I don't own anything to do with Harry Potter
CHAPTER 11
I woke again in Oliver's arms as he had me folded into him. I smiled as I lay there enjoying the warmth. But nature called and softly I eased out of his arms not waking him. As I came to the door I looked at Abby and Sirius asleep on the couch; holding onto each other. They looked so peaceful, yet they were fully dressed and ready to run if it was needed. I watched as Abby snuggled closer to Sirius and mummer into his chest. I could see that Sirius was smiling softly as he held her. I felt sorry for them now, they clearly loved each other and they couldn't be together. I sighed and tiptoed passed them to the bathroom. When I curled back into Oliver's arms I smiled when he tickled me.
"Morning." He said his eyes still closed.
"Good morning to you too." I said as I rolled over and faced him. I smiled as he kissed me sweetly. He looked at me with sleepy blood shot eyes and smiled. He was amazing. He smiled at me and kissed the top of my nose. I laughed as I tickled him.
"It'll be strange waking up without you here?" he said as he ran his hand down my waist. I knew what he meant we had only shared a bed for the last four nights but it felt so right.
"I know. We'll have to struggle though; Christmas isn't all that far away. You and Abby could come and have Christmas with us?" I said softly looking into his large chocolate eyes. I had never seen him smile so broad.
"I would love too. We can spend new years in Hogsmead and you can come to one of my match's. Pity its only September." He said smiling at me. His fingertips were tracing pictures on my curves. He rolled me over onto my back and reached into the bed side table drawer beside me.
"I bought you something else, don't worry I didn't buy it from any strange old woman." He said smiling as I looked at the small black jewellery box. I sighed as I opened the box and gasped as I saw the pendent of a glittering snitch and silver chain.
"Oliver, you shouldn't have, it's beautiful." I said running it through my fingers. He smiled at my reaction as I sat up facing him. He took it out of the box and fastened the clasp around my neck.
"When the girls at Hogwarts hear about how sweet you are to me, they'll kill me." I joked.
"Why?" he asked softly, I have to laugh at the way he had failed to notice how nearly every girl in the school had a soft spot for the Scottish Keeper. I leant forward and kissed him. He watched me from the bed as I got up and started to get ready to go back to school. I could feel his eyes on me as I repacked my trunk and posted an owl to my parents telling them I was safe. I didn't want to tell them about Dumas, they were already worried about he-who-shall-not-be-named and he wasn't even after me. If they knew that someone was actually out to get me they would worry too much.
"Do you really have to go back today?" he said as he came up behind me as I packed the trunk, his arms snaked around my waist and he spun me around to face him. I smiled, he really didn't want me to go, I really didn't want to leave him either.
"You know Dumas is still out there, we could ask Dumbledore to let you go back later when it's all sorted." He said as he smelt my hair.
"I think it would be best if Miss Bell went back to Dumbledore, he is the one that may be able to sort this whole thing out." A voice came from the door. Sirius. He didn't look half as creepy as he had in the papers; in fact he looked very well. I couldn't believe looking at him in his white shirt and black jeans that he had spent the last twelve years in the worst jail on earth. He was still thin, but I think by his build he has always been thin. I nodded at him and he came and sat at the desk away from the window.
"Katie, that woman didn't only ruin my life, she is responsible for the deaths of the Potter's, and poor Harry's scar as much as Voldemort. She will show you things that seem like the future, things you want to see, things you want to avoid. But she can't tell the future. If she can she uses it for her own good and not yours."
"How did you get away from her?" I asked curious as to how his story with Dumas ended.
"I went to Azakaban." Was his short terrifying answer, I feel Oliver hold on to me tighter. Sirius stood and left the room then as I heard Abby call us for breakfast.
"I won't let anything happen to you." I heard Oliver whisper as he kissed my neck.
I didn't eat much, I couldn't eat not after being told that the only way Sirius got away from Dumas was to go to jail. As I was being to move my things to the door Sirius came to me again.
"Katie, you know Harry Potter don't you? I was wondering if I could get you to give this to him." Sirius said as he handed me a small letter. I nodded and put it in my pocket.
"Thanks it will mean a lot to him. It mean's a lot to me." He said as he went back to the kitchen to Abby. I smiled as Oliver came back to my side. He looked sad as he floated my trunk behind him.
"Katie, its time to go." Abby called as I saw her kiss Sirius goodbye and then he vanished with a pop. I saw as she wiped a stray tear and she quickly tried to look happy.
"Where did he go?" I asked as we went into the street.
"I don't know, that's the way it has to be. It keeps him safe." She sighed as Oliver held my hand as we went to Muggle London. We hailed a taxi and went to the train station. Oliver and I went through the barrier together and Abby followed.
"Katie, it is important that you tell Dumbledore everything you have seen."
"Emm Abby, do you know anything about joint dreams?" I asked, I had to the memory of Oliver dying in my arms had been haunting me.
"Why?" she asked suspiciously looking from me to Oliver.
"Remember Grandma Wood? Well I, we shared the same dream of her living room, remember the black and white room? She insulted Katie then shot a blue light from her wand, and I." Oliver stopped and looked at me.
"And I died in Katie's arms. She had the exact same dream, what does it mean? Does it mean anything?" he asked looking at his hands.
"I don't know, but I seriously think that this could turn into a case for the department of Mysteries. I'll have to do some digging to find more about joint dreams. Katie can ask Dumbledore." Abby sighed. The Hogwarts express let out a loud blast of its horn to announce that it was about to leave. I hugged Abby goodbye and thanked her before turning to Oliver.
"Be careful at Puddlemere, okay. I'll see you at Halloween, there should be a Hogsmead weekend then." I said as he kissed me goodbye.
"You too be careful, write to me if Dumas does anything, I mean anything." He said holding me tight to him.
"Love you Bell."
"Love you Wood." I said kissing him passionately, I heard Alicia and Angelina giggle and clap and the Weasley twins pretend to gag but I didn't care, I just wanted the kiss to last forever. Unfortunately it had to and I climbed onto the train. I watched and waved at Oliver until he was out of sight. I turned around and saw the two chasers and two beaters giving me a sly look.
"Have a nice summer Katie?" Alicia laughed. I sighed and went to them and told them all that had happened to me during my summer.
"So, you got this really, incredibly expensive bracelet but its cursed or something and your being haunted by this strange spectre thingy. God girl." Angelina said looking at the wizard diamonds.
"Still, you and Oliver. That's one we saw coming since well forever." Alicia laughed as the twins looked disgusted.
"Hey did anyone hear who our new captain is?" Fred said trying to change the subject. With all that had happened since I went to see Oliver I had almost forgotten I was the new Gryffindor Captain and that I was to keep it quite because there was no Quidditch this year.
"I don't know. I heard there is something going on in the school this year, do any off you guys know what it is?" I said, I didn't like lying to them but MacGonagall had told me not to tell.
"Yeah, Percy was trying to get us to ask about it, apparently its top secret but we'll find out later at the feast. Merlin! I nearly killed Percy this summer. He is getting worse since he went to work in the ministry!" George said, I think he was glad to get away from the whole boy talk.
"Have any of you seen Harry?" I asked feeling the letter in my pocket.
"Yeah, he's two carriages down." Fred said as he tucked some fireworks in his bag. I shook my head and left the carriage. I was stopped half way down the carriage by Cedric Diggory.
"Hi Katie. You are looking great. Did you have a nice summer?" he asked softly. We had dated for a little while before the end of term but we had decided that it was best to be just friends. I had to admit that he was very good looking, what was it about Quidditch captains well except for Flint they were all good looking.
"Hi Cedric, yeah I had a pretty cool summer. I missed the world cup though. I went to Norway with my sister and her boyfriend."
"Oh yeah I remember you telling me you were doing that. I bet it was amazing though. I met Wood at the world cup, he was there with some blonde."
"that was his Aunt Abby. Norway was great but I felt like such a third wheel you know, Jenny kept asking about whether or not I had a boyfriend and who was the last guy I was seeing."
"Jenny, I met her didn't I, she's tall with black hair? I hope you told her that I was devilishly handsome." He said teasingly.
"Oh of course I told her you were just dreamy." I said matching his teasing tone. His laugh was great; I remembered why we always got along.
"Have you got a new captain yet, or am I talking to her?" he said. I nodded.
"Congratulations Kate." He said giving me a hug, I felt sort of uncomfortable but smiled at him.
"Yeah but I have to keep it quite, MacGonagall doesn't want anyone else to know. Did you get a letter about something going on at the school this year." I asked.
"Yeah I am glad Wood is gone, the letter would have probably killed him."
"It nearly did, when I showed him he nearly passed out." I sighed remembering the look on Oliver's face.
"Did you see a lot of Wood this summer?" Cedric asked looking at his hands.
"A little, we have started going out." I sighed playing with the silver snitch Oliver had given me.
"I always knew you and Wood would be good together. I hope you are happy together." I can't help but feel his heart wasn't in the statement. Boys!
"I am really sorry but I have to find Harry. I'll talk to you later, Okay?" I said as I squeezed past him.
"I'll see you later Katie." Cedric sighed as I ducked into the carriage where Harry was sitting.
"Hey Harry, can I talk to you for a moment in private?" I said, I saw Harry shrug at Ron Weasley but he came out into the hall with me. I took the letter from my pocket.
"I met an old friend of yours this week, he wanted me to give you this." I said handing Harry the envelope. He looked at it and his eyes widened.
"Where did you get this?" he said looking around to make sure no one was listening.
"I needed help this week and Sirius was helping me. He really is innocent isn't he?" Harry wasn't listening instead he was happily looking at the swirling letters on the paper.
"Thanks Katie. I owe you one." He said as he dashed back into the carriage holding the letter close.
