CHAPTER 2: What is going on here?

I woke up the next morning feeling happy and refreshed. I looked over and saw Katie and Alicia still asleep. I got up and went to the bathroom to have a shower. By the time I got out the girls had also woken up.

"Morning sleepy heads" I called over. I got some groans as Katie and Alicia aren't exactly morning people. "I'm going to have some breakfast" I called leaving the dorm. I was in such a happy mood that I almost skipped down the stairs.

I was just leaving through the portrait hole when I heard a voice behind me.

"Angelina," the person called in a very distinct Scottish accent. It could be no one else then my Quidditch captain, Oliver Wood.

"Wood. Hi," I said turning. He had a strange look on his face. "What's up?"

"Oh nothing much he replied. "What about you? Are you OK?". He sounded very odd.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I asked, a little confused.

"Oh, I thought that you would be upset," he said, brightening up a little.

"Oh c'mon Wood, it's only the first day back," I said with a laugh.

"That's not what I mean Angie" he said again looking very sincere. I was getting very confused. What was he on about?

"Wood, what are you babbling about?"

"Cedric." He said earnestly.

Ok, not the answer I was expecting. I was about to ask him what he meant when Cedric himself came around the corner because by this time we were already close to the Great Hall. Honestly, does that boy have timing or what?

He came up, wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me. Wood had a very strange expression on his face.

"How's it going Wood?" Cedric asked after smiling at me.

 "Splendid!" Wood muttered sarcastically and turned around to walk off in the other direction. "See you later Johnson". Now I was really confused.

"What's wrong with him?" Cedric asked pulling me close to him.

"I don't know" I replied honestly. We walked the rest of the way to the Great Hall and then went our separate ways.

The rest of the day was quite uneventful. I saw Wood again and his mood hadn't brightened. He was extremely rude to Cedric when he came to see me at lunch. Wood told me that we had a Quidditch practise after class. Talk about obsessed! Oh well, I am quite fond of Quidditch myself and I couldn't wait to get back on my broom. But Wood's behaviour was really starting to bug me.

However, when practise time came he wasn't that much better. We practised for almost two hours and Wood didn't even let us have a break. And he seemed extremely picky towards me and kept telling me to watch my passes or to fly straight or whatever. When practise was finally over I was pretty stressed out. The rest of the team didn't seem in much better states of mind.

"OK, that will do for today," Wood announced. "Go and get changed. There will be another practise on Thursday." His comments that morning still on my mind and had been bugging me all day.

"Wood?" I called to him. "Do you have a minute?"

"What is it Johnson?" he said turning to face me. His voice sounded a lot harsher than his expression let on.

"I was wondering about what you said this morning. About Cedric?"

"Oh that," he blushed slightly. "Forget that I mentioned it. It's none of my business."

"But what were you going to say?" I asked looking into his eyes. He turned away.

"It doesn't matter. Go get changed." I sighed. Man that boy could be a pain. I decided to drop it for now but I would ask him again tomorrow if I saw him. I turned and headed away from the pitch.

"Angelina," he called after me. "Be careful!"

Again sorry for the lack of interesting context. I'm still trying to set things up for later occurrences. Hope you guys aren't bored. Please review. Thanks a lot! L.A.*
