Woot! A story for all you Katie Bell fans out there! Alright, anyway, this is just the start, and there will soon be vists to Hogsmeade, vists from old friends, and more!

DISCLAIMER I do not own Harry Potter, or any other characters in this story nor the idea of a wizarding school. If I did, one I would be filthy rich, and two I probably wouldn't have this here.

Ok, now with that out of the way...HERE WE GO!

YEAR SEVEN AND BEYOND

Katie Bell was now a 7th year, this would be her last year at Hogwarts, but this year would be totally alone. Oliver had graduated years ago, three to be exact, Fred and George left before the end of last year, and her two best friends, Angelina and Alicia had graduated last year. Yes, all her friends were a year ahead of her. Her first year had been the first time something happened in the history of Hogwarts. One person was sorted into Gryffindor, Katie Bell. Her name was first on the list, and she came first an last into the house of Gryffindor that year. No one knew why that had happened, seeing as that year they had more than the average ammount of first years, but most were used to it now, except Katie.

Katie did love though, that she got to be a prefect, though she has never had a male opposite her for Gryffindor in her year. Now, as a seventh year, she was Gryffindor quidditch captin, only Gryffindor seventh year, and Head Girl. She had a lot on her shoulders this year, but then again, she didn't have any of her friends around her to distract her, though she wished she did. Rodger Davis was opposite her as Head Boy, and she couldn't stand him. They had dated for a little while the year before, but she found him in a coat closet with Cho Chang 'comforting' her, yeah, more like sufficating her, the poor girl had been turing purple. Wait, what was she thinking, poor girl? She hated Cho for it to, when Cho turned to see her she had just smirked, she hated them both.

Katie was definetly NOT going to move into the Head's dorms.

The Head Boy and Girl were given the option to move into their own dorms somewhere on the first floor that had a main room, much like the common room, along with two seperate rooms, one for Head Girl, the other for the Head Boy. Katie didn't want to be near Rodger all year, only when she had to at prefects meetings and such. So, after they were announced at the feast, the Gryffindors clapped loudly for their Head Girl. She smiled to everyone down the table (she sat at the front) and she scowled as Dumbledore stated Rodger Davis was Head Boy. After the feast they were to go to Dumbledore and state wether they were going to move into the Head's dorms or not.

"Of course I shall sir." Rodger told him with a smirk at Katie. Rolling her eyes, Katie told Dumbledore her choice.

"I would rather stay in the Gryffindor Tower Professor." Katie then smirked at Rodger as Dumbledore told them of their dutys. They were to take turns every night and patroll the common room entrances until Filtch was to start watching them, at around midnight. Since curfew was 10, they would only patroll for two hours. Katie instently called for tomorrow night as her first, so Rodger would start tonight. Nodding, Dumbledore went on.

"You will also have to conduct two meetings a month with all of the prefects, one also containing the quidditch captains of Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin."

"What of Gryffindors?" Rodger interjected.

"Why, that would Katie of course." Dumbledore answered continuing on. "You will then both meet with me at the end of every month and tell me what you have done at the meetings and such. Also, if a prefect comes to you, or you yourself are having a consistant problem with a certain student, come to me as soon as possible. I would like to inform you, you may both give and deduct house points, with a good reason. Now, off to bed for you Katie, and Rodger off to patrolling, for it is now five till ten. Come to my office after you finish Rodger and I will lead you to your new dorm."

With that Dumbledore left them. Katie then made a quick exit, to be rid of Rodger. She didn't think it would be that simple but it was. She figured he had some girl waiting for him in a closet somewhere. She rolled her eyes at the thought, and wondered what he would do in that dorm by himself. She shuddered at the thought. Shaking her head she stood in front of the portrait of the fat lady and realized she didn't remember the password. She sighed and pulled out the slip of paper she had written it on and spoke it to the fat lady.

"Cornish Pixie."

The portrait swung open and she stepped in. As soon as the portrait closed, the common room erupted in celebration. Katie smiled to them and waved, high fiving a few people on her way to the stairs to her dorm. She turned to see the faces of all of the students in the years below her, including Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley, sixth years. Harry was most likely to be quidditch captain for he was on the team longer, but then again she though Harry would get prefect over Ron. She smiled to them and realized she had to have quidditch try outs for most of the team. There were seven people on a team, and they had lost four. Sighing she remembered she had already booked the pitch a few days in a row to do these try outs. Coughing, she silenced the Gryffindors.

"Let me see, I am pleased to be your Head Girl, and Gryffindors Quidditch Captain. I'll be darned if we don't win the House Cup AND the Quidditch Cup." Hollars erupted and she silenced them again. "As for tryouts, chaser tryouts will be this Saturday, at the pitch at noon, and beater tryouts will be at noon as well, but this Sunday. I hope to see all of you with talent to come." Cheers again erupted. "Now off to bed before I take points from each of you thats out of bed."

Laughing, Katie turned from them and walked up to her dorm. As always, to big and to empty for her taste. Sighing, she changed into her pj's and lay down on her bed. She had a feeling this would be a long year.
