Couldn't. Wouldn't.

Bronwen's POV

He was in love. With someone else. Damn it. I had gone to tell him how I felt, and found out he was in love with someone else. Someone with brown hair. I thought hard of all the girls, but couldn't think of one whom he'd like. Scratch that. Someone he loved. This wasn't fair. I was an idiot. It had taken me four years to learn I loved him. It would explain why I was always holding his hand and such. I really was in love with him. I sat on my bed and cried. I stayed there. I didn't come out of my room. For the whole day. Soon enough, Ginny walked in.

'Brownie?' she asked. I sobbed and she rushed up to me, putting her arm around me. 'What's wrong?' she asked. I sobbed.

'F-Fred.' I said simply. Her face screwed up in anger.

'What's that git done?' she snarled. My eyes widened.

'H-He fell in love!' I sobbed. Her expression softened.

'And you love him.' she summed up. I nodded, tears coming out of my eyes at a rapid rate. She hugged me close and I sobbed. 'I'm sorry...' Ginny sighed. I pulled back.

'What do I do?' I sniffed.

'I don't know. I'll ask Tom later.' Ginny said nervously. I didn't question who Tom was. I wish I had now. I lay down on my bed and cried into the pillow. 'Please come down.' Ginny begged.

'But I-I look horrid!' I sobbed. She smiled.

'Good thing I'm here then, huh?' I chuckled weakly and she took me over to the vanity, putting my hair up and cleaning up my face. I sniffed when she had finished. 'Don't you dare cry, you'll mess up your make-up!' Ginny said. I looked in the mirror.

'Wow!' I gasped. I actually looked REALLY nice! Ginny had done it beautifully! I got up and hugged her. 'Thank you Ginny!' She smiled.

'You're welcome! Now, come on, let's make Fred regret not liking you!' she decided. I rolled my eyes, feeling happier. I'd blow his socks off. Hell yeah.

Ginny dragged me downstairs and everyone in the common room looked up. No one had seen me all day. They were all thoroughly surprised at this as I was always up and about. Most people gasped when they saw me. Wow. Ginny must've done good. But Fred's face was the best. His mouth was open and he was staring at me. I smiled at him and Ginny continued to pull me along. We ran up to them and grinned.

'Where've you been?' Harry asked, hugging me. He'd obviously been worried.

'U-Um. I'll tell you later...' I mumbled. MY boys looked at me in shock. I placed my hands on my hips. 'What?' I demanded.

'Y-You look pretty!' Lee managed. The twins nodded and I sighed. I was really flattered. Really. But I still had to make fun of them.

'Are you saying I don't look pretty most of the time?' I glared, playfully. They fell for it though.

'NO! No, we-um-you-um-you just look prettier than normal!' George stuttered. I chuckled.

'Shall I take that as a compliment?' I asked. They all nodded.

'So, where were you?' Fred asked, after getting over the initial shock. I sighed.

'I don't want to tell any of you.' I said simply. I knew this'd hurt them.

'But why?' Fred asked, anger flashing through his eyes. I sighed.

'You won't tell me who you love!'

'You're telling Harry and Ginny!'

'You've told George and Lee!' I shot back. He went silent. He'd tell me. Some day.

'Touché' he said simply, before turning towards the boys dorm.

'ARGH!' I yelled, running to the boys dorm, overtaking Fred who looked shocked and I ran into their room. I locked the door and sat on my mattress that had been placed for me. I stared at nothing and sighed. I heard a knock.

'Bronnie? Please let me in?' I heard Harry say. I got up and opened the door. He siddled in. I saw Fred's face come up the stairs and locked the door again. Harry sat on my mattress and I sat next to him. 'What's wrong?' he asked. I sighed and whispered everything. I knew Fred would be trying to listen and so I spoke as quietly as I could. Harry understood though and hugged me. I didn't cry though. I couldn't. I wouldn't.

Got their wires a wee bit crossed there, haven't they? :D

Review? Please? ^_^
