What's scarier than You Know Who? To Dennis Creevey, the answer was an angry Katie Bell.
Dennis looked up from his homework as the Gryffindor team climbed through the portrait hole after practice with what seemed to be a lot of commotion. Beaters Ritchie Coote and Jimmy Peakes were the first to enter with Chaser Demelza Robins. The three were discussing homework before the boys went upstairs. Demelza made a beeline for Colin who sat next to Dennis and slipped herself onto Colin's lap before giving him a quick kiss on the lips. "What's all that noise?" Colin asked her. "Oh, Harry and Katie are at it again," she smirked. Keeper Ron Weasley entered next arguing with Chaser sister Ginny about her chucking the Quaffle at his head on purpose. The shouting seemed to get louder and Dennis realized it was one person shouting, definitely a girl.
The portrait slammed open and the third Chaser, Katie Bell, came storming in with Seeker and Captain Harry Potter right behind her. They too seemed to be in the midst of an argument.
"...Katie I'm just trying to make sure you don't overexert yourself! You should be doing the same." And with that idiotic statement, the row reached its breaking point.
"Harry Potter! You are such an annoying git! If you tell me not to overexert myself one more time, I'll hex you into next week and You Know Who will have to Spellotape you back together so he can kill you! I. Am. Fine. I took it easy for six months. I am in shape. If anyone is dying on the pitch it will be you because I am this close to killing you myself!"
The blond girl stomped up the stairs to her dormitory leaving a stunned Chosen One in her wake. Hermione rolled her eyes and said to Fay Dunbar from their chairs near the fire, "Do I have to explain everything about girls to him and Ron?"
"You might, especially if you want Ron to notice you!" Fay smirked. Dennis watched as Hermione scowled at Fay and walked over to Harry. She seemed to be trying to explain what he did wrong with no success. Ron called out, "Hey mate, d'you remember how last year you said that Angelina was channeling Wood's spirit? Well now you've started. Wonder if it happens to all Captains!" Jimmy and Ritchie burst out laughing. Harry made a rude gesture at Ron before going upstairs.
"Was this how it was all practice?" Colin asked Demelza, leaning his head on her shoulder. "Of course," she answered, stroking his hair. "It's just like Harry Potter to cluck at his team like a mother hen at her chicks!"
