I own nothing. JK Rowling obviously does.

Coming back to Hogwarts after my last Christmas break is a bitter sweet. I love being back to see all of my friends, but my life becomes a jumbled mess between everything I have to do. Qudditich practice, working in the hospital wing, classes, homework, and my friends leave practically no time for sleeping or eating.

I was walking to transfiguration when Harry burst out of McGonagal's office with Ron Weasley. I stare at him in shock as he holds a brand new Firebolt proudly. "I finally got it back!"

I smirk at him, "There's no way we can lose with you on that broom!"

"I'm going to go find Wood!" He beams at me, and I realize that I hardly ever see Harry happy. He always seems worried about something, deep in thought, or maybe he's just too tired after practices with the tyrant Oliver. Hmm, speaking of Oliver. I can't decide if him and Olivia are together or not. His family's reaction to his girlfriend confused me at the new year's ball. After discussing it with Ang and Alicia we realized we just assumes they were dating. No one ever said they were officially. Maybe they are just... NO Katie! just get to class and focus on getting an O in transfiguration.

...

That evening practice was flawless. Even Madame Hooch couldn't get over the balance of the broom. We were like a well oiled machine, and Harry caught the snitch as soon as he decided to go after it. Besides a little lecture on the Chang girl playing seeker and dementors, Oliver couldn't even give much of an after practice speech because he was so happy.

I hurried to the shower, because I was meeting with Cedric tonight for him to help me with the arithmancy due tomorrow. That class will be the end of me. I turned off the water and was drying off with my towel when I realized with a jolt I forgot my clean clothes in my locker. I sighed in frustration. This used to happen to me all the time, but I had gotten better at it this year. I hate putting back on my dirty clothes, "Alicia?!" I call. Praying that she waited for me.

"What Katie?" She calls from the other room. I can hear other voices so I guess more of the team is still here too.

"Could you possibly bring me the clean clothes in my locker?" I ask sweetly.

"Not again!" She laughs and bring them in. I hear Fred, "Do you want the thong or lace panties?"

They're all still out there laughing when I come out in my clothes. The entire team besides Harry is sitting around in various states of dress basking in the great mood from the amazing practice.

"so what did you decide on Katie?" George smirks.

"Wouldn't you like to know," I wink at Alicia and hurry to the library. I have no idea what I would do if Cedric didn't meet with me to go through arithmancy. Honestly I would probably be getting an acceptable, which I have never gotten before. The information just doesn't click with my way of learning. I set my bag down and smile at him. "Sorry practice went a little later than I thought. I hope you haven't been waiting long."

He shrugs and looks up from his charms homework, "Don't worry about it Katie. My practice would have gone late if I had a Firebolt at it. What are friends for?"

I smile at him and we get to work. Only talking occasionally about areas we don't understand of the homework. There are not many people who can transfer from potential love interest to friends, but we really did it. Maybe it's because I always had a thing for someone else ...

...

Arithmancy class with Slytherin right before a game weekend is never fun, but today was especially dreadful. The atmosphere was so charged you could cut the tension with a licorice wand. You would think we were playing them, and not Ravenclaw!

Maybe all the extra animosity was due the fact that Harry had gotten his Firebolt back, and the Gryffindor team was unbeatable. Flint was focusing his harassment on me, and seemed to be having a great time doing it. I couldn't make it through the halls for 5 minutes without him yelling something or sending a hex my way. The worst is when he tries to sneak up on me in the corridors and whisper threats in my ear. He's always been a git, but this was almost unbearable.

Due to Flint's antics Oliver has decided he is my personal body guard when he doesn't have his own class to attend or need to be lecturing another member of the team. The rest of the team loves it because Oliver is spending less time annoying them, but all this extra time with my captain is putting me on edge. Oliver on the other hand seems so relaxed I'm almost a little worried about his sanity. The rest of the team thinks he's a bit frantic, but whenever he's around me he seems calm and confident about the way the game is going to play out. I think qudditich might have finally caused him to go crazy.

...

At a quarter to 11 Oliver herded the Gryffindor team to the locker room. The weather was perfect for a match with no visibility problems like there were in the hufflepuff game. The entire school was making their way to the stadium. Even once we were all changing into our uniforms, the noise from the stands could be heard.

"You know what we've got to do," Oliver looked at each of us as we were preparing to leave the locker rooms. "If we lose this match we're out of the running. Just- just fly like you did at practice yesterday, and we'll be okay!"

I could tell he was nervous, but he looked every bit the confident captain as we walked out onto the field to a tumultuous applause. The Ravenclaw team was already standing in the middle of the field, as we made our way up to them. Oliver shook hands with Davis and the game began. Lee Jordan's voice started to commentate, and I kicked off the grass leaving my nerves behind me.

Ang passed me the quaffle, and I streaked towards the Ravenclaw posts as Harry flew past me in the opposite direction. Maybe he was about to catch the snitch. I hurried towards the goals and shot past Davis. I had to score at least once before Harry caught it!

"Good Shot Katie!" Alicia yelled to me as we hurried back to defend our side.

As it would turn out there were quite a few near catches for Harry, but before long the score was 80 to 0. I could tell Oliver was getting frustrated with Ravenclaw's beaters and seeker, who kept getting in the way of Harry catching the snitch. The Chang girl wasn't even looking for herself, she was just marking Harry.

Oliver let three goals past due to his continual yelling at Harry. After a particular block by that Chang girl Oliver was almost to his limit, "HARRY, THIS IS NO TIME TO BE A GENTLEMAN! KNOCK HER OFF HER BROOM IF YOU HAVE TO!"

Just as Harry started to streak across the field yet again, I saw them! Three tall, black, hooded dementors were on the field! OH NO! My heart stopped, because I knew Harry was going to fall. Suddenly there was a huge silver-white animal rushing towards them, and Harry continued flying towards the Ravenclaw end! "GO HARRY GOOOOOOOOO!"

Madame Hooch blew her whistle signaling the end of the game, and I couldn't fly fast enough over to Harry. We were all hugging out of pure elation. I even gave him a kiss on the cheek, which seemed to embarrass Harry. The roars of the Gryffindor crowd were deafening, but I could still hear Oliver yell, "That's my boy!"

Somehow I found myself among the rest of the Gryffindor team and fans back in the common room for a celebratory party. The twins disappeared for a while and came back with mountains of food, butter beer, and of course fire whiskey. Everyone is here having a great time.. The party is loud and fun, but after only one fire whiskey Alicia dragged me up the stairs.

"What are you doing Alicia? We deserve this celebration after the hell Oliver has put us through at practices!"

She smirked at me, "I know, now go shower, and I will explain. BUT HURRY!"

I looked at her in confusion before I followed her orders. She looked absolutely giddy, so I couldn't disappoint her. Plus I really needed to shower. After my quick shower, she charmed my hair dry and quickly curled it. I made no objections, even as she started to do my make-up. I was cooperative until she took out the little black dress from her closet.

"No way Alicia. No one is dressed like that down there," I cross my arms .

"There are more than you would think Katie! I know you weren't trying to look at Olivia but she is in one waaaaay sluttier than this. Plus, I want to wear this blue one to grab George's attention. Wear a dress with me so I feel comfortable," she finishes innocently.

I narrow my eyes at her but grab the dress regardless, "I know you have some sort of plan, but I'm doing this for you anyways. I'm only wearing this because you and George are perfect together, and I love you."

She beamed at me, "A plan, AND a backup plan. Just go with the flow and have a good time tonight Katie. Let's get back down there! We look HOT! George won't know what hit him."

We began to go down the stairs, and I couldn't help but to feel a little nervous. The black dress is short and hugs my curves. The neckline shows a bit more cleavage than I am comfortable with, but the curly blonde hair down my back was the part that I could tell would attract the most attention. It's really eye catching, and always surprises people when I wear it down. My hair is probably my most dramatic feature. Oh well, I'll let Alicia have some fun thinking she's planning something! I giggled, grabbed Alicia's hand as we took another fire whiskey, and joined Angelina dancing.

"Good job Alicia! Every male in the room is in shock from her appearance. By the way Katie, if later tonight you're worried about how I will react about something, just ignore it."

I look at her in shock, "WHAT? I don't think I heard you right over the music." She just smirked and hurried away with a 7th year boy. I turned towards Alicia, "What was that about?"

She was looking behind me shyly, "Oh nothing, but here comes George. How do I look?"

"You look good and you know it, but what was Ang talking about?"

Suddenly there's an arm around my waist and I'm turned around towards Fred, "Wow Kitty Kat, you look gooooooood."

I laugh, "That was actually really smooth Freddie. I'm impressed. If you hadn't used that ridiculous nickname I wouldn't believe it was you."

He raised an eyebrow and began to dance with me to the music. He brought our bodies closer together moving us almost inappropriately to the fast beat, and touched my cheek with the pad of his thumb. I give him a questioning glance, "It's my job to make Oliver wish he were dead tonight. Just trust me and have fun. We planned this a while ago, and are just getting to implement it."

I frown, "You shouldn't listen to Alicia and Angelina. He doesn't like me like that, and I'm working on changing my feelings too. We aren't even really speaking that much anymore. That's a start for me."

He grins at me and moves his hand to my bum as he leans down to whisper in my ear, "I happen to know all of the facts. Don't you want to have a little fun? or are you scared?"

I can't even begin to imagine what we look like to the rest of the common room. I step back and put my hands on my hips, "Fred this isn't going to do anything but hurt Ang. It won't make him jealous.." I turn and walk towards the fire whiskey table and down another drink. I pick up my fourth when I smell him. I sigh and turn around, "Oh hey Ollie. Good game!"

He smiles at me, "I don't even mind you called me that. You played well today Kates, but I noticed a few things about the quaffle movement that-"

Dang, I'm a little foggy from the drinks ..I held up my hand to stop him, "No WAY am I talking qudditich tonight. I deserve a break, Wood!"

"Okay." He shrugged and took the fire whiskey from my hand, "Sorry, but you can't have anymore if you're going to wear a dress like that. The guys will take advantage of you, which reminds me. What was Fred saying to you before? He seemed awful touchy."

I look down at my dress, "Why does everyone keep bringing up this dress? Does it look bad or something?"

Oliver started to blush and rubbed the back of his neck. He opened his mouth to respond when Olivia swooped in pushing me aside and kissed him full on the mouth. I took another step back and looked awkwardly around the room. I saw Alicia signaling me to join her, George, and Fred across the room. I picked up a fire whiskey and hurried across the room. I walked up to the love seat they're sitting on with an embarrassed smile. Well Fred and George are sitting, and Alicia is on George's lap. I smile at her with my eyebrow raised.

She blushes, "I can't believe Olivia just pushed you aside like that! Why is she even here celebrating? Her team lost today!"

Fred smiled at me and glanced behind me. He took my hand and brought it to his lips. Then with a gentle yank of my arm he brought me down into his lap so I was facing Alicia and George. I laughed, "You are so smooth tonight Fred! Seriously where do you come up with this stuff?!"

He leaned forward and whispered in my ear as he wrapped his arms around me pulling me closer, "I'm a hopeless romantic for a good cause." I looked at him as he tried to look innocent and I threw my head back in laughter.

Alicia starts giggling, "OhMyGod! Look at his face! I think he wants to come over here, but he can't because Olivia is here! He looks sooooo mad. Fred you need to kiss her."

I gasp and glance at Alicia, "WHAT?!"

She's turned towards George and whispers something to him. He smirks behind me and then looks back at Alicia lovingly. They are so cute together. All of a sudden I notice Fred's hand move from my waist up my back and it starts to play with my hair. "Katie you really do look beautiful tonight. If I didn't think I was hopelessly in love with your best friend I don't think I would let Oliver have you."

I look at him with a smirk, "First of all, Oliver doesn't want me, but now I get what Ang said earlier."

He beamed at me, "I knew she liked me back."

"But alas, you're stuck here with me because of some pointless plan you all made," I shrugged sadly.

He was searching my face, "Katie, you're my friend and I would do anything for you. It's just a perk that you're so attractive.. I know I'm going to pay for this later, but he's looking right ..now."

He leaned in and lightly brushed his lips against mine as he moved his hand to my neck. His lips were still basically against mine as he whispered, "Katie, put your arms around me. George and I are taking you two upstairs."

I did as he asked as he started to kiss my neck. It was a little weird that this was Fred.. I felt his weight shift as he stood up and made his way across the room. He moved his lips back to mine and took off at a run. He shifted me so I was thrown over his shoulder and I shrieked, "FREDRICK WEASLEY! PUT ME DOWN!" He laughed and I noticed George did the same to Alicia. I waved to Ang with a wink as Fred darted up the stairwell into the boys dorms. As soon as we got into the 5th year's dorm the twins put us down on the bed and then started to strip.

I giggled, "Hey Alicia, do you have any one dollar bills? I seem to have forgotten my stripper money."

She started to giggle and laid back on the bed as the boys took off their pants. She was blushing, and couldn't watch. There was a noise out in the hallway and the twins jumped on the bed in their boxers on either side of us and smirked at each other. We were all four laying across the long side of the bed. Fred handed me a pillow, and put his arm around my waist. George did the same thing to Alicia, so I smiled.

There was cussing out in the hall below, and could barely make out Oliver's voice. I stiffened and looked at Fred. He rubbed soothing circles on my back and whispered, "Just pretend you came in here and passed out. Jordan is going to stall him as long as possible."

"Please Katie," Alicia whispered.

I nodded and turned toward Alicia so Fred could put his arm around me like we were spooning. After about 5 minutes of waiting in silence the door crashed open and Alicia whimpered softly. I could tell she was nervous.

I concentrated on breathing evenly as I heard footsteps loudly coming towards us. "What do you think you're doing?!" Oliver asked in outrage. He tried to whisper, but it came out louder.

Fred shifted onto his elbow and pulled me closer, "I don't know why you're reacting like this Wood. Nothing in this room concerns you, even if we were having a foursome. Shouldn't you be with Olivia?"

George shifted and I could tell he pulled Alicia closer to him. Oliver must be angry, because Fred tensed and moved slightly away from him. Why was Oliver even mad? Was he thinking about what Kevin would do if he found out about this? what Kevin doesn't know, won't kill him.

"Over half of my qudditich team is in here, or course it concerns me! You guys are taking advantage of how much they had to drink," Oliver said in a low voice. "I tried to warn Kates, but I never would have thought you would sink so low Weasley."

I was annoyed, because like always it's about qudditich. Also.. Of COURSE Oliver didn't think I was good looking enough to just get a boy on my own. Apparently Fred only wanted me because I wouldn't say no. I decided I had had enough, so I did the only thing I could do besides wake up and talk to him. I REALLY didn't want to deal with that, so I sighed and turned towards Fred. I wrapped my arm across his chest and snuggled closer, just as I had done with Oliver in the great hall, "mmmmm" I said quietly so they could just barely hear.

I felt Fred freeze, but then he pulled me close and put his hand on my bum, "Oliver, we both know any guy would want Katie any day of the week. I just hope she still wants me tomorrow, because I'm not using her. Can you pass us the blanket from George's bed on your way out?"

"I don' think I should leave them with you," Oliver said with a scary low voice and took a step closer to them bed.

I heard a shift from the other side of the bed, "Go find Olivia and stop ruining our fun. You're just jealous because we left with the two prettiest girls in the room." George answers annoyed.

"You both know that's not why I'm here," He said louder.

I heard Alicia pretend to be woken up and yawn, "What's going on?"

"Nothing's wrong babe. Just go back to sleep. Oliver is leaving now, " George said gently.

"Oh.." She says quietly. "Night Oliver."

"I can't believe-" Oliver started, but stopped.

"We warned you Wood. Now leave." Fred said in a voice I had never heard before. I was honestly a little scared.

I fell asleep listening to the twins discuss future pranks soon after Oliver left. I wonder if they all thought tonight went according to plan..

Give me some reviews(or else)!
