Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't added another chapter. My original plan was to update every two weeks, but I should have known things would go wrong. First, I was sick then I been loaded down with a lot of projects so just bare with me. Ok enough of me talking time for the next chapter.
Chapter 2Homework, it was the thing that Fred didn't miss about school. It was only their second week and he was already knee deep in work.
"How's it going?" George asked joining him at the table in the common room along with Lee. Fred finished writing his last sentence with a sigh, "No where." He answered dully.
"C'mon, it's not due tell tomorrow you have all day to deal with it. Right now your first commitment is to enjoy the day with you best friend and your twin. Besides it's not like it'll be a surprise if you don't have it done."
"Yeah, we have to cause a little mischief. It's our second week of school and I know the teachers are missing us." George added dramatically.
Homework or fun…homework or fun…homework or FUN!
Fred smiled joyfully, "Alright, ok lets go. Who has the dungbombs?"
After a day of causing chaos Fred settled back against a tree facing the lake. He didn't feel like finishing his assignments and the lake was looking really tempting. Fred carelessly took off his shirt deciding that he would take a swim. He loved swimming and to him it was the best way to finish off a day of torturing Snape.
"Hey can I join you?" Fred turned to see Angelina looking at him weirdly. "What?" He asked self-consciously flatting his hair.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going to swim around a bit. Want to come?" Angelina titled her head a little, "Are u crazy? There's a giant squid out there."
"It's no where near the shore it'll be ok. I'll protect you."
Angelina snorted, "Right, then we'll both be dead."
"But we'll be together." Angelina laughed and ruffled his hair. Fred smiled at her and put his shirt back on the though of swimming already escaped his mind. She sat down beside him her back also against the tree trunk.
"You know what sucks?" Angelina asked after awhile.
"What?"
"Not having Quidditch. As exciting as the tournament is…I would rather have Quidditch."
"Yeah, but think about it this way Angel. If Beauxbatons and Durmstrang show up then you might be able to meet Krum." Angelina shrugged, "Yeah that's the only positive aspect."
Fred pretended to become bored with the subject and laid his head on her thigh, stretching out before talking again, "I just thought of another good aspect."
"What?" She started to rub his hair while he closed his eyes.
"We'll get to spend more time with each other."
"What are you talking about Fred? We are always together. How much more time do we need to spend with each other." Fred frowned slightly hoping that Angelina didn't see it. He was mad at her of course. He doubted if she would ever know how much it hurt to really like a friend who only wanted friendship.
"By the way you and your twin acted at dinner one could assume that you two knew about what was happening before hand."
"Why my dear, dear Angel we did." Angelina unexpectedly pushed Fred off of her, "And you didn't tell me? How did you find out? Are you going to leave me out of things like you have done before? I thought we were friends!" She narrowed her eyes a little and muttered under her breath, "I bet you told Mina."
Fred blinked a couple of time recovering from the shock, "What? I didn't know you would be mad. Besides I was going to tell you, but Mina came in and distracted me. You should know that if I didn't tell you I wouldn't have told anyone else. George and I knew only because bighead Percy kept talking about it. So we searched his insanely clean room until we found the papers saying something about the tournament." Fred then looked at her inquiringly, " What do you have against Mina anyway. You just met the poor girl."
"I don't have anything against her. I think she's lovely." Angelina spit out looking at the ground. It was obvious to Fred that she was lying, but refused to continue the argument. For once to keep the peace Angelina gave in and rested her head on his shoulder. Fred wrapped his arms around her waist and they stayed like that until it was time for dinner.
"I saw you and Angelina getting all lovey dovey down by the lake." George stated casually.
"George you know it wasn't nothing. Angie and I are just friends," Fred answered lying on his bed.
"I think you like her." Fred shrugged lazily, "So what? Even if I did I have a slim to none chance to go out with her."
"Yeah you're right I suppose." Fred gave him an evil look, which George ignored, "Especially since Cedric just asked her out a couple of days ago-" George stopped suddenly when he heard a loud noise. He quickly turned around to see his twin on the ground beside his bed.
"What!" He asked once his mouth started to move.
"Yeah I thought she told you."
"No she hadn't even mentioned it." Fred suddenly felt hurt. He swiftly got up and went down stairs to the common room. He spotted Angelina alone reading a book and took advantage of the moment. He walked over to the armchair and placed a hand on either side of her.
"So when were you planning on telling me about Cedric?" He asked in a low voice. She lifted her head and looked him in the eye unshaken, "I was going to tell you eventually…"
"Yeah like when you two are married?" Fred knew deep inside that he was over reacting, but at the time he felt like they really would run away and elope. He was also upset because now he would have to wait longer to make his move.
"It's not even that serious! He just asked me out like two days ago." Angelina said getting annoyed. Fred narrowed his eyes a bit before lowering his head sighing. "I thought we were close enough to tell each other things."
"We are, I never had the perfect moment to tell you." Fred shook his head, "We were outside, together, alone for hours and you couldn't find the right time!"
"I'm sorry ok? I didn't know you would get this worked up." Angelina mumbled. He hated it when she mumbled, it always meant that she had something else she wanted to say and just refuse to say it at that time.
"Fine Angel you can keep all your secrets since you don't seem to care about me enough to let me in."
"Oh don't give me that Fredrick. Stop being a baby. It doesn't affect you in anyway. I don't know why you are getting all emotional."
Fred gritted his teeth and walked out of the common room praying that Cedric and Angelina's relationship wouldn't last long.
