BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

'Uh? What's the time? Oh it's 6.30am! I'm gonna kill whoever set it this early. Oh well, I'm already up might as well get ready.' I thought, well pulling open the curtains. I swung my legs off the edge of my bed. 'I wonder how I got up here, any way? Last I remember I was doing my essay? I'll ask Alicia later' I held a hand to my head before I walked lazily over to my closet. 'What shall I wear today? Robes, robes or robes?' I laughed in spite of myself. 'I think I'll wear…hm? Robes! – Oh, Shh, They're asleep' I grabbed the top pile of folded robes and I tip toed into the bathroom, uniform in dangling in my hand.

I took a nice long shower, using my favourite shampoo and conditioner. I got out of the shower and started brushing my teeth. 'I wonder what Oliver is dreaming about? – Huh? What the hell is wrong with me? I can't be thinking like 'this' for my best friend… can I?' I rolled my eyes and gargled some water. 20 minutes later, I was dressed and ready, tying my hair up in a messy bun. I quickly applied some lip balm and got my school bag ready for the day.

'Ok, the time is?' I looked across the room a the wall clock 'I've got an hour to kill, I might go out for a walk, I'll get my bag later' I walked down the steps and found myself walking down the school corridors. 'Man too quiet!' I turned another corner 'So this 'thing' that's happening between Oliver, and me. How do I feel about him?' I turned another corner and pushed open the front doors. I walked towards the tree by the lake 'Maybe it's just hormones? Those 'raging teenage hormones' that McGonagall says are suppose to be happening to us?' I laughed aloud to myself, before sitting on a one of the tree roots.

'Maybe not, ok, let's just agree with myself for a second. I appear to be, well to 'like' Oliver as more than friends, this could pass soon. So I'll just agree that I like him, for now.' I nodded my head in agreement and than I looked down at my wristwatch 'Breakfast should be starting soon, I should head over now' I got up and briskly walked across the dewy grass and stumbled into the Great hall before walking into someone.

"Oof! I'm sorry! I didn't -" I said looking at the person, well holding my stomach.

"-I'm sorry, I'm new here, and I was – um? Hi, I'm Kellis, Wendy Kellis" she said holding out a hand. I gingerly took it, eyeing her carefully.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Katie, Katie Bell, by the way, what house are you in?" I said shaking her hand

"Oh, I am in - " she looked down at a piece of paper, before looking up at me to answer "Gryffindor?" She said with a small grin. 'Wonder how come I didn't notice her in our dorm?'

"Me too! What year?" I said getting ecstatic.

"Oh, I'm in 6th year" She said shyly, I smiled at her before I grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to sit down at the gryffindor table.

30 minutes later and a giant glass of pumpkin juice each, the two of us where talking like best buddies.

"- And than the stink pellet exploded in Professor Shape's face" we both started laughing quite loudly.

"I see you've met Wendy then" a female voice said from behind me.

"Oh hey Gals! Yeah, we're just talking about the stink pellet and Professor Snape, man that was so funny. Oh, that reminds me! Can you guys stay here with Wendy well I go get my bag? Thanks" I quickly got out of my seat and practically sprinted out of the hall. Passing Oliver, Fred, George and Lee

"Hi guys! Bye guys! See you in Class!" I said rushing past and waving an askew hand at them.

"I'll never understand her-" Fred said.

"-That makes all of us," George said just as I turned a corner.

They all had a bit of a laugh and than walked into the hall.

I ran back to my room and quickly found my bag at the end of my bed, I looked at my watch, "Oh crap, 30 seconds to get to transfiguration" I put my bag on and sprinted all the way, turning corners, yelling a few 'Hello's' and zooming up a few stairs. 'Ok, Just down this hall, WHOA! –' I thought, well skidding to a halt.

Just up ahead were all of my friends and Wendy. Wendy was holding Oliver's hand and He was…smiling? '-Oh, if this is what a broken heart feels like I'm going to be a nun,' I sniggered out loud 'wait did I just say 'broken heart'?'

Up ahead they had all walked into the classroom. I shook my head and waited a bit to catch my breath. I strode towards the door pushing it open slowly. I walked in hesitantly into the class clutching my bag to my chest for dear life.

My friends and Wendy waved for me to come over to them. I walked slowly towards them. Steps seeming like an eternity to hit the floor

'One step at a time, one class at a time, avoid all eye contact, be brave. Oh stuff it!'

I quickly turned on my heel and put my bag down, sitting in the back of the classroom, in the empty row. I felt their eyes burning into my head.

I started getting my things out of my bag and then began pretending to find the textbook very interesting.

Fred and George sat in front of me and were about to ask 'what was wrong', but just then McGonagall walked in causing all attention to follow her

'this is going to be a long day' I sighed out loud.

By the end of the lesson, I basically sprinted into Potions. 'Great, not only is this my most hated subject but there is only one spare seat in this class' I sat down at the desk in the front of the class, hoping none of my friends would sit next to me. I kept my eyes to the blackboard at the front of class and felt movement next to me. I turned to see whom it was, it was– Roger Davies?

"Hey Katie? How are you?" he said looking straight into my eyes. His eyes a deep ocean blues sparkling like the waves crashing upon the shore. I shook my head and looked towards the door Angelina, Alicia, Fred, George and Oliver had just walked in. Oliver looked at me with his mouth slightly open-jawed. I turned back to Roger,

"Absolutely wonderful!" I said putting on the biggest smile I could muster.

The lesson went if anything, great! We had to make a laughing serum, and me and Roger's was a bit too strong, so Professor Snape had to taste it, because he wasn't sure why it was so strong, he than doubled over in laughter.

It was definitely different seeing him laugh, let alone smile.

At the end of class I quickly went to eat lunch and before Angelina or Alicia had a chance to sit down, I was out of the hall and gone. I saw Oliver and he was looking straight at me, and then my eyes trailed down his arm and I saw who was attached to his arm. Wendy. I brushed shoulders with him and heard him calling after me, his pleas' desperate. But I kept walking. I went to the library and sat down in one of the compartments, where I ducked down so no one could see me.

"Is this seat taken?" a male voice said at the door. I jumped in my seat before turning to see whom it was.

I turned to see Roger standing there. "Oh no, go ahead take a seat" I said gesturing the seat next to me. He sat down.

Me and him just talked about anything and everything until the bell rang. I got up to leave but –

"Um? Katie, I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner with me tonight?" he said.

'It would be nice to keep my mind off of Oliver…' I thought. "Sure" I replied half-heartedly.

He walked me Muggle studies, well holding my hand gently in his.

"Hm? Looks like Muggle studies was cancelled today-" I said looking at the note hanging on the door, feeling kind of awkward. "-I guess I'll just go to the commons then!" I added.

"Do you want me to walk you there, I don't mind, honest?" he said looking at me with puppy dog eyes.

"No, it's ok, I'll be fine" I said smiling, hearing footsteps in the distance coming closer.

"Well I'll see you at dinner then?" he said looking into my eyes. I nodded deftly at him; he quickly kissed me on the lips and departed.

I opened my eyes slowly and turned to see my friends (minus Oliver and Wendy) staring open mouthed. My eyes widened with shock.

"Uh? Hi guys-" I said feeling uneasy. "- Uh? So did you guys read that class was cancelled?"
