I waited away from the front desk as Hermione asked the librarian some questions, which seemed to take longer than expected. I couldn't go in the restricted section so I grabbed a random book. Fates Hand. It read. I debated actually opening it but was caught off guard by a figure.

"Ah, I see you're interested in learning about the mysterious of the unknown and known only to those who remain unknown." I tried not to roll my eyes as I looked up to see Professor Trelawney standing beside me, looking down at the book through her huge circular glasses.

"Yep" I replied, now anxious to get away from her. Lately, Divinations had been a real bore, not even Ron could make jokes about the class. The homework was getting dull, I already predicted my death three times, in three different ways in one assignment and she still gave me an O. It seemed only Lavender and Patvi were paying attention recently.

"You must be wise though my dear," she cautioned, patting my head. "It's a shame though, how little one pays attention to warnings" she added shaking her head. "But, I do think you'll find that book very interesting. I've learned quite a few helpful tips from it." I let out a low sigh, maybe this wasn't a good book.

"I wasn't exactly looking for this book, the one I want—also about Fate—is, was, in the restricted section" I explained.

"Ah, it seems the fates wants you to learn something" she said excitedly. I resisted rolling my eyes this time because the way she said fates was particular.

"You mean fate?" I asked, trying not to sound too rude.

"No" she said batting her eyes as she patted my head again. I started to ask what she meant but she walked away. I sighed again as I watched her leave, half wondering if it was really worth it to go ask her. Deciding it wasn't I took the book from the librarian, signed my name and then headed to the nearest desk to put the book inside my bag.

"Got it" Hermione said stopping at the desk just as I managed to close my bag. "Let me just go check it out and we can leave" she said running up to the front. I nodded and followed, tossing the book aside.

"Thank you" Hermione was saying as I made my way back over to her at the front of the desk.

"What was Professor Trelawney talking to you about?" Hermione asked as we quickly reached our classroom, very few students waiting but in the hall. Most of them were probably still at lunch.

"Who knows…" I replied with a roll of my eyes.

"She looked interested in the book you got" Hermione continued, trying to sound positive, even though I knew she wasn't a fan of Professor Trelawney or her class. I shrugged and I wiggled off my bag.

"What know what?" Melinda asked, now joining us.

"Oh, Tammie was talking to Professor Trelawney while we were in the library" Hermione said turning to face Melinda.

"Really? I was there too, why didn't I see you?" she asked.

"We were there for about five minutes and mostly stayed toward the front" I told her. "Listen, Fred said I could ask you what he saw, in that vision he had" I said, needing to hear it so I could try and help Fred pass it. Hermione, realizing it was a awkward conversation ducked down the hall, toward Ron and Harry. I looked back at Melinda, somewhat regretting my decision to say anything when she gave me her annoyed face. "C'mon, it can't be that bad" I said waving a hand.

"He saw you and Matt together, dating, kissing, you telling Matt you loved him and Matt saying it back, marriage. No him, no Fred in any of the images, he wasn't in your life, and…it wasn't that far into the future, like, you weren't really old. Maybe around early twenties. But no, nothing bad." The edge had become incredibly clear toward her last few words. My laugh didn't help.

"What?" I exclaimed, laughing again. "Melinda, that's—I don't know—that's the image she—is that really what he saw?" I said, unable to fully form the correct words at how ridiculous the vision sounded. Melinda was still not smiling; her face looked like stone as she stared disapprovingly at me. "Okay, listen, I don't…I don't see Matt in that light. I don't even see my life going in that direction. Marriage I mean. And, I dunno, love is a big word" I said shaking my head as I looked away. "But it's not a word I feel for Matt, I never will…" I said, still shaking my head giving a laugh of disbelief.

"I'm sure Fred would appreciate your humor on the matter much more" Melinda said sarcastically. "Because he's obviously worried about, but, it's cool, I'm sure he absolutely no reason to worry" she added, still sarcastic.

"There is no reason for him to worry" I exclaimed as the Professor walked in. I lowered my voice and leaned closer to Melinda. "Why is he so worried?" I asked but instantly reminded all the things I said at the hospital wing. "Okay, I can see why he'd be a little concerned, but it's not like, I dunno, it's not like he can't try to be with someone else, it wouldn't be the end of the world if we stayed apart" I said, though I felt my tone depress even as I said it, the thought slowly slipping into my mind. I gave a shiver, it would be the end of my world if we never got back together, I thought to myself, my stomach twisting into a knot as I tried picturing him with someone else-someone like Charity.

"Sometimes I wonder why he loves you and then I remember you're just dumb and stubborn." Melinda said fully annoyed as she turned away from me and started copying the notes from the board, though I doubted she needed any of the information on printers and fax machines. I spent the remainder of class disappointed that I always seemed to say the wrong thing aloud, even though I knew that wasn't how I felt. Unlike Draco, I didn't do it keep up appearances, but rather because I was absolutely terrified of any idea regarding love. Except the few times I spent with Fred watching the stars during the summer nights as he told jokes and funny stories, occasionally setting off red and gold sparks. I shivered again, letting the memory fade as I pretended to focus and copy down the notes.

"I do care about him Mel," I told her as we neared the last ten minutes of class. "Fred I mean, I care about him, a lot, and at this point he's the only one I can see myself with. I don't want to start over again, especially with someone like Matt…" I shook my head as I remembered Matt's words. "I know it's probably not a good thing, but, Fred knows how to hold my attention, even if it means sending me to the hospital wing-or himself, he's always on my mind" I explained, smiling a bit.

"Then why aren't you with him?" she asked tiredly. I shrugged as I glanced down at the first and only line of notes I had.

"Because I haven't made any effort" I admitted as I thought again. "But, I'm not a Malfoy, er, I'm not Draco" I said smiling wider, already knowing what I wanted to do. Melinda looked at me questionably but I shook my head as I thought of Fred's schedule. To my knowledge he was currently in Charms class, which was five or six doors over. I warded off my nerves by copying the notes for the remainder of the class, ignoring Melinda's glances. When the bell finally rang I shoved my things into my bag and hurried out.

"Oi, Weasley!" I shouted down the hall, watching two gingers start to walk in the opposite direction with Lee Jordan. All of them stopped by Fred turned around first. I felt the twist of knots again I quickly made my way over to him.

"Allen" he said politely grinning down at me. I stood on my tiptoes, which still didn't seem to make me tall enough to kiss him, but luckily he knew what I was trying to do so he leaned closer. I felt a wave of excitement and longing ran through my body as he pressed his lips against mine again. Finally I pulled away, watching him laugh as his tried to let the redness flow out of his face.

"I wanted to say hello" I told him not moving from the few inches I was from him. "And um, I'll see you in the common room later" I added as I pulled my bag up my shoulder. He didn't respond, but continued to smile as he kissed my forehead. My eyes caught Melinda, who had slowly, purposely started to walk pass, her grin completely obvious.

"Okay" Fred whispered kissing me again. I stumbled a bit as I nervously pulled on the straps of my bag walking away to catch up with Melinda. "So, this means we're back together right?" he waited to shout when there was a quite a distance between us.

"Yes" I shouted back as I laughed. Even though we were some distance away, I still heard him slapping hands with whoever he was standing next to. "Don't even say it" I told Melinda, still smiling as I glanced over at her.

"I wasn't going to say anything" she joked, her voice high. Just then I spotted Abby out of the corner of my eye, she could barely contain her smile. I gave her a small wave as her gave me the thumbs up and then gave Fred the thumbs up who nodded in agreement. Abby, with a group of her friends started pass us, most of them engrossed in their conversation but I could hear Abby, was she singing? I wondered as she strolled by. "Tammie and Freddie sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g…" she said as I felt my face as she glanced over her shoulder at me, giving me a knowing wink before continuing down the hall.

"I love first years…" Melinda said as I grabbed her arm and dragged her to class, though unable to stop smiling.
