~Chapter 3~The Map
"Wow Fred!" Katie joked. "I knew you loved me, but isn't this a little much?"
"Oh, ya baby," Fred returned the joke. "I want you."
"I know you do," Katie winked. She kissed his cheek and looked at a broom and a crate. "What did you want to show me?"
"Well," Fred said, sitting down on the crate. (I think u should get it...)
"EW," Katie laughed walking to the door.
"Oh, you know I was kidding," Fred said. "Look what I found."
Katie
looked down
beside Fred
and saw an old
piece of
parchment.
"A map," Katie said dully. "Woopdy Doo!"
"No! Look at it closer!" Fred demanded.
"Sheesh," Katie said. She looked at it and gasped. "It tells us where all of You-Know-Who's supporters are!"
"I know! Malfoy and his gang were walking to the Great Hall and I found this," Fred pointed to the map.
"Did you show George?" Katie asked him.
"Yeah," Fred answered studying the map. "He went up to the dormitory to prepare something."
"Uh-oh," Katie joked.
"You have no idea," Fred replied, he sounded a bit nervous.
"Wow, this really can't be good," Katie said.
"Oh, it's nothing," Fred said about to put the map away when something caught his eye. "Look!"
He shoved it under Katie's nose and Katie glanced at it annoyed. "Uh...Fred...what am I looking at?"
"He's gone!" Fred shouted looking back at the map.
"You're a nutter," Katie said shaking her head. "As if it's news, though."
"Hey! I saw a guy named Karachesd and he was on here! He was right by the Whomping Willow!" Fred replied.
"I believe you," Katie laughed and coughed.
"Katie?" Fred asked.
"Yes?" Katie asked turning to
face him.
"Will, you, uh, you know, maybe-," Fred babbled.
"Spit it out!" Katie shouted, hitting the back of his head.
"Will you go out with me?" Fred blurted.
Katie stared at him for a second, wondering if he was serious. When he blushed, Katie realized he WAS serious.
"I'd love to," Katie replied, smiling.
Fred beamed. Katie blushed, realizing how happy she made him. Fred slowly walked over and put his hand on Katie's hips. Katie put her hands around his neck and Fred leaned in. They kissed. It was a GOOD kiss...;) Fred opened the door, gestured Katie out, and they walked to the Common Room.
When they walked in, Katie playfully hit Fred on the shoulder. "Preparing something?"
Fred smirked.
The room had a giant sign that was bewitched to change colors every millisecond. George and a few other Gryffindor's counting Ron and Harry, who looked utterly mad, Ginny and Hermione who beamed at Katie and all the boys in Ron and Harry's dormitory. There was food on a long table. There was a cake that looked unmistakingly like a wedding cake. The little figurines on top were Katie and Fred holding hands, blowing kisses to everyone in the room.
"How'd you know I'd say yes?" Katie asked him amused.
"Please! I'm Fred!" Fred answered picking up a Chocolate Frog.
Katie went over to a corner with Ginny, Hermione, Parvati, and Lavender. Katie told them everything and all the girls giggled throughout her story in just the right places.
"What do you s' pose they're talking about?" Fred asked all the guys in another corner.
"The Kiss," the guys answered at once. "That's the only thing that can make girls giggle that much," Dean chuckled. The guy stared at the girls, watching them giggle.
"Well, she's telling them," George smirked. "So, it's your duty to tell us."
"Really want to know?" Fred smiled.
The other guys nodded eagerly, except Harry and Ron who acted as if they're feet were miracles.
"OK, I pulled her into the closet and showed her the map," Fred began. Fred told the whole story.
"Excellent," Seamus muttered to himself.
"I could learn a thing or two from you!" Neville piped up.
"Right you are! Now, I'm going over to see my girl," Fred smoothly got up and wrapped his arms around Katie. The girls giggled and Fred winked. All the girls started whispering to each other and Fred led Katie to a chair by the fire. Katie sat on his lap and they just sat there in silence.
"Worried mate?" Ron asked George, watching the two lovebirds with a look of disgust.
"Worried about what?" George asked him suspiciously.
"With Fred with a girlfriend, he won't want to do as many pranks or work on as many jokes, because he'll be spending it with her," Ron gestured to Katie.
"Nice try little bro," George laughed. "I'm not going to try to break them up."
Ron looked disgruntled and Harry shrugged. Hermione rolled her eyes and hit them in the stomach. "Oh! Give her up! Be happy for her and YOUR brother!" Hermione said, pointing at Ron.
A few hours later, the party ended and Ron and Harry seemed a bit happier.
"So you coming to my dormitory or yours?" Fred asked.
"I'll take mine thanks," Katie laughed.
Fred smiled, gave Katie a kiss, and went to his dormitory. Katie smiled to herself as she walked to her own dormitory. "I heard about you and Fred," Katie's friend, Erica, smiled. "It's all over the school."
"Isn't he the best?" Katie asked dreamily.
"Ya, well, none of the boys seem to think so anymore. Katie, face it. All the guys want you and all the girls want to be you," Erica said rolling her eyes.
"Look at you! Dating Lee Jordan! Big points there," Katie said, trying to make a point, blushing all the same.
"LOOK AT YOU!" Erica laughed. "Your one of the best chasers on the Gryffindor team(Katie is not Katie Bell...Just to let yall know). You have Fred as your boyfriend, one of the most popular guys in the school, and you get good marks."
"Lee is popular and your good at school! You beat me in Potions, and it's SNAPE," Katie declared.
"Whatever," Erica laughed lying down.
"Night!" Katie sang as she jumped into bed.
"Night," Erica sais before closing her bed hangings.
They soon fell asleep. The next morning, Katie and Erica and Ginny walked to breakfast together.
"Hello pudding'," George joked, putting his arms around Katie.
"Wow, Fred," Katie went along with the joke. "You're a lot stronger than before. And hotter. And you smell better too!"
"Please, no one looks better than me," Fred joked, pushing George away and wrapping his arms around Katie. "Not even this imposter who says he's my twin."
"Your just jealous 'cause I'm prettier," George joked in a girly voice.
"Sorry to break this little fight thing, or whatever it is, but I have to go to Double Potions," Katie said finishing her toast.
"Us too," Fred said, coming back to reality.
"Me too," Erica said getting up. Everybody went to their separate classes and Katie sat in the middle of Fred and Erica while George sat by Lee and Katie Bell.(2 be honest, I have no clue if she's even in that grade and I changed my mind, Katie and Erica are in Fred and George's grade. LoL...SRY!)
"Today we will be learning how to make a love potion. If it were up to me, we would be learning how to make truth potions, or sleeping potions. In other words, useful potions. But it's going to be on N.E.W.T's so, therefore, I have to teach you. The directions are on the board and the ingredients are in the cupboard. Get to work." Snape walked around examine the students work.
"Oops! Erica! Was I supposed to add Eye of an Owl? Or eye of a snake?" Katie asked.
"Eye of a dragon!" Erica laughed.
"That explains the weird smell and why my potion is puke green," Katie said sadly.
"O! Let me fix it!" Erica threw up her hands as if she were giving up. Her potion was done and it was fiery red.

"Can you
help me
too?"
Fred
asked
desperate
ly.
"Mines
starting
to
evaporate
!"
"You two are hopeless!" Erica shouted, but not loud enough for Snape to hear, while frantically stirring and adding ingredients to both potions. "Katie, can you hand me the unicorn hair? That's a dragon scale! ARGH!"
"Miss Rhodes, Tatoian. Mr. Weasley?" Snape's voice asked from behind them. They all froze. "What's going on here?"
"We're knitting a sweater, sir," Fred replied with a straight face. The Gryffindor's in the class snickered, while the Slytherin's sneered.
"Twenty points from Gryffindor. What's going on here?" Snape repeated.
"I was just helping, a little, with their potion," Erica replied looking at it.
"Well, since you seem so keen that your potion is good enough you can help others, let's just have a little test, shall we?" Snape smirked.
"Sir, I don't understand," Erica answered.
"We're going to have you test your potion. IF it's successful, boys will be throwing themselves at you, if it's not successful, which I don't doubt it won't be, you will find that all the boys hate you," Snape informed them, filling a small cup.
"Professor, sir," Katie asked warily.
"Yes Miss Rhodes," Snape asked coldly.
"Will, I mean, will you fall in love with her too?" Katie asked blushing.
"I AM BEYOND LOVE POTIONS!" Snape shouted, clearly outraged at this statement. Many students snickered.
Erica reluctantly brought the potion to her lips. On the side of her, Fred started to get up.
"Move!" Fred demanded at Katie.
"Excuse you!" Katie shouted back.
"Erica! Snookums! Come here!," boys were crying throughout the room. Including Fred. Katie saw how mad the other girls looked who's boyfriends were fawning over Erica. Katie decided to sit down and relax. It was just a stupid potion. That is...until Katie saw Fred start to passionately kiss Erica.
