AN: Thanks to Ember Nickel for beta-reading this, chapter 12 is here and please enjoy.
"So, where's Mary?" George asked.
"In some student's stomach," Fred answered.
"Oh no!" George said and covered his mouth. "How?"
"My wife accidentally left it in the kitchen at night," Fred explained. "A beloved daughter."
"She'll be missed," George said, nodding.
"What about Georgia?" Fred said but needed no answer, since he saw Mathilda holding an egg in her hands and caressing it.
"She won't let me alone, look here she comes," George complained and leaned back on his chair at the classroom where Potions was about to start but Mathilda was there.
"George!"
"Oh no," George said, whining.
"Hi!" Mathilda said enthusiastically.
"Mathilda," George said.
She squeed and he frowned. "Well, that was all. Bye"
"Ciao" George said and she left quickly, as excited as she arrived. George thanked every force in nature for making her leave him alone, since she was getting a bit too close to him and Alicia was fuming.
"Al, don't be mad at me, please," George said, now he was sitting next to her and caressing her face. She didn't look at him and planned to remain still like that but her anger betrayed her.
"I just hate Mathilda, she's so annoying!" she exclaimed and threw herself in George's arms.
"Thank you so much Mr. Weasley, Miss Spinnet. Stop handling each other because you just gave me a reason to fill a report and I was really looking forward to it," Snape said, satisfied, as he entered the room.
Alicia growled and sat in her desk, next to Angelina.
"So what happened to Oliver then? You never finished telling me," Angelina whispered to Alicia as soon as she sat.
"Oh right! Well, he's not playing against Slytherin in three weeks and he's cleaning the pool this weekend," Alicia said grimly.
"Oh no!" Angelina exclaimed "We need his hatred for Flint to win."
"I know, it's all Damn-iel Ryder's fault."
"I hope Nick finishes him at the game tomorrow," Angelina said and Alicia
nodded.
Object: Phrase "Merlin!"
Circumstances: Heard by several friends during practice, eavesdropping on their rooms and the day Alicia fell on her back.
Possible explanation: There's a student we do not know called Merlin and he/she has been the cause (By Mathilda)
Lyra's point of view: They curse us when they say that
Personal notes: Alicia's fall was a blast! (By Mathilda) Hehe. (By Lyra)
-------------------
Object: Fact- Katie and Eliot's egg broke but the next hour it was perfectly fine. NOTE: We have Eliot's testimony (We know, it wasn't like we were gonna begin talking to that fool, but whatever) He wonders the same.
Circumstances: Elle saw when the egg broke but Hans reported that it was perfect by the end of the day.
Possible explanation: Snape (LOL) provided them with a super-egg! (By Mathilda)
Lyra's point of view: (Rolls eyes at the sentence before) They did something to that egg.
Personal Notes: Lyra, I think I have the hots for a Hogwarts-boy! (By Mathilda)
(Eyes are sick of rolling so much) Mathilda, that so doesn't belong here! (By Lyra)
----------------------------------------
That was the writing Lyra had been so into for the last two hours, she was sure there was something going on and was determined to find out what. Those guys were so easy to stalk because they never thought anyone would be interested in them, obviously nobody could be interested in them. And then there was Roger too, thinking that he was in love with Swann, she was so out of the group. Not like Lyra, who was waiting for Daniel, she had finally convinced him to go out on a date, and even if he was reluctant and didn't really agree, she knew he'd fall for her once he saw her tiny dress. She was glad because Katie's legs were so pale that she could never wear a dress like that.
Tonight she'd go and eavesdrop on them again, it was Oliver's day today, and she expected to find something good that finally revealed their secret to her. Meanwhile she finished with her make-up and went to open the door.
"Oliver you have to talk to me!" Katie yelled, following him desperately. It was night already and they were heading to their rooms when she finally got a glimpse of Oliver's messy hair and followed him, yelling and begging for him to stop.
"Katie, it's enough." Oliver snapped when he finally turned to face her. He was intimidating when he stood like that but despite the circumstances, Katie couldn't help but think that he was insanely gorgeous.
"Please," Katie pleaded once more and when she saw he was turning again to keep walking, she played her way and grabbed the egg from his hand. She swung the egg on the empty air, since every student was gone now. "A word, please or..." Katie stopped trying to remember the egg's name.
"FootBaseBaskVoley-ditch," Oliver answered.
"Right, that or he will suffer the consequences," Katie threatened and swung the egg once more, threatening with throwing it. Oliver thought of his "son" falling two floors and went for the easy way.
"Katie, please give me my egg back," Oliver said kindly, holding out his hand. Katie took it and spoke again:
"A word, that's all I'm asking for."
Oliver sighed. "Fine."
"What you saw, it was Daniel and all him. He did that to bother you and me, because I did not want that. But don't worry I've already told him to stay away," Katie explained as fast as she could.
"Yeah, just like you told him before, perhaps Katie you weren't persuasive enough," Oliver replied sarcastically and tried to get his egg once more, but Katie dodged his arm and that brought them a little bit closer.
"No!"
"Katie please, just give me the egg back and do whatever you want with Daniel" Oliver said, he was tired now, tired of the situation.
"But you do care, I know that!" Katie exclaimed, panicking slowly. He couldn't mean that. "I care Oliver, please."
"Katie..." Oliver said under his breath and went for the egg once more. Thanks to his failure he was know closer to her, the thought of having her so close to him distracted him. She was closer than he ever imagined, and heck he had imagined this scene in ten thousand different ways.
"Katie...Katie," he said once more and moved closer to her, almost impulsively and without giving it so much thought. Katie thought he was going for the egg but his soft lips on hers were definitely a good surprise.
Oliver couldn't believe he was kissing Katie Bell, claiming for the lost territory that Daniel had briefly stolen and she wasn't preventing him. And suddenly everything got a new meaning, and if he had to chase Daniel through a pitch with a broom again for a result like this, he'd so do it.
Emotions, sensations, butterflies and tornadoes...all were running through her veins with joy, her hands felt weak and she embraced him. Kissing Katie was definitely a new feeling but Oliver never though that she could provoke cold and pain in his back, her left hand was cold against his wide back, something was crashing against his back but wasn't she holding the egg with that hand?
That's how FootBaseBaskVoley-ditch said goodbye to this crazy world...
Gasping, she pulled away from him and thought that the sight of his beautiful brown eyes smiling to her was something she couldn't get enough of. Then they both glanced at her left hand, FootBaseBaskVoley-ditch's body was there, destroyed by Oliver's strong back and they grinned.
"I think you just lost your project," Katie whispered, embarrassed and tried to clean her hand with her shirt, staining it with yolk.
Oliver grinned again. "But I won something else, didn't I?" he said and brought her face to him once more.
They remained like that until they remembered about the real world and their assignments, Oliver walked with her to her room, where they found Angelina and Vanessa writing strategies for their teams.
"Hey," Vanessa greeted them. "I like your rooms, cozy. Ours are so far, though."
Angelina looked up and saw their faces: grinning and closer to each other than usual. Weird. It was because of Oliver's sweater and Katie's shirt that she knew: her hand must have been on his back but why was her hand on...
"Sweet Baby Jesus on Pampers!" Angelina exclaimed standing up rather quickly. "You two cannot hide this from me, I can tell! You two just made-out!" she made the accusation and smiled at the same time. "And I'm so happy for that!"
"Wow!" Vanessa exclaimed and she and Angelina hugged them.
Oliver and Katie laughed and hugged them too.
Vanessa looked at the stains once more. "Hey Oliver, isn't that yolk?" she asked, confused.
"Um...yeah, sorry," Katie said and grimaced. "We just kind of-"
"OLIVER EDWARD WOOD, I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU JUST KILLED OUR SON!"
AN: Hehe.
