It was 5 am when Katie banged her alarm clock and sat straight up. Half-groans and one, 'Shut up Katie!', were emitted from the the surrounding bed. Katie sat there quietly until she heard the familiar snores and heavy breathing around her. She got out of the bed and grabbed her wand. Whispering, 'Lumos', she held the shining wand above her bed, looking for stains. Seeing one, she quickly muttered a cleaning spell and rushed towards the bathroom.
Katie took off her stained wristbands, "Damn!" Katie whispered, "I need to buy more wristbands!"
She quickly hid the wristbands deep into the clothes hamper and washed her reddened wrist. She looked at her new scars admiringly, loving every angriness and sadness that was pouring out of them. The redness was just glowing. Her eyes sparkled with glee as she skipped into the bedroom quietly and rifled through her trunk. After finding a pair of wristband, she took one of them and slip it on her scarred wrist. Then she started searching for her long lost wrist watch, Where the hell is it?!, and after ten minutes of intense ruffling, she found her dusty old watch, blew the bunnies away and wore it on the other un-scarred an un-banded wrist.
Katie snuck out of the bedroom and bounded down the stairs. She was feeling quite happy despite of what happened last night. Even if the cracks on her heart caused by the blow of Oliver's words were still there, fresh and new, she continued to ignored it. She had slashed a lot last night, and a lot of blood was lost. She knew it, and she was completely in love with that fact. But her happy skipping footsteps were stopped when she came across a slumbering Oliver on the sofa. He had a bludger-sized swollen bump on his forehead, looking so very sore and reddish. Katie smirked, though her mind screamed: What happened to dear Ollie?! Katie frowned at that thought and scolded herself, You are not to care for him. He's a fucking jerk, a damned self-centered bastard. Leave him. Marcus probably beat him up yesterday. Katie forced her frown inside and it was replaced with a happy smile, And serves him right!
She wriggled out of the potrait hole and walked quickly towards the Great Hall. Sure, it was only 6 am, but hey, breakfast starts at 5.30 am till 8.15 am! She quickened her steps to the Great Hall, not wanting to bump into the Headmaster, which she knew, from previous experiences, was always walking around from 5 am to 6 am before going for breakfast. Unfortunately, Gentleman Luck was not smiling at her, he was rather smiling at Misfortunate lady rather pompously and smugly, trying to win her hundredly-rejected heart. So Katie bumped into poor old arthritis-ed Albus.
"That quite hurts, Miss Bell," said a voice somewhere below. Katie looked down and saw the Headmaster sitting on his bottom, "Oh! I'm sorry!!! Sorry!!!" Katie cried as she helped the Headmaster up. The Headmaster thanked her and walked behind her.
Albus was thinking about how pretty Filch looked with his face all scrubbed up when he noticed Katie's swinging hands. He noticed that something was quite amiss, yet he couldn't put his finger on it. What is it... what is it? Albus thought thoughtfully as he continued studying Katie's hands, Has she lost a finger? No, all are intact. Are her fingernails long? No... they're short, yet clean for a quidditch player... Oh yes! Where is her other wristband? And why is she wearing her old second-year Power Rangers digital watch? Albus thought that it will better for him to voice his concerns, I think it'll be better for me if I voice my concerns!
Katie was walking quietly beside the Headmaster. She was feeling quite awkward. Sure, he's nice and all, but he just have this... aura around him that made him all so... powerful yet in a genteel way. Which was most scary and disturbing. She jumped when the Headmaster questioned her, "Where is your other wristband, Miss Bell? Thought I am delighted to see you being a fan of Power Rangers again, oh, are you a Zack fan? I just love the Black Ranger. Oh, uh, pardon, why are you wearing it again?" Katie paled, she was hoping that the Headmaster won't see her missing wristband, she was really lacking in clean wristbands at the moment, so she decided to save. "Um, well...." Katie suddenly remembered something,
"It is so annoying of you to ask us the time every ten minutes!" Cried and exasperated Angelina as she glared at the sheepish Katie, "Why won't you just wear your wrist watch?!"
Katie suddenly glowed with the sudden idea, almost blinding the astigmatic Headmaster, and replied, "I just got tired of asking people for the time!"
The Headmaster nodded, though quite suspicious of her sudden glow and thought, once again, that it was better for his troubled mind to voice his concerns, "Why did you glow suddenly, Miss Bell?"
"Oh! Ummm... it's a new facial product I'm wearing!!!" Katie muttered quickly, a bead of sweat on her eyebrow, Does he knows?!
"Oh... I see..." The Headmaster mused as he opened the door to the Great Hall and allowed Katie in first. He walked towards his seat and sat down, still musing. Then, he called out, "Can you recommend me the product?"
