I apologize sooooo much for how long it has taken me to write this! I felt uninspired for a really long time, then when I tried to write more, my computer shut down and lost everything I had written. So, please enjoy!

We had an interesting train ride, with Jake sitting with us. He mainly talked with Fred and George, turning bright red whenever I would say something to him. It was extremely uncomfortable. Eventually Alicia, Angelina, and I started our own conversation.

"Licia, what about that hot guy you wrote me about? The one who moved in down the street?" Angelina asked her. As she did, George turned and scowled at the window, for some unknown reason. Interesting.

"He's such a jerk! I talked to him like once, and he was totally rude to me." Alicia sighed, thinking about him.

"That's too bad, but it's ok. We'll find you someone, right Katie?" She asked me.

"Of course." I said, sneaking a look at George as I replied. His jaw clenched and his eyes flashed to Alicia before looking away.

I had a pretty good idea of who to set her up with. Jake had to leave suddenly, something about his brother being sick.

"That was the most awkward conversation I have ever had! He doesn't know how to talk to girls as all." Fred exclaimed as the door shut behind Jake.

Angelina agreed with him then said," Now who are we going to set Katie up with?"

Multiple suggestions rang out, including Mulciber, a nasty Slytherin, Harry, Ron, Percy, and Oliver.

I quickly vetoed them all. "Mulciber is a Slytherin, Harry is… well... Harry, Ron's your brother, Percy… he's your brother, and he's Percy! And Oliver is dating Kaitlyn."

"Notice how the only reason for Oliver was he has a girlfriend." Fred pointed out, with an evil glint in his eyes.

My eyes got wide. "And he's Oliver!" I added quickly. The twins didn't know I liked Oliver, not even Alicia and Angelina knew. Oh, I'm sure they suspected it, but I had never told them.

To my surprise, Fred didn't pursue it. Probably to store it away for later, at a more embarrassing time.

"That's true." Alicia agreed. I eyed her suspiciously also. She was never one to let a topic about guys go without fully discussing it.

The rest of the train ride passed pretty uneventfully. Before we knew it, it was time to change into our robes. Instead of all going to the bathroom, we simply kicked Fred and George out and pulled the curtain. We all had undershirts on, so it was fine. As soon as we knew for sure the boys weren't listening, we ambushed Alicia.

"George totally likes you!" I exclaimed excitedly.

"He really does!" Angelina added earnestly.

"No, he doesn't." She said, sounding convinced.

"Of course he does!" I told her. "Did you see how upset he got when Angie mentioned that hot neighbor guy?"

"No." She admitted quietly, beginning to look hopeful. "Are you sure?"

"One hundred percent." Angelina promised. "If you want, I can ask Fred for you." Fred and Angelina had been dating for a few months now. They had gotten together a little before school had gotten out.

"No!" She said at once. "If he doesn't, and Fred knows, then Fred will tell him, and it will be terrible!"

"Fine, I won't." She replied, holding up her hands in mock surrender.

We decided to let the guys back in, and saw George standing there with a grin on his face.

"Hey, Licia, wanna come with me for a minute?" He asked, still smiling, but a little worriedly now.

She gave me a startled look and agreed. He had heard the whole conversation, I bet.

They left, leaving me with Angelina and Fred. They really were adorable together. Right now, he put an arm over her shoulder, and she curled her legs up underneath herself to snuggle into his arm.

"I am going to be so left out now." I sighed.

"Why?" Fred inquired.

"You and Angie, and Oliver and Kaitlyn, and now Alicia and George." I explained.

"Oh." He said. "I'm sure Mulciber is still single. Want me to set something up?" He asked.

"No!" I said at once. He simply smiled at me. "Angie! Control your boyfriend."

She laughed, "I can't do anything."

I sighed, and looked out the window for a little bit. I only looked up when the door opened loudly. I turned and saw George and Alicia hand-in-hand. I smiled at her, and she beamed back. I let Angelina question her, and stayed quiet till we arrived. The sorting was uneventful. Some slimy-looking kids went to Slytherin, nice-looking ones to Hufflepuff, sharp-looking ones to Ravenclaw, and the best to Gryffindor, of course.

The food was amazing, as usual. I was so full I could barely move. Our little group decided to sit in the Great Hall for a while after everyone else left. Oliver came over to me, to discuss some plays he made up over the summer. Kaitlyn didn't like that very much, she came and sat right in-between us. Oliver looked annoyed.

"Kaitlyn, do you mind? We were going over some plays." He asked.

"But I'm bored." She whined.

I rolled my eyes at Angelina. She smiled back and made a face at Kaitlyn.

I got up. "Hey, where are you going?" He asked me. "We weren't done."

"Sorry, I have a headache. I can't possibly imagine why." I added, looking at Kaitlyn. She looked at me, indignant, but didn't say anything when she saw Oliver's face.

"If we want to beat everyone, we have to work!" He said strongly.

"Oliver, it's the first day back." Fred said, perplexed.

"Yeah, Oliver. Lay off till at least tomorrow." Alicia added.

He mumbled something under his breath, but settled back down. I walked away quickly. I made my way to the common room, and realized I didn't know the password. I sat next to the painting and waited for someone to come by. After a while someone came out of the room. It was Hermione.

"Hermione!" I exclaimed.

"Hi, Katie. She responded, with an eyebrow raised.

"Could you tell me the password? We stayed in the Great Hall a bit too long." I said, looking sheepish.

"Yeah, it's quidditch." She told me.

"Thank you so much!" I said, and went in the common room. I didn't feel like watching all the happy couples, so I went up to my room, which I shared with Alicia, Angelina, and a third girl named Lila. She was terribly nice, and I loved her to death. She was already there, reading a book on her bed.

"Katie!" She cried out.

"Hi, Lila. How are you?" I asked as we hugged.

"I'm fine. Summer was awfully boring, but I'm here now." She said smiling down at me. It wasn't that she was particularly tall, I was just extremely short. But it works for a chaser, I can move faster.

"Me too, never thought I would miss school." I joked.

We talked for a while, till we decided to call it a night.

Ok, guys, you have absolute permission to hate me. I would too, but please review anyways! I love you so much, and reviewing literally makes my day! Good reviews, bad reviews, any of them! I would love to hear any sort of feedback, because I am always improving! Thanks again.

Love, Allie
