Chapter 28

That night, Fred, George, Lee, Angelina and I begin walking towards the common room after dinner in the Great Hall. "So, I was thinking, how about we prank Professor Lockhart later? I mean, a few dung bombs in his office and classroom would surely freak him out." George suggests making the five laugh. We stop at the portrait of the Fat Lady before Angelina tells her the password and we walk inside. "So, how are we going to initiate the prank?" Fred and Lee ask, enjoying this way too much. Ange and I shake our heads before turning to the boys. "So, whilst you discuss this, Ange and I are going to go and talk in our room. So, bye." I say to the boys, waving to them as Ange grabs my hand and drags me up to the girl's dormitories. I sit down on my bed whilst Ange sits down on her bed, which is to the left of mine as I got the bed on the end. "So, what's going on with you and Fred?" Ange asks me and I look at her slightly confused.

"What are you talking about?" I ask confused.

"Oh, come on. It's so obvious that you like him." Ange explains, making me shake my head. "No, I don't like him." I object.

"Seriously, you don't even look at him differently? You don't notice a slight difference between Fred and George?" she asks me.

"Well, Fred is funnier than George, he has a deeper voice than George, his face is rounder whilst George has a longer face and his lips usually curls... up... when we talk... to each other... oh my god. I think I'm beginning to like Fred." I gasp and Angelina looks at me dumbfounded.

"And you just figured this out yourself. I could've told you last month that you liked him." Angelina tells me and I laugh at her words.

"Okay. Hang on. Just because I've only realised that I like him doesn't mean that I've always liked him." I point out to Angelina but she just laughs.

"Just keep telling yourself that." she laughs which makes me shake my head.

"Alright. Alright. Just, you can't tell the boys. Especially George or Lee because you know how much they blab to each other." I tell her sternly and she nods her head.

**************

By the time that October has arrived, a spread of a damp chill arrives over the grounds and into the castle. Fred and George had been spying on the Slytherin team a few times and had seen the speed of the Nimbus Two Thousand and One, and to say the least, they weren't happy when they had to me after coming into the common room late one night.

Angelina and I are walking towards the library after looking at the notice board near the Great Hall which informs us that the Hogsmeade trip is going to take place a few days before Halloween this year as it's a weekend and we're allowed out of school. "So, as we're going to Hogsmeade in two weeks, what do you want for your birthday this year?" she asks me. "After all, you're going to be fifteen. One of the oldest people in the year." she tells me which makes me shake my head.

"Ange. You know that I don't like saying my age out loud. It makes me sound old. Besides, I've already got everything I need. I don't need anything else." I tell her which makes her smile at me.

"Aw. But seriously, what do you want?" she asks me.

"Well, have you seen those really cute um... bracelets that have the birthstones for your birth month engraved on them?" I ask her in which she nods her head. "Well, I would quite like one of those. Some new pyjamas, mainly nighties. Um... books, and you know those uh... house bookmarks and personalised bookmarks that have your name on it and you can find in Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop that has all the quills and stationary in it, well I would quite like a few of the Gryffindor ones." I tell Angelina as we walk into the library and over to one of the tables down one of the isles of books. "Well, I think that can be arranged." she tells me before sitting on the table behind me, getting a book out of her bag and reading it whilst I sit there doing my homework.

After finishing my homework, along with helping Angelina to do hers after persuading her, both of us walk back up to the common room. Ange going to sit with the boys as I head back up to the girl's dormitories to put both of our bags by our bed for lessons on Monday. I head back down the common room to see Harry just walking in with a grim look on his face but I think nothing of it as I walk over to Fred, George, Lee and Angelina who are talking at the table in the corner of the common room. "So, what are you lot talking about?" I ask them, making Lee jump which causes us all to burst out laughing.

"Trying to find out what would happen if you fed a Filibuster firework to a salamander." George says after we have calmed down and Fred shows me the brilliant orange, a fire-dwelling lizard that we used in Care of Magical Creatures that morning and it is now smouldering gently on the table. "Hey. Fred, you're not meant to have that. Give it here." I tell him but he just rolls his eyes.

"No can do. We've rescued him." he tells me making me shake my head.

"Don't make me tell your mother that you kidnapped an innocent creature from Professor Kettleburn or the Forbidden Forest again." I warn him, glaring at the Weasley twin before he sighs and hands me the salamander. "Thank you. Now, I'm going to go to bed and then tomorrow, you two are going to come down to see Professor Kettleburn and give her back her salamander. Got it?" I ask the boys, standing up, pointing at the boys with my free hand.

"Yes, Lily." they both tell me and I nod my head before heading back up to the girl's dormitories again, putting the salamander on my desk, grabbing my wand, saying a sleeping spell before it goes to sleep. I sigh before getting changed into my nightie, cleaning my teeth, putting my hair up and heading to bed.
