I quickly ran into Hermione's dormitory and hid in there. I waited for George and Angelina to stop flirting and leave so I could stop hiding.

Finally.

I heard them leave the common room and I almost slammed into some second-year girls who were doing homework in their dormitory.

"Sorry," I winced and quickly ran away from them.

I paced around back and forth once I'm in my dormitory.

Do they like each other?

Should I tell the gang?

Ooh, maybe we can play matchmaker and set them up. Angelina is always complaining about how single she is.

My face lit up at the idea and I quickly thanked my brain for being so amazing before I rushed out to find the gang.

"Guys!" I cried once I found them outside. George and Angelina weren't there yet so I'll take that as an advantage.

"I think-" I held a finger out and panted, "I think George and Angelina like each other."

"We know, dumbass, where have you been lately," Katie smirked and I flip her off.

"I dunno," I mumbled, turning red.

"We were just discussing how to get them together," Ced informed me.

"I was going to suggest we play matchmaker but you're already ahead of me," I answered with a slight shrug.

"I think... I think have an idea," Alicia said snapping her fingers to get our attention.

***

"You guys got the plan right?" Alicia asked for the hundredth time. "Do I need to go over it again?"

"We're fine," Oliver assured her.

We spent the rest of the day discussing our "plan" and it was finally time to do it.

Operation Get-George-And-Angelina-Together is a go.

Also, good news! I got over my small crush on Angelina. I think it was a small thing- thank god.

I need to stop having crushes.

I can't afford to get my heart broken one more time.

Speaking of, I totally forgot about Adrian- I was too busy discussing the plan with the gang.

"I'm starving," Katie said as we entered the Great Hall.

George and Angelina were already sitting together. "Haven't seen you all day," Katie remarked and we exchanged winks.

"Homework, the usual," Angelina said and I could tell she felt bad for lying.

The plan was to eat dinner normally and try to get George and Angelina to talk more. It surprised me that they liked each other because they barely talked to each other.

Love does happen when you least expect it.

Once Dumbledore made his end-of-dinner speech, Fred winked at me and I knew it was time to do the plan.

"Goodnight everyone," he said, dismissing us all.

Katie called for Angelina to get her attention and I quickly pulled my wand out to tie Angelina and George's shoelaces together.

We didn't have much time to come up with a better plan and we only had 2 minutes to pull it off.

Cedric suggested we write Angelina's name in the clouds and make it look like it was George's idea but we had to dismiss it off because it was too dark after dinner and they wouldn't be able to see it.

Peeves- who was eavesdropping on us- offered he would pull a prank on the both of them but we decided he only said that so he would get a chance to pull a prank. Fred immediately liked the idea and wanted to pitch in but Oliver disagreed.

Oliver ended up getting soaked with ketchup-filled water balloons.

"Did you do it?" Katie whispered to me as I joined her.

"Yup," I beamed and we quickly walked out of the Great Hall.

"Where's Angelina?" Hermione asked once she looked around.

"Yeah, and where's George?" Ron added.

"You'll see," I smirked and I motioned for them- and Harry- to follow me and the crew. Cedric was already hiding and we crouched down.

"Let's look already," I whined.

I hope they're snogging by now.

We look through the glass and see the two of them on the floor.

"How tight did you tie the knot?" Oliver asked me and I shrugged.

"You told me to do the spell- so I did." 

"You better hope they untie it- I'm not lending George another pair of my shoes- he has big feet," Fred grumbled and I assured him they'll be able to untie it.

"George!" we heard Angelina's laughter and I had a feeling it was going good so far.

"D'you think we should give them their privacy?" Hermione asked.

We all exchanged looks.

"Nah."

Hermione started biting her fingernails- something she did when she was nervous. "Calm down, Mione," I assured her and she nodded. 

"Fuck, they're getting up- we should go," Oliver said and quickly stood up. Fred held his hand out but I stood up without his help.

"That's what I get for being nice," he winked at me and I shook my head with a grin.

***

"Well, well, well," Oliver said in a fatherly tone.

Angelina and George walked into the common room- both blushing violently.

It was just the gang with Hermione, Ron, & Harry. Everyone else started heading to bed after 10:00.

"What time is it, Granger?" Fred asked me and I looked at my bare wrist.

"10:30, Weasley," I reported with a firm salute. 

"Where were you?" Oliver asked with a smirk.

"Okay, fine," George sighed and looked at Angelina with a cheesy grin.

Hermione and I exchanged knowing looks.

"I just asked Angelina to be my girlfriend," he said and Katie squealed.

"Bitch you better have said yes." 

"I did," Angelina beamed and kissed George on the cheek, turning red all over again. I gave them both a cheesy grin- feeling a pang of jealousy.

"Any new Slytherins for you, Granger?" Katie asked me and everyone's eyes were on me- except Fred's. His smile had vanished and I thought of the Amortentia all over again.

"No," I shook my head- a bit too quickly but no one noticed.

"I better go before I get caught," Cedric said and we all wished him a good night as he left.

Great now Adrian's gonna be in my head all night long.
