Chapter 1: Recurring Memories

Katie sighed as she looked at her watch yet again, the hands of the timepiece indicating that it was just past midnight. It was September 1st and she was to be going back to Hogwarts for her 6th year. Usually, she wouldn't have been so reluctant; I mean, she had her friends to look forward to. But she couldn't help feeling depressed at the fact that she was to be going back to the one place that brought back all those painful memories. Memories she couldn't forget— memories that kept replaying themselves over and over again in her head that each and every single one of them was embedded in her mind. "How could he do this to me?" she asked herself, not for the first time. A single tear formed at the corner of her eye as she reminisced over the few memorable moments she had with her now ex-boyfriend, Roger Davies.

When she first started dating him in her 5th year, Roger seemed to be perfect; polite and intelligent, charming and handsome. He was also the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. He could've fooled any girl who so much as met his eye. And Katie so happened to one of those unlucky girls. She could still remember when she first got together with him. He was considerate, and a real ladies' man—at first. Not even a month into their relationship, she accidentally walked in on him and another Hufflepuff bitch making out in an empty hallway. "Or so they thought," Katie thought bitterly. She could very well remember how horrible it felt to be betrayed like that. Her friends were there for her when she was crying her eyes out and they comforted her and badmouthed Davies for her. It made her feel a bit better, and after a week of crying her eyes out till they were so swollen she could barely see through them, she tried moving on with her life again. Everything seemed fine for a while after that; Quidditch practices were held more and more often, teachers piled increasing amounts of work onto her and the other people in her year, and she continued hanging out with her group of closest friends, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, Fred and George Weasley, and Oliver Wood. As strange as it was, all of them were in the same Quidditch team, and somehow, throughout all the age differences, they managed to become a group of close-knit friends that Katie knew she couldn't live without.

But of course, all good things come to an end. One day, after a particularly grueling training session in the stormy weather, she trudged up the castle to her common room. On her way, she was stopped by Davies once again. "I was so stupid," Katie thought to herself, as she once again recounted the exact words he told her that made her go back to him for a second time.

Flashback: (Katie's POV)

"Katie, I need to talk to you," he said, as he walked closer towards me.

"What the hell do you want, Davies?"

"I—uh I wanted to apologize for what I did to you. Katie, after you left me, I felt so bad 'cause I lost you."

"Well, I guess that's just too bad, huh? You fucked up, so it's your loss." As I prepared to walk away, he stopped me.

"But, Katie, please, I just want another chance with you. I promise I won't hurt you again," he said, looking at me with sincerity.

I sigh as I look up at him; hesitation evident in both the expression on my face and my tone of voice.

"Fine," I say, before turning around again.

He catches up to me again as I walk, turning me around and kissing me on the lips before walking away.

"You won't regret this, Katie," he reassures me.

I don't reply as I continue on my way—hoping that I didn't make the wrong decision.

End Flashback

She rubs her eyes, surprised to find that tears are continuously running down her face and onto her pillow. She angrily wipes them away, turning over on her side, trying to block out reality. A new expression set upon her face; one of determination and a little bit of vengefulness. Recalling the more painful memory of seeing him for a second time with another girl, this time in the library, she felt fury rising in her chest, causing her tears to cease falling.

Flashback: (Katie's POV)

"You bastard!" I hear myself scream at him, turning him around to face me before slapping him hard in the face, leaving behind a red handprint on his cheek, not caring that Angie and Alicia were less than a hundred feet away from me, watching the scene avidly.

"We're over! And if you even come near me again, I'll make sure you never ever have children. Got that?"

He nods quickly, before leaving the library, pulling the Ravenclaw slut along with him.

Tears stream down my face as I sit down on the floor in the corner of a bookcase, crouched in a fetal position. "Fuck him," I whisper to myself harshly. Before wiping tears off my face and heading off to the Quidditch pitch to fly for a while and recollect my thoughts.

Mounting my broom and pushing off, I sighed at the feeling of the wind in my hair. I always loved flying ever since I learned to ride a broom when I was 8. It always helped to clear my mind. And it did. A while later, I was lying on the ground staring out at the setting sun, watching the colors in the sky blending from red to orange to pink, to purple, thinking about life in general, when a saw a shadow looming over me.

"Hey, Oliver," I greet him as comes over to lie next to me.

"Hey," he says, "You okay? I heard everything from Angie."

I laugh humorlessly before replying, "Trust Angie to blurt everything out, huh?"

"She's just doing this for your own good, you know. Besides, I heard you threatened to castrate him or something. Good for you!" he says, grinning.

Letting out a small smile, I turn back to face the sky.

"You know I'll always be here for you, right, Kates?" turning to look at me sincerely.

"Yeah, thanks, Ollie."

And it was then that I really started crying; letting out sob after sob as Oliver took me up in a gigantic hug and held me while I cried into his shoulder, all the time whispering words of comfort in my ear. After what seemed like ages, I finally stopped crying, quite surprised to see stars in the sky, telling me that I had been crying for an extremely long time.

"Thanks again, Ollie." I say softly to him before laughing out loud, "I'm all ugly now aren't I?"

With a grin, he tells me, "You're beautiful, Katie, don't worry about it."

End Flashback

Although she absolutely hated him for what he did to her, she couldn't help the feelings she still felt deep down inside. She wanted to hurt him. Badly. And at the same time, she wanted to run back to him again. But she knew better now. After another few days of endless crying, she finally learned to stay away from him no matter how fucking sincere he looked or how much she loved him. And so here she was, lying in bed, thinking things over in her head and it was then that she decided that she really needed to move on and get a life. Her friends were always going to be there for her, and she knew that if it happened again, Angelina would blow another fuse and start yelling at her for being so stupid for taking him back and for even liking him. And even though what she said hurt like crazy, Katie knew she was right. "I have such good friends," she mumbled to herself as she remembered Oliver comforting her, a smile appearing on her face before disappearing almost instantly.

Looking at her watch again, she saw it was almost 2 in the morning. "I wish this would just end," she said to herself, "I just want to get out of this mess I'm in and start getting on with my life." Like any other girl her age, all she wanted was to find the one person who she'd love and would love her back.

Little did she know that she had a lot coming to her this year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
