When Belle awoke she smiled at the scent of Oliver near her. She sat up and
looked around but her smile fell when she saw only her pen. She laid it
back on top of her books and walked into her bathroom. She glanced around
and all of the other girls in her dorm were still asleep. Belle get a
shower and dressed into her uniform just as the other girls were waking up
to fight for the bathroom. Belle grabbed all of her books and walked down
to the common room. Roger was standing at the bottom of the stairs looking
angry and Belle wasnt ready to hear it this morning. "Oh how sweet you
waited" she said walking by him. "Isabel, you cannot make an idiot out of
me in front of my team" he said. Belle snapped and turned around "Roger,
you've known me for about four years, you can call me Belle now. As for
embarrassing you, you did that yourself." she said and turned back to leave
again. "Come on Isa- uh Belle, we have two more matches until the years
over. Can you please just become the player you used to be for those four
years?" he asked. Belle turned around gloomily "Like I say before every
match, dont worry about me, I'll go out there and do the best that I can"
she said and walked out of the common room.
When she exited the common room she was thinking about the match, she knew it was against Gryffindor and she didnt know how she was going to keep her eyes of Oliver long enough to block he goals. She was smiling as she walked down the hall and smacked right into somebody. She was about ot get up thinking it was Oliver but instead it was Blaise. He was talking with taller boy with silvery blonde hair. Belle apolagized and stood up dusting herself off. "Draco, this is my co-star Isabel Oakes" Blaise said once she was standing. "I really am sorry" she smiled pushing back a piece of hair from her face. The boy then introduced himself as Draco Malfoy. "Hopefully you can dance better than you can walk" he said smirking. Belle smiled again "I'm the lead cortazanne, you wont be dissapointed Mr. Malfoy." she said. "Well, I must be off to breakfast." Belle then walked straight by them and down to the entrance hall.
When she walked in she sat down at the Ravenclaw table. She opened her notebook and saw the message from Zach 'Good luck at this weekends match' Belle smiled to the notebook and wrote thank you to him. Belle took a sip of her drink and looked back at the book. 'Ginny and I split up.' it said. "Ginny told me last night, why did you two split up?' she wrote back. She was almost done with breakfast before a reply showed up. 'Dont wanna talk about it' she read and jerked her head up to see him leaving the great hall. 'I'll talk to Ginny about this tonight at Rehersal' she thought and got up from the table. She walked out of the hall and to her first Advanced potion class. She walked into the dungeon and up to see Professor Snape. "Good morning Professor" she said standing before him.
"Please take the empty seat in the back with Mr.Malfoy. He will be helping you catch up on all of the material we have covered." he said without looking up to her. She sat down with him "We meet again Mr. Malfoy" she said getting out her quill and a piece of parchment. He simply gave her a smirk as they copied the ingridients for a potion off of the board. After the class was over Belle packed up her books and rushed out of the room. She was walking down the corridor and saw Oliver walk oppisite of her. She wanted to run over, jump into his arms, and kiss him senseless but she couldnt and it made her hold her pen just a little closer. She was then greeted be Roger and he walked with her back to the Ravenclaw common room. When she walked in she droped her books onto the table and went straight to the window. She looked out and saw the Gryffindor quiddich team making its way back inside the castle.
"Tommorrow night is practice" Roger said from behind her. Belle turned around "I cant show up to it then she said. Roger looked angry "Isabel, the game is in two days but your all set on your stupid show" he yelled. Belle's jaw dropped "I'm forgetting you called the show stupid. Lets just go practice right now, just us two. You know I dont need that much practice and that I'm really good. Please Roger, just practice with me tonight" she said stepping up to maybe a foot away from him. He gave her a stern look and gave in "Just this once Belle!" he telled after her as she ran up for her broom. They ran outside and out to the quiddich pitch. Belle flew up into the air in front of the goals and saw Roger fly up in front of her. Roger had one quaffle and would throw it towards a goal and she caught it every time. They had missed lunch and had to hurry before they were late for the rest of their classses. They flew up to the steps and ran inside the building. They ran through the halls and Belle had to do a double take when she saw Roger run through a wall.
She stopped and saw him pop back out "its not really a wall but a great short cut" he said and they took off through it. They came out and she noticed they were close to the common room. They ran in and dropped their books off in their rooms before running back down and picking up thir books. Belle grabbed her books and couldnt find her quill so looked around for it. "Come on Belle, we're gonna be late" Roger said halfway out the portrait. " I cant I've lost my quill" she said diving under the table and searching the floor. "Belle, I'll lend you mine now come on!" he said pulling her out the portrait hole. They ran down the hall and she had no idea of running stright by Oliver without even giving him a glance. 'Somebody took my quill' she thought angrily. She had no idea that she was still holding hands with Roger until they stopped right outside the classroom door. She dropped his hand and walked in a few seconds before the class started. She knew her quill was taken by a Ravenclaw so looked around the room until she spotted it in the hands of Cho.
She was about to storm up and rip it out of her hands when Professor Flitwick entered telling everybody to take their seats. Belle took her normal seat in the back and she was mentally kicking herself because she had no quill now. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to see Roger holding out his for her to use. She silently mouth thanks and turned around for class. The class was long and she was so happy that it was her last until the show and the match. 'By next weekend my life should be back to normal' she thought smiling. She was smacked out of her daze when everybody got up to leave. She turned around to give Roger back his quill and saw that he wasnt there. She got a confused look and saw Cho in front of her getting up. Belle got up and walked over to her "I believe you have something that belngs to me" She said standing in front of Cho.
"You have something that belongs to me too, feel like a fair trade?" Cho said smuggly. Belle thought for a second "What do I have of yours?" she asked annoyed. "You have my title, I was supposed to be captain. You also tried to take Roger from me" she said angrily. Belle smiled "I got that position fairly, without using my body to attract him." she said narrowing her eyes at Cho. "Second of all I dont want Roger, you can have him but b warned, he doesnt want that much to do with you." she said. Cho flipped her hair accross her shoulder "Roger would have been mine if you had never interfeered" she huffed. "Then take him Cho! Take Roger and give me back my quill!" she yelled. "I know why you want this quill so badly, You need Oliver's scent to make it through the day, your so pathetic" she said and threw the quill onto the floor. Belle jumped down and picked it up "Oliver wasnt lust, it was more than that. Plus thats hard to lose what I had with him just because everybody else wouldnt like it." she said and turned around to leave. "You are such a fool Oakes" Cho said walking by her.
Belle sneered and picked up her books. She left the room and walked back to the Ravenclaw common room. She walked into the commonroom and ran her things up to her room. She opened her trunk and saw the cortazanne ring. She smiled to it and slipped it on her finger. "I need the strength to get past these next few days." she whispered. She then heard the bathroom door open and saw two of her roomates walk out laughing. Belle stood up hearing a tap at her window and looked over to see a large Pheonix. She was shocked so opened the window for it to fly in. It landed on Belle's bed and dropped off a large envelope and flew back out. Belle ran over to the window and shouted thank you out it before closing it and running over to her letter. One of the girls spoke up "Is that from the headmaster? I heard he sends all of his mail by a pheonix" she said to the other girl. Belle opened up the letter and read that tonight she was to stay at the Hogsmeade Inn and she would be missing all of her classes tommorrow.
She found a key in the envelope and smiled to herself. She looked over to her owl Rocket, and let out a hand for him. She put the owl on her shoulder and started packing an overnight bad for her stay in Hogsmeade. She grabbed her quill and the vile with Olivers scent in it and walked out of the room. When she walked down into the common room she saw Roger walking over to her "Where are you going?" he asked. Belle gave him an odd look as if to say none of your buisness. "I'm staying in Hogsmeade tonight, I'll be home late tommorrow night" she said and began walking. "Are you staying at the Inn?" he asked her. "Roger, why are you so interested?" she asked. "I just want to make sure your ready for the match in two days" he said. "For some reason I think Its more than that" she said giving him a questionable glance. " I just think your trying to find something else in it" he replied. "Perhaps your right, Silly me" she said an turned around to leave. "You never answered my question" he said. She just kepy walking "I know I didnt" she replied closing the portait hole.
When she arrived she saw Blaise accross the hall from her room "So your staying over too?" she asked him. "Yep, just the main characters were given these rooms" he smiled. "Feel like goin for dinner?" she asked. Blaise looked shocked "Are you asking me out on a date?" he said. Belle laughed "I thought it was more as I was starving and I was wondering if you were too. I could just go out and get something all by myself" she said starting to walk down the hall. "I'll come along, I'm starving too" he said and caught up with her. They walked down the main street of Hogsmeade and Belle saw a great place that made her mouth water. "In here" she smiled grabbing his hand and dragging him in. The resteraunt she picked only served very spicy food, and that was her favorite. They sat down at a table and were given some menu's. She smiled as the look on Blaise's face dropped. "All of this stuff is way to spicy for me!" he said putting the menu down.
Belle laughed and when the waiter came back around asked if his meal could be stripped of tabasco and all peppers. The waiter agreed and laughed because Blaise looked relieved. Belle ordered spanish rice with pieces of chicken in it, which was her favorite. When their dinner arrived they both dug in because they had rehersal in 45 minutes and had to hurry up to get there. Belle's food was so good and she loved everything about it but Blaise had trouble with his. The waiter hadnt told the chef about the tabasco and it was way to hot for him. Belle felt so bad once his eyes started watering and she said she'd buy him something to eat on the way to rehersal. Belle baught the dinner after fighting with Blaise about who was paying. She also baught him a choclate frog for him to eat on the way to rehersal.
When they showed up Belle walked back towards the dressing room and got into a corsette. She winced as it squeezed breath out of her and she leaned against the wall trying to catch her breath. She was then slipped into a long black dress and tied her hair back so that her face seemed more narrow. This scene was the scene with Blaise and where the cortazanne gives into her feelings for Nathaniel. She had practiced this scene a hundred times and loved it. Belle walked out onto the stage and saw Blaise sitting in a chair wearing a lonng sleeved white shirt and a pair of loose jeans. She bit her lip seeing as how he looked so good. "Ready my prince?" she said giving a smirk. He stood up in awe of her "Ready my princess" he said smiling. She walked over and sat down in the chair. She lifted a paper and saw him walk off screen. The scene started with Nell alone on stage sitting at a small table reading a newspaper.
"Good morning Nell" Nathaniel said walking in front of her. "Good morning Nathaniel" she said without looking up from her paper. "Are you cross with me Nell?" Nathniel said sitting beside her at the table. Nell through down her paper and stood up "why would I Nathiel, perhaps because you follow me every moment of the day" she said spinning and looking at him. "I really am flattered but enough is enough, leave me alone" she said and started walking off stage. "Nell, please dont" he said standing up and taking a few steps towards her. She turned around and looked at him "Why not?" she said looking at him. He looked away from her "Nell, ya know how I fell must I keep telling you?" he said. She got an angry look on her face and walked up to him "Yes, you have told me but you dont seem to hear what I'm telling you. I'm marrying Fredrick tommorrow and there is not a thing you can say to stop that. There isnt even anything I can say to stop it" she said and turned to walk away from him.
His hand reached out and caught her arm holding her back. "Nell, lets leave tonight. My family is American, we'll go there" he said turning her around. "Nathaniel, I'm not leaving." she said looking away from him. "I'm marrying Fredrick and its to death do us part" she said throwing his arm off of her and walking away. She was almost off stage when Nathaniel stopped her. "I love you Nell" he yelled to her. She stopped and looked back to him "I love you too Nathaniel she said and walked off stage into the side stage. She came back and saw Blaise "I love you Blaise" she yelled. "I love you Belle" he yelled and they ran together for a corny cliche moment. They both laughed and walked back stage. "I cant believe it tommorrow night, I can hardly wait" she said walking into her dressing room. He walked in with her and took a seat "So whats the next scene we're doing?" he asked.
"Its the scene where I visit you and tell you that I dont love you and that you were only in my cruel little game" she said smirking. "Must be hard getting rid of me like that" he gloated. Belle smiled and walked over to where he was sitting "Its all too easy" she smirked and held the door open for him. "I need to get ready for the next scene....so if you would excuse me" she said "Oh I dont mind" he said no moving. "Goodbye Blaise" she said and laughed when he got up and walked out with a pouting look. Belle changed into her costume ang went to leave her dressing room. She then heard a noise and a twig crack outside her dressing room. Belle pulled out her wand and silently walked towards the window. She looked down below her window and saw Oliver in the bushes below. "Wrong Play" she said looking down at him. He laughed and jumped intp her window and into her dressing room. "Must you always be a smart ass?" he said dusting himself off. "Only when the time calls for it" she said looking at him oddly. "What are you doing here?" she asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"I'm staying at the Hogsmeade Inn tonight with my parents, If you werent too busy with Roger I thought perhaps you'd like to meet with me." he said looking upset. "Roger? What about him?" she asked confused. "I saw you with him today running through the halls, why were you holding his hand?" he asked her. "Cho stole my quill, and I put the vile you sent me on it. So I was looking for it and he drug me out of the common room so we wouldnt be late and he drug me through the halls to class." she saw that he was thinking very hard about the whole thing. "Do you know how cute I find this?" she laughed. "I dont see why you find tis funny" he said to her. "Think about it Oliver, why would I go for Roger?" she asked him. "I have no clue" he said now looking up at her smiling face. Belle laid a hand on his abs "He doesnt have your rock hard abs or, your killer arse" she said a few inches from his ear. She glanced to her left and saw a smile on his face.
She stepped back and looked at him "Did you honestly think that I would go for Roger?" she said her face cringing. He laughed at her "I didnt know what to think, but I thought I'd hear it from you first" he said putting an hand on her hip. "I need to get back to rehersal, If I'm not out there soon then they'll send somebody back. " she said giving him a sad look. "What about tonight, will you meet me?" he asked. She looked down to the floor then back to him "Oliver I dont think I can. I'll be at rehersal tonight until late then I will most likely go to the inn and straight to bed." she said sadly. She walked closer and gave him a hug "I love you Oliver, and soon this wont be a problem anymore" she said. She looked up to his face and felt warmth flood through her and she smiled. Then he leaned his head in and kissed her lips softly. The kiss lasted for awhile and was only broken when someone knocked on Belle's door.
They broke the kiss and Belle spoke up "Yes?" She heard Ginny's voice call back to her "Belle, its time, what's taking so long?" she said. Oliver ran and hid in the closet as Belle opened the door. "I'll be out in a minute, I promise" she said running back to the closet. "Oliver, I have to go" she said opening the door and peeking in. He walked out of the closet and gave her one last kiss. "I'll be at the show tommorrow night" he said creeping out the window. He looked up at her "love ya hun" he said. She beant out of her window and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "I love you more" she said leaning back in her window. She then heard her door fly open and saw Ginny standing there "Now Belle" she said and stormed back out. Belle turned back around and looked out her window for some sight of him and saw only the normal view.
She sighed and walked back out onto the stage and into her position. Rehersal went flawlessly and she was exhausted once it was done. She walked back to the Hogsmeade Inn and up the stairs to her room. Right outside her door she heard something and she shifted around to see what it was. She didnt see anything so crept into her room and went over to see Rocket who was flapping his wings and hooting a lot. "You nutty bird, what's wrong with you?" she asked him. Her door ten closed and she turned around to see Draco Malfoy in her room. She gave him an odd look "Can I help you Malfoy?" she said. "You have been a very bad girl Ms. Oakes." he said taking a seat in her chair. "Mr. Malfoy, I've had a very long day would you mind skipping the bull shit act and tell me why your here?" she said taking a seat in the opposite chair. "You truly are just like Chris Oakes, I'm guessing he's your brother." he said.
She sighed and nodded "Yes, Chris is my brother. My whole family has been in Slytherin for years, yet I somehow was discarded to Ravenclaw. Worst punishment anybody could recieve, well there is also Hufflepuff." she said leaning back and letting her hair fall down the back of the chair. "You do seem rather Slytherin" he said sitting closer. Belle yawned and gave him a serious look "I am really tired, could you just tell me why you have graced me with your presence tonight" she said. "Do you normally sneak the Gryffindor keeper into your dressing room?" he said plainly. Belle's eyes widned "I guess asking you to keep it silent would be useless wouldnt it?" she said glaring straight into him. "Even a Slytherin glare to match" he said smiling. Belle stood up "What do you want Malfoy, I know you wont just forget it. Merlin forbid you make anybody happy" she said crossing her arms in front of her.
He stood up and walked over towards her "The only thing I want is to drive a certain Gryffindor insane" he said looking at her and smirking "and your just what I need to do it." Belle's arms dropped from accross her chest "No way, I'm not going to help you hurt Oliver" she said and walked over to her dresser. She pulled out a long nightgown and set it on top of her dresser. "All you have to do is after the show is over come down off the stage and give me a kiss" he said smirking. "Let me think about it" she said grabbing the gown off of her dresser. "I'm going to get a shower and when I'm done I'll have an answer for ya" she said and walked into the bathroom. After her shower she dressed into the long silky emerald nightgown and used a spell to dry her hair.
When she walked out she saw him still sitting in the chair. "I'll do it, now get out of my room" she said walking right by him. "Perhaps it wont be such a bad deal Isabel. You should consider it a privledge to kiss me" he said. She gave some new water to rocket and felt him walking up behind her "I said leave Malfoy" she said petting Rocket. She felt him right behind her and she smelled his cool cologne. She closed her eyes as the cool feeling soothed her. "Isabel, your making this deal more and more better for me" he said from right behind her. "Get out" she said and shoved him off from behind her. She walked over to the door and opened it for him to leave. "Remember our deal Ms. Oakes" he said walking out her door. She shut her door and crawled into bed. "Malfoy wont win this" she said and drifted off to sleep.
When she exited the common room she was thinking about the match, she knew it was against Gryffindor and she didnt know how she was going to keep her eyes of Oliver long enough to block he goals. She was smiling as she walked down the hall and smacked right into somebody. She was about ot get up thinking it was Oliver but instead it was Blaise. He was talking with taller boy with silvery blonde hair. Belle apolagized and stood up dusting herself off. "Draco, this is my co-star Isabel Oakes" Blaise said once she was standing. "I really am sorry" she smiled pushing back a piece of hair from her face. The boy then introduced himself as Draco Malfoy. "Hopefully you can dance better than you can walk" he said smirking. Belle smiled again "I'm the lead cortazanne, you wont be dissapointed Mr. Malfoy." she said. "Well, I must be off to breakfast." Belle then walked straight by them and down to the entrance hall.
When she walked in she sat down at the Ravenclaw table. She opened her notebook and saw the message from Zach 'Good luck at this weekends match' Belle smiled to the notebook and wrote thank you to him. Belle took a sip of her drink and looked back at the book. 'Ginny and I split up.' it said. "Ginny told me last night, why did you two split up?' she wrote back. She was almost done with breakfast before a reply showed up. 'Dont wanna talk about it' she read and jerked her head up to see him leaving the great hall. 'I'll talk to Ginny about this tonight at Rehersal' she thought and got up from the table. She walked out of the hall and to her first Advanced potion class. She walked into the dungeon and up to see Professor Snape. "Good morning Professor" she said standing before him.
"Please take the empty seat in the back with Mr.Malfoy. He will be helping you catch up on all of the material we have covered." he said without looking up to her. She sat down with him "We meet again Mr. Malfoy" she said getting out her quill and a piece of parchment. He simply gave her a smirk as they copied the ingridients for a potion off of the board. After the class was over Belle packed up her books and rushed out of the room. She was walking down the corridor and saw Oliver walk oppisite of her. She wanted to run over, jump into his arms, and kiss him senseless but she couldnt and it made her hold her pen just a little closer. She was then greeted be Roger and he walked with her back to the Ravenclaw common room. When she walked in she droped her books onto the table and went straight to the window. She looked out and saw the Gryffindor quiddich team making its way back inside the castle.
"Tommorrow night is practice" Roger said from behind her. Belle turned around "I cant show up to it then she said. Roger looked angry "Isabel, the game is in two days but your all set on your stupid show" he yelled. Belle's jaw dropped "I'm forgetting you called the show stupid. Lets just go practice right now, just us two. You know I dont need that much practice and that I'm really good. Please Roger, just practice with me tonight" she said stepping up to maybe a foot away from him. He gave her a stern look and gave in "Just this once Belle!" he telled after her as she ran up for her broom. They ran outside and out to the quiddich pitch. Belle flew up into the air in front of the goals and saw Roger fly up in front of her. Roger had one quaffle and would throw it towards a goal and she caught it every time. They had missed lunch and had to hurry before they were late for the rest of their classses. They flew up to the steps and ran inside the building. They ran through the halls and Belle had to do a double take when she saw Roger run through a wall.
She stopped and saw him pop back out "its not really a wall but a great short cut" he said and they took off through it. They came out and she noticed they were close to the common room. They ran in and dropped their books off in their rooms before running back down and picking up thir books. Belle grabbed her books and couldnt find her quill so looked around for it. "Come on Belle, we're gonna be late" Roger said halfway out the portrait. " I cant I've lost my quill" she said diving under the table and searching the floor. "Belle, I'll lend you mine now come on!" he said pulling her out the portrait hole. They ran down the hall and she had no idea of running stright by Oliver without even giving him a glance. 'Somebody took my quill' she thought angrily. She had no idea that she was still holding hands with Roger until they stopped right outside the classroom door. She dropped his hand and walked in a few seconds before the class started. She knew her quill was taken by a Ravenclaw so looked around the room until she spotted it in the hands of Cho.
She was about to storm up and rip it out of her hands when Professor Flitwick entered telling everybody to take their seats. Belle took her normal seat in the back and she was mentally kicking herself because she had no quill now. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to see Roger holding out his for her to use. She silently mouth thanks and turned around for class. The class was long and she was so happy that it was her last until the show and the match. 'By next weekend my life should be back to normal' she thought smiling. She was smacked out of her daze when everybody got up to leave. She turned around to give Roger back his quill and saw that he wasnt there. She got a confused look and saw Cho in front of her getting up. Belle got up and walked over to her "I believe you have something that belngs to me" She said standing in front of Cho.
"You have something that belongs to me too, feel like a fair trade?" Cho said smuggly. Belle thought for a second "What do I have of yours?" she asked annoyed. "You have my title, I was supposed to be captain. You also tried to take Roger from me" she said angrily.

"I know why you want this quill so badly, You need Oliver's scent to make it through the day, your so pathetic" she said and threw the quill onto the floor. Belle jumped down and picked it up "Oliver wasnt lust, it was more than that. Plus thats hard to lose what I had with him just because everybody else wouldnt like it." she said and turned around to leave. "You are such a fool Oakes" Cho said walking by her.
Belle sneered and picked up her books. She left the room and walked back to the Ravenclaw common room. She walked into the commonroom and ran her things up to her room. She opened her trunk and saw the cortazanne ring. She smiled to it and slipped it on her finger. "I need the strength to get past these next few days." she whispered. She then heard the bathroom door open and saw two of her roomates walk out laughing. Belle stood up hearing a tap at her window and looked over to see a large Pheonix. She was shocked so opened the window for it to fly in. It landed on Belle's bed and dropped off a large envelope and flew back out. Belle ran over to the window and shouted thank you out it before closing it and running over to her letter. One of the girls spoke up "Is that from the headmaster? I heard he sends all of his mail by a pheonix" she said to the other girl. Belle opened up the letter and read that tonight she was to stay at the Hogsmeade Inn and she would be missing all of her classes tommorrow.
She found a key in the envelope and smiled to herself. She looked over to her owl Rocket, and let out a hand for him. She put the owl on her shoulder and started packing an overnight bad for her stay in Hogsmeade. She grabbed her quill and the vile with Olivers scent in it and walked out of the room. When she walked down into the common room she saw Roger walking over to her "Where are you going?" he asked. Belle gave him an odd look as if to say none of your buisness. "I'm staying in Hogsmeade tonight, I'll be home late tommorrow night" she said and began walking. "Are you staying at the Inn?" he asked her. "Roger, why are you so interested?" she asked. "I just want to make sure your ready for the match in two days" he said. "For some reason I think Its more than that" she said giving him a questionable glance. " I just think your trying to find something else in it" he replied. "Perhaps your right, Silly me" she said an turned around to leave. "You never answered my question" he said. She just kepy walking "I know I didnt" she replied closing the portait hole.
When she arrived she saw Blaise accross the hall from her room "So your staying over too?" she asked him. "Yep, just the main characters were given these rooms" he smiled. "Feel like goin for dinner?" she asked. Blaise looked shocked "Are you asking me out on a date?" he said. Belle laughed "I thought it was more as I was starving and I was wondering if you were too. I could just go out and get something all by myself" she said starting to walk down the hall. "I'll come along, I'm starving too" he said and caught up with her. They walked down the main street of Hogsmeade and Belle saw a great place that made her mouth water. "In here" she smiled grabbing his hand and dragging him in. The resteraunt she picked only served very spicy food, and that was her favorite. They sat down at a table and were given some menu's. She smiled as the look on Blaise's face dropped.

She also baught him a choclate frog for him to eat on the way to rehersal.
When they showed up Belle walked back towards the dressing room and got into a corsette. She winced as it squeezed breath out of her and she leaned against the wall trying to catch her breath. She was then slipped into a long black dress and tied her hair back so that her face seemed more narrow. This scene was the scene with Blaise and where the cortazanne gives into her feelings for Nathaniel. She had practiced this scene a hundred times and loved it. Belle walked out onto the stage and saw Blaise sitting in a chair wearing a lonng sleeved white shirt and a pair of loose jeans. She bit her lip seeing as how he looked so good. "Ready my prince?" she said giving a smirk. He stood up in awe of her "Ready my princess" he said smiling. She walked over and sat down in the chair. She lifted a paper and saw him walk off screen. The scene started with Nell alone on stage sitting at a small table reading a newspaper.
"Good morning Nell" Nathaniel said walking in front of her. "Good morning Nathaniel" she said without looking up from her paper. "Are you cross with me Nell?" Nathniel said sitting beside her at the table. Nell through down her paper and stood up "why would I Nathiel, perhaps because you follow me every moment of the day" she said spinning and looking at him. "I really am flattered but enough is enough, leave me alone" she said and started walking off stage. "Nell, please dont" he said standing up and taking a few steps towards her. She turned around and looked at him "Why not?" she said looking at him. He looked away from her "Nell, ya know how I fell must I keep telling you?" he said. She got an angry look on her face and walked up to him "Yes, you have told me but you dont seem to hear what I'm telling you. I'm marrying Fredrick tommorrow and there is not a thing you can say to stop that. There isnt even anything I can say to stop it" she said and turned to walk away from him.
His hand reached out and caught her arm holding her back. "Nell, lets leave tonight. My family is American, we'll go there" he said turning her around. "Nathaniel, I'm not leaving." she said looking away from him. "I'm marrying Fredrick and its to death do us part" she said throwing his arm off of her and walking away. She was almost off stage when Nathaniel stopped her. "I love you Nell" he yelled to her. She stopped and looked back to him "I love you too Nathaniel she said and walked off stage into the side stage. She came back and saw Blaise "I love you Blaise" she yelled. "I love you Belle" he yelled and they ran together for a corny cliche moment. They both laughed and walked back stage. "I cant believe it tommorrow night, I can hardly wait" she said walking into her dressing room. He walked in with her and took a seat "So whats the next scene we're doing?" he asked.
"Its the scene where I visit you and tell you that I dont love you and that you were only in my cruel little game" she said smirking. "Must be hard getting rid of me like that" he gloated. Belle smiled and walked over to where he was sitting "Its all too easy" she smirked and held the door open for him. "I need to get ready for the next scene....so if you would excuse me" she said "Oh I dont mind" he said no moving. "Goodbye Blaise" she said and laughed when he got up and walked out with a pouting look. Belle changed into her costume ang went to leave her dressing room. She then heard a noise and a twig crack outside her dressing room. Belle pulled out her wand and silently walked towards the window. She looked down below her window and saw Oliver in the bushes below. "Wrong Play" she said looking down at him. He laughed and jumped intp her window and into her dressing room. "Must you always be a smart ass?" he said dusting himself off. "Only when the time calls for it" she said looking at him oddly. "What are you doing here?" she asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"I'm staying at the Hogsmeade Inn tonight with my parents, If you werent too busy with Roger I thought perhaps you'd like to meet with me." he said looking upset. "Roger? What about him?" she asked confused. "I saw you with him today running through the halls, why were you holding his hand?" he asked her. "Cho stole my quill, and I put the vile you sent me on it. So I was looking for it and he drug me out of the common room so we wouldnt be late and he drug me through the halls to class." she saw that he was thinking very hard about the whole thing. "Do you know how cute I find this?" she laughed. "I dont see why you find tis funny" he said to her. "Think about it Oliver, why would I go for Roger?" she asked him. "I have no clue" he said now looking up at her smiling face. Belle laid a hand on his abs "He doesnt have your rock hard abs or, your killer arse" she said a few inches from his ear. She glanced to her left and saw a smile on his face.
She stepped back and looked at him "Did you honestly think that I would go for Roger?" she said her face cringing. He laughed at her "I didnt know what to think, but I thought I'd hear it from you first" he said putting an hand on her hip. "I need to get back to rehersal, If I'm not out there soon then they'll send somebody back. " she said giving him a sad look. "What about tonight, will you meet me?" he asked. She looked down to the floor then back to him "Oliver I dont think I can. I'll be at rehersal tonight until late then I will most likely go to the inn and straight to bed." she said sadly. She walked closer and gave him a hug "I love you Oliver, and soon this wont be a problem anymore" she said. She looked up to his face and felt warmth flood through her and she smiled. Then he leaned his head in and kissed her lips softly. The kiss lasted for awhile and was only broken when someone knocked on Belle's door.
They broke the kiss and Belle spoke up "Yes?" She heard Ginny's voice call back to her "Belle, its time, what's taking so long?" she said. Oliver ran and hid in the closet as Belle opened the door. "I'll be out in a minute, I promise" she said running back to the closet. "Oliver, I have to go" she said opening the door and peeking in. He walked out of the closet and gave her one last kiss. "I'll be at the show tommorrow night" he said creeping out the window. He looked up at her "love ya hun" he said. She beant out of her window and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "I love you more" she said leaning back in her window. She then heard her door fly open and saw Ginny standing there "Now Belle" she said and stormed back out. Belle turned back around and looked out her window for some sight of him and saw only the normal view.
She sighed and walked back out onto the stage and into her position. Rehersal went flawlessly and she was exhausted once it was done. She walked back to the Hogsmeade Inn and up the stairs to her room. Right outside her door she heard something and she shifted around to see what it was. She didnt see anything so crept into her room and went over to see Rocket who was flapping his wings and hooting a lot. "You nutty bird, what's wrong with you?" she asked him. Her door ten closed and she turned around to see Draco Malfoy in her room. She gave him an odd look "Can I help you Malfoy?" she said. "You have been a very bad girl Ms. Oakes." he said taking a seat in her chair. "Mr. Malfoy, I've had a very long day would you mind skipping the bull shit act and tell me why your here?" she said taking a seat in the opposite chair. "You truly are just like Chris Oakes, I'm guessing he's your brother." he said.
She sighed and nodded "Yes, Chris is my brother. My whole family has been in Slytherin for years, yet I somehow was discarded to Ravenclaw. Worst punishment anybody could recieve, well there is also Hufflepuff." she said leaning back and letting her hair fall down the back of the chair. "You do seem rather Slytherin" he said sitting closer. Belle yawned and gave him a serious look "I am really tired, could you just tell me why you have graced me with your presence tonight" she said. "Do you normally sneak the Gryffindor keeper into your dressing room?" he said plainly. Belle's eyes widned "I guess asking you to keep it silent would be useless wouldnt it?" she said glaring straight into him. "Even a Slytherin glare to match" he said smiling. Belle stood up "What do you want Malfoy, I know you wont just forget it. Merlin forbid you make anybody happy" she said crossing her arms in front of her.
He stood up and walked over towards her "The only thing I want is to drive a certain Gryffindor insane" he said looking at her and smirking "and your just what I need to do it." Belle's arms dropped from accross her chest "No way, I'm not going to help you hurt Oliver" she said and walked over to her dresser. She pulled out a long nightgown and set it on top of her dresser. "All you have to do is after the show is over come down off the stage and give me a kiss" he said smirking. "Let me think about it" she said grabbing the gown off of her dresser. "I'm going to get a shower and when I'm done I'll have an answer for ya" she said and walked into the bathroom. After her shower she dressed into the long silky emerald nightgown and used a spell to dry her hair.
When she walked out she saw him still sitting in the chair. "I'll do it, now get out of my room" she said walking right by him. "Perhaps it wont be such a bad deal Isabel. You should consider it a privledge to kiss me" he said. She gave some new water to rocket and felt him walking up behind her "I said leave Malfoy" she said petting Rocket. She felt him right behind her and she smelled his cool cologne. She closed her eyes as the cool feeling soothed her. "Isabel, your making this deal more and more better for me" he said from right behind her. "Get out" she said and shoved him off from behind her. She walked over to the door and opened it for him to leave. "Remember our deal Ms. Oakes" he said walking out her door. She shut her door and crawled into bed. "Malfoy wont win this" she said and drifted off to sleep.
