A/N: Just thought I'd try a Angelina and Fred story. I was bored and had writer's block. What can I say? Just review.

Chapter One: Love Potions Gone Bad

I finally decided to do it. One way or another I was going to make Angelina Johnson mine. And she'd take me seriously for a change.

I wasn't going to be just Fred Weasley, twin brother of George and trouble maker extraordinare. No. I was going to be Fred, a sauve and desireable gentleman all the girls would want. But I'd only pick one.

I'd finally found the perfect spell that didn't have any chance of backfiring. It was a simple potion that made the receiver fall head over heels with the first person of the opposite sex they see.

All I had to do was give it to her while no one else was around. Easy enough if I could just get Alicia Spinnet away from her for TWO minutes.

I was walking to the Great Hall, thinking of who I could bribe to do just that when I saw Angelina just ahead of me. My heart began beating rather noisely in my chest. It's JUST Angelina, I told myself. You've known her for years. She's your FRIEND.

I ran to catch up to her. She turned as I fell into step with her.

Angelina's eyes were bright and she smiled. "Hello, Fred. Fancy meeting you here. Near food."

I swallowed and coughed out a laugh. "Yeah. Food."

Her forehead creased into a frown. "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing!" I said quickly. "I mean, I'm fine. Where's Alicia?"

Her eyes went dark with something I couldn't palce, but it disappeared when she smiled. "Haven't seen her since Quidditch practice. I think she was with George."

I sighed with relief and let her walk through the Great Hall in front of me. Finally alone with her.

Everyone had already started eating, so Angelina sat down next to my sister Ginny and I sat across from them.

Gin winked at me and nodded. She was the only one who know what I was going to do. She had walked in on me making the potion, so I had no choice but to tell her my story. She thought it was very romantic and offered to help distract Angelina.

"Angelina, I need your help," Gin pleaded. Great acting skills she has.

Angel looked at Ginny in surprise. "What is it, Gin?"

Ginny glared at me. "It's girls stuff," she huffed. She made sure Angelina was facing her before whispering in her ear. Gin purposely picked Angel's right ear so she couldn't see what I was going to do.

I picked up Angelina's glass of pumpkin juice and looked around carefully, before pulling a liquid clear vile out of my pocket. I was just setting the cup down when the girls were finishing their talk.

Ginny was looking ver smug and Angelina's face was red. She wouldn't look at me as she reached for her glass. I held my breath as I watched her take a drink.

"Angel," I began.

Her head was turning to me and our eyes were about to meet when-

"Fred! There you are!" George said loudly, plopping down next to me. "I have a great idea for some new candy."

I watched helplessly as Angelina's dark eyes settled on my twin. Her eyes glazed over and she got this goofy look on her face. "Hi, George," she said, her voice sounding odd. It was a mixture of awe and confususion.

Ginny's mouth was opened wide and George glanced at Angelina, waving carelessly at her. "Hi, Angel."

I thumped my head on the table. I ruined it! And I didn't have an antidote. George was still talking to me, oblivious to my state. How could I help him make a new gag candy when I couldn't even deal with simple love potion?

A nice black hole seemed a good place to crawl into for awhile.
