Chapter II

Fred's POV

I'm sitting on a chair, and I am looking at a certain dark- haired teenager girl with wonder in my eyes while I'm not paying attention to my teacher- which means I've completely lost in my interest in the lesson at the moment.

Suddenly, the dark haired teenage girl, Annie, is raising her hand in the air, which causes my stomach to flip with sickness and worry. I'm still looking at her with wonder in my eyes, and I didn't notice that one of my classmates was looking closer at me with thoughtful eyes; her glancing didn't bother me at all.

"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 early please? I'm not feeling well at the moment, sir" Annie replies honestly.

Professor Snape walks over to her and awkwardly places his hand on her forehead, quickly pulling the hand away as he frowns. His brow creases as he looks at her with concern.

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

Annie stands up, and I notice that as she tries to grab that table that her face is covered with a grim expression. I stand up very quickly, then I rush to her side in hurry with concerned expression on my face.

"Annie!" I am calling out to her in a worried voice. Finally, I grab her before she trips herself over the stool that might lead her to injure herself. I am holding her closer and closer to my chest as my heart is pounding with fear.

"Fred, take her to Madam Pomfrey immediately!" Professor Snape snaps in a stern voice.

I nod to him and I bend down to pick her up, then I put her into my arms gently while I am walking toward the exit of the room in a hurry.

A few minutes later, I am walking towards the hospital wing and the grey-haired, middle aged Madam Pomfrey is rushing out of her office toward me with concerned expression on her face. I am walking toward the hospital bed, then I am putting Annie on the hospital bed gently.

"What happened to Annie?" Madam Pomfrey asks in a concerned voice.

"I don't know. She just fainted before she was told to come here to discuss things with you because she says she is unwell at the moment, Madam," I explain.

She is nodding at me and putting her hand on my shoulder gently, looking at my eyes with empathy in her own.

"It will be okay, Fred. Why don't you come back later tonight to see her? She will stay here overnight to make sure that she will be OK. Now go to back to your class immediately," Madam Pomfrey finishes.

I let out a weary sigh and step away from Madam Pomfrey, then I am shaking my head in a confused way while I'm rushing out of the hospital wing. I'm so fast that I am almost bump into few students, which makes them send me a cold glare. I don't care about them at all. I just want to get out of here before I change my mind about it. Damn it! Why did I suddenly show concern about Annie? Ugh!

A few seconds later, I'm rushing back into Potions, and I'm sitting down in my chair again while ignoring cold glares from Annie's best friend. It didn't bother me at all; I'm trying to focus on the lesson to keep me busy so I won't think about Annie for awhile.

After that, I completely finish my potion lesson before Professor Snape announces that class is finished now, and I'm standing up while I grab my school bag. I rush out of the classroom toward my next classroom in hurry, before any students will stop me and want to ask me about Annie's welfare. Later in the day, I'm keeping myself busy, and I flirt with other girls in the lessons while I'm listening to the teachers about subjects that keep my mind off from thinking about Annie all day.

Finally, the classes have been finished. I head toward Gryffindor right now, desperate to get there before anyone spots me and stops me for a moment to question me about Annie's welfare or anything that I do not want to discuss with anyone. Before I reach the Gryffindor common room a familiar voice has stopped me, one I can't ignore. I turn around to see the Annie standing a few feet from me, putting her hands hands on her hips as she looks at me with cold glare.

"Look, Cho. I am not in the mood for a chat so please excuse me," I state in a careless voice.

"Not too fast, Fred! And you know why I'm here!" Cho replies in a rude tone.

I am shaking my head and rushing toward Gryffindor in hurry, before she rushes toward me then grabs my arm tightly while dragging me along with her to somewhere. She has angry expression on her face that leaves me feeling so sick with worry in my stomach. Suddenly, we're walking towards the hospital wing and I feel panic that creeps into my body. I try to pull myself away several times, but she won't let me go at all. I am a bit annoyed with her at the moment.

She finally lets me go when we're standing beside Annie's bed. Annie is sleeping like an angel while Cho is looking at me with thought in her eyes.

"Are you going to say something to her, Fred?" Cho asks in an impatient voice.

I shake my head in annoyance before I turn around to rush out of the hospital wing. I make it to Gryffindor, then I step into the Fat Lady portrait before I rush toward the fireplace. I'm standing there all day, looking into the fireplace with angry eyes.

Annie's POV

Fred is here? And why?

I am opening my eyes, then I turn my head to see that the auburn-haired teenager boy is walking out of the hospital wing. It left me feeling so shattered and heartbroken...

"Thanks goodness you're awake. I was so worried about you, Annie! Please don't scare me like that!" Cho says in a worried voice.

I sign wearily, then am turning my head away from the door. I then looks up at my best friend with an apologetic smile as I am holding the blanket so tightly.

"I am sorry, Cho. I'll try not to scare you like that again." I said apologetically.

Cho is smiles at me and pulls the chair closer to my bed, then sits down on the chair as she looks at me with concern in her eyes.

"Err… Who did bring me here a few hours ago?" I ask in wonder.

She's smiling at me. "It is Fred who brought you here few hours ago, and he won't admit it to himself or anyone at all. He also refuses to speak with you since the incident, so I have no idea what is wrong with him at the moment, Annie."

I am gasping with shock can't believe what I'm hearing from my best friend as I look at her with widening eyes while my heart is pounding with hopes. "Hmm… I will says thanks to him when I get released out from this wing soon. Thanks again, Cho." I said smiling.

She nods at me and she is keep me in company for awhile, talking about anything and everything as I am listening to her.

A few minutes later, Madam Pomfrey walks out of her office and she walks toward me with concern in her eyes; Cho and I are unaware of her presence at the moment.

"Hello, Annie. How are you feeling right now?" Madam Pomfrey asks in a concerned voice.

"I am okay, Madam. Can I go back to my room right now?" I ask in a hopeful voice.

She is looks at me with thoughtful eyes then she turns around to look at my best friend before Madam Pomfrey makes Cho leave the wing, her hand pointing to the door.

"But, madam…" Cho said protest.

"I want to talk with Annie in private so please go and do something. Thanks," Madam Pomfrey says in stern voice.

Cho nods at her and stands up, then she is walking out of the hospital wing to head off to somewhere else for awhile.

"How long have you not been eating, Annie?" Madam Pomfrey asks in disappointed voice after Cho finishes leaving.

I flinch at her voice and I am biting my lips in a nervous way, looking down at my hands as my tears are running down on my cheeks like crystal.

"Nearly two weeks, Madam. Please release me out immediately and I will be okay," I beg.

She lets out a frustrated sigh, then looks at me with worry in her eyes. "OK then. But you need to start eating, otherwise I will tell the headmaster about your welfare. You need to think about yourself, OK? And if you need help then you should talk with me about it- anything at all. Is that clear, Annie?" Madam Pomfrey asks in a stern voice.

I'm nodding at her, and I'm still looks down at my hands while I am try not to think about my painful memory that haunts me in my dreams.

"Good. Now go and enjoy your evening. And take care of yourself, Annie." Madam Pomfrey says with a nod.

A few minutes later, I'm finally released from the hospital wing and I'm walking, heading to Ravenclaw. I arrive at the bronze knocker in shape of the eagle door, and have no problem with the riddle- I've had no problems with those riddles since the day I came here few years ago.

"Enter!" The door speaks to me in impressed voice after I answer the riddle correctly.

I step into the portrait door and I enter the common room, walking toward my dorm when I feel someone put hand on my shoulder to stop me from going. I turn around to see my best friend with questions in her eyes, while I put my hand over on my heart from fright.

"Geez, Cho! You scared me out of my life. What is it?" I ask in an impatient voice.

She is smiles at me and links my arm in hers. Then we walk out of the common room as we head towards the Great Hall in hurry. "I hear there will be feast tonight and headmaster has announced that he wants to share the news with us. Come on, we don't want to be late for feast, Annie!" Cho explains.

I nod at her and I let her lead me into the Great Hall. To get to our table, we have to pass the Gryffindor table and I notice that Cho looks at a raven haired teenager boy with friendly smile, which leaves me wondering about it. Finally, we sit down on the chairs at the Ravenclaw table and I nudge her arm gently so she can turn her attention to me from someone she's talking with.

"What is going on between you and Harry?" I ask in wonder.

"Nothing. We're just friends, Annie." Cho says quietly.

"Hmm…I see!" I say in low voice.

She and I are laughing over it as we are turns our attentions when Professor Dumbledore walks toward the speaker, everyone waiting for him to talk.

"Hello, students. I'm sure of that all of you are looking forward to the Yule Ball, which is coming up soon. Make sure you get your date, the good ones will be take before you know it! I hope that you will enjoy the Yule Ball; it will be on Christmas Day. Now enjoy your feast!" Professor Dumbledore said with a smile.

Cho and I are so excited about it, we start chatting about it while we're eating at the same time, enjoying our food for awhile.

Fred's POV

A few hours later, I walk out of the Great Hall and am walking towards Gryffindor when I notice groups of boys are standing near the Gryffindor entrance, and it looks like they're talking about something which I am not interested in.

I try to just ignore them as I walk past them to the Gryffindor common room, but one of the boys has reached for me and grabbed my collar. It causes me to fall over, and I send a cold glare at them.

"I'm sorry about it; just want to talk with you about something, Fred," Kyle says apologetically.

I pulls myself up with a sigh as I look at the brunette-haired teenager boy questioningly, putting my arms across my chest in impatient way.

"Uh, I'm just wondering if you're going to ask Annie for your date for Yule Ball?" Kyle asks.

I look at him, and then I'm starting to laugh while I shake my head in an amazed way. "Come on, Kyle. She's not the type of the girls I want to date. I'm not planning to ask her to marry me or date her either, because I am not interest in her at all. Why did you think of that in first place, Kyle?" I ask in an amazed tone.

"Because I heard that you carried her to the hospital wing, so I thought that you might like her. And you should stop playing with her heart, Fred," Kyle said in annoy voice.

I shakes my head and just look at him with a raised eyebrow. "Oh please! There is nothing going on between me and Annie. Why not ask Annie go out with you? I'm sure that Macee will be more than happy to date me or who knows her because she is so good in bed, Kyle." I said honestly.

"You….." Kyle said in angry voice.

A few seconds later, two teenage boys are pulling Kyle away from me and they are dragging him away from me toward the Gryffindor in hurry with worry in their eyes.

Suddenly, I hear footsteps come toward me and I whirl around to see Annie with shock in my eyes. Oh geeez… Did she overhears the whole conservation between me and Kyle?

She looks at me with hurt in her chocolate eyes, and tears are slipping down on her cheeks like crystal which leaves me feeling so guilty about it.

"Is it true that you do not want date me at all?" she asks quietly.

I clear my throat for few times and my heart is pounding with hurt as I am rub through my hair "Yes that's correct, Annie." I say in a careless voice.

She shakes her head in a confused way, and she steps away from me before she turns around to rush off to somewhere else. I watch her with pain in my eyes then I am off, walking toward toward Gryffindor right now. A few minutes later, I am walks into the common room and I am head toward my room as I am changes my clothes into pyjamas then I am crawl into my bed as I falls sleep immediately.
