Well, I guess that's how it's gonna be. But in your opinion, you think it was a right decision to do that? Anyways, tonight will be the night that Alex won't dance with Oliver. So what do you think?

First Dance Without You

        The next day, not much people were anxious to go to the welcoming dinner. The reserves were excited because they all knew each other. Since the students from Rodfurgh were all girls, they had to deal with guys asking them from Puddlemere.

        "Did you hear almost all the Rodfurgh girls got dates for tonight?" Angelina said.

        "Whoa. Are they like a dating school or what?" Kris said surprisingly.

        "Most likely." Alex replied.

        "This really sucks. I'm sure I'm not asking any girl." Said Fred.

        "Yeah. No way I'm doing that." George agreed.

        "Why don't you guys call up Melanie and Cristen?" Alex suggested.

        "Oh yeah!" said Fred.

        "Come on, let's go call them up. See you guys later!" Fred and George left the Quad and headed for their room.

        "Hey Alex, what if someone asked you to be their date?" Angelina asked.

        "I don't know. But for some strange reason, I don't Oliver asking me. I really don't." Alex shook her head.

        "Oh man. I just thought about it now. What if Vince asked you?" Kris asked.

        Alex thought hard. She didn't know what to say. What if Vince asked her? How would she react? She knew that he was attractive, but she didn't want to have anything to do with him. But in the other hand, she is having time off the relationship. "I'm not sure. He's okay and everything, I'm just not sure." She replied.

        Suddenly Grace came by. "Hey any of you want to watch the Top Reserves play?" she asked.

        "The top reserves?" Kris asked. Grace nodded.

        "Are they good?" Angelina asked.

        "Yeah. That's why they're the top reserves here at Puddlemere Wales." Grace said.

        "Yeah. I'll go. I wanna see some fast Quidditch!" Kris said excitedly.

        "Yeah! Me too!" Angelina agreed.

        "Alex?" Grace asked.

        "Yeah, after I get a hair clip. My hair is bothering me. You can go ahead I'll catch up." Alex said.

        "Wait I need to find Harry!" Kris said.

        "Don't worry he's there with Joeru." Grace replied. Alex headed back to the room. In the halls, she met Fred and George.

        "Hey there's a Quidditch match going on against all the Top Reserves if you want to watch." Alex said.

        "Is everyone watching?" Fred asked.

        "Yeah. Kris, Harry, and Angelina are there." Alex replied.

        "Oh cool! Thanks!" George said.

        "Aren't you going to watch?" Fred asked.

        "Yeah I'm just going to get a hair clip to hold this." Alex said holding her bangs.

        "Okay. See you there." George said as they both ran through the hall. When Alex got to the room, Vince was on his bed looking up at the ceiling. Alex thought it was weird but ignored it and looked for a hair clip. She put it on her bangs and headed for the door.

        "Hey Alex." Vince said just before she was about to leave.

        "What?" Alex asked.

        "Um, can I ask you something?" Vince asked.

        "Hmmm, you already did." Alex said.

        "Can I ask you two things?" Vince asked.

        "Okay, you asked one. What's the other?" Alex asked.

        "Um, you know the welcoming dinner, um, uhhh…" Vince was nervous. Alex was trying to make up the words he mumbled but instead she guessed it.

        "You want me to be your date?" Alex asked.

        "Um, yeah." He replied.

        Alex thought hard about this. She didn't want to be mean and at the same time didn't want anything to do with him. She knew he liked him. She knew it all along. But the thing is, does she like him? "Um well…" Vince waited patiently for an answer. "Um, okay. I'll…be your date." Alex let out a little smile. But once Vince let out his smile, Alex got a little weak at the knees. Alex liked guys with nice smiles.

        "So, um I'll see you later." Vince said.

        "Why don't you go with me to watch a Quidditch Match?" she asked.

        "There's a match?" he asked.

        "Yeah. The top reserves are playing against each other. Come on, everyone's there." Alex smiled.

        "Alright. I'll go." Vince smiled. Alex was about to blush after he smiled. From that moment, Alex found out that she did have feelings for him. But at the same time, she didn't want to feel that way about him. But she didn't want to mind it that much because she knew it would cause more stress. When they got to the field, the stands were partly filled. They spotted Kris screaming at the players while Harry and Angelina were trying to calm her down.

        "Um, that's Kris over there right?" Vince pointed at Kris. Alex looked and stared wide-eyed.

        "Um apparently, yes that is her. Come on let's go." Alex said as they both went to sit with them.

        "COME ON!!! STOP DROPPING THE QUAFFLE!!!" Kris yelled.

        "Kris!!! Sit down!!!" Angelina said.

        "Come on Kris!! We're going to get our asses wooped!" Harry said trying to force her to sit down.

        "Um, okay…" Alex sat down with the twins. "So who's leading?"

        "The team in red." Said George.

        "These players are almost as fast as the World Teams!" said Fred looking around the field.

        It was an amazing sight. Guys and girls flying all over the place, all of them playing to their potential. They flew around like super fast jets. The beaters were extremely aggressive in hitting the bludgers to the opposing team.

        "Damn…I want to hit bludgers like that someday." Said Fred.

        "You could if you give it your best." Alex said staring at the chasers.

        "I heard these chasers fly over 50 miles per hour." Kris said.

        "That is fast. I don't even know my speed." Alex said.

        "Yeah, me neither." Angelina greed.

        "These players take Quidditch super seriously. They never fool around. They were trained to be discipline and quick." Grace said.

        "Are they snobs? You know…like jocks?" Kris asked.

        "No." Grace shook her head. "They're like normal people. It's just that they are very serious when it comes to Quidditch. Most of them have been here in Puddlemere for 5 years. Took a lot of training to be one of the best."

        "They must practice really hard." Angelina stared at the players.

        "They do. They practice about 4 to 6 hours a day doing endurance drills, scoring, hitting, pushing to the max speed, everything." Joeru added.

        "Where's the seeker?" Harry asked.

        "Um, the two players wearing gray and black gloves." Grace said. Harry spotted them. One of them was a girl.

        "Whoa. That girl is one of the best?" Harry asked.

        "Um yeah, but she's back up. She's being trained a lot in case the starter gets injured." Grace said.

        "The best seekers are boys. They are playing Chasers right now for extra training." Joeru added.

        "So which team IS better?" George asked.

        "The team in Black." Grace replied.

        "Does the color of teams matter?" Vince asked.

        "Um yes it does. The Black are the 'Varsity' of the top reserves. The Red are the 'Junior Varsity' of the top reserves. Eventually, the red will become part of the Varsity team." Grace said.

        "Whoa look at the seekers go!" Harry pointed.

        "That is some fast shit…" Kris said.

        "Cool." Alex said.

        "They really do want the snitch don't they?" Vince commented. Alex nodded. Alex never noticed that her hand was right next to Vince's hand. Suddenly, he was about to hold hers.

        Alex felt it and just when the black team caught the snitch she stood and yelled, "GO BLACK TEAM!!! YEAH!!!!" She felt a little embarrassed but it was the least she could do.

        "Whoa. Look at the score!" Angelina pointed at the scoreboard.

        "Whoa! 270-120! That's almost like the World Cup scores!" Kris said wide-eyed.

        "Come on Kris, we have to meet with Madam Hooch." Alex pulled her.

        "Why?" She asked.

        "Remember, she's going to give us formal clothes." Harry replied. They all went back to the room and found clothes lying on their beds.

        "Wow! This is just…wow!" Angelina held out a lavender dress.

        "Check it out! I got some Versaci-looking clothing!" Fred looked at a black suit.

        "Cool!" Kris took off the plastic on her silver dress.

        "Looks like all the girls got almost the same type of dresses, and all of you guys have almost the same type of suit." Alex said.

        "What colors yours?" Kris asked.

        "Um, it's dark gray." Alex was looking at it with an impressed look.

        "I got bathroom first!" Fred yelled and shut the bathroom door.

        "Cheater…" Kris shook her head. Everyone had their turn to use the bathroom. The twins wore green and teal, Harry wore a suit with blue lining, and Vince wore a suit that was all black. By then, everyone was ready to go.

        "Is everyone ready?" George asked. The girls patted their dresses while the guys fixed their collars. "Okay, let's all go!" He opened the door and everyone went out.

        "Shall we?" Vince smiled as he stuck out his arm.

        "Of course." Alex returned a smile and crossed her arm with his. The dinner was at the event room, where meetings and other events take place. When they got there, some people were dancing, and some people were just talking. Everyone looked glamorous wearing formal clothes. They all sat in the table reserved for Hogwarts students.

        "Where's that Orvildon dude?" Kris asked.

        "Probably taking his time. You know presidents." Alex said.

        "Hey Angelina, wanna dance?" Fred asked.

        "Oh sure, why not." Angelina smiled. They went to the dance floor and began to dance.

        "Come on Harry, let's dance!" Kris smiled.

        "Of course!" Harry returned a smile.

        "What about you George?" Alex asked.

        "Nah. I don't really want to dance unless Cristen is here." George said. "Why don't you go dance?"

        Alex looked at Vince. "You want to?" Vince asked.

        "Um, I guess." Alex said as they went to dance too. Vince put his arms around her hips as she did around his neck. Alex spotted Oliver with Vira but she turned away.

        "So you and Oliver are having time out huh?" Vince asked.

        "Yeah. I guess I just needed a break." Alex said.

        "Look, um, sorry about the thing in the train coming to Wales." Vince said lowly.

        "Oh that. Um, it's okay." Alex let a little smile as he smiled back.

        For a moment there, they danced, staring at each other. Alex saw Oliver dancing with Vira but she didn't want to look. Suddenly, she felt dizzy again.

        "Alex? You okay?" Vince asked as they stopped.

        "Yeah…I'm…I'm fine." Alex lied. She had a soar pain in her head and wanted to just knock out. Alex looked around, everything was spinning around.

        "Are you sure? You don't look good…" Vince said trying to look at her. Oliver was looking at Alex and knew something was wrong. He tried to leave Vira but instead, Vira kissed him. That moment, Alex fell again. Vince didn't want to make a big scene so he brought her outside to a balcony. Kris and Harry rushed to see how she was doing.

        "Vince! What happened?!" Harry asked.

        "She feinted. She didn't look to well." Vince said putting Alex on a bench.

        "Was she sick?" Kris asked. Vince shrugged. Suddenly, Oliver came outside.

        "What…what happened?" he asked calmly but nervously.

        "She feinted. Why are you here?" Kris asked.

        "I just wanted to see if she was doing okay. I still care you know." Oliver reasoned. Suddenly, Vira came.

        "Oliver! Why are you here? I was looking all over for you." Vira saw Kris sitting and Alex lying on a bench. "You came here to see them?" Oliver nodded. "Oliver, it's just a waste of time. Besides, they are just little losers. Useless Quidditch player wannabes. That's what they are. Am I right Oliver?" He was silent. "Oliver?"

        "Um…yes…yes Vira." Oliver said looking at Kris with a sorry face. Kris didn't like it at all.

        "Come on Oliver." Vira went inside.

        "Go. Just get of here." Kris said.

        "But…" Oliver tried.

        "Oliver just go." Harry said.

        "Get out of here! We don't need you." Kris said. Fred, George, and Angelina came in and gave Oliver a bad look. They went to check on Alex. Oliver headed to the balcony door.

        "I…I'm sorry." He said with his head down as he went inside.

        "How is she?" Angelina asked.

        "She's doing fine. She should wake in a while." Kris replied.

        "She feinted?" Fred asked.

        "Yeah." Harry said.

        "Ow." Alex woke up.

        "Alex! You okay?" Angelina asked. Vince helped her sit up.

        "Yeah…I just felt dizzy." Alex replied.

        "Come on, let's go inside. Have a glass of water you know." George said.

        "Yeah. But, I want to stay here first. I need some air." Alex said.

        "You sure?" Kris asked. Alex nodded.

        "Okay, we'll be inside." Angelina said as they left. Alex looked on the view.

        "Vince…" Alex said just before he was about to follow the others.

        "Yeah?" he wondered. Alex turned back.

        "Thanks. Thanks for everything. I never had a chance to repay you." Alex said.

        "No. It's okay, you don't have to." Vince said.

        "No. You've done so much already." Alex said. Vince walked over to her side and watched the view with her.

        "No really. You don't have to. It's okay." Vince said.

        "I'll pay you back…someday. You'll see." She said.

        "This view's cool huh?" Vince said. Alex smiled as she nodded. Suddenly, a rubber band snapped from one of Vince's braids.

        "Hey, a rubber band snapped." Alex took out the remaining band.

        "Oh let me do it." Vince said.

        "No it's alright. I got it." Alex had to reach a little higher to braid his hair. She pulled out her wand and she put a new rubber band for his braid. "There. Good as new." Alex smiled.

        "Thanks." Vince smiled at her. Alex got that weird feeling again.

        "Your welcome." She returned a smile.

        Alex then fixed his braid and made sure it didn't fall or anything. Then Vince held her hand when she was about to pull it away. He put her hands around his neck as she held her hips. He drew closer to her. Alex didn't know what to do. Before she decided, his lips touched hers. She suddenly felt a rush into her brain. Pictures were flashing in her head. Sights of her and Oliver when they first started, when they had fun, on the first Quidditch game, the Christmas Ball, the first Quidditch Cup, their last finals, the Yule Ball for Quidditch, when he left for Wales, and when he surprised her in Hogsmeade. She didn't want to let go. The sensation felt good. She missed the feeling of a kiss in a long time. But suddenly, she felt something in touch her mind and she let go. She was breathing hard and didn't know what to do.

        "Alex?" Vince wondered.

        "I'm sorry. I…I need to go." Alex ran inside and looked for Oliver. She spotted him and grabbed his arm and she brought him to the balcony in the Quad so no one would find them.

*Yup. You want to know what happens next? R&R!!! Oh yeah, that song was Kylie Minogue's song "I Can't Get You Outta My Head."*
