A Tangled Web We Weave

Fred Weasley has always been my crush. And he has always been off limits. I swear, if I wasn't shy it might've been me instead of Angelina he was kissing in the common room. If I spoke up in that first week of first year I might be on his lap right now. But now I'm stuck writing my stupid thoughts in this stupid diary.

You might be wondering why I don't have a crush on George instead of Fred. The answer can be summed up in one word. Katie. Yes, my friend, Katie Bell, has a crush on George. And he would have a crush on her if he didn't have a crush on me. It's a tangled web we weave, isn't it.

Me, Angelina, Fred, George and Lee Jordan has always been friends. We first met on our first train ride to Hogwarts. Angelina sat on a rat trap the twins set up and slapped them both across the face. Lee and I were laughing about it. Then Fred (yes, even at our first meeting I knew it was him) turned his hazel eyes on us told us to shut it. He and Fred had identical marks on their faces as red as their identical hair.

Katie came a year later. We were laughing about how Fred and George literally gave their little brother Ron "fiery red hair" when she walked in. She was shy, like me, and was instantly smitten with a Weasley twin, like me. Luckily, for her, it wasn't the same Weasley twin. Lee Jordan had set his eye on her though, even though she and George would've made a cute couple. Almost as cute as Fred and I would be together.

Katie's laughing about some joke George made. It's really heartbreaking to see how much she cares about him and yet he takes no notice of her. They are really good friends though, George can always think of something to make Katie laugh and Katie can always remind and make George do his homework. She was the reason she kept the Weasley twins from failing. She was the responsible one of our group. That's why Fred and George nicknamed her "Mum".

Lee's staring at Angelina and Fred. No, I should correct myself. He's glaring at Fred and staring at Angelina. Lee has always been kind of romantic. I mean, he's always been hitting on Angelina since he started announcing Quidditch games when Angelina was playing. I wish a guy would do that to me. No, I wish Fred would do that to me. I've dreamed up the scene many times before. Fred sending a Bludger to Lee's head while Fred takes controls the megaphone. He confesses his undying love for me and flies over to me. He's about to kiss me... then Angelina comes and wakes me up so I don't skip breakfast, or Quidditch practices, or classes. I swear, that girl has the sixth sense about my dreams, always wakes me up as soon as I'm about to kiss her crush. It's an unfair fact of life,

George has just started hitting on me. Urgh, I loathe it when he does that. Why can't he go hit on Katie, huh?

Oh my god! He actually started hitting on her! I think he read what I wrote! Including the part about me liking his brother! His twin brother who is his best friend in the whole world and that he probably shares everything with! I am so dead! God, please don't let George tell Fred about that!

Angelina just told me to stop hyperventilating, Yeah, she can relax. She doesn't have her crush's twin brother reading her diary. I decided to go upstairs to my dormitory to do my Transfiguration homework. Really it was to get away from Fred and Angelina. And to get away from George reading my diary!

Katie just came up. She really is the sweetest person I've ever known. She always cares for us, she always helps us with homework because she is really smart as well. If only George could see that. It would make Katie happier and sweeter than she already is. So, Katie came upstairs and started to wrap her arm around my shoulder.

"Is it Fred, 'Licia?" she asked me. I nodded. "Aw, it's alright, girl. I'm here for you." I said thank you to her. Katie was the most wonderful person I have ever met and the prettiest too. She had thick, chocolate brown hair and really caring dark blue eyes. George was a fool to not go out with her, I don't know why he was so obsessed with me. I had dirty blonde shoulder length hair and plain brown eyes. Why would he like me when he could like someone like Katie? Fred liking Angelina was easy to understand. She was exotic, Puerto Rican or Hispanic or something, with dark, shiny, raven hair and tan skin. She had vivacious black eyes with long lashes and was Quidditch captain to top it all of. She was outgoing, athletic and fun. She was my best friend but I couldn't help being jealous of her. Not when she had three things I most desired: beauty, self-confidence and Fred Weasley. She did not know how lucky she was.

That next morning I had Potions. It was one of the three classes I had with Fred Weasley. As you see, the Weasley twins had three classes, transfiguration, charms and potions, all key to the career of professional prankster and joke shop owner. Anyways, that morning Angelina wasn't there. Which pretty much made potions duller than usual without Angelina's notes cheering me up. Even though I Fred and george set up a Weasley rocket in their potion,which exploded in Snape's face when he was examining it. They both got a T and a detention.But I didn't know about what happened to Angelinauntil Katie told me after class.

"Oh my God! Did you hear?" she asked me really excitedly. "No, I didn't hear about anything except Dragon blood," I joked. I could be real witty at times and obviously Katie didn't get the joke.

"Fred and Angelina broke up! Apparently, he kissed you and now she is really pissed at you, but Fred is single! Why didn't you tell me about the kiss?" she said, all excited about it. When Katie finally caught her breathe I said, "But I didn't kiss Fred Weasley." I didn't kiss him! I wish I did, but I didn't. And I couldn't bear to tell Katie the real answer.
