Title: Darkness on the Cliff
Pairings: Marcus/Katie, slight Fred/Katie
Author: Sherrie
Notes: This is a little treat to Sara since I volunteered to write one. hee hee. And this is my first pairing fic that doesn't have any original characters. So basically this is my first attempt. And hopefully this will inspire me to write something else.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. They are the property of JKR. And if I was her I would be writing something else other than this.
Darkness. All I could see was that. I don't know why it's like this. Ever since I broke up with my ex-boyfriend, Fred Weasley, everything just went wrong. Why did I ever think of doing that? He was like the best boyfriend in the world and I just ended it. I guess it's because I was bored. I know that Fred is hilarious like his brother but it wasn't enough. I needed adventure, excitement, suspense, anything that would keep me from boredom. Someone like…
"Hey Katie!" a familiar feminine voice yelled out. "Are you coming or not?"
I turned around. "Yeah, Angelina, I'll be there in a minute." I was supposed to go to Quidditch practice with her and I know that Oliver would be upset. But what's the point? It's just a game.
"Come on!" I could hear Angelina calling out again.
"Okay, okay. I'm coming," I replied. Though I still don't know what the point will be since I'll be seeing him again.
We entered the Girls Locker Room and got dressed into our Quidditch Robes.
"So how are things going between you and Fred lately, Katie?" Alicia Spinnet asked.
Obviously, she hasn't heard that I didn't break up with him yet. I have to play this cool. "It's going great." I lied. I can't believe I just lied to one of my best friends in this whole entire school. But I don't want her to be asking so many questions that it's going to get the whole school up tight.
"That's great," Angelina said. Everyone knows that she's dating Fred's twin brother, George. So she is bound to find out one way or another.
We went to the Pitch and Oliver was doing his usual, boring, old prep talk. Of course, none of us were paying attention to him. I know it's rude of me to do that, but it's the same freaking talk. I looked to my side and Fred was right next to me. I can't really believe it. Actually, I could but I didn't want to. He was staring at me sadly. It made me sad too but I'm sure that I didn't want to be with him anymore.
When Oliver was finished with his prep talk, the whole team mounted their brooms and went up into the air. I flew to the side where I'm supposed to be and waited for Oliver to throw the Quaffle back to me. Oliver Wood is a nice guy but he isn't my type.
I gazed into the light and saw that there was someone on the cliff that was near the Pitch. I couldn't tell who he was but he looked simply beautiful.
"Bell!" Oliver started yelling, as he threw the Quaffle to me.
I zoomed down the Pitch with the Quaffle under my arm, yet I couldn't stop thinking of that guy I saw on the cliff. Then I saw Angelina yelling to me that she was open. I took the Quaffle and threw it to her as hard as I can. Angelina caught it and continued flying.
I, on the other hand, looked back at the cliff. And he was gone. Completely gone. I didn't even get a chance to have a good look to see who he was. All I could remember is that he was tall and was wearing a wonderful shade of green. I needed to know who he was.
I looked up again and Oliver told us that practice was over since he had to go to Potions. The whole team, including myself, were relieved that he said it was over for today. We were extremely exhausted. I flew down and walked up to that cliff where I saw him.
"Katie, where are you going?" Fred asked, as he caught up with me.
"I'm just going to the cliff to think alone."
"Oh okay. See you later in the Common Room," he replied. He turned around and walked away.
I'm so sorry, Fred. But I have to look and see who the person was. I don't know if I'll be coming back to the Common Room.
I looked back at the cliff and continued to climb.
A/N: I know this is short. But give me a break. I'll try to finish the next chapter soon.
