A/N: Thanks SO much to all my responders! You have insipred me to write
another chapter within 3 days. Ask any of my friends that has never
happened before ever! I usually take about a month! LoL. Oh yeah! I
realized a while ago that I never mentioned how old they all are here. I'm
thinking beginning of 3rd year or so. Just thought that was important
information. So anyway....read this and continue responding and I'll
continue writing!

Chapter 2: What a Mess!
Angelina slowly made her way down from the girl's dormitory as the twins and Lee did the same from the boys'.
"There he is.", Angelina said quietly to herself. She swallowed the lump in her throat and continued walking towards them.
"There she is!", George whispered to Fred, "Now...just walk up to her and ask if you can talk to her."
"Then say something really sweet and corny like...like....you look nice today.", added Lee.
"And then what?", asked Fred.
"Then tell her how you feel. Chicks dig that whole honesty thing.", Lee informed him.
Fred looked uncertain but he agreed and made his way over to Angelina before she reached the middle of the common room where people could hear them.
"Hey....Angelina, could I talk to you for a minute?", he asked her trying to keep his cool.
Angelina quickly glanced at Lee out of the corner of her eye. He and George were setting up another chess game on a table near the back of the room. Deciding he wasn't going anywhere for a while she let Fred lead her away to a corner of the common room where no one was.
"What is it?", she asked him once they had reached the corner.
"Well...", Fred began nervously, "you look nice today."
"Er...thanks. Is that all?", she asked, somewhat confused.
"No." Fred took a deep breath and decided to get it all out. "Look Angelina, I have to tell you something and I'm gonna do it fast so don't interrupt. Ok?" She nodded.
"Here goes then..." Fred said looking terribly nervous. "I like you Angelina. A lot. I've liked you since I don't even remember when and it's been killing me that I couldn't tell you because I was too nervous so I waited until I couldn't stand it anymore and I told George and Lee and then I was afraid that if I didn't tell you they would and I really didn't want you to find out that way so I told you now and I was really hoping you'd go out with me sometime."
He said all of this very quickly and it took Angelina a moment to process what she was hearing. Once she realized what her friend had just told her she sat stunned. How could she tell him that she had actually come downstairs to say the same thing to his best friend?! When words finally came to her they sounded quite choked up.
"I don't know what to say." she managed to tell him.
"That's ok." he said. His face was as red as his hair, if not redder.
"I really really don't. Can I get back to you on this tomorrow? I just remembered something upstairs." she responded, equally as red. She made sure to flash him her sweetest smile as she walked away. She thought he deserved at least that considering what he had just gone through.

Katie sat on her bed reading. Suddenly her head popped up and she looked at her watch. "I almost forgot!" she thought "Angelina! It's been more then 10 minutes!" She grinned. "I knew everything would work out! I'm so.."
Her thoughts were interrupted when Angelina burst through the door repeating "Why me?" over and over again. She fell onto her bed and shoved her face into her pillow muffling her words.
"Angelina...."
Angelina sat up. Her face was still red and she looked terribly upset.
"Oh no!! Did he turn you down? I am so sorry...."
"I wish. That would be better then the true story."
She proceeded to tell Katie exactly what had happened in the common room and then fell back into her pillow and began mumbling again.
"Oh dear...that is terrible. But don't worry! We'll think of something! We'll fix this...somehow." said Katie looking puzzled. She couldn;t let her friend go through this alone! Besides, she loved meddling in other people's love lives. This sounded like it would be fun to sort out!

Fred sat down next to Lee and George and began watching them silently. Knowing this meant something was up, George spoke.
"How'd it go."
"I have no idea."
"What? How does that work?" Lee asked looking at him confused.
"Well...I told her. And she sat there kinda stunned. And then she said she didn't know what to say. And that she'd get back to me."
Lee and George both looked as though they now understood how he didn't know but pretended not to.
"How could you not know?! That's gotta be a good sign!" said Lee reassuringly.
"What sign?"
"Well she smiled at you didn't she? That's gotta mean something good!" said George.
"Yeah....I guess you're right."
A/N: So what do you think? I know it's pretty short, but my chapters are always short! Please review!!
