Rainy Day Circumstances
i: first kiss


The sheets of rain fell and thunder clapped. Katie rushed, broom in hand, toward the quidditch pitch. Her dark brown hair stuck to her damp skin and rain dripped down her face, blurring her vision.

The brunette quickened her pace – muttering about having practice in such a heavy rain. She swiped a thick strand of saturated hair away from her eyes, hoping to clear her vision. She quickly rounded the bend and collided with a hard – human – wall. She fell, with a thud, into a large pile of mud.

"Oi, you alright Katie," she recognized the voice of one of the Weasley twins and turned her gaze upward. "I was looking for you." He wrapped his fingers around her wrist and pulled her up with ease.

"I'm fine," she assured him. "Did Angelina send you after me?" She eyed the twin. She was almost positive it was Fred.

"No." He frowned slightly, "did you ever think that maybe I was worried about you Bell?"

Yep, definitely Fred. George never called her by her last name. "Why do you call me by my last name? Why don't you call me Katie, like everyone else?"

"Who says I'm calling you by your last name?" He inched closer to her –and for the first time- she noticed he was still holding her wrist. "Did you ever think that, maybe, I was calling you belle. You know, the French word for beautiful."

His face was inches from hers – a sly grin curved his lips – then, his lips overtook hers.

And just as soon as it began, it was over.

He took her broomstick and started toward the pitch, "Hurry up Katie or Angie will have our heads!"

And as she watched him walk away, she finally released the breath she hadn't realized she was holding.
