Ch.8 Letting go

Then next morning Angelina woke up first, she sat up, and yawned as she blinked as her eyes adjusted to the sunlight. Deciding to shower she gather her robes, toothpaste, and hairbrush to the bathroom the girls shared.

After a quick shower, she brushed the tangles out of her hair and brushed it into a ponytail. soon she was dress and ready for breakfast. Her stomach growled.

'I should have eaten dinner', she thought. She left quietly as to not wake the others. Believe it or not, Hermione's cranky in the morning.

Only her and few others were already at breakfast. She piled 2 pieces of bacon, 2 sausages, and 3 pancakes on her plate (AN: She's a growing girl, lol).

"Wow, someone's hungry", a teasing voice said behind her. She turned around and saw Fred watching her with an amused look on his face. (AN: Bet you thought it was Draco).

"Hey, Fred how it going?" she asked nervously, she hadn't spoke to him in a while.

"Ok", he lied. "I wanted to apologize Angel, for being mean and accusing you, and as much as I hate the though of you and Malfoy together I'll step aside so you can be happy."

Angelina looked at him with tear filled eyes, "Fred I want you to know i did love you, and I never wanted to hurt you but, Draco's the one I love now, thank you for understanding."

She hugged him and gave him a friendly peck on the cheek. "I hope we can still be friends."

"I won't lie to you it will be hard, he admitted, but I'll try for your sake."

"Thank you".

All through breakfast Fred remembered the good and the bad times he and Angelina had.

Flashback

1ST YEAR

Fred and his twin George Weasley hurried up to the line of other first years waiting for McGonagall to lead the into the Great Hall to be sorted. They wanted to be in Gryffindor just like there brothers before them were. They were already planning jokes to play on Slytherin and the professors.

Fred bounced from excitement stepping on someone's shoe on accident. "Hey, you stepped on my toe", the girl beside him yelled.

"Sorry 'bout that." He said turning around looking at the girl beside him. She had deep chocolate eyes, skin the color of chocolate, and long hair braided wit tiny beads on the end. She in turn checked him out. He was kinda cute, tall with shaggy red hair, freckles a wide grin and second hand robes.

She shrugged, held out he hand and introduced her self as Angelina Johnson. "Fred Weasley and this, he pointed to his twin, is George Weasley."

They turned as McGonagall entered and lined them up in the Great Hall.

End Flashback

"Fred you ok?" Angelina asked, he realized the Great Hall was full and noisy.

"Oh, yeah." He piled his plate up and ate watching Angelina out of the corner of his eyes as she laughed and talked to Katie.

"Where were you mate?" Lee asked beside him.

"Sorry, dosed off a little."

Angelina herself had trouble thinking strait herself, she kept remembering how she and Fred broke up millions of times but they always made up. It was strange how she barely had time for him anymore almost like he was now a stranger.

She remembered their first kiss when she turned 15.

Flashback

"Happy birthday Angel", she blew out the candle in the cupcake he had given her. He took her up to the Astronomy tower for her to receive her gifts from him in private. He cave her a charm bracelet with a matching heart necklace.

"Fred, its pretty, thank you, it must have cost you a fortune".

"Don't worry about it, your worth it." I love you Angel." he said learning toward her.

"I love you too, Fred." she closed the gap between their lips. They first started out slow then their kiss became faster with more passion. She wrapped her arms around his neck bringing him closer. His arms circled her waist hugging her to him. She sighed and broke away from the kiss first. He kissed her forehead softly.

That was her best birthday ever.

End flashback

"Angie, its time to go", she felt a tugging on her arm, and noticed Katie pulling her towards the great hall doors.

"Oh, yeah thanks Katie."

"No problem lets get to first before Snape takes away some points." They hurried their steps sprinting past an upset Filch.

Angelina nodded and followed Katie down to the Potions masters room. Luck was with them today and the sat down soon as the bell rang signaling the start of class.

"Settle down class, enough of your useless chatter." "There is a remedy potion instructions on the board I'd like you to make for a grade, put them on my desk in a sample tube when your finished". He walked to his desk ignoring the groaning from his students.

Later in the hall way to the great hall

Angelina was glad to have no more classes for the day, she was tired and wanted to see Draco. As if hearing her call Draco appeared behind her, he kissed her cheek and told her to meet him after dinner in the room of requirement.

"See you then". He walked away without another word.

After dinner

Angelina walked up the stairs by herself, Katie and Alicia left for bed and she wasn't in the mood to see Fred. Once there she saw that Draco was already there waiting for her on a fuzzy brown carpet right next to a blazing fire and he had soft music playing in the background.

"What's all this for"? Angelina laid down beside, him and he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer.

Ignoring her question he asked, "Do you remember the day you saw me crying"?.

'Well duh', she though. "Yeah", she answered.

She heard him sigh, and then say, "My father wants me to get the dark mark my next birthday".

'Not surprised'.

"Draco I'm not surprised you knew this day would come eventually, your father is one of Lord Voldemort's death eaters, he would do anything to please him".

She felt him stiffen, then release her from his arms he stood up and all the things in the room disappeared.

Angelina stood up and looked at him. They stood staring at each other for along time before he said, "Angelina maybe we should breakup for awhile, he said staring at the floor, I don't want you hurt".

Angelina stood in shock as he turned and left. She didn't know what time she finally walked back to the Gryffindor common room and trudged up the stairs, the whole time thinking her and Draco was just a joke, he used her.

She just hoped that maybe Fred would forgive her and maybe take her back. For the first time since she broke up with Fred she wondered if she would ever fall in love again.

All I can say is i'm soooooo sorry for not updating in awhile. I wish I had an excuse but really I sat on my butt and watched T.V. So I put my heart and soul into this chapter just for you guys. I hope my reviewers haven't left me. r/r, thanks
