A/N: Sorry I took so long for updating.

Chapter 8

Marcus was standing right in the dead center of the room.

"Flint! What are you doing here?!" I asked in surprise. I didn't really know he was going to come up and risk the points of his house. Then again Gryffindor has been winning the house cup since Harry came so it doesn't really matter right now.

"To see you, Bell," Flint replied. He took a step forward like he did at that cliff. As usual I took a step back. He looked at me and I saw a smirk on his face.

"What?"

"It's funny seeing how you Gryffindorks always fumble like that," he said smoothly.

"I DO NOT FUMBLE!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I don't know if I made the whole Common Room here me from there.

Flint just kept smirking his heart away. No wonder I wanted to go with him to the ball. My brothers wouldn't allow me to go with him anyway and that's the fun of it.

Angelina heard a scream from the dorm. "Do you think Katie is alright?" she asked Alicia.

"I think so, Angel. She has been a bit mean lately," Alicia replied.

"Lately? Don't you mean since her and Fred broke up?"

"Yeah."

"I'll go up to see if she's okay." Alicia got up from her seat and went up to the dorm.

I heard footsteps coming through the door. "Flint, we have to hide you," I said as quickly as I can.

Flint quirked an eyebrow. "Oh so I could stay in here?"

I looked at him, shocked. "When in the hell did I say that?"

"Just now…"

"NO!"

"Yes."

"NO! NO! NO! I DID NOT!" I retorted while I pushed him under my bed so Angelina or Alicia wouldn't notice.

Angel came in and looked around. "What's going on in here?"

"Nothing," I replied, innocently. Flint owes me one for this.

"Okay…" Angelina said, suspiciously and left.

"Phew! That was close," I let out in a sigh. I looked under the bed and saw that Flint wasn't there. Suddenly I felt arms around me and a hard body that I'm leaning on. I took another sigh and gave in. "Marcus…" I sighed.

"Mmm?" he was looking at me in a weird yet loving way.

"Want to go out and sneak into Hogsmeade after the ball?" I asked.
