Oh and having sets this: Oliver in his 7th year. Fred, George, Katie and Angelina in their 6th year. Alicia in her 6th year as well (just trying to make it a bit easier). : ) The 3rd Harry Potter book is changed with this fic to make it different.

Ok to chapter 1: The return of the students.

Katie Bell, rushed towards platform 9 and ¾, "Hurry mum we are going to be late!" Yelled the very anxious Katie. She looked around, hoping that the gates haven't shut on her yet.

"What about Sam!" Sam was her new owl after her last one never came back from delivering a letter. Katie had always thought that he left on free will but that rarely happened.

"Oh Merlin!" Katie cursed, "You will just have to send him to me!" She yelled back to her mother, 'not far away now!' She thought as she reached platform 9. Katie stopped and hit a large figure in front of her.

The man spun around, "I'm sorry did I-" His eyes widened, "Katie!" He opened his arms and rapped them around Katie's Body. 'Oh I wish he would do this more often.' She thought, "Hey Ollie! How was your summer?"

"Good, thanks for owling me during the brake, mum was trying to teach me how to use muggle appliances so I really needed some civilisation." Oliver said, "Sam is sure a better flyer than your old owl, didn't even need to peck me till I gave him a treat!"

Katie smiled then looked at her watch, "We better get going!" Oliver, being the gentleman he was let Katie go through first, soon after he followed, allowing her plenty of time to move from the wall.

When, Katie had walked through the wall, she was greeted with several Gryffindor friends and spectators of quidditch. Katie looked around, hoping she will see her close friends, Angelina, Alicia and the troublesome duo; Fred and George.

She shrugged it off, not seeing anyone yet. 'Fred and George will be late and Ali and Ange's will be on the train' she thought. Katie remembered Oliver waiting on the other side so she took a few steps forward to let him through.

Oliver came rushing in, "The twins are just arriving, which means the train will be leaving very soon." He commented. Katie nodded and together they boarded the train.

Oliver took a seat in an empty compartment, "I couldn't find where Alicia and Ange's was so fortunately I found this one. Didn't want to share with Flint did we!"

"Yeah, I would rather eat a vomit flavoured bertie bott's every flavoured beans than stay with Marcus Flint!" Katie screwed up her face when saying his name, "Thinks he's the best just because all the girls in Slytherin want to go out with him." Marcus Flint was a boy in Slytherin. He was captain of the Slytherin quidditch team and had it in for the Gryffindor team, especially Katie.

"Yeah did you see Beryl Bonnets eyeing him last year, we all heard that the most gorgeous girl likes him but he is still to good for her. No one even likes Beryl." Oliver said but his mind wandered back to his one true love, "Do you think we have a chance at winning the cup this year?"

Katie sighed her best friend couldn't take his mind off quidditch for one second, "If Potter is as good as he has been, I think we will have a good chance!" Katie laughed, "You must've been dying without quidditch over the holidays."

"Bell, I have a life outside quidditch." He motioned her to sit next to him. Without a thought Katie stood up and sat next to Oliver, "And what may I ask is in your life that isn't quidditch?"

"Oh my best friend Katie Bell," Oliver looked over to Katie and started playing with her golden blonde hair, "And if my best friend would be practicing during her holiday."

Katie faked a smile, 'Best friend that's all I will ever be to you' she thought but rested her hear against his chest. Oliver just continued to play with he hair as Katie drifted off.

"Here they are, George, Fred, Alicia!" Angelina yelled as she opened the compartment door. This startled Katie as she woke up and fluttered her eyes. "God Ol can you tell me next time I drift off." Katie said as she rubbed her eyes. "Sorry but you looked so peaceful." Oliver said then muttered under his breath, "And beautiful."

Fred and George entered, "Hullo Wood, gonna run us in the ground for quidditch?" Fred asked.

"And chuck a spaz (A/n: That line is for Jezzka)." George added.

"If we aren't on time."

Oliver rolled his eyes, "this year is our most important and my last year as captain. Not to mention my last year at Hogwarts so you to better cooperate." "Ooooo look Fred he's already gone mental and we've," George checked his watch, "Only been on the train for 20 minutes."

The twins turned around laughing, "We gonna check up on our brother." Both twins said in unison.

"Who do you think they will torment?" Alicia asked as she hugged Katie. Wood shrugged his shoulders, "I wish they would pay more attention to our team."

Angelina, who just hugged Katie, hit Wood on the head, "Wood you need to come down from planet quidditch for once!"

They 4 of them sat in silence for a while, Katie still leaning on Oliver and the other girls were reading Witch weekly magazine.

Percy came running past, "I will get you two!" He yelled. "Sorry mate don't know what you're talking bout." Fred laughed, his face and George's were red from probably laughing too much. A very disturbed Percy came walking pass with green warts covering his face.

"Oh my," Alicia said while trying to hold in laughs, "Come on Ange's let's- keep those- 2 out of more- trouble."

The two girls left the compartment giggling while trying to catch of to the twins.

"Well it's just us two now." Wood said but he got no response. Katie was sleeping on his chest, "Sleep well Bell." He said as he kissed her head. It was a fact that Oliver had mixed feelings about his best friend but only Percy knew this.

________________________________________________________

The train stopped suddenly making Katie wake, She stretched her hand and found herself lying on a sleeping Oliver. Katie stood up and yelled 'Ollie' out in a catchy tune.

Oliver woke up suddenly and blushed a tint of red, "Sorry must've dozed off."

Katie helped Wood up and they walked towards the door, "So what do you think Percy has done to Fred and George?" Katie asked.

Oliver grinned at the thought, "Well lets go see shall we?"

AN/ Compared to my other stories, for me this is a longer chapter. I hope you liked it and I know there is no plots yet but it's the first chapter and I will liven it up. It may seem simular to other stories but it is just the first chapter. I have action in most of my fics just to tell y'all.
