You and Fred had been friends since third year, you were both in 6th now.

He had recently gotten a girlfriend, Angelina. They have been dating since he took her to the Yule Ball.

She didn’t like you much, but you didn’t mind. It’s not like you liked Fred. You were just friends. However, because of her dislike of you, she told Fred to limit contact and that’s what he was telling you.

“Listen, I’m sorry, but right now making Angelina comfortable is my priority. I think she might be the one. You just have to understand. It’s not forever, just till she comes around.”
