Disclaimer: I'm running out of different ideas to put here. How's this? I
do not own JKR's HP characters, and do not have enough money to buy them.
If I did, I doubt I would be writing this story for you. So sorry!
.::WiNk::.
A/N: the last chapter was really long. Get used to it. And if you have any ideas at all on how to make this story better, I will use them. I have no more ideas for this story. I already have the next one nearly finished!!! Thanks! Peace out! ((no, I am not a crack-pot hippie!))

~!@#$%^&*¤°Two weeks before Christmas°¤*&^%$#@!~
Avril was sitting alone in the Hufflepuff common room early one morning. They were going to Hogsmeade in a while, and were discussing what they were going to get their boyfriends.
"I don't know if Cedric even likes me anymore. I mean, he's got the hotts for that Chang girl in Ravenclaw, again. I can tell. I've been with him so long I can practically read his thoughts." Avril said gloomily.
"So, when is that Transfiguration thing due?" Avril said changing the subject.
"Ave, it's due Monday. I thought you said you were done?" Elle said.
"Yea, well, I lied. Okay I'm off to the library. If you see Cedric tell him I'll see him later."
"Well if you're here how are you going to get him a present?" Elle pointed out. Avril ran up to her dormitory to her get her books and some parchment.
"Here's some money. You could probably already guess what I was going to get him."
"Hmmmmm. If I know you, then you would get him something practical. Like the remebrall you got me last year."
"See! Now I can get my essay done and my shopping."
"But what about Remus? He's going to be looking for you."
"Damn! Uhm, tell him that I waited to the last minute to do an assignment. And next Hogsmeade trip I'm going to buy you three presents!" Avril said as she walked out the portrait hole. Elle shook her head. 'That has way too many things on her heads.' She thought.
~*~
When Avril reached the library she was lucky enough to find it almost empty. Except for a young girl with bushy brown hair.
"Hermione!" Avril called to her. Hermione looked up and motioned for Avril to sit down with her.
"I was just reading to pass the time. Can I help you find anything?" Hermione asked. Avril smiled reluctantly.
"Yes. I need everything on anamagi. I have to due a three page essay on them."
"Uhm, try that shelf, just there." Hermione said. Avril looked at the shelf.
"Thanks. I think this is all I need." She said grabbing a handful of books. "Breakfast is being served I think, if you don't want to stay here." Hermione smiled.
"I'd love to but transfiguration isn't my best subject. Bye!" and she left Avril alone.
Avril had pulled just about every single book off the shelves that mentioned anamagi. Then she sat down and began reading and taking notes. By noon time she had read more than half, in six hours. She was so tired all she wanted to do was sleep. She pushed the books out of her way, and lay her head down on the table. It wasn't silent anymore. More people had entered the library and were talking. Avril was almost asleep when she felt someone tap her shoulder. Unknowingly. She swung a hand up and hit the person in the face.
"Damn what was that for?" they asked. Realizing what she had done, Avril looked up at who she had hit. It turned out to be none other than Avril's Quidditch rival Oliver Wood.
"Wood, I've told you once, and I'll tell you again, I'm not giving away my team's secrets!" Avril said. Wood raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"I was just wondering if I could use some of your books for the transfiguration assignment." He said.
"Oh! Sure!" Avril laughed. "I'm nearly finished. Well with taking notes."
"I guess you waited until the last minute like me." Wood said. Avril nodded. He sat in the seat beside her.
"How about I give you a break and take notes of the rest of the books for you. Then we can just trade notes and everyone will be happy."
"You would do that for me?" Avril asked in disbelief.
"Yea, I guess. Well actually I just don't want to be up until midnight writing it." Wood confessed.
"All right then. I'll go get some lunch and then I'll be back. Do you want anything?" she asked. Wood shook his head.
'Now why does this seem strange' Avril thought. 'Oh yes! I remember now. He's been my enemy ever since last year when we both got on the Quidditch teams and even more so this year now that we are both captains!' Avril laughed to herself. She entered the Hall, and saw Hermione with two friends. They were discussing something intently, so Avril decided not to bother her. She sat down at her table and was immediately joined by her little "fans." She ate silently and shrugged off most of her questions. Half an hour later, Avril managed to sneak back to the library.
She found Wood, absorbed in his work. She resumed to her spot next to him and he didn't even notice.
"Well?" she said. Wood jumped out of his chair.
"Jeez woman! Don't do that!" he said. Avril laughed out loud. She put a hand to her mouth to try and stifle it.
"You....jumped......really high!" she said in between laughs. Wood sat back down, and he began to laugh.
"I guess it was pretty funny." He admitted, and then finally started laughing. They stooped after a while and just stared at each other. When Avril realized what she was doing she turned away.
'You have a boyfriend. So what if he's not faithful to you.' 'But he's not paying attention to me anymore.' 'You don't care. When he gets back he'll probably start making out with you.' He mind fought back in forth.
"Is something wrong?" Wood asked. 'Should I tell him about Cedric?' Avril thought. 'Well sure. Who else are you going to tell. You can't tell Elle. She'll make a big deal about it.'
"Nothing you would understand." Avril answered. 'Smooth. Now he knows somethings wrong.'
"Try me." He said. Avril turned to face him.
"Well, I've been going out with Cedric for two years now, and he doesn't seem to be interested in me anymore. So i don't know if I should call it quits with him, or be used for looks while he cheats on me with younger girls."
"You know what. You're absolutely right."
"I am? About what?"
"I don't understand. But if he's smart, he wouldn't get in your way."
"Why do you say that?" Avril asked, astonished that someone had better advice than she did for once.
"Well, you could probably have any guy in this school. And you chose Diggory. So now, people think that he's the "golden boy"."
"What are you trying to get at?"
"By now, everyone seems to think that if he's good enough for you, then he must be the best." Wood's words went straight into Avril like knives. 'What if he's right? What if I am just for show?"
"Uhm, thanks for the help. I have to go." She said as she picked up her notes and stood up.
"But you don't have my notes, that's okay I'll get them from Elle." Tears began to fall down her cheeks. She left and Wood followed her. He knew she would get herslef hurt if she went alone. Finally she couldn't hold it in any more. She put a hand on the wall and started crying. Then she dropped all her notes and slid down the wall. Wood kneeled next to her. He tried to comfort her, but she just kept crying. He sat down next to her and put an arm around her. About a minute later, Cedric walked down the hall, with none other than Cho Chang under his arm. Avril didn't notice, but Wood did. Cedric released Cho.
"What the bloody hell are you doing with him Avril?"
~*~
Ooooh! The plot thickens! You probably hate me now, cus I said I was gonna leave Wood out until the end. Well sorry, but I couldn't wait any longer. and THIS IS NOT THE END. Maybe the middle. But I dunno!
