Okay. I was hoping to post this earlier, but it didn't work out as planned. The scene at the end just popped into my head as I was writing and I realized it was a perfect set up for something in the next couple of chapters...

Thanks to my four reviewers: Noir Lime Canuto, CrystalPhoenix777, Emerald Puppy, and an anonymous reviewer who put their name as 37! This is dedicated to you guys and girls.

Disclaimer: The only thing I own is my outfit. And whether these shorts are mine was brought up today...

Katie's POV

Ha! Did those three actually think I'd agree to a date with Flint? Or even Davies? I really wonder how they're my best friends at times.

I walked out of Hogwarts's entrance and made my way toward the Quidditch Pitch. As the goal posts came in to view I took off sprinting and I felt my ponytail coming loose. I was almost there when I tripped and fell. I rolled down the hill a few times before landing flat on my back. I was probably frozen silently on the ground for about thirty seconds before I burst out laughing. Shaking with uncontrollable laughter at my own clumsiness, I rolled on to my stomach and pushed myself up. Looking around, I saw a Ravenclaw girl staring at me strangely. What was her name? Oh yeah, Cho something. I never liked her much.

With a smile, I skipped the rest of the way to the Pitch stopping only to pick up my broom from the Gryffindor locker area. The one place I have any amount of tolerance for anymore is the Quidditch Pitch. It's the only place at Hogwarts not covered in red and pink hearts and sparkles and Valentines. I began going toward the center of the Pitch to take off, but then the wind picked up causing my hair to get tangled in my face.

"Ugh! Where'd my hair tie go?" I reached around the back of my head and didn't feel it there. Honestly, my hair wouldn't stay right for half an hour. I can't expect it to stay perfectly styled for a date that would last for a few hours; especially with Davies.

"Hullo! Katie!" Speak of the Devil.

Forget my hair; I need to get away from him. Pretending not to hear my name, I took off from the ground. I had already finished one lap around the Pitch when I saw Davies coming up behind me.

'Oi! Katie, I'm not sure you heard me earlier. The wind is fairly strong today," Davies flew up beside me and I offered a smile that came out more like a grimace.

"Yeah, it is," I replied begging my broom to go faster.

"So, I was wondering if you'd like to accompany me to Hogsmeade on Valentine's Day," He must have taken my silence as an okay for him to continue, "I sent you a valentine, but you might not have gotten it yet. I'm positive you've already had many invitations of course. You're so talented and pretty." There's his charm that gets him whatever he wants. It sickens me.

He continued, "If you haven't already agreed to go with someone else, I'd be honored if I could take you." Oh and there's that smile.

"Would you?" I asked sarcastically.

"Of course I would! You're the prettiest girl in the school, the best Chaser, even better than me." He smiled again and I felt like puking, although I was a better Chaser than he was by a long shot.

"You know, it's a shame you aren't in Ravenclaw," I stared at him.

"What's wrong with Gryffindor?" I challenged. He really shouldn't be insulting my House or me if he wants a date.

"Nothing, Gryffindor is amazing. I just thought it'd be nice to have you on the team. I think we'd work great together."

"Do you now?"

"Definitely; we're both Star Chasers for our team, at the top of most of our classes and incredibly good looking," He smiled again and tossed his dark hair for emphasis. "Now, about Hogsmeade on Monday…"

"Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Valentine's Day and celebrating it would make me a hypocrite."

"Oh yes, I've read your list."

"And yet you still asked me?"

"Well I realized that you were right about Valentine's Day. It's ridiculous."

"So I did get through to someone then?"

"Yes, and I decided that since we both detest it, we should go together." Wow. He's a really bad liar.

"That makes no sense."

"Sure it does. I already have the whole date planned."

"Okay then. I'm not agreeing to this, but what exactly would we be doing?"

"Well first I'd pick you up outside your Common Room and bring you flowers or chocolates," Strike one: Chocolate make you fat.

"Then we'd take the carriages into Hogsmeade and go to Madame Puddifoot's," Strike 2: That place is filled with pink, and glitter, and just reeks of Valentine's Day.

"Finally, we'll take a romantic walk around Hogsmeade in the snow and end the perfect date with a kiss." Strike 3: I hate the snow.

"Did you even read the list?"

"Of course I did. I wanted our date to be perfect."

"Right, well I'm not going," I started to fly away from him. "But maybe Cho or Marietta would love to go with you." I left him hovering there dumbstruck and flew over to the lake. I nearly barf seeing Percy Weasley and his girlfriend Penelope snogging under a tree. Now he's a hypocrite. He yells at everyone and anyone he finds snogging or even just holding hands, but there he is! Penelope is nice though. She helped me find my classes when I was lost in my first year. I think she's in Ravenclaw. Wow someone I actually like from that house. Actually, there's a nice second year girl in that House. She's slightly odd, but interesting…

"Aw crap!" I screamed as the wind picked up again. While trying to steady myself on the broom, my hair got tangled in front of my face and I fell.

"Katie!" I hear a male voice call out before I hit the ice. There was a slight crack and I felt water coming above the thin layer of ice. Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!

Oliver's POV

"Aw crap!" I look and see my Chaser struggling to push her hair out of her face and about falling off her broom.

"Katie!" I yell and see her hit the ice. No! I start panicking. There's no one else around. Percy and Penelope already went back inside. This is not good.

Without thinking I run out to the ice to try and help her, but I end up slipping just a couple of feet out and the ice cracks under my feet.

Um- ok Oliver think fast.

Have to help Katie.

I see water rising around her and I can't tell if she's conscious or not.

Screw it. I scramble over to her as fast as I can and grab her hand just as her head slips beneath the water.

Reviews make my day that much better! :D
