Alright, here is your New Years present. Speaking of New Years, I have made a resolution. I am hoping to be able to write a chapter a week for this fan fiction. This could be difficult... Anyway, it is winter recess and I am bored out of my mind. I have been sitting at home since last Friday, except for one orthodontics appointment, and I babysat once. I haven't heard from my friends in god-knows-when, except for one short AIM conversation. Of course, I would never want to go back to school. I am starting to hate school so muc- Well, I'll stop. You didn't come to here me rant now did you. Alright chapter 8, I think...

Disclaimer- I hereby give JK all credit for this wonderful piece of work. All the days I have been working so hard on writing this, they mean nothing. JK really did this. So don't sue me, sue JK.

Chapter 8- All About Lee

Fate, I think not. I mean, we are talking about Lee, the weird, psychotic, perverted, LEE. No, no, definitely not fate.

I mean, for nearly four months Lee was trying to make me fall for him, but nothing was working. Now, you cannot expect me to go out with him because I liked him in muggle preschool.

Nope, no way, whatever they said, did, pleaded, I was not going out with that retarded, idiotic, foolhardy- eh, you get the gist of it.

And I mean, there wasn't a question in my mind, not a second thought, never, ever, ever, ever would I go out with him. Bitter, I know, but I wasn't one of those people who liked dating, and thought of it as a game. In fact, besides Lee, I hadn't had a boyfriend before. And I was fine being single, my life was relaxed, not very complex, and I liked it that way.

Besides, dating one of my best friends was completely against my code.

Obviously Lee had no code, or maybe it was in his code that he must have a girlfriend, for for the next 3 hours or so when Lee was over, he wouldn't stop giving me those annoying 'dude, I am totally hot, you know you want me' looks.

Of course, that's a little frightening, so I made sure I was constantly accompanied by either Alicia or Katie, never alone with Lee. Why did my parents have to mention that I dated Lee when I was four? If only they knew him better, knew that it would go to his head.

At about nine or so we bid the boys farewell, Alicia was sleeping over.

"Goodbye sweets" Lee told me, and as if that wasn't embarrassing enough, he hugged me, making Fred, George, Katie and Alicia snigger. I really don't blame them, not only is it just plain wrong for him to hug me, it was quite random, almost as if someone were planning my death, and he'd never see me again.

This was not the case of course, he was just aiming for a reaction, perhaps he was just annoying the hell out of me for the fun of it. He then waved and skipped merrily into the fire, then speaking clearly, shouted: "The Burrow."

"Well, I guess Lee is sleeping over." Explained George, as he too entered the fireplace and clearly stated: "The Burrow"

"Well," said Fred, "See you all…whenever" He winked and disappeared after the others.

Katie sighed and plopped herself on the couch. "What a mess this is."

"Sorry?" I asked curiously "But what's a mess?"

"Oh, nothing" Katie quiet visibly lied.

"Kates we know something's up, now spill."

"Alright, I'll tell you. But you have to promise two things. You wont laugh, and you wont tell ANYONE."

"Anyone?"

"ANYONE" (A/N the three "anyone's" the idea of my 4 year old, evil, masterminded, cousin.)

"Deal," Alicia and I said in unison, puzzled looks on our faces.

"Well, I, ah er-," She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and in a small voice said,

"I like Lee."

I thought this was a joke until I saw the look in her eyes. I mean, who could like Lee? He's a little odd. But, then again, he is decent looking and funny, but definitely not my taste. Not that I really have a taste…

I finally picked up on the awkward silence, with Katie waiting for a response and Alicia keeping her face turned from Katie as she shoved her fingers into her mouth to stop herself from laughing.

"…You do?" I questioned, although I knew the answer, what else was I supposed to say? "So, what's the problem? I am sure he'll be more than happy to go out with you."

"Besides the fact he worships you?" I had forgotten about that. "Oh, right. Well, me and Alicia will figure out something, right Alicia?"

Alicia took a small breath trying to hold back giggles and nodded. "Yes, of course we will."

Those words seemed to comfort her, although I hadn't a clue how to get those two together.

We received a letter the next morning cordially inviting Alicia, Katie, and myself over the Weasley's house for Christmas Eve dinner. Of course, it didn't sound quite as welcoming. There were scribbles all over it and a tic-tac-toe board with large letters above it "WEASLEY WINS! HE SHALL RULE THE WORLD! NEHAHAHA, etc."

Dear Angiepants, KT, and Leach,

Unfortunately, my mom feels bad that we spent the entire day at your house, and she insists on meeting you "lovely girls", so here is the deal. Come over to the Burrow for Christmas Eve dinner to meet my lovely parents and get paid back for having us over.

Oh, make sure you bring us gifts. Lots of large, expensive gifts. Might I remind you that George and myself are totally different people therefore are expecting totally different gifts. Just a thought though…

My mom is forcing us to get you gifts as well, too bad, I know. Only good part, she's buying. She reckons if she has us use our own money, we will buy you stupid cheep stuff. Not that we wont anyway.

Make sure you write back and tell us if you can come, Mum needs to get everything ready.

Remember: DON'T FORGET THE GIFTS!!

From,

Fred and George

P.S. Don't mean to push you away or anything Angelina, but might we remind you that Lee is coming?

"From?" Alicia said with a laugh. "How juvenile, I mean honestly, couldn't they think of anything better to say?"

"They're Weasley's sweetheart." Explained Katie, "They will never be able to do anything right, go out with anyone-"

"Unlike Lee?" She asked with a smirk.

Awesome, blackmail.

My mother was more than happy to drive us to Diagon Ally to buy gifts. She, like Mrs. Weasley, was more than happy to pay. Infact, she gave us quite a bit of money. Of course, the line at Gringotts was quite long, and changing the cash into to Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts, seemed to take forever. Of course, the three of us kept busy, talking and laughing and disturbing the goblins.

When we finally made it out of the bank, we had little to no idea on what to get the guys. We went through a few shops, goggling at brooms and beautiful dress robes. Finally, we arrived at "All the Necessities for The Growing Wizard", a little sweet shop that would be closing down in a few months.

Candy, of all colors, shapes, and sizes lined the walls. There were mini Ice sculptures, made of popsicle's and a large tube filled with sugar.

We ended up buying the boys sweets, we could get something stupid like a stuffed owl to go with it. I had never gotten a gift for a guy before, and wasn't really sure what to get them. Then I remembered what the twins said in the letter

Might I remind you that George and myself are totally different people therefore are expecting totally different gifts

Remembering the letter made me hold off on the candy, and decide on something else.

While Alicia and Katie were checking out, I entered the shop next door, a Quidditch shop. I knew that the twins' favorite team was the Heat Seekers, I don't know why though, they aren't very good...

I found a section on Major League teams and saw little to no stuff on them, but there were hats and several posters.I soon found out that the team colors were black and dark blue, reminded me a bit of Ravenclaw...

Just as Katie and Alicia entered the shop I had a hat picked out for Fred, and a poster for George. But what to get Lee...

"Finished yet Angelina? You put way to much thought into these gifts."

Ignoring her comment I asked, "What would Lee likeDoes he have a favorite Quidditch team?"

"Not a clue, why don't you just get him a gift certificate to something? I think a knut would satisfy him..."I laughed. That was true...

"I think I'll get him a colorfully painted rock."

So it was settled. I went to the next shop over and bought a small blue ink container and found a nice sized pebble outside. I carefully drained the ink onto the rock, staining it.

"I'll call it a lucky rock. The last one they had."

"Perfect."

A/N Alright, there you go. Tah-dah. I think I might have another chapter by the end of holiday break. I'll try... Please review, I need some contact with the outside world.
