Chapter 1

AN: Yes, yes, I'm back to write another story and yes, it is a sequel to "Back to the Way it Was". You must read that story before you even set eyes on this one. Another little note, this story is set in Kelly's 5th year. Yes I know, I going backwards but I wanted to get Kelly and Oliver's past cleared up and write a little on Rachelle's break up that you read about in "Back to the Way it Was". So without further ado, here it is!

Kelly looked up at the smoke that billowed up from the Hogwarts Express. This was the exact train that would take her and thousands of other wizard children to Hogwarts. This was going to be her fifth year going and couldn't wait to arrive.

"Kelly are you coming?" Rachelle pulled Kelly away from her daydreams and toward the train. Kelly had been best friends with Rachelle since her first year at Hogwarts. Each was in the same year and in Gyffindor. Oddly enough, being friends with Rachelle was hard at times. Rachelle had managed to become one of the most popular girls in the school, she become part of the in-crowd fast. Being friends with Rachelle easily got you in the same crowd.

Kelly never minded the attention. It was nice, she had never been popular when she was growing up, she was just, well, there. Being friends with Rachelle had its ups and it's downs and there were bound to be both during this school year.

Kelly boarded the train and found a compartment for her and Rachelle to sit in. Sitting with them would be Amber, one of Rachelle and Kelly's best friends. They picked a compartment in the middle of the train, that way they could be in the center of attention and all ways know what was going on.

After 5 minutes of getting comfortable, Amber found them. She started telling them all the little details of her summer. While listening to Amber ramble on and on, Kelly glanced though the door into the hallway to see who had picked the compartments next to them.

2 guys. Oliver Wood and Mike Putten. These 2 guys weren't just guys. These two were the 2 captain for the Quidditch teams. Oliver was on the Gyffindor team and Mike was on the Hufflepuff team. Both men were known for their stunning good looks and popularity witch Kelly liked. She liked a lot. Oliver had noticed her staring at him and smiled back and Kelly almost had a seizure.

"Amber I bet you had a great summer but," Kelly cut Amber off, "Oliver Wood just smiled at me and I bet nothing in your summer could compare to that."

"You're kidding." Rachelle said, "Who would smile at you when they could be smiling at me." Kelly cringed at her comment but laughed it off. This was the real Rachelle. Sometimes Kelly would die to trade her popularity for better friends and to not to be known as "Rachelle's friend".

Rachelle continued to stick her head out of the compartment and try to get the guys attention but it didn't work and she headed back in, spitting comments like, "Kelly, you are so full of shit, Oliver would never even look at you."

Kelly wished she could just go up to Oliver, grab him and drag him over to Rachelle and make him tell her that he did smile at her. Why did Rachelle have to make such a big deal out of the little things, even if those little things were the best things.

After the journey to the school, eating their hearts out in the Great Hall and going to the common room for the first time that year, Kelly unpacked her things and lay down on her bed. Her room was shared with Rachelle and Amber and, at the time, they were reapplying their make-up.

"Why are you putting more make-up on? It's..." Kelly looked at her bedside clock, "It's 9:30."

"Well, we were thinking about making our first appearance in the common room." Rachelle spat.

"You already made your first appearance, on the train and when we arrived." Kelly muttered but she didn't want to bother with arguing with Rachelle. She should go down to the commons and have fun, without her.

She sat up and left Rachelle and Amber and headed down the stairs. When she entered the common room, she heard the sounds of several very familiar voices. She met up with Fred, George, and Percy Weasley. They told her about their kid brother who was to be going to Hogwarts in the next year. She sat down with Cedric Diggory who was quiet popular at the time and was a good friend with Kelly. They sat by the fire and caught up on what each other did during the summer. Oddly, his story wasn't as boring as Amber's.

Soon, most of the kid's had gone up to there rooms to get a good night's sleep but Kelly stayed downstairs. She plopped down on a comfy little couch by the fireplace. She saw someone sit down beside her. She casually turned her head to see who it was and sure enough it was Oliver Wood.
