"WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO TO HOGSMEADE WITH ME?"

Fred looked at Zoe quickly, turning his head to the French girls direction. She instantly flushed and covering her face with her hands, looking at him through her fingers. 

He swallowed and smiled nicely, deciding to be truthful and not accidently string her along. 

"Zoe. You're very attractive and any guy would be lucky to have you but I'm afraid I like someone else."

She seemed crestfallen but it disappeared quickly as she clapped excitedly. 

"Is it Astra?" Fred's eyes widened. Was he that obvious?

Zoe rolled her eyes playfully. "It is very obvious, I noticed the small looks you give her when you think we aren't looking. Even if you do not like me, I can help you get your true love."

The twin chuckled awkwardly. "I don't know if I love her, but yeah. I have a crush on my best friend. "

Stating it out loud made it real to Fred, but when he told his mates, Lee had blinked rather rapidly, walked out of the dorm then walked back in and laughing hysterically whilst George just gave a low whistle. 

"It's about time you admitted it." He had commented, leaning against the bed frame and falling as Fred kicked at his legs. 

Zoe didn't laugh at his crush but she did promise to help in anyway, chatting away with him at any point. He didn't notice the way that Astra looked at them, her eyes narrowing.

"Why is Fred always with her?"

Alicia glanced sideways at Astra, who had been distracted from her potions homework by looking up and seeing Fred and Zoe talking happily outside the Library windows. 

The Spinnet girl followed her gaze and shrugged, smiling slightly. "You sound like your jealous."

Astra closed her book harder than she intended, laughing incredulously. "Jealous? Please."

Alicia made a humming noise as she poured over the book, Astra watching as they moved off outside. "I just wanna see my best friend again. I only seem to see him at dinner and classes."

Alicia paused for a moment. "Maybe he's dating her." 

Astra started, spilling ink over her essay and cursing before starting to siphon it off with her wand. "Oh fuck. Do you really think that? What if he's sleeping with her?"

Alicia properly looked up from the Herbology book and stared concerned at her best friend. "I was joking. Oh my gosh, you really are jealous."

Astra frowned. "I'm not...Am I?"

She had no reason to be jealous, Fred was just her best friend. He was free to date whoever he wanted.

So why did the thought of him with anyone else piss her off so much?
