Fred and you had been dating for a few months. The Yule Ball was coming up, and you were eagerly anticipating the moment when Fred would ask you out.

One evening, you were hanging out in the common room with Fred, George, Angelina and Lee. The atmosphere was as usual relaxing and cheerful. The group's conversation naturally turned to the upcoming Yule Ball.

"So, who do you reckon you'll ask out to the Yule Ball, Freddie?" George asked, a mischievous gleam in his eye.

Fred chuckled, a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders. "Actually, I've already figured that out," he replied, a sly grin on his face.

"Oh, really? And who's the lucky gal?" Lee chimed in, curiosity piqued.

Angelina sidled closer to Fred, a smug smile playing on her lips. Fred, catching her movements, chuckled and draped an arm casually around her shoulders.

With Angelina now tucked close to him, Fred continued his response, a hint of pride in his voice.

"I've decided to take Angelina. Figured she could use a bit of fun, ya know?"

George and Lee nodded, sharing a glance that showed they were both a bit taken aback by his choice.

Your heart stopped for a moment as Fred announced he’s taking Angelina to the Yule Ball. You couldn't believe your ears. You expected Fred to go with you, not Angelina.

You sat silently, unable to find the words to express your emotions. It was as if time stood still as you processed what had just happened.
