"That night was short," Katie said sadly as she plopped onto her bed after changing. "I know, it really was" I agree straightening my hair with my wand then throwing it up into a messy bun.

"Angelina, is there something you're not telling us?" Alicia asked slyly.

"What? OH, no, nothing," I quickly lied. I couldn't hold it in any longer, "I…I" I start, but Katie cuts in.

"Ang, you can't."

"Can't what?" Alicia asks.

"I do, and I can't help it, I reply.

"But that wasn't how this was supposed to end," Katie responded.

"What was supposed to end?" Alicia asks really confused.

"I know, but I told you, I can't help it." I say, covering my face with my pillow.

"Can't help what? You guys! Let me in.!" Alicia demanded.

"Fine, but in the common room." Katie agrees.

"Why, there's nobody up here." I say. "Oh, but there will be in 5…4…3…2…1…" When Katie finished, the door burst open, and a bunch of giggling girls walk in.

"Okay, let's go," I agree. Once settled on the couch, Katie said to Alicia, "Okay, it turns out our little Angelina has done the impossible."

"What, she's stopped liking quidditch?" Alicia asks.

"NO way!" I cut in. "As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted," Katie says jokingly, ""Ang here fancies someone, and not just anyone, but none other than the famous..."

"Roger Davis? Cedric Diggory? Viktor Krum?" "NO!" I say irritated,

"NO," Katie restarts, "The famous Fred Weasley." Alicia's jaw must have dropped ten feet. I went unbelievably red at this point.

Boys Dormitory

"So, how did you night go?" Fred asked George up in their dormitory.

"Eh, can't complain," George shrugged. "You? Oh, why do I even ask? You went with Angelina of course it went perfect."

"I guess," Fred replied. "If only it were for real."

"What do you mean?" George asked intently.

Fred sighed and said, "George don't take this the wrong way." He paused, took a deep breath, then explained all of Angelina's plan, and why she did it.

He finished by saying, "But, it's over now, you can start liking her if you wish."

"Lee and I decided to forget about her. She was never going to like us. Lee fancies the girl he went to the ball with, and as for me. I think I'll try do go out with Alicia Spinnet, but I think I'll try a new approach." George replied.

"Good idea. I think I'm gonna head down to the common just to think for a little while, okay?" Fred asked.

"Yup, fine with me." George said as Fred walked out of the dormitory.

Back in the common room, Alicia and Katie were describing how their night went.

Just then, Fred came thumping down the stairs, and threw himself onto the couch. Alicia, Katie, and I stared at him with a surprised expression. He finally, looked up and exclaimed, "Whoa! How did you three get there?"

"We've been here," Katie responds calmly. "Katie, we have some um… unattended business to attend to," Alicia says, pulling Katie up to the girl's dorms.

At first, Fred and I just sat there in silence. Then we both started "Fred I um…" "Ang.. I think we should talk…um…"

"You first," I say to him. "No, you." He argues.

I give him my puppy- dog pout, and he finally gives in.

"Okay, well," he started slowly, but then it all rushed out. "I was just talking to George, and although he said he was over you, I could tell he really wasn't. I just couldn't lie, so I told him your whole scheme. He looked really upset I just can't do this anymore. I know you want them to like you all, but I just think you should find a new idea. And, on the personal note, I um… I ah… well…" he stumbles," " I care about you and I just don't think it's fair to me. So I think we should just stop," he finally finished.

He let out a deep sign, and looked up at me. He could see the hurt expression on my face, "Ang, I'm so sorry what were you going to say?" Fred asks, a little shy.

All of a sudden, I noticed all the pieces fit, the "shock, the catch, saying yes to my plan, and being such a good actor. The only problem was he wasn't acting, he really fancied me, and now I had no chance with him.

"It's nothing," I say getting up and quickly walking to the stairs. He grabs my arm and says, "Yes it does, everything about you matters to me."

I look at him, then finally sit back down I started slow, "Well, I didn't notice it until tonight, but I mean you've always been my friend, but I never really thought I liked you as anything more. Then, tonight, it… it hit me, I really do have feelings for you. I was going to ask you if we could go out for real sometime, but I guess that's out now. I have to go," I say again, as I for the second time in the past 15 minutes, head for the stairs.

Fred grabs my arm once again. I turn to see his two blue shimmering eyes, and his gorgeous smile. "You know Angel, I like you're idea better than mine."

"Me too," I respond, as we both lean in for a soft kiss. "Good night," I say softly as we break away, "Good night," Fred replies.

When I reached my bed, I lightly sat and let out a deep sigh. "So, how did that go?" Katie asked smirking.

"Horrible," I reply, "But, we're really going out now."

"That all?" Alicia asked "Well," I start. "I don't kiss and tell." With that, I laid down and fell asleep to Katie and Alicia's giggles.

The next morning was the first in a long time we were both up early, and it was only because we were so happy to see one another.

Of course, the following day, when Katie, Alicia and I had some alone time, I recounted the night before events.

They were interested the whole way through.

Oh, George and Lee were absolutely pissed off at Fred because now we were really going out, and because we'd always kiss good night.

Oh, also, at the Valentines Day ball, everyone knew to stay at least a 50 mile range when Fred and I were dancing.
