Chapter 10: Iced
"Where's Fred?" Angelina asked suddenly. It was around six o'clock and all the Gryffindor 6th year girls(and one fifth year girl) were in their dormitory. Alicia and Katie were on Alicia's bed, lying on their stomachs, legs flailing in the air. Occasionally they giggled or murmured to each other, pointing with excitement, laughter, or sometimes rage at the moving pictures in the latest Teen Witch magazine. Kalypso was sitting with her back to the wall, knees hugged close. She was writing something or other, probably doing some homework. Kori, Essie, and Miya were sitting in a circle on the floor by Essie's bed. Essie's long blonde hair was thrown over her red and yellow chest, her back leaning against it. The chest was old, passed down through her family. They were silently doing their homework, Kori doing Divination(because she was best at making up horrible stuff), Essie doing Transfiguration, and Miya doing Muggle Studies(since she was muggle born). When they finished, they switched and copied what the other had written(changing a few words here and there so they wouldn't get caught cheating). Angelina was on her bed, reading Quidditch Strategies- Secrets from a Quidditch Genius(which Angelina would tell you was complete rubbish in a hurry).
As soon as she finished the two words, five heads snapped up to look at her, quizzically. Only Kori replied calmly, "Common room." She knew what was going on, but everyone else was confused. Angelina folded the page over, to remember her spot(she planned on writing a letter to the author with all of his mistakes, which would be just about the whole book), and left the room. She was well aware of Katie, Alicia, Kalypso, Essie, and Miya's questions and whispers, but she kept going. Angelina descended the stairs and spotted the back of Fred's ginger head. Somehow she knew it was Fred and not George, although she couldn't explain how.
"Oy, Fred!" she said loudly. Fred turned around, looked at Angelina for a moment, and his eyes went wide.
"Oh, well, er...Angelina. I was just...leaving." he replied, standing up and quickly exiting the Gryffindor Common Room.
"I don't know, Angelina...he's been acting strange today, though. Fred was missing for hours earlier." George shrugged in response to Angelina's unasked question.
She furrowed her brows and frowned for a moment before following him out the door. "Fred!" Angelina yelled down the hall, running to catch up from him. "Where are you going?" she demanded.
"I'm, uh, going...to...uh," Fred stalled trying to think of a suitable lie. "Bye!" he apparently couldn't think of one so he jumped onto the staircase as it started to move and sprinted down the stairs until he was out of sight. Angelina sighed, grumpily. It was plain as day that he was avoiding her. She stood there for a few moments, staring at where Fred's figure had been.
"6:11..."Angelina muttered and then smiled a bit. She had a plan. Angelina suddenly remembered how mad she was at Fred and stomped back through the common room(practically shouting "Pinkledrops" at the Fat Lady who muttered something about kids and manners while she swung open) and into her dorm room. She plopped down on her bed angrily and almost ripped the book in half, she opened it so hard.
She felt twelve eyes staring at her as she tryed(and failed) to concentrate on Quidditch Strategies- Secrets From a Quidditch Genius. Angelina could feel unwanted tears welling up in her eyes, and the page started getting blurry. By that point, Kori had gotten up(everyone else in shock, wondering what the problem was) and sat down on Angelina's bed next to her. Angelina looked up. "I hate Fred Weasley." she whispered before laying her head on Kori's shoulder and all-out sobbing.
"Why does she hate Fred? What's going on?" Alicia asked, worriedly. She, Katie, Essie, Miya, and Kalypso had gathered around Angelina's bed by now, too.
"Do you want me to tell them?" Kori asked Angelina, who was still sobbing into her shoulder. Angelina nodded her approval and Kori explained the best she could. Angelina's sobs soon subsided, but her head remained in it's spot on Kori's now wet shoulder. The girls 'awwed' and gasped at all the right places, and Kori finally finished, telling them about the kiss. Now Kori was stuck, she had no idea what had happened to change Angelina's feelings for Fred so drastically in such a short period of time.
Angelina picked her head up off of Kori's shoulder. "I went down to talk to Fred," she began quietly,"And he said he had to go and rushed off. When I followed him and asked him where he was going, he didn't answer me. He just jumped onto the stairs, which were changing again, and sprinted off." she sighed grumpily again.
"What a jerk!" Alicia screeched. Katie nodded enthusiasticly, it looked like she was going to nod her head off.
"Well, when are you going to clobber him? I want to help!" Kalypso exclaimed.
"I'm going to clobber him after I talk to him." Angelina replied, slyly.
"Really? I would rather clobber then talk..." Miya said, stupidly. It was obvious Angelina had a plan. "This is another one of my blonde-even-though-my-hair-is-mostly-auburn moments...isn't it?" she asked after a few moments of everyone staring at her silently.
"Yeah, yeah, it was." Kalypso nodded, and everyone turned their head back to Angelina, intently waiting for her to spill. The day had just gotten much more interesting.
