Chapter 14

Katie, Alicia and Angelina headed into Hogsmeade to meet Oliver. Fred and George had heard about it and decided to tag along. Cassius and Adrian were less than pleased to hear this. The boys all sat miserably in the Slytherin common room, resisting the urge to follow the girls in secret.

"It's not like I'm jealous or anything." Adrian commented after a long silence.

"No me either." Cassius agreed. They continued to sit in silence for a moment.

"And it wouldn't even matter if," Marcus began.

"If all three of our girlfriends hadn't just gone out to lunch with all their ex-boyfriends." Adrian finished for him.

"This is ridiculous. Draco's on a date with Hermione, Blaise is on a date with Ginny and we're just sitting here waiting for our girlfriends to come back from a date with their ex-boyfriends!"

"Yeah. We should be doing something."

"Let's go down to Hogsmeade. That's where everyone else is. They said we should meet up with them after. Let's take them up on that!" And with decisive action all three boys got up from the couch and headed to Hogsmeade.

"Oliver it's so good to see you!" Alicia squealed giving her old captain a hug. Angelina followed suit. Katie hesitated before giving him a quick hug.

"It's good to see you all too." Oliver smiled. Katie had forgotten how gorgeous he was, what a great smile he had. She forcefully steered herself from these thoughts. "So what's been happening?"

"Oh nothing much." Fred shrugged. "These three just got resorted into Slytherin."

"What?" Oliver looked bewildered. "Fred tell me your joking!"

"It's true. Most people got moved around. This was McGonagall and Dumbledore's newest idea for house unity."

"But that's insane. The sorting hat puts people in a house and that's where you stay. They can't just move people around for the sake of it."

"I agree it was wrong. But it hasn't been so bad actually. The Slytherin's aren't so bad when you get to know them." Angelina replied. Fred and George gave each other a knowing look.

"Sure mustn't be since you've all started dating some of our enemies." George grumbled.

"What?" Oliver looked at the girls pleadingly, although he were begging them to contradict it.

"It's true." Alicia replied casually though she glared at Fred and George.

"Oh yeah didn't I mention it." Katie said nervously playing with her hair. "I'm going out with Marcus now." Oliver's face went from normal to white to red and back before he spoke again.

"Marcus as in Marcus Flint?" He said with absolute disbelief. Katie swallowed.

"Yes."

"Katie is this about us?"

"No! This has nothing to do with you! Marcus and I just fit." Fred covered his laugh with a cough and George sniggered beside him, catching the unintended innuendo.

"Katie you can't be serious! I know how much you hate him."

"I don't hate him. I didn't know him! I just thought he was a bully."

"-Which he is." Fred interjected. Alicia hit him over the head with her menu.

"Oliver can we please just drop this. You're my friend and you'll always be important to me. But Marcus is important to me too now and I would really like it if you could at least pretend to be okay with this." Katie gave him her angel face, the one were her eyes became impossibly wide and she bit her lip. She knew he couldn't resist it. She'd ended a lot of arguments using this technique.

"Oh alright." Oliver sighed falling for it. He slumped back in his chair and smiled tiredly at the group.

"Any more bludgers you want to drop on me before we eat? I'd rather not choke to death today."

Adrian, Marcus and Cassius walked back and forth in front of the pub the girls were at twenty times before they decided they either had to go in or go away.

"We could just glance in through the window." Cassius suggested. Adrian supported this idea and a moment later Cassius was casually walking by the window subtly trying to see what was going on. He could see the group sitting at a round table and to his relief noticed that Alicia was sitting between Katie and Angelina and no where near that Weasley boy.

"Well what are they doing?" Marcus asked as Cassius came back to where the others were waiting.

"They're just sitting there eating and talking." Cassius replied. He was feeling much better now that he knew the Weasley wasn't sitting beside his Alicia.

"Maybe we should go somewhere else." Adrian suggested. "I don't if I'll be able to resist the temptation to punch the Weasleys face in if I see him with Angelina."

"You've got a point." Cassius agreed. "But where?"

"What did we use to do before we started dating them?" Marcus asked genuinely trying to remember.

"We played Quiditch, chased girls- or in my case got chased- and stole from the kitchens." Adrian summed up.

"We could play Quiditch now."

"We could." But no one moved.

"Or we could wait until they come out then we could all play Quiditch together." Adrian suggested. That seemed like a much better idea and the boys eventually decided to get a drink from the other pub while they waited. Eventually the girls finished their lunch and came out of the pub. The boys saw them through the window and threw some money down at the table they'd been sitting at.

"Well I'll be off I guess." Oliver smiled. "Back to the big city."

"Good luck Oliver." Katie said. Oliver gave her a hug goodbye just as Marcus came round the corner.

"Oy!" he growled. "Take your hands off my girl Wood." Oliver let go of Katie and turned to face his old nemesis.

"Flint. Long time no see."

"Not long enough." Marcus snapped back. He stalked over to where Katie was standing and stood behind her, one arm wrapped around her waist. Oliver's eyes glinted with what Katie thought looked like hurt.

"No I guess not. Well I'll see you around." He added to his old teammates. He knew if he stayed another moment then he would punch Flint and Katie would be furious with him.

"Yeah see you Oliver." Alicia smiled at him sadly.

"We'll walk you to the apparition point." Fred and George volunteered at the same time. They had no desire to hang around Marcus and the others.

As the Gryffindor's disappeared Katie turned in Marcus' eyes to glare at him.

"What was that?" She asked angrily. Marcus just shrugged. He knew she'd be mad but what was he supposed to do? He couldn't help it if he was possessive, and maybe a bit jealous and perhaps a tiny bit overprotective.

"What have you boys been up to?" Angelina asked. The moment she'd seen Adrian she'd run up to him and kissed him much to his satisfaction. Fred who?

"Oh nothing much." Adrian replied evasively. He didn't really want to say that they'd been spying on them for the last hour and before that had had nothing to do except sit and think.

"I bet. You were lost without us." Alicia teased. Cassius smiled. She had no idea how right she was. Not that he'd tell her that.

"Come on. Let's head back to the castle. I feel like playing some Quiditch." Adrian said. They all agreed. Katie at first gave Marcus the cold shoulder on the way back but eventually forgave him after she was beginning to feel particularly cold and he offered her his scarf. They hung back behind the others a bit so they could talk without being overheard.

"Why did you do what you did? I told you Oliver and I were just friends."

"I noticed you must have told him you were dating me. Otherwise he'd have been more surprised at what I said."

"Of course I told him! Marcus you're my boyfriend. I'm not ashamed of that. Yes it was awkward telling Oliver but I'm not going to hide something from him just because he wouldn't like it. Just like I didn't hide my meeting with Oliver from you. It's all about honesty baby." She nudged him playfully. Marcus smiled in spite of himself.

"I guess I shouldn't have over reacted." He said at last. "I'll try to be nicer next time."

"Thank you." She leant up on tippy toes and kissed him quickly. "Now come on. Let's play Quiditch!"

Next chapter will be more Blaise/Ginny and Hermione/Draco. Hermione will find out the truth and Blaise and Ginny will move forward in their relationship ;)
