AN: Hey guys, just a note to say thanks to you who reviewed. I really appreciate it. I was starting to wonder if anyone was reading the story at all and if I should even bother with it. Well thanks to you guys who let me know. Keep on reviewing – and everyone else, let me know what you think. How it's coming along, Suggestions, complaints anything. Thanks heaps – love L.A.*  

CHAPTER 4: If it's not one thing, it's another

Needless to say Cedric got a good talking to. And not by me, but by my Howler. You should have seen his face. He went bright red in front of the whole school because I coincidently sent it to him during dinner. Whilst it was ripping into him I saw him look up at me pleadingly. I just shook my head and turned away. My eyes met Wood's and he smiled and nodded appreciatively.

I also spotted that Gennifer girl. Apparently they are not together anymore as she was so embarrassed by the whole Howler thing that she dumped him the next day. Oh, poor poor Cedric.

Life went on famously afterwards. Katie and Alicia were really proud of me and I got hand shakes from random Gryffindors in the corridors. Besides the piles of homework I was getting I had hardly any problems. The Quidditch season was well underway and practises were getting very intense. Our first match was drawing closer. We were going to play Slytherin. It was going to be tough but not impossible.

What's more I was seeing a lot more of Wood. After my spill of emotions on the field that day I seemed to run into him everywhere. To tell you the truth I didn't really mind. He was really nice company. Besides his abnormally obsessed Quidditch side he could also be really compassionate and great to talk to.

It was now October and school work was piling up. I had quite a bit of Transfiguration and Divination homework to do plus an essay for Potions which the infamous Snape had set last minute. The Gryffindor common room was teaming with people for some reason so I decided to take my work to the library.

The library was pretty full as well but at least it was quiet. I found a table and spread out my parchment. I was about half way through the Potions essay when I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, Angie. Working hard I see." He whispered.

"Hi Wood. Yes actually I am" I whispered back.

"Don't suppose you need any help then?" he asked, blushing slightly. I looked up.

"No, I'm quite capable on my own thanks" I said lowering my eyebrows.

"Well if you change your mind," he put his face close to mine, "you know where to find me." He squeezed my hand quickly and left. I could see his face reddening as he went through the door. I sat back, sighing. What was that? I felt strange. As though his touch had spread a kind of warmness through my body. I closed my eyes and thought for a moment. I had a feeling in my heart that is hard to explain. It felt familiar. Yes, I remember. I felt like this when I first started to get to know Cedric. Back then when I still thought he was a bit of a hunk. I had felt like this when he first talked to me. So happy and special because it was him. The guy that I…

My thoughts trailed off as I came to realisation. Could it be? No, it can't. Was I falling for Wood?

~:~

Dunt dunt dunt…Angie has finally seen the light. Again sorry about the lack of Wood. And it was a little short. I'll try and fix that in the next chapter. Until then, please review!!! Thanks as always, L.A.*
