When Belle woke up she heard a knocking at her door. She opened her door
and saw Ginny standing there. She walked in and took a seat where Malfoy
had sat the previous night. "Good morning Ginny" Belle said yawning.
"Belle, I came to ask you if Zack has been alright, has he?" she asked
biting her lip. Belle sat down and shook her head "Nope, he's been acting
odd, and has barely talked to me" she said. Ginny jumped up and tried to
leave "Thats all I wanted" she said and walked out of the door. Belle stood
up and rolled her eyes "goodbye to you too " she said and walked over to
her dresser. She pulled out a black pair of jeans an emerald halter top.
She drug herself into the bathroom and looked into her vanity "Today is the
day Isabel" she said to herself "Lets rumble" she said smirking. She ran
over to her dufflebag and pulled out her cortazanne ring.
Belle was brought back to reality by a peck on her arm. She looked over to see Rocket sitting there with a letter in his beek. "Did you forget how to hoot?" she asked him. Rocket hooted at her and cocked his head to the side. Belle rolled ehr eyes and muttered "Smart ass" while walking away from him with the letter. She saw the letter was from Chris and she opened it quickly. It only said "I'll see you after the show, Chris". She folded up the letter and placed it in her bag before walking back into the bathroom. She put all her hair up besides two pieces framing her face. She then packed up all of her things and made her way to the door.
Belle walked out of her room and saw Blaise "Hey" she said locking the door. "Ready for our last rehersal?" he said to her. "Sure am, I love the play and everything but I just cant wait until its over" she said yawning. "Late night?" he asked. "Yeah, I had an unwanted visitor last night" she said making her way down the stairs. He walked down with her and they were silent until they were out of the inn. "So who visited you?" he asked her. "I dont see how that is any of your buisness" she said yawning again. "seems as if I struck a nerve" he said opening the door for her to the theater. "Sorry, after very little sleep I get cranky." she said walking down the aisle and up the stairs.
"It was your friend Mr. Malfoy, he's blackmailing me." she said opening the door into her dressing room. Blaise walked in with her and took a seat in her chair "What's he blackmailing you with?" he asked. She turned around and gave him a can-you-be-serious look then rolled her eyes. "Can you do me one favor though Blaise? This is serious, and you cannot tell another soul about this." she said to him. He nodded and she bit her lip "I need you to give Oliver a message for me" she said. "Oliver? I thought he was done with." he said. "Can ya do it or cant you?" she said leaning back on her heel.
He nodded again and she told him "All you need to tell him is that 'I have to do it, sorry'" she said. "Well I have no idea what that means so no need for you to worry bout that" he said. "Blaise, I really need you to do this" she pleaded. "I said I'd do it" he said standing up. She hugged him "Thank you Blaise." A knock was heard at the door and she opened it to see Ginny "Come on you too, hurry up! We are going once through the full play before tonight." she said and ran back out.
Blaise gave her a wave and went back to his dressing room to get changed. Belle sat down at her vanity and smiled "your not getting to me Malfoy" she said. Belle got through the whole rehersal and was allowed to go back to the school for lunch. She had time for lunch and two hours before she had to get back to the theater. She sat own in the lunch room and ate lunch alone like every other day. She was used to being alone and liked it better that way. When she had finished lunch she walked back to the Ravenclaw common room.
She had just entered when she saw Rocket at the window. She rushed over and opened it "I thought you were back at the Inn" she said holding her arm out for him to jump on. She saw that there was a letter attatched to his leg and got it. "Meet me now, back at the inn" it said. She gave a side glance "Ok, there's only one way I will get there fast. Promise not to tell Rocket?" she said looking at him. He hooted and she laughed "Alright, pinky swear?" she said seriously. Rocket held out his claw and she shook it "Ok here it goes" she said and morphed into a large black hawk. She flew out the window along with him and she landed just outside of Hogsmeade. She changed back and put out an arm for Rocket "You promised" she said to him. The bird hooted and they made their way to the Inn. When she entered she looked around for who could have sent her the message.
She saw Oliver with his parents across the room and also Malfoy sitting in the corner watching her intently. 'Do I go to Draco or Oliver?' she thought. She then walked upstairs to her room to see who would follow her. She saw that Oliver hadnt budged but saw Malfoy get up nd head for the steps. She leaned up against the wall and refused to look at me. "Ms. Oakes, what a shock to see you here?" he said. "Bite me Malfoy" she said not looking at him. "You make this more fun by the minute" he said walking to a few feet in front of her.
"After tonight your done, and your leaving me alone" she huffed. "You see, I dont know about that Isabel. You may not want me to go away after tonight" he said taking a step closer so that his cologne hit her forcefully. She could feel her shoulders betraying her and rolling back. She closed her eyes and faced away from him as to not give him any satisfaction. "Get away from me, you snake" she said snapping her head back to him with an angry glare upon her face. "I see it will take awhile, but I'm not afraid of a challenge" he said before walking down the steps.
A shiver went down Belle's spine and she shuddered. She leaned back against the wall and put her hands over her face to rest her eyes. She looked up at the ceiling, exhaled and muttered out loud "I miss you Oliver." She heard the floor creak and saw him standing there "How can you miss me when I'm right here?" he said. She turned around, smiled, and ran up to hug him. She wrapped her arms around him and felt perfect as they rocked side to side with each other. "So you got my message?" he said to her. "Yeah, I really flew over here to see who it was" she smiled. She knew he had no idea but smiled anyway.
"Ready to meet my parents?" he said biting his lip. She nodded and smiled "How can I say no?" she said. He grabbed her hand and they walked down the steps. He lead her down the stairs and she saw his parents sitting at a table. They stood up and she saw that Oliver looked a good deal like his father. She shook their hands and took a seat with them. Belle was used to acting but it was different on stage, so she was mostly quiet an answered with short answers. "So Isabel, Oliver has told me that you are in a play opening tonight." his mother said. Belle smiled "Yes,I play a young love struck cortazanne" she said.
"Oliver said that we can come an see it tommorrow night when there are seats available. We can't wait to see you up on stage, I'm sure you'll be perfect." she said to her. "Tonight is opening night, but its a sold out. I'll have three seats booked for tommorrow night up front." she said. She felt Oliver's hand squeeze hers a little tighter and kept smiling. "I'm sure Oliver wont mind seeing it twice" his mother said. "So Do I" she said giving him a side glance. She then saw Blaise walk down the steps and give her the time-to-go look. "I'm so sorry, but I must get going so I dont miss the show. I still have to run upstairs and grab something from my room, I'll be right back" she said and stood up.
Oliver stood up with her and they both walked up the steps and into her room. "What did you need?" he asked her. "I needed to tell you something, I'm being blackmailed." she said to him. "What? How? By whom?" he asked. "One question at a time please" she said to him. "Ok who is blackmailing you?" he asked. "A certain blonde Slytherin" she said to him. Oliver looked angry "I'll murder him" he said huffing. Belle walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder "Oliver, he's threatning to tell everybody about us and have you kicked off of the quiddich team. He saw us last night in my dressing room." she said. He hugged her "What is he making you do?" he asked.
Belle laid her head on his shoulder "He wants me to kiss him tonight in front of you. I dont want to be quiddich means everything to you and I dont want it to be gone just because of me." she said to him. He took a step back and looked at her "Quiddich is not everything to me, you are" he said. Belle smiled and felt as if she was about to tear up "Come on, stop. You dont want me to be bawling in front of your parents" she said wiping her hand under her eyes. He laughed and grabbed her hand. "Belle, I dont know what to do. My fathers dream is for me to play pro quiddich and its my dream too. If I get thrown off of the team then its gone." he said to her.
Belle nodded "I know Oliver, thats why I was thinking about quitting instead" she said. He gave her an odd look "No, you cant." he said. "Your too good to quit, and plus your the captain." he pleaded with her. "Oliver I'm not captain yet, and let Roger choose somebody else. I knew that I wouldnt be a good captain anyway, I lack the responsability" she said. "Belle, Your going to be captain within four months and I'm not going to be responsable for you giving that up" he replied. "Perhaps we can talk about this later? I really need to get going." she said. He turned to open the door when she stopped him "Your going to need to act mentally hurt tonight. If not he'll know something is up" she said letting go of his arm.
"Belle I wont be acting anything, its going to hurt plenty" he said and walked out of her room slamming the door. Belle held her breath hoping this wasnt real. When she inhaled a tear fell down her cheek and she wiped it away before it crashed to the floor. She grabbed her bag and walked out of her room slamming the door behind her. She locked it and walked down the stairs and over towards the table. She said goodbye to his parents then to him. His parents smiled and said goodbye to her while he wouldnt look at her and just muttered the word "later."
Belle was brought back to reality by a peck on her arm. She looked over to see Rocket sitting there with a letter in his beek. "Did you forget how to hoot?" she asked him.
