Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long! A whole week since my last update when the others were so quick! Crazy! I'm sorry, but school is school, and activities are activities and they are what make our life great… except for when it gets in the way of writing. But I promised you all I would update at least once a week, and I wanted to do that but... my account wouldn't let me upload anything. A friend of mine, cough MarianaO. cough, even tried uploading on her computer. It still didn't work. I checked about five minutes ago to see if it was still not working, but it was! So please, enjoy!

(What girls are when you forget about your one-year anniversary)

Angelina wrapped her head once more with her scarf before tying it. She pulled her braids out from the bundle, placed a hat upon her head, and then made her way out into the Hogwarts grounds. It was another windy October day and another Hogsmeade trip had come in with walked down the path, peering through her wrappings, and spotted the flaming red hair not too far ahead of her. She sped up, wrapping her arms around herself as she went, trying to stay warm. When she was a few meters away, she started to run, as to get momentum. She bounced onto Fred's back, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Hey!" Fred laughed as he swung Angelina around as to give her a proper hug and kiss. They stood there for a few seconds, forgetting they were even cold, and broke apart to the snorts of their friends around them. "And how are you, my dear?" Fred asked, causing a cloud of condensation to go float above his girlfriend and himself.

"Cold," She replied simply, to which Fred retorted with a kiss.

"Aww, how adorable," Lee laughed, separating the couple and started to drag them towards Honeyduke's. "But I'm sorry we don't all have a date to kiss when we're cold… unless Katie wants to tell me something…" Lee gave a seductive look to Katie, which included licking his lips, who responded with,

"In your dreams, Lee,"

"In yours, Bell,"

"More like nightmares,"

"You can't deny my sexiness,"

"Oh, whoops, looks like I can,"

"Looks like, yes, but on the inside? You're waiting for me to come save you, your knight in shining armor,"

"More like puny knight tin-foil,"

"Hey! That's aluminum foil to you, miss!"

The others rolled their eyes, used to the usual bickering. Once they all were in the warm blanket of smells, they spread out, searching for something sweet, sour, bitter, tasty, and all the other flavors candy is.

"Pick out anything and I'll get it for you," Angelina whispered into Fred's ear, which was a feat in itself from the loudness of the shop.

"Really?" Fred was caught off guard. "Gee, thanks, Ang! But… why?"

She stared at him. "You do know why, don't you?"

Fred shifted on his feet, getting slightly nervous at the incredulous look on his girlfriend's face. "No…"

"Fred! It's October 22nd!"

"So?" Fred whispered, as if saying it softly would make it better.

"SO?!?!" Angelina screamed. "FRED WEASLEY! IT IS OUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY! WE HAVE BEEN DATING FOR A YEAR! AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS, 'SO?'?????"

Fred swore under breath, but quickly grinned. "Ha! Gotcha! You really thought I forgot didn't you?" He laughed nervously.

"YOU DID FORGET, YOU ARSE, SO DON'T PULL A FAST ONE WITH ME! I KNOW YOU TOO WELL FOR THAT!" Angelina punched Fred in the shoulder a few times before walking out.

"Hey, Ang! ANG! WAIT!" Fred ran after her as she started down the road, but she was already half way to Hogwarts, those long legs of hers. He slowed to a walk huffing and puffing, rubbing his temples, trying to impede the day's date into his brain so this would never, ever happen again.

Stupid girls and their crabbiness when they forget guys don't give Hippogriffs about this kind of stuff. It only matters by the fact it matters to them.

So, in other words, Fred learned every single date that was important in their relationship as to make up to this major blow. And Merlin did his brain ache. But she, above all things, was worth it.

He loved her, after all.
