*No such thing as a match made in heaven*
Well here it is folks, a Christmas update just for the reviewers! (I always wanted to say that!) True, the update shall not be long...but it is efficient...heh heh.
Disclaimer: (sorry, I always forget to add this, it's part of my memory condition) I don't own any of the characters associated with Harry Potter. It's one of my many flaws.
Revenge is sweet. Especially when it comes to pelting snowballs at an unsuspecting villain. George has taught me well by cracky. Meanwhile, amongst the wars, the snow keeps on falling and for the past weeks, white has been a true primary color.
"Katie....Katie!! Would you mind interrupting your hazy dream and answer question 208 for the class?!" McGonagall snapped, eyes flaring red with anger. Jeez, who hit her with the snowball this time? It seemed that since Christmas break was only a day away, all of the students found themselves day dreaming at one point or another. Me, on the other hand, daydreaming had become an obsession. Let's face it, I'm a loner. Alicia's got George, and Angelina's got Fred, and I have daydreaming. Doesn't sound that air to me.
I mustered up all the courage I had, and briefly looked at question 208, surprisingly enough, I knew it.
"What is Giant's breath?" I answered Jeopardy style. McGonagall nodded, lips pursed tight with fluster at the fact I had gotten the question right.
"Take that Demonwoman, and shove it up your..."I whispered to Oliver not finishing the sentence for fear of being heard. Oliver, who was sitting on my left, upon hearing my comment he appeared to look like he was going to be sick. Ok, so it wasn't the best of comments but I didn't think it was that bad. Soon enough though, just as I was turning away, I heard Oliver cackle. We're not talking giggle volume, we're talking Santa Claus ho-ho-ho volume. I glared at him and apparently McGonagall decided to intrude on the glaring action.
"Something funny, Mr. Wood?" McGonagall said approaching him with hatred....or was that lust I saw in her eyes? Eeeeew! Gods, at least someone was having a worse love life than I. This thought sent me over the edge and I couldn't refrain from a snort. Luckily the bell rang just as McGonagall turned on me. I yipped and flew out of my seat, being the first to reach the door. As I exited out the door, I turned to see Oliver caught in McGonagall's full blown rampage. Hmm....who knows what she'll do to him..Eeeew.
"Hey Katie!" George bounced into my vision, smile broad on his face.
"Hello Katherine." Fred said gloomily, still rejecting me for joining George's side.
"C'mon Fred!" I said grabbing his neck and ruffling his hair. This got a small smile out of him, and the smile grew as George handed me a piece of parchment.
"What's this?" I said gaze glancing over the messages.
"A party, Katie dear." George said, the glimmer of mischief shining in his eyes.
"Gods, a party. Who's gonna get it this time?" I said, grinning evilly at the thought of violence. See what happens when you hang out with the twins to often.
"Aw, Katie. It's just a Christmas party!" Fred said after losing his thought of violence also. Look out Fred, I know why you have that smile on your face...you were thinking of gore!
"Am I invited?" my mom always taught me to be humble, so here goes.
"Katie. Get real here, you're the first one to be invited."George said glancing around for any spies.
"Wow, really!" I said, blowing their cover at a quiet announcement of the party.
"Wow really what?" Oliver said walking up to us, followed by many of jealous girls gazes. Merlin, I'm not the only one without a boyfriend!
"A party. Gryffindor common room. 9 o'clock. Be there." Fred said quietly, eyes glancing around madly.
"What are we part of a mob now?" I asked smiling broadly, enjoying my one chance at torturing the twins. They both rolled their eyes in sync and shoved flyers in both of our hands.
"Hand them out." Fred said walking away, grinning evilly.
"KATIE BELL HAS FLYERS FOR A PARTY!!!!" George's voice echoed across the stone walls. Dear god... I looked at Oliver madly, as the people began swarming towards me, some were polite and asked for a flyer while others bit, and scratched in order to be first in line. I'm attending school with a bunch of animals! George and Fred are Dead!
I glanced at Oliver from across the common room, and couldn't help but smile. Those people had been vicious, all of his cuts and bruises just to be invited to the coolest party of the year. Ok, so maybe I would have been just as rowdy if situations were different. Oliver jerked his head after laughing at a joke, and caught me looking at him. Damn! I turned away quickly and began to chatter incoherently with Alicia.
"And that is why the Pythagorean theorem should not be used in space travel!" I said loudly to Alicia, as I felt my cheeks going red.
"And that is why we don't allow you to have punch on weekdays." Alicia commented looking at me, probably checking to see insanity is actually visible. "Who do you keep on smiling at anyways...oooh, is someone flirting?"
"Alicia, I just happened to be gawking, there is a wide difference between the two, ok?!" I said leaning over to pick up some piece of food off of the platter it was being served on. Praise the heavens for House Elves.
"Gawking, more like stalking." Alicia said staring at Angelina, who was currently indisposed at the moment.
"What happened to her?" I shouted, as the music became particularly loud at one point in the song playing. Aw, I hate this song!
"Who knows...probably the lemonade, she's probably having some kind of reaction." Alicia said calmly, as those words alerted me.
"Reaction?!" I said loudly, as the song's volume went down again.
"Merlin Katie, have a little humor." Alicia drawled on. I don't think I like this sarcastic Alicia, I like the truth and nothing but the truth. Dammit! Will someone turn the demonic music off!
"Hey Katie." The deep voice said from behind me. Before I knew it a pair of arms were wrapped around my waste. Ok, I did not just grow those arms...I didn't. Really!
"Hi Oliver!" I said cheerily as Alicia stared at me, and began backing away.
"Having fun?" he said slowly, turning me around but keeping his grip on me. Whoa, I'm getting a shivery feeling...maybe there is something in the punch.
"Yeah." I said softly, facing him. His eyes certainly do look like chocolate chips tonight...ok, that's it. I'm going on a diet. "Are you?"
"Yeah. But you know, I'm going home for the holidays, and I'm going to miss certain people." Oliver said smiling, resting his chin on top of my head. Ok, is this allowed...are students allowed to hug? Where's Percy when you need him to inform you of the truth? But, this was a rather comfortable position I wouldn't mind staying here...in front of the fire...a few feet from the mistletoe...with presents...Oh my god! A few freaking feet from the mistletoe...I knew that I shouldn't have told Fred and George about that tradition. I could hear death's raspy voice, as I winced as I looked up. Yep, there it is. Smack dab center, right above my head.
"Look Katie! Look where we're standing!" Oliver said looking up. Damn him! He planned this...I know he did! "You know the tradition don't you?" Oliver said innocently.
"Why I ought to wring you're neck you planned this all along! When I tell..." I began just before his lips came down to meet mine. I was suddenly lost in a burning haze where all there was, was happiness and joy. Why, why couldn't life always be this way? Slowly, but firmly, Oliver moved his lips away from mine. I know he could have gone farther, dammit! He's just mocking me, testing me to my limits. If I had the courage, I would grab his neck in front of everyone and make him continue the kiss. But that wouldn't be ladylike...would it?
"Merry Christmas, Bell. See you next year." Oliver slowly walked away, leaving me weak in the knees and now knowing why every girl wanted a part of Oliver Wood.
Ok...haha....hahhahaha...*going insane* I've never tried to write a kiss before...gods....I think I did it wrong...totally unromantic...anyways...give me your thoughts, your suggestions...and I promise an update very soon. Thanx for readin! :)
