Chapter Two-
Call Me Marcus
"Summer is finally over!" I yelled as I dance around the room and put on my combat boots.
"Katie!" my mum called up the stairs, sounding extremely impatient, "We need to leave, NOW! As in, TODAY!"
"Coming mum, coming!" I yelled back down the stairs; while I checked around my room one last time to make sure I didn't leave anything behind. Once I was sure I had everything, I grabbed my trunk and my owl's cage and started down the stairs, praying desperately that I wouldn't fall as I flew down the stars a t top speed.
"While I'm still young Katie!" My mum said as I bolted out of the front door towards the car. She grabbed my trunk, and stashed it in the boot, and then pushed me into the front passenger seat of the car, and then, like a flash was in her side of the car, and we were zooming down the road towards King Cross.
When we finally got there, it was 10:50, and I hurriedly grabbed up my trunk and the cage of my still unnamed owl.
"By mum!" I said, as she hugged me tearily, "I'll see you next summer!"
"You have a good year honey," she said, smiling as she pushed me towards the wall between Platforms nine and ten, "And remember, I eventually want grandchildren, so don't be to shy around the guys."
"Mum!" I said, turning so that she wouldn't see my blush. Then as I started pushing through onto the wall, I waved and said, "Love you mum!"
I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, only moments later, I was in a completely different world. I was so happy to see the maroon Hogwarts Express, that I didn't even notice two girls, who were both my age, running towards me, until it was to late.
"Katie!!!" They both yelled as they jumped on me and started hugging me.
"Nice to see you to," I said, gasping for air, after having it all blown out of me, "I love you both to death and all, but would you PLEASE get off of me. I really would like to get to school in one piece this year!"
"Well, I suppose we could get off of you," Angelina said grinning, then Alicia finished the sentence, "But, we could always just suffocate you instead."
"Well, if you won't get off me, then I'll just force you off," I said as I rolled over, causing both of them to fall off. I stood up hurriedly and grabbed my stuff, before being pulled onto the train and into a compartment by Alicia and Angelina, after putting my trunk up on a rack.
After sitting down, I got a good look at my two best girl friends. Angelina was still her tall, dark self. With long, ebony braids and blue eyes. Then there was Alicia. Alicia had a pretty, pale complexion, with a few freckles on her nose, brown eyes and blonde/brown hair pulled up into a messy bun.
"So, how was your summers" I asked them after we had settled down.
"Well, I went to France this summer, but it wasn't that great. The food was all pretty gross. I mean, the first lunch I had there, the waitress gave me snails instead of spaghetti! I didn't eat at any more fancy restaurants after that. I just went to McDonalds for the rest of the trip," Alicia said, then, turning towards Angelina, "How 'bout you?"
"Mine was pretty boring," Angelina said, yawning for extra effect, "I just read magazines, sat outside, and hung out with my muggle friends all summer. What about you Katie, do anything interesting?"
"I could have had more fun as a rock," I said looking out the window, watching the cows fly by outside in the country side, "I didn't see or talk to anyone but the people at my house, and I only left to go to Diagon Alley. I talked to Oliver on my way to..."
"You talked to Oliver?!?" Alicia said, her eyes practically popping out of her head.
"Yeah?" I ask rather uncertainly, "What' the big deal?"
"He is like SOOOO hott now!!" Angelina squealed, "He is like, the hottest guy at Hogwarts!"
"He's okay, I guess," I said grinning, "Why don't you both go find him and tell him what you think about him?"
"Nah," Angelina said quickly, "He's hott and all, but I have another guy that I have my eye on."
"What?!?" Alicia and I both yelled at the same time.
"Why haven't you told us?!?" I asked, feigning hurt, "I feel wounded. My best friend won't tell me what guy she fancies!"
"Are we interrupting a fancying party?" Fred said with George following him right behind.
"We could always come back later," George said looking at us and grinning. Then Fred put in, "Or not at all."
"Oh no no no no no no," Angelina and Alicia said quickly, "You can stay."
"Good, good. I don't think we could have taken the rejection!" George said dramatically ad toppled over onto the seat, "You're the first compartment we haven't been pushed out of."
"Well, We might not have been pushed out of we hadn't of turned every one green, and if they weren't all Slytherins," Fred put in after George's acting skit.
I looked over at Angelina and Alicia and saw them looking at Fred and George, in that order, and you could see in their eyes that they fancied the twins. I chuckled to myself and decided that I would leave the love birds alone.
"Well," I said rather loudly, so that I could wake all my best friends from their stupors, "I'm gonna go I'll talk to you people later."
Alicia waved, but Angelina was staring out the window, her eyes glazed over, then Fred and George were both laughing loudly at a joke Fred had just told. I sighed and walked out of the compartment, closing the door behind. I decided that I would go look for the food cart lady, since I didn't get a chance to have breakfast this morning.
I was about to turn around and start walking towards the other end of the train, when I heard someone call my name from a few compartments ahead. I walked towards it an opened the compartment, in it was none other than Marcus Flint. Even though he never was nicest Slytherin I've ever met, I still tried to behave civilly towards him.
"Did you just call me?" I asked, even though I was seriously doubting that I had any sanity left in my head.
"Actually," he said smiling, "I did."
"Ok," I said, smiling back, "What do you need Flint?"
"Call me Marcus," he said. And then pointed towards the seat across from him, "Please, sit down. I wanted to ask you something."
I nodded, and sat down, looking at him expectantly, though my eyes showed that I was completely puzzled.
"Well," Flint, I mean Marcus said, fidgeting in his seat for a second, "Well, I know I haven't been that nice to the Gryffindor house as a whole, but I was just wondering....."
"Yes?" I said, having absolutely no idea where this was going. Unless... No, he wouldn't...
"Would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me next weekend?" he said confidently after his pause earlier.
I was completely surprised, but after I thought about it for a minute, he'd never really done anything mean to me in particular. Well, what the heck. Its not like Oliver would ever like me, I'm just gonna need to get over him.
"I'd love to Marcus," I said, smiling warmly, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go change into my Hogwarts robes, I'll see you later!"
"Bye Katie," Marcus said, looking genuinely happy.
Well, he may not be an Oliver Wood, but he really isn't all that bad, his teeth even look a bit better this year. You know, I bet girls would be after Flint, I mean, Marcus too if he had his teeth fixed. I know some useful teeth charms maybe I could help him out a bit... I have got to go tell Alicia and Angelina about this! Now, was the password into our compartment "Tree Freak" or "Bladegirt"?
"Tree Freak" I said, hoping that it was the right password.
"Excuse me!" The door shouted shrilly, "I am NOT a Tree Freak! That was last year's password. This year's has absolutely NOTHING to do with trees. It has something to do with a certain guy that you guys were talking about earlier."
"Uhhh," I said dumbly, trying to remember who we had been talking about earlier, "Oliver Wood?"
"What about him?" I heard a snotty voice say behind me, "Don't go any where near him, you hear me?"
"Why?" I said turning to look at the girl. She had long Strawberry Blonde hair, dark blue eyes, and was several inches shorter than me.
"Because," she said sneering, at my "stupidity" at not knowing why, "He's my boyfriend."
My heart fell, but my face looked uninterested. I was trying SOO hard not to look upset. Thank God I took acting classes from Fred and George!
"And you are?" I asked after a few moments of silence.
"Jackie Coldwell," she stated, and looked at me like I was a slug or something. "Ravenclaw. So, remember. Stay away from Oliver."
"He's my best friend, I'll hang around him all I want." I said trying to get her to shut up.
"Not if I have anything to say or do about," Jackie said haughtily and stomped away.
I had just let my face fall when the compartment with Alicia and Angelina opened, and they both stuck their heads out. Thankfully I was looking away from the compartment, so I had time to change my crest-fallen face into a smiling one.
"What's wrong?" Alicia asked, looking concerned.
"Nothing, I said, smiling, "Just forgot the password. What is it anyway?"
Angelina looked around to make sure no one was looking, then leaned down and whispered in my ear, "Oliver is the hottest guy at Hogwarts." Then speaking normally again, she added, "We changed it after you and the twins left."
"Ahh, I see." I said, walking into the compartment and sitting down. Closing my eyes and thanking Fred and George over and over again in my brain for giving me acting lessons.
