Chapter Five - Rumors
As soon as she left transfiguration Katie went looking for George. 'I know he said to wait until after detention,' she thought 'but I need to see him.' She looked for him in the Great Hall and everywhere else he tended to go during their break. 'I wonder where he is?'
When Katie passed by a group of fourth year girls talking outside the Great Hall she couldn't help but listen to what they were saying. "Did you know Katie Bell had sex with Fred Weasley?"One of the girls asked the others. One of the girls gasped. "She did what?"
Another one said. They obviously didn't see Katie standing behind them. When she heard one of them call her a whore, she decided she had had enough. She ran to find Angelina.
When Katie found Angelina she was with Alicia Spinett. The two of them were talking with Fred and Seamus Finnigan. "Hey, uhm, can I talk to you for a sec?" Katie asked Angelina trying to keep her cool. Angelina looked puzzled, but followed Katie to a nearby vacant classroom.
"What's up?" Angelina asked.
"I think you know what's up you little whore." Katie glared at Angelina.
"Uhm, no sorry. And stop calling me a whore."
"I'll stop calling you a whore when you stop telling people I had sex with Fred! You know I didn't. So, stop. Its not my fault you're jealous!"
Angelina glared at Katie. "Jealous, I'm NOT jealous. And I didn't say anything about you and Fred."
Katie didn't want to believe her. She knew Angelina was probably lying, but she had never lied to her before. "Okay Angie, I believe you." She sighed. "But, we aren't friends again. You still did take him away from me, and I don't think our friendship will ever be the same." She smiled slightly at Angelina and walked out of the classroom.

For the rest of the day all Katie heard was "Did you hear about Katie and Fred?" or "Katie and Fred went all the way!" She was in such a bad mood that by the time detention rolled around she forgot all about talking to George. 'I wonder where he's been all day?' Katie thought as she made her way to McGonagall's classroom. 'Maybe he was in the joke shop. That could be it. I didn't check-" Her thoughts were interrupted when a third year asked her how the sex was.
"Look you little kid, I didn't have sex with Fred Weasley! So stop asking, alright?!" She had had enough, and so had McGonagall.
"Ms. Bell, what on earth are you doing yelling at a third year like that?" She was clearly puzzled. "I didn't take you to be the kind of person to do that. I'm sorry, but another 15 points from Gryffindor, and I'll see you in detention for the rest of the week." She walked into the classroom.
'That's so unfair. I didn't do anything.' Katie thought. She walked into the classroom with a very confused look on her face. She wasn't the only one though. "Ms. Bell, wipe that look off your face. I punished you because you deserved it. Now sit and write 'I will not me tardy' 500 times." She handed Katie a quill and parchment. Katie took a seat near George. "Maybe we can talk now." She thought. As she began writing he slid a piece of folded parchment over to her.
I can't believe you did that to me
-George
Katie looked at him confused. He looked back and moved his eyes to the paper. Katie took this to mean he wanted a reply. She wrote on the bottom of the same piece
Did what?
xoxo
She slid it over to him and began writing her lines as she waited for the reply. She was on her 100th 'I will not be tardy' when George replied.
You had sex with Fred. You told me you were over him.
And I trusted you.
-George
Katie's heart sank. She looked at George. He looked back. 'He looks heartbroken' she though. She turned the parchment over and wrote:
I didn't. I promise. I'll explain.
Meet me in the common room after detention.
xoxo
Katie slid the paper over to him and finished up her lines as fast as she could. She needed to explain to him what really happened. When McGonagall told the three they could leave, Katie gathered up her books and walked out.
'I hope he shows up.' she thought. Katie was on just stepping off a set of stairs leading her to the 7th floor when Fred came up behind her.
"Some sex, huh?" he smirked at her.
Katie look at him puzzled. "It was you." she spat.
Fred smiled. "Good job, Katie. You finally figured it out. Now stop calling my girlfriend a whore, and I won't tell everyone you had sex with George, too."
Katie couldn't believe it. Fred didn't seem like the kind of person to do something like that. Especially to his brother. "Okay Fred. Whatever you say." she turned toward the Fat Lady, then changed her mind. "Oh, Fred, you know this is all going to come back on you, don't you?"

When Katie arrived in the common room George was already there. "How'd you get here so fast?" She asked him. She put her bag on the floor and plopped down on a nearby armchair.
"Secret passage." George told her. "Mind if I sit next to you?"
"Not at all." Katie smiled. "
The two of them sat for a moment staring into each other's eyes.
"Look, George. I didn't have sex with Fred. He started telling everyone that so it would break us up. I guess he wanted me back. I don't know. But you have to believe me." Katie said at once.
George looked taken aback. "Fred would never do that. What he did was low, I know. But doing that, that's not like him." George stood up and walked out of the room.
Katie sat on the armchair shocked. 'How could George not believe me. And why is he sticking up for Fred?' A tear fell silently down her cheek. Katie stood up and picked up her bag. 'Maybe some sleep'll help.' She walked up the stairs to the dorm wishing tonight had never happened. 'Maybe he'll realize he's wrong...' Katie drifted off into a deep sleep, not even bothering to change.
The next morning Katie woke up in a bad mood. She still couldn't believe what happened the night before. She rolled out of bed and headed to the bathroom. 'Maybe a shower will help.' When she reached the bathroom she herd someone say her name. Katie turned around, expecting to see Angelina, but no one was there. She went to turn the doorknob to enter the bathroom, when she heard it it again.
"I still can't believe you had sex with her!"
"Baby, I didn't. I swear."
"I don't believe you Fred."
"Ange-"
"No, leave."
Katie gasped. 'Angelina and Fred just broke up. Over something that didn't even happen!' She thought. When Fred walked out of the bathroom he glared at her. "Told you." Katie smirked and walked into the bathroom.

When Katie was done in the bathroom she headed to the Great Hall. She tried her best to ignore the groups of people talking about her, but it was hard. As Katie sat down, and spooned some scrambled eggs onto her plate someone from the Slytherin table through a condom at her. "There Bell use that!" They yelled at her.
Katie's eyes filled up with tears, she looked over at George and ran from the hall. As soon as Katie made it out she fell to the floor and began to sob. As she gasped for air she heard footsteps.
"Katie, are you okay?"
It was George. Katie sat up and wiped her eyes. "Does it look like I'm okay?" She asked him.
George looked at her concerned. "Well, not exactly. But I'm going to go fix that right now." He hugged Katie and walked back into the hall. "Can I have everyone's attention please?" He yelled over the many voices. When they finally died down he cleared his throat, and spoke. "I'd like to let everyone know Katie Bell and Fred Weasley did not have sex. Someone made that up to try and help relationships, or ruin them. I don't really know. But I'd really like you all to stop talking about it before more people get hurt."
Katie smiled at George when he walked out of the hall again. "Thanks."
"No problem. I figured it was the least I could do. You know, 'cause I was such a jerk last night. I don't know if that's gonna stop all the talking, but I tried my best. So what else can I do to make it up to you?"
"Oh I dunno." Katie pretended to think. "You could kiss me."
George smiled. "Your wish is my commend. He cupped Katie's shin in his hand and kissed her hard on the lips.
