A/N: I know the years are a little messes up in this fic, but bear with me.

Chapter One: Angel

Katie Bell walked along the compartments in the Hogwarts Express. This year was going to be Katie's last year at Hogwarts. And currently, she was looking for someone. She turned a corner and spotted the person she was trying to find.

"Ol!" She said as she neared him. Oliver Wood turned around and a smiled spread across his lips.

"Kates!" He said as he engulfed Katie in a hug. Katie laughed.

"Rib breaking." She said, and Oliver loosened his grip a bit. Oliver finally pulled away.

"Katie, how was your summer?" He asked, as the headed toward the compartment they always shared on the ride to Hogwarts.

"It was good. My favorite place was the beach." Katie said. Oliver gave Katie his trade mark smirk.

"Had your fare share of summer flings, I gather." He said in his Scottish accent. Katie turned her head forward, and nodded with a small smile on her face. Then she nudged Oliver in the shoulder with her own.

"How 'bout you, Mr. Wood. Did you have a nice summer?" Katie asked, wondering if he had been 'Flung'. Oliver shook his head and Katie hit herself in the forehead with her palm. "What am I thinking? You were probable off the ground to much to meet anyone." She said with a smirk of her own. Oliver rolled his eyes.

"For your information, Miss Bell, I had a great time with Lina this summer." He said, a knowing smile on his face. Katie stopped and put her arm out to stop Oliver, also.

"You mean, Lina Bain? The girl you can't stand?" Katie asked. You see, Katie and Oliver used to be next-door neighbors in a little town in Scotland; before Katie moved to Dublin, Ireland. Oliver nodded, and Katie and him continued walking till they got to their compartment.

"One in the same." He said finally, with amusement in his voice. Katie and Oliver sat down.

"Ol, she was a right-Bitch!" Katie said. Oliver nodded.

"Yea, but she was a right-hot-bitch. And still is." He said. Katie rolled her eyes.

"Guys." She muttered under her breath.

"And who, my I asked, did you go out with this summer on your brilliant vacation?" Oliver asked. Katie smirked again and then crossed her knees.

"Cedric Digory." She said, also, with a knowing smile.

"The Hufflepuff Captain!" Oliver yelled. Katie nodded, her smirk turning into a full blown smile.

"Yea, we ran into each other when I was at the beach." She said. "I really should really burn my camera." She add as an afterthought. Oliver shuddered.

"Okay, Kates. You win. But, that was to much information." He said. Suddenly the door to Oliver and Katie's compartment opened.

"Oh, has our little Katie been naughty this summer?" George Weasly asked, as he came into the compartment. He was followed by his twin brother Fred; and Katie's other best friends, Angelina Johnson and Alicia Spinnet.

"I think she has." Alicia said in a baby voice. Katie rolled her eyes.

"Minds. Out. Of. Gutter. Please." Katie said. Fred took in a sharp breath, and gave a look like he was offended.

"Never!" George and Fred said at the same time. Katie rolled her eyes again.

Three day later, after lights out, Katie sneaked outside; where she proceeded to mount her broom. You see, for years; Katie, Alicia, and Angelina had been going to a Muggle Kareoke Bar about 7 miles away from Hogsmead and about 10 miles away from Hogwarts. About ten minutes after she took off, Katie landed behind the Kareoke Club. The club wasn't just Kareoke, though. You could also play instruments and sing. That's what Katie always did. They had a piano at the club, and she would play songs. Tonight she was going to play a song called 'Angel' by a muggle singer named Sarah Mclachlan. Those were the only songs she could play anyway, muggle ones. But, she was from a muggle family, so she knew them well. Katie walked into the club. There was a sign up sheet at the entrance. Once you signed up, about 20 minutes later you would perform.

When Alicia came, she played Guitar. That was her favorite instrument. And Angelina could play the drums, but you can't sing a whole song with just drums. But she never really sang anyway, unless Katie or Alicia wanted her for back-up or they needed a drum player.

A few minutes passed as Katie stood in front of the door waiting to be called to the stage. Suddenly, the door behind her jerked open.

"Hey, Kates. You gone on yet?" It was Angelina and Alicia. They always came, even if Katie was the only one performing. Katie shook her head. Alicia shrugged. "That just means we made it in time." She said happily. Katie nodded and laughed. A few seconds later, Alicia and Angelina went to find themselves a table.

"Next we have a new comer, Daniel McKeller. And Katie Bell is needed on deck." A woman said over the microphone. Katie glanced at Alicia and Angelina, who both gave her a reassuring thumbs up. Katie smiled back at them, and headed backstage. "Hey Katie!" Said the woman that had introduced Daniel McKeller.

"Hey, Lora." Katie said, with a smile. Lora looked at the sheet and shook her head with a smile.

"Another Sarah Mclachlan song?" She asked. Katie laughed and nodded. Lora shrugged. "Okay. I just gotta say, if McGonaggal ever catches you over here, we will both fry." She said. Yes, Lora had gone to Hogwarts, two years ahead of Katie. That's how Katie had found out about this Kareoke bar.

"I know, I know. At least it's Saturday." Katie said. Lora looked up, Daniel had finished.

"That's my que, and almost yours. Get ready." She said, as she put a big smile on and walked out onto the stage.

"Everyone, put your hands together for Katie Bell." Lora said. Katie walked out onto the stage and sat herself at the piano. A second later, she started playing.

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

The crowd watched Katie in silence. They always did. But, even if the crowd had been yelling at the top of their lungs, Katie would not have heard them. Playing music took her away. It, made her feel like she was on her broom, flying over the ocean. It was peaceful, and loud at the same time. She felt like she was in heaven, and more with every note.

In the arms of an Angel fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

That's how she felt. She was on Angel wings, soaring with the clouds. And, it's not like she hadn't flown with the cloud before. But, it wasn't the same feeling that it was when she got on her broom. Yes she loved to fly, but this was a whole different kind of flying. All doubt, all pain, all worry; left her when she played. And seemed to disappear when she sang.

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of an Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

That was her comfort. A second later, the audience started clapping, like they always did. But Katie didn't care, she just loved being able to play. It would always help her, or so she thought.
