Katie Bell

"You know, you look beautiful naked," Carol said as her finger lazily drew circles on Katie's breasts. Katie sighed contentedly.

"Mmm. You don't need to flatter me," Katie said lazily, her eyes half closed as the two girls lay in bed. "You already got me into bed you know. Several times in fact. But don't stop doing that. That's…good."

"No, I mean it," Carol said with a smile and she brushed a strand of red hair out of her eyes. "I've fucked a lot of girls, but you are the most beautiful naked girl that I've ever seen."

Katie let out a contented sigh, her eyes half closed and Carol took in a deep breath.

"Actually…Katie, there's something I want to tell important."

"Hmmm?"

"I've been terrified of saying it before, especially since the war and...well I'm almost afraid to say it."

Katie sat up, her eyes suddenly wide.

"You're not in some kind of trouble are you?" she asked and Carol chuckled.

"No, not that," she said and Katie sighed with relief.

"And you're not sick?" Katie persisted and Carol shook her head with a small chuckle.

"I'm fine. I just...need to tell you something. Something I haven't told anyone since the war. I'm tempting fate, I shouldn't even be sa-"

She was abruptly cut off by Katie kissing her.

"Shhh. You don't need to be afraid. It can't be that bad. We've just shagged and I know about you shagging Cho and Parvati and Lisa. What could you be afraid of telling me after that?"

"Fucking a girl is easy," Carol said almost dismissively. "Or at least easier than this. You have fun, you know the right spots to touch and how and when. All those details that are as much physical as anything else. No, this is much scarier."

Katie chuckled bitterly.

"We've both faced Death Eaters, seen friends and family hurt and come out alive. I know you're brave enough to tell me whatever it is," Katie paused and looked Carol in the eye. "I'm your captain and you can tell me anything."

"The last person I said this to died in front of me and it tore me apart," Carol said, brushing another strand of long red hair out of her eyes. "I don't-I can't-I-I slept around to forget, to avoid feeling this...then we became regular fuck buddies. Like...I just couldn't bring myself to fuck other girls other than you and I've been terrified about what it means and-"

"Carol, breath!" Katie said abruptly, cutting her off before she could hyperventilate.

"Okay. Katie Bell...I love you. There I said it!"

"You love me?"

"Yes. I love you Katie Bell. As in, I want to be your girlfriend and go out on dates and make love to you on a lazy weekends and after practise when you look unbelievably sexy and get married and have two point five children together. Can I be any clearer?"

Katie grinned.

"I've been dreaming about you saying that for so long," she said as she looked Carol in the eyes. "But I didn't dare hope...Carol Farley, will you be my go out with me?"

"Yes I will," she replied, a grin cutting across her face. "And I can think of the perfect way to celebrate."

With a matching grin, Katie pulled Carol into a passionate kiss and the two witches fell back into the bed.
