That Saturday I wandered sleepily to the great hall. Shockingly, Alicia greeted me with a huge smile.

"Hey guess who I am going to the dance with?" Alicia was really excited. I wanted to say "George?!" with my usual attitude that I had towards her, but didn't. Instead I forced a polite smile.

"Who?" I asked through gritted teeth, still giving her my fake smile.

"Fred!" Alicia blurted out. My mouth fell open, and burning jealousy fell through me, but I ignored it, trying not to care. Question was, why did Fred ask Alicia? Was he trying to make me mad?

"That's really great. I'm happy that you're so happy." I forced myself not to sound too annoyed, as I spread marmalade, grumpily, on my toast. I didn't know why I was so upset, but trying to ignore it was a hopeless task.

"Hey there hun." George said, sitting next to me.

"Hey George." I smiled fakely, and shoved the piece of toast in my mouth, ignoring the confused look from Alicia. She probably thought I was crazy by the way I was acting, but oh well. Fred sat on George's other side, and I forced myself to swallow the toast.

"Well I'm done with breakfast." I said, right as Fred was going to talk to me. "See you all later." And without another word, I stomped out of the great hall, heading to the Gryffindor tower. I shouted "Caput Draconis!" At the fat lady, and she swung open, and I went through the hole in the wall. No one was in the common room, most of the students were enjoying the weekend. I didn't really intend to. Just as I was about to sit down by the fire someone walked in. I forced a smile, and turned, but my smile fell when I saw Fred.

"Done with breakfast already?" I asked politely. "Didn't want to stay with your new girl? What was her name? Oh yeah, Alicia." My voice fell annoyed when I spoke her name.

"Why are you so up- Wait! You're jealous, aren't you?" Fred grinned, and I could feel my cheeks getting warmer.

"Why would I be jealous? I don't like you like that, and I know you certainly don't like me. Of course I'm not jealous." I let a fake laugh escape my mouth, then I stomped passed him, walked out of the common room, and didn't look back, because I could hear him behind me. "Going to follow me, are you?" I said loud enough for him to hear me.

"I want to know what you're problem is." Fred said, still following me as I headed down the stairs. I scowled at the sound of his footsteps right behind me as I pushed the oak front doors open roughly. "Talk to me, Eteria!" And I couldn't take it anymore. I stopped, turning just in time to see Fred almost run into me.

"You really want to know what my problem is? You and George just seem to love Alicia. I mean George is almost always with her, and now you're going to a dance with her. Not a real delight you know. It gets to me." When I stopped, Fred stared at me shocked.

"I wanted to ask you!"

"Well of course, because she is- Say what?" I stared at Fred for a moment , just now getting what Fred had said.

"I did, but George got to it. I actually thought George was going to ask Alicia. But I guess he wouldn't be that stupid. I mean after all, he is my twin." Fred ran his fingers through his hair, acting cool, and I began laughing. When I looked at Fred he was smiling. "That's the Eteria I like. The happy one. Not the mad, upset, or crying one." My cheeks, I knew, were now red.

"But why? I mean, I'm not always going to be happy." I sighed, glancing off towards the black lake, as a icey breeze fell over me. Shivering, I turned back to Fred.

"I know, but I will do anything in my power to see that smile stay just like a friend should do." Before I could ask what he meant, he winked, and ran back up the grounds, leaving me there completely confused.
