"Well that should teach you a lesson then shouldn't it." I said while she laid her head on shoulder.

"You wouldn't really take back my presents would you." I didn't answer her and just continued eating. "Screw you then, I'm going to talk to Teri." she got up and left the table, making her way over to where Teri had just entered

"What kind of stuff do you buy her, Mate," Mike asked while leaning his elbows on the table.

"This year it's a necklace she say in a store front, I've had it for like 6 months. I had her mother go and buy it for me while we out shopping one day."

"Jewelry?" Brian asked, "She's not even your girlfriend."

"It wasn't that expensive, and she really wanted it, so why not?" I shrugged

"You're making us all look bad," Brian added

"Isn't that Jem?" Sam asked pointing towards the entrance to the Great Hall "And her friend. Wood didn't you go out with her friend?"

"I was set up with Alanis yes." I replied hanging my head in shame. "Are they coming over here?"

"Wood?" I heard a nasally voice ask, "Have you moved or something because I've owled you like a million times this summer and didn't get a single response.

Imagine that, I thought to myself "I haven't been at home very often. I wasn't aware that you attended here Alanis."

"My parents felt it would be better for me to be in a school environment this year, instead of private training. I was here my first year, you know" she said while Jem eyed all of my friends, that girl would screw anything. And she wasn't even attractive, she's one of those coyote ugly girls, where you wake up after a one night stand and would rather chew your own arm off them risk waking her up.

I turned around on the bench, looking over to the Ravenclaw table, where Teri was making the must disgusting faces. "No I wasn't aware that you did go here, what house are you in?"

"Hufflepuff."

I continued to stare at Teri; she was just having the most fun possible with this situation. But Amy was nowhere in sight.

"Wood, I was thinking, maybe this weekend we could meet up in the Library, catch up on all the things we've missed in each others lives." She said looking at me hopefully

I felt someone place their hand on the back of my neck, Which caused me to tense up, something that I did not normally do. But there was something about this touch that made me jumpy. "No this weekend he will be busy." I heard Amy's voice say from behind me

"Oh yea and what will he be busy with?" Alanis put her hands on her unusually large hips "Because from where I'm standing their isn't much competition." she smiled at Jem, who was also smiling triumphantly as if they had won the argument.

"Alanis right?" Amy asked leaning against my back

"Yes" was the only answer she received.

"Do not try to match wits with me, you'll loose." She stated before reaching around and grabbing the parchment from in front of me. "And your right, there is no competition, because I won before the war had even started, now hurry back to your own table, and annoy the people that have to deal with you."

Alanis and Jem looked like they had been slapped in the face, they turned to go and collided not so gracefully with Teri's extended leg. Sometimes I was so grateful to have those two on my side. They were great allies, but I tremble for those who have them as enemies.

Teri was one of those people who I learned early on, would fight tooth and nail for her friends, but was as quite and demure as could be in every other situation. While Amy let her true feeling be known, and as long as you were nice you did not have to endure her wrath. They were also both extremely loyal, to each other, and to all the other friends that they have.

Alanis had made it approximately 3 feet before I heard her say, "Isn't that skirt a little short for school?"

And before anyone could stop her Amy announced to the whole dinning hall "Isn't that uniform a little tight for breathing?"

To the shock of everyone she just huffed and continued her way out of the hall. "I don't like her." Amy said without moving from behind me. "I remember her now, she was a huge pain in the ass when she went here, I didn't recognize her without her sidekick at the restaurant, but now I do."

"Yep, Hufflepuff sixth year, Jem's been here all along, as you all know, because she's tried to sleep with all of you. But Alanis"

"Has most definatly packed on the pounds, I mean she was never a thin person, But Damn." Amy finished Teri's thought

"And how do you lovely ladies know her?" Fred asked joining the conversation as he and the majority of my team had just witnessed the events.

"It's a very very long and complicated story." Teri said linking arms with Amy "Shall we go."

"We shall" Amy replied before bowing away from us

"Maybe we should set her up with Flint" I heard Teri say as they were walking away

Amy laughed, "Now they would have some beautiful babies"

I shuddered at the thought, those two naked, 'Stop it Wood' I scolded myself internally

From the entrance hall I heard "Wood don't forget six o'clock"

"Ok so that makes practice at 7, prepare for a long night" I said turning to the part of my team that was seated not to far from me. The twins, Spinnet and Potter. "Make sure to find Bell and Johnson, and let them know."

My roommates and I left the great hall and parted ways. I was on my way to History of Magic with Sam and Ben. The hallways were fairly deserted, as lunch was still ongoing. So we didn't have to push our way through.

"I've never seen Amy like that, it was kind of hot," Ben stated

"Like what?" I asked

Sam actually responded "Like truly pissed. I've seen her and Emily get into it. But she was hateful today. I agree with Ben it was hot."

"You two are deranged," I stated pushing open the door to the classroom. "She gets like that a lot, she doesn't like other girls."

"She has girl friends, Teri, Megan." Sam pointed out

"Well, I don't know." I said exasperated. I took my seat behind Ben and Sam and pulled out my playbook. My roommates seemed to have taken the hint, as they didn't bring Amy up again. I was really getting sick of talking about her with them.

I sat alone at my table as the class began to file in. Someone sat at the very last table behind me. I turned slightly in my chair to see who was behind me. Much to my delight it was Madeline Zim, Another class that I didn't need to pay attention.

I turned to face her she was buried in a book again. "You could sit next to me, I swear I don't bite."

Her head shot up so fast I'm surprised it didn't come off. "No that's ok." she replied before going back to her book

"Seriously Zim, come sit here I need all the help I can get." She smiled and moved forward

"Did you get yesterday's stuff?" she asked quietly

"Yes Ben gave it to me."

"Copy mine." she said pulling them from her bag

I laughed, "Ben's not that thorough." I heard a giggle escape her.

I started to copy her notes. "This class wouldn't be half bad, if someone else taught it. Someone that made it interesting."

Professor Binns choose this moment to glide into the room, so she didn't have a chance to respond.

The class went on as usual boring droning on type of way. And the rest of the day seemed to fly by from one class to another, the homework just piled on, at least I had awhile to do it. This is where I needed Amy to be the same year as myself; she was so good at this stuff, even if she waited till the last minute to get it done.

It was 5pm and I was currently sitting in the library working on a homework assignment, that if I started it tonight and worked for the next 2 weeks I probably wouldn't get right. Why did I take Arithmacy, it's not like it's a class you would use in the real world anyway, not like I'm going to sit at home the night before a really big game and figure out my opponents numbers so I can see what type of player they are. I sat back in my chair, and ran my hand through my hair.

Someone pulled out the chair across from me. I looked up and nearly fell off my chair, "Can I do something for you Emily."

"Yea I was wondering who that girl was that my sister was fighting with this morning?" She said staring me down; I noticed a table full of her friends watching us.

"Why are you going to encourage her?"

"No, I want a shot at her, Nobody talks to my family like that and gets away with It." she said folding her arms across her chest. "Wood would you please pay attention to me, your freaking Quidditch can wait." she continued snatching the parchment from in front of me. "Wow this is actually homework, I didn't realize you actually knew what that was."

I reached across and grabbed it shoving it into my bag along with the rest of my stuff. "Ok your done." I stated as I got up from the table

"Wood tell me her name," she demanded

I turned to look at her. "Try being nice next time." I turned my back on her and began to walk away "Besides your sister would have killed me."

I heard her huff and go back to her own table, to many whispers.

I hadn't made it 10 feet before someone grabbed my shoulder. And Teri fell into step beside me "So standing up to Emily, Wood that can be dangerous." she said laughing

"Since when do you call me Wood?" I asked "I could start calling you by your last name, how would you like that?"

"Be my guest." She smirked. I always liked Teri she was a good influence on Amy, she mellowed her out a little bit, but Amy seemed to have the adverse effect on Teri. Strange things happened when those two got together. "So how's your girlfriend?"

"My girlfriend?" I questioned

"Yes Alanis, how is she these days, she looks comfortable, what with all the weight she has put on."

"That's not funny."

"Oh on the contrary I find it highly amusing." she nudged me "Just think if your ever snowed in somewhere with her, she'd provide sustenance for weeks."

I couldn't help but smile. "She would feed a lot of people."

"But seriously, are you seeing anyone this year?"

"Why, Teri, are you interested?"

She looked taken aback, "Maybe a few years ago Wood, but I am in a happy committed relationship."

"Ahh yes, Hugh, how could I possibly forget." We had come upon a big group of people, and I got behind her to fit through the crowd.

"I was actually wondering, because there is this friend that I have that you would just be perfect for."

"Oh yea?"

"Yea, she's pretty, she's smart, she has a family that you would just love, and I think the two of you would get along really well." she finished as we had finally pushed through.

"Well then I will have to meet this mystery woman."

She turned to look at me "Actually you are, at 6 o'clock in your common room."

"So Amy's in on this also then?" I asked

She looked at me, with a look that could only read dumbass. "You really are dense, you do realize that."

"No. I'm not, I'm very confused at the moment."

"Your dream woman, IS Amy." she said hitting the is very hard "And someday the two of you will realize this."

"You think so do you?" I nudged her with my shoulder, Teri had been trying to get the two of us together for, well let us see, I've known her for maybe 8 years now, so probably 7 years. "You forgot one little thing."

"Oh yea? What's that?" she questioned

"She has a boyfriend."

She stopped dead in her tracks "So that's the only thing that is keeping you from asking her out, the fact that she's dating Ryan, are you kidding? I could easily get her to dump Ryan."

"No, no, no that's not all the factors, trust me." I said shaking my head furiously "It's very complicated."

"You two kill me," she threw her hands up in the air spinning around to face me "Tell me something. The kiss, did you feel anything? Anything at all? Because if you did, you have to act on it."

"How do you know about that?" I asked so that I didn't have to tell her the truth

"I know all when, will you realize that," she stated matter of factly "Now answer my question."

"We will talk later." I said before entering the Gryfindor common room, just as the portrait swung closed I heard Teri yell

"So not fair."

"What's not fair?" Amy asked from her spot on the floor in front of the fireplace. Where it seemed that she had spread out most of my homework., It was only 5:30 and everyone was mostly down at dinner, so the common room practically to empty, with the exception of Madeline and her friend Mia.

"I thought we were meeting at 6." I asked before sitting down on the couch behind her, and kicking her shoe

She didn't turn around but continued with her homework. "We are. So leave me alone for the next 30 minutes."

I pulled out some work, I could have done my homework, but I was in the mood for training, so that's what I was studying. I had to get this team into tiptop shape for the first game. For a while this is how we sat, her doing homework, me pretending to, it was an interesting evening to say the least.

I glanced up at the clock and noticed it was 6. "Did you eat anything?"

"Not a whole lot, but I'm not really hungry, I kind of lost my appetite." she said coming to sit on the couch next to me.

"Why what happened?"

She laid her head back on the couch, and stared at the ceiling. "I need you to do me a favor?"

"Anything." I could see her fighting back the tears "You know that."

"Well I heard a rumor today, that my so called boyfriend has another girlfriend on the side." She said not even bothering to wipe the tears away

I put my arm around her and pulled her into me. "So you want me to talk to him?"

"I want you to find out," she said leaning against my chest "Because of it's true he's gone."

My heart skipped a beat when she said that. Ryan would be gone, I get my best friend back all to myself

"Do you think it's true?" I ask playing with her hair

"I have a feeling." She stood up from the couch "I'm going to bed, my head hurts from all the crying."

I stood up and gave her a huge hug. "You deserve a guy that is not going to make you cry."

"You find me one," she said before moving up the stairs.

"I think I know just the guy." I say out loud to myself. "And now for practice."

And with that I was on my way to the pitch for a very long night of Quidditch.
