Chapter 10
Angie
"Angie" I looked down at Fred with teary eyes. He was standing in the courtyard we had shared our first kiss…he was down on one knee with a precious little black box in his hands. "Angie we've been through so much together" he said smiling up at me. The sky was cloudless the sun was shinning down on us…everything looked so beautiful and bright. "It would make me happier then anything if you would…marry me" I giggled a little…I was completely speechless.
"Oh Fred!" I said breathlessly. "Of course I will!" Fred chuckled a little tears appearing in his eyes. He opened the box to reveal a beautiful silver ring with a deep sea blue emerald perched on it. Fred placed it on my ring finger and stood up opening his arms wide. "Oh Fred!" I said again as I flung into his arms starting to cry.
My eyes quickly opened and I lifted my left hand up to see if it hadn't been all dream…if there really was an engagement ring on my finger. Nothing I realized. My left hand was free of any jewelry. I felt a little disappointed. To be honest I hadn't thought about Fred and I getting married at all until now, I wondered if that was something I wanted.
"Good Morning sunshine" Fred said smiling from his bed across the room. I groaned a little bit as I caught a glance out the window. The clouds were dark grey and it was raining hard.
"Good Morning" I said stepping out of bed and realizing I was still in my dress for the wedding. I sighed deeply and walked over to Fred's bed giving him a big kiss on the lips. He was wearing a dark blue jumper and a pair of jeans I stood back and gave him a questioning glance. "Where'd you get those?" I asked curiously. Fred shrugged.
"Meh I just pulled them outta the closet over there" he nodded his head to a closet by the door and I ran towards it hoping for nice clean clothes. I swung the doors open to reveal a nice brown wool sweater and a pair of blue jeans. I let out a sigh of relief and quickly changed out of my muddy dress.
Fred and I headed down to Hagrid's Hut again for some breakfast. We decided it would be a good idea to try and avoid the great hall all in all. Snape's pericing glare was something nether of us really wanted to have. We'd found two black rain cloaks in the closet and draped them over ourselves hoping they'd at least help us a little in staying dry. We made our way down through the mud and rain to Hagrid's little hut.
"Well ello again!" he said cheerfully as he opened the door to see us. We walked into his hut and took a seat at the table as he brewed some tea and placed a few rock cakes in front of us.
"Thanks for having us Hagrid" I said politely placing one of the rock cakes on a plate in front of me. "We thought it would be a good idea to avoid the great hall" Hagrid nodded understandingly.
"Yeah I would to if I were yer Snape ain't known for his friendliness" Fred snorted.
"Your telling me" he said. Hagrid chuckled a little placing a cup of tea in front of each of us.
"Well…" he said expectantly. "How yer two been doing then? You married yet? No little ones in the future then?" Hagrid chuckled a little as he took a bite of his rock cake. Angie and Fred both smiled awkwardly and Angie felt her cheeks go bright red.
"Er…no not at the moment Hagrid" Fred said awkwardly. "In these dark times I think we'll just stay quiet…I don't think we're quite ready for any of that yet." Angie felt as if someone had stabbed her in the gut.
"Yeah…" she replied trying to hold back her disappointment. "We're…waiting" Hagrid seemed completely oblivious to all of this and continued on eating his rock cake.
Angie and Fred waved goodbye to Hagrid and made their way through the school gates towards Hogesmede where they could stop at The Three Broomsticks and get a bite to eat before they headed home…Hagrid's food hadn't exactly been edible. Angie hadn't talked the whole way there and she didn't think Fred had a clue why.
"Angie…" he said nervously trying to keep up with her angry pace. "Angie…what's wrong?" he asked. I rolled my eyes.
"Oh of course!" I snapped angrily. "You don't even know what you did well why don't I just leave you to figure that one out Fred!" I kept on walking at a fairly fast past.
"Angie! Hey Angie wait up!" Fred grabbed my shoulder to stop me but I pulled away. "Well how do you expect me to fix this if you won't even tell me what the bloody hell I did!" I stopped and glared at Fred.
"Do you even want to be with me?" I asked him. "Or is it all just because you feel bad for the poor little girl who's had a crush on you since she was twelve!" Fred rolled his eyes.
"Oh god Angie how can you even ask me this!" he screamed angrily. "I'm crazy about you!"
"That's not what you told Hagrid!" I screamed.
"What the bloody hell did I say to Hagrid? That I wasn't ready to get married? I'm sorry if I thought the girl sitting with her head down who never discusses it with me wasn't ready so I played bad cop my bad!"
"See!" I screamed. "This right here! Your using me as an excuse not to get married because really you're still in love with Katie because her boobs are bigger then mine!" Fred looked at me completely shocked.
"Angie how could you even think that? All I can think about everyday and night is you! Your always on my mind you're the only person I want to grow old with and quite frankly I sometimes wonder if you're the one who doesn't love me!" I shook my head and sighed.
"Fred I am in love with you. I want to get old and have children and grand children with you! I wanna marry you!" Fred smiled at me.
"You wanna marry me?" he said a big grin across his face.
"Yes!" I screamed as if he'd finally got the answer to a potions question.
"Well then…" said Fred pulling a little black box out of his back pocket.
"Angelina Elizabeth Johnson I have loved you since the first moment I laid eyes on you…I was just never man enough to say it. Will you do the honor of marrying my sorry ass" I chuckled a little bit tears forming in my eyes. This wasn't my dream this wasn't how it was supposed to happen…it was better.
"OF COURSE!" I screamed giving Fred my hand and letting him place the deep blue ring on my finger.
"Now your mine forever" he said wrapping his arms around me and kissing me affectionately as the rain poured down around us.
I'd always dreamed of this moment the moment a boy asked me to marry him he got down on one knee…a boy I loved someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with forever and always. In the dream it'd always been a beautiful sunny day…we'd be in the field behind my house and I'd be in a beautiful summer dress that was blowing in the wind…but this was much better because I'd always wanted a kiss in the rain. And really…if you truly love someone…it doesn't matter where they ask just…that they're asking.
