Hello! Welcome to my new story, with an actual plot! Aha.
I might not update this one as much, because Angie, Can't We Just Find A Way? is my first priority. I still want to end up with 100 on that one!

This story is kind of like my baby, and I'm not sure if it's going to go over well or not. -shrugs- I guess we'll see!
Summary: Everything changed the day that Chloe Walker set her eyes on Fred Weasley. Will Angelina be able to handle the sickening pair, and, more importantly, will she be able to stop it?

This story is going to have a soundtrack, because I always have to incorporate music somehow. XD
Soundtrack for this chapter:
"Misery Business" - Paramore; "Neighbors" - The Academy Is...; "Kiss My Sass" - Cobra Starship ft. Travis McCoy; "Love You Much Better" - The Hush Sound; "Be Still My Heart" - The Postal Service; "Coffee Shop Soundtrack" - All Time Low; "Still Around" - 3OH!3; "Stolen" - Dashboard Confessional.


Misery Business.

Chapter One: Let's Take It From The Top.

There always seems to be a boy involved, doesn't there? Oh, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's take it from the top, shall we?

My name's Angelina Johnson. I'm sixteen years old, in my penultimate year at school. Oh, yeah, and I'm a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Go figure.

Then there is Fred Weasley. He's pretty much my best friend, besides Alicia and Katie. Our friendship began when he offered to be my Potions partner in first year. I was tall, dark, and gawky, while he was short, pale and outgoing. He's grown a lot since then, naturally. In height, not maturity. He towers over me nowadays, and some days he even has the nerve to call me short. Believe me, I have never been short.

Anyways, Fred was cute and obnoxious and hilarious and rude and sweet and totally clueless. I mean, I'd been in love with him since fourth year.

Yeah, Fred was "that guy".

You know the worst part? He had a skanky, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, Ravenclaw girlfriend: Chloe Walker. It was like they were attached at the hip or something; I swear it was like I never saw him any more. He and that bimbo were always sucking face in some empty classroom. It was pretty ridiculous.

Like most normal students, I had a tendency to stare out the window and daydream in several of my classes. (I say several because some, like Care of Magical Creatures, which takes place outside, and Potions, which is in the dungeons, do not, in fact, have windows. It is very tiresome.) Most of the time, I daydreamed in Charms, partly because I actually have a natural knack for Charms, and partly because we have double Charms with the Ravenclaws. So, you guessed it, Chloe and Fred were pretty much all over each other. It made me sick.

I was staring out the window today in Charms, watching the October leaves flutter in the autumn breeze. Naturally, my daydreams involved a certain red-headed boy, and in this particular installment, he was touching my face with his long, pale fingers, tracing my lips gracefully. But sadly, I was jerked out of this one pretty quickly when Chloe Walker herself started talking to me.

"Hey, Angie?" I glared at her. No one called me Angie besides Fred. No one.

"It's Angelina."

"Oh, well, Fred calls you..." I glared at her some more. "Umm, anyways, I was wondering if you could, like, trade me seats?"

I gawped at her. Of course. Fred usually sat right next to me, and he'd be in here any minute.

"Umm, I guess..." I answered, slowly.

"Oh, thanks so much!" She was practically gushing. I couldn't stand gushing girls, especially gushing girlfriends of Fred Weasley.

"Yeah, whatever," I muttered as I moved to sit next to Alicia.

As I sat down, Alicia raised an eyebrow at me. "Kicked out by Miss Priss?" she asked knowingly.

I nodded moodily. Alicia took the hint and doesn't say much until the end of class.

The bell rang shrilly. I hurried up and gathered all my supplies, shoving them into my bag. I saw Chloe leaning towards Fred out of the corner of my eye. Swiftly, I darted out the door.

"Hey, Ange, wait up!" I heard behind me. I looked over my shoulder to see Alicia speed-walking breathlessly behind me. "God, what's got your panties in a twist?"

I looked at her sourly. "You know what."

"Oh, yeah. Fred and Miss Priss. Got it. Sorry, temporary insanity."

I gave her a sarcastic smile. "Yeah, now you remember."

We walked in silence for a couple of minutes.

"You know what?" I looked at Alicia inquisitively. She went on. "I was thinking... we should get rid of the wench."

Bewilderment clouded my features. "What, sabotage Chloe Walker?"

Alicia grinned evilly at me. "Exactly."

"But how? I mean, she and Fred are always together. And if he finds out, he'll be sooo pissed."

She looked at me knowingly. "Oh, you'll see. Meet me in the library during free period. I'm inviting Lee and George along too. They'll be as much a part of this as we will. Oh, and Katie will be, too, but she has McGonagall, so she can't skip. Oh, well, we'll fill her in later."

Alicia was going way too fast for me to comprehend. "Wait, what are you talking about?"

"You'll see," she repeated. "Library. Free period."

And then she's gone, and I'm standing confusedly in the hallway, students walking around me in all directions. What had just happened??


Wow. I'm actually gonna post it. Ahaa.
If you actually want to read the rest (and I don't blame you if you don't),
Then you know what to do.
REVIEW!
I'll probably go set up the playlist now. Hehe.

Peace, love, and review!
