Tangled Lives at Hogwarts
Chapter 9 - Andrea
O . O . O . O . O
Andrea was sitting in the common room, trying to finish her transfiguration homework when Terra, one of her closer friends in her clique burst through the portrait.
"Andrea, you will not believe what your slimy slug of a sister did to you," Terra said, stressing every word.
"Well, what did she do?"
"Remember how you had that talk with your sister about Harry and everything?"
"Yeah," Andrea nodded remembering the little "talk" she had with Angelina right after detention last Monday.
O . O . O . O . O

O . O . O . O . O
"Angelina, can I talk to you for a minute?" Andrea said through her teeth.
"Sure, what?" Angelina growled.
"Privately," Andrea grabbed her sister by the arm and shoved her into an empty classroom before following her in and closing the door firmly. "I know we haven't been on the best terms, but I really need you to do something."
"What?"
"I want you to keep your grimy Gryffindor paws off Harry Potter because he is mine." Andrea folded her arms and stared at Angelina.
"Why in the world do you think I would want to date Harry? He is such a stuck-up jerk."
"Fine, but if you do," Andrea smirked, "Say good bye to Malfoy." With that, she turned around and walked out the door.
O . O . O . O . O
"Well, what are you going to do? Are you really going to date Draco because I thought we had an agreement," Terra pleaded.
"Hon, do you really think I want to date him? Terra, he's all yours."
"Thank you so much," Terra gave Andrea a hug, "Girl, you are the best!"
"I know," Andrea smirked. She knew that almost every girl in Slytherin would just die to be in her group of friends.
"Well, what are you going to do?" Terra slid into the chair facing Andrea.
"I don't know, but I will think of something during detention. There's nothing else to do there anyways."
"Well, I'm always here for you! And so are the rest of the clique. Did you tell them yet? About you and Harry?" Terra giggled excitedly. She loved knowing things before other people did.
"I don't know. Do you think that the others will... approve?" Andrea brushed her hair back.
"Of course they will!" Terra answered brightly, "But you can always confide anything with me. Promise!" They linked pinkies, "Is there anything I should know about, by the way."
"That's so you! Always wanting to know something more," Andrea scolded playfully.
Terra blushed as the portrait door opened again. They both turned to see who it was. Carrie and Lauren walked in and headed straight for Andrea and Terra when they saw them.
"Terra, what happened to you?" Carrie asked with fake concern.
"What's wrong with me?" Terra asked.
"Your face is as red as a tomato!" Lauren snickered.
"Anyways, we have some hottie news for you, Andrea!" Carrie bragged.
"Really? Concerning whom?" Andrea prayed it was something about Harry and Angelina breaking up.
"It's about Draco," Lauren replied in a sing-song voice.
"Really," Andrea feigned boredom. She pretended to study her shiny nails. Terra had painted them a deep magenta yesterday.
"Draco is looking for you," Carrie poked Andrea, "It's got to be something to be excited about. I mean he is like the hottest guy in school!"
Terra looked down at her feet.
Andrea considered saying something about how ugly and rude he was, but realized if she did, Terra would never forgive her. Because once Andrea set the standards, nobody dared to disobey them. If she said something mean about Malfoy, Terra wouldn't be able to date him and Andrea knew that was what Terra had dreamed of every since she had set eyes on him.
The portrait door opened again and this time Draco Malfoy stepped in. He looked around the common room before noticing Andrea. He took his time walking toward them. He didn't want Andrea to know how excited he was for their detention.
Terra's eyes lingered on him for a moment before staring back at her shoes. Carrie and Lauren started to whisper to each other excitedly. Andrea bit her lip and tried to focus on anything but Malfoy. Her breathing grew more rapid as she heard his footsteps come closer and closer. Stare at the fly. Focus, focus! She thought, but it was too late, he was standing right next to her. Andrea closed her eyes and tried to redeem her calmness and steadiness.
"Mmm.. Andrea?" a husky voice asked. Andrea pretended she didn't hear. A hand touched her shoulder and she finally looked up at the blonde Slytherin. She desperately wished that she was anywhere but here.
"Uh... I'm currently busy here," she said. She felt two pairs of eyes and three pairs of ears focused intently on her.
"You don't look very busy," he said softly.
She brushed his hand off, "Yeah, but I am."
"We have detention again. It's Monday," he reminded her.
"Oh yeah. I was just about to go."
"Well, I was wondering if you would like me to escort you."
Andrea coughed, "You? Escort me? No thanks."
"Well, if we don't go now, we're going to be late. We might as well as go together."
Andrea sighed and stood up, "Do any of you guys want to come along?"
Carrie and Lauren shook their head thinking that they were doing Andrea a big favor.
"Terra?"
"Uhh.," she muttered, but Carrie and Lauren quickly glared at her and shook their heads, miming for her to say no.
"Just go," Carrie said, standing up to give Andrea a little push toward the portrait.
"You don't want to be late, do you?" Lauren added, "Shoo!"
Andrea sighed again before following Malfoy toward the portrait.
They walked off together or rather Andrea was walking speedily in front, while Malfoy was trying to catch up. He reached out to grab her hand, but she held it out of his grasp.
"I'm guessing you don't like me much," Malfoy said, slightly panting from the fast pace.
"You guessed right."
"Well, I think you're pretty cool."
"That's nice," Andrea answered coldly.
"No, really!"
"I said, 'That's nice.'"
"Most people would swoon and give me a kiss."
Andrea stared blankly at the space in front of her.
"Or at least a hug."
"Look, I just really want to get to the classroom before anything happens," Andrea said.
After two more staircases and four corridors, they finally reached their designated room. Andrea pushed the door open and realized that her dreaded "anything" was already happening. Angelina and Harry were kissing each other passionately in the back of the room. Andrea would have grabbed Malfoy and started kissing him to make Angelina mad, but she knew that if she kissed Malfoy, she would never have a chance with Harry. She sighed, then cleared her throat.
The couple broke apart, and Andrea could tell by looking at Angelina that she had realized that she would probably never have a chance with Malfoy since he had seen her kissing with his worst enemy. This was going to be a looong detention.

I am back with more updates! I already have the next chapter written out, but if you want me to post it sooner please review. The more reviews, the sooner I will update! I promise!
The next chapter is Draco's POV and he is not very happy with the detention. Angelina is confused with her feelings, Harry is even more confused with Angelina's actions, and last but not least, Andrea has finally come up with a plan to put Angelina out of action! Muahahaha Please Review! I love reading your reviews, even with criticism because it helps authors write better, right? Plus, you don't have to write much. A sentence or two is great. (Of course the more you write the better)
Sweet cho13 - Whenever I read your reviews, it makes me want to write more and better. I love your reading them. You are a fantastic reviewer and keep it up. I'm glad you stumbled into my story. Thanks and keep it up with the awesome reviews. It's comforting to have readers like you out there! D
mista eko - Thanks for the review! I agree with you and I'll try to revise it when I have time, but as you can see, as the story continues, you learn more and more about the twins different characteristics. For instance, Andrea is a popular girl with many friends while Angelina is more of a quiet girl, but you probably already knew that. ) Thanks Again!
