Eating at the Great Hall, the Weasley twins bombarded her, "Oi Charlie

Eating at the Great Hall, the Weasley twins bombarded her, "Oi Charlie!" they chanted together; both of them sat between her. Giving a peace sign to them because she couldn't say anything with her mouth full of blueberry pie. Swallowing the contents she said, "What's up boys?" George leaned in on her, "How have you been?" Charlie was quick to move back, "I'm fine." she answered. Fred, who was on the other side did just the same, "Are you sure you're fine?" he asked her; Charlie just nodded her head as she wore a puzzled look on her face.

There was a silence as she continued to eat, while the boys sat there twiddling their fingers and shaking their leg. With the way these two boys are, she knew that they were up to something. Still she continued to eat, while Fred cleared his throat, making her stop for a bit. Slowly she continued to eat, grabbing a big chunk of blueberry and stuffing it in her mouth. Chewing her food in a slow manner, she was waiting for someone to say something. Then George cleared his throat.

Finally Charlie put her fork down, swallowing the rest of the food, "Okay, what's with the questions?" she asked them. Quickly they both started, "We're glad you asked," Fred started it off, "Because we were worried that you were unhappy." George said. Fred continued on, "Unhappy because of the things that are going on in school," George butted in, "especially between you and Cedric." Charlie cocked her eyebrow, she didn't say anything. While the boys waited for her to say something, "Well?" they both asked her in unison. Charlie wanted to smile for a minute but kept a straight face, "May I ask why?" she asked them. George and Fred both looked at each other and started to shrug their shoulders, "Well, we were wondering if you were still angry with him," Fred asked, "Since you haven't been fighting," George went on, "Or yelled at him," Fred joined in, "Or haven't been the talk of the school." they both said in unison. This was a little odd for Charlie to hear the boys say this, "I don't have a problem with him now and I don't think he has a problem with me." she said in assuring tone. Fred and George just gave each other a coy smile, Charlie knew that what they were going to say next wasn't going to be good, and "Boys . . ." she scolded them, "What are you not telling me."

They boys were quick to change their facial expression, it was now a rather grim look as if they were at a funeral, "We just wanted to let you know that," Fred looked at George and shook his head, "That what?" Charlie asked, "Cedric is happy!" George said. Charlie gave a small laugh, "And you want me to be angry about that?" asking them. George was quick to answer, "No of course not! We were just wondering if you knew why?" Charlie just shook her head, "He thinks he's going to win the next qudditch game and he's getting cocky? I don't know why?" answering him. Fred just smiled and said, "Nice try though. I just thought you knew he was going to the Halloween ball with Ann."

Charlie's head was empty for a bit, staring at the cold brick wall. Shrugging her shoulders she said, "No I didn't know." stuffing her face now with the rest of the blueberry pie. George patted her back, "We're sorry for your loss." he told her, Charlie looked at him, "Why?" she asked him with a full mouth, "We knew that you really like him and-" Charlie started to cough since she was choking, the boys patted her back to let it out. Quickly swallowing it, Fred handed her a cup of water and drank it down. Inhaling deeply to pull her self together, "No George, I don't like him." telling him in a deep and serious tone. Feeling insulted by his comment she stood up in an angry manner, "Good night boys." she told them and walked out of the Great hall.

The boys quickly stood up and followed her, "Come on Charlie, you can't tell me that you never had an interest in him-" George told her, "Everyone knows how much you guys fight, that has to say that you like each other." Fred continued. Charlie shook her head and gave a cheeky laughter, "How does fighting equal liking each other?" Fred who was trying to stop her by standing in front of her, but she continued to walk on, so he walked backwards, "It doesn't matter because you were friends before. You guys liked each other-" Charlie scoffed at his comment while her voice was slowly getting louder, "As a friend, Fred! He was my friend, past tense!" correcting him.

George copied Fred, "So that doesn't mean you can't be friends again!" Charlie shrugged her shoulders, "You're right. Doesn't mean we can't be friends again, but at the moment, it doesn't look like we're getting anywhere." she told them. Then Charlie quickly grabbed on to their shirt, and tugged them towards her when a group of girls were coming. The boys were close to colliding into them.

Finally they came to a halt, "Okay boys, you've never asked me questions like this. You've never got into my personal business, until now. What are you guys doing?" she asked them in a serious but calm tone.

Fred and George gave each other a nod, "Let's just say that we want to get rid of Ann more then you do." George said in a quiet tone. Charlie was surprised, she wasn't expecting him to say something like this, crossing her arms and loosening up she said, and "What do you have in mind?" she asked them. Fred gave a coy smile, "The ball is coming up. Do you have a date?" asking her, Charlie just shook her head, "What's this have to do with Cedric?"

Giving a smug smile to her he said, "Now you do!" George told her proudly. Squinting her eyes, "What?" Charlie was obviously confused, "You're taking Cedric." George said. Shaking her head at him, "You told me he was going with Ann-" telling him but Fred lifted his finger up to stop her, "Who says you have to have one date?" Contemplating on what he had just said, Charlie was trying to think what they had in mind but it was hard when there were insinuating.

"Are you insinuating something rather cruel?"

"Probably." Fred answered.

"How is this going to affect her?"

"You'll find out by the end of the night of the Halloween ball." George said in a sad tone.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Distract him."

"How?"

"Any way you can. Just make sure he has his attention to you."

"Leave the rest to us. The object is to make her jealous."

"Jealous? Why?"

"All in good time Charlie, all in good time."

"Until then, let's keep it between the three of us."

"So you're not going to let me in on the prank?"

"Prank? Who said it was a prank?" George told her with an innocent voice, Charlie's mouth dropped open, "You're kidding me?" she blurred out. George and Fred both nodded and walked away, "Good night Charlie!" they both hollered. Rubbing her face in frustration she walked back to the common room to think.

Passing Faye in the common room she hollered, "Oi Charlie! Guess what?" Charlie still wore a puzzled look on her face while facing her attention to Faye, "What?" asking her. Noticing that Charlie's expression was odd, "What's the matter?" asking in a concern tone, Charlie just shook her head and said, "Nothing, just thinking." Faye was quick to brush it off since she was excited and was jumping up and down. Giggling and blushing as she stood in front of Charlie, getting annoyed with her Charlie was quick to say, "Well spit it out before you barf on me with all this excitement!" Covering cheeks then leaning in she quietly said, "Guess who asked me to the Halloween ball?" Charlie frowned and bit her lip; it really was a mystery as to who had asked her, shrugging her shoulder she tried to say in a happy and interest tone, "Uh, I really don't know!" Faye rolled her eyes while she jumped again, "George!" she screamed out in happiness.

"Oh yeah George!" trying to sound interested but she was failing.

"Yeah! George!" Faye screamed it out with glee.

"George! Wait, George?" Charlie was confused.

"George! He asked me!"

"Which George? There's a bunch of George's-"

"Seriously Charlie, what other George do you know?"

"There's one in Hufflepuff-"

"Weasley!"

"WEASLEY?"

"George Weasley, asked me to go with him to the Halloween ball!"

"You're kidding. He asked you to go the ball?"

"Do you want me to say it again Charlene?"

"Hey, watch it!"

"Sorry- but I'm just saying that I've been asked to the Halloween ball. This is so cool! At least I know I'm not going stag like the rest of the girls-" she stopped when she looked at Charlie who was now gazing at the wall. Realizing that Charlie didn't have a date herself, she felt guilty for saying that. Closing her eyes in guilt, she apologized, but Charlie just shook her head, "It doesn't matter." telling her. Faye walked away in guilt while Charlie stood there still gazing at the wall, quietly she said, "Because, I apparently have a date."
