Chapter 6

After the most horrible Quidditch pratice Angelina had ever attended she marched herself into the library completely ignoring Alica and Katie's criticism on how this morning went.

"You know," Alicia began in a voice tinged with anger. "You really shouldn't have left this morning. The team needs all three of you. Besides you're such a good Chaser why would you want to skip a practice?" Alicia continued to lecture Angelina as they had made there way down from the entrance hall where they had met.

"I just don't understand." Again Alicia spoke all the way down to the library with an occasional comment from Katie.

Angelina, fist clenched, bit the inside of her cheek. She wasn't mad at Katie or Alicia for saying any of this. On a normal day she would find it quite amusing but not now. Not after that practice.

Angelina got out her books and started her homework. The door to the library swung open and Lee, Fred and George emerged through the doorway. They took a seat at the table with Katie, Alicia and Angelina much to their horror.

"Hey Ange, ready for tonight detention?" Fred asked rather cheerfully and punching Angelina in the shoulder playfully.

Angelina winced and clutched her shoulder. "Wow Fred, I guess you don't know your own strength." George joked as he propped his feet up on the library table.

"It still hurts from practice?" Lee asked while Alicia dove to get her potions essay before George's put his muddy shoes on it.

"Honestly Fred…" Alicia began angrily.

"Angelina's hurt?" Katie asked looking up from her work and turning to her. "What happened?"

"Nothing." Angelina muttered.

"She flew into a goal post." Fred convincingly lied.

"Did not!" Angelina snapped.

"Why would you fly into the goal post?" Katie asked stupidly. It was the blond coming through again. (A/N- I'm a blond myself so I just want you to know I know that there are just as many blonds like this as any other color hair lol…back to the story…)

"I didn't" Angelina piped in once again.

"I think she had too many butter beers." Lee said matter-of-factly. Angelina rolled her eyes at Lee and spoke once more.

"Katie I didn't do anything like that."

"But I don't understand…"Katie began. "Why didn't you tell us?"

"Probably too embarrassed. Besides she doesn't like to talk about pain." Fred added with a smirk.

"Yes I imagine a metal goal post could hurt." Lee piped in.

"I didn't…" Angelina began but was but off by Alicia.

"Yeah especially if she was traveling fast." Alicia paused. "Were you going fast?"

"Alicia do you honestly think-" Cut off again.

"Oh she was." Fred said.

"I would say as fast as that broom of hers could go." George said with a nod.

"Ow…I can't say that I've ever flew into a goal post but it had to hurt." Alicia said sympathetically.

"It looked like it hurt." George nodded. "There was a loud thump then…"

"I did NOT fly into a goal post!" Angelina said loudly over their voices. She turned to look at Fred was grinning quite widely. She could never understand how one remark made by him could end up into a mess like this but he did it often and was quite good at it.

Madame Pince hurriedly walked over to Angelina. "You need to be quiet this instant!" She said angrily. "And I would suggest you paid more attention when you are flying. I'm certain flying into a goal post was caused by a careless error."

Angelina bit back the strong desire to scream at her but she merely nodded. After Pince left Fred broke out into a silent laughter.

"I hate you Weasley." She barked as she picked up her things. Angelina too had to stop herself from smiling especially after seeing the most confused, dumbfounded look on Katie's surprised face.

"What did I do?" George piped in looking innocent. Angelina merely rolled her eyes and headed for the door.

"I'll see you guys later." She said with a small wave. Somehow, Fred always managed to make Angelina happy by doing something stupid like that. It was most likely the reaction Katie and Alicia always gave but he was still making fun of her. So how could that make her feel better?

"Wait so she didn't fly into a goal post?" Angelina heard Katie ask before she closed the door to the library. This time, Angelina couldn't help but smile.
