For the people who did read this its just a whole bunch of mindless jabber (hihihi funny word) *sees angry ppl thru comp screen who just want to read fic* ok ill shut up now! Enjoy the Chappie!!

Wood didn't say anything else for the rest of the class. He paid close attention to Professor Viktor's lecture and I didn't see him glance my way once. As soon as the bell went he dashed off to who knows where. I sighed and gathered up my books and slowly made my way to Defence against the dark arts wondering who would be are teacher this year. For some reason for the past two years the professors teaching DATDA always seemed to only last a year. I hoped this year that not only would we have a professor who knew there stuff but someone who would last a bit longer.

"Oi Katie!"

I turned and saw Angelina running down the hall closely followed by Alicia, Ree, Fred, George and Lee (A/N Ppl thanks for correcting me on this I now know its Lee JORDON hihihi go me). I smiled at them and waved. When they finally caught up to me I was almost knocked off my feet by Alicia's sweeping hug.

"OMG are you okay? I was so worried!" Alicia said, her head buried in my shoulder. If you hadn't guessed Alicia is very emotional. She's the type that cried when Bambi's mother died.

"Bloody hell I'll kill that Slytherin", Angelina declared. Angelina is really too protective of us. I remember in 1st Marcus Flint made me cry when he called me a Mudblood she knocked him out for 3 days. No one ever figured out how she did it.

"Umm 'Licia I'm fine but I need to breathe", I squeaked. She was squeezing a bit to hard for comfort.

"Don't worry about revenge we already have a prank planned, but for now we better head off to DATDA. Wouldn't want to get in trouble on the first day," George said steering us off to the DATDA classroom on the 4th floor landing.

When we arrived we entered the class to find no one but the other Gryffindors sitting in the desks, chatting amongst themselves. We sat down in a empty group of desks closer to the back. If this professor was as bad as Lockhart then we wanted to be able to talk without getting in trouble. Then again if this professor was like Lockhart he probably wouldn't notice anything else but himself and his smile.

"Class please take your seats", said a voice coming from the doorway. Heads turned and standing in the doorway was a tall man. His robes were ragged and his sandy brown hair was limp yet his blue grey eyes shown with intelligence and fire. "You may put your books away today will be a practical lesson. Oh by the way my name is Professor Lupin. Now follow me".

Everyone grabbed their wands and followed Professor Lupin out the door not knowing what to make of this ragged man. Me, I thought he would probably be a improvement over Lockhart, because if he cared so much of his appearance he'd have nicer robes. He didn't wear a turban so he couldn't have Lord Voldemort on the back of his head. I brought my attention to where we were going. It seemed that Lupin was leading us outside to a site where a bunch of tree stumps were placed.

"Now class if I could have your attention", Lupin began. "Today we will learn the Reducto charm which will render a solid object to dust if it is performed right. Now your gamekeeper was nice enough to set out these stumps so that I don't get in trouble with Mr. Filch for breaking objects". He said this with a crinkle of amusement in his eyes. "Now the incantation for this spell is Reducto. As you say this your wand does a V-shape then a flick. Now everyone do it with me."

"Reducto", we all chanted.

"Very good", Lupin praised. "Now lets try it on a real object. Ahh, Miss Bell would you please oblige us. Just point your wand in the general area of one of the stumps and do as we practiced. I find it also help if I'm a bit angry when I do the spell so try to think of something that angers you".

I gulped and strode up to the front of the class. This Professor Lupin seemed to be pretty good at this Defense stuff and I didn't want to make a fool of myself in front of him. I pointed my wand, thought of Flint's constant insults and chanted "REDUCTO". For some reason as I chanted the spell I channeled more anger then I ever had in my life. It felt as if something was happening that would enrage me that I didn't know about was happening. To my surprise not only did one of the stumps explode but five. I was stunned. Sure I had never been bad at spells but this is by far the most powerful reaction I've ever had.

"Well Miss Bell it seems you have a lot of anger you need to let out", Lupin said in a cheerful tone. "But I would appreciate it if you left some stumps for the rest of the class. Oh, 20 points to Gryffindor for your achievement."

"Umm thanks", I squeaked out when I could finally speak calmly, without allowing my rage to speak for me. Ok Katie, you need to calm down just breathe 1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10. When I had finished counting I felt calm but I was still wondering where that wrath had came from.

We spent the rest of the class practicing on the stumps and besides me only Alicia and another girl who shares our dorm with us, Melanie. By the end of the class Lupin had rewarded us 50 points at least. We all left the classroom in a lighter mood. Even I had forgotten the weird feeling I had. As we were walking back to our dorn to grab our brooms Fred and George were teasing me about the "Stump incident" as they were calling it, while Lee was making the occasional comments.

"Ooo, people watch out", Fred exclaimed.

"It's our own superhero", George continued.

"Brave Bell, or maybe Beating Bell", Fred listed.

"I personally like Kicking Katie myself", Lee stated.

"Oh shut it you three, you're just jealous that Katie did it better then you did", said Alicia. Alicia having known me since the day I came to Hogwarts could tell that my temper was rising to the surface.

"No we like it this way so much more", Fred pointed out as we came to the Fat Lady's portrait. "This way, instead of us teaching you potions you'll have Katie teaching you DATDA".

We all chanted the password and went to put our books away and try and get some homework done in the 15 minutes we had before practice. Well at least Alicia, Angelina, and I were doing homework. I had no idea what the twins were doing, but then who ever did.

As I settled down in my favourite armchair in the far corner of the room, beside one of the vast clear stained glass window. As I was about and inch into my potions essay (When is the use of the draught of peace needed?) when I heard a tapping noise coming from the window. I looked up from my essay and saw Tamo, my brother's owl outside the window tapping furiously as its little wings beat as fast as they could. Realizing it must be very windy out I quickly reached out and opened the window and Tamo hurried in. He dropped a letter on my lap and sat affectionately on my shoulder waiting for a reply. I slowly opened the letter, careful not to rip the paper of any words from my one and favourite brother.

Dear Katie Kell

Do you remember that nickname? It used to annoy you so much and I always loved seeing

that red look on your face when you were about to kill me. I don't know if you remember but

I used to call you that name because you were obsessed with Kelly dolls, not Barbies. I hope

 you are keeping that temper in check at Hogwarts and not giving Dumbledore or your teachers

a hard time. Knowing your friends, that is probably very doubtful.

Anyways I love working with Puddlemore United. They're and amazing team and I'm happy to be

playing with them this year. It's hard though this being my first year out of Hogwarts. I miss the big

old castle! I better go.

All my love,

Nathaniel Bell

I was smiling at the memory of the nickname Katie Kell when I felt the letter from my brother ripped out from under my arm. I turned around ready to scream at Fred and George. But instead behind me was none other then Oliver Wood.

"Hmmm Katie Kell", Wood muttered loudly so I could hear him. "That has a certain ring to it. Oh and what's this about you and Kelly dolls. Personally I thought you were more of a Skipper type but hey Kelly fits to". Wood's face held that malicious grin that I hated soooo much. It was like a hihihihi I know something you know to and I'm going to bug you about it.

"Wood, give me back that paper or else I swear to god you'll regret ever, ever reading the words Katie Kell", I hissed furiously.

"Oi Oliver", George yelled. "Just last period she blasted 5 tree stumps with a single reducto charm". Oliver's smile faded just a bit but then his look of arrogance and confidence reappeared.

"She might be able to spell me but the question is can you catch me? What do you think *Katie Kell*?" he asked in a smug voice.

"ARRG IM GOING TO KILL YOU WOOD!"

Wood took of at a run and circled around the common room, weaving in and out of people and I was close on his tail. When he looked back and noticed this he jump through the portrait hole just as to people entered. About to chase after him I realized that with him Wood was carrying his broom. This could only mean that he was heading down to the quidditch pitch. Knowing I couldn't catch him without my broom I ran to grab it from my chest in my dormitory. As I was leaving I heard Fred's voice coming from the common room.

"Make sure he can still fly, we need him for keeper".

Shaking my head I ran after Wood.

* * *

 I arrived at the quidditch pitch, Wood was flying around on his broom holding the paper in his right hand which grasped the broom at the same time. When he saw me he came to a stop and yelled "If this paper means so much to you come and get it".

I jumped on my broom and chased after Wood, speeding off with the confronting thoughts of cursing him once I got that letter safely away from him. We had been flying for a couple minutes and I was right on his tail. Soon I was pulling up beside him. Wood seeing me gave me a smug smile and let my precious letter drop. Giving him a glare I was about to dive for it when I heard a amplified voice sound through the stadium.

"Miss Bell, if I may have a word", Dumbledore asked politely, his vice unnaturally loud.

I turned and saw Mcgonagall standing beside Dumbledore. Knowing it must be serious I quickly landed and dismounted my broom. I was about to leave with them when I remembered why I had come out to the pitch. I quickly raced across the hard ground to grab the letter, undamaged from its rough afternoon.

Turning I raced after Dumbledore and Mcgonagall. I didn't turn to look at Wood, therefore missing his concerned look.

* * *

When we had finally arrived at Dumbledore's office I asked Dumbledore as politely as I could, "Umm sir why am I here?"

"I think you should sit down for this Miss Bell". When I sat Dumbledore continued gently, "Last night there was an attack on the Ministry. Some old death eaters attack the ministry and left a dozen dead."

Why does this concern me, I thought. My family are all muggles they don't work in the Ministry. Wait, no it can't be true. "No… not Nathaniel no say it's not true."

"I'm sorry Miss Bell, your brother fought bravely and was killed just as the battle came to an end", Dumbledore said compassionately.

"You're lying", I yelled. "Please for bloody hell's sake say your lying".

"You have my deepest sympathies but it's true I'm afraid", Dumbledore said.

"Sympathy", I spat. "I don't want your sympathy, you're supposed to protect the innocent. I hate you."

With that I turned and ran out of the office. I tore down the halls not even remembering that I had my brothers letter till I heard Flint's malicious voice from behind me.

"Drop something Bell", he said venomously.

"Give it back now Flint", I said my rage and sadness taking over my voice.

"He got him didn't he", he stated. It was not a question. "It won't stop there, one day all you mudblood filth will be eliminated from our world." And with that he ripped up my letter and ran down the corridor.

Gathering up the small pieces of my letter I began to sob. This was all I had left of my brother. A couple ripped of pieces of paper, memories and tears.
