Fred got up from the chair, then turned around to face Maddie. "Just one more question"
She looked up, annoyance etched on her face.
"Where you considered for Slytherin?" he asked.
Annoyance dissapeared from her face and was replaced by a look of insult. "No." she said, a note of finality ringing in her voice. "Actually, I was considered for Gryffindor"
Fred looked bewildered, but instead of questioning her further left the library.

Fred walked into the common room. George, Harry, Ginny, and Hermione were still there. George called after him, but he didn't listen. "Oy!" George yelled, throwing a pillow from the couch at him. "I'm talking to you"
"What?" Fred asked finally, turning around to look at them.
"What'd you need to talk to Maddie for"
"I needed to ask her something about Charms." Fred replied casually. Hermione was looking at him with interest; he could tell she could see through his lie, George however didn't. When they raised no more replies, he went upstairs to the boys dormitory and closed the door behind him. He flopped down onto his bed and there was a knock on the door. He got up and answered it.
"What?" he said before looking to see who it was.
"You're lying." said Hermione.
Fred almost fell over at the shock of Hermione being there. He hadn't expected her. Fred didn't bother covering up his lie. "So"
"What did you really want from Maddie"
"I had a question." he said looking her in the eyes.
"About?" Hermione pestered.
"Nothing important"
Hermione walked closer to him, "Don't lie to me." It was taking all of Fred's self-control not to grab her and snog her senseless.
"I'm not." Fred could feel Hermione's breath on his mouth. Then, bang, Fred keeled over sideways clutching his nose.
"What was that for?!" he yelled.
"Stay away from her!" Ron shot back, pointing his wand at Fred.
Harry, Ginny, and George ran up the stairs to see what happened.
"RON!" Harry yelled, grabbing Ron and holding him back. Ginny walked over to Fred and looked at his nose. She tapped her wand to it and it mended, she tapped the blood on his face and it dissapeared.
"Thanks, " he muttered.
"Don't mention it." Ginny replied.
Fred shot a nasty look at Ron, and left the dormitory. Harry let go of Ron.
"What'd you stop me for?!" Ron yelled.
"He's your brother! He didn't do anything to you!" Harry yelled back.
"Yhea, apparently no one does. And even my friends don't tell me how to put my name in the Goblet of Fire!" "I didn't put my name in that cup! Just 'cause you're too thick to realize it"
"Thick am I?" Ron questioned, and seeing no reply shouted, "Stay away from my sister"
"Don't tell him what to do!" Ginny shouted at Ron. "Don't you get involved!" Harry yelled at her.
"He's my brother! He's not going to tell me who I can and cannot date!" she shot back, pulling her wand at Ron. "You won't do anything." Ron said to her.
"Won't-" but she was cut off as Ron's fist collided with her mouth.
"Hey!" Harry yelled, truly angry now. "Don't touch her!" He bent down over Ginny and Ron swept from the dormitories. Hermione feeling out of place followed him out. Fred wasn't in the common room. Neither was Ron. George was sitting in a chair by the fire. "What happened?" George asked as she sat down next to him.
"Ron broke Ginny's jaw"
George looked bewildered.
"Our Ginny? I figured she would have jinxed him first"
"Harry was in the way"
"Oh"
Harry came down the stairs supporting Ginny. Answering Hermione and Fred's unanswered question he said, "She broke her ankle when she fell. George come help me." "I can do it myself." said Ginny, but the minute she pushed away from Harry and put weight on her foot she started falling and grabbed onto George. Harry and George left the common room supporting Ginny, leaving Hermione to dwell on her thoughts.
