Chapter 2-First Day at Hogwarts

Professor McGonagall walked in with the new first years, causing the hall to become quiet instantly. She placed a dirty, ragged wizard's hat on a stool and looked down at a piece of parchment in her hand.

"Ante, Anthony," she called out and looked up at the new first years expectantly. A timid looking boy stepped forward and she motioned him towards the stool. He went to the stool and gingerly picked up the hat and placed it on his head.

"Ravenclaw," the hat declared without hesitation. Loud cheers erupted from the Ravenclaw table as Anthony went to join them.

The ceremony repeated on like this until all of the first years had a house. Professor Dumbledore stepped up and began his speech.

"I want to welcome you back to another year at Hogwarts. Before you tuck in, there are a few rules I would like to remind you of. The Forbidden Forest is as it name says, Forbidden. No one is permitted in it unless they have permission. No dung bombs in Professor Snape's office," he shot the Weasley twins an amused look, "No magic in the corridors or outside. The third floor corridor is restricted, as is the restricted section of the library. And Mr. Filch would like me to remind you that a list is posted outside his office of restricted items. Without further ado, tuck in!"

Platters of steaming food started magically appearing on the tables and students began 'tucking in' to the scrumptious food.

"This is good," Fred said after biting into a drumstick, "very, very good."

"Ewww," Angelina squealed and shielded her eyes. "You are a total pig!"

"Thank you, why thank you very much," Fred bowed his head.

Angelina rolled her eyes and looked at George. "Why, isn't that attractive."

George was scooping mashed potatoes off his plate with his fingers and eating it off. He paused to give Angelina a confused look before continuing to eat his potatoes.

Katie looked at the twins before saying, "Remember what happened last year?"

"Please," Alicia begged, "not another repeat of last year!"

George grinned. "Fine, no repeat of last year, but only because you asked."

Alicia gave George a smile small before going back to her food.

Katie turned to Oliver. "So Mr. Quidditch Captain, what's on the agenda for this year?"

Oliver pretended to ponder her question for a moment while he stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Well, I'd have to say win the house cup. Did I forget anything?"

"No," Fred replied with his mouth full of mashed potatoes, "I think that's just about it."

"Fred!" Angelina wailed. "That's revolting!"

Fred swallowed his food and laughed.

"Anyhow," Katie directed everyone's attention from the disgusting boy and back to her, "I was thinking we ought to have more practices if we're going to win this thing!"

A series of groans and curse words were her reply.

"I think it's a great idea," Oliver replied with a grin.

More groans and cursing.

"Come on guys! Don't you want to win this year?" Katie asked, confusion written plainly on her face. She didn't realize that not everyone loved Oliver's grueling practices like she did.

"Four days a week sound all right to you guys?" Oliver asked, ignoring the groans and curse words being thrown in his direction.

"When are we supposed to do our homework?" Angelina asked with a worried expression on her face. "I barley had time to sleep last year with your damned every morning and three nights a week practices!"

Oliver gave her an exasperated look and opened his mouth to speak when the food disappeared and Dumbledore rose to speak once again.

"Saved by Dumbledore," Fred whispered in a giddy voice.

"Shut it," Oliver whispered with a scowl.

Dumbledore looked around the silenced hall and gave instructions for the prefects to direct all the new students to their dormitories. After he was done speaking, the entire student body rose from their seats and mass mayhem surfaced.

"Boy, am I glad we made it out of that one alive!" Fred gave a relieved sigh and wiped his brow.

Oliver rolled his eyes.

Katie looked at her watch and then at Alicia and Angelina. "I'm going up to the dorm. What about you two?"

Alicia and Angelina both nodded and then all three of the girls said their goodbyes to the guys and headed up the girl's stairs to their dormitory.

Once inside the sixth year girls' dorm, Alicia and Angelina started chatting animatedly about Fred and George. Katie rolled her eyes and turned towards her trunk. She began rifling through the trunk and digging out the books and other supplies she would need for her classes the next day. She pulled out a photograph of her and Oliver from during the summer and sighed.

"Katie, what's that?" Angelina asked,

"Just a picture from the summer," Katie answered nonchalantly.

"Oh," Alicia raised her eyebrows. "What of?"

"Oliver and me," Katie replied, once again, nonchalantly.

"Awww, you two make THE cutest couple," a new voice squealed from the door.

"We are NOT a couple," Katie said, not looking up, "just good friends."

"Alas, that's what they all say."

Katie looked up and scowled. "I should've known it was you, Andrea."

"Love the warm welcome," Andrea grinned.

Katie rolled her eyes. "Hello Andrea. How are you? Better?"

"I'm fine, thank you. And yes, that is much better. By the way," a grin spread across Andrea's face, "you two do make the cutest couple!"

Katie balled up her fists and screamed, "YOU INFURIATE ME TO NO END, ANDREA HOOFERS!"

"I love you too?" Andrea questioned with a wide grin.

"Ergh!" Katie grunted and stormed out of the dorm, leaving a puzzled Alicia, Angelina, and Andrea sitting on their beds.

"What's the matter with Mondays?" Oliver asked in an exasperated tone.

"Um...," Fred gave George a helpless look before hearing some squeals coming from the girls' stairs. He turned and saw a very red Katie pushing through masses of first, second, and third years on her way down.

"Ahoy, Katie," George called with a slight chuckle.

Katie gave him a brief glance before making her way over to him, Fred, and Oliver.

"What's up your arse?" Fred asked while looking her over.

Katie scowled at Fred before sitting on the couch between Oliver and George.

"How does Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday afternoons and Tuesday and Friday mornings sound?" Oliver asked Katie, receiving icy glares from both Fred and George.

"For what?" Katie asked only half paying attention to what he was asking.

"Quidditch..." Oliver looked at her like she had grown two heads.

"Oh, of course," Katie replied. "What was the question again?"

Oliver scowled at Katie before answering her. "Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday afternoons and Tuesday and Friday mornings sound good to you?"

"Six days? I know what I said earlier, but six days..." Katie trailed off.

Oliver's face showed dismay. He thought that Katie would agree with him and help get the rest of the team in the spirit. "Fine, we'll go back to only four," Oliver muttered.

Fred and George erupted in cheers and squeals of excitement before leaping out of their seats and running up the boys' staircase.

Katie noticed the look on Oliver's face and patted his shoulder. "Cheer up Ollie. If we look really pathetic and need more practices, we'll just have to do the six a week."

"Like that's better. That'll make them hate me even more, if possible," Oliver returned.

"They don't hate you. Well, I don't hate you. I don't know about them, though."

"At least one person on my team doesn't hate me," Oliver muttered.

"There you go Ollie. Keep up the optimism!" Katie gave him an encouraging look.

Oliver rolled his eyes and stood up. "I think I'll just take my optimistic self upstairs and get some sleep."

"Good idea," Katie muttered. "Maybe the noisy gossips are already asleep."

"Doubtful," Oliver replied with a grin.

"Night," Katie replied and lightly kissed him on the cheek and made her way up the stairs.

Author's Note: Sorry guys! :) I know that was a short chapter and that is took a while to get posted but I have a good excuse! Ok, so I had Satan written on my arm as a joke, and I suppose my mother, being the Godly weirdo that she is, took it too seriously because we were in the car going to soccer and I swear all hell broke loose. She started randomly screaming at me and calling me an "evil sadistic devil-worshipping demon." And therefore I was grounded for about a week and so on and so forth.

Thanks to phat duck, Katie, Lia06, tiffanyrose, Allysonkat, Kathy, Blind-Sight, Paradise-Unknown, CasseyGrey, Rubber-Chicken, and IHopeForAnarchy.

Paradise-Unknown- Thanks for the long review! It made me laugh when I read it! And I guess I'll have to write more for the sake of your unworthy mind... just kidding. Your mind is perfectly worthy.

IHopeForAnarchy- Love the name!
