ANGEL
"KATIE get up now," Angelina yelled while grabbing the nearest pillow and throwing it at Katie's head
"Dam that girl!" Angelina said in frustration
There's only one way to wake up sleeping beauty," Angelina said while evilly smiling at Alicia.
2 minutes later Angelina slowly walked in with a large jug of cold water and looked playfully at the sleeping form of Katie.
"Before you do that you know she's gonna kill you", Alicia murmured
"Umm... Yup I know but I recon it's worth it though"
Looking down one more time, she smiles as she tips the cold ice water over Katie.
"Wha…… What in merlin!"Katie yelled in confusion as she looks up in shock and sees Angelina holding the jug of water over her head, trying to suppress her laughter
"I'm gonna kill you Angelina" Katie yelled as she jumps out of bed.
Angelina doesn't notice this and gets tackled to the floor by Katie, who without mercy tickles her until she is gasping for breath.
"Ok…Ok hehe…I'm sorry please… haha……please stop"
"If you do that again I swear I will get you back twice as bad," Katie said trying to sound angry but in fact failing to do so
Getting up she pushes back the hair from her face and examines her wet clothes.
"Why did ya wake me up for" Katie whined while looking at her two best friends
"Were going to Hogsmead, don't you remember" Alicia spoke up
"Shit I forgot about that, I still have to get presents for the boys"
"Well hurry up and get ready or we'll be late, the boys are meeting us down at the common room in 10 minutes," Alicia said while handing Katie her clothes.
10 minutes later
"You ready Katie? were gonna be late!" Angelina called out from the bottom of the stairs
"Yeh… alright, relax I'm ready" Katie yelled back in a slightly annoyed tone
Running down the stairs she see's the group, but the one that catches her eye is no one other than Oliver, over the couple of months she had been feeling more than she wanted about Oliver.Her mind just told her it was nothing to worry about, and that she wasn't feeling anything different for Oliver and that it was just the added stress put on her because of the last year ,but deep inside her heart, she felt like it was more than that, and this feeling is what scared her most
"Finally made it, we all though you got lost", Alicia beamed
Rolling her eyes at her friends lame attempt a joke, (which was cute in a way) she followed the group down to the entrance hall where they were all to catch the train into Hogsmead.
"Us boys are going to go to Quality Quiditch Supplies, if that's alright with you guys", Oliver spoke up as they all sat down in one of the old carriages.
"That's alright, we'll meet you in the Three Broomstick in an hour, how does that sound?" Katie speaks up
Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement to the arrangement , they all sat down and talked about the upcoming Christmas feast and the Quiditch game that was coming up after the holidays, they didn't even notice the train had stopped until the deafening sounds of feet came stampeding out of their compartments.
Looking outside you could barely see the shops as they were all covered in layers of snow, Student were already swarming to the numerous shops ready to buy the priceless delicious sweets that Hogsmead could offer.
Walking of the train Katie could feel the cold wind beat against her face as she hiked through the thick snow.
" Hey we'll meet you in the Three Broomstick in an hour", Angelina sayed while tugging on her scarf
Nodding the boys start walking toward the direction of Quality Quiditch Supplies.
" Where do you want to go now?" Katie spoke up while looking in the many directions of Hogsmead
"There's this new place, they built it not long ago, they have everything there. I wouldn't mind checking it out", Alicia, said while pointing in the direction of the shop
"Sounds good to me, better than standing out here and freezing our arses off" Katie said while faintly smiling at Alicia
Stomping along the snow, they stop in front of a big store.
"This is the one I was telling you guys about", Alicia beamed as she peered through the window
Getting inside the shop, was fairly refreshing as they could feel the instant heat.Looking around, they were in awe at the size of the place, it was huge.It had at least 50 isle if not more, of everything you could think of, including Quiditch Supplies.
"I wonder if the boys have seen this", Katie said in wonder while continually scanning the different isles
"Who cares, lets just have our hour of fun", Angelina spoke up enthusiastically while overly ginning like a child who's Christmas had come early.
While going from isle to isle they picked up items that they needed, new gloves for Quiditch, a new top for the weekends, Alicia was even tempted to buy a cute teadybear but decided against it, as it was highly expensive and thought that she could by something much more useful.
Paying for the items, they make there way to the Three Broomstick.Katie remembered that she had forgotten something at the shop, she assured her friends that she would be alright by herself, even though her they were reluctant to let her go.
Meanwhile as she was walking back and humming a Christmas carol, she could feel someones eyes on the back of her head, shaking the thought away she continued walking.Getting back to the shop she quickly retrieved her lost item.
Walking back she was sure she was being watched and it scared her to death.Walking as fast as she could she hurried to get back to the Three Broomstick but out of nowhere someone grabed her arm and stifled her scream while pulling her into a alleyway.
"What in Merlin's name…?" Katie yelled while trying to struggle out of the strangers grip.
"Let go of me!" Katie tried to yell but her protests were muffled by the stranger's hand
"Calm down Katie", a familiar voice speaks dangerously into her ears as fear trickled down her spine
"David let go of me NOW!" Katie screamed panic evident in her voice
"Ill only let you go if you stop struggling and don't run away" he wispered in her ear making her feel physically sick
Realising that it was the only way to escape Katie agrees to his proposal.
"Fine I will I promise" Katie lied in hope that he would let her go
The instant that he let her go she turned around and kicked him where it hurt "serves him right", she thought to herself.She rans mentally thanking her mom for making her go to those self defence classes when she was younger.Not looking back she rans until she could run no longer she slowed her pace down as she gots nearer to the Three broomstick.
Walking into the Three Broomsticks she peered around looking for her friends, seeing them waving to her she quickly walked towards them settling herself next to Oliver.
"What took you so long Kate?" Oliver said looking concerned
"Sorry they couldn't find it at first" she felt guilty lying but she had to
"Well, the main thing is that you're here.For a moment there we thought you got mugged or something", Alicia said airily not knowing the real story about her late arrival
"If only they knew what had really happened", Katie thought to herself but quickly pushed the thoughts out of her mind
"So, what did you get us for Christmas" Fred teased as he looked at each and every one of them daring them to tell him.
"Sorry you'll have to wait till Christmas Fred," Katie said jokingly while putting on a brave face.
"Aww I hate surprises" Fred whines as he tries to put on his puppy dog face but fails miserably
With everybody laughing at him, they soon enough got onto other topics of interests, such as the pranks in which the Weasley twins had put on Professor Snape, the groups least favourite teacher. Who always favored Slitherin over the other houses and found it highly amusing to deduct points whenever possible.They laughed away at all the times the twins had mucked up in their class and had sent their cauldron to spill all over Professor Snape's head, which they got deducted 150 house points and three months detention.
Angelina realizes the time and spoke up telling them that they had better go unless they wanted to miss the last train back to Hogswart. Getting up they all made there way through the snow, because it was getting dark and colder by the minute, Katie shivered and moved her hands up and down her sholders trying to warm herself up, Oliver seeing this took off his jacket and offered it to her.
"Here take it Kate's or you'll catch a cold," Oliver said while looking concernedly at her
"It's alright Olly i'm find, plus what about you," Katie said worriedly
"I'm Find, just take it" Oliver convinces her while putting the jacket around her sholders
She felt instantly warm,it wasn't like it was the first time she had worn his jacket but for some reason it mad her feel secure and she noticed that it smelt just like him, Electrical currents rode down her spine at the thought, trying to ignore the feelings she continues walking with Oliver.
"Its so much warmer in here", Alicia said while sitting down nearest to the window.
I'm glad we'll be back at Hogwarts soon I'm freezing" Anglina piped up while trying to simultaneously warm her self up as tiny white clouds emit from her mouth
"It should take to long to get there, then we can go straight to our domentries" Katie said looking wishfully out of the windows.
However, at that second something had happened which had never happened to them before. The train suddenly slowed down and the light flickered off.
"Where not here already are we?" Oliver spoke up while looking out into the darkness trying to figure out what happened
Then out of nowhere an announcement was heard
We are sorry for the trouble but we have delay.The trains due to technical difficulties have stopped working we will try to fix the problem sorry for the inconvenience.
"Great where stuck here in this cold train until they find a way to work it", Angelina complained
"I'm sure we'll be out of here soon don't worry about it," Katie said reassuringly but unsure herself
Sitting in the train was one of the worst times they ever had.Sure they talked but at some point they were all to tired and cold to even bother.At this point in time every one was falling asleep the only ones left awake were Katie and Oliver.
Katie snuggles into Oliver's lap as his arm held her waist trying to keep her warm. Oliver could feel that Katie was cold and did everything he could to try and keep her as comfortable as he could. Lately for him, he had been feeling something for Katie which he couldn't quiet put a finger on.Part of him denied it, he couldn't she was like a sister to him, but in his heart he felt like it might be more than that and unable to admit it to himself he knew he was falling for her.
With Oliver, stroking her face Katie's eyes open up in confusion
"What time is it?" she asks half asleep while looking up at Oliver questionably
"Its 3 am"
Nodding Katie puts her head back down and closes her eyes. Oliver looks at her sleeping form reminding him of a angel, sighing he closes his eyes while listening to her rhythmical breathing.Finally after several minutes Oliver's eyes grow heavy and he plunges into a blissful sleep where he dreams about a certain Quiddich girl who he has yet to know his feelings for.
