oh, I don't know, no one really, I guess," replied Fred.
George shrugged and continued walking towards Hogwarts. But Fred glanced over at Angelina one more time, and smiled to himself. He and Angelina were going to be good friends, he could tell...
Well? Please review! I didn't like it that much and I'm sorry it's so short, but oh well. I'll try to get working on another chapter soon, and I promise it'll be longer. Does anyone have any ideas for the next chapter? I want it to be somewhere in between when they meet and their first date.
