I woke up. Someone was lightly shaking me.

"C'mon, Katie," a voice said soothingly and encouragingly. I sat up slowly, my eyes still closed. I muttered about how I shouldn't be woken up and pushed the person away.

They growled. "Fine! Be late to Potions! Won't bother me!"

I groaned and sat up, looking around. I leaned back onto my pillows. Alicia was on her bed, in her robes, ready for class, eating a glazed donut. A plate of them was on her lap. Angie stood next to my bed, her hands on her hips, angry. She had a half eaten donut in her hand.

I frowned, somehow awake. "Where'd those come from??" I asked about the donuts.

"We have our secret hoards," Angie said, grinning.

"And we smuggle them up from breakfast," Alicia added, her mouth full with donut. Angie blushed slightly.

"Why?" I asked, sounding drowsy.

"Because donuts make everything better," Angie insisted. Alicia handed Angie one and she in turn handed it off to me. Mmmm, donut. I shrugged and ate it, ignoring the diet I was supposed to be on to be in shape for Quidditch.

Angie looked around.

"Where's your Potions book?"

"Common room."

"Why's it there?" she asked. I thought about last night, I blushed. 'Dammit! Must think of the perfect excuse...ummm...faster faster...um.... GOT IT!'

"Fred borrowed it," I blurted out. They both nodded. They actually bought that?? They must've been more tired than I was, or something. Strange.

I stood up off my bed and made my way to my dresser, taking out some clothes and my robes. It was clear to me that they weren't leaving so I could change, so I knew I had to go to the bathroom. At least this time I wasn't taking a shower.

"I'm going to go change, I'll meet you guys in Potions, all right?"

They nodded.

I left the room, my clothes, shoes, hairbrush, and toothbrush in hand. When I closed the door behind me, I hear them start to talk in hushed whispers. Then I hear giggles. 'Typical'

I walked to the bathroom. I told myself that I would think about what happened last night this morning, but I didn't feel like contradicting myself this early.

I changed and left the bathroom. I went back to my room to put my pajamas away. Angie and Alicia were both gone. 'Potions, most likely'

Back to the Common Room I went. You would think that when I stepped into that room, I would have remembered what happened last night. I did, but it was very vague. I believe that fact that the room was no longer dark and fire-lit made it harder to imagine.

The quilt was delicately folded and was draped across the back of the couch like it had been yesterday. A few Gryffindors were lounging by the fire or in the chairs. I stood there for a moment, trying to figure out what I was going to do.

A bell tolled, sounding the commencing of Breakfast. I had eaten one of the girls' donuts earlier, so I wasn't hungry; I never had to eat much. Most of the students left the room automatically, leaving me there alone.

I heard footsteps. Someone came down from the Boys' Dormitories. I hoped it wasn't Oliver Wood. That would have been weird.

It wasn't. It was Fred. I smiled, delighted.

"Going to Breakfast?" he asked me. For once, George was not around.

"Umm... no, I think I'll just hang out here until class."

"Skipping Breakfast?" he asked, concerned. I froze.

"No, um.... just not hungry," I said quickly, not wanting to squeal on Alicia and Angie's donut hoard. Fred nodded and smiled.

"See you in class," he called over his shoulder, heading to breakfast. I nodded. I looked around; I was completely alone. Good. Maybe now I could possible ponder what happened last night. Time to pace!!

I went to the middle of the room, in front of the fireplace. There was no fire this morning; the windows were open, propelling scarlet and golden curtains into the room in a billowy fashion. There was a strong wind today. Lots of wind plus Quidditch practice up in the air equals not good. I wasn't very good with the wind factor. I was working on it. Back to pacing!!

Begin....................NOW.

Thought: Yes, but there are a lot of unanswered questions...

Comment: Whatever, I'm done for now, I'm getting tired of pacing.

FINISH PACING.

Ouch. My head hurt. I sat down on the couch to let my mind stop thinking. I really shouldn't think about things like that for a long time now. Another bell sounded. I had only a few minutes to get down to the dungeons for Potions.

I grabbed my book off the table and left the Common Room.

I made it to Potions just as the bell rang. It was easier to get to the dungeons from breakfast than from Gryffindor Tower.

I sat down at a table with Alicia and Angie. I saw Fred and George sitting together. I didn't look for Oliver, thank goodness, but I saw Cho walk over to him and put her arm around him, making me aware of where he was. I was very happy that Cedric wasn't in Potions right now to see that.

As Snape droned on about some potion, I watched Cho and Oliver. I wasn't jealous, I don't think.

Oliver slid her arm off of him and looked back to Snape, trying to pay attention. Cho looked hurt and just sat there. After a few moments, she tried again, and leaned in, whispering something in his ear. They both laughed and he then shook his head, smiling.

This continued for the entire class. About halfway through, I got tired of it and actually focused on Potions.

The bell rang and everyone got up, myself included. I didn't make eye contact with Oliver as he passed me. In the hallway, Cho ran over to me as I was walking away.

"KATIE" she shouted excitedly.

"Cho!" I was in faux excitement.

"You'll never guess!"

"What!?" I said with a fake gasp.

"I think Wood likes me!" she said giggling. I smiled and didn't say anything. I didn't even think anything. As she rambled on about him, I saw him leaving the classroom.

He looked towards us, I tried not to look but sold glances smoothly. Cho wasn't so smooth.

"Bye, Cho," he said, I swear Cho almost fainted.

She grinned. He paused.

"Bye, Katie," he said flatly with a wink. Cho either didn't notice or thought it was for her. I almost began to think the latter.

I left Cho and her excitement behind, bound for Trelawney's class. Maybe something with the moon made Oliver do that last night. 'Doubt it'.

Going up the stairs was when Oliver caught up with me.

Thanks for the GREAT reviews!! R& R like always.
