Story 32

"Hey Ange' over here!" I yelled leaning outside the window to her. She slowly turned her head and waved back, she pulled a couple of red headed boys along with her through the bustling crowd. I sighed and looked around the crowd. I fingered my necklace as I searched through the crowd.

"Looking for us?" I turned to look at the doorway before being bowled over by two redheads.

"Hey guys! God I missed you! And did you get your presents? Did you like them?" I said excitedly as the 2 let go of me and I hugged Angelina.

"We got our gifts and I loved mine! I loved my outfit and obviously you liked yours too?" She said gesturing my outfit.

I looked down and smirked. I was wearing a black t-shirt, which had white writing, which said 'My boyfriend says back off!' and a pleated pink; plaid mini and I wore a pair of my favourite black ballet looking shoes.

"Well, I can say the same about you" I said smirking as she looked down smirking as well.

She was wearing a pair of tight bootleg dark denim jeans and a red v-neck cut short-sleeved top, which went quite low down her chest. We both giggled at each other as we realized we were checking each other out.

"Hey guys did you miss me?" I looked around Ange' and saw Alicia standing in the doorway in a denim mini skirt and a spaghetti tank top.

My jaw dropped open as I squealed happily before jumping up and wrapping my arms around her.

"Did we miss you? That's a dumb question! How bout 'how much did we miss you?' and the answer is a lot!" I said giggling as Angelina joined us in our now girl group hug.

Which we were than hit by Fred and George wrapping them in the group as we all laughed happily.

"Hey! Save some 'missing' for me!" An accented voice called from behind her, I tilted my head back and cried happily, as I attempted at wrapping my arms around Oliver at the same time, which resulted with all 6 of us lying on a heap in the middle of the entrance.

"Sorry guys, I just got carried away," I said blushing, I felt Fred and George get up and pull Angelina off of me, I felt Alicia dragged by the waist off of me and I sighed aloud.

When all of a sudden I felt a pair of hands holding me up in the air, I squirmed in their grasp as I opened my eyes and felt me being passed over to George.

"Guys this isn't funny, hey look the piece of gum from 5th year? Um mean put me down!" I said as they passed me between each other in the air as I looked at the ceiling.

"Come on put my girlfriend down," Oliver said from somewhere beneath me. I felt my body being thrown somewhere and I squealed before realising he had caught me.

"Hello Boyfriend," I said wrapping my arms around Oliver's neck as he smirked down on me walking over to a seat and putting me down.

"Anyway Katie," Alicia said butting in. I turned to look at her with sparkles of happiness glittering in my eyes.

"Did you take any photo's of the modelling thing with your aunt?" Alicia said sitting up in her seat as George sat down and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"Nah, my aunt wants them all for something, I don't know." I said flicking my wrist in an it's-not-important way.

"Sure, whatever" Alicia said rolling her eyes at me before we all broke out into laughter.

"So who's up for a game of exploding snap?" George said pulling out a deck from his pocket.

We all played exploding snap happily until we heard the compartment door click open. I sighed in disgust 'why did I have to see his muttly face?'

"Well hello Miss Bell, and mudbloods?" Flint said as his cronies began to laugh. I saw Millicent beside him looking at me with daggers.

"Turn your flabby arse around and leave!" Alicia said while standing up which resulted in all of us standing up around her.

"Let me think about it? No." Flint said simply as he leaned on one hip and winked in my direction.

I shuddered before Oliver stood in front of me as he pushed me behind him protectively. "Flint, Do not force me to hex you into Oblivion," Oliver said sternly.

Flint let out a cocky laugh "You? Hex me? Into Oblivion? Don't make me laugh Wood, you couldn't charm a rock to be a stone if you tried," Millicent laughed heartily as his cronies followed suit.

I suddenly began to feel warm and pulled at the collar of my shirt; I closed my eyes and fell to the floor.

Oliver quickly turned around and kneeled down beside me. I felt the warmth spread through my body as a light permitted around the room in an awe-like kind of way.

I suddenly felt the warmth spread rapidly to my fingertips as I arched into the light. I slowly stood up and opened my eyes slowly; the room was filled with a warm white light as everyone looked at me in confusion.

I nudged Oliver aside and looked out into the doorway where Flint stood staring at me dumbly.

"Flint, I insist that you leave," I said calmly lifting my hand to point at him. He shook his head and smirked at me.

"If you insist, than I insist that you accompany me back to 'my' compartment," He said smirking evilly,

I felt a coldness radiate the air around him and twisted my hand so it looked like I was twisting air. Flint looked at me confusedly.

"Do not tell me I misinformed you," I said pushing the air out in front of me, focussing my attention on Flint. I heard lightening crash outside the carriage window as Flint was flung into the wall behind him and his cronies ran off scared.

Flint writhed against the wall because he was suspended slightly off the ground by about 10 centimetres. I flicked my wrist and Flint's head swung to the side as if

I wiped my hand across the door and it slid shut, leaving my friends to bring their attention back to me.

'Calm thoughts, calm thoughts…' I breathed in a deep breath as I felt the light glowing off of me slowly disappear.

"I hope he learned his lesson," I giggled as I wobbled on my legs. Oliver caught me just before I fell.

"That was…it was?" Alicia began, looking at me in awe.

"It was brilliant?" George said smiling widely, I blushed at this and smiled nervously.

"Brilliant? That was Magnificent!" Fred said walking over to me and pulling me into a tight hug and spinning me around in the air.

"Katie, you have to teach me that? Is that one of your angel thingees? Or did you learn it from your auntie? Come on tell me?" George said excitedly as Fred sat me down and kneeled in front of me holding my limp hands.

"I – I- " I held a hand over my mouth as I yawned loudly "Sorry, I'm just…sort of tired," I said blinking my eyes tiredly.

"I think that every time she uses her 'powers' she begins to feel weak, this happened the first time as well," Oliver said holding his chin as he sat down beside me.

"ALL HOGWARTS STUDENTS PLEASE DISEMBARK NOW, YOUR LUGGAGE WILL BE BROUGHT UP TO THE CASTLE FOR YOU, THANK YOU AND WELCOME BACK TO HOGWARTS," I heard the intercom call.

I sighed and got to my feet reluctantly I wobbled slightly and felt 2 arms loop through mine on each side, I tilted my head up to each side and smiled thankfully to each of them.

"Come on, get the young lass up to the castle before she collapses again," Oliver said chuckling behind me. I rolled my eyes causing Alicia and Angelina to laugh.

We began walking until we began to walk through the compartment door, which of course is designed for one person to walk through.

I began to walk through it and than felt my body jerk back because Fred and George still were linked to me.

I slipped over and felt my body come to a sudden stop mid-fall. I opened my eyes and looked behind me and saw Fred and George who where holding me and themselves up as they leant against the doorframe.

I sighed in relief until I felt their arms slip and I fell sideways onto the ground, I sat up on my elbow and looked at the two with a cocked eyebrow before a thought occurred to me. I smirked evilly and I held my hand out in front of me at the two.

They looked at each other sceptically before repeatedly saying sorry to me and I giggled as Oliver pushed past them and helped me up.

I fell into his chest as he held me to up around my waist. "Thanks Oliver," I said as he began pulling me out of the crowded corridor.

Once out into the crowd Oliver held my hand and began to pull me through the crowd as the rain pelted down and the ground became muddy and wet.

I felt my eyes drooping and I fought to stay awake, we suddenly came to a stand still and I walked into Oliver's back, leaning my head against it.

I felt the rain pounding on my back as the darkness consumed everything around us. Oliver stepped forward and caught me before I fell to the ground.

"Come on, we got to get you to bed," Oliver said bowing low, I grumbled as I my body groaned at me. I suddenly felt myself being lifted off the ground and I opened my eyes only to smirk and giggle at him.

"You really don't need to carry me, I'm just a little tired," I said tiredly from Oliver's shoulder.

"Yeah right, you cant even stand by yourself let alone walk without hitting something," Oliver said as I heard his shoes splash through the puddles and mud. I felt his body turn and his arm extending out.

"Hey guys, do you mind?" I heard Oliver ask, I felt my waist being caught by someone's warm hands dragging me in, I turned my head and saw Fred and George guiding me onto Fred's lap.

Oliver came in and sat by the window, my head drooped and I slowly found it resting on Oliver's lap, I slid my hand into my pocket carefully and pulled it on myself muttering a silent spell.

My eyes shot open and I sighed getting comfy on the guys' lap, the girls giggled at me knowing fully well what I had just done.

"What did Miss Katie do, that we should know about?" Oliver said flicking my nose. My hands quickly holding it as I laughed happily at them. Fred yawned loudly and than he looked down at me.

"You could've asked us first," Fred said stifling another yawn.

"What did she do?" George said holding me around my waist so I couldn't get away.

"She performed a sugar energy charm, she just sapped some off of us," Fred said poking me in the gut. I squirmed and giggled innocently as George and Oliver stared me down.

"Sorry?" I said shrugging my shoulders as I jumped out their laps as the carriage came to a halt.

"Don't worry guys if you just eat some candy or some sweets you'll be fine," I said jumping out into the pouring rain, I sighed 'Wonder why the rain is so bad this year?' I shook my head and began running up the castle steps.

I shook myself off as the rain splattered out of my hair and towards the people around me, I shrugged my shoulders and stood on my tip-toes trying to look over the crowd for any sign of my friends.

I felt someone tap me on the shoulder and whipped my head around only to find my hair plastering to my face, I began peeling it off until a familiar pair of lips came crashing down on mine, I sighed blissfully as I closed my eyes, opening them once we had parted.

"Here, I remembered I had some candy in my pocket," I pulled out a small packet of muggle everlasting gobstoppers, I took one out and lodged it in his mouth and pulled him into the Great Hall, I pulled him down onto the bench next to me as I pulled my wand out using a drying charm on both of us and my friends as they came into view, they smiled gratefully as they sat down on either side of me and opposite me and Oliver.

I heard silence fill the hall and turned to Professor Dumbledore 'Another year, my final year, I wish it could last forever….'
