Sorry about the mix-up. It's IM/SS and INCA/OW. Sorry!

On with the story!

I'm going to begin on some of the relationships besides AD/MM. Right now Inca's romance will be hinted, mine will be complete, and Isis will begin to melt the heart of ice!!!

I'll get to the others soon, I promise. But I think I need who the girls want to be with. Here's the list so far:

AD/MM Karuri/Bill Isis/Severus Inca/Oliver

I don't know if the others told me, but leave it in your review, ok?

**************************************************

" That was bloody awsome....", said Inca in wonder to Oliver Wood

as she was returning to the guest rooms. He had come by to see how

they had faired in the nine hour Transfiguration class. Inca grasped her

wand, made of oak and unicorn hair, that Olivander had supplied when

they promised to work for him all Winter minus Christmas Eve and

Day. The other girls had lovely wands as well.

" Glade you liked it. It must have been grueling though." She

nodded to him.

" And that is why everyone else went straight to bed. Poor

Freelancer looked a mess." They both laughed. As they reached the

hall, Oliver bade her goodnight with a hug. She went redder than the

head of a Weasley, though he didn't see it, and she went on an impulse.

She kissed him on the cheek.

" Bye", she said, before hurrying into the room, beet red. Oliver

stood there for several moments, his hand where she had kissed him.

" God, I'm tiiieeered." Inca said the minute she got inside to his her

embarassment. Isis looked up and gave a weak smile.

" But it was worth it. We got through a week of stuff. Mind helping

me turn my porcupine into a pincushion? I'm stuck." So Datsu

managed some energy and began her work. Karuri, Minny, and

Freelancer had already hit the sack in the school P.J.'s while Aeryn

was reading iQuidditch Through the Agesi. She suddenly looked

outside to the lake below. It was quiet and calm, decieving the foolish

while Voldermort ran free. A shiver went up Aeryn's spine at what

might happen. Fanfics ran through her head like "The Needs of the

Many", and "Another Story". She only got one answer from her dark

thoughts.

" I need an Asprine." And with that, she fell asleep, the book still

open in her lap. Inca grinned, and bit her lip to prevent a cry. Isis had

got her porcupine....which had bit Inca.

" I'm going to bed. Here's your damn porcupine!"

***********************************************

It was Friday, and as they were free from lessons, Karuri

strolled towards lake by the sneaky path she had found playing

'Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets' on her PS II. It was

rather warmer than she had expected for Britain even in Summer,

and she liked it. As she got closer, she noticed Severus Snape walking

towards the greenhouse, a calm expression on his face. With a grin,

Karuri realized that Isis was in there. But she lost her train of thought

when she saw Bill Weasley still sitting by a tree.

" Mind if I join you Bill?" He looked up and grinned.

" Sure. What's up?" So he noticed her face.

" I was thinking....about what my parents will think..." She had

indeed gone on her walk to ponder that. A witch was a witch, no matter

who she was. They'd turn on her, kind as they were.

" Oh." He pulled her into a half-hug. She went scarlet. He smelled

good, like the forest after a rain. It made her heart go BUMPAH, like

in manga (Japanese Comic).

" Don't worry. If that happens....well, someone will be there." She

looked up. He was smiling at her. She smiled too, and touched his face.

" Well, if that someone is you, I won't mind.", she regreted it as

soon as she said it. What was she thinking???? He was so much older!

' What am I saying? I support AD/MM for Pete's sake!'

" Want me to be that someone?" She blinked back into reality.

A reality where Bill Weasley was kissing her. He definitly had no

problem falling in love. And he was one good kisser!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Isis cut a Mandrake leaf from the potted baby and placed it in the bag

for a potion they would begin the next day. She was so absorbed in her

work that the voice was what alerted her.

" Good day Ms. Isis.", he said, making her shiver despite the warmth

in the greenhouse.

" Same to you Professor." She took a deep breath. He was two feet

away. Her hands shook slightly when he passed her, barely touching

her arm with his velvet outer robe. She wanted out, he was too much to

be around alone.

" Are you feeling well, Ms. Isis?" Came an annoyed question.

'Turn around. Say yes!' Isis said to herself. What was wrong with

her? So she turned. In front of her was his face. He blushed and drew

away.

" Yes. I'm fine. It's just a bit hot in here.' He moved away. She turned

to go, when his cry alarmed her to trouble. He was holding his arm, the

one with the Dark Mark on it.

"Professor! He's calling you, isn't he?" His painful nodd was her only

answer. And then it was over, leaving Severus gasping in pain.

Voldermort was furious about something, that was for sure.

" I...better...unh." He shivered. Isis reflexively held him close.

His hands wrapped around her, like a child waking from a bad dream.

She cried. It had never occured to her how bad it was. But Severus was

strong enough to get up, and walked out the door. She knew he had to.

" Be carful..."

*************************************************

I had to get myself kissed. Tee-hee. Anyway, the story is starting to pick up. I need a

plan however, I'm stuck as far as what Voldie will do this year. Any ideas???

Oh, and I think I got an A on my Bio test today!!!!! I couldn't remember the muscle by the Tibia, but I got the rest right! Just had to tell ya.

And I still need a title for my story I mentioned involving Dumbledore's eyes......*sigh*
