I FEEL GREAT!!
-huggles Miss Lady Padfoot with all her might-
The same day I post you review, and within the two hours I was at basketball practice!!! YOU ROCK!!! Do all my kiddies know how extremely rewarding it is to come back from a crappy practice, finding out that one of your friends is leaving for the army to a wonderfully wonderful review?!? Meh.. I bet you guys do, but I just HAD to express my extreme happiness, because I rarely ever get to a point where I just can't stop smiling. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! W00T W00T!!
Now on to QTTA!!
Oh and to emphasise my good mood, another half chapter for all to enjoy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-Chapter Eighteen and a Half-
"Katie," Alicia whined, stomping her foot on the stone floor of the entrance hall. "For once, get your head out of the clouds! Come spend the holidays with me and Angelina! You need to get away from the castle, and away from Wood as well."
"Wood?" Katie inquired, looking as though she had never before heard the name. "Wood who? I don't think I know this Wood character you speak of." She turned her back to her friend and stalked away, but to no avail. Alicia was hot on her heels, begging--- no, pleading--- no, groveling for the blonde to reconsider her decsion. "Besides, I will be fine here, with Fred, Lee and George."
Angelina, who listened to the whole thing rolled her eyes. "Yeah right. If we leave you with those three for a long period of time, I'm sure we'll find you a mental mess when we come back." She was leaning against the cold walls as she watched her step-sister try to persuade Katie to go with them to 'The Pit' with them for the holidays.
"Besides," Alicia added, hastily, "Lee certainly won't be staying. He's going home, and I don't think you can handle Fred and George on your own. I advise you come with us."
"No," Katie said stoutly. "Honestly," she contniued, in a more approachable tone, "I don't see why you two worry so much. I'm very capable of taking care of myself."
While Katie continued to talk to Alicia about how she could care for herself, Alicia argued that no one should be forced to spend their holidays alone, nor with the Weasley twins. While the two girls made a spectacle of themselves, Professor McGonagall came around with a sign up sheet, asking for the names of all who were leaving for the holidays. Angelina took the sheet and put her name, Alicia's name and Katie's name as well. When the lady professor gave the girl a skeptical glance, Angelina smiled innocently, "Katie's going with Alicia and myself, the thing is she doesn't know it yet."
With a roll of her eyes, and a slight smile, Professor McGonagall nodded and marched off, collecting more names from students desiring to leave Hogwarts grounds over the winter recess.
After twenty more minutes of Alicia and Katie bickering at one another, the two girls finally stopped to take a breath. Alicia walked dejectedly over to Angelina and leaned on the wall, resting next to step-sister. Due to the forelorn look on her face, Angelina could safely assume that Katie had stated that she would be spending the holiday alone. "Alright, Angelina, you try and convince her to come with us."
"Katie," Angelina called, motioning for the blonde to come over. When she did, she grinned wickedly, "Due to the fact that McGongall has you down on the list of people that's going away for the break, you're coming to 'The Pit' with me and 'Licia. Got it?" She gace Katie a hard look before she relaxed with a smile. "And I'm positively sure that you're going to love it."
Katie blinked a couple of times as she looked at teh dark skinned girl. She opened and closed her mouth several times before she simply turned around and walked away. Before she ascended of the marble staircase Katie turned around to look at her two friends, who were unsuccessful at hiding their smirks. "I'll go, but don't think too deep into it. And you," she potined at Angelina, "I promise will get what's coming to you." With that she advanced up the staircase.
Alicia and Angelina looked at one another, both laughing silently. Angelina was first to break the laughter, "So how do you think she'll get me back?"
"Oh! She might turn your hair a putrid looking greenish color, or even worse," Alicia pushed herself away from the wall and headed toward the staircase Katie had earlier gone up. Angelina followed suit. Another idea came to Alicia, "Or she might give you one of Fred and George's pranks. Possibly the canary creames. Those are a riot."
Angelina shuddered, "Oh, don't remind me. Had Lee not warned me, I would have accidently eaten one last night." At this, Alicia laughed out right and the two girls made their way up to the Gryffindor Common Room, talking about ways Katie might get Angelina back.

Miss Lady Padfoot - YOU ROCK!!! And you SO get some brownies and cake and cookies and candies of all kind! You are so awesome! Yes! Awesome is you! Is you awesome? Yes you awesome! W00T W00T!!!
Lia06 - Collin is pretty creepy. And I actually KNOW someone who's creepy like Collin, 'cept he doesn't run around taking pictures ov everyone. He'll buy a lot of stuff and then give it away to people, so that the people will think he's cool. It's really dumb and stupid, and I truly don't understand people sometimes. I'm glad you enjoyed!
Cookies for all!!!! -tosses sugar cookies and peanut butter cookies and chocolate chip cookies and all those other cookies people like-
Look forward to some... er... stuff in the future, and keep reviewing! Uhm... oh yeah, I didn't call you all kiddies yet.
Later Kiddies!!
