Disclaimer: I now own one more character! *Jumps for joy* His name is
Christopher Darien, and he starts all these new fights.
The Christmas excitement had begun and decorations were up. Students had one more week of classes and then they were free to go. Percy and Ginny were going to go home for the holidays but Fred, George, and Ron were staying. To Fred's excitement, Angelina was staying also.
Dumbledore stood up one morning, five days left until break, with an announcement. "We've got a new student. All though he transferred late from Canada, he was sorted and put into Gryffindor. I'm sure the Gryffindors will make him feel at home." He gave them all a look in which they had to now nod. They all did. "Excellent! Now continue with your breakfast." Dumbledore sat down and started talking with Professor McGonagall.
"A new student? This late?" George said to the group as Christopher, a 15 year old with pale skin, bright blue eyes, and blonde-brown hair, found a seat at the table next to Ginny, who started immediately blushing.
Fred wasn't listening. He was looking at Angelina's face and her friends. They had all started giggling as soon as they heard that the new kid was going to be in Gryffindor. They continued to stare at him, and giggle.
Fred couldn't concentrate on his first class that morning. What if Angelina likes him more then me, he kept thinking to himself. What if she dumps me today? What if she starts dating him right away? In the distance, someone was calling Fred's name. He just ignored it.
"Fred. Fred! FRED!" Lee Jordan was calling his name.
"Huh?" Fred said, still spacing out.
"FRED! What going on?"
"Nothing," he said, finally aware of his surroundings.
"Then why haven't you paid attention at all? You usually pay attention a little at least."
"I don't know. I've just been thinking," he said. "About.about.An,"
"About Angelina." Lee Jordan finished. "And you're worried that she likes that new kid, Christopher Darien." Lee looked pretty pleased with himself after seeing Fred's shocked face.
"Am I that easy to read? I mean, jeez, Oliver, now you." He trailed off as the bell rang for the end of class.
As Fred reached the Great Hall for lunch, he saw Angelina already sitting and spotted the empty seat next to her. He quickly ran and beat an irritated Katie to it.
"Hello!" Angelina said brightly. "How was Defense Against The Dark Arts?"
"Fine," he said quickly, smiling.
"That's good. Is everything okay?" She looked at Fred's face, which seemed to be full of worries.
"Yes, of course. Why?"
"You just look a little worried and tired. Here, maybe this will make you feel better." She leaned over and gave him such a gentle kiss on his lips that he could hardly stay troubled.
Yep, he thought, she must like me.
Just as Angelina pulled away, Christopher strolled over and sat across from the two.
"Hey Angelina! Professor McGonagall made me stay later and see if I was 'situated' with all of my classes." He grinned this wonderful grin of his that made Ginny, who was sitting close by, blush. "Hi! I'm Christopher. I don't think I've met you yet," he said to Fred.
"Fred Weasley, er, nice to meet you." Fred said stiffly.
"Nice to meet you too. Oh yeah, Angelina, you dropped your quill in Transfiguration."
"Thanks," she said as she took back her quill.
"So, you two have class together?" Fred said, trying his hardest to keep out the jealousy in his voice.
"Umm. yeah! We have Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures, and Defense Against The Dark Arts," she said as she counted them off on her fingers.
"Oh," was all Fred could say to that. Because Angelina was a year younger than Fred, they didn't have any classes with each other.
"Angelina is very smart with the animals," Christopher said. "She calmed down an extremely hyper niffler the other day," he said as he smirked at Angelina.
"Oh, come on now," she said reddening.
All this flirting being done by Christopher was making Fred sick.
"Excuse us," Fred said as he suddenly grabbed Angelina's arm and pulled her in to the hall.
"Fred! Oww! You're hurting me! Stop!" Fred stopped just outside the Great Hall.
"What is your problem?" she asked sternly, rubbing her arm.
"Christopher is totally flirting with you," he blurted out.
"What?! No he isn't. He's new here and we're just friends. I'm helping him learn the place."
"Well, I can tell, he absolutely likes you."
"Well, I don't like him that way. I like you." Her stern look softened to a warm glow, reserved only for Fred.
He smiled at her and pulled her into a hug. They were good.
Later that night, Fred and George had a detention to take care of for Professor Snape. They were caught tossing dragon eggshells into some of the Slytherins caldrons, causing their potions to turn from purple to gray, then explode and drench all the Slytherins in pimples. It was quite the prank but Professor Snape didn't think so. He gave them detention and took forty points total from Gryffindor.
Fred was dismissed from the detention earlier than George because George had decided to stick his hand in a jar filled with juicy, orange balls. Snape had seen and kept him longer while Fred was able to go.
Walking up the stairs to Gryffindor Tower, Fred passed The Bloody Baron. The Baron gave him a nasty look before going down the hall to talk with Peeves. Fred got the chills and hurriedly ran to the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Saggitario," he said to the Fat Lady and she swung forward to let him in.
Fred moved swiftly through the hole but stopped dead at what he saw on the couch.
Ohhhhhh, sorry about the cliffhanger but I couldn't help it! It was just too perfect to pass up. Don't worry; I'll get the next chapter up ASAP. Thanks for reading. Please review!!
