I had made it to the end of the hallway when I felt two arms wrap tightly around my chest, and felt her hands clasp in front of me. I reached up and grabbed her arms. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she kept repeating until she had me laughing again. I leaned forward, and pulled her arms up around my neck and she wrapped her legs around my waist.

"That was quite the fall you took this morning, peanut."

"Yes it was, it was actually kind of fun, until I hit the ground."

"It was kind of like idiot gymnastics."

"Gymnastics? That's it no more Muggle Olympics for you." she laughed sliding off of me.

We walked down the hallway the rest of the way in silence. She really had hit the ground rather hard this morning and had scared the crap out of me in the process.

"So why exactly were you in my room again this morning?" I questioned

"Well Davies mentioned that Cedric had the pitch this morning, so I knew you would still be in bed." she shrugged "Come with me I left something in the shower."

She led me down a corridor I had never noticed before, and pushed back a tapestry saying the password. The room opened up into a huge and I do mean huge bathroom, the size of which I had never seen before. Huge bathtubs and showers, "Wow I should have been a Prefect." I said mouth open "Is the boys this nice?"

"Um, not really, the girls is much more fancy." she said looking for whatever she had left in here

I looked her over "How did you get into the boys?

"If you have the password you can get in anywhere," she stated

"So Cedric was with you?"

I saw something move overhead. "Another boy in the girls lavatory?" It was Myrtle, she was extra creepy, even for a ghost. "Wait till you see." and with that she disappeared down the toilet.

"What the hell was that?" I ask

Amy smiled as she returned from the shower, pajama top in hand "She likes to stalk me. Came to visit me in the shower this morning as a matter of fact."

I heard a loud moan come from one of the shower stalls, and Amy looked quickly at me. "Ok well did you get what you came in here for?" I questioned loudly and motioned for her to come over by me

She seemed to catch on and moved over to where I was standing "Yep that's it, we should head back, they'll be looking for us."

She walked over and pushed the tapestry back for effect, and then slowly walked back to me, so as not to make a sound.

This should be amusing if nothing else, let us see who has been getting it on in the shower. No sooner had that thought crossed my mind then I heard a familiar nasally voice ask, "Do you think they are gone?"

"Let's wait a few more minutes make sure they aren't still in the corridor." the male voice responded

I felt my heart sink into my stomach, I knew that voice, and when I looked at Amy I could tell she did to. She went to move for the shower stalls and I grabbed her wrist to stop her.

Pulling her out into the hallway.

She was on the verge of tears but I think anger was the most prevalent emotion on her face. "Let's go." I tried to pull her away but she wasn't moving.

"You want to go, go, but I want to have a word with my so called boyfriend."

I went to throw her over my shoulder. "Amy now is not the place."

"So help me god Wood, if you touch me it will be the last thing you do." she glared at me and I saw the anger flash through her eyes. I backed away, as she leaned against the wall and slid down into a sitting position.

"How would they have gotten in there?"

"Jem's a prefect." she stated eyes not leaving the tapestry

"So you think she gave it to her friend?" I ask, "Doesn't that mean she could get into a lot of trouble?"

She turned to look at me "I let you in there didn't I?"

"Yes but you are a prefect. Not the friend of."

She leaned her head back onto the wall. "Percy would have a field day with this. But no I have my own brand of justice for Jem."

I saw Alanis's head jut out from behind the tapestry. She saw us and quickly retreated, if it wasn't such a tense situation I would have thought she looked like a turtle, a fat turtle with a nose like a ski slope.

"You can come out I know who you are in there with." Amy said from her spot on the floor

She was completely calm, and I couldn't understand why. Alanis slowly emerged from behind the tapestry. "Your not going to get Jem in trouble are you?" she questioned

"If I were you, I would be worried more about yourself then Jem right now." Amy stated standing up, I quickly moved behind her to stop the fight that was bound to happen. "You have already broken at least, at least 20 school rules, that I can think of off the top of my head. So if I were you I would head directly back up to my common room, and not say a word of this to anyone."

Alanis scurried away, "By the way, tell Jem, if she doesn't want to be expelled she will take all of my rounds for the next umm, 3 months."

Alanis just nodded before running away.

"As for you Ryan, get out here right now." I saw him pulled the curtain back, and step out in front of us.

"Hey how's it going?" he asked, He was practically crawling in his own skin, he couldn't stand still, and he was the must amazing shade of red I've ever seen on a person.

"How's it going, you arrogant imbecile? How's it going, are you fucking demented?" she screamed at him "You are the most worthless piece of crap I have ever met in my entire life, do you realize that?" he opened his mouth to respond "Shut up you pompous ass, I can't believe I thought you were a nice person, you stupid, useless, dumbass. I have never been happier in my entire life that I didn't sleep with you."

Wait did she just say what I think she said, 'She didn't sleep with him?' hmm, interesting

"We are through, don't look at me, don't talk to me, and don't even acknowledge my existence." She turned to walk away I on the other hand couldn't move from my spot I was just dumbfounded by the whole conversation I had just witnessed.

She hit me in the arm to bring me back to reality; I started to walk away, as she spun around. "I hope you're happy, because I am the best thing that will ever have happened to you, and I would have been the best you ever had."

I was beaming inside, she was free of my obnoxious cousin, I would no longer have to put up with his meaningless shit that he said about her, and this was fabulous.

I glanced at Amy, who now had tears streaming down her face; she reached up and roughly wiped them away

I reached out to put my arm around her, and comfort her, but before I could touch her she moved out of my reach "Just don't" she looked at me

"Ok" was all I could muster

"Well I've had a wonderful day, I was spied on by a ghost, broke my ankle, embarrassed myself in front of your roommates, been embarrassed by my boyfriend, and ended up single again. All before noon." we had reached the entrance to the common room by the time she finished that sentence, I said the password

All eyes were on us, as we entered the room, Amy made her way through the maze of people, and left me standing in the middle of the room, I watched as she slowly made her way up the stairs and disappeared out of sight.

"Ouch" someone's hand had just collided with the back of my head "What was that for?" I asked

"What did you do?" I heard Emily demand

"I didn't do anything."

"Then why is my sister crying? Huh answer me that, what could have possibly happened that she would cry?" she asked glaring at me

I looked down at her petite frame "She's having some boy troubles?" I whispered quietly

Emily must not have taken the hint because she practically shouted "Boy troubles? What boy? I know nothing about said boy."

"Go find out for yourself," I said motioning towards the stairs that Amy had just ascended.

She moved towards the staircase, everyone still watching, yet pretending to be busy. "I blame you." she glared

"Emily be reasonable while you are talking to her."

She just huffed and made her way up the stairs. I was about to go up to my own dorm since I wasn't allowed in the girls where I should have been. When I heard another voice "Oliver Wood you get over here right now." said voice demanded

"What Megan?"

"March down to the Great Hall and find Teri immediately, and bring her back here, do you understand me?"

"Yes."

And so here I was walking down a deserted hallway, trying to piece together what I had done that was so wrong. Maybe it was because I was a member of the male species. My cousin has to be the biggest moron, how in the world could you possibly cheat on Amy with Alanis, that's just wrong. I shuddered at the thought. I couldn't even stand to be in the same room as her, let alone kiss her. I don't care how easy she gave it up.

I saw Ryan round the corner with 4 of his friends, I tried to duck into an empty classroom, but I had already been seen. "Oliver?" he asked

I tried to ignore him. "Oh so that is how it's going to be?" Jamie McClure, Katie Bell's boyfriend asked. "You're going to ignore your own cousin because he slept with your best friend and dumped her. What happened to the whole blood thing?"

"He didn't sleep with her." I said and I could feel the blood boiling in my veins. I clenched and unclenched my fists, and I could feel my teeth grinding.

Jamie laughed, and everyone but Ryan followed suit, Ryan kept his eyes set on the stone floor. "Did she tell you that?" Jamie asked through laughter.

I knew that if I laid a hand on Jamie there would be consequences, Ryan on the other hand was family, and he deserved it. So I did what any over hormonal 17-year-old boy would do. I grabbed my cousin and lifted him about half a meter off the ground holding him the shoulders. "You'd better set your friends straight, before I tell the whole school, that all those stories they hear about you, are a load of shit. And then when we go home, I'll tell Kevin, all the things you've been saying about his daughter. Your father would probably disown you rather then loose Kevin's friendship."

Jamie stared at me wide eyed. "You never slept with her?"

From his position on the wall Ryan muttered "No."

I let him down and shoved him back towards his friends, before pushing past them, when I heard him mutter something under his breath. "Keep it up Ryan, there's more where that came from." I said over my shoulder, as I continued down the hallway.

I made it to the great hall without any more interruptions. As I approached the Ravenclaw table I noticed that Teri was not there. But I noticed her friend Moira Blake sitting alone

"Hey Blake, can you point me in the direction of where Teri would be?"

She looked up from her homework, "Um, try by the lake. I think there where she said she was going."

"Thanks"

Off to the lake, this whole situation was messed up. The walk wasn't long but it was cold, and I was pissed, and my arms hurt from hanging Ryan midair.

I could see Teri sitting on the edge of the lake all by herself, propped up against the nearest tree. I looked around normally she was followed by about a half a dozen people, if not more.

"Anderson?" I yelled as I approached her.

She looked up and started gathering her stuff, I was now practically on top of her.

"I changed my mind, I don't like Anderson, Teri will be just fine." she laughed, I didn't "What's wrong."

"I was sent to come get you, you're needed in the Gryffindor tower, immediately." I extended my hand and helped her up.

"What did he do now?" she questioned "You know what I really don't care what he did, she needs to get rid of him, it's sad he treats her like dirt now, and she's taking it."

"Not anymore she's not." I said quietly, I didn't know how much I was supposed to tell her.

"You know?" she asked "She told you before me?"

I looked back at her and she had this hurt look on her face. "I was there when it happened."

It wasn't pretty, but Teri and I made our way back to the castle and convinced the fat lady to us both into the tower, of course with a little bit of prodding. Everyone once again was staring, I hated this. I plopped down on the stairs, as Teri ran up the stairs to Amy's dorm. And that's where I stayed for 3 hours.

The common room was empty people were out and about for the day, today was the first Hogsmede weekend, so most of the school had gone out, after noon.

"My ass hurts" I said out loud to no one in particular. I shifted in my spot, when I heard the door open upstairs and Megan, Teri, and Emily came slowly down the stairs. I stood up to greet them.

"She's very upset, but I think she's finished ranting." Teri said, Emily nodded, and dragged me over the couch.

Megan and Teri left the room, going where I'm not exactly sure. "I've never liked you, ya know that right."

"I was vaguely aware." I said laughing, knowing that she was half kidding

"But my sister does, she trusts you more then anyone else."

"Ok and?"

"She's lucky, that's all I wanted to say."

And then Emily did something strange. She hugged me, I wanted to feel her head and see if she was sick, I wanted her to tell me exactly what had just happened, I wanted her to know that if Amy had known she was into Ryan she wouldn't have dated him.

"I'll see you at dinner ok, I'm going to see if I can still make to for the outing."

"Good luck,"

I went back to my position on the stairs eventually she'd have to come out, and she may not want to talk to anyone but at least I'll hear her moving around.

I leaned my head up against the wall, and waited, and waited. I was looking over my play book which I had spread out on the floor at my feet, Madeline and her friend were sitting in front of the fireplace doing god knows what, but besides them I was the only person in the common room.

"I don't think that will work." Amy said as she leaned onto my shoulder and she sat down. "It would be better if you had Katie there, and one of the boys there," she continued pointing over my shoulder.

I could feel her breathing on my neck, and heard her sigh. "You ok?" I questioned

"I've been better, but I'll be fine."

I nodded, and she stared out the window. "What?"

"Take me somewhere."

"Where?"

"Anywhere, Take me flying."
