~Scarlett~ (A/N and this chapters all over the place)

I grumbled to myself as I walked to the courtyard, pulling my coat around me as the cold wind stung my skin. Sticking my hands in my pockets, I shuffled through the snow, trying to make my way to the tall figure ahead of me.

"You came!" Jeremy smiled brightly, holding his arms out. Reluctantly, I walked into his arms, allowing him to wrap his long arms around me.

'You're doing this for Fred,' I reminded myself.

"Of course I did," I returned the hug, smiling big at him.

I'm so going to hate this.

He glanced curiously at me, but grinned nonetheless.

"Look, Jeremy, I'm sorry that I've been so short with you recently," I sighed. "I've been really stressed lately."

"It's quite alright, Love," Jeremy chuckled.

"Did you have something planned?" I asked, thinking back to when Jeremy asked me to meet with him here the other day after I talked to George.

"Yes actually," Jeremy grinned, grabbing my hand and pulling me along the courtyard. A bench against the stone wall was set up with blankets and candies from Honeydukes.

"Aww this is cute," I smiled, wanting to gag at the sight of Liquorice Wands.

Fred knows how much I hate those.

"Come sit," Jeremy said, pulling me down on the bench next to him.

"So why are you doing this?" I wondered aloud, looking over at him questioningly.

"Cause I like you," he grinned.

"Y-you like me?" I stuttered, my eyes widening.

Well that was easier than I thought it'd be.

"Yeah."

Before I could even process what was happening, he leaned in and pushed his lips against mine.

His lips were dry and cracked, and he was putting so much force into it it was hurting my teeth. I felt his tongue slide into my mouth and I wanted to gag as I just sat there and let him believe I was enjoying it.

If this is what George thought was best for me to win Fred back over, than I suppose I could go along with it for a little bit.

Jeremy pulled back, panting slightly as he glanced at me with a grin.

"Scarlett, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked.

"W-what?" I breathed out, not quite sure if I heard him correctly.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He repeated.

"You don't think we're going a little to fast?" I laughed nervously.

"Not at all," Jeremy denied. "I think we're meant to be, Scarlett Carina."

I internally cringed at the use of my middle name, and wanted to run away screaming at the fact that I was about to have to agree.

"Y-yeah," I nodded, giving him a fake smile.

Jeremy grinned before kissing me again.

"And then he made me eat the Liquorice Wand and it was so gross!" I gagged as I told George everything that happened.

"Well would you've rather him make out with you?" George questioned.

I huffed at his question. "I'd rather eat a hundred Liquorice Wands then have him even peck me again."

George smiled sympathetically at me. "I know how much you hate it, but he was the easiest option. I mean c'mon! You're already dating him!"

I only glared at him.

"Before you know it, Fred'll be begging you to be with him," George assured me.

"And what about you?" I asked him.

"What about me?" He knitted his eyebrows together.

"Are you gonna have to kiss some girls dry lips?" I questioned, shuddering at the thought of kissing Jeremy.

"I don't know if I'll have too," George shrugged.

"What? You're going to make me suffer alone!" I wailed dramatically.

George rolled his eyes at me. "Once Fred's coming back to you, I can swoop in and be next to Angelina while she gets over Fred."

"George, I don't know if this is a good idea," I sighed, rethinking everything we've been doing.

"Trust me, Scarlett. There's no other way."

~Fred~

"Angelina, I don't know if this is a good idea," I mumbled, looking down at our hands.

"Trust me, Fred. There's no other way," Angelina said, tightening her grip on my hand as she pulled me into the Great Hall.

All eyes were on us as we walked to the Gryffindor table, hand in hand. A few people whispered to each other, some glared, and some even cheered.

But I didn't really care for the ones who supported it, cause that wasn't what I needed.

Sighing, I sat down next to Angelina, who started talking to Alicia and Lee. Her hand still held mine, squeezing it every time I tried to slide my hand out of hers.

Giving up, I put my chin in my free hand and tuned everyone out. Not paying any attention but to the entrance of the Great Hall where students were coming in and out to eat. Even then I didn't think twice about who was walking through until Scarlett came in.

Holding hands with Jeremy Dawson.

I groaned slightly, cringing at the sight of them.

Jeremy was one of the backup Chasers, and had only ever played every once in awhile. He was good – no one could deny that – but he wasn't as good as the girls.

That may sound like a likable person, but he's not. At all. He's a snobby person and always breaks girls hearts.

I would think Scarlett would know that.

I groaned again as Scarlett and Jeremy started walking towards us. George a little ways behind them. Scarlett waved, smiling her beautiful smile.

"Hey!" Scarlett grinned, taking a seat across from me. Jeremy sat on her left and George sat on her right.

"Hello," I muttered, scanning Jeremy. His hand was now around her shoulders, and she was leaning into his side.

"Who's this, Scar?" Katie asked, taking a seat next to Alicia, who was next to Lee on my right.

"This," Scarlett started, smiling at Jeremy, "is my boyfriend."

The girls gasped, but other than that everyone was just staring in shock. Including myself.

"B-But I thought you liked Fred," Angelina stuttered.

I nudged her with my elbow, sending her a glare.

Scarlett scowled at her. "I thought I did too."

"Erm...well good on you, Scarlett," Katie smiled at her. Scarlett smiled back.

"Uh, Scarlett." I cleared my throat awkwardly, gaining her attention. "Can I talk to you outside?"

Scarlett raised her eyebrow at me but agreed, sliding out of Jeremy's embrace and walking with me towards the entrance. I didn't speak until we were outside in the corridor, students passing us every once in awhile.

"What is it you're wanting to talk about?" Scarlett asked, leaning against the wall and crossing her arms over her chest.

"I thought you liked me?"

Scarlett's hands fell to her side and a scowl reappeared on her adorable yet angry face.

"Seriously?!" She spat. "Okay yeah! I liked you! I really liked you! But now I like Jeremy."

"How can you just get over that?! You moved on so quickly!" I exclaimed.

"So?!" She scoffed, flailing her arms.

"I just think it's weird that you're already dating someone," I muttered.

"It's my life! I'll date who I want to date!" Scarlett's eyes were starting to fill with tears, making my heart ache.

I didn't really know what to say to her. I knew she was right, but it felt so weird. I didn't want her to date someone. I didn't even want her to look at someone.

I wanted her to be mine and mine only.

"Say something!" Scarlett screamed, gaining a few glares from some of the people passing.

"I-I don't know, Scarlett," I shrugged.

Scarlett huffed, wiping her tears with her sleeve. "Why do you even care? It's not like you like me."

I wanted to tell her how wrong she is. How much I like her. How much I love her.

But I can't.

"No..I don't," I sighed. "But I do care about you."

Another tear rolled down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it away.

"Look, I'm with Jeremy now, and you're with Angelina. Why don't we just continue as f-friends?" Scarlett stated.

I nodded, looking down at the floor. That's not what I wanted at all. But maybe Jeremy can make her happy.

"I'm gonna go back in with Jeremy," she stated, giving me one last glance before walking away.

But I don't think I can ever be happy without her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This story is all over the place! I feel like I'm working so hard to keep this schedule going that the updates are getting smaller and they're not as good. It's sort of frustrating me cause I want to write this to the best of my ability, but having a schedule makes me feel good about myself. It makes me feel more organized and it's keeping me from stressing.

If these are really that bad please just tell me and I'll drop the schedule I guess and spend more time on chapters.

Also, I still don't have any questions so please, if you have anything at all you want to ask me, please do! I love answering your questions!

That's about it, so I hope you all have an amazing day! I love you! Adios!
