ANGELINA'S POV
It has been a month since I got that box from Fred. It contained a sky blue dress and a note that said that I will find out in a month what the dress is for. Again I am just sitting here in a comfortable armchair in the Gryffindor common room. I am not reading, like I did a month ago, I am just staring into the fire.
"Ange, you better answer me. I called your name for like half an hour now. ANGELINA JINDIN."
"Oh sorry, Hermione. I just black out when I look into fire."
"Sure. Just wanted to say that dinner is going to start soon, like in 10 minutes time."
"Shoot! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Well I would have if you been listening to me for the last half an hour."
"Sorry."
"It's ok. Oh and Chrissy wants to talk to you before you go down."
"Okay."
I went up to the dormitory and found Chrissy looking nervous on her bed. I sat down next to her, and she didn't look up from covering her face with her hands.
"Hey what's up Chrissy?"
"Nothing much."
"Hermione said you wanted to talk to me. You did, didn't you?"
"Yeah I just don't know whether or not to let you in."
"Is this about you avoiding Sadi?"
She nodded and I understood. I think she knew that I understood.
"I really can't look at her anymore."
"I know how you feel, although I like guys."
"You could tell that I am a lesbian?"
"Yeah and if it makes you feel better I'll skip Dinner and stay up here with you."
"No. I'll go down, and I just won't sit with you or her. Hermione already is saving a seat by her, and yeah she knows too. Both of you are too smart for me."
I chuckled. "Yep I agree with you there."
"Shall we go then?"
"Sure."
When we got there Dinner was half way through, Chrissy went by Hermione, Ron, and Harry. When I went by Sadi, who looked as if she didn't touch any food in awhile. After all the food disappeared, Dumbledore stood up and stated that there was going to be a dance on Christmas, and that any couples could go. He also said that girls and boys could dance with their own gender too. All the teachers, except Snape, squirmed along with some of the students, including Sadi and Chrissy. For the first time in like two weeks, Chrissy looked at Sadi and smiled, Sadi returned it, and started talking to me.
"So do you have an idea of who you'll be going with, Ange?"
"I think Fred already knew about it, because he gave me a dress."
"Cool, so go with him."
"But He didn't ask me directly."
"Oh so now someone has to ask you directly?"
"Yes. So do you know who you want to go with?"
At that point, Chrissy, hearing our conversation, looked over at me.
"Yes I do. But I am not sure they want to go with me."
"Who?"
"Promise not to tell?"
"Cross my heart and swear to die."
"I want to go with -gulp- Chrissy."
"Really?"
"Yep. But remember not a word, to her or anybody. Take it to your grave or I'll never talk to you again."
I nodded. At that point Chrissy told Hermione, who was in deep discussion with Percy that she was going to bed. Sadi told me the same thing and I went over to Hermione, still in deep conversation with Percy, Ron and Harry, who were in conversation, and Fred, who was all alone.
"So where is George?"
"Bed. Why?"
"Well if you must know, I was planning on going to the dance with him."
"Why go with that brute?"
"Let's see, cuz I want to. DUH."
"Would you go with someone else?"
"Sure, but it depends if I catch up to George first or if Draco asks me first."
I went into silent laughter inside me at the look at Fred's face. I turned to Hermione, and told her I am going to bed. Then I left the Great Hall, and in the middle of the staircase, I heard my name. I turned and saw Fred a few stairs down from me, trying to catch his breath.
"You okay Fred?"
"Yep. Listen I need to ask you something."
"Okay shoot."
"Will you go to the dance with me?"
"Didn't you hear me before? Either George or Draco asks me, or no one."
"Sure I did hear you, but I won't give up."
"You know I am only joking, right?"
"Could've fooled me."
"I thought I did."
"So, will you go with me then?"
"Sure, wouldn't dream about going with anyone else but you. Oh yeah, you realize I am going to have to tell George about him being a brute, right?"
"Why can't we just forget about that little detail?"
"Cuz we can't and you know it."
"Fine. See ya later."
"Yep. Sybriacrocks."
The Fat Lady opened on her hinges to let me in the common room. I went to the dormitory and saw...
