A new chapter. I hope no one thought that was a terribly long wait!
School has started back up, and I have two really hard classes out of four. That means I will probably have to devote more of my time to studies than to writing chapters for my stories, if you all want long chapters like I've been writing.
For those of you who care, I've received the placements from Nationals. Our band placed fourth, which is just amazing. I am very proud and will brag to anyone who will listen. =)
I spent almost all of my Winter Break writing this chapter. It's sixteen pages long! That's pretty good for me…
There's an important note at the bottom, right after the chapter ends. I don't want to put it here because it might spoil some of the content. But please read it, if anything written here disturbs or angers you. Which I hope it won't. O_O
Now on with the show…Enjoy!
~*~
The hall was dark and cold. At the twins' orders, Oliver was kneeling with them behind a small staircase by the entrance to the dungeons.
"Care to tell me what we're doing?" Wood asked, folding his arms across his chest in an attempt to keep himself warmer.
George held a finger to his lips. "Shh!"
"We're waiting for something to happen," Fred supplied quietly.
Oliver nodded uncomprehendingly. Just then, a group of Slytherins left the Great Hall, slowly heading towards the dungeon door. Marcus Flint was with them, along with a few of his teammates, Malfoy included.
Fred smiled devilishly as he took out his wand. He nudged George with his elbow and the other twin reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, clear sphere. Then they both went still, waiting for the perfect moment.
The Slytherins walked past, not noticing the three Gryffindors. Taking the moment, George tossed the sphere out into the crowd. While it was still in the air and not seen, Fred waved his wand and muttered something. There was a loud pop and the group was surrounded in a pink smoke.
When the smoke began to clear, the students waved their hands in front of their faces, coughing and wrinkling their noses at the smell. Suddenly, a burst of laughter made everyone look towards the center. Seeing what had caused the first chuckle, they, too started laughing. Flint was standing there looking very flustered…for good reason. Somehow, his black school robes had disappeared to be replaced with a bright pink formal dress covered in sequins, complete with pink boa and feathered hat.
Oliver's eyes widened in amusement, biting his cheek to keep from laughing out loud. Flint quickly grabbed the hat off his head and threw it and the boa to the floor, a horrified look on his face. Not knowing what had happened to his robes, he turned tail and fled down into the dungeons. The group followed, their snickers echoing through the hall.
Once all the Slytherins were out of sight, Fred and George each grabbed one of Oliver's arms and ran with him up the stairs and to the common room. When the portrait swung shut behind them, they burst with laughter.
"What was that?" Oliver gasped out, clutching his side in his mirth.
Fred grinned widely, catching his breath. "One of our inventions,"
"Yeah," George nodded, speaking between laughs. "It was meant to be used on girls, not Flint!"
"But I do believe that was a wonderful prank," Fred put in. "Don't you think, brother?"
George nodded again. "Oh, yes."
"What's so funny?" Alicia came through the portrait and saw the threesome.
Oliver shook his head, his laughter slowly dying off. "Just a Weasley doing."
Alicia smirked and walked up the stairs to her dormitory. Just as her door closed, the portrait opened again and this time Angelina and Katie walked through. Lee was behind the two girls and as soon as he saw the twins, he went over to them. After a moment of whispering, Lee grinned and nodded. Then Fred grabbed the other boy's arm and steered him back out of the portrait, George following, leaving Oliver alone, a smile still on his face.
Angelina turned to Katie. "I'll get my books," Katie nodded and smiled at her friend as she ran through the common room and up the stairs.
Oliver walked forward. "Where are you going?"
Katie turned to him. "We're going to the library to study."
"Oh," Wood nodded and looked away.
"Would you like to come?" the girl asked. "I could help you with Potions."
He shook his head, not meeting her gaze. "No, thanks."
"Are you sure?" Katie pressed. "That exam was really hard. And I know you think so too, so don't deny it." She grinned as she caught his eyes with her own.
Wood smiled back, but didn't have a chance to reply as Angelina came back down the stairs, three books in her arms.
"C'mon, Katie," she said as she walked past. "Could you get the portrait, since you were smart and brought a bag?"
Katie laughed and went to her friend. "Are you sure you won't be joining us, Oliver?"
"I'm sure," he said, "I'd like to start looking at new plays for the next game."
"Of course," Angelina muttered. "Mister Quidditch, aren't you?"
~*~
The halls were quiet. Torches along the walls gave light to the darkened floors as the two girls slowly made their way to the library. Even though there were a few hours until curfew, no one was out, choosing to stay close to the fires of the common rooms.
The storm was still howling outside, not doing much to get people's spirits up. Katie sighed as thunder clapped, shaking the windows.
"Is this rain ever going to stop?" she grumbled to herself.
"Good day, ladies!" Both Gryffindors jumped at the sudden voice, but calmed when they saw who it was.
"Hello, Professor Lupin," Angelina said politely.
"It's not safe out here, you know," Lupin said, his voice strangely sarcastic.
The girls looked at each other, not knowing what to say to the teacher's remark.
"Go on," The professor smiled, lightening the tension. "You'll be fine, I'm sure."
Katie nodded. "Goodnight, Professor,"
Lupin nodded in return and continued his way down the hall.
"Why did he sound like he didn't believe any of what he said?" Angelina asked quietly once he had disappeared.
Katie shrugged. "Maybe he doesn't think…I don't know,"
"Hmm," The black girl shook her head. "Strange,"
They entered the library a few minutes later. As could have been predicted, it was empty except for the librarian. The girls set their things down on a table and sat across from each other.
They sat in comfortable silence, looking over notes and through books, when someone entered the library rather loudly. It was a girl with light brown hair, apparently younger that the two at the table.
She made her way huffily over to the table and glared at Katie. "I come with a warning," she said coldly.
Katie looked up and raised her eyebrows. "Excuse me?"
The girl reached over and snapped the Gryffindor's book closed. "Oliver is mine," she growled. "Stay away from him,"
Katie snorted. "And again, excuse me? Who are you to tell me what to do?"
The other narrowed her eyes and glared at the Chaser. "You'll listen to me if you know what's good for you," Her voice was wickedly soft.
"You must be Natasha," Angelina pointed out, smirking. "Sorry little six year, but you should be running along now."
Natasha turned her stare to the black girl. "You stay out of this,"
Katie stood. "And you leave her alone," She pointed her finger warningly at the younger girl.
"I don't know why you are friends with such a piece of dirt. My extended Muggle family has servants like her," The Ravenclaw shot a nasty look to Angelina.
The Chaser felt her anger flare, but stayed seated, not giving into the provocation.
"What's the matter, afraid to stand up to me?" Natasha asked Angelina.
Katie pushed the chair to the ground with a thud. "I said to leave her alone!"
"Oh, I'm scared," the other girl said sarcastically though she did take a step back when Katie began advancing at her.
"Get out of here," Angelina said angrily, holding Katie back by the sleeve of her robes. When Natasha didn't move, Angelina yelled, "I said leave!"
Deciding not to push her luck with the two older girls, Natasha turned. But before she walked away, she said over her shoulder, "You've been warned."
As soon as the door to the library slammed shut, the librarian stalked over to the two remaining girls.
"Out!" she cried shrilly, "I don't want any trouble makers in this part of the school! Out, out!"
Eyes wide, Angelina and Katie quickly grabbed up their things and rushed from the woman's hard stare.
Once they were on their way back up to the common room, Katie threw her books on the ground, infuriated. Angelina jumped at the sharp sound that echoed through the hall.
"Katie?" the black girl asked her friend, confused.
"That was horrible!" Katie said, her voice dripping with disgust. "How could she say that to you?"
"Calm down," Angelina put her books on the ground as well and placed her hand comfortingly on the blonde's shoulder. "It's all right. She was just trying to get to you, so don't let her."
"But that was just a terrible thing to say!" the other girl nearly wailed. "How can you be taking it so easily?"
"From experience," Angelina patted her friend's back. "C'mon, let's get back upstairs. We can talk better up there."
Katie nodded and joined in picking up the books from the floor. They continued their way in silence. When the portrait opened, the loud talking from the common room swirled around them.
Angelina left Katie with Alicia on a couch by the far wall, saying that she wanted to shower, and continued up to her dormitory. She put her books down on a table by her bed and walked into the bathroom, picking up a towel from the foot of her bed on the way.
Closing and locking the door behind her, she turned on the water of the shower, making sure that it was hot. She hung her towel on the rack. Wiping at tears that stung her eyes, she stepped into the steaming stream of water.
***
Katie sat with Alicia downstairs. When the blonde hadn't said a word, her teammate looked over at her.
"Are you all right?" she asked.
Katie shrugged. "You remember that girl that talked Wood into going to Hogsmeade with her?" When Alicia nodded, the girl continued. "Well, she confronted me in the library and said some pretty rude things to Angelina."
Alicia rose her eyebrows, surprised. "What did she say?"
"To me she said, 'Oliver is mine'," her voice rose, mimicking the other girl's nasal tone. "That didn't bother me, but what she said to Ange was just wrong."
"And what was that?" The dark-haired girl made a gesture with her hand, urging an elaboration.
"She made fun of her because of her skin color," Katie sighed. "I've read about racism in America when I was still in Muggle school, but I didn't know it happened here."
Alicia's jaw dropped. "She didn't!"
The other Chaser only nodded. She had purposely left out the whole thing about the 'warning' also given.
Alicia shook her head disdainfully. "I knew she was trouble,"
Katie actually laughed, though it was a bit fake. "That old crow in the library said Ange and I were the trouble."
Silence reigned as the two stopped talking. Alicia picked up a book, but Katie was lost in thought.
What is wrong with that girl? She asked herself. Obsessed with Oliver, obviously. She shook her head, amazed at Natasha's brash attitude. But is she serious about that warning she…warned me of? What could she even do to me? She's a sixth year, so nothing magic-wise. I'd be able to counter whatever she threw at me. Or maybe her head is so big she actually thinks she could do something like that.
Katie shook her head again, this time clearing the thoughts from her mind. She looked around the room. Neville and the younger Weasley were sitting by the fire, talking quietly. The twins had dragged Lee to a corner and the three currently had their heads together, thinking up new pranks to play on people, snickering. Groups of scattered people lined the room, not yet ready to head up for bed. Since the next day was Sunday, no one except the Granger girl was doing schoolwork. Only a few people were missing.
"Hey, Alicia, where's Oliver?" Katie asked, her eyes still scanning the room.
"He's already gone up. Percy and David went with him." Alicia looked up at her friend momentarily before going back to her book.
"What are you reading?" The blonde tapped the book curiously.
Her teammate held it up. "The Lord of the Rings," she said. "It's pretty good. I've already read it twice," She grinned.
Katie smiled. "I tried reading that a while ago. I was young, so didn't grasp all of the big words."
Alicia laughed. "I understand completely."
"You know," the other girl observed, "You always have a book. I'm guessing you like to read."
Her companion's grin widened. "Did you just notice that?"
Katie laughed and shook her head. After a few minutes, the seventh year stood. "I'm going to go check on Ange."
Alicia nodded. "Tell her…" she paused, "Tell her that I give my well-wishes."
"I'll do that," Katie smiled benignly and walked across the room and up the stairs to her dormitory.
As she opened the door, Alyssia's black cat ran past her legs. Katie watched the animal dash down the stairs and narrowed her eyes. She wasn't a cat person.
She entered the dark room and stumbled over to her bed to light a candle. Light flickered under the bathroom door, showing that Angelina was still in the shower. Frowning, she lifted the candleholder and approached the door.
"Ange?" Katie called softly. "Are you okay? It's been nearly thirty minutes!"
After a moment, Angelina's voice floated back. "I'm fine. Be out in a minute,"
"Alyssia and Elizabeth are still downstairs, so if you'd like to talk…" she left the offer where it was and went back to her bed, lighting the other candles around the room. Once she had finished, she pulled on her pajamas and climbed into bed to flip through a Quidditch magazine.
Nearly fifteen minutes later, Angelina finally emerged. She had thrown on a deep scarlet robe over her own pajamas. The color looks good on her, Katie noticed dumbly as she focused her attention anywhere but the other girl's face.
"I would like to talk," Angelina said softly as she sat gently on Katie's bed.
The blonde immediately closed the magazine and put it on the table. She beckoned her friend closer and the other girl crawled fully onto the mattress, crossing her legs as she made herself comfortable at the foot of the bed.
Before Katie could say a word, the black girl spoke. "What happened with Natasha," Her voice was soft, almost too much so to hear. "It's happened before. That's why it didn't affect me like it did you."
"What?" Katie looked utterly confused. "What are you talking about, Ange?"
Angelina sighed. "Do you remember me telling you a while ago that I was born and raised in Africa before my family moved to England?" When the other girl nodded, she continued. "We moved here to escape those who were still racist in my home. There was a whole group of them that still owned slaves, can you believe it?"
Katie just stared at her friend open-mouthed. "You weren't…"
The Chaser shook her head. "No, I wasn't. But my family used to be, dating way back until a few hundred years ago. They were taken and sold. My great, great, great, great, so on and so forth grandfather escaped and came back to Africa."
"Oh, my goodness,"
"That is why her words did not hurt. I grew up hearing them. Just not in a very long time." She looked down. "We are accepted here, in this country."
Katie was still at a loss for words. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
Suddenly Angelina laughed. "You look like a fish, opening and closing your mouth like that,"
"Well," The other girl closed her mouth, but opened it again when she spoke. "I'm sorry,"
Angelina shook her head. "You have nothing to be sorry for. I just thought you'd like to know that."
"Yes, well, it is something that you seem to have never told me in the seven years we've been friends."
"It's not something that I can simply blurt out, you know!"
Katie laughed. "You just did!"
Angelina gave her friend a fake scowl. "You wanted to know,"
"Yes I did," Katie said firmly. She reached forward and gave the girl a hug.
After a moment, the other Chaser pulled out of the embrace. "I'd like to go to bed now. I guess studying can wait until tomorrow,"
"And this time I'd like to stay in the common room instead of going to the library!"
Angelina chuckled and climbed off the bed and into her own. "Goodnight, Katie," she whispered as she blew out the candle.
" 'Night, Ange," Katie's candle was blown out soon after, leaving that side of the room in darkness. By the time the girls' roommates came up to the dormitory, they were both sound asleep.
~*~ *~
Time passed quickly after that. Harry was released from the Hospital Wing and had gotten a magazine from Oliver to find a new broom to replace his broken Nimbus. Wood himself had gone back to being his old self, working his team incredibly hard in the misting rain that still hadn't left going into December.
The holidays were approaching. The halls and classes were buzzing with excitement; everyone was anxious for the term to be over and was greatly looking forward to getting away from school for a while.
When the list to sign up to stay at the castle was passed around one night, Angelina looked at it and shook her head.
"Only eight kids are staying," she said as she pointed out three names. "Poor Harry; he has to stay again. The little Weasley and Granger are staying with him."
Katie looked over the girl's shoulder. "Look," she said, pointing to another name. "Lexie is staying, too."
"Isn't she the Hufflepuff you've been helping with Quidditch?"
"Yeah," the blonde nodded as she went to a sofa by the fire.
Wood was already there, glancing at a book. Katie flopped down beside him. "What're you reading?" She pulled the book from his hands and looked at the title. "Quidditch Facts for the Quidditch Fanatic. I should have guessed."
Wood laughed. "You should have. Can I have it back now?" He held out his hand expectantly.
The Chaser huffily dropped it into his waiting fingers. "You are insane, do you know that?"
"Of course," he said, a scarily serious expression on his face. After a moment of trying too hard, he grinned. "Where's Ange?"
"She went up." Katie waved her hand toward the dorm. "Still had some last minute stuff to pack."
"So you have finished before the neat-freak?" Oliver raised an eyebrow. "I find that hard to believe."
"Then don't believe it." His teammate smiled. "I haven't even started yet."
Nothing else was said. Katie had not told her captain about what his 'girlfriend' had said, either to herself or Angelina, but she didn't want to tell him now. He had too many things to worry about; he shouldn't have to deal with one of his rabid fans out to get him all to herself. Should he?
Wood yawned. "I think I'm going to go on up." He stood and stretched his arms over his head. "I'll see you tomorrow on the train."
"Sure," Katie stood as well. "I need to all my junk together so I may as well go get that done."
The boy smiled. "You do that. Good luck." He turned to go, but as an afterthought, he said over his shoulder, "If you find that you're missing your Quidditch shoes, don't come after me. The Weasleys had 'em last." With those parting words, he mounted the stairs and went into his room. Katie looked after him, her mouth wide open, terrified at what the twins had done now.
*
The students woke early. Katie, Angelina, and their two other roommates met with the seventh year boys and went down to breakfast.
The Great Hall was a buzz with excited chatter, everyone happy to be getting a break from studies and glad to be seeing family and friends back home. The tables were laden down with eggs, bacon, toast, fruit, and almost anything else one could think of to eat in the morning.
Angelina looked down the length of the Gryffindor table and spotted Lee and the twins. "See you on the train," she said to her friends and went to sit beside her 'boyfriend', so to speak. Elizabeth and Alyssia went to find places to sit beside some of the other girls. Katie found a place to sit beside Alicia, across from Percy and Wood.
Percy looked up. "Good morning, Katie," he said.
Oliver smiled at her. "Finish packing?"
"Yep," The blonde nodded. "Very early this morning."
Alicia turned her attention to the Weasley. "Why isn't Ron going home with you?"
Percy shrugged. "He wants to stay with Harry, I guess."
"Maybe Harry will find a broom he wants," Wood said as he took a large bite of eggs.
Katie fixed him with a hard stare. "How compassionate you are, oh captain." She grinned. "Lay off a bit. He really loved that Nimbus."
Oliver shrugged. "I only want what's best for him and the team. He wasn't doing any good on that school broom, now was he?"
The girl shook her head and filled her plate. "Things will work out. You'll see."
*
Within an hour, the students had crowded into the horseless carriages and were headed to Hogsmeade.
Once they got to the station, everyone ran about, trying to find their trunks or a car to stay in for the trip. Angelina, Lee, the Weasley twins and Percy, Oliver, Katie, and Alicia found a car near the back and filed inside. It was a tight squeeze, but they all fit.
The group talked for a bit once the train started moving. Fred and George entertained them all - except Percy - by demonstrating some of their newest inventions. After a bit, the oldest Weasley left the cramped space to find his sister. The twins, out to make their brother's life as horrible as possible, followed. Soon after, Alicia fell asleep, her head resting against the window.
Katie, who was sitting beside Oliver, looked over at her friend. Angelina and Lee were talking quietly and neither noticed the girl watching them. Wood was looking out the window, which was on his left. He seemed quite absorbed by the trees as they whizzed past.
The blonde sighed and leaned back in her seat, quickly growing bored. Oliver looked down at her and grinned.
"Are you okay?" he whispered into her ear.
"There is nothing to do," Katie said under her breath
Wood laughed softly. "You are very hard to please,"
He received no reply and looked to his other Chaser. Angelina looked up and caught his eye. Something passed between them and she turned to Lee and said, "Let's go find the trolley; I'm hungry."
"Sure," Lee glanced to the Gryffindor Quidditch captain. "Do you and Bell want anything?"
They both shook their heads. Lee and Angelina stood and left the car, leaving the two alone with the sleeping Alicia.
Oliver looked back at Katie. She had turned to stare past him and out the window. She felt his eyes on her and met his gaze.
"What are you looking at?" Katie grinned up at him.
Wood shook his head and didn't answer. He turned toward the window again. After a minute he looked back at the girl beside him, unable to keep his eyes off of her.
Katie met his eyes again. "Honestly, Oliver," She shook her head and smiled at him. "Is my hair a mess or something?"
He grinned. "Your hair is fine," He placed his hand gently on her head. "As is the rest of you,"
Katie's smile brightened. "Really?" she asked humorously.
"Of course," Oliver replied softly. "Like always."
"You're so sweet," The girl reached her hand up and let it rest against his cheek.
Wood grabbed her hand and held it tightly with his fingers. "Katie," he whispered, "What is this between us?"
Katie shot a nervous glace at Alicia, who was still sleeping, before looking back at the Keeper. "I…" She paused, not knowing what to say. "I know…I know I feel something," she said cautiously.
"I feel more than 'something,'" Oliver said, his voice soft.
"What…what do you mean?" Katie watched his as he cast his eyes down, a bit confused.
After a moment of silence, Oliver brought his eyes back up to meet the blonde's bright blue ones. "This,"
He leaned closer and caught Katie's lips with his. Katie was a bit surprised by this action, but quickly warmed up to him. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck as Wood slightly deepened the kiss. He released her hand and put his own behind her shoulder, pulling her closer to him. A shock ran through them both as their bodies touched. Katie leaned against his chest and fisted her hand in his hair.
The kiss lasted for close to five minutes before Katie pulled away. She smiled uncertainly at Oliver, blushing, as she disentangled herself from his arms. "Well," she said breathily, "I guess that's what you meant,"
Wood opened his mouth to reply but was cut short when Alicia sneezed. Soon after, she opened her eyes and yawned. Looking at the other two people in the compartment, she raised her eyebrows. "How long have I been asleep? Where is everyone?"
"Angelina and Lee went to find the trolley a few minutes ago," Katie said.
"And Percy went to find his sister." Oliver added.
"Where'd Fred and George go?" Alicia asked, looking around as though the twins might be hiding under the benches, ready to jump out at her.
Katie grinned. "They went after Percy,"
The other Chaser laughed. "Poor Percy,"
"Indeed," The door to the train car had opened, to reveal a very frazzled Weasley. His cheeks were red, as though he had splashed warm water on his face. To confirm this observation, his black robes were dripping wet, as was his bright red hair. He took off his glasses and flopped on a seat beside Alicia.
Wood quickly stood and pulled out an extra set of his own robes. He threw it at his friend. "Put this on before you freeze,"
Percy took the dry clothing gratefully. "Thanks," He peeled the wet robes off of his body and let them fall in a heavy heap on the floor before pulling the new ones over his school uniform.
"What happened to you?" Katie asked, picking up the Weasley's glasses and cleaning them with the edge of her skirt.
"My brothers," was the only answer the Head Boy gave as he sat back down beside Alicia and took his glasses from the other Quidditch player.
Soon after, Angelina and Lee reentered as well, taking a seat beside Percy. If their flushed faces were any indication, they had been doing just what Wood and Katie had been doing. Katie smiled mischievously at her friend.
The Gryffindors began talking happily at the news that they were about an hour from London. The talk turned to a number of subjects, and soon the blonde and Keeper fell silent.
Katie curled up on the seat, leaning her head against Oliver's shoulder. He put his hand on her forearm, holding her to him. Careful not to bring attention to herself, Katie brought Wood's fingers to her lips and pressed a gentle kiss to his knuckles.
Oliver smiled slightly and rested his head against hers as they both listened to their friends chat away.

** Here's that note I didn't want to leave at the beginning. I really hope no one thinks I'm racist from what I wrote here. I am definitely not, and I hope no one took offence from that. I have a lot of colored friends, and I myself am Jewish, so I have nothing to hate. =) **

Winter's Roar: I always look forward to your reviews!

And, like you said, it makes things seem more realistic. Of course I haven't forgotten Natasha! She's going to have an important part in things to come. (Ohh…foreshadowing…my Lit teacher would be proud.) And I am far from done with Flint. Oh, and not to worry. There will still be Ange and Lee fluff later. And about Oliver not being able to fight? I have no idea. It was his idea. He told me so. O_o Anyway, thank you so much for your wonderfully nice compliments!

Scully: We need to see RotK again, and point out every little detail that is wrong or left out completely. And I can't wait to see Big Fish with you. Too bad there's no Johnny Depp in it…=( See ya in Physical Science, which is such a pointless class since it won't even be looked at on our college applications…
Happy New Year, everyone!
