Chapter 7: Time doesn't heal all wounds.
"I gotta go to detention," Angelina sighed, squinting up into the harsh sunlight above the quidditch pitch. Groaning she rolled over to face Cho, who was still laying on the grass with her eyes closed tightly shut.
"Bugger," she muttered, blowing a wisp of hair out of her face. "I'd come with but- well, it would mean getting up." Angelina giggled, jumping to her feet and pulling her up so that they were at eye level.
"You're up now," she laughed.
"Shuddup! No need to rub it in-" Cho yawned, falling back onto the pitch and 'snoring' softly. Angie rolled her eyes, swinging her bag over one slender shoulder and walking towards the castle, brushing grass of her robes as she went.
"Angie, wait up!" Cho called from behind her, running up so that they were level. Angelina cast a sidelong glance at her and replied innocently:
"I thought you were asleep."
"Oh get off!" her new friend admonished, grinning nonetheless as she pushed her playfully. They walked on in comfortable silence for a while, then suddenly, Angelina froze as a familiar song escaped from Cho's lips.
"Maybe it's intuition, but some things you just don't question,
Like in your eyes I see my future in an instant,
And there it goes I think I've found my best friend-
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy but I believe,
I knew I loved you before I met you I think I dreamed you into life.
I knew I loved you before I met you, I have been waiting all my life-"
"What are you singing?" Angelina asked sharply.
"Uh- Savage Garden- it's a muggle band. Why?" she asked, glancing at Angelinas strained face as she strode a little bit ahead. "Angelina! Why?" she demanded, grabbing her arm and spinning her around, gasping as she saw tears forming in her eyes.
"It's nothing," she insisted, brushing away the tears.
"Like hell it's nothing, Angelina Johnson! You tell me what's going on this instant!" Cho frowned, putting a comforting arm around her shoulders nonetheless. Angelina sighed and Cho noted the hint of a sob in the resigned sound.
"That's our song- he went to every length in the world to tape it for me when he found out I liked it, and because of it, I ended up liking him," she explained, her eyes softening as she recalled.
"He?" Cho inquired softly, taking Angelinas arm and leading her towards the trophy room. Angelina gazed at the stony floor up ahead and sighed again.
"Who do you think?" she said, a smile finding it's way to her tight lips. Cho thought for a moment before she realised that only one person in the world had the power to make her so happy, yet so incredibly sad-
"Fred?" Angelina nodded, not bothering to check the tears that were now streaming down her face.
"And now I've stuffed it up! Now I can't tell him that I love him because he hates me!" she wailed, burying her face into Cho robes.
"Why would he hate you? What happened this morning, Ange?" Angelina groaned and shook her head. "If you don't tell me I can't help you-" Cho said pointedly.
"OK, OK," she scowled. "Well, this won't support my argument here, but- he kissed me," she said in a small voice.
"Oh of course the classic 'I hate you so much I think I'll kiss you' scenario-," Cho laughed before Angelina interrupted.
"-And I said I only wanted to be friends-"
"YOU DID WHAT?!?!?! Why?" Cho exploded, dropping her quills and parchment in surprise.
"Because I like him so much it scare the crap out of me!" she shrugged helplessly. Cho opened her mouth to say something when the other 2 Griffindor chasers stumbled out of a classroom, grinning broadly, and took Angelina by the arms.
"Alicia? I think we just got our explanation," Katie grinned. Angelina squealed and recoiled back.
"Huh?" Cho asked in confusion. "What are you 2 doing here? I told you-" Angelina turned on Cho, anger etched across her pretty face.
"You told them what?" she demanded, her already huge brown eyes widening to impossible proportions.
"That I'd find out if you were OK-" Cho replied unabashed. "Everyone has been worried about you recently- especially Fred. The other day, he went to Madame Pomfrey to ask if you had been in there recently."
"Why?" she asked in confusion. "I haven't been ill-"
"No, but you haven't been you either-" Katie pleaded. "It that why you've been acting strange recently?" Angelina nodded, hanging her head in shame.
"Well, we're just gonna hafta do something about this- come up to the commonroom."
"Can't," Angelina said suddenly, grinning like a Cheshire cat. "I have detention-"
"Really? Where?" Katie asked, her eyes sparkling dangerously.
"The trophy room-" Alicia gasped then giggled and Angelina looked at her, smiling. "What?"
"Nothing- well, have fun," Katie and Alicia laughed, as they bounced off around the corner. "We'll wait up for you!" Angelina laughed and turned to a very apprehensive looking Cho.
"Don't worry, I'm not angry," she grinning, hugging her briefly. "Thankyou for helping me out."
"It's all cool," she grinned. "Now you get up to detention already-" Angelina glanced at the old father clock on the wall and gasped.
"Whoa, I'm gonna be late if this keeps up- I'll see you later-" Angelina spun on her heal and bolted up the stairs. Cho smirked and strode around the corner to where Katie and Alicia were doubled up with silent laughter.
"Fred's on detention too, isn't he?" she asked, struggling to hold in her own giggles.
"Yup!" Katie managed to gasp out. "He cursed Snape's hair scarlet and gold!" Cho leant against the wall to stop herself from falling as she laughed like a demented Hyena.
"Trophy room?" she asked through her giggles.
"Hell yeah!" all three raced up the stairs to the old abandoned room, slipping in completely unnoticed.
"They're not here yet-" Katie whispered, but Alicia suddenly held a finger to her lips and pointed into the shadows. The door opened and suddenly they heard a familiar voice whisper.
"Angelina?"………
Sorry, really crappy ending for this chapter, but it'll have to do. C ya'll later.
