Friends Always
Kerry's POV
My hair was drenched, but I ran out of the bathroom, I was late to meet my boyfriend, who had to talk to me about something important. He was out on the quidditch field practicing-again. He was always practicing, but he said he had a good reason for it. He always wanted to play professional quidditch, and he had a good chance to get picked, he has been the seeker ever since his second year at Hogwarts, and the captain since his fifth year.
I arrived on the quidditch field, just in time to see everyone walk off the field to go to their classes. Oliver was standing in the middle of a group of girls. I had to meet Seamus Finnegan after I talked to Oliver. My mum actually yelled at me when she found out that I wasn't going with Seamus. See, we grew up together, our mums were the best of friends, and they were so happy to find out that we were excepted to Hogwarts, and that we were both placed into the Gryffindor house, like they had. But Seamus had never shown any interest in me, so I went with Oliver for eight months. I loved Oliver.
"Hey Kerry, come over here!"
"Oliver, what did you want to talk about?" I said as I walked over to the middle of the field, where he was standing.
"Well, you know how I always have wanted to play professional quidditch?"
"Yes"
"I got handpicked by the Eagles, to be their new keeper. Their keeper quit-he bloody quit!!! They want me-Oliver Wood to play for their team" He kept staring at Melissa Corey, who was motioning for him to come over to where she and her friends were. She was a very pretty 7th year Hufflepuff, who played Keeper for the Hufflepuff team.
"That's great Oliver! Wait aren't the Eagles the American team?" He looked down, and frowned
"Uh.yeah they are" Oh just wonderful, now he was going to live across the sea into the United States.
"Look Kerry, it has been cute and fun, but I have to get serious, and I cant do that while still dating a little 5th year girl from Hogwarts. Especially, when I am playing professional quidditch" What the hell! He started walking away from me.
"Oliver, what is that supposed to mean?" I started to cry, as other people were laughing at me.
"Oh yeah Donovan, I leave tomorrow, you can come look at me leave, for the last time, and I have been seeing Melissa Corey for the last eight months, we plan to get married, next month.sorry"
I couldn't even look at them. I ran to the Gryffindor dorms and ended up crying myself to sleep.
Seamus's POV
Every five minutes, I kept staring at the doors of the Great Hall, waiting for Kerry to come in. But there was only twenty minutes left of lunch, and she never came in. I saw Hermione Granger, who had become extremely close friends with Kerry in the last year; she was sitting about five seats down, by herself.
"Hey Hermione!"
"Hey Seamus, where is Kerry, wasn't she supposed to meet you down here, for lunch?"
"I know that, but she hasn't shown up, and I am getting worried about her. Could you go up to the girl's dorm and see if she is up there, or if she left a note or something? If she misses potions, Snape will flip out and she will be in a wee bit of trouble."
"Yes I will go check." She ran out of the Great Hall.
I walked into potions, and there she was sitting with Hermione, and she looked horrible. But as long as she was in class, I was not mad at her for blowing me off. I sat in my usual seat with Neville Longbottom. She probably fought with Wood again, the great brute! I kept watching Kerry. She and Hermione were talking a great deal throughout class, and then Kerry started to cry. Oh shit! I accidentally knocked into Neville causing him to spill way too much dragon's blood into the potion, causing it to explode along with his cauldron.
"LONGBOTTOM, this is it! I am taking ten points off Gryffindor and you will receive detention tonight."
"But Snape.err.Professor, it was my fault, I was staring at Kerry, and I accidentally-"
"ENOUGH.you and Donovan will join Longbottom, for wasting my class. Donovan-maybe your boyfriend should learn some self-control?" I turned red and Kerry shot me the most evil glare.
"Sorry Neville, you can have my cauldron, I have an extra one," I whispered
"It's all right Seamus, I get you into enough trouble anyways." I laughed
"That is true"
"What's wrong with Kerry?"
"I wish I knew, I will try talking to her at dinner."
I walked to dinner with Neville. Hermione came over to where we were sitting.
"Hi Neville, Seamus, why did you do that to her?"
"I was trying to get my friend, out of detention with Snape, that is the worst thing to have to do. That is what friends do, you know. I didn't mean to get her in trouble, and I am sorry if she is mad at me because of it."
"No she isn't mad at you, she is just really upset and that was the worst thing that could happen to her today."
"Well what is wrong with her? She never tells me anything anymore. You have become her best friend."
"Well think about this.she had to talk to Oliver, and right after she is more miserable than usual. Do you know yet?"
"Yes, a really huge fight?"
"You men are such morons, when it comes to women."
"Well she told you, why don't you tell me? I am her best friend still.I hope"
"No I don't think I should, maybe you should talk to her." Malfoy was talking to Kerry, and she smiled.she smiled.at Malfoy
"What the hell is she doing talking to Malfoy.of all people?"
"Draco is talking to Kerry? Why would she be talking to that jerk?" Neville said.
"Seamus, Neville.have you not noticed that she is the most wanted girl at Hogwarts?"
"I've noticed." Neville said, I glared at him, he turned red
"Neville, do you still want that cauldron? Then shut up!"
Kerry's POV
"So Kerry, I heard that about you and Oliver. So do you want to meet in the Astronomy Tower at midnight, I will make you forget Oliver."
"I don't know Draco.Seamus wont like it very much."
"What are you with Finnegan now? He is the only Gryffindor that I can stand." Seamus was standing behind Draco. I wanted to get back at Seamus for getting me detention. Besides, his temper can be quite sexy.
"What about me Draco?"
"You? I just want to have my way with and then throw you aside for that hot Hufflepuff Melissa Corey. Certain people like to use her to cheat on their girlfriends, maybe I should cheat on Pansy with her?" He saw Oliver and I out on the field. I started to cry again.
"Back off Malfoy! I don't want to hear anymore shit coming out of you, or I will fuck you up!!"
"I will be the only one fucking anything up, right Donovan? Don't forget about tonight, Astronomy Tower.12 am.see you later." He walked away
"Lets go now, Kerry. We have to talk!" He pulled me out of the Great Hall, by the elbow
"What the hell is your problem, Seamus?"
"I don't know? You don't talk to me anymore, about anything, and then you are going to meet Malfoy in the astronomy tower tonight.what the hell happened with you and Oliver? Talk to me Kerry, you cant escape me, we live near each other and I will see you over the holiday." I couldn't help it, I started sobbing, and I punched his shoulder. He hugged me and kissed my forehead.
"Kerry, what happened, are you pregnant or something.what is it?" I had the sudden urge to laugh out loud. He thought I was having Oliver's baby.
"No, He broke up with me, today in front of everyone on the quidditch field after practice."
"What?? He did! Why would anyone want to break up with you?"
"Well to put it in his terms.he said that our relationship was 'cute and fun and if he wanted to be serious he couldn't be still dating a little 5th girl from Hogwarts, especially when he was going to play professional quidditch' oh yeah and that he has been cheating on me with Melissa Corey for the last 4 months and that they were getting married in a month."
"What the hell is his problem, I never liked Oliver."
"Yes, well, our mums will be happy now that we have a chance to get together." We smiled
"Oh this will be a fun summer, and we leave in a week."
"Yes I know" I looked down at the floor.
"Promise me, that we will always be best friends and that we will talk about everything?"
"About everything? I don't know about that, some things I don't think will be good to talk about." He turned red
"Yes, I know that."
The Hogwarts Express arrived at King's Cross Station in London. Seamus and I got off the train and our mums were too busy talking with each other to even notice that we were standing right in front of them. We just stared at them. Seamus was the first to say something to them.
"Hey mum, guess what, I got Kerry pregnant, she is due in 5 months!"
"What!" They both said at the same time.
"Just joking" We laughed at their expressions.
"How is that Oliver Wood bloke? Are you still going with him, Kerry?" I looked at Seamus, and he said something
"No Mrs. Donovan, she isn't and doesn't want to talk about it." Both of our mums looked at each other, and they smiled.
