Chapter Nine: Confessions and Sweets

"Alright, to breakfast we go." Kori laughed, walking out of the shower. "Well, if you lot are done with the pillow fight that is." she giggled, seeing the three girls attacking each other with pillows. They stopped, looked at each other, and all threw their pillow at Kori at the same time. Everyone laughed and they headed down for breakfast.

"Did you see what Mariana was wearing yesterday? It was so horrific, it all clashed and...ugh, I thought she'd lost her mind!" Alicia was rambling about something or other again. "Aren't I right Angelina?" she said, breaking Angelina's train of thought.

"Yeah, of course, Leesh!" Angelina pretended to care about the conversation. She turned her head back and the first thing she saw was a ginger head of hair and deep blue eyes. He looked down, as did she. Neither wanted to be seen watching the other. Angelina felt the color rise in her cheeks and hoped it wasn't noticeable.

"Oh, and Angelina, you need to remind me to ask Tara if I can borrow that skirt she wore last week, George and I might do something soon and I want to wear it. Did you see it, Katie? It was so adorable! Right, Angelina?" Alicia continued.

"Err, yeah, right." Angelina faked attention again. She glanced at Fred quickly when they passed him, and he was looking the other way.

"Hey, Angelina, you alright?" Kori asked, quietly, from next to her. Alicia was still going on and Katie was listening intently.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, alright." Angelina said, her attention shifting from Fred to Kori. After last night, she couldn't stop her mind from wandering to him. "Sorry, I was just thinking."

"About...?" Kori asked, a knowing smile on her face.

"Koriana..." Angelina began, and sighed.

"What Angelina?" Angelina shrugged, looking away. Kori grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the table, grabbing a few muffins for them to eat.

"What! Where are we going?" Angelina cried, as Kori yanked her out of the giant doors and through several hallways before she plopped onto the floor, pulling Angelina down with her.

"So, what's up?" she asked with all the ease in the world. Kori almost made it seem like she hadn't just dragged Angelina through what seemed like half the school.

"Nothing, Koriana." Angelina looked away from her friend's watchful eye.

"Don't you lie to me Angelina Johnson." she scolded.

"I'm not lieing, Kor."

"Yes, you are. I know when you're lieing, so spill." Koriana replied, staring at Angelina's turned head.

"Kori, you know how I go visit the squid, right?" Kori nodded, "Last night, I went out...and Fred was there." Angelina began the story, a few tears welled up when she told Kori about her dad, and Kori listened patiently.

"Wow. So, you've got detention tonight with Snape? And then, before you went to bed, you kissed Fred Weasley?" Kori repeated the last parts of the story to make sure she'd heard them right.

"Yeah." Angelina replied, quietly, and looked away from Kori.

"That, my friend, is amazing. Except for the detention part, that kinda sucks. I bet you two will start going out, and then you'll get married and have little Fred's and oh, they'll be so adorable! And, one of those little cuties will be my godson or goddaughter and I'll spoil them rotten! Oh, and I'll be a bridesmaid at your wedding! Oh, Angelina!" Angelina was giggling, despite her unsure mood.

"Fred, oh Freddy! FRED!" Lee was screaming in Fred's ear now, as he'd been trying to get his friend's attention for at least five minutes.

"Huh, what, mate?" Fred's attention snapped back down like a piano off of a roof.

"Want my piece of bacon?" he asked, innocently.

"Your piece of bacon?" Fred asked, incredulously, "You yell in my ear for five minutes straight and ask me if I want your piece of bacon?" He sighed and looked at his plate before reaching over and taking Lee's piece of bacon.

"You okay, mate?" Lee asked, somewhat concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Fred shrugged the question off.

"You've been quiet all through breakfast. I'm your twin, I know when something's up." George let himself into the conversation.

"Nothing's up. Everything is just peachy." Fred snapped, excusing himself from breakfast and walking briskly out of the Great Hall.

His body automatically turned towards the door to the grounds, but changed his mind. The grounds just brought back memories of last night, which he still couldn't bring himself to believe. Instead, he walked up towards the Room of Requirement. When it was too cold, raining, or snowing outside and Fred had to think, he'd go there.

He walked past three times thinking, 'I need somewhere to think, somewhere peaceful. With chocolate chip muffins, and some Bertie Botts.' A door appeared, and Fred quickly walked in.

Inside, the walls were a calm blue and cushions were scattered about the room for seating. In the middle of the room, a round table with one chair stood. On top was his requested Bertie Bott's and chocolate chip muffins, along with Ice Mice, chocolate frogs, and dozens of other sweets to make your teeth rot.

"Good, I'll just sit here and think. Oh, acid pops, and jelly slugs!" he said aloud, meanwhile eating some fizzing whizbees and opening the Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans container.

It might have been said that Fred Weasley did more eating than thinking while in the Room of Requirement, but no one was there to witness, so no one said anything.

A/N: -cries- I am so so so so so so sorry! I haven't written anything in SO LONG! I was suffering from severe Writer's Block, which means I couldn't think of something for my novel and was so discouraged that everything in my mind went blank and I was unable to think of anything to write.

paixamouretchocolat: Hehe, I knew that. No, you think I'm lieing, but I really did know that! I've called them corn rolls since the beginning of time, lol, old habits die hard. I'll try and make sure not to do that again, hehe. Glad you like the story, though!

Kit: -cringe- Don't hurt me, I didn't mean to get severe Block! About the switch, I swear I create the line when on WordPad and then it goes -poof- when I upload it on here. Grr. -Must remember to put line, must remember to put line- I apologize for any inconvenience or confusion! Lol. The evil cookies will not attack me, for now I have updated. Was majorly miffed when I wrote half of a chapter of KISA(also known as Knight In Shining Armor), and it was a hilarious-no, nevermind, you'll read it when I rewrite it -wink-, and then my computer went beserk and I lost it all. Grr. Will try and work on that now!

Hope you lot like this chapter! It's not very interesting, but much needed, in my opinion.
