Tangled Lives At Hogwarts- Angelina
O . O . O . O . O
Angelina woke up to the soft, gentle snoring of Ginny. She lay on her bed, too lazy to get up. She didn't know that today would be the day where her life would be changed.
She looked around for Belinda, couldn't find her, so decided that Ginny would be her companion for the day. Definitely not what she would have hoped for, but she would rather go down to breakfast with Ginny than with nobody.
Angelina got up, dressed into her black robes and aroused Ginny. Together, they made their way to the Grand Hall. Ginny couldn't stop talking about Harry. It was Harry this and Harry that and . . .
"Ooh! And he's so sentimental. He bought me twelve roses for my birthday and wrote a letter that he would love me until the last rose died," she gushed.
"So?" Angelina replied, tired of this Harry talk.
"The last rose wasn't real! It was plastic." And on and on Ginny went until they finally finished breakfast.
"Oh, look! I see Belinda, I'd better go say hi," Angelina said, managing to say it in between Ginny's words.
"Oh, okay. Well, I see Luna, so see you in charms."
"Yeah, see you," she parted quickly with Ginny and rushed off to charms.
Angelina was so glad to have gotten rid of Ginny that she crashed right into Harry.
"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry!" she bent down to help pick up his books, "I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking."
"Same here," he offered a shy smile. Angelina smiled back and couldn't notice that he was as cute as Ginny had bragged. "Well, I'll be on my way. I have double potions with Slytherins next," he made a face.
Angelina laughed and they too, went off their separate ways. She felt sorry for him, she didn't have as many classes as he did.
She arrived in the charms classroom, surprised that she was the first person present and was greeted by the small Professor.
"Ahh, Angelina," he squeaked, "Did you have a nice summer?"
"Ummm . . . Sure, I guess. If you call spending the whole summer with a retarded sister fun. OOPS! Sorry, Professor. I didn't mean to say that, it just slipped out."
"Oh, that's okay. I'm sorry about your summer, Angelina," he answered, absentminded. Students began shuffling through the door, "Well, class is going to start soon, so you'd better go back to your seat."
Angelina grinned and headed to her seat next to Belinda, her best friend since before Hogwarts. Angelina smiled as she remembered that day when the owls arrived, she was at Belinda's house celebrating Belinda's 11th birthday. She laughed as she remembered Belinda's shocked face as the owls soared in. There were two owls, one for each of them. Happy that none of them were squibs, they had danced in circles after they read the letter.
"What's up?" Belinda held out her hand and Angelina hit a high five.
"Nothing, unless," Angelina lowered voice, "If you call listening to Ginny brag about Harry the whole way to the Great Hall news." They both giggled. It wasn't Harry's fault, really, that they didn't like him. They thought he was an arrogant snot that was so stuck-up, he couldn't see the ground. Or at least that's what Belinda thought, Angelina debated over wether or not he really was that bad. She remembered his warm smile back when they had bumped into each other in the corridor. "Belinda, where were you this morning?"
"Getting gossip!" Belinda replied, "Duh! Anyways, listen to this. Brianna told me that Ginny was talking in her sleep. 'Oh, Harry dear! I'm so sorry . . . Please forgive me. I didn't do anything wrong.' And then she woke up panting. Brianna swore that she saw tears in her eyes."
Angelina laughed, "Ginny's soooo pathetic! Every time she's near Harry, she's practically drooling on him!"
"Class!" squeaked Professor Flitwick, "Please quiet down. We are about to start."
O . O . O . O . O
Angelina got out of the classroom in a hurry. She had accidentally spilled something on her shirt during charms and couldn't get it out, even with magic. She and Belinda stumbled their way to the Gryffindor common room and into the girl's dormitory.
"Here, try this on," Belinda tossed Angelina a white lacy shirt and a dark navy blue mini-skirt, "I doubt sticky, wet robes are very comfortable."
"I can't wear this, Belinda. I'll be the only one that's not wearing the uniform," she sank down onto her bed.
"Oh, just try this on. You'll only be wearing this for a while, just until the house elves wash it."
"Oh, all right," Angelina got into her new attire and Belinda stood back and admired her.
"It looks really nice on you," she complimented.
"Yeah... Sure, thanks."
"And, I know the perfect hairdo to go with it," Belinda spun Angelina around and twisted her hair into a messy bun.
"Perfect! Now you have to show Colin how good you look," Angelina rolled her eyes, but Belinda pushed on, "At least take a walk around the school! We are not staying in here. Come on!" She grabbed Angelina and pulled her outside of Gryffindor, past the Fat Lady before she was swallowed into the crowd. Angelina looked around in search of her lost friend, but couldn't see her. She pushed her way into an empty classroom, fighting for personal space.
A blonde guy, a Slytherin from the color of his robes stood toward the back of the room. He turned around when he heard her entering.
"Oh, sorry," Angelina mumbled, "I didn't know... I mean.. I thought this room was empty. The crowd back there was soo.. . Big." Angelina couldn't recognize her voice, it was higher and shakier then her usual quiet voice. She managed an awkward grin. The blonde guy laughed.
"Hey, I know you! Actually, I've been looking for you." He paused, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Draco Malfoy," he drawled. He held out his hand.
"I'm Angelina Folson," she took his hand and gave it a firm shake, "But you already knew that, right? Anyways, you said you were looking for me."
"Oh yeah... To give you this," he pulled her into his arm and gave her a long, deep kiss. Angelina had no idea what was going on, but responded by wrapping her arms around his neck.
The door burst open, and the couple looked up to find Blaise staring at them.
"Draco," he stammered, "what in the world do you think you're doing!"
"Hmmm... I think I'm KISSING!" Draco hollered back.
"What! I...I... I can't believe you betrayed me! You... You... You said..." Blaise stomped toward Draco and Angelina quickly slid out of the room, wondering what had just happened. The only thing that was circulating in her brain was Draco Malfoy kissed me! Draco Malfoy kissed me! YAY! as she sprinted to the Gryffindor common room.
She grabbed Belinda who appeared from nowhere and shrieked, "Oh my goodness! You won't believe whatjust happened to me!"
Belinda raised her eyebrow, "Calm down, Angel, breathe! Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. In-"
"Cut it out!" Angelina whacked her friend softly on the arm, "I've finally found my Mr. Perfect!"
"You're serious, right? Cause if you aren't," Belinda paused then raised her wand, "Angelina, meet Mr. Wandy. You're not getting me hyped up for nothing. You've done that to me like since before we started talking.
It was Angelina's turn to raise her eyebrow, "Really?"
"Of course, now get to the point! Who is he?"
"Draco Malfoy," she bit her lip, wondering how her friend would react.
"What! You can't be serious," Belinda nervously laughed, "worry" was written all over her face.
"What do you mean?"
"Draco Malfoy," she spat, "is sooo much more arrogant then even... Ginny Weasley."
"Did someone say my name?" a sleepy voice called out.
"Nah, go back to sleep," Belinda turned back to Angelina, "Something happened between you guys. Spit it out!"
"We... I dunno how to say this, but," Angelina looked at the ground, "we kissed."
"WHAT!"
"Some people are trying to sleep!" Ginny yelled out from some bed to the left of them.
"Continue. Ignore the red turd, Angelina, what happened?"
"I dunno," Angelina meekly whispered, "I just remember that... Well, remember how we got seperated?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I pushed my way into this empty classroom and we kissed."
Belinda stared at her with a confused expression.
"Okay, he just came up to me and was like, 'I need to give you something' and then he kissed me... And it was awesome! You don't know how awesome it was!"
"I'm surprised. You would never let down your guard like that," Belinda eyed her carefully. "Well, we'll see what really happened tomorrow. I doubt, no offense, that he didn't really mean to kiss you. Maybe he was drunk. I mean you guys have only known each other for like two seconds. Maybe he was using you."
"You don't understand! He was soo... soo.. SMOOTH!"
"Of course he's smooth! He's the smoothest guy in Slytherin. He's a player, he dates girls then dumps girls. Shags them then breaks their hearts. Trust me, you don't know what you're getting yourself into."
"Yes I do, wait... No! I mean, I'm not getting myself into anything."
"Well, if he does hurt you... He won't know what hit him."
Angelina broke into a grin, "Draco, meet Mr. Wandy."

Thanks to my reviewers.
Hope you like this chapter better, I tried to make it longer. Actually, I started writing and I couldn't stop. Please review and I checked the chapter thoroughly for mistakes! By the way, I have nothing against Ginny, its just that the characters dislike them so I describe her as a mean snobby girl, but I'm sure she isn't. I think Ginny is a remarkable character.
Thanks to Lily in the Pond - You have been an awesome friend and thanks for the review! I look forward hearing you again which is probably tomorrow. . . BUT THANKS SO MUCH!
