Author's Note: I was seriously upset when I read a review written by a reader who rudely informed me that I was spelling the last name Zambini wrong- it's actually Zabini. Know this could have been said kindly but no. I would greatly appreciate if there were no rude reviews. Although I have said I want you guys to tell me what you don't like, I didn't mean by yelling at me. (And since I have written Anna's last name as Zambini, I am going to continue on writing it that way. I'm sorry if this upsets some people but her last name shouldn't be that big of a deal. This story is about her and Fred! Anyways as for all you great readers here's some shout outs! I love all of you!

Chapter 7: Oh Dear!
The next morning Anna woke up tired, considering she went to bed at 3 A.M. They had really "went" to bed at 2 but Anna couldn't sleep at all and all she could think about was what Elle said.
"I thought sleep would help," Anna thought, "But what did Elle mean? I mean Fred and I are just friends, right? Yeah, and Draco and I are back on track although these meetings are suspicious. Something smells fishy. I'll just ask him later."
As Elle, Blaise, Draco, and Anna headed out for class Anna noticed that Slytherin had practice today. "Right after detention, wonderful!" Anna said sarcastically.
"What's wonderful? Thinking about me?" Draco said joking.
"Ha ha. We have practice tomorrow, right before detention."
"That sucks," Blaise said.
"Forget about getting any homework done," Elle said smiling.
"Oh yes, poor me," Anna said faking despair.
"Forget snogging," Draco said.
"Now that's not cool," Anna said laughing.
"What about your prank on Weasley?" Blaise asked.
"Is this Fred Weasley we're talking about?" Draco asked.
"No, Ron. Of course Fred you dummy," Elle said.
"Well, sorry. Anyway, Anna I don't like the way he looks at you. It's almost like he likes you," Draco said which was followed by a cough from Elle, "How many days until you're mine again?"
"Jesus Draco. I'm not yours. I'm not anybody's. And for your information Fred and I are just friends. I stress the word friends," Anna said which was then again followed by a cough from Elle.
"Friends! Oh, so now you're friends with him? What's next; dropping me for him?" Draco sneered and then Elle coughed again. "Will you bloody get a drink of water already," which shut Elle up.
"Don't you dare sneer at me Draco Malfoy. I am not some 1st year who will be intimidated; I'm your girlfriend. And I don't see why I can't be friends with him, "Anna hissed.
"I'm sorry, babe. But you're important to me and sometimes I worry."
"Don't you trust me? I trust you."
"I trust you, of course! I love you," Draco said kissing her when Hermione, who was walking with the "golden trio" bumped into him.
"Watch it mud blood," Draco said but without meaning.
As Anna heard Draco say this she was puzzled. "Now, when has Draco ever given up a chance to torture Hermione, I mean he didn't this time but there was something weird about the way he said it; almost like he didn't want to.
"Can't believe that. Stupid Mud bloods getting germs everywhere," Blaise muttered.
"Oi, Blaise, shut it!" Anna and Elle shouted. Although Anna is in Slytherin she never really liked the concept of purebloods, even though she was one. Anna and the gang finally reached class where she met with Fred to get the notebook.
"I've decided it's time to spice this up," Anna said.
"And how's that?" Fred asked curiously.
"Oh, I don't know...what do you think about Bulgarian?" Anna said laughing.
"Now come one. Can't you make it something readable. How about...English?" Fred said.
"Now where's the fun in that?" Anna said sitting down next to Draco. Draco turned around as Anna searched for a quill and motioned to Fred the "you're dead" signal. (I didn't know how to write it but it's when you move your finger across your neck, ya know. Oh well I'm terrible at describing)
"Trying to kill me, that one," Fred said laughing.
Classes went on as usual but Anna found it hard to concentrate as Elle's words kept playing over and over in her head.
"Yes, I do like Fred, but more than a friend? I can't really tell. Although Draco did apologize, these daily appointments are very odd. What could possibly be going on?" Anna thought over in Transfiguration.
"Miss Zambini?" Professor McGonagall said breaking Anna out of her daze.
"Um, yes?"
"I repeat, what is the spell for turning wine into water?"
"Oh, um..."
"Why would anyone want to turn it into water?" some one said making everyone start to laugh. But Anna didn't have to turn around to see who it was, she already knew: Fred.
"Quiet! Now does anyone know the spell?" Professor McGonagall said forgetting all about Anna.
While Professor McGonagall started writing down notes on the board, Anna took out a piece of parchment and wrote down a note to Fred:
Thank you so much! You're my life savor!
She magically flew the note to Fred's desk and soon her note was replied too.
In all 5 flavors (Get it? Life savors...there are five flavors). But who's the guy?
"What guy?" Anna wrote blushing. "How did he know?"
Well, if I remember correctly, a pretty prankster once told me that whenever she's in a daze she's thinking about pranks or a certain Slytherin. But from the way you blushed when you read my note I'm guessing you weren't thinking about Draco.
"Oh, bloody hell!" Anna thought. "Why does he have to remember that."
I'm just a little confused about things. Talk more later.
When Fred got that response he felt happier. "She wanted to talk later. But who was she thinking about? Was it me? Better not get my hopes up though."
And with that Fred burned the note.
When Transfiguration was over, Anna told Draco to go to Potions without her because she had to talk to Professor McGonagall about practice and detention.
"Yes, Miss Zambini?"
"Um, Professor McGonagall, I might be a little late for detention today because Quidditch practice ends right when detention starts, so I just wanted--"
"It's alright. I know."
"Thanks, Professor."
As Anna left the classroom she was met by the Weasley twins.
"Stalking me now, are you?" Anna said walking in between the twins.
"Something like that," they said together.
"What can I do for you, boys?"
"Ah, the deadliest question of them all. Don't think you want them to answer that," said Anji walking alongside George.
"Anji, your spoiling—"
"Our fun," George ended.
"Sorry," Anji said laughing.
"Anywho, what did I do to deserve this meeting?" Anna asked smiling.
"Well, we were wondering," Fred started.
"That's if Draco doesn't castrate us," George added which sent Anna into a fit of giggles.
"If you would like to join us, two"
"Three," Anji interjected.
"Three," George said happily.
"For a visit to the kitchen after detention," Fred finished.
"I would love to go but—"Anna started but was soon cut off not by Fred, nor George, nor Anji, but by her own thoughts.
"Wait a second! Is he like asking me out? I mean he knows I'm with Draco, what does he think I am, a two-timer?" Anna thought "No! I'm just blowing this way out of proportion. But then why do I feel so sad about saying no? Is it because I want to? No, that can't be it. Oh my god! This is soo not happening to me!" "Your not talking about Draco, are you?...Perfect man...funny and caring and he has a great laugh.." "Why can't I stop thinking about that?"
"Oh god, I do like Fred!
