Hehehe reviews! I strive of reviews so send them in! mahahahahaha!

February 30, Monday, DADA

Holy. Fudge. Potions test at the end of the day. I think I'm going to die. Die a horrible and painful death…of confusing instructions and questions which are sure to fry my brain.

Well at least you have that very amusing howler to make you laugh.

FRED! Got out of here! You're interrupting my thoughts!

Why Kates, I didn't know you had thoughts! Besides I already interrupted you and good ol' Oliver in your little snogging session, what's a couple of thoughts?

FRED WEASLEY!

"Do you care to tell us why you fell out of your chair Mr. Weasley?" Professor Lupin asked.

"Er…" Fred said from the ground. So I pushed him off his chair, he's done so much worse. "Well, you see, dear Professor Lupin, it seems that someone placed a bit of Slipping Solution on my chair so it is natural-"

"Are you trying to sweet talk me, Mr. Weasley?" Professor Lupin asked with the slightest bit of a smile.

my god, that man is good. Fred can normally talk himself out of anything.

"No sir," and with that Fred clambered off the floor and back onto his seat.

Traitor

Oh, you'll get over yourself

.…I want my spot back

It's not your spot Fred!

So it's yours and Oliver's now?

Fred…

hehehehe

little demon twin…Anyway!

I almost died at breakfast. I was sitting next to Oliver with everybody else, eating my oatmeal when the owls came in. I got the usual mail but there was also a very red envelope among the nice, white, envelopes.

"Oh my god," Alicia said, starring at my mail pile, "You've got a Howler Katie!'

"Don't be ridiculous, I haven't done anything for a while. There's no way I'd get a-"

Then my eyes fell on that god damn thing. I just picked it up as it started to smoke, starring at it.

"I haven't done anything!" I yelled at it.

Boy, only I would yell at an envelope.

"You better open it," George advised.

"It'll explode on you," his twin added.

"I think I'd rather take the second," I said, still starring at it.

"Kat," Oliver said, "Starring at it isn't going to make it go away."

Damn it. I was hoping on that.

So I timidly opened the foul thing. And out came my mom's voice, a billion times amplified.

"KATHERINE ANN BELL! HOW DARE YOU GO AND SNOG SOME GUY! DO YOU EVEN KNOW THIS BOY AT ALL? HAVE I TAUGHT YOU NOTHING? IF I HEAR HE'S TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU, I WILL PERSONALY WALK UP THERE AND SMACK THE BOTH OF YOU!" by this time I had my head buried in Oliver's arm. My face was probably as red as a cherry. But then to my amazement it died down to add another message, "And tell that darling Oliver Wood I wish him luck on his N.E.W.T's, why can't you date a nice boy like that?"

And with that, it sindered up.

The whole Great Hall was staring at me of course, but they couldn't see my face because it was nestled in Oliver's chest.

"I can't believe she did that," I said in a muffled voice from Oliver's robes.

"It wasn't that bad," Oliver said, rubbing my back.

"Don't insult me."

He chuckled and then a sudden thought popped into my head.

"It was you!" I pointed at Fred, now bolt right in my spot.

"What?" Fred asked shocked. "What makes you think that?"

"Y-you wanted your spot!"

"Come on Kates, I wouldn't rat you out like that," he pointed out.

Oh yeah, he wouldn't. Not Fred. Or his equally devilish twin. Never the twins.

I sighed, "Yeah, I know, sorry."

See? I'm not all that bad.

FRED!

After potions, aka, end of classes

"How'd it go?" Oliver asked, sitting down on the edge of the couch.

I was currently laying face down on the couch, spread across the entire length, with my face in a square gold pillow.

I just let out a groan.

"That bad, hu?"

I lifted my head up out of the pillow to look at him, "Do you have any idea what potion will cure one of the Unforgivable Curses?"

He thought for a second, "Well, what potion would bring a person back from the dead?" I just looked at him, waiting for the answer, "There isn't."

I groaned again and sunk my head back into the pillow. Well, I got one wrong.

"Do you think I'll get points for writing my name down?" I asked into the pillow.

"What'd you say?"

I took my head out of the pillow, "Do you think I'll get points for writing my name?" I repeated.

"We are talking about Snape, right?"

I slapped my hand onto my forehead. "I hate that sniveling, greasy, disgusting, foul, long haired, evil, disgusting-"

"-you said that already-"

"Maniacal, maniac, sick, crazy, disgusting little man!"

Oliver chuckled, "Don't we all?"

I sat up, "He's out to get me."

"Well, you're mine and he can't have you," he said before he kissed me.

I swear, his kisses could melt glaciers.

"You guys should really find a closet or something."

If they weren't interrupted.

We broke apart as Alicia came over and sat on one of the armchairs.

I just starred at her.

"What?"

Was she serious?

" 'Lic!"

"What? The common room is a public place!"

"Well so is the locker room, but that didn't stop you and George!" I pointed out.

This got Oliver's attention, "You snogged George in the locker room?"

She went bright red.

"You snogged George in the locker room?" he repeated.

It's amazing how he can go from kissing, wonderful Oliver to I'm-your-captain-and-why-the-hell-were-you-kissing-my-beater? Oliver.

He turned back to me, "A stink bomb hu?"

I shrugged my shoulders guiltily, "You would've had their heads mounted on your wall if you found them!"

"That's why you jumped on my back?"

"Er…."

what the hell was I suppose to say? Did you want me to say 'Yes, Oliver that is exactly why I jumped on your back' or did you want something like 'it wasn't really me, it was a Slytherin who took a Polyjuice potion and they jumped on your back in attempt that you would break a bone from the fall' or even 'I only jumped on your back because #1: it was a dare and #2 because your so god damn cute'. Actually, I kinda like that last one. But I wasn't thinking that way at the time. Well, maybe really deep down but on the surface I was trying to save Alicia and George.

Oliver just looked at me while I tried to figure out an answer.

"Well," I said, deciding on one, "Yeah. And I know the locker room is part of the pitch-and that means it's like sacred grounds-but you can't kick them off the team for that because you kissed me after the match was over and that was on the pitch-and then you'd have to kick yourself off the team and then where would we be? We'd be captain less, and we'd only have two chasers, a beater and a seeker and-"

"Kat," Oliver interrupted, I think my face was turning blue, "Who said anything about me kicking anyone off the team?"

so I tend to over exaggerate at times.

"Err…well I just had a terribly hard double potions test," I made an excuse. Hey, that one's golden. "Your brain would be fried too," with that, I laid back down on the couch, on my side, facing out, and brought the pillow up to my face where it stayed.

"She's right though," I heard Alicia agree with me, "That test was hard."

I knew Oliver sent me a glance, I knew he did. "I can tell." he chuckled.

"I have a question, How many shamrocks do you put into that Felix lucky potion thingy, seven right?"

Oliver must've nodded because she gave a little whoop of joy.

"DAMN IT!" I screamed into the pillow.

"Get that one wrong too?" Oliver asked kindly.

I nodded, dunno if they saw it with the pillow and all.

I heard the portrait swing open and some one slowly walk in.

"She do bad too?" that was Angelina and I guess she was referring to me.

Oliver chuckled and said "Yeah."

I heard her throw her bag down and then she sat on my legs.

"OW!"

She didn't say anything, she just slapped my thigh, hard…and I managed to somehow kick her in the back.

"Kate!"

"I failed that test, I know I did…" I said, curling my legs so Angelina could sit.

"What?"

Oh yeah, I was talking into a pillow. I removed the pillow from my face, "I failed, I know I did. And if I didn't, Snape'll fail me any way."

"At least you get points for writing your name," George said as he and his twin came in.

"So you know you at least have two points," Fred said happily.

"Snape doesn't give out sympathy points," I said.

"True," Fred agreed.

Fred was now sitting on the arm of the couch next to Angelina and George was sitting in the arm chair next to Alicia's. But Oliver had moved to the ottoman and moved it next to where I was.

"So you use a beazor if you don't know an antidote, right?" George asked aloud.

Oliver nodded and I screamed into the pillow.

"What did you write?" Angelina asked.

"A beezan," I said meekly, putting the pillow under my head. "Next year, I'm giving up potions. I'll find a job that does not require potion's making if it kills me."

"Almost every job needs potions making," Alicia pointed out.

"Not Quidditch," Oliver said.

"Alls you need for Quidditch is enough common sense to duck when a bludger is coming," a voice that sounded like it would come from a prick.

Almost everyone groaned and I looked up behind me to see Percy standing behind the couch, his hands on the back. So I joined in the groaning. I was sure Oliver was going to say something about the Quidditch bit but he didn't, allowing Percy to go on. I ignored him for most of the time, pretending to be very interested in the fire that was crackling merrily.

"…So I heard your Howler this morning, Katie."

Oh, the prick was talking to me? Better pretend like I'm reeeeeeaaaaalllllllly interested.

"I think everyone did, Percy," I sighed. Do really need to relive it?

"I didn't know your mom would react like that," he said, trying to make it sound as though he was wiser beyond his years. "When I told her you were together with a boy-I thought she would be happy-"

I had started to drift off but my eyes snapped open at that last remark. "What?" was I hearing right? Not even Percy would do that.

"I owled your mom, saying you got together with a very decent boy, I didn't say it was Oliver because I thought she would be mad-"

Oh, but he would. And he did.

"PERCY! YOU IDOIT!" I was now standing up on the couch pulling his tie, "WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK TO OWL MY MOM! And if you told her it was Oliver, she wouldn't send me a HOWLER! She'd send me a nice little note saying how glad she is to know she taught me something worth knowing. And she KNOWS OLIVER! She KNOWS he's a great guy. YOUR STUPIDITY IS EVEN BEYOND UNDERSTANDING! I GOT A HOWLER BECAUSE OF YOU, PERCIVAL WEASLEY-" I hit a nerve there. His face got red at the use of his full name. Or was it because I was choking him because I was pulling on his tie so hard? I'd like to think the second. Makes me happy. "-I SHOULD-"

"Ok, that's enough, Kat."

I really need that slow mo machine. Because all of a sudden Oliver has me lifted up in the air, his arms wrapped around my waist, with my hands pinned to my side none the less. And then Angelina threw a silencing charm at me. So I was being held up in the air, my hands pinned to my side, with my mouth still screaming at Percy, but no words coming out.

"She just finished up a double potions test," Oliver explained to a stunned Percy, still holding me up.

"O-oh," Percy said rather shakily, loosing his tie, "I see," with that he walked away.

"I would do the same thing," Fred said, looking at me.

"Yeah," George agreed, "Mailing her mom was pretty low."

"HE'S A FLIPPING, GOD DAMN PRICK!" I screamed, or rather moved my mouth in a screaming fashion.

"So what should we do with her?" Angelina said, nodding in my direction.

"TAKE THE SILENCING CHARM OFF FOR STARTERS!" oh yeah, I still couldn't speak.

"I don't know," Oliver chuckled, still holding me up.

"I think she's trying to tell us something," George said, watching my mouth scream at him with no noise. He walked over to me, "What is it Katie? Is the barn on fire? Is Billy stuck in the well?"

Oh, he didn't. I kicked him in the ribs and he nearly collapsed to the floor.

"Katie!" that was Angelina

"YOU HEARD HIM! HE WAS TREATING ME-"

"Why would you kick him?" she rushed over to his side.

"-LIKE A MUGGLE DOG!"

"You're so immature!"

"ANGE!"

Except I was still only mouthing all this.

"Ok, Come on Kat," Oliver said, carrying me upstairs.

"WILL SOME ONE PLEASE TAKE OFF THIS GOD DAMN SILENCING CHARM?"

God damn charm.

He finally got me to my dorm and sat me down on the right bed and he sat across from me, "If I take the silencing charm off will you promise not to shout at me?"

I rolled my eyes and sighed, finally nodding.

"Good," he said rather upbeat for the moment and he finally took off the silencing charm.

"He's such a damn prick…"

Yup, first words out of my mouth.

Oliver chuckled, "Yeah, he is, isn't he?"

"Now, how do you understand potions and ask a question like that? Of course he is!"

We were the only ones in the dorm.

"Any thing else you'd like to scream?" he asked, putting a silencing charm on the door.

I smiled, "But of course," I got off the bed and started my ranting, pacing around the room, "I CAN'T BELIEVE HE OWLED MY MOM! I MEAN, HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY IT WAS YOU! BECAUSE IF HE DID, EVERYTHING WOULD ME PEACHES AND CREAM! There'd be no howlers! Just a little note congratulating me on a fine catch." Oliver stood up and walked over to me. "BUT NO! HE GOES COMPLETELY OVER BOARD AND TELLS HER EVERYTHING EXCEPT TO ONE THING THAT WOULD MAKE HER HAPPY AND CANCEL EVERYTHING ELSE OUT!" I grabbed a pillow and screamed into it.

Oliver took the pillow out of my hands once I was finished, "Better?"

I took a deep breath and smiled, "Actually, yeah. I do feel better."

He put his hands on my arms smiling, "Now, would I be that fine catch?"

"Well," I shrugged my shoulders smiling, "I have to say, you are better than Flint."

He chuckled before kissing me, "I would hope so," he kissed me again.

I laughed and wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him back as his hands crept down my back.

"What about Diggory?"

"I don't fraternize with the enemy."

He laughed and I felt his thumb run over my skin and over the slightly raised scar on my lower right back. It's not that big, little bit under an inch. He ran over it a few times, trying to figure what it is or where it came from.

"Bludger," I said, playing with the tail of his hair "Two years ago…I think."

"Mmmm, Ravenclaw?" he asked in-between kisses.

I shook my head, "Slytherin."

"Damn snakes…"

I let out a small laugh…which turned out to be a snort. I instantly clamped a hand over my mouth, my cheeks probably scarlet by then.

"Hey," he chuckled, "I need that."

Then he took my hand away from my mouth and kissed me again.

If Oliver keeps kissing, glaciers all over the world will melt and the world will be flooded. But who cares as long as it's me he's kissing?

March 1st, Tuesday, 4 pm

So in the past two hours I have been scared out of my mind, fainted, screamed and yelled and almost fainted again.

Right after classes I was sitting in the common room waiting for everybody else to come in. a few minutes later Oliver came in…with a huge gold hoop earring in his left ear.

"So, what do you think Kat?" he asked as I stood up.

I fainted, starring at the hideous thing on his ear.

"Kat? Kat, are you alright?"

I was laying on the couch with Oliver leaning over me. I could see everybody else to behind him.

"Am I alright?" I was coming back around…mad. What the hell was he thinking? "What the hell were you thinking?" I said standing up.

"Kat, what do you mea-?"

"I mean your hideous earring!" I screamed at him, "I swear I'm gonna rip it right out of you ear-"

So I gave it a little tug…and it came right off.

I thought I had seriously ripped it out so I started to faint. But Oliver caught me before I hit my head on the coffee table. I just starred at the thing in my hand to his ear…but it was fine, no blood, no cut…nothing.

"It was a clip on," Fred explained from the behind him.

"It was a dare," George said.

"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" I asked Oliver.

He just chuckled," never."

And he kissed me.

We have to go over a few rules: #1 if he ever gets an earring or tattoo…I will personally kill him. #2: if he ever gives me a heart attack I will personally kill him. #3: …I can't think of anything else but I'll probably wind up killing him personally.

Am I too harsh? He scared me out of my mind for crying out loud!

By the way…13 days 'till my birthday! The countdown has officially begun!

After practice

"So I really gave you a heart attack?" Oliver asked after an especially hard practice as we walked back up to the castle.

I think I went pale at the thought of him with that ugly thing.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"You walked into the common room with a pirate earring in your left ear!" I said, "Was I supposed to be happy about that?"

"Come on Kat," he said in a playful voice, slipping his arm around my waist, "You know you liked it."

"I hated it."

"No you didn't, you thought it made me irresistible-" he whispered in my ear.

"Hated it."

"You loved it."

"Hate."

"Love."

"Hate."

"Love."

"Hate," I said firmly, "even more than your ridiculous new plays."

"They're not ridiculous!" he protested, "they're great!"

"You want Alicia to do a flip in the air, off her broom, and still manage to get a point."

"…well maybe that one is a little over the top. Maybe," he admitted, "but the rest are gold."

"Like the one where Angelina and I do that twisty thinger-ma-bobber?" that came full with hand motions and all.

"Pfft, you guys can handle it," he said with a wave of his hand. "But did you think I'd go easier on you? You're still my chaser, and I'm still your Captain. And I'm not going to any easier on you in the air-"

I turned in front of him, "I wouldn't have it any other way," I said before I kissed him.

…but that practice was really hard and half of the new plays we'll never be able to do. But there is one that involves a chaser and two bludgers that could go wrong, but would be great if nothing bad happened.

By the way, I love how you all sent me suggestions for the black tie, so many great ideas and I considered everyone of them. But I think I'm going to go with the Ministry thing because that included both jealous people and awkward intros between families. And if you have an awkward intro, I'll be sure to fit it in somewhere…if it's good which from you guys I know it will be. But I already have one planned out for Katie's mom, so other than that…send 'em in!
