I wasn't going to put this up today, but I'm in a Christmas-ey mood.
I am SO ahead. I finished this fanfic, and finished my next fanfic, and am writing 2 more fanfictions at this current moment. Amazing, right? In your reviews, please tell me if you prefer a Sirius Black fanfiction next or a fiction that takes place at the same time as Like A Black Rose. It's like a fanfiction made out of entries from Tammy's journal. I'm also writing a sequel-ish fiction to the Sirius Black fiction, but I can't put that up until I put up the Sirius Black one…. It sounds confusing, right? But you have a choice between:
Sequel-ish thing to Like A Black Rose (in process of writing chapter 3 of this one)
Sirius Black fanfiction (done writing this so there would be no delay in putting up the chapters)

"Straighten your tie!" Angelina snapped at Fred quietly before she knocked on the door to her mother's house.
Fred straightened his tie. "I don't see why I had to get all dressed up fancily…"
"You'll see." Angelina said right before her mother opened the door.
Angelina's mother was neither short, nor tall, but she was very skinny. She was wearing a gray skirt and a gray jacket over a white blouse. Her hair was up in a bun. She looked like she had no personality at all.
"Come in." She said.
Fred and Angelina walked in. They sat down on the couch.
Angelina's mom brought them some tea. "So there's something you wanted to tell me?"
Fred took a sip of his tea, and looked at Angelina and gave her a look that said 'You tell her.'
Angelina nodded, looking at her mother. "Well… Fred and I have been dating for more than 3 years now…"
"Yes. I suspected that…"
"And…"
"Yes?"
"We're moving to Canada."
Fred raised an eyebrow. Did she just say that they were moving to Canada?
"You are?"
"Yes, mother. But don't worry, we'll behave." Angelina grinned at Fred, who was still looking confused.
Fred decided to play along and grinned too.
"Well… I suppose you can go…"
"Great!"
"But are you sure Fred is someone you can live with safely?"
Angelina didn't even blush. She was probably used to her mother acting like that. "Yes, mother. I've lived with him for a couple weeks already."
"Well… Sure. You can go."
Angelina smiled and stood up. She and Fred apparated back home.
"What was that about?" Fred asked, walking to the bathroom and brushing his teeth.
"I was lying. I would've told you already if I wanted to move to Canada."
After brushing his teeth, Fred asked, "Why'd you lie?"
"Because she would start yelling if I told her the truth. And I couldn't've not told her anything because she would've made me visit, and she would notice that I had a big stomach."
"Oh, I get it." Fred said, kicking off his shoes and taking off his tie.
Angelina took off her shoes and socks. "Yeah… So do you get why I told you to straighten your tie?"
Fred nodded, taking off his shirt and putting on a tee shirt.
Angelina smiled. "I love you."
"I love you more."
She laughed.

George brought the journal to court the next morning. It was proof that he was innocent, but he was hesitant about whether or not he should show it.
Hogwarts was mentioned several times in the journal, and Azkaban was mentioned on the most important page. If he showed it to them, they would know that he was innocent, but they would know she was a witch.
And if they read the whole journal, he would probably die of embarrassment. Tammy had probably written a lot about him in her journal, and some things were rather embarrassing.
It was one of the hardest decisions he'd had to make in his life, but the right answer was also obvious.
George decided to show it next time that he went to court, so that he would be able to ask the Minister of Magic for advice and help between the two court visits.
…..
Fred fell out of bed early that morning. His first thought was that he hoped he hadn't woken up Angelina, but she had woken up. "Fred?" she asked. "What time is it?"
"No idea. Probably before 5."
"Why'd you wake me up so early?"
"I fell out of bed. Sorry. Go back to sleep."
"No, I can't. Once I wake up, I can't get back to sleep." Angelina sat up, looking down at Fred, who was still on the floor.
Fred stood up and sat down on the bed. He smiled at Angelina. "How'd you sleep?"
"Perfectly."
"Then I'm really sorry I woke you up."
Angelina smiled. "It's okay." She kissed his lips.
Fred kissed her back, smiling brightly. "Wanna have an early breakfast?"
"Sure."
….
George walked into the Minister's office. "You wanted to see me?" he asked.
"Yeah…" He explained his problem slowly.
"Well… did you think about changing the words on the page so it won't say Azkaban?"
"And if they read the other pages?"
"I don't think they will.'
"Sure…. Bye." He started to leave but the Minister stopped him. "And George!"
"What?"
"Tell your father I said 'Hi.'"
"I will."
…..
Angelina threw a piece of cereal at Fred, who threw it back.
Fred stood up. "I'm going down to the store. See you later."
"Bye."
….
George went back to court the next day and presented the evidence. The judge announced that he was innocent and that Tammy's mother was guilty.
He hoped that Tammy was glad that her mother had finally been found guilty, and as he walked into the store that evening, he was sure that Tammy's warm presence was in the room. The key word was warm, which was warm and happy, rather than cold and sad. Tammy was glad.
George grinned, smiling at Fred. "Hey."
"Hey, how'd it go?"
"Great. I'm innocent." George said, sitting down on the couch.
Fred smiled. "So, are you okay with… with what happened to her?"
George nodded. "Yeah, I guess."
"You're sure?"
"Yeah…. I'm going to miss her being here though. It's been so lonely without her being there while I fall asleep."
"I suppose that it's too early to suggest getting a new girlfriend…"
"If I meet someone I like, I'll get to know them, and maybe date them, but I doubt I'll meet any girls soon."
Fred laughed. "A lot of girls come into the shop…"
"Yeah, but honestly, Fred, you just said it was too-" Fred interrupted George, saying, "Hot girls…"
George laughed. "I don't think Angelina would want to know that you're watching the girls that come into the store and thinking they're hot."
"Don't tell her!"
"Oi Angelina…"
"Don't!"
"I wasn't going to!"
They laughed.
