Author's Note: Yay! I am back, with enough... data to work on my next chapter. We just had spring break, so I lost _so_ much time that could have been used on reasearch. *sigh* Anyhow, this next chapter will focus more on the Alicia/ Katie part, although there will be some parts with Onionhead Lee...
Rating: PG13, for much swearing, some "adult situations", implied alcohol abuse, threats of violence, and all those small things that make life wonderful, dah-ling.
Tip of the Iceberg Part III
By Rhi

Walking down the halls,
Do you ever feel eyes on you,
Some one watching,
Waiting,
For you to turn around?
- The Chase

"Hi, Katie! Why do you have an icepack on your head? Are you okay? What happened?" *bounces around happily*
"..."
"Ginny, if she doesn't want to talk about it..."*shoots dirty look at Ginny*
"God, sorry." *bounces around*
"Well... I hit my head on a window."
"Really?" *giggles* "that's pretty stup-"
"Ginny, shut up."

Dear Diary,
I hate the world today. Just when you think EVERYTHING is going fine, the rain comes out and pisses all over the friggin picnic.
I'll give a recap: we were in one of the carriages, headed to Hogsmead for another party of a Quidditch victory- we've won all but one game this season (the first one, which was against Slytherin). Suddenly, Fred says, "So, Katie, are you excited about going to Minnesota?"
It turns out that Katie's going to America, specifically, Minnesota, after she graduates, and she's probably not coming back to Europe.
For the rest of the trip, there and back, I was pretty quiet, watching Katie ramble on about Minnesota ("I'll ice-fish and write songs for my garage band while under the influence."), while the twins, Harry and Ginny (one of our latest additions as Keeper) tried Bubble Butt Bon-Bons, Nose Grows Chocolates, and Snot Enhancing Gumballs on Angelina, who was very unappreciative of being used as a guinea pig.
However, when everyone got back to the dorms, I threw myself one my bed and started bawling. It's not fair! We were winning, everything was going fine. And then she tells the team she's moving to Minnesota for next year! What the hell does Minnesota have that we don't?
I did feel pissed, but not anymore. Now, I feel kind of sick, like some one hit me square in the chest. It's not fair, that I should start liking some one who is leaving the country this year. Darn.
I feel like kicking something or throwing up, preferably both. It's kind of miserable, not being able to tell anyone... I would tell Angelina, I know I could trust her with stuff like that, but... I guess I'm too scared.
Life is a total bitch.

"Hey, Alicia!"
*turns around* "Go away."
"Alicia, I wanted to apologize for-"
"Lee, if you don't get the hell out of here, you're going to find a broomstick up your ass."
"It was an accident!"
"Fuck you!"
"Alicia... forgive me?" *bats eyelashes*
"Go. Away. Before. I. Hurt. You."

Dear Diary,
Today was a happy day.
I've calmed down about the impending doom of Minnesota. I mean, Carpe Diem, right?
She was terrific at the game. I swear, I never thought it would be possible for someone to score a goal with an eyepatch, but she did it. She also took on five Ravenclaws at the same time, and kept on playing after some stupid brat tried to kill her with a Bludger.
The boys got kept back for some reason, so it was just Ginny, Angelina, Katie, and me in the carriage-we had so much fun. Angelina was teasing Ginny about Colin, and Katie was telling us (in a very slow voice so Ginny could understand) about the time she got up early to watch the sunrise and found Hagrid bathing with the giant squid.
For some reason, Katie started staring at me. She was smiling-I couldn't figure out if I had spinach between my teeth or I was growing antennae, so I freaked out and hid behind a curtain-we all started laughing.
It was terrific-the girls' night out, if you will.

IN THE COMMON ROOM
*runs into room, holding an (upside down) poster of Michael Jackson* "THE GREEN PICKLES WILL GET US! THEY'LL GET ALL OF US!"
*looks over* "Alicia, is Katie always like this?"
*sips tea* "Nope. Either, there's a game coming up or the aliens have landed."

Dear Diary,
What a horrible wonderful day!
I didn't see her all day (we had our selected classes) until the dance, which the teachers had planned for us.
I was wearing a too-tight halter-top, baggy pants, teased hair, and too much makeup to be comfortable. She was relaxed as always in a burning alligator t-shirt and jeans.
I danced with random guys, mostly younger, that I didn't know and didn't care about. Then Fred asked me to dance, so I did. She was (for the first and last time the whole dance) dancing with George, and started when she saw me dancing with the twin. George winked, as did Malfoy-what got into him?
I felt disgusted with myself-he probably wouldn't have danced with me if it weren't for the top. I wanted to run away and hide.
As for the rest of the dance, she spent it joking with Draco, and I talked with Cho, Angelina, Padma, and that stupid slut, Lavender-has she been putting on weight?
At the end, we milled around, still gossiping, and wonder of worlds, we were right next to her. Somehow, we got to the subject of hair.
"Blue streaks with green underdye" finally got her attention, but she left with the twins. I dragged Angelina and myself up the stairs.
The last I saw, she was in the common room, staring into space while the twins imitated the more... interesting dance moves of the "illustrious Potter" and his clique.

*stares into space*
"'Lici, what's going on?"
"Huh?"
"You're always staring into space, you're never happy unless there's a Quidditch game or practice, and you don't seem... alert."
*laughs* "I'm just not coordinated in the mind and body."
"'Lici, are you okay?" *looks worried*
"No, but it's not fatal."
"Is it about Lee?"
"Listen, 'Lina, I don't want to talk about it. Not right now."

Dear Diary,
It's really not fair. I know that there's a probably zero "deviant" tolerance here, so what should I do? I obviously don't have the courage to talk to anyone, but I have to. I've asked my parents their views on homosexuality a long time ago and they are (tacitly) against it. The teachers I could talk to couldn't help, and my friends are out of the question.
The worst part is there's only about three weeks left before graduation, time is running short. What's a girl to do? Should I tell her? Should I forget about her, knowing she'll totally leave my life in a few months?
