Kiss the Girl
Chapter Two: The Hook Up
"Hey Angelina, in here," George whispered in the corridor on the way to the common room from Charms.
"In where?" Angelina asked him as he pulled her into an empty classroom.
"I've got something important to tell you tomorrow night, meet me by that big rock by the lake at eleven-thirty." George told her quickly and quietly.
"Why can't you tell me now?" Angelina said, trying to stop him.
"I just can't, see ya," George said, clipping out of the classroom quickly, leaving Angelina staring after him.
"From the way you're panting I'm guessing you told her," Lee said, making room for George at their table.
"Yep, told her to meet me by the big rock at eleven-thirty," George said as he slumped down.
"Now you just have to avoid Angelina till tomorrow night," Alicia said, crossing off that part of their list.
"Yeah," George said, sliding down in his seat in case she came in.
"When's Katie telling Fred?" Lee asked Alicia.
"Tomorrow morning at breakfast."
"Good, I hope they appreciate all the work we're doing for them," George said.
"They should. We still have to set up the lights tomorrow," Lee said, pulling the list towards him.
"No problem," Alicia said, rolling up the list quickly as Fred joined them for their walk to dinner.
"Did you hear about all the people chattering about Valentine's Day in two days?" Fred asked them as they walked to the portrait hole. "I swear, all the matchmaking that's going on is contagious."
Lee, Alicia, and George paused to let him leave first, sharing a secret smile and an uneasy glance.
"Did you use the passageway?" George asked Katie as she came running out to meet them on the grounds.
"Yeah, he didn't even try to follow me," Katie said, sitting on the big rock and catching her breath.
"Good, Lee's having some problems with the lights at the opposite side," George said and Katie mounted one of the brooms leaned up against the rock to fly over the lake.
George watched her fly, trying to see how fast the wind was blowing and if they would have to adjust their flight plans. Everything seemed normal, and he turned back to the letter he was dictating to the quill.
"Just take the boat to the middle of the lake and we'll be along shortly to tell you something you really need to know," George said and the quill hurried across the page. "Stop," he said and the quill fell down to the parchment.
He let it dry before he rolled it up and placed it carefully on the rock, with a special charm to keep it from moving. Katie came back on her broom, and helped him set up the light in the nearby tree that would shine on the parchment.
"Hagrid's promised to keep everyone else away from the lake today," George told her as she climbed the tree.
"Good," Katie said as he handed her the light and she forced it into place. "This is the only thing keeping me sane today, and Valentine's Day isn't even until tomorrow."
"Yeah, I was wondering how freaked you were getting about all the pink," George said with a chuckle.
"Ha, ha, very funny," Katie said, climbing back down and attaching the wires.
"I know," George said as Katie aimed a punch at him.
"You guys ready for Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Alicia said, flying over and landing on top of the rock. "Hey, cool effect."
"Thanks, and yeah we're ready," George said, grabbing his broom and mounting it.
"Wait for me!" Lee called to them as he flew over to them. They waited before flying up to Gryffindor Tower, where they deposited their brooms and grabbed their bags before hurrying to Defense Against the Dark Arts.
The four of them kept checking their watches frequently, keeping George away from Angelina, and Katie away from Fred all day until dinnertime, where they all sat together.
George and Alicia had Katie sandwiched between them on one side, and across from George was Fred, Lee was across from Katie, and Angelina was across from Alicia.
"So, how'd you survive the mild amounts of pink, Katie-cakes?" George asked her, knowing she hated that name but choosing to forget.
"I still hate it, Georgie-Porgie," Katie said, likewise forgetting he hated that name. "How'd you survive Mindy?"
"I really think it's Cindy," Fred pointed out and she shrugged.
"I ran like hell, which means bad news tomorrow," George said truthfully and the group laughed.
Alicia poked the strange bread in front of her, which was a bright pink, "Is this safe?"
"Dunno, you try it and let us know," Lee said jokingly.
"Yeah, if you drop to the floor we'll know," Angelina said.
The desserts appeared fifteen minutes later, causing them to shield their eyes from the brightness of the colors.
"Who knew red, pink, and white could be that bright?" Katie asked them as they all walked up to Gryffindor Tower. She was still blinking more than usual, and wiped her eyes on her robes.
"I think they were that bright so we'd have to eat them really fast or have our eyes burned," Angelina said with a laugh.
Suddenly, George stopped walking, and pulled Katie with him. "You guys keep walking, I've gotta talk to Katie for a sec."
"Okay, see ya," Fred said as the rest of the group walked away with occasional glances behind them. Katie tried to sneak up behind Fred and hit him, but George grabbed her hand before she could.
Katie gave Fred a small wave as they turned the corner and vanished from sight. "What is it George?"
"C'mon, we've gotta fix everything else up," George said, pulling their brooms out of a nearby secret passage and pulling her to the Entrance Hall.
"Oh," Katie said shortly and followed him.
"Lee and Alicia said they'd come as fast as they could get away," George said as they tore across the ground on their brooms.
"Good, we've still got more lights to fix, you take the other side," Katie directed as she dismounted and grabbed a strand of lights.
Lee and Alicia showed up an hour later, saying Angelina and Fred had been so desperate not to be alone together that they had played ten games of Exploding Snap. They spent the remaining two hours fixing the lights and preparing themselves for what they were about to do.
"George? George?" Angelina called, and they quickly mounted their brooms and took their positions. "You wanted to see me?"
"Katie? Katie!" Fred called from the opposite direction. "Angelina?"
"Fred? What're you doing here?" Angelina said, stepping up to the rock next to him.
"Waiting for Katie, you?" Fred said.
"Waiting for George," she said with a laugh.
This was Lee's clue, and he flipped on the light for the parchment.
"Hey, what's that?" Fred asked, grabbing the parchment and holding it in front of the two of them.
"So you wanna take the boat?" Angelina asked him nervously once they had finished reading.
"Sure, I'm getting intrigued now," Fred said, and they piled into the boat, where Fred magicked them to the middle.
Lee quickly flew over to Alicia by the rock. "Are George and Katie in position?"
Alicia motioned for him to be quiet, and across the lake they could see a faint dot of light moving, "Yeah, let's go."
All at once, lights around the edge of the lake lit up, illuminating about fifteen feet above the lake for Angelina and Fred.
"This certainly is interesting," Fred commented.
Lee and Alicia rose into the air, just above the line of light and above Angelina and Fred. George and Katie did the same, hovering in a square above their friends.
"It is romantic though," Fred added, noticing Angelina's sudden silence.
George nodded to Katie in the darkness, and she waved her wand, making soft music flow across the lake. "There you see her, sitting there across the way," George sang loud enough for everyone to hear.
Lee did the next verse, "She don't got a lot to say but there's something about her."
Alicia cleared her throat quietly, "And you don't know why but you're dying to try you wanna kiss the girl."
Luckily Fred was getting caught up in it and wasn't saying anything, but he was busy grinning at Angelina.
Katie groaned very quietly, not liking the verse she got, and glaring at George who seemed to hover farther away even in the dark. "Yes, you want her, look at her you know you do."
"Knew you had it in ya Katie," George whispered just loud enough for her to hear as he moved slightly closer.
Angelina was now blushing slightly as she and Fred gazed at each other.
"Possible she wants you too, there is one way to ask her," George sang out clearly.
Fred's eyes sort of roll upwards, as if searching for them in the sky, but he couldn't see past where the lights lit.
"It don't take a word, not a single word, go on and kiss the girl," Lee sang out, while Alicia hummed quietly.
Fred looked shocked at their request, and Angelina seemed to be very interested in the water beside her. He stood up in the boat and frowned at them with a scandalized expression.
The four of them flew in a closer square and looped their arms around each other's shoulders as they sang the chorus happily. "Sha la la la la la, my oh my, look like the boy too shy, ain't gonna kiss the girl. Sha la la la la la ain't that sad? Ain't it a shame? Too bad, he gonna miss the girl."
Fred immediately sat back down, making the boat rock some, which made Angelina look at him with a hint of anger. There was a long pause with just music as the group above waits for them to go back to gazing at each other.
When they finally do Alicia sings, "Now's your moment, floating in a blue lagoon." At this the lights around the lake begin to flash with different colors of blue before she continues and they return to normal. "Boy you better do it soon, no time will be better."
Katie's moving to the beat as she sings, making George chuckle. "She don't say a word and she won't say a word until you kiss the girl." Katie stopped singing and muttered under her breath so only the fliers can hear her, "Already."
The group was now moving with the beat along with Katie as they sang, "Sha la la la la la don't be scared, you got the mood prepared, go on and kiss the girl."
Fred and Angelina start moving closer together as Katie waved her wand to make small waves rock the boat slightly.
"Sha la la la la la, don't stop now," Lee sang a line too early as he got caught up in the song.
George frowned but took Lee's lines, "Don't try to hide it how you want to kiss the girl."
Fred and Angelina are now getting really close, as they seem to be lost in each other's eyes. The group above is feeling really proud as the music plays for a little bit.
"Sha la la la la la float along, and listen to the song, the song say kiss the girl," Alicia said, sliding on her broom before Lee caught her.
Katie managed not to laugh but sang instead, "Sha la la la la the music play, do what the music say, you got to kiss the girl, you've got to kiss the girl."
Fred took Angelina's hand and she grabbed his other one as they turned around slowly in the boat.
"Finale guys, make it sweet," George whispered in their huddle as the music got a little louder.
Then, together, their voices harmonizing perfectly, the four of them finished, "You wanna kiss the girl, you've gotta kiss the girl, go on and kiss the girl..."
"Already," Katie muttered as they watched their friends.
Fred and Angelina just sat there for a moment as the music faded and it became quiet. Then, in one swift moment, they were kissing in the boat.
"Finally," Katie grumbled as the flyers cheered quietly for their clueless friends.
"C'mon, let's give them some privacy," George suggests and they flew off slowly.
"Thanks guys!" they hear Angelina and Fred yell at them before it is silent again.
"I knew we'd do it," Katie said. "Roses for everyone!" she handed them all a flower.
"What're these?" Lee asks her.
"Roses. Alicia wanted me to throw them down when they kissed, but I thought that just wasn't me."
"Oh, well, thanks," George said, pocketing the flower as they flew on to Gryffindor Tower.
"This actually was rather fun," Alicia said.
"Oh c'mon 'Licia, you know you're mad you almost missed out on all kinds of pre-Valentine's Day stuff," Katie teased her.
"No I'm not," Alicia said calmly.
"No more fighting tonight, we deserve a break after the miracle we pulled off," George said as they entered the common room through a window.
"Yeah, go us!" Katie said, and they all exchanged high-fives as they thought of Angelina and Fred together on the lake.
