The next morning, Fred and I were, as usual, the last ones out of the Gryffindor common room.
It was the first day of my plan. I have told Alicia and Katie, the night before, the whole thing, and I guess they weren't surprised when Fred and I walked into the Great Hall, hand-in-hand.
I guessed Katie had told Oliver because he didn't act to surprised either, but you should have seen the looks on George and Lee's faces.
"So, are you two an um, couple now?" George asked nervously as we sat down. "Yup," I say, smiling secretly at Fred.
The whole week went on like that.
Whenever George and/or Lee saw us, they became terribly irritated.
At the end of the week, we had a Hogsmeade trip, which started school vacation week.
Hogsmeade didn't go that bad, considering I spent the whole day with Fred. We went to the quidditch and joke shop, and the Three Broomsticks for lunch.
When Lee and George saw us together, Fred bought me a flower. He really is acting the part well. George and Lee's faces were priceless when he handed me the flower.
For the rest of the day we walked around and talked. We were sure not to miss Honeydukes, where we bought bags of candy. I was actually kind of sad when the day was over, which surprised me.
After dinner, back at Hogwarts, I asked Katie how her day, or should I say date, went with Oliver. All she said in reply was, "A day that will never be forgotten."
I knew she was really happy to finally have Oliver. Now if I could only find that perfect guy.
Fred and I chatted on the couch for a while, and then we decided we better go off to bed.
"So, Ang, are you going to the ball with anyone yet?" Alicia asked as I settled into my bed. "Nope, you?" I respond. "I'm going with Oliver," Katie says excitedly. "I'm going with Cody Rukes. He's a Ravenclaw 6th year," Alicia said, also excited.
At that moment I felt a bit secluded. I didn't really like anyone, and I didn't think anyone liked me. I knew if anyone asked me, it would be Fred, and he'd only be going with me to trick George and Lee.
As the week leading up to the ball went on, I began to think not even Fred would ask me.
One night, as I was chatting to Alicia by the fire about me not going to the ball with anyone, we heard someone yell, "Oi! Angelina!" "What?" I replied as a reflex.
As I turned, I noticed it was Fred. I also noticed George's face growing pale. "Want to come to the ball with me?" Fred asked.
I wanted to say it's about time he asked me. But I didn't, instead I said, "All right, then."
As I said this George looked as if he was about to throw-up and faint.
I continued my chat with Alicia, which was now about what dress robes we were going to wear, with a smile.
