Chapter 1 (Fred's POV)

The Hogsmeade Trip

I couldn't wait for the Hogsmeade trip!! I lay awake on my bed. I was so excited, I couldn't sleep! The sound of thunder rumbled in the distance, like someone beating a drum. I sighed. I couldn't believe I had plucked up the courage to ask Katie. George was awake too, playing with a muggle toy that dad had found. He called it a 'GameBoy'. I decided to join him, leaping onto the carpet and shouting:

"BOO!" Over his shoulder. George jumped. I sniggered.

"HUH! I'm going to bed!"

"Don't get into a huff shit head, at least I have a date!"

"Who the hell is it!?! Come on man, tell me, Jesus!"

"Katie Bell." George gasped as if he had been kicked in the stomach. I raised an eyebrow and shrugged my shoulders.

"What?"

"You lucky bastard!" He shouted.

We clambered into our beds hours later, but I was beginning to doubt what I had done. Angelina Johnson asked me to go to Hogsmeade with her, but I said no. I wasn't sure whether I'd done the right thing by refusing Angelina but asking Katie … BUT, I don't care! Seeing as George thinks I'm lucky!! HEH HEH HEH!!

I woke up early, only to find that Katie had too. I dressed as fast as I could, and slid my wand into my pocket. I quietly opened the door and shut it with an almost silent 'click'. Then, I opened the door to the girls' dormitory, as not to wake the others. Unfortunately, Katie was already dressed. I mean fortunately!! Grr… what do I mean?? Never mind.

"Oh hey Fred. You're up earlier than usual."

"You too. All ready to go?" I asked, a little too dreamily. Luckily, she didn't notice.

"Yeah." We walked out, and saw Hagrid standing at the bottom of the staircase.

"Oh, 'allo you two! Off to 'Ogsmeade are ya? Well, I'm takin' ya so wait here a sec while I get the rest of them awake. I can't be waitin' any longer." Hagrid stomped upstairs noisily. I wouldn't be surprised if they were already awake!

Minutes later, a whole crowd of students flocked down the stairs, tired, yawning and rubbing their eyes. We laughed.

"What choo laughin' at, Fred?" Ron groaned lazily.

"You!" I laughed at my younger brother, who looked, in my opinion, very bedraggled.

"Right then," Hagrid's voice boomed throughout the Entrance Hall. "Let's get goin'." There was a sudden buzz of excited whispers, as a stork flew through the doors as Hagrid pulled them open. It was fatter than Hagrid, (not to be rude of course) and a good few feet taller. Some girls screamed as it flew over their heads. More and more storks flew in, and one tried to attack Katie. I shielded her head, and tried to shoo the bird away, but it continued it's vicious onslaught, until Hagrid petrified it.

"PETRIFICUS!" He yelled. The stork fell to the floor and I pulled Katie up.

"Are you alright?" I asked, worriedly. She nodded her head slowly. She forced a smile onto her face and stood up straight.

"I'll appreciate it if ya don't mention that to Dumbledore …" Hagrid mumbled with some difficulty.

Katie and me were just exploring Honeydukes when a man burst in, his face purple.

"Everyone is to meet up with Hagrid, now!! There's been an attack on one of the students." The shop fell silent. There were gasps of horror, whispers, and then screams. "Please, everyone stay calm!" Called the purple- faced man, rounding up all the students. In the flurry, Katie and me were squashed together and our lips met, accidentally. We were pulled away, as Colin Creevey ran between our legs.

"Oh err… I'm sorry…" I began.

"No, no… it was my fault." We laughed nervously. I could feel myself burning up. We were both very red in the face with embarrassment.

"OOOOOOOOO!" Called Ron from behind. "Fred's got a girlfriend, Fred's got a girlfriend!"

"Shut up, Ron!" I hissed angrily. Katie stared at Ron icily. Ron hurried away with the crowd, sensing danger. Katie and I stumbled out of the shop and met Hagrid in the center of the little village. He led us all back to the castle, where we had our lunch in the Great Hall. Katie and me sat at the Gryffindor table, when Draco Malfoy strutted over to us.

"What's the rumor about you and Bell, Weasley?"

"Get lost, Malfoy."

"Finally found yourself a girlfriend? So tell me, how did you do it? Is she under a Love-Potion?"

"N—"

"NO I AM NOT UNDER ANY POTION WHATSOEVER! JUST PISS OF YOU LITTLE BUGGER!" Mika looked at Draco sternly.

"Draco, how dare you go insulting other people!" Mika cried, shocked. Draco was shunted away by Marcus Flint for their Quidditch Practice, so he had no time to retort.

"Thanks Mika." Katie said.

"No problem. My boyfriend can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. Don't worry about him." I smiled and so did Katie.
