So excited because I've always wanted to do a variation on the marriage law!
I know all the dates and stuff are inaccurate. Poetic license dictates that I can change everyone's ages for my own convenience. JK Rowling won't mind I'm sure.
It goes like this:
Angelina, Katie, Alicia, Warrington and Montague are 17
Marcus Flint is 18 (repeating 7th year)
Draco, Hermione, Ginny and Blaise are 16.
We're also ignoring Draco's mission for the time being. He can do it next year…
Mainly going to be Katie and Flint based but everyone else is very important to the story... except Harry and Ron because I'm not even sure who i want them with. Suggestions welcome!
Katie Bell despised Marcus Flint. But that didn't mean she didn't feel attracted to him.
Katie Bell was beautiful; with blonde hair, angel blue eyes and creamy skin.
Katie Bell was talented. Katie Bell was popular. Katie Bell was sweet and innocent.
Katie Bell had a thing for Marcus Flint.
Marcus Flint desired Katie Bell. But that didn't mean he did anything about it.
Marcus Flint was sexy; muscular build, black messy hair and dark soul reading eyes.
Marcus Flint was a Quiditch superstar. Marcus Flint was a leader. Marcus Flint was dangerous and threatening.
Marcus Flint would get Katie Bell no matter what.
So it was like this at the beginning of Katie's sixth year at Hogwarts. Marcus Flint was repeating his seventh year.
Katie sat on the train with her best friends Alicia Spinnet and Angelina Johnson. Angelina was secretly seeing Graham Montague. Not even her best friends knew.
They chatted about Quiditch, compared tactics, gossiped about their peers, discussed Hogsmeade weekends and summed up their holidays.
They were excited to be back. Alicia was anxious to get away from the pressures of her family who were eager for her to marry. Angelina was eager to see Montague again after months without seeing him. Katie was looking forward to getting back on the pitch.
They couldn't know what the year held.
Marcus flint was furious to be returning to Hogwarts for another year. He had already been offered a place on the Falcons and was eager to start playing 'real Quiditch'. But no. He was back in this hellhole for another year. But at least he would see Bell again.
Montague was secretly seeing Angelina. He had been craving her all summer, but was too proud to write. He was worried she wouldn't agree to meet him this year. He had to see her.
Cassius Warrington disapproved of everything and everyone he met. He had never been impressed by any other human being. They were all flawed, unaccomplished, undesirable. This year the pressure was on for him to select a wife. He couldn't imagine finding anyone good enough for him.
They talked about Quiditch, listened to Flints new tactics for the year, complained about their holidays and commented on the weather.
They were unprepared for what was in store.
Ginny, Hermione, Harry and Ron sat together in a compartment. They were the merriest group. They laughed at Ron's eating habits, they teased Hermione's love of books. They talked Quiditch- to Hermione's boredom, they talked study- to everyone else's boredom, they talked girls- to Hermione and Ginny's disgust, and they talked boys- to Harry and Ron's disgust. They chatted about their holidays.
Hermione was secretly thinking about a silver-eyed boy as she and Ginny discussed the sexiest men in Hogwarts. Ginny was secretly thinking about her own Slytherin crush, a gorgeous Italian.
Harry and Ron were as usual oblivious, or as they put it, "had more important things to think about"- like food and Quiditch.
They were excited for their future.
Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini were ignoring their friends and instead chatted quietly to each other. Pansy was ignoring Knott's advances and Crabbe and Goyle were arm wrestling.
Draco was worried about his mother, with the first sparks of war igniting. Blaise was angry with his father, who was remarrying, again. Their conversation was less then half hearted.
It was in this way the students arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They would leave it very different people.
They were in for the shock of their lives. The best and the worst moments would now take place. In one year, everything would change.
Things were about to get interesting.
Already writing the next chapter!
