This one is in Katie's POV. Just in case you were confused. Also, the one shots aren't in order, but they are grouped by year for the most part. But anyways, please R&R!

"Wood's looking hotter this year," Angelina said offhandedly as she, Alicia and I lounged in a compartment of the Hogwarts Express.

I choked on my caldron cake.

"Easy there, Katie," Alicia thumped my back. Hard.

"Ouch," I muttered.

"Had you really not noticed?" Angelina scoffed, picking at nothing under her nails, "I mean, he's always been fit. In a sort of rugged way."

"He's our Captain!" I made a face, "He's like another species."

"A hot species," Angie grinned, "I'm not saying I'd shag him or anything, but he's nice to look at."

I sputtered, face turning seven shades of uncomfortable.

"You alright, Kates?" Alicia asked amusedly, "You've turned a sickly pallor. It's most worrying."

I honestly didn't know what to think. Wood was like the other big brother I never wanted. We looked out for each other. We were comrades.

"Merlin's pants," I moaned, "Why would you say something like that?" I pulled at my hair for added effect. The girls snorted at my antics. I was hopeful that the topic would change. But of course my luck abandoned me completely.

Oliver Wood himself had just shoved open the compartment door. I froze in terror, eyes jumping from Angelina to Alicia to gauge their reactions.

"Morning," he started, "Have you seen Percy by any chance?"

Alicia's face split into a devilish grin. Oh, hell.

"Um," I began, trying to protect Wood from whatever thought had just crossed Alicia's mind, "No, I haven't, but he's probably at a prefect meeting."

"Right," he said, eyebrows furrowing, "Thanks, Bell." And he left without another word. I let out a breath.

"See what I mean?" Angie asked, folding her legs beneath her.

I rolled my eyes, "You're off your rocker."

"Come on, Katie, live a little," Alicia popped a Bertie Bott's bean in her mouth.

I couldn't just oggle at my Captain. That was like… like… I struggled to find something that was just as bizarre. I mean, I'd noticed how cute he was last year, and I'd poked fun at his strong and sturdy figure before. But somehow it felt different now, with the girls staring at him. Like he was some sort of recently discovered magical creature with the power to cure pus-filled boils.

Not that it bothered me. Other girls were allowed to notice him. I was just looking out for him. Like always. That was our relationship.

"Hello, Katie?" Angie snapped under my nose. I blinked rapidly, then glared at her.

"You were in another dimension," Alicia noted, "No doubt thinking of our strapping Captain."

I narrowed my eyes. Then, standing, I sighed, "I'm going to find Leanne. You two can revel in your disturbing fantasies."

"We will!" Angie called as I closed the compartment door behind me. Those two were hopeless. Completely, utterly hopeless.
