Disclaimer: I only own Kori, Essie, and Nyssa. I also own Ms.Rowling's characters' actions as used in this fanfiction. And the plot is mine, aswell.

A/N: Anyone who hasn't seen, I changed the first and second chapter a bit. I suggest you go back and reread it! Enjoy!

Chapter 3- Peace With Fred

"Hey, Angelina!" Fred said, running to catch up with her.

"What Fred?" she asked, impatiently.

"I'm sorry, about Saturday." He said, and looked truly sorry. But, you could never tell with one of the Weasley twins.

"No problem. All you have to do is call me Angelina. It's just a few more syllables, you'll survive it." she smiled, still not sure if she believed him.

"Ok, Ang...elina." Fred replied, almost forgetting so soon. "Did you have fun with Kori?" he asked, trying to make it seem like small talk.

"Of course. Kori's one of my best friends." Angelina shrugged.

"Oh," Fred paused, "I had a ruddy time with Nyssa. If you spend more than ten minutes with her, she starts talking and talking. And, if she's talking, I can't talk." he said.

"Haha! I could've told you that." she laughed. Every girl in the school knew that, and every boy was stunned by her beauty.

"I wouldn't have had to if you'd gone with me." Fred said quietly.

"I would've gone with you if you had called me Angelina, like I asked." Angelina snapped. She'd always hated people calling her anything but Angelina. She could remember when she was young, like five or six. Her dad would pick her up with his muscular arms and throw her up in the air. She would shriek and laugh, and he'd put her down, calling her his Little Angel or Angie. After her father died, she wasn't really happy to be called anything besides her name. It brought back memories, and with those memories came pain.

No one knew that, of course. Most of the people just did as they were told and called her Angelina. Fred, however, was a different story. Maybe one day she would tell someone, but today wasn't that day.

"I'm sorry..." he lowered his head like a dog that knew he was in very big trouble.

"I forgive you. Next time, alright? We'll go to Hogsmeade next time. As long as you call me Angelina." she said, and Fred nodded. The grin had come back to his face, as it always did. This boy was never sad, or at least not for long. "So, what did you tell Nyssa when you got here? I heard you were pretty rough." Angelina grinned.

"Oh, I just told her that she was bloody boring. Not in those words exactly, but you get the picture..." he said, and laughed. "You should've seen the look on her face! Made me wish I had a camera, watch her face go from a grin to a scowl in thirty seconds. Wouldn't have taken so long, had she not been so thick. Took her forever to realize what I was saying." Fred laughed again. The image of Nyssa the night before was still fresh in his memory. "I doubt I'll be very popular with the Hufflepuffs." he said, in mock concern.

"I doubt you will be. But, it's all worth it. It's about time someone told Nyssa the truth." she sighed.

"So, I saw you in the Three Broomsticks with Kori, Katie, and Essie. What were you all laughing at?" he asked, curiously. It wasn't like Fred not to know things, mainly because he liked knowing everything.

"Oh..." Angelina grinned, "It was...nothing." she said, and laughed.

"Tell me!" Angelina shook her head, "Please, Angelina, please tell me!" he begged her.

"No, it was really nothing." she said, she'd stopped laughing.

"Fine. Don't tell me." He crossed his arms in mock surrender.

"I'm sorry, but you'd get mad at me." she said.

"Tell me anyway, I won't get mad. I promise." Fred replied.

Angelina sighed, "I was just saying...that...umm...." she paused.

"Yes... go on. I'm not that thick, honestly, you don't have to speak that slow." Fred joked.

"I was just making fun of you, is all." Angelina said, hurriedly.

"How so?" Fred asked, slowly.

"Well, I was just...just saying how long it took for me to help you with your homework. And I...umm, just said you probably got all 'Trolls'." she stopped.

"Is there more?" he asked, slightly hurt.

"Umm," Angelina thought, "I think I said something about your joke shop idea, that you'd never get very far..." she said, quietly.

"Well, it's good to know you think this, Angelina." Fred said, and walked away angrily. Fred hated people who put down their joke shop idea. They were brilliant, many people agreed. Weasley's Wizard Wheezes would be a hit, no matter what others said.

"I'm sorry, Fred! I was only joking around!" Angelina yelled at Fred, who was far ahead. Angelina sighed. 'Great, there goes peace with Fred.' she thought.

"Angelina." Fred said, Angelina turned around from talking with Katie and Alicia,"I've just come to tell you I don't want to go to Hogsmeade with you, next visit." he said, formally, and walked away.

Angelina sighed. "What was that about?" Katie asked.

"Well, you know how I was making fun of Fred last Saturday at Hogsmeade?" Angelina began. "Well, I told Fred some of the things I said, and he got angry with me." she said, and shrugged, making it seem like no big deal.

"What'd you say?" asked Alicia, who had been with George. Angelina and Katie told her.

"Oh, and you told him that?" she asked, Angelina nodded, "No wonder he's mad at you. You know how he gets when people put down Weasley's Wizard Wheezes." she said.

"He'll get over it, don't worry Angelina." Katie put in.

"I don't care." Angelina lied, "It doesn't matter to me anyway, at least I won't have to spend hours helping the prat with his homework anymore!" she laughed, as Fred walked by. Fred flinched, slightly, but kept walking.

'So much for a best friend that isn't George or Lee.' Fred thought. 'I'm not that stupid. And it didn't take hours, either.' Fred defended himself in his head, walked over to his twin brother and best friend and sat down.

A/N: To be truthful, I'm not sure if I portray them right here. It seems pretty right to me, but it's so hard to tell. They're very minimal characters. Please, forgive me if you think it's completely wrong! Hope you enjoyed anyway, I should have more soon. I've been spending too much time on this and not enough time on my novel. Oops! But, I promise to update soon enough! And I've got to work on my Lily and James one, too...is a busy little writer
