AN: Yeah, I know I changed how Alicia looked but when I read the books, which was before I really saw her in the movies, she looked different. Also sorry for taking forever to post but I've been super busy with school work.
When Katie woke up the morning after her big date she was ecstatic. She couldn't believe what a great time she had with Fred and she also couldn't believe that she could be so crazy. It was like something inside her had changed for a night, like when she was alone with Fred she was a crazy reckless girl who could do anything but then of course she always had to go back to school and be normal Katie. As she was walking down the hallway she saw Sophie walking her same way to her next class.
"Hey Sophie!" shouted Katie.
"Oh hey Katie, you're looking happy today" said Sophie who noticed that Katie was nearly skipping down the hallway that morning.
"Yeah I guess I am" said Katie who felt beyond happy even though she got only two hours of sleep.
"Katie, are you feeling all right?" asked Sophie since Katie was now giggling to herself.
"Yeahhh" said Katie who was still giggling thinking about last night.
"Look at me" said Sophie.
"What are you doing?" asked Katie since Sophie was now looking straight into her eyes.
"Hmm… your pupils aren't dilated" said Sophie.
"I'm not on pixie puff weed!" said Katie wondering how Sophie could have ever thought Katie was doing drugs.
"Just making sure" said Sophie.
"I don't get it, if you can read my mind why don't you just do that to figure out why I'm happy?" asked Katie.
"Do you want me to read your mind?"
"No, not particularly"
"Well then I'm not going to read it then; I told you before I don't like rudely invading in other peoples' thoughts. I am very aware you're hiding something and you can tell me what it is when you're ready. Well, I better get off to class, I mustn't be late."
As Katie started walking to class she felt relief that Sophie had self control. For all of her gossiping at she had a conscience. When Katie walked into her history of magic class she saw about half the class there and she took her seat next to Leanne. Katie then took out her quill, text book and pieces of parchment for notes. When she looked up at the chalk board she saw that they were going to talk more about the history of conflicts between goblins and wizards.
"Haven't we already spent eight days on goblin conflicts?" said Katie to Leanne.
"Well apparently we need to spend another day on it. By the way how was your date last night?" asked Leanne with a big grin on her face.
"It was amazing, we went dancing and shopping, it was so romantic."
"Romantic? Huh, who knew Fred had a romantic bone in him."
"I know right?" said Katie.
"Quiet down class," said Professor Barnes, their ghost teacher.
"This is going to be a long class" said Katie.
As Fred sat down for class he was thinking about what he Katie should do next for their next date. Obviously they would have to back to Hogsmeade; there wasn't really anything they could do here. Maybe they'd go visit the book shop again, 'Wait did I just think book shop?' thought Fred, 'She really has rubbed off on me.' Just then Lee walked in.
"Having deep thoughts Fred?" asked Lee.
"Yeah sure" said Fred.
"Ooh, George here comes Alicia" said Lee as Alicia walked in with Angelina, Alicia blond hair up in a pony tail, probably talking Angelina about their next Quidditch practice.
"Hey Alicia" said George
"Hi George how are you?" said Alicia
"Pretty good, did you do last night's homework?" asked George.
"Yeah, actually I did" replied George.
"That's good; see you after class" said Alicia and she went to her seat and began talking to Angelina again.
"Wow, my brother I'm surprised you were able to talk to her without messing up" said Fred.
"Yeah, well I do have an incredible gift when talking to the ladies" said George with a smug smile.
After class Fred had decided that he and Katie would go to Hogsmeade the one week from Friday, that way they could stay out later. As Fred, George and Lee walked into the great hall Fred spotted Katie sitting with Leanne, and Thomas. Fred, George and Lee found Alicia and Angelina and sat down next for lunch as they always did to eat. When Fred saw Thomas get up to leave he decided to quick go over and talk to Katie and ask her if Friday worked for her.
"Hey Katie"
"Oh, hi Fred" said Katie.
"I have uh…homework question for you" said Fred just trying to make up an excuse.
"Fred its okay I know," said Leanne and she got up, "I'll talk to you later in transfigurations class, Katie." Then Leanne left the Great hall.
"You told her?" asked Fred.
"Yeah she was starting to figure it out, she won't tell anyone though, she's pretty good with keeping secrets" said Katie. "So what's your big 'homework' question for me?"
"I was wondering if you 'study' with me one week from this Friday" said Fred.
"Oh, I would love to 'study' with you on Friday night" said Katie knowing what he meant.
"Great, then we shall me by the 'library' like we did last time?" said Fred.
"Of course" said Katie.
That next Friday
As Katie was getting ready to go to Hogsmeade that night she was excited and was wondering what they do on this time in Hogsmeade. It would obviously be more crowded this time seeing that last time they went it was a Tuesday. As she got her coat, checked to make sure the common room was cleared and noticed that Harry Hermione and Ron actually went to bed at a reasonable time. 'Wow I guess they decided to sleep tonight' thought Katie walking through the portrait hole. She then ran quickly to the one eyed witch although being cautious at the same time to make sure she wouldn't be caught by Filch or Mrs. Norris.
"Hi Fred" said Katie.
"Hey Katie you look nice, I think, I can't really tell in the dark, but I'm sure look nice you always do" said Fred.
As they walked through the tunnel Katie started to her voices coming from deeper within tunnel. She gave Fred a quick look to see if he was hearing them too, to make sure she wasn't going crazy and Fred had a strange look on his face as well.
"Fred," whispered Katie, "I don't think we're alone."
"I know, Katie take out your wand too, just in case the person in here isn't friendly" said Fred.
As they quickly ran deeper into the tunnel they could see two outlines of a boy and a girl and as they got closer they realized it was George and Alicia.
"George?" said Fred.
"Fred what are you doing her with Katie?"
"I could ask you the same thing."
"Well I'm here going on a date with Alicia" said George.
"And I'm here on date with Katie" said Fred.
"Wait you two are dating?" asked Katie.
"Yeah George asked me on a date last week" said Alicia.
"Oh my gosh, that's so cute. George you asked a girl on a date that's so great" said Katie and Fred started to laugh as George looked embarrassed.
"Thanks Katie" said Fred not really meaning it.
"Come on Katie, let's go back to the castle and let these two have their date, we can go out tomorrow" said Fred as they walked back through the tunnel towards the castle.
"That's so nice though that George and Alicia are dating, I know George really liked her" said Katie.
"Yeah it is good" agreed Fred.
As they walked back to the Gryffindor common room silently as to make sure that they didn't get caught they found the Fat Ladies portrait and whispered the password. When they walked in the found the common room completely empty.
"Well goodnight Katie" said Fred.
"Good night" said and did something she never thought she would ever do. She grabbed his shoulders put her face up to his and kissed him. When she back away from him she just looked at him wondering if she should have done what she just did.
"Well that was pleasant" said Fred.
Katie then just started to laugh and Fred started to laugh too. When they were finally done laughing they went back to their dorms.
When Leanne saw Katie walk into their dorm she was surprised to see Katie coming back so early.
"What happened?" asked Leanne.
"Oh we saw George and Alicia in the tunnel and decided to come back" said Katie.
"Really? They're dating, that's so cute" whispered Leanne to make sure she didn't wake up her and Katie's other roommates.
"I know that's what I said, and guess what?" said Katie
"What?" said Leanne back.
"Me and Fred kissed goodnight" said Katie who was still blushing from the moment.
"That's amazing! What was like?"
Katie thought for moment and the only words she could come with was "Awkwardly perfect"
As Fred walked back to his dorm he thought about that last kiss thinking about how lucky he was to be dating Katie and how awkward yet perfect their first kiss together was. He was also excited to see what would happen the next night.
