A/N: Okay, I don't own ANYTHING besides Alfie, Luke, Michelle and anyone else you don't recognize.
The characters are in the year that they're supposed to be in, so Oliver and Percy are two years older than the rest of the Quidditch team, sans Harry, of course.

Chapter Two

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you.
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you.

Ah, yes. Morning. Best time for Quidditch practices, in my opinion. I really don't know why my team gets all snappy at me for waking them up at five. I mean, two hours of practice, five 'til seven. It isn't that bad, is it? Do they want more practice time or what? I skipped up the stairs after putting the spell on it. I hate that staircase. Stupid slide.

"GIRLS!" Inside the fifth girl's dorm, I heard some groaning.

"Away, Oliver." Angie.

"You know what time it is?" I chirped happily.

"Too early. Go away!" Alicia. There was silence. More silence.

"…Uh, Katie, are you going to say anything?" More silence. "…Katie?"

"She's not here, Wood, go away!" Alicia yelled.

"Where is she, then?" Ooh, I was angry, now. No one ditches practice.

"I don't know, with Alfie?"

"WHAT?" I pushed the door open. "What do you mean, 'with Alfie?'" Angie pulled the covers up to her face.

"She said something about them really clicking together over the summer."

"Alfie's in the dorm still. He's alone, and he has a girlfriend named Michelle Spinnet, remember, Licia?" Alicia was silent for a few seconds.

"…Oh, yeah." I shook my head.

"All right, forget it, practice is cancelled. You guys have two more hours to sleep, if any of you need me, I'll be down by the pitch."

"Why would we need you?" Angelina's yell followed me down the stairs. I chuckled and exited the Common Room.

When I got to the Pitch, I saw a long wave of blonde hair bolting this way and that. Why is she wherever I go?

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you.
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you.

Damn that song. Stuck in my head, it is. I like talking like Yoda. Fun, it is."Katie!" I saw her stop and look down at me for a moment. I beckoned with my hand for her to come to me. She shook her head and kept flying. She wasn't even wearing the proper clothing. Raining, it was. Took off after her, I did.

"Katie, STOP!"

"Oliver, go away!" With one last burst of speed, I caught up to her.

"You'll get sick!"

"Oliver, please!" I then saw that she was crying. "Leave me alone!" She sped away from me. I followed her. Yeah, that's right, I followed her. Don't ask me why, I just did. Sure, she treated me like trash the last four years, but, hey, I still cared about her.

"Katie, stop!"

"What do you want?" she screamed over her shoulder. She turned around. "What do you want from me, Oliver?"

"I want to talk to you! I want you to tell me why you've been acting like this!"

"You know, Oliver, I know you do. You're the only one I ever told. Why do you keep asking me?"

"Because you keep shunning me, Katie! I don't know the real reason. I miss you, okay?" Her eyes suddenly turned from deep blue to purple. It kind of scared me, so I backed off a bit. She sent be a dirty look. The tears had stopped. Something changed about her that I couldn't quite place.

"I don't need your sympathy." And with that, she touched back to the ground. After about five minutes of hovering in mid-air, staring at Katie run back into the castle, I went into the boy's locker room to take a shower.

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you.
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you.

There goes that damn song again. I swear, when I get my hands on Charlie Weasley, I will -

"Mr. Wood, are you with us?" I looked up to see Professor Snape staring down at me.

"No. Sorry." He raised an eyebrow.

"Five points from Gryffindor for your hard of hearing, Wood. Which potion specializes with the Satyr horn?" Oh, that was easy. Katie had a wand that had both a Nymph hair and a Satyr horn. Interesting mix, I think.

"A Satyr is a mythological Greek animal that is supposedly accompainied by demons. With a Vond -"

"I did not ask for Mythology."

"Yes, yes, I'm getting there. With a Vondra potion, the Satyr horn causes it to turn into a shade of deep purple. The effec -"

"I did not ask for the colour either, Wood." Git.

"The effect of the Satyr horn on the Vondra potion causes the drinker to have a counter-part. Say if you were a cat, you would act like a dog. If you were normally a nice person, you would end up being mean."

"Finally, a correct answer. Ten points from Gryffindor for wasting my time with all your other nonsense." ...What? This guy needs to get sacked. Seriously. Hopefully this class will get better.

...WORST POTIONS CLASS. EVER. Snape gave us a four-foot essay on the Vondra potion... and he assigned it while looking at me, for some strange reason.Merlin, I lost twenty more points for Gryffindor for falling back on my chair! Come on, Flint did it about four times, Bletchley did it twice... I swear, I am so dancing on Snape's grave.

"Oliver! OLIVER!"

Keep walking, keep walking, keep walking... damn!

"Hullo, Penelope," I muttered.

"Hi! Have you seen Perce?"

"'Bout five minutes ago in Potions."

"Oh." A couple seconds of silence followed. "...D'you know where he is now?"

"No."

"Oh." She looked around thoughtfully as we walked. "So, what's going on between you and Cho?"

"We broke up."

"Oh." She looked at me. "Why?"

Don't get mad at her... don't get mad at her...

"Uh, we just... did..."

"Oh. Well, there's Percy! Bye, Oliver!"

"Yeah, bye." Really, Penelope is a great girl, but she doesn't know when to just... just... just 'shh'. The next thing I saw froze me in my tracks. Whoa. Whooooa. Whoooooooooooooa! Katie! Flint! Gross! My eyes! I just stood there with my mouth hanging open and eyes wide. Katie then broke away from Flint and looked at me as if I were an idiot. She grabbed Flint and pulled him away while smirking in my direction.

"Uh huh." I turned around and saw Diggory there with an amused expression on his face. "They did that to me, too."

"Huh?" I was still slightly stunned from what I just witnessed. Diggory gave a short laugh and shook his head, then grew serious.

"Something's wrong with her, Wood."

"Something's been wrong with her since her third year," I pointed out after I got the ability to talk back.

"Yeah, but it seems to have gotten worse, hasn't it?" I nodded. Diggory looked back to where the... er... disturbing scene took place. "Do something about it. I only knew her for about four months, but I miss the old Katie." And with that, the fifth year walked off, looking down at his herbology book.

Yeah, I miss the old Katie, too.

I walked down to the library to begin research on the Vondra potion when Luke, Alfie and Percy came with their mouths open.

"You saw them, huh?" I inquired with a small smile. It wasn't really a smile, it was more of a smirk. Luke babbled nonsense while Percy sunk into the chair beside me. He was a whole different person when it came to his best friends. With anyone besides me, Luke, Alfie and Penelope, he was this really, really crazy guy. Crazy in a good way. And he was fun.

"...What... the... fuck... happened... to... Katie..." he managed to say. I laughed softly. "What?" Percy looked at me as if I were insane. "Do you encourage this... this... this thing with Flint?"

"Oh, no, by all means, no! I just find it really funny that you said the 'F' word in the library with Madame Pince over there staring at you as if you flunked Ancient Runes." Percy craned his head around and mumbled an apology. I smiled at him.

"What did Penny want?"

"She wasn't in class today, so she needed a couple study notes," Percy answered. "Started on your research already?"

"Yeah, well, I have nothing better to do. At least here in the library, the chances of Flint and Katie coming in are at an extreme low." Alfie and Luke laughed. Percy opened up a book and flipped it to the Vondra potion. He scanned the page a bit, then stopped on one particular sentence.

"...Perce?"

"Sorry, gotta go." He took the book with him up to the front counter and checked it out. Luke and Alfie stared after him.

"Uh... hold on." They chased after him, leaving me alone in the library. A couple minutes later, Katie came into the library. She spotted me and left.

Something was wrong with her, and I needed to know what.

Okie doke, that's chapter two. The song there is Right Here Waiting For You by Monica and 112.

R/R!

Love, Anna
