Chapter Six: The Halloween Party with Cedric

It was October. And this month is always the best month ever. Because:

1. We have our first Quidditch match

2. The Halloween party

3. It's almost Christmas!

Anyway, I was in Hogsmeade now, discussing the kiss Oliver gave me. Alicia and Angelina went crazy when I told them, and they're now even more determinant to know if he likes me. But, as they said themselves, they already know. They say he doesn't kiss a girl on the cheek for fun.

Hmpf… And if I don't believe that?

We were in some special clothing shop for Halloween costumes. Alicia was going as an angel, while her date (Fred) was going as the devil. Not that he needs a costume for it. Even when it's not Halloween, he's also a devil.
Angelina had picked up her fairy costume and I was still choosing. I didn't manage to get a date. I was too shy to ask.

What? You better believe it!

I sighed while I putted back a princess dress. "I don't want to be going as a princess, or something. I want to be special!"

"What were you thinking about then, Kat?" Angelina sighed. She had already given up picking out dresses. She really hated shopping.

"I don't know. Something different then anyone else." I said slowly.

Alicia showed me another mouse like costume. "How about this one, Kat?"

I pulled a dirty face. "No, not that one Alicia. I want something… well, dressed."

"Oh! Now I know what you want! Something to make the male population drool?" Alicia said enthusiastically. She never stops shopping. How people can be different.

Alicia ran back to the back of the store and came back five minutes later with all beautiful dresses. "Now that's what I'm talking about!" I said. I pulled the dresses out of Alicia's hands and went to fitting room.

After a half an hour of fitting several dresses, I had finally found the one I was looking for!

I mean yaay! I'm not that girl who wears dresses all the time. Long live baggy pants and some sweater that's not too tight.

I looked at myself in the mirror. The dress was red, and pretty long. It had a low V-collar and was pretty tight around my hips, showing their perfect measure. It had no sleeves.

"Come on, Kat! Show us how gorgeous you look so we can get our of here." Angelina yelled.

I giggled and pulled the curtain of the fitting room aside. Both Alicia and Angelina gasped.

"Sweet Merlin, Katie. That dress is made for you! It sure was worth all the waiting." Angelina sighed.

"I think that someone, who's initials are OW, will be liking you more when he sees you like this." Alicia said.

I rolled my eyes to her while I closed the curtains again to change clothes.

When I had my black jeans back on I looked at myself. Why didn't I have a date? Of course, I thought about asking Oliver… but it isn't a girl's task to ask the guy, right?

Anyway, I had hoped he'd ask me, but someone informed me he was going with the blonde bitch Alexis. Don't ask me why, he probably has his reasons.

And Cedric was something else. He hadn't talked to me in ages and I was starting to wonder if he actually loved me.

"Katie? What are you doing?" I heard Angelina say. She really is impatient.

I got out of the fitting room and paid.

I am so late for dinner! I wanted to take a little nap, so I had but it lasted a little longer then I thought it would. So now I was sprinting in the halls so I would be a little on time. Buuuut, someone had to prevent that from happening.

"Katie!"

Oh bloody hell! Now I'm pissed. Although I don't know why, but I'm pissed. I'm a girl, I have the right to be pissed.

"What!" I said rather angry and turned around. Cedric stood behind me.

"Sorry, are you late for something?" he asked apologetically.

"Just for dinner," I said shortly. "Why do you need me, Cedric?"

"Well, I wanted to apologize because I haven't talked to you in a week…"

And that's he saying now. I'm still pissed!

"… I thought you needed some time for yourself, so you could… think about what I said to you. And I wanted to ask you if you had someone for the Halloween feast."

Ahaaa, do I smell the scent of a date?

"Well, I don't have a date."

"Great! Do you want to go with me?" Oooh, look at the boy, he's staring at his feet.

Since there's no chance in going with Oliver, then Cedric seemed just fine. It's not like I'm going with Flint or something.

…

Ieuw.

"Yeah, sure Cedric. I'll go with you."

He looked up and smiled at me. He also has even and white teeth. But his smile doesn't make me melt.

"It's a date. I'll wait for you outside the Gryffindor tower." And he stalked off.

This is it, then. The big night… I've always wanted to say that. Don't ask me why… Maybe I watch too many muggle movies that includes teenagers that are going to their proms and most of them lose their virginity. Not that I was aiming for that last one. But, it's almost the same scenario.

It was the Halloween party and I had pulled on my dress and the make-up. I was staring at myself in the mirror. My hair was curled, I wanted to make a pony tail but Alicia told me to curl it. I didn't want to, but Alicia can be scary sometimes, so she curled my hair.

"It's time, Kat." Angelina said. She, too, was looking smashing in her fairy dress.

I sighed. I really wanted to go to the party with Oliver.

"Come on, Katie. Cedric is not that bad. And maybe you'll find yourself in love with him." Alicia said, while she hugged me.

Let's compare Cedric to Oliver. They're both Quidditch players and captains to their teams, they're dark and handsome… but Oliver just had that little bit more.

Anyway, enough talking, let's get over to action.

Angelina and Alicia were already downstairs and were waiting for me as I didn't want to be left alone with Cedric. I slowly descended the stairs. When I got in the Common Room every eye was on me. I saw Fred and George nodding their heads and when I glanced sideways I noticed that Oliver's eyes were almost popping out of his head.

"Let's go then," Fred said and took Alicia's hand. "You look magnificent, Katie."

Fred, Alicia, George and Angelina walked out of the portrait hole. I wanted to follow them, but Oliver stopped me.

"Hey, Katie?"

"Yeah, Oliver?" Why is my heart beating so fast?

"Could you save me a dance?" At least he dares to stare me in the eyes.

"I'll save you two," I said and smiled sweetly.

"Thanks. You really look… breathtaking." And with one more look at me, he stepped out of the portrait hole.

Cedric is a bit possessive, and that quite annoys me. When I asked him if I could dance with Oliver his eyes shot fire. No dance with Oliver then.

Speaking of the devil, there he is. He noticed me too, and walked towards me.

"Hey, Bell. Having fun?"

"Yeah, quite." I looked around to see if Cedric wasn't looking. Luckily, he wasn't. Too busy with his drink. "But Cedric won't let me dance with you."

"Oh," his face fell a little bit. "No problem, we'll do it some other time then. Well, I've got to go, Alexis is waiting for me." He smiled bitterly and walked back to the bitch.

I always thought a party should be fun and interesting, right? Or have the rules of partying changed without my knowledge?

I am bored to death. Clearly, Cedric isn't really of a dancer… He almost broke my toes twice, so we gave it up.

Oliver looked like he was having the time of his life. He's laughing, he's drinking, and he's dancing with the bitch. Why is he going with her? I mean, he doesn't like her, I think… But he seems happy… Was he lying to me?

No, he wasn't… Oliver Wood doesn't lie… I think…

…

ARGH!!

I have a new mission: let's find out more about Oliver Wood.

Yes, that sounds good.

That stupid party is finally over! Cedric decided to call it a day. Finally! It's two in the morning. Ok, it's not that late, but when you're bored you get really tired.

Cedric walked me all the way to the Gryffindor Tower.

"Thanks, Katie. I had a really good time." He said, smiling at me.

Liar cough liar cough

"Me too, Cedric. I guess I'll see you later?" I wanted to turn around and walk into the common Room when Cedric gave me a peck on my cheek before running off.

Again, AAARGH!

Why does he keep doing that? That's quite… irritating…

I bumped into Oliver when I burst into the Common Room.

"Everything ok, Kates?"

Aaawww… The boy looks concerned.

"Yeah, everything fine…"

What? I'm not going to tell that Cedric kissed my cheek! Not that it's big news but… Oliver is my censored crush!

"Sure?" Oliver took a step closer which led to me… not breathing!

I nodded.

"You still owe me a dance, Bell."

Since when is he using my last name?

He slipped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. EEEEEK! He's with his arms around me! Okay, act cool… I did the thing that seemed right, I think… My arms found their spot around his neck and my head rested on his shoulder. We slowly danced, without music.

This is the most perfect dance I had in all my life.

Awwww with me people! cough Anyway, I had sort of a plan, but then the Oliver/Cedric/Katie triangle wouldn't last that long… I'm evil, I know. Review? Please?

And I'm sorry it took so long, please don't kill me. I have a very good reason!
