Chapter Two:

~

We were outside this time. Our hands weren't touching, but he did have his arm around me. It was still snowing, so I guess it was still winter. I wasn't looking at his face, this time I was staring at his hands. They looked smooth and muscular but the weirdest part was that they looked so familiar.

"Angelina! " I sat up in my bed. It was past midnight.

"Wha - ?" She mumbled sleepily.

"I had the dream again."

"Hmm, good ... " She said falling back asleep.

"I have to write this down." I rushed out of bed and grabbed my Diary.

If I opened the light in my bedroom light everyone would have woked up and gotten mad. Luckly the common room light was always on. No one would be up this late so I could have all the privacy I needed.

I sat down on the couch in front of the fire place.

(Dear Diary,

Guess what?? I had the dream again! And this one is better than the first one, MUCH BETTER. This time he was keeping me warm from the cold by placing his arm around me ... HOW SWEET!

You think it might be Devin?? I think he might be the guy, after all they have simliar smiles. I MUST I MUST I MUST FIND OUT IF ITS HIM!!!!!!

Yours truly,

Katie Ann Bell)

"Katie?" Oiver yawned from behind me. "Why are you up soo late?"

"I'm just writing in my diary." I slammed my diary shut so he wouldn't see what I wrote. "Wait a minute ... what are you doing up so late?"

"Left my bag." He sat down beside me and opened it. "See this notebook? It contains all my plans."

"Quidditch plans?"

"Not so loud! Somebody might hear you. you never know if there's a spy around." His eyes twinkled as he grinned happily. I love it when he does that, he alwlays look so innocent. (Wich he obvoiusly is not.)

I reached over to grab the notebook from him but he just pulled it away from me. Again i pulled closer and again he pulled away. I probably leaned to far cause the next think I knew was that I fell over the couch.

"Katie you know your never going to be able to get my notebook."

"Whatever ... just help me up."

He stod up in from of me and help his hand out for me to grab. Hold on, is it jut me or does Oliver's hand look exactly like the one in my dream?



I made a grab for it just to make sure it wasn't the hand in my dream. My stomach did this flippy thing as I grabbed it.

"I'm going to bed." I told Oliver.

"Night." He said.

I watched him go up the starits into the boys dormitory before heading back to my own. It couldn't have been Oliver, I'm just imagining things.



++++++++++

We were recording our dreams in Proffersor Trelaway's class as part of our stupid morning ritual.

"Why do we even bother doing this?" Angelina complained. "Dreams arn't real anyways."

"Yes they are." I snapped. "Well I hope they are."

"Did I tell you about my dream last night? It was about you. I had a dream that you woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me about a dream." She trailed off with a confused look.

"It wasn't a dream dum dum. I really did wake you up to tell you about my dream."

"About Devin?" She asked.

I gave Devin a quick glance, "Yeah. You suppose they mean something? Like maybe I'm having dreams about the near future or something?"

Angelina got all exited. She danced her fingers aroung the crystal globe making the same sound Proffesor Trelaway makes when she is making a prediction.

"Ahh yes my dear, your dreams are correct. These things are going to take place in your near future." She said in her french accent. "For you see dreams work in mysterious ways, somethimes they happen because they want to tell you someting, somethimes they happen because you have feelings for a certain somebody."

Wow, this acctaully made sense.

"Very good Angelina," Proffesor Trelaway said. "You get an 'A' for today's assighment."

We began to laugh when Trelaway left.

"The G.Q.T meeting is now in session." Oliver slammed his fist on the table.

"Since when did we have meetings?" George asked.

"Well since your all here I'hv decided to make this a meeting."

"What are we discussing today boss?" Alicia asked.

"Practice season."

We all moaned.

"Come on People! We won't get anywhere if we dont' practice. Hey, I just had a great Idea. How about we just start practicing now?"

We refussed but it was no use. Oliver had gone to lecture mode and there was no way of stopping him except doing what he wants us to do.

The field was clear, no snow (it all melted due to global warming. Whatever that is.) and the sky clear.



Oliver had started us with the usual 'pass the golf ball to each other on our brooms stick'. Its prety much self explanitory.

"Lets pair up with someone different this time. Angelina, Harry and Fred will be one team, George and Alicia and me and Katie." Oliver ordered.

"Why is Wood always pairing himself up with you?" Alicia asked. I nearly shrugged and though t nothing about it.



I headed torward Oliver leaving everyone behind. We began to toss the ball to each other when Oliver noticed that the others where still on the ground.

"What are you waiting for?" Oliver asked.

Everyone got on their brooms and grabbed a golf ball.

"Oliver I though you said to pair up with someone different?" George asked.

I was surprised when Oliver had said nothing. Maybe he was sick?

"Shut up George." I said.

"No sirieously, why?" Alicia asked.

I stared at Oliver. He seemed naucious, I guess he really was sick.

"I just need a lot of help." I said reasonably.

"What are you talking about? Your the best, after Wood."

Again Oliver said nothing.

"Kay catch." Agelina shouted. She trew a ball at me and I caught it with complete grace. "See, your good."

I trew a ball aimelessly to prove that I sucked. I landed on Fred's head making a thump sound as it bounced off his head.

"Hey?!? who trew taht?" Fred glared at me. EH chucked a ball taht hit me on my head. Smack. Right in the middle. ANd if I was good I wold have caught that one.

I guess I might have falled off my broom and broke my thumb because the next thing I knew was that I was in the Hospital wing.

There was a blur when I opened my eyes. My only guess was that I got hit preety hard. I sat up and rubbed y head, everything wasn't a blur anymore. Madame Pomfrey wasn't anywhere to be seen, in fact the hospital wing didn't have anyone in it at all. Well except for Collin Crevey, some geeky second year guy.

My thumb, the only part of me that was broken, didn't swell up anymore so I guess I'm free to go. I placed my shoe back on my feet where they belonged and grabbed the door knob. But as I was about to turn it Oliver rame running in the room.

"Kay!" His face was scarlet. "Where's Madame Pomfrey?"

"I don't know." It was worst than I though. "Why what wrong? your not sick are you?"

"No, of course not." He replied. "at least I dont' think I am."

Madame Pomfrey came in the room. "Katie your awake." She gently smile at me. " Oliver, is there something wrong?"

"Yes." his face turned reder. I could tell something was very wrong by the way he was figgiting, Oliver never figgits.



"Very well Mr. Wood, step in my office."

I told Wood that I'd meet him back in the common room before leaving. But I couldn't help wondering why Wood suddently be sick. He was fine this morning.

"Perskinitly." I told the Fat Lady. She swung open revealling the common room packed with students. The G.Q.T was sitting around the couches.

Fred and George were talking about their newest collection to their joke shope, harmony gum drops.

"Watch this." Fred told everyone. He placed a gum drop in his mouth and swalloed it. He them opened his mouth and a woman's opera voice came out.

Everyone laughed as fred put on an opera show for everyone in the Common room. George joined him shortly. Wood would have loved this, to bad he had to get sick.

OUt of the corner of my eye I saw Devin laughing. And there it was, the smile. (Funny how things don't look as perfect as it was in your dreams.)

"Katie," Angelina sat beside me and stared at the same direction. "Why won't you go talk to him?"

"Nah,"

"Come on!" Angelina said. She grabbed my hand hand and made our way to Devin.

My heart began to beat a little bit faster. Devin was totally cute, but somehow I had a bad feeling about this.

"Hey." I greeted.

He stopped laughing at Fred and George and turned around to face me.

"Hey Katie." He said.

It was quiete for sometime. Angelina nugged me, "So Fred and George are funny."

"Yeah they are. But somethimes they act really stupid."

Woaw, did he just call mey friends stupid? He did, and did I do anything about it? No, I didn't. Instead I smiled and nodded my head.

"Hold on, my friends here," He got up and left me there feeling stupid.

++++++++++

The common room began to settle down as the time passed. It was now 10:30 and I was still working on my homework.

I yawned sleepily as I rolled the parchement up and stuffed it in my bag. The door swung open and Oliver came in. He seemed confused and annoyied at the same time.

"Wood!" I yelled. "What did Madame Pomfrey say? Is it bad?"

"Very." He replied. "And Madame Pomfrey won' teven tell me wahts wrong with me. She says its something I have to figure out myself.

"Is it contagious?" I gasped. "Your not going to die are you?"

"No." He snapped. "Of course not. At least I don't think so."

He is just sooo adorable when he's sad. I made him sit down beside me so that I could trick him to help me with my Potions homework. That should take his mind of his sickness.

And it worked. As a matter of fact I acctaully got my homework done before breakfast. That never happend before. The only problem was that it was way to late when we finished, maybe 12.

... We were snugglling together before he leaned over and gave me a kiss. It was so sweet and well, cool. I held his hands wich were still soft and muscular ...

I jerked awake finding my books open on my lap. Must have fallen asleep while doing y homework. I turned around and found Oliver curled up on the other side of the couch.

"Wood." I bend over and nugged him.

He opened his eyes slowly and looked around, "What time is it?"

"Late." I began to pack up.

"Did I fall asleep? " He yawned and streched his arms.

I glared at him and smile. " Thanks for your help." I said hugging him. "Night.

My wonderfull dream kepped replaying in my head. This was soo cool.
