**Alex’s POV**
I sit and stare at Fred. He’s sitting with George and Scarlett who are back to normal. The three of them are talking and laughing.
“Alex?”
I look around at Jace. He’s watching me as I drip ink all over my essay.
“You can work things out with him, you know,” he says, siphoning the ink off with his wand. I shake my head.
“I messed it all up,” I sigh, “I was just so angry…”
“I know,” he says, “but Fred really likes you. Just tell him you’re sorry.”
I watch Fred as he flicks ink at Scarlett. I wish I was over there with him.
“Ask him out.”
“What?” I look around at Jace again.
“There’s a Hogsmeade visit tomorrow,” he says, “send him a note asking him to meet you there and work things out.”
I stare at Jace for a moment.
“Do you think it’d-”
“Alex, I wouldn’t be telling you to do it if I didn’t think it would work,” he points out, “now, stop being a wimp, toughen up and ask him out!”
He shoves a blank piece of parchment at me.
“What do I say?” I ask.
“To my darling Fred-”
“No, seriously.”
“Yo, bitch-”
“Jace, really?”
“Sup, sexy?”
I can’t help laughing at him. Jace grins.
“Just write ‘Fred, sorry about everything. I want to work things out. If you want to, meet me tomorrow at’,” Jace shrugs, “wherever.”
“The Shrieking Shack?”
“Wow, Al, you’re a closet romantic!”
“Sarcasm noted,” I smirk, “at least it’ll be private.”
“That’s true,” Jace nods, “oh, before you go there, go to Honeydukes and get one of those huge love-heart lollipops.”
“Okay,” I laugh.
Dear Fred,
I’m sorry about the way I’ve been acting lately. I was wondering if we could talk tomorrow? I’ll be down by the Shrieking Shack at ten.
Alex xoxo
I fold it up carefully then pack up my stuff and hand it to Jace.
“Throw it at him once I’m upstairs, will you?” I ask.
“Sure, I’ll be the messager pigeon,” he says. I grin at him and run upstairs. I sure hope this works.
At ten o’clock the next day I’m waiting near the Shrieking Shack with a huge chocolate heart and a box of Bertie Botts. I feel so nervous that I’m convinced I’m going to throw up. I’m nervous that he will turn up and more nervous that he won’t. When I hear footsteps I feel my heart throw itself into my mouth.
“Hey,” Fred says, walking over to me.
“I got you these,” I say, handing him the candy. He looks down at them and smiles.
