Those Hazel Eyes

A/N: The title of this chapter inspired me by a band called 'Clouseau'. A Belgian band, but they so totally rock.

Chapter Ten: Take it to your heart

I have been extremely careful, these last days. I had told Oliver that I would take care of my little problems, but to tell you the truth, I was shitting my pants.

I know what you are thinking right now. I, Katherine Bell, am afraid of Cedric Diggory. Then you are thinking very wrongly, indeed!
No, it was just the fact that I had to talk to him about his behaviour. And I really hate that. I don't like it when other people do it to me.

Like two days ago, I passed Cedric in the corridor on my way to Charms, and he slapped me on my behind. Luckily nobody saw it (too much crowd) but it still was something that you just don't do. Nobody touches my behind! Except Oliver then. Giggle.

I tried to speak to him, though. He sat right in front of me during Potions. The result was I found the courage to open my mouth, but then closed it again, over and over. Snape had clearly noticed that and had called me a frog in front of the whole class.

I kicked open the portrait and threw my books in a corner. I kicked a chair and plopped into it. I had, once again, tried to talk to Cedric. He had heard me calling him, but instead of listening to what I had to say, he smiled maniacally at me and had grabbed my behind, again!

Oliver had watched me from the other side of the Common Room and came over to talk to me.
The look on my face must've told him enough, because the only thing he did was taking me into his arms.

'I can conclude that the talk to Cedric isn't evolving like you want it to be?' he asked.

'You are such a clever boy! You know,' I said while I poked my finger between his ribs, 'that's why I love you.'

'Just because I'm clever?' He looked at me with very big, twinkling eyes.

'Yeah, of course. I don't like you because you're handsome, you respect the female population, you look so damn sexy on a broom, you kiss like hell, you know what to do and what to say when I'm upset...,' I said sarcastically while my fingers went up and down his chest. I looked at him and I saw him smiling at me. He cupped my head and kissed me very deeply. I felt his tongue stroking my under lip. I opened my mouth and let him explore my mouth while I did the same in his.

A cough made us stop our actions.

'I am deeply sorry to disturb your erm… activities,' George said while he smirked. 'But Oliver and I had an appointment, like fifteen minutes ago,' he checked a watch that he didn't have. 'I accept your apology, Oliver,' he said when he saw that Oliver was going to say something. 'But can we go down to business?' He pointed to a little table, in a far corner.

Oliver stood up, sighing. 'We'll continue this conversation later, okay?' he said in that Scottish accent of his. He kissed me sweetly on my lips.

'Wait a second! What kind of appointment? What are you doing behind my back?' I looked from George to Oliver and back.

'Couldn't you just give me a pat on my shoulder?' Oliver hissed to George.

'You two were far too busy for a pat. I even did that, you know!' George said with an extra large smile on his face. 'Couples in love…'

Oliver grumbled. 'Kates, that's a surprise. And you'll find out soon enough.' He kissed me again, turned around and went with George to the farthest end of the Common Room.

I sighed loudly and went to Angelina and Alicia. They were also doing extremely strange. When I sat down, they both jumped a couple of metres in the air and their conversation stopped.

'What's going on?' I asked.

Alicia started to bite her nails. Angelina glanced at her and kicked her against the shin.

Angelina threw her black, long hair behind her shoulders and smiled sweetly at me. 'We were just discussing an assignment of Charms. Alicia here,' he put her arm around the shoulders of Alicia, who was slightly panicking, 'didn't understood the task, and that's why she's so desperately biting her nails.' She was still smiling at me and slapping Alicia's fingers out of her mouth.

'Are you hiding something for me?' I asked, looking at both of them. Angelina's dark face was a closed book, but Alicia was slightly sweating and she couldn't sit still.

Alicia's dark green eyes were flashing from me, to the little table where George and Oliver were whispering and back.

'Aaah, I've got it! You're also in the complot, aren't you?' I said, leaning back in my chair.

Alicia sighed loudly, smiled and nodded like a freak. Angelina sighed and gave Alicia a friendly slap against the head.

I bended forward. 'What is it?'

'Oooh, no! That's not going to work, Katie dear. We've sworn secrecy.' Angelina said while she shook her head, so that her hair was in front of her eyes.

'Hmm… In other words, Fred and George putted a spell on you both.'

Alicia nodded.

'Indeed, they have. Alicia can't speak when you are near her.'

I laughed so hard that the whole Common Room looked at me. 'The twins did an excellent job then! They must know you too well, Alicia. You tell everything to me!'

Alicia nodded miserably.

I giggled and went to bed. I threw a kiss at Oliver and he smiled at me, his eyes twinkling.

Once I was in bed, I had decided that I would talk to Cedric the next day. It had to happen, and the sooner, the better.


Okay, that's chapter ten. I am sorry for all the mistakes. I do have a beta, but she doesn't answer my e-mails.
