Ch 25

Fred's POV

"Miss Keys!" I watched Hailey bolt upright as McGonagall called her name.

"Yes, Professor McGonagall?" she said halfheartedly.

"Were you even paying attention?" McGonagall sighed, "You are one of my best students Miss Keys, and I can't have you not paying attention."

"I'm sorry, Professor," Hailey mumbled, "I just got out of the hospital wing and I am a little out of it."

"Do pay attention or I will have to give you a detention." McGonagall replied before turning to teach the class again.

I whispered in her ear, "Are you saying that to get out of trouble, or are you really still out of it?" Hailey made a face.

"I think we might have to tell Oliver to cancel the meeting tomorrow, one of our chasers is a bit out of here." George murmured.

"Mr. Weasley, what is the charm to make a teacup into a bird?" McGonagall barked. Hailey automatically raised her hand.

"Miss Keys?" McGonagall nodded.

"Biriteopia."

"Correct Miss Keys, it great to see you are with us again." Hailey blushed and sat back down. I rolled my eyes. After class we all hurried back to the Gryffindor tower.

"Why does McGonagall favors you over us?" I garbled.

"It is because Hailey is a student in her class, not a prankster." Angie offered. Hailey beamed at her. George scowled.

"Yeah right, I bet she just pretends."

"I do not,"

"Do to,"

"Do not!"

I sighed as we listened to George and Hailey bicker all the way to the tower. Angie shrugged as I cast a helpless glance at her. When we got into the tower, she pulled Hailey toward the girl's dorm.

"Good night you two!" Angie called. Hailey just waved her hand. I grinned.

"Night Hal and Angie."

George and I walked up to our dorm. I pondered about a question and then I decided to ask George.

"Hey George, what did you think Hailey did today that made her so absent minded?"

George shrugged, "Bets me, maybe it has something to do with the study date with Diggory?"

"Hey maybe!" I exclaimed, "They probably weren't even studying."

George nodded, "They can't study in that tower anyway."

"So, they probably snogged each other and then in class she was probably daydreaming about it." We both looked at each other.

"YUCK!" Then we both cracked at the same time. We didn't hear the other boys come in.

"What's wrong guys?" Tyler Zane asked, looking at us weirdly.

"Nothing, nothing," George mused. He looked over at me and we laughed again. Alex shook his head.

"Alright mates, whatever you say." The rest of them changed and climbed into bed. I chuckled. I too, climbed into my bed. Maybe tomorrow I could do some investigating.

The next morning, the dorm door flew open and I got attacked by a pillow hitting me hard on the face.

"Fred and George get up!" a familiar voice crowed. The other boys muttered their complaint.

"Merlin, Hal, it's only 5!" Mark Zip groaned.

"What? It's only 5, JEEZE Hailey what do you think you are doing?" John Uele gasped as he looked at his clock.

"Rest of you sorry," Hailey mused, "But I really don't think you would want Oliver Wood in here right?" George jumped out of bed.

"He is going to what?" he yelled.

"Ollie sent me here to wake you; you see the others are up already." Hailey chuckled.

"Great, we are the last ones." I grumbled, "Come on George." I stretched and went to find my Quidditch robes.

"Yay," Hailey squealed, giving me and George both a hug from behind and ran out the door. The other laughed.

"I'm going back to bed," Alex yawned, "Good luck Fred and George; you're going to need it."

"Thanks," George muttered sarcastically, and together we hurried to the Quidditch field, where the others were waiting.

"Hey Oliver why are we awake at 5 in the morning on a Saturday?" I demanded. Oliver just shrugged.

"Well, since we are finally all here…" Oliver gave us a glare, "Guys this is Harry Potter." Harry nodded to us.

"Yeah, we know him already." George mumbled tiredly. Oliver's eyebrows went up.

"You do? Hailey told me the same thing." Hailey laughed.

"We where the first to meet him actually." I explained smugly. Hailey rolled her eyes.

"Actually, I was the first." Hailey countered.

"No we were." I shot back.

"Ok guys, I met Hailey first, but talk to you two first, satisfied?" Harry said quickly ending the argument.

"Right so now this is settled, let's get some practice in." Oliver encouraged. The other nodded and mounted their brooms. Hailey flew next to us.

"Hailey, we want to ask you something." George said. I nodded.

"What is it you want to ask me?" Hailey asked suddenly nervous. I grinned.

"What did you do yesterday?" I asked with a smirked. Hailey refused to keep eye contact with us.

"I didn't do anything yesterday." She mumbled.

"Ahh, so why did we see on the Marauder's Map that you where with Diggory in the tower we found last year?" George asked softly. Hailey blushed. Luckily for her, Angie called her over for practice.

"Ha, I knew it." I whispered into George's ear. He nodded with a smirk. Our thoughts where confirmed. Out of the blue, the quaffle came flying in our direction. Alicia came just in time to intercept it.

"Sorry guys," she apologized and then she flew to Hailey. "I was over there not there." We heard her say to Hailey, pointing to the goal post and then pointing to us. Hailey whispered something that we couldn't hear. Alicia looked over at us with a bemused expression.

"Ok, I'll talk to them." We heard her say. Hailey gave her a hug. Then she took the quaffle form her and headed off to shoot them at Oliver. Alicia hovered close to us a few minutes later.

"Guys, stop asking questions about her love life." She said.

"WHAT!" came a loud yell form the far end of the field.

"Sorry Hal, I just couldn't help myself." Alicia called. We watched Hailey whisper something into Harry's ear. Then he flew to us.

Harry recited with a laugh, "Alicia, you are in big trouble and you three better run." Then he darted away, for he saw the snitch. Alicia looked over her shoulder and yelped. Hailey was flying full speed toward us. George, Alicia and I took off for our lives. Behind us I could hear Hailey yelling, cursing and fuming.

I looked toward the spot where the others were at. Oliver and Angie watched the whole performance with a twinkle in their eyes and they were laughing their heads off.
