She paused for a moment and upon realizing what he meant, she just
stared at him, stunned. Damn You! I wasn't even going to say that. I wasn't
even going to talk about Nick. I wanted to tell you that he asked me to
study with him again tomorrow, but I decided not to go. because. because. I
want to spend time with you. YOU - MORON!!!! But instead of saying what she
really feels, she did the most reasonable and impertinent thing to do in a
situation such as this --- ACT and LIE.
'So you mean we are over???' she asked with a hint of smile. Don't you cry, now! Not now! Wait until you are not in front of him! Show him that you are not affected at all! Show him that you are glad!
'Yeah. I hope that makes you happy,' was his reply, looking extremely hurt upon seeing the smile that she has been trying to hide. I've lost her. I've lost her. She's gone. She's leaving me behind. He looked down and then faced her again. He tried to smile and said, 'I guess - er - I should just thank you for everything.'
'Oh, no problem! Thank you! At least, the breaking up was mutual. I'll just see you around ok!' she said while tapping his back, and then she started skipping out of the boys' dormitories like a little school girl. Not yet. not yet. His friends might see you. =========
I'm over. I'm over. LeGrand. SHIT! That dirty stupid son of a bitch of a moron! Oh please. Just the thought of Angelina talking with LeGrand made him extremely red with anger. This thought made him hit the wall. He didn't know what else to do. He's really confused now. Then, he heard soft laughter and footsteps approaching the door. He decided to jump on his bed and pretended to be asleep.
'Hey!' George said, moving his eyebrows up and down. 'So, Angelina looked pretty happy going down the stairs, skipping like mad. What happened?'
She's happy when I'm miserable? She should have at least. pretended. that. she was even just a bit sad. about it. What am I going to tell them?! Angelina is skipping because I broke up with her?! Angelina is happy because we are over and she can now date LeGrand?! Oh, what will they all say. He felt someone shake him, it was Lee.
'Hey, buddy!' Lee said, teasingly. 'I know you are awake. Come on, tell us what the hell happened! I'm losing my patience! So, you got back together or something???' Fred just covered his face with his pillow.
'Ibwokeupwider,' he mumbled.
'What?' George asked, looking tense. 'Will you take the pillow off your face so we can understand? Damn it!' then grabbed the pillow from Fred's grip. Fred emerged from his lying position and is now sitting down, looking at them straight in the eyes.
'What the heck happened? Have you been---,' Lee asked upon seeing his red face and watery eyes, but he was interrupted by the arrival of Ron, Harry and Seamus.
'So Fred?' Ron said while smiling at him. 'I saw a certain girl who looked incredibly happy, skipped like mad, while going down the staircase.'
'It looks like you are in good terms with her, already!' Harry added while smiling teasingly at Fred. 'She's beyond happy! What happened?'
'She was radiant and looked as if she was floating, she was skipping like mad.' Seamus added.
Oh God! I've lost her. I've totally lost her. What will I tell them??? Help. please! Something inside began to hurt, again. Fred closed his eyes and then bit his lip and then closed them again. He took a deep breath and sighed, hoping that he would feel better. She's happy I broke up with her. She's happy I broke up with her. I've totally lost her. She's gone. He felt someone elbow his chest, it was Ron.
'Hello? Would you mind if we ask you what happened?' Ron asked, looking anxious.
'Are you ok, Fred?' Harry asked, looking concerned. 'It's ok if you don't want to tell us.'
'WE - BROKE - UP,' was Fred's reply. He went pale and then quickly looked down. 'She was happy. because. we - broke - up.' Lee, Ron, Harry and Seamus' jaw dropped while George frowned. They all went silent. Ron opened his mouth a couple of times but closed it again since he couldn't think of anything to say and so did Harry, Seamus and Lee. George just remained frowning and was muttering words to himself, which nobody understood.========
'Angelina? Yoohoo! Angelina?' Katie yelled, looking excited. 'Where are you?'
'Over here in the bathroom. Just wait a second ok!' she yelled back and then blew her nose. She washed her face and prayed to God that tears would stop streaming down her face. Katie couldn't wait anymore. She was so anxious to hear what happened that she just stormed in the bathroom. She saw Angelina blowing her nose. This made her frown.
'What happened?' Katie asked while walking towards her, trying her best to have a good view of her face. Angelina, however, kept on tilting, moving and turning her head. 'What happened?'
'Didn't I tell you to wait outside? Geez! What's wrong with you?' was her reply.
'Me? What's wrong with me? What wrong with you? You keep on tilting and turning and moving that head of yours. Now, what happened?'
'Nothing I just have a cold and headache'
'I am not an idiot. Don't treat me like I was born yesterday. Look at me. For the last time, what happened?' Angelina looked at her and then tears started streaming down her face uncontrollably. She was sobbing really hard, unable to speak. This terrified Katie. She hugged Angelina and stroked her back softly. 'It's ok. I'm here. It's ok. Go ahead and cry. it will make you feel so much better. We can talk later, when you've calmed down a little.'========
It was 4 o'clock in the morning the next day. Katie, still thinking about last night, got off her bed and checked on Angelina. Good, she's still sleeping. I wonder what happened. She walked over to Alicia's bed and carefully woke her up.
'Hmm.' she mumbled while shifting to a more comfortable position.
'Alicia, wake up! I want to tell you something.' Katie whispered. 'It's about what happened last night between - er - Fred and Angelina.' Alicia opened her eyes immediately. Katie stood up from her bed and gestured for Alicia to follow her in the bathroom. Alicia, whose eyes were still half closed, followed her after a few seconds. 'Can't it wait until tomorrow?' Alicia said, looking sleepy and then frowned. 'Did you really have to wake me up this early? I heard that Angelina was skipping like mad yesterday and she looked beyond happy. I think I know what happened with the two---' but she was interrupted by Katie.
'I don't think so and will you keep your voice down?!' she hissed. 'You might wake Angelina up!'
'What do you mean you don't think so?' said Alicia, looking intrigued. 'Look, you woke me up. So just tell me already! I want to.' but she was interrupted by another sleepy voice. It was Angelina.
'Hey! I couldn't help but hear your whispering. I also heard my name.'
'What happened Angelina? You scared me last night.' Katie said, looking concerned.
'You woke up this early for that??? It's no big deal. REALLY! I always knew that this day would come.' said Angelina and then started moving, turning, and tilting her head. Both girls frowned and then looked at each other.
Alicia mouthed, 'SHE IS GOING TO CRY'. Katie just nodded.
'Will you please tell us?' Alicia asked, trying her best to get a good view of her face.
'Well, we broke up.'
'What?!' Alicia said in a very loud whisper. 'Why? Now that is weird. How?'
'Well, I followed him, right? I told him that he didn't have any right to treat Nick like that.' she said, starting to cry again. 'I, *hik*, I, wanted to tell him that, *hik*, that Nick asked me to study with him. He didn't even let me finish. *hik* He just started screaming at the top of his lungs! He said that he, Nick, wanted to ask if he could go around kissing me already and all that rubbish!' She started sobbing like a little girl, looking extremely fragile and vulnerable.
'Then?' Katie asked.
'I wasn't even going to talk about Nick and I. *hik* I don't like Nick. *hik* I wanted to tell him that Nick asked me to study with him again, but I'm not going because I - wanted - to - spend - time - with - him! *hik*' she said, sobbing uncontrollably. 'He told me that he looked like a prat down there and that I should have, at least, had the decency to end the one that I have with him first.' *hik* Katie conjured a glass of water and offered it to her, but she just pushed it away. 'Maybe, I was just trying to hard.'
'It's his loss, you know!' Alicia said while stroking his back.
'Will you promise me that you will not tell anybody about this??? Please?'
'Sure, if that's what you like,' was their reply. ============
'Hey Fred!!!! Get up!!! You'll be late!!!' Lee yelled while shaking him wildly. 'We have Potions first, damn it! WAKE UP!!!!!!!'
'I'm not going to school. I don't feel well.' was Fred's reply. 'I don't want to see her.' 'Bloody hell! Wake up!' George said. 'What will you tell Snape? I have a "broken heart" that's why I can't go to school today?'
'Prof. Snape, I'm sorry I missed your class. My girlfriend, I mean, my EX- girlfriend broke my heart into pieces. Is that what you'll be telling him? You know that Snape's mental!' Lee said, rolling his eyes. 'Look, Fred. You are one of the bravest people that I have ever met. You can't let her see you like this. Go out and find someone for yourself too.'
'Yeah! We will help you!' George said. 'Now, get off your bed and get ready for school.' ============
'A FEW ANNOUNCEMENT BEFORE BREAKFAST,' Dumbledore said. 'I will be away for a whole week for a meeting with the Ministry of Magic, and Prof. Mcgonagall will be away for three days to represent me in a meeting in Scotland. For your Transfiguration Classes, a substitute teacher will be assigned in each grade level. Please treat your substitute teacher the way you treat Professor Mcgonagall. That is all and Thank you. You may begin!'
They all started eating when a grey owl flew towards Hermione, and then dropped a package on her hand.
'OH! It's from Mum and Dad!' she said, looking extremely excited. She read the card first and then opened the package excitedly.
'I bet that it is a book!' Ron said to Harry, chuckling.
'Oh, no! It's a discman! Cool gift, Hermione!' Harry said. 'Which CD's do you have?'
'Well, I broke my old one last summer. I'm so glad that they were listening to me the whole time! I only have Kylie Minogue with me right now. I could ask my parents to send them over if you really want to see them.'
'Hermione? What's that?' Ron asked, looking quite interested. 'Would you mind if I look at it?'
'Well, I thought that you didn't want to talk to me ever again.'
'Ok. fine. if you don't want to.' he said, looking down on his plate. 'I was just.'
'I was kidding! I'm glad that you broke your word again!' she said, looking happy. 'It's a Discman. You see this flat circle? It has music recorded in it. You press this button to open this. You put the flat circle, CD or Compact Disc, in it and then you close it and then you press "PLAY". As soon as you do that, music will start playing.' She handed it to him, so he can try.
'Oh, how come I don't hear anything?'
'Because you have to put the Earphones here,' then Hermione placed the earphones on Ron's ears and smiled at him.
'WICKED!' said Ron, smiling to Hermione. 'Who is this?'
'Kylie Minogue, one of my favourite singers. You like her?'
'Yeah, she's alright! Nice music. Mind if I borrow it sometime?' 'Sure! No Problem! I'll ask my mum to send me more CD's so we can listen to more varieties of music!'
'That would be great Hermione!' Ron said, looking excited. Harry just stared at the two of them while they were talking and then smiled teasingly at Ron, as soon as Hermione had left the table.
'What the hell? Why are you smiling at me like that?'
'Nothing, nothing, nothing.' was Harry's reply and quickly gathered his things. 'Ron! we are going to be late you prat!' =============
'There will be an oral recitation today! It is going to be an 'ALL or NOTHING' test.' Snape said coolly. 'It's either you get 100% or 0%!'
'Shit! Good thing we woke you up!' George said, looking irritated since there is a surprise recitation test. 'You would have had, immediately, received a Zero!'
'I know that I'll be getting a Zero anyway. you should have let me sleep in!' Fred hissed.
'Weasley and Weasley! I'm taking away 5 pts. From Gryffindor for silly discussions!' Snape yelled. Everybody looked and Fred saw Nick LeGrand smirk. 'For our first pair..'
'Thank you God for making it into pairs!!!' Fred said to himself, looking a little relieved. 'At least someone can help me out. I hope that that person went over our notes..'
'For our first pair, Weasley, and.. Johnson,' said Snape. Everybody looked at the Weasley twins then to Angelina Johnson. Fred buried his face in his hands while Angelina looked at Snape with an indescribable expression. Fred looked at Angelina and when they caught each others gaze, they both immediately looked away.
'Well? What are you two doing? Do you want to get an automatic Zero?' George stood up in an attempt to save his brother. Snape just said "Weasley and Johnson," anyway.
'Which Weasley, sir?' Angelina asked.
'Oh yeah! There's two here. I want Weasley, F. Yes. I want Weasley, F. Now, hurry up!' Fred looked at George helplessly while George slowly sat down.
'I'll kill you later, George.' He hissed and then hurried up.
'Well, come here in front! Hurry! I don't have all day! Weasley, ask Johnson where the ingredients of a Love Potion can be found and what they are, while you, Johnson, ask Weasley how to make a Love Potion. Begin!' They both took a deep breath and began.
'Hey - er - Angelina! Would you mind telling me the ingredients of a love potion and where they can be found?' Fred asked, politely. 'I need - er - to make some for a certain girl,' he said and then nearly slapped himself for saying that. Lee and George winced.
'Oh, of course Fred! Um, you will need Frozen Ashwinder Eggs,' she said, and continued with other ingredients. After Angelina, Fred described how to make a love potion which was really easy for him since he has been reading about Love Potions right after their break up. Snape was utterly amazed. 'That is the final step in mixing a Love Potion.' He concluded.
'Good, Weasley and Johnson,' said Snape, sarcastically. 'I can't believe it! Finally, after all these years. Weasley will finally receive a 100% mark and not a Zero. for the first time in 7 yrs.' Fred just rolled his eyes. ===========
After their break up, Fred never saw her alone. She was always with Katie and/or Alicia, or other girls from her classes, or Nick LeGrand. This annoyed and irritated him terribly. He hated him more than anything and anybody in the whole wide world. He's such an arrogant perfectionist. He's a moron. He's everything that he is not. He hated everything about that person, Nick LeGrand.
'Look Fred, be reasonable! If the girl doesn't want to be with you, so be it!' Lee said, rolling his eyes. 'I'm not going to stand here and encourage you to do something that I know will hurt you more! Live life like you used too! Don't let her see how miserable you are! Will you at least pretend?'
'Look, Lee! I know what you mean!'
'No, you don't!' he snapped back. 'That thick head of yours is malfunctioning, that's why!'
'But you don't understand!' Fred whined. 'She's my first serious girlfriend! You have no idea ---' but he was interrupted by George's loud voice.
'You have no idea about Quidditch?!'
'What the hell are you talking about?' Fred asked, looking confused by the sudden shifting of the topic. 'What the hell is wrong with you, George?' But George ignored him.
'So, what did Madam Hooch say?' George asked, looking casual. Then he heard the most beautiful voice that he has ever heard, the voice of his one and only angel, Angelina Johnson.
'Hi! She told me that we can practice for Quidditch later, 4:30 pm sharp!' Fred jumped back and then quickly faced her.
'Angelina!'
'I'm so sorry I startled you Fred!' she said, smiling. Fred saw a pair of strong arms wrap around his angel's waist, which made Angelina look uncomfortable. He frowned upon the sight of Nick LeGrand's face.
'Hey, Weasley!' he said, mockingly and sarcastically. 'How's the love potion going?' Fred just stared at him straight in the eye and then walked away. George and Lee immediately followed.
'Is that a blood relative of the Malfoy's?' Lee asked George in a whisper. 'He sure looks and behaves like one!' ===========
Their substitute teacher for Transfiguration was late, so they all started talking.
'I hope that it's not Snape!' Lee said then they heard the door open.
''Hello, Hello! Good afternoon everybody!' came a soft but firm voice. She started walking down the aisle. 'I'm deeply sorry for being late.' Fred couldn't believe it. His ex-girlfriend is their substitute teacher.
'What the hell! This is unbelievable!' George said, looking amazed. 'People appear just when you need them the most! It's Amelie, Fred!'
'Looking good, Amelie!' Lee shouted. Katie looked at him with a puzzled expression, and then mouthed, 'You know this girl???'
'Hello, Lee and George! You don't look too bad, yourself!' she said and then turned to the other redhead beside George. 'Hello, Fred! It' been what, 3 yrs.?' Fred just stared at her and thought that she has changed a lot.
'Hey, Amelie! I mean - er - Prof. Chandler.' Fred said, uncomfortably but he managed to smile. Oh! This is too much for me! Not two ex in the same class! =============
'Harry! Ron! Stop goofing around!' Fred yelled. 'We have a game next month against Hufflepuffs! WE - HAVE - TO - WIN!!!!!! This is our last year!'
'Wow! I thought that I heard Wood talking!' George said. 'Calm down, buddy!'
After hours of practice, they decided to stop. Fred then started reminding them about things, since he is the new Gryffindor Captain, after Wood.
'Umm - er - Angel, I mean, Angelina,' he said, nearly slapping himself for calling him "Angel". 'Katie and Alicia, I want you all to go to the nearest beater, every time you score. This is for your own safety.'
'Alright!' they all said. They all sat down and started talking. Even Angelina and Fred started laughing and talking together. For Fred, this was probably the best time that they have ever spent, after their break up, together. This is totally perfect! No Nick LeGrand! But then he snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing a very familiar noise.
'Hey, Angelina!' Nick shouted. 'Let's go! It's almost dinner! We still have to study!'
'Hey! I'll be right there!' she said while smiling. Fred stood up and then shot Nick LeGrand an evil glare, but he smiled at Angelina. 'I have to---'
'So, Fred?' said Harry, teasingly. 'Are you jealous?'
Fred couldn't believe what Harry just said. Did he just say the "J" word?! He glared at Harry and said, 'ABSOLUTELY NOT!' Angelina left and she started to hug LeGrand. Something inside began to hurt again. He looked at Harry, who was looking uncomfortable.
'What the hell?! Why did you say that?! You knew very well what I'm feeling right now!'
'Hey, hey, hey! Calm down! I only did it - because---' Harry said, defensively. 'Angelina asked me too.'
'What?!' Fred asked. 'She asked you to tease me?! She did?' She asked Harry to tease me? Wow! 'I don't care! You still have no right to do that! You should be on my side!' He then turned to George and carried on chatting, with a bit of grin on his face. ===========
Fred was feeling good that evening. Angelina wanted Harry to tease him with Angelina, he thought over and over again. He felt good. He was joking with other people again and doing his pranks again. This made Lee and George feel good.
'He's back!' George whispered. Lee just smiled at the sight of Fred's beaming face.
'Password?' The fat lady asked. 'You look happy Weasley!' They all said the password and smiled at the fat lady. Their jaw dropped upon seeing Hermione and Ron listening, dancing and singing to music together. They were singing a love song! Luckily, Colin Creevey and Harry entered the room almost the same time they did and he had a camera! They all silently watched the two lovebirds, while snickering.
'Especially for you, I want to let you know what I was going through. All the time we were apart I thought of you. You were in my heart, my love never changed. I still feel the same.' Hermione sang, with feelings while her arms were around Ron's neck and they were swaying.
'Especially for you, I want to tell you I was feeling that way too. And if dreams were wings you know, I would have flown to you, to be where you are.' Ron sang, with feeling as well while his arms were around Hermione's waist and they were swaying.
'Ohh no matter how far, now that I'm next to you.'
'No more dreaming about tomorrow. Forget the loneliness and the sorrow.'
'I've got to say---'
'It's all because of you and now we are back together, together. I want to show you, my heart is oh so true. And all the love I have is especially for you.' They sang together.
'Especially for you, I want to tell you, you mean all the world to me.' Hermione sang.
'How I'm certain that our love was meant to be. You changed my life.' Ron sang.
'Hmm, you showed me the way. And now that I'm next to you.'
'I've waited long enough to find you. I want to put all the hurt behind you.'
'I want to bring out all the love inside you.'
'Oh and now were back together, together. I want to show, my heart is oh so true. And all the love I have is especially for you.' They sang together again. INSTUMENTAL.
When they heard the fat lady say, "Password". They immediately panicked. They didn't want to disturb Ron and Hermione. This sight is too enjoyable. They didn't want it to end, right away, especially Harry. When the door opened, Fred grabbed the first girl that he saw and covered her mouth. Harry, Colin, Lee and George did the same. The girls struggled at first but calmed down when they pointed in Ron and Hermione's direction. They all just stood there watching them dancing and singing. They felt so comfortable with each other. Fred let go of the girl that he grabbed and swallowed hard upon seeing Angelina's face, and then looked away.
'Awww..' Was all the girls managed to say. 'How sweet!'
Ron leaned over to kiss her and was just a few cm's away from Hermione's face, when he began to frown. He looked puzzled while staring at Hermione. He began to stutter and then looked away.
'Oh, Oh! He's realizing it!' George said. 'Quick! Do something!'
'Hermione, I - I - don't remember---' he said while stepping away from her and blushing. Hermione was blushing too but looked a little upset when Ron broke their contact.
'So, what was that?' Fred asked, teasingly. 'Don't you dare act innocent or something, Ron! WE - ALL - SAW - IT!'
'Yeah!' they said then Harry, Colin, Lee, George, Ginny, Katie, Angelina, Alicia, Lavender and Parvati appeared. Ron didn't know what to say, neither did Hermione. This was a very odd moment. They were both blushing.
'What's wrong with that? We were just listening to music and---' Ron said, defensively.
'And was about to snog!' George said.
'No! Of course not! We didn't!'
'Sure! We have proofs!' Harry said.
'Not you too, Harry!' Fred grabbed the nearest girl to him again, which was Angelina, and then started to imitate Ron. Angelina imitated Hermione.
'Especially for you, I want to let you know what I was going through. All the time we were apart I thought of you. You were in my heart, my love never changed. I still feel the same.' Angelina sang while placing her arms around Fred's neck and was swaying.
'Especially for you, I want to tell you I was feeling that way too. And if dreams were wings you know, I would have flown to you, to be where you are.' Fred sang, with feelings as well while his arms were around Angelina's waist and they were swaying.
'Ohh no matter how far, now that I'm next to you.'
'No more dreaming about tomorrow. Forget the loneliness and the sorrow.'
'I've got to say---'
'It's all because of you and now we are back together, together. I want to show you, my heart is oh so true. And all the love I have is especially for you.' They sang together.
'Especially for you, I want to tell you, you mean all the world to me.' Angelina sang.
'How I'm certain that our love was meant to be. You changed my life.' Fred sang.
'Hmm, you showed me the way. And now that I'm next to you.'
'I've waited long enough to find you. I want to put all the hurt behind you.'
'I want to bring out all the love inside you.'
'Oh and now were back together, together. I want to show, my heart is oh so true. And all the love I have is especially for you.' They sang together again. INSTUMENTAL
Fred leaned over to kiss her and was just a few cm's from Angelina's face, when he began to frown. Upon realizing what he just did, memories began hunting him again. He stared at her, looking puzzled. Angelina, who looked a little upset when he let go of her, just stared back at him. He slowly walked away and sat on the couch in front of the fireplace. Angelina just stood there and then walked towards the girls' staircase. Fred looked down and then looked at her in the corner of his eyes. She looked at him, too, before going up to her room. Everybody was silent.
'This song is good!' Lee said.
'Yep!' George said. 'Two pairs in one night!'
Author's Note:
"Especially For You" is by Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan. She's one of my favourite singers.
HEY, ASHLEIGH, LADY JAYDE UNE and POKELILPUPE!!!! Thanks so much for the review!!!! I really appreaciate it!
LADY JAYDE UNE and QUIET ONE:
I'll read your fics tom and I promise that I'll review, as well.
THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
QUESTION PLEASE:
Does any of you knows how to show italics here??? Mine doesn't seem to appear right.. It looks really funny! Plus, some dots don't appear, as well. Some sentences, don't look good without them. Can any of you help me????
'So you mean we are over???' she asked with a hint of smile. Don't you cry, now! Not now! Wait until you are not in front of him! Show him that you are not affected at all! Show him that you are glad!
'Yeah. I hope that makes you happy,' was his reply, looking extremely hurt upon seeing the smile that she has been trying to hide. I've lost her. I've lost her. She's gone. She's leaving me behind. He looked down and then faced her again. He tried to smile and said, 'I guess - er - I should just thank you for everything.'
'Oh, no problem! Thank you! At least, the breaking up was mutual. I'll just see you around ok!' she said while tapping his back, and then she started skipping out of the boys' dormitories like a little school girl. Not yet. not yet. His friends might see you. =========
I'm over. I'm over. LeGrand. SHIT! That dirty stupid son of a bitch of a moron! Oh please. Just the thought of Angelina talking with LeGrand made him extremely red with anger. This thought made him hit the wall. He didn't know what else to do. He's really confused now. Then, he heard soft laughter and footsteps approaching the door. He decided to jump on his bed and pretended to be asleep.
'Hey!' George said, moving his eyebrows up and down. 'So, Angelina looked pretty happy going down the stairs, skipping like mad. What happened?'
She's happy when I'm miserable? She should have at least. pretended. that. she was even just a bit sad. about it. What am I going to tell them?! Angelina is skipping because I broke up with her?! Angelina is happy because we are over and she can now date LeGrand?! Oh, what will they all say. He felt someone shake him, it was Lee.
'Hey, buddy!' Lee said, teasingly. 'I know you are awake. Come on, tell us what the hell happened! I'm losing my patience! So, you got back together or something???' Fred just covered his face with his pillow.
'Ibwokeupwider,' he mumbled.
'What?' George asked, looking tense. 'Will you take the pillow off your face so we can understand? Damn it!' then grabbed the pillow from Fred's grip. Fred emerged from his lying position and is now sitting down, looking at them straight in the eyes.
'What the heck happened? Have you been---,' Lee asked upon seeing his red face and watery eyes, but he was interrupted by the arrival of Ron, Harry and Seamus.
'So Fred?' Ron said while smiling at him. 'I saw a certain girl who looked incredibly happy, skipped like mad, while going down the staircase.'
'It looks like you are in good terms with her, already!' Harry added while smiling teasingly at Fred. 'She's beyond happy! What happened?'
'She was radiant and looked as if she was floating, she was skipping like mad.' Seamus added.
Oh God! I've lost her. I've totally lost her. What will I tell them??? Help. please! Something inside began to hurt, again. Fred closed his eyes and then bit his lip and then closed them again. He took a deep breath and sighed, hoping that he would feel better. She's happy I broke up with her. She's happy I broke up with her. I've totally lost her. She's gone. He felt someone elbow his chest, it was Ron.
'Hello? Would you mind if we ask you what happened?' Ron asked, looking anxious.
'Are you ok, Fred?' Harry asked, looking concerned. 'It's ok if you don't want to tell us.'
'WE - BROKE - UP,' was Fred's reply. He went pale and then quickly looked down. 'She was happy. because. we - broke - up.' Lee, Ron, Harry and Seamus' jaw dropped while George frowned. They all went silent. Ron opened his mouth a couple of times but closed it again since he couldn't think of anything to say and so did Harry, Seamus and Lee. George just remained frowning and was muttering words to himself, which nobody understood.========
'Angelina? Yoohoo! Angelina?' Katie yelled, looking excited. 'Where are you?'
'Over here in the bathroom. Just wait a second ok!' she yelled back and then blew her nose. She washed her face and prayed to God that tears would stop streaming down her face. Katie couldn't wait anymore. She was so anxious to hear what happened that she just stormed in the bathroom. She saw Angelina blowing her nose. This made her frown.
'What happened?' Katie asked while walking towards her, trying her best to have a good view of her face. Angelina, however, kept on tilting, moving and turning her head. 'What happened?'
'Didn't I tell you to wait outside? Geez! What's wrong with you?' was her reply.
'Me? What's wrong with me? What wrong with you? You keep on tilting and turning and moving that head of yours. Now, what happened?'
'Nothing I just have a cold and headache'
'I am not an idiot. Don't treat me like I was born yesterday. Look at me. For the last time, what happened?' Angelina looked at her and then tears started streaming down her face uncontrollably. She was sobbing really hard, unable to speak. This terrified Katie. She hugged Angelina and stroked her back softly. 'It's ok. I'm here. It's ok. Go ahead and cry. it will make you feel so much better. We can talk later, when you've calmed down a little.'========
It was 4 o'clock in the morning the next day. Katie, still thinking about last night, got off her bed and checked on Angelina. Good, she's still sleeping. I wonder what happened. She walked over to Alicia's bed and carefully woke her up.
'Hmm.' she mumbled while shifting to a more comfortable position.
'Alicia, wake up! I want to tell you something.' Katie whispered. 'It's about what happened last night between - er - Fred and Angelina.' Alicia opened her eyes immediately. Katie stood up from her bed and gestured for Alicia to follow her in the bathroom. Alicia, whose eyes were still half closed, followed her after a few seconds. 'Can't it wait until tomorrow?' Alicia said, looking sleepy and then frowned. 'Did you really have to wake me up this early? I heard that Angelina was skipping like mad yesterday and she looked beyond happy. I think I know what happened with the two---' but she was interrupted by Katie.
'I don't think so and will you keep your voice down?!' she hissed. 'You might wake Angelina up!'
'What do you mean you don't think so?' said Alicia, looking intrigued. 'Look, you woke me up. So just tell me already! I want to.' but she was interrupted by another sleepy voice. It was Angelina.
'Hey! I couldn't help but hear your whispering. I also heard my name.'
'What happened Angelina? You scared me last night.' Katie said, looking concerned.
'You woke up this early for that??? It's no big deal. REALLY! I always knew that this day would come.' said Angelina and then started moving, turning, and tilting her head. Both girls frowned and then looked at each other.
Alicia mouthed, 'SHE IS GOING TO CRY'. Katie just nodded.
'Will you please tell us?' Alicia asked, trying her best to get a good view of her face.
'Well, we broke up.'
'What?!' Alicia said in a very loud whisper. 'Why? Now that is weird. How?'
'Well, I followed him, right? I told him that he didn't have any right to treat Nick like that.' she said, starting to cry again. 'I, *hik*, I, wanted to tell him that, *hik*, that Nick asked me to study with him. He didn't even let me finish. *hik* He just started screaming at the top of his lungs! He said that he, Nick, wanted to ask if he could go around kissing me already and all that rubbish!' She started sobbing like a little girl, looking extremely fragile and vulnerable.
'Then?' Katie asked.
'I wasn't even going to talk about Nick and I. *hik* I don't like Nick. *hik* I wanted to tell him that Nick asked me to study with him again, but I'm not going because I - wanted - to - spend - time - with - him! *hik*' she said, sobbing uncontrollably. 'He told me that he looked like a prat down there and that I should have, at least, had the decency to end the one that I have with him first.' *hik* Katie conjured a glass of water and offered it to her, but she just pushed it away. 'Maybe, I was just trying to hard.'
'It's his loss, you know!' Alicia said while stroking his back.
'Will you promise me that you will not tell anybody about this??? Please?'
'Sure, if that's what you like,' was their reply. ============
'Hey Fred!!!! Get up!!! You'll be late!!!' Lee yelled while shaking him wildly. 'We have Potions first, damn it! WAKE UP!!!!!!!'
'I'm not going to school. I don't feel well.' was Fred's reply. 'I don't want to see her.' 'Bloody hell! Wake up!' George said. 'What will you tell Snape? I have a "broken heart" that's why I can't go to school today?'
'Prof. Snape, I'm sorry I missed your class. My girlfriend, I mean, my EX- girlfriend broke my heart into pieces. Is that what you'll be telling him? You know that Snape's mental!' Lee said, rolling his eyes. 'Look, Fred. You are one of the bravest people that I have ever met. You can't let her see you like this. Go out and find someone for yourself too.'
'Yeah! We will help you!' George said. 'Now, get off your bed and get ready for school.' ============
'A FEW ANNOUNCEMENT BEFORE BREAKFAST,' Dumbledore said. 'I will be away for a whole week for a meeting with the Ministry of Magic, and Prof. Mcgonagall will be away for three days to represent me in a meeting in Scotland. For your Transfiguration Classes, a substitute teacher will be assigned in each grade level. Please treat your substitute teacher the way you treat Professor Mcgonagall. That is all and Thank you. You may begin!'
They all started eating when a grey owl flew towards Hermione, and then dropped a package on her hand.
'OH! It's from Mum and Dad!' she said, looking extremely excited. She read the card first and then opened the package excitedly.
'I bet that it is a book!' Ron said to Harry, chuckling.
'Oh, no! It's a discman! Cool gift, Hermione!' Harry said. 'Which CD's do you have?'
'Well, I broke my old one last summer. I'm so glad that they were listening to me the whole time! I only have Kylie Minogue with me right now. I could ask my parents to send them over if you really want to see them.'
'Hermione? What's that?' Ron asked, looking quite interested. 'Would you mind if I look at it?'
'Well, I thought that you didn't want to talk to me ever again.'
'Ok. fine. if you don't want to.' he said, looking down on his plate. 'I was just.'
'I was kidding! I'm glad that you broke your word again!' she said, looking happy. 'It's a Discman. You see this flat circle? It has music recorded in it. You press this button to open this. You put the flat circle, CD or Compact Disc, in it and then you close it and then you press "PLAY". As soon as you do that, music will start playing.' She handed it to him, so he can try.
'Oh, how come I don't hear anything?'
'Because you have to put the Earphones here,' then Hermione placed the earphones on Ron's ears and smiled at him.
'WICKED!' said Ron, smiling to Hermione. 'Who is this?'
'Kylie Minogue, one of my favourite singers. You like her?'
'Yeah, she's alright! Nice music. Mind if I borrow it sometime?' 'Sure! No Problem! I'll ask my mum to send me more CD's so we can listen to more varieties of music!'
'That would be great Hermione!' Ron said, looking excited. Harry just stared at the two of them while they were talking and then smiled teasingly at Ron, as soon as Hermione had left the table.
'What the hell? Why are you smiling at me like that?'
'Nothing, nothing, nothing.' was Harry's reply and quickly gathered his things. 'Ron! we are going to be late you prat!' =============
'There will be an oral recitation today! It is going to be an 'ALL or NOTHING' test.' Snape said coolly. 'It's either you get 100% or 0%!'
'Shit! Good thing we woke you up!' George said, looking irritated since there is a surprise recitation test. 'You would have had, immediately, received a Zero!'
'I know that I'll be getting a Zero anyway. you should have let me sleep in!' Fred hissed.
'Weasley and Weasley! I'm taking away 5 pts. From Gryffindor for silly discussions!' Snape yelled. Everybody looked and Fred saw Nick LeGrand smirk. 'For our first pair..'
'Thank you God for making it into pairs!!!' Fred said to himself, looking a little relieved. 'At least someone can help me out. I hope that that person went over our notes..'
'For our first pair, Weasley, and.. Johnson,' said Snape. Everybody looked at the Weasley twins then to Angelina Johnson. Fred buried his face in his hands while Angelina looked at Snape with an indescribable expression. Fred looked at Angelina and when they caught each others gaze, they both immediately looked away.
'Well? What are you two doing? Do you want to get an automatic Zero?' George stood up in an attempt to save his brother. Snape just said "Weasley and Johnson," anyway.
'Which Weasley, sir?' Angelina asked.
'Oh yeah! There's two here. I want Weasley, F. Yes. I want Weasley, F. Now, hurry up!' Fred looked at George helplessly while George slowly sat down.
'I'll kill you later, George.' He hissed and then hurried up.
'Well, come here in front! Hurry! I don't have all day! Weasley, ask Johnson where the ingredients of a Love Potion can be found and what they are, while you, Johnson, ask Weasley how to make a Love Potion. Begin!' They both took a deep breath and began.
'Hey - er - Angelina! Would you mind telling me the ingredients of a love potion and where they can be found?' Fred asked, politely. 'I need - er - to make some for a certain girl,' he said and then nearly slapped himself for saying that. Lee and George winced.
'Oh, of course Fred! Um, you will need Frozen Ashwinder Eggs,' she said, and continued with other ingredients. After Angelina, Fred described how to make a love potion which was really easy for him since he has been reading about Love Potions right after their break up. Snape was utterly amazed. 'That is the final step in mixing a Love Potion.' He concluded.
'Good, Weasley and Johnson,' said Snape, sarcastically. 'I can't believe it! Finally, after all these years. Weasley will finally receive a 100% mark and not a Zero. for the first time in 7 yrs.' Fred just rolled his eyes. ===========
After their break up, Fred never saw her alone. She was always with Katie and/or Alicia, or other girls from her classes, or Nick LeGrand. This annoyed and irritated him terribly. He hated him more than anything and anybody in the whole wide world. He's such an arrogant perfectionist. He's a moron. He's everything that he is not. He hated everything about that person, Nick LeGrand.
'Look Fred, be reasonable! If the girl doesn't want to be with you, so be it!' Lee said, rolling his eyes. 'I'm not going to stand here and encourage you to do something that I know will hurt you more! Live life like you used too! Don't let her see how miserable you are! Will you at least pretend?'
'Look, Lee! I know what you mean!'
'No, you don't!' he snapped back. 'That thick head of yours is malfunctioning, that's why!'
'But you don't understand!' Fred whined. 'She's my first serious girlfriend! You have no idea ---' but he was interrupted by George's loud voice.
'You have no idea about Quidditch?!'
'What the hell are you talking about?' Fred asked, looking confused by the sudden shifting of the topic. 'What the hell is wrong with you, George?' But George ignored him.
'So, what did Madam Hooch say?' George asked, looking casual. Then he heard the most beautiful voice that he has ever heard, the voice of his one and only angel, Angelina Johnson.
'Hi! She told me that we can practice for Quidditch later, 4:30 pm sharp!' Fred jumped back and then quickly faced her.
'Angelina!'
'I'm so sorry I startled you Fred!' she said, smiling. Fred saw a pair of strong arms wrap around his angel's waist, which made Angelina look uncomfortable. He frowned upon the sight of Nick LeGrand's face.
'Hey, Weasley!' he said, mockingly and sarcastically. 'How's the love potion going?' Fred just stared at him straight in the eye and then walked away. George and Lee immediately followed.
'Is that a blood relative of the Malfoy's?' Lee asked George in a whisper. 'He sure looks and behaves like one!' ===========
Their substitute teacher for Transfiguration was late, so they all started talking.
'I hope that it's not Snape!' Lee said then they heard the door open.
''Hello, Hello! Good afternoon everybody!' came a soft but firm voice. She started walking down the aisle. 'I'm deeply sorry for being late.' Fred couldn't believe it. His ex-girlfriend is their substitute teacher.
'What the hell! This is unbelievable!' George said, looking amazed. 'People appear just when you need them the most! It's Amelie, Fred!'
'Looking good, Amelie!' Lee shouted. Katie looked at him with a puzzled expression, and then mouthed, 'You know this girl???'
'Hello, Lee and George! You don't look too bad, yourself!' she said and then turned to the other redhead beside George. 'Hello, Fred! It' been what, 3 yrs.?' Fred just stared at her and thought that she has changed a lot.
'Hey, Amelie! I mean - er - Prof. Chandler.' Fred said, uncomfortably but he managed to smile. Oh! This is too much for me! Not two ex in the same class! =============
'Harry! Ron! Stop goofing around!' Fred yelled. 'We have a game next month against Hufflepuffs! WE - HAVE - TO - WIN!!!!!! This is our last year!'
'Wow! I thought that I heard Wood talking!' George said. 'Calm down, buddy!'
After hours of practice, they decided to stop. Fred then started reminding them about things, since he is the new Gryffindor Captain, after Wood.
'Umm - er - Angel, I mean, Angelina,' he said, nearly slapping himself for calling him "Angel". 'Katie and Alicia, I want you all to go to the nearest beater, every time you score. This is for your own safety.'
'Alright!' they all said. They all sat down and started talking. Even Angelina and Fred started laughing and talking together. For Fred, this was probably the best time that they have ever spent, after their break up, together. This is totally perfect! No Nick LeGrand! But then he snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing a very familiar noise.
'Hey, Angelina!' Nick shouted. 'Let's go! It's almost dinner! We still have to study!'
'Hey! I'll be right there!' she said while smiling. Fred stood up and then shot Nick LeGrand an evil glare, but he smiled at Angelina. 'I have to---'
'So, Fred?' said Harry, teasingly. 'Are you jealous?'
Fred couldn't believe what Harry just said. Did he just say the "J" word?! He glared at Harry and said, 'ABSOLUTELY NOT!' Angelina left and she started to hug LeGrand. Something inside began to hurt again. He looked at Harry, who was looking uncomfortable.
'What the hell?! Why did you say that?! You knew very well what I'm feeling right now!'
'Hey, hey, hey! Calm down! I only did it - because---' Harry said, defensively. 'Angelina asked me too.'
'What?!' Fred asked. 'She asked you to tease me?! She did?' She asked Harry to tease me? Wow! 'I don't care! You still have no right to do that! You should be on my side!' He then turned to George and carried on chatting, with a bit of grin on his face. ===========
Fred was feeling good that evening. Angelina wanted Harry to tease him with Angelina, he thought over and over again. He felt good. He was joking with other people again and doing his pranks again. This made Lee and George feel good.
'He's back!' George whispered. Lee just smiled at the sight of Fred's beaming face.
'Password?' The fat lady asked. 'You look happy Weasley!' They all said the password and smiled at the fat lady. Their jaw dropped upon seeing Hermione and Ron listening, dancing and singing to music together. They were singing a love song! Luckily, Colin Creevey and Harry entered the room almost the same time they did and he had a camera! They all silently watched the two lovebirds, while snickering.
'Especially for you, I want to let you know what I was going through. All the time we were apart I thought of you. You were in my heart, my love never changed. I still feel the same.' Hermione sang, with feelings while her arms were around Ron's neck and they were swaying.
'Especially for you, I want to tell you I was feeling that way too. And if dreams were wings you know, I would have flown to you, to be where you are.' Ron sang, with feeling as well while his arms were around Hermione's waist and they were swaying.
'Ohh no matter how far, now that I'm next to you.'
'No more dreaming about tomorrow. Forget the loneliness and the sorrow.'
'I've got to say---'
'It's all because of you and now we are back together, together. I want to show you, my heart is oh so true. And all the love I have is especially for you.' They sang together.
'Especially for you, I want to tell you, you mean all the world to me.' Hermione sang.
'How I'm certain that our love was meant to be. You changed my life.' Ron sang.
'Hmm, you showed me the way. And now that I'm next to you.'
'I've waited long enough to find you. I want to put all the hurt behind you.'
'I want to bring out all the love inside you.'
'Oh and now were back together, together. I want to show, my heart is oh so true. And all the love I have is especially for you.' They sang together again. INSTUMENTAL.
When they heard the fat lady say, "Password". They immediately panicked. They didn't want to disturb Ron and Hermione. This sight is too enjoyable. They didn't want it to end, right away, especially Harry. When the door opened, Fred grabbed the first girl that he saw and covered her mouth. Harry, Colin, Lee and George did the same. The girls struggled at first but calmed down when they pointed in Ron and Hermione's direction. They all just stood there watching them dancing and singing. They felt so comfortable with each other. Fred let go of the girl that he grabbed and swallowed hard upon seeing Angelina's face, and then looked away.
'Awww..' Was all the girls managed to say. 'How sweet!'
Ron leaned over to kiss her and was just a few cm's away from Hermione's face, when he began to frown. He looked puzzled while staring at Hermione. He began to stutter and then looked away.
'Oh, Oh! He's realizing it!' George said. 'Quick! Do something!'
'Hermione, I - I - don't remember---' he said while stepping away from her and blushing. Hermione was blushing too but looked a little upset when Ron broke their contact.
'So, what was that?' Fred asked, teasingly. 'Don't you dare act innocent or something, Ron! WE - ALL - SAW - IT!'
'Yeah!' they said then Harry, Colin, Lee, George, Ginny, Katie, Angelina, Alicia, Lavender and Parvati appeared. Ron didn't know what to say, neither did Hermione. This was a very odd moment. They were both blushing.
'What's wrong with that? We were just listening to music and---' Ron said, defensively.
'And was about to snog!' George said.
'No! Of course not! We didn't!'
'Sure! We have proofs!' Harry said.
'Not you too, Harry!' Fred grabbed the nearest girl to him again, which was Angelina, and then started to imitate Ron. Angelina imitated Hermione.
'Especially for you, I want to let you know what I was going through. All the time we were apart I thought of you. You were in my heart, my love never changed. I still feel the same.' Angelina sang while placing her arms around Fred's neck and was swaying.
'Especially for you, I want to tell you I was feeling that way too. And if dreams were wings you know, I would have flown to you, to be where you are.' Fred sang, with feelings as well while his arms were around Angelina's waist and they were swaying.
'Ohh no matter how far, now that I'm next to you.'
'No more dreaming about tomorrow. Forget the loneliness and the sorrow.'
'I've got to say---'
'It's all because of you and now we are back together, together. I want to show you, my heart is oh so true. And all the love I have is especially for you.' They sang together.
'Especially for you, I want to tell you, you mean all the world to me.' Angelina sang.
'How I'm certain that our love was meant to be. You changed my life.' Fred sang.
'Hmm, you showed me the way. And now that I'm next to you.'
'I've waited long enough to find you. I want to put all the hurt behind you.'
'I want to bring out all the love inside you.'
'Oh and now were back together, together. I want to show, my heart is oh so true. And all the love I have is especially for you.' They sang together again. INSTUMENTAL
Fred leaned over to kiss her and was just a few cm's from Angelina's face, when he began to frown. Upon realizing what he just did, memories began hunting him again. He stared at her, looking puzzled. Angelina, who looked a little upset when he let go of her, just stared back at him. He slowly walked away and sat on the couch in front of the fireplace. Angelina just stood there and then walked towards the girls' staircase. Fred looked down and then looked at her in the corner of his eyes. She looked at him, too, before going up to her room. Everybody was silent.
'This song is good!' Lee said.
'Yep!' George said. 'Two pairs in one night!'
