Chapter Fifteen

Since the incident with Angelina and Fred, things were seemingly peaceful that moment at Hogwarts. November breeze had rolled around as well as its leaves and gloomy mood. Although it seemed that way, Hogwarts was in a great mood to celebrate, especially Gryffindor. Their contender for the Triwizard Tournament, Harry Potter, had gotten through the first task by defeating a dragon. By celebration, everyone in Gryffindor was in the common room celebrating Harry's victory while Fred and George were passing out new inventions and candies. Unfortunately for their friends, Fred had decided to invite Adelaide.

"This eez noting compared to ze celebration Fleur eez haveeng." Adelaide drowned out Alicia, Katie and Angelina's laughs with her constant complaining regarding how she'd rather be at the Beauxbatons party for Fleur Delacour leaving awkward silences in between revamped conversations.

"So…as I was saying…" Alicia trailed off. "Have you heard there's going to be a dance here at Hogwarts?"

The girls all perked up at talking about it, due to the fact it was something they could all relate to, without Adelaide interrupting on how quidditch was a 'boring, useless waste of a good broom.'

"My dad wrote to me and told me that every tournament there's a ball on Christmas." Alicia told them, Katie and Adelaide perked up as Angelina pondered.

"Maybe I could bring Oliver…that would be fun!" Angelina added in. It would do their relationship well since Angelina had only gotten in a few words with him in the past few weeks although she'd received a picture and his autograph. She'd missed him.

"Who eez Oliver?" Adelaide asked.

"My boyfriend, he graduated last year from Hogwarts, he plays quidditch with Puddlemere." Angelina blushed, thinking about him. Adelaide, of course, scoffed.

"Quidditch, what a waste of time, een France we do not waste our time on such a sport!" Adelaide spat out. The three chasers began to giggle in unison at her.

"Wat ees so funny?" Adelaide asked.

"The quiberon quafflepunchers are from there." Katie told her.

"Only one of the best teams in the league" Angelina rolled her eyes, laughing.

Adelaide scoffed, yet again. "Well I am sorry that I am more feminine and I don't know about quidditch teams, it is not something that a, how you say? Proper lady would do or follow."

Katie and Alicia ignored her. However Angelina took the piece of chicken of her mouth and threw it back on her plate as it flopped.

"What makes you think I'm not a lady?" She asked with her mouth full of chicken. Adelaide gave her a dirty look and left the table.

"If you excuse me ladies, I am going to find Fred. You too, Angelina" Adelaide said, Angelina smiled again with chicken in her mouth as she walked off.

"Do you believe her thinking she's better than everybody? Stupid French tart I bet couldn't even touch a broomstick without flailing her arms around…" Angelina trailed off. All of a sudden, a second year boy had handed Angelina a letter in an envelope, although Katie and Alicia looked confused, Angelina knew that it was from Oliver. She'd helped the boy with his herbology homework so he'd decided to give her mail for the rest of the week.

"It's from Oliver!" Angelina perked up, Alicia and Katie looked alive as Angelina read it and her face deflated.

"What's wrong?" Alicia asked. Angelina remained silent.

"Can he not visit you on Christmas break or something?" Katie asked. She gave Angelina a little push as a small sound came out of her mouth.

"Well, I guess you can call it that. He's not visiting this Christmas because he just broke up with me." Angelina got up from the table and ran up the stairs with Katie and Alicia wanting to run after. Fred, George and Lee were watching as they went up to the three.

"Whoa whoa whoa, you three are off in a hurry." George started.

"You wouldn't want to leave before trying a canary crème right? And while you're trying one give Angelina some." Fred mentioned.

"I think food's the last thing on Angelina's mind right now." Katie started.

"Why? I just saw her devour that piece of chicken." Lee said disgusted.

"Okay…" Alicia trailed off whispering, motioning the boys to go closer to them. "Angelina's having a really hard time right now. Oliver just broke up with her."

Suddenly something went off in Fred's head. He was suddenly alert and things had changed around him. It was finally happening, Angelina and Oliver were through and he didn't know what to do. He didn't know whether to sing and dance and shout it all across the common room, or to go into that room and try to comfort her. Fred had decided he'd go with the second one.

"I'm going up there." Fred said as everyone told him he shouldn't.

"No!"

"Fred don't do it!"

"You're mad, mate!"

"Oh rubbish, it can't be that bad can it?" Fred asked stubbornly. He tried going up the stairs as they soon changed into a slide landing him flat on his face as the crowd laughed and 'ooohed'.

"We told you." Katie and Alicia said in unison.

"I'll try something else then." Fred grunted as George helped him up.

"No! We will go talk to Angelina." Alicia told them as they both went upstairs.

"Do you think she's alright?" Lee asked.

"Oh Fred's fine, but I wonder about Angelina." George joked.

"Fred!" Adelaide spun him around as he stumbled.

"Bonjour Adelaide!" He nervously laughed, hoping she hadn't caught the skit with him his new friend the stairs.

Her arms were folded and her lips were pressed firmly. "I saw you running up there to talk to that, that girl."

Fred shrugged his shoulders. "Okay."

Adelaide scoffed. "Well, I theenk you wouldn't be stoppeeng to talk to her unless you had feelings."

"Adelaide you think every girl I talk to I have feelings for!" Fred exclaimed.

"Well I wouldn't be surprised if I was right. Listen to me! I am going to Fleur's celebration so either you come with me, or we are through." Adelaide fumed. Again, Fred carelessly shrugged his shoulders.

"Fine, if you want it to end that way then au revoir!" Fred sarcastically said. Adelaide scoffed as she stormed out of the Gryffindor common room with Lee and George watching in awe.

"Oh what? It's not like you two actually liked her!" Fred exclaimed.

"Look" Lee pointed up at the girls common rooms where Katie and Alicia were coming down the stairs looking worried and upset. She went up to the three boys.

"Hey" Katie simply somberly said. "Angelina's not doing so well so we're going to call it a night."

"Is she okay?" Fred asked curiously.

"Of course not, her boyfriend of almost a year just broke up with her through a letter!" Alicia said.

"Goodnight boys." Katie said, going up to kiss Lee as Alicia kissed George. The two went upstairs to comfort Angelina once again.

The entire weekend after Harry's weekend was filled with heartbreak for Angelina. She didn't leave the common room the whole entire weekend and the Weasley twins had to sneak meals for her to be delivered. With every meal, however, Fred slipped a note every now and then saying Feel better, Angie, Come downstairs, sleepyhead, or telling her a funny joke hoping it would brighten her day or she'd at least come downstairs. Unfortunately, that didn't happen all weekend although Monday school was starting, and she had to come out of bed by then. But of course, Fred was waiting, just like he had been for a year, he had been patiently waiting for Angelina.
