I looked at him until he was out of view.
McGonagall turned around from across the room in front of the door to the corridors. "Miss Bell, I suggest you go to your common room before curfew," She said before leaving the three of us in confusion.
I decided to walk back and start on homework since there was nothing else to do.
I was just walking down the corridor, until I was pulled behind a statue brusquely.
"Who do you think you are trying to steal Oliver from me!" a female said angrily, while shoving me against the wall hard enough to knock my breath out temporarily.
"Wendy?" I said trying to see whom it was in the darkness.
"Yes! Now leave him alone he's mine-" Wendy replied huffily.
"-And what will you do it I don't?" I replied in defence, realising whom it was.
"I'll be forced to hurt you!" She said, here voice ringing through the silent corridors.
"I'd like to see you try," I said pushing her out of my way, so I could walk out into the corridor light again.
I heard her huff out loudly as I walked down the corridor and than I heard her footsteps retreat in the other direction. She sniggered out a loud before I completely lost her footsteps in the deafening silence.
I walked briskly to the common room, 'Jeez, I will never understand her? Maybe she just came out of St. Mungos? Seems logical enough? Oof!'
I walked into something – more of the less someone, this had caused me to forget any previous thoughts.
"I'm so sorry – oh hi Roger!" I said while dusting myself off and smiling up at him.
"I heard about the incident with Oliver" he said looking away, slightly frowning.
"Jeez news travels fast, but it was nothing, just got locked in-" I said as if it was nothing, smile slightly faltering from his expression.
"- How do I know that something didn't happen in there-" He said getting right up into my face, Anger shown in every crease on his normally soft features.
"- Roger? Don't you trust me? I didn't do anything with him – Oof!" I began but he had pushed me roughly against the opposing wall, his hand held tightly around my throat.
"You're lying, Stop LYING!" he slapped me across the face and I fell to the floor in a heap, shock written all over my face. He looked down at me for a few seconds. His features suddenly softening as it dawned upon him on what he had just done.
"Oh my god! I am so sorry Katie! I don't know what came over me, I just, I am so sorry! I……I just…I just lost my temper. Oh, I am so sorry" he said bending down and holding me close to him.
"Oh, yea? It's. It's ok? It must have been fatigue, you should get some rest," I said nervously into his shoulder, while holding my left cheek which was starting to bleed slightly. 'He must have been wearing a ring'
"Do you want me to walk-" he began
"-No! Um mean, no it's ok, I can walk by myself, I'll be fine" I interrupted. I started walking but once out of sight of Roger I started running as fast as my legs would carry me, until I had gotten to the portrait of the fat lady.
"Precious Secrets!" I squealed as my voice broke. The portrait flung open and I stepped hurriedly into the room before catching sight of Angelina, Alicia and Wendy sitting on the couch talking with Fred, George and Oliver. They looked up at my entrance; Blood was beginning to seep through my fingers, which were cradling my bleeding cheek. "Katie are you oh– You're bleeding!" Angelina said running up to me. Everyone stood up about to come over. But I quickly dodged Angelina and locked myself in our bathroom.
I fixed myself up and waited until it was completely quiet and all of them had finished trying to charm, hex or chant the door open.
By the time I came out everyone was asleep by the door: Alicia, Angelina, Fred and George in a heap by the door, Lee was leaning by one of the beds and Wendy was lying on the bed.
I carefully stepped over them and strode over to my bed. I stretched out a hand to grab a blanket but noticed someone was on your bed. It was Oliver.
I grabbed a Blanket from a folded pile at the foot of my bed. But just couldn't resist, so I silently went over to him, so that I was leaning by his side. I sighed quietly as I brushed a stray hair out of his face. 'He looks so peaceful when he's asleep' I cupped his face gently in my palm, her nuzzled into it, his eyebrows knitting in confusion.
He than started mumbling something "Mmm, Katie…I don't understand...Why do you love him? You can't because…I…love you…" He said, sadness and yearning dripping off his words.
I quickly stood up in shock. I started walking backwards heading over to the door and tripped over on the blanket; I had previously gotten and landed with a loud thud. This caused Chocolate to startle and start barking and everyone to wake up.
"Katie?" I heard Oliver mumble, shifting on the covers. He stood up and I could tell he was trying to focus his eyes. I carefully stood up, thankful for the darkness in our room, well clutching the blanket to my chest.
"Hey guys! Wake up! I think Katie's pulled a runner!" I heard him yell to my friends.
