Seriously, I Love You
Disclaimer: My life sucks so, naturally, I own nothing. J.K. Rowling owns everything. I only own the plot and the original character named Britney, who isn't really that original. I based her on Britney Spears (that whore.) Even though I should have named her Cristina (Aguilera.) Tee-hee!
P.S.- Sorry to all of the Britney and Cristina fans! It's just my opinion! Please don't hate me!!!

Chapter 8: Confrontation
For the next week, Fred and Angelina were trying hard not to be in the same room. This was impossible in classes, but other then that, they stayed far apart. They sat on opposite ends of the Gryffindor table, and never looked in the other's direction. This distance not only hurt Fred and Angelina's relationship, it hurt George and Katie's. Katie was Angelina's best friend, and stayed with her at all times. The same was for George and Fred. This sudden distance between Katie and her boyfriend was beginning to get to Katie.
"Where are you going?" Angelina asked, when she noticed that Katie was getting up from the table at dinner.
"Ummm. well. I was kind of hoping I could go talk to George for a while." Katie said. Angelina looked mad, so Katie added, "I haven't seen him in days!"
"Fine." Angelina said, Katie smiled. "But we are going to study potions tonight in the common room right?" she added. Katie nodded her head, said a quick 'thank you', and rushed over to the other end of the table.
Katie kept her promise, and studied with Angelina that night. The girls studied for hours, but still couldn't seem to remember the information.
"How many uses does dragons blood have?" Angelina asked her friend.
"Ummm. 5?" Katie guessed. Angelina shook her head, and Katie said, "No that's unicorn blood. ummm.. Oh I don't know. This is so stupid, I don't need to know this. No matter how sick I am, I am never going to drink some lizards blood!"
"There are 13, and we do need to know this. It's going to be on the test tomorrow." Angelina said.
"I'm going to bed. I'll study more in the morning." Katie said. She went upstairs and Angelina sat on the couch trying to study. But no matter how hard she tried to concentrate, her mind kept on wandering.
'This is pointless. I'm not even paying attention. I might as well just go to bed.' Angelina decided. She closed her book and started to pack up her book bag. She thought that she was the only one in the common room, but when she started to walk toward the stairs, someone stopped her. Fred was standing in front of the staircase, and didn't look like he was going to move.
"Fred, move. I'm going to bed." Angelina said.
"No. This is the first time we have talked in weeks. I don't like having to avoid you Angelina." Fred said seriously.
"I don't like avoiding you either." Angelina confessed.
"Then why can't we just be friends again."
"It's not that simple Fred."
"Angie, I'm sorry for not telling you about me and Britney, okay? It's not like you don't keep secrets from me."
"Don't try to turn this on me Fred! You're the one that messed up! And, besides, I would never keep a secret this big from you."
"I was going to tell you, ya know."
"Oh really? When?! After the baby was already born? You had the perfect chance to tell me when I asked if anything happened between you two. But you blew it! You lied to my face!" Angelina screamed, tears forming in her eyes. 'Don't let him see you cry. Not again. Stay strong.' She told herself. "And it's not just that." She added. "You kept a secret from me. A big secret! But you told Britney everything. That is what kills me Fred! You trust her more then me." Angelina couldn't hold them back anymore. The tears she had held back for more then a week were flowing down her face.
"Angie, it's not that I don't trust you. I do trust you, I love you." Fred said softly, wiping away one of her tears with his thumb.
"I can't believe anything you tell me anymore." Angelina said, backing away from him.
Fred looked down at the ground and said, "Were breaking up, aren't we."
Angelina nodded and said, "I just can't handle all this right now. It's just too complicated."
"Bull shit." Fred said under his breath.
"Excuse me?"
"I said that's bull shit Angelina." Fred said, finally looking in her eyes. "I love you and I know that you love me. Your just running because things aren't perfect. I messed up, okay? I know that. Britney might be pregnant with my baby. And that puts a little glitch in your perfect life, so your bailing."
"I am scared Fred, but that's not why I'm breaking up with you. I don't want to date someone I can't trust. I want to trust you Fred, but I can't. Not after this."
"How can I get you to trust me again?"
Angelina paused, then said, "Be a good father." Walking around Fred, Angelina went to bed.
"You have to eat something Ang." Katie said at breakfast the next day. Angelina just shook her head. "What happened last night?"
"I broke up with Fred." Angelina said quietly, trying not to cry.
Katie hugged her and said, "I'm sorry sweetie."
"It's fine. I'm fine. It was for the best anyway." Angelina said. Katie didn't look convinced so she added, "Really, this breakup was a good thing. Now I can be happy again."
"Hun, if it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?" Katie asked, seeing right through Angelina's act. Angelina just looked away, not wanting Katie to see the tears in her eyes.
The last class of the day for Gryffindor seventh years was History of Magic. This was quite a disappointment because the teacher, Professor Binns, was extremely boring. But this class would end up being more interesting then everyone thought.
Professor Binns was rambling on and on about something boring, of course, as the class sat there. Some students were sleeping, others just staring into space, paralyzed by boredom. Angelina, on the other hand, was writing a note to Katie.
Katie, do you know what page were on?
Ang, I don't even know what book were in.
Oh thanks, that helps a lot.
Hey, if you don't mind me asking, when are you ever going to stop being so stubborn, and just make up with Fred?
Yes Katie, I do mind you asking.
Come on Ang. Fred said that he was sorry, and it's not like you can fix what happened.
Katie, would you shut up, I'm trying to listen to Professor Binns.
Coward.
Bitch.
Slut.
Frigid hoe
But Katie never saw this final insult. Instead of giving the paper back to Katie, Angelina crumbled it up and threw it behind her. The happy memory of the 'frigid hoe' incident was too painful for her.
Angelina turned her attention to Professor Binns (for once), and figured out that they were talking about treaties (woo-whoo.) She was busy taking notes when she heard someone behind her.
"Umm, excuse me professor Binns? I have a question." Fred said. Everyone, along with the professor, turned around to look at the first person to ask a question in History of Magic for years.
"You have a what?" The professor asked, utterly confused.
"A question sir. It's what people ask if they don't understand what another person has said." Fred tried to explain, the professor still looking puzzled. "One usually asks a question in a classroom. The teacher, that being you, professor, has been known to answer these questions."
"Yes, alright. what is your question about?"
"The treaties sir. The one between England and France. You know, the things that you were just explaining." Fred said slowly. Angelina couldn't help but smile at how lost the professor looked. "I was just wondering; If England had lied to France about, say, who their allies were or something. Even if England apologized about the lie, would France still be mad, and not sign the treaty?" Fred asked, looking at Angelina. (sounds oddly familiar, doesn't it?)
Angelina couldn't believe that Fred was involving the rest of the school in their business. She quickly raised her hand before the professor could answer.
"I think that France wouldn't sign the treaty, because she- I mean it felt betrayed."
"But everyone makes mistakes." Fred retaliated. "Even if England said that it was sorry?"
"France wouldn't believe it. England could be lying. How does France know if England was really sorry?"
"Because England loves France, and would never do anything to hurt it."
"Well England should have thought about that when it hooked up with Britney."
"We weren't going out then Ang. I didn't think that you liked me."
"But, regardless, you shouldn't have had sex! You should have thought about how much it would change your life if she had a baby."
"I should have done a lot of things Angie, but I can't change how stupid I was in the past. All I can do is hope that you forgive me, and try not to mess up again."
"Try really hard." Angelina said, a smile on her face.
"I need you Angie. I will die before I lose you."
Angelina had heard enough. She stood up, and walked over to Fred's desk. She bent down, her face inches from his. "I need you too." She whispered, and, leaning a few inches closer, she kissed him for the first time in a month. From the moment their lips touched, Angelina knew that everything was going to be okay.

A/N: I hope that you could follow that whole England/France thing. Don't you just love how things can be shitty one minute, and heaven the next? I do!!! PLEASE REVIEW!!
Things to ponder: Is Britney pregnant? Will Angelina stay by Fred's side, or will she get cold feet again? Will I ever run out of ideas for this story? Will I ever shut up?
BTW; Katie's line, "If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?" is from a Sheryl Crow song that I love. It's called 'If It Makes You Happy'. Sorry, I just couldn't resist putting it in the story!!!
