((hehe Sorry about the wait you guys... It was Eveilevergreen's review that finally caught my attention. I had no idea it had been so long since I updated!! Okay... well, I might have had a clue, but the thing is that I've been on vacation since June until Late July- then a friend of ours had a miscarriage while staying here, and I only just got back from another vacation. And I've been paying more attention to other fics than this one and I realize now that this one is just as importante so I give everlasting thanks to allll of my patient readers and sorry for the wait!! And this chapter is dedicated to Evilevergreen for that notice AND Manoela Wood for giving me this idea during my time of writer's blockiness... thanks to you both...))

Chapter Seven: The Weasley Twin Amendment

((a/n: Oh yeah. This is the first and only chapter of this fic that is going to be based around Fred- I would say from his POV but it lacks first person narrative... This also brings out a more mature, secretive set of Weasley twins than we know...))

Okay... Fred paced around his empty dorm impatiently. Just dump Ella! It's not that hard! I mean someone like that should be used to being dumped by now! But then all the mates will know something is up! I mean, just before Holidays we had been chatting about how we would never turn down that Ravenclaw! AH! Why must this be so confusing?!?!

Then it hit him. It didn't have to be confusing at all! He was a twin for cripe's sake!

"GEORGE!!!!" He bellowed, racing down the stairs, and into the hallway, not in a dissimilar fashion of Angelina a few days ago, grabbing his twin by the collar and dragged him up into the dormitory, leaving Katie, Alicia, and Lee gazing strangely after them.

"Oy! What's the problem with you?! Have you gone mad?!" a very disgruntled George complained as soon as they were in the dorm. "Or perhaps you've miscalculated one of our new sweets, perhaps?!"

"No, George! There is no time for that! By the second code of the Weasley Twin Amendment I defer from you all rights to get out of this task of which I am about to appoint to you!" Fred shouted, pointing with accusation at his brother. George's face resembled something of a very pale, confused, Chihuahua as its owner tried to stuff it inside a tea kettle.

"The second code..." He mumbled, "...of the Weasley Twin Amendment? ... But that hasn't been used since..."

"I know." Fred replied, nodded solemnly.

"Well what in bloody hell is it you want from me?!" George asked, throwing his hands up. "It must be pretty damn important if you're bringing up the second code after all this time! Any code for that matter!"

"Please, George. Bring the profanity level down to a zero, if you please. We mustn't forget the seventeenth code."

"Right... right..." George sighed. "Now out with it!"

"I need you to pretend to be me..." Fred began slowly.

"I already know that! That's part of the second code! Now what is it already?!" George burst out. Fred rolled his eyes.

"I need you to pretend to be me and watch the Second Task with Ella for me." Fred whispered sullenly. George's face remained blank for a second. Before bursting out in laughter.

"You're kidding, right?! You brought up the second code for that?!" George let out in between the laughter.

"Yes, George. This is serious!" Fred, slightly mad at his twin for this. It was a big deal! His relationship with Angelina was on the line! And George was here laughing like a hyena! Well... he had been. Now George was looking suspicious.

"I now invoke the fourth code of the Weasley Twin Amendment and defer from you all rights to lie, or not tell me what is going on when I ask: why on earth do you NOT want to go with Ella?!" It was now George's turn to point. Gah! Fred grimaced. Why on earth had they made the stupid Amendment in the first place?! He had no choice though. The code was the code... even if they had used the Amendment and its codes since...

"All right! I'll tell. But in turn I put upon you the fifth code of secrecy- meaning if you squeal to anyone I have full, utter permission to shame you as my twin until I feel settled. Deal?"

"Deal."

"Okay... see... Me and Ang kind of are, well, I guess you could say dating... but only in secret... and since this morning... ish..." Fred let the whole story tumble out from there. George's eyes were wide with understanding.

"I see... Well, that proves it! Our Twin Thing is still in tune. I had a feeling you and Ang were talking about something more this morning in the common room... and those prototype listen-in-ear things also kind of helped..."

"George! You prick! We vowed not to use those until we had a right name for them and made them more effective!" Fred gasped.

"What can I say? A twin's gotta do what a twin's gotta do..." George gleamed. Fred rolled his eyes. He didn't have time for this. He had to find Ang...
