Chapter Six: Alicia SPINNET

"Katie?" I had asked, the poor girlhad beencurled up in front of the fire, clinging to a picture of Oliver. "Kates, what wrong"

"I miss him so much Lishe,"

I whistled soothingly, "Oliver wouldn't want you to be miserable, come on lets go get the catologue and order our dresses for the yule ball" I had answered her.

"oh merlin!" Katie gasped. "i'm gonna have to go as someone else date!"

I love Kates to bits, I always have and I wouldn't have put half as much effort into my plan if I hadn't loved the kid so much, I'm closer to her than I am to my little sister, and me and Ellen are tight as. Katie had no idea though, no clue though of what I was doing for her. I had asked a friend of mine to say that he was going with her, and we explained it all to his date and she thought is was the cutest idea so she played along. Getting through Dumbledore was no problem either, he and professor McGonagall were so eager to see Oliver again that they were even ready to pay for his dress robes. George helped with effects, Oliver turned up in the common room ten minutes before the yule ball in a bunch of fireworks. Katie nearly fell down the stairs!

"Oliver!" she hadyelled and flew down the rest of the stairwell once she had recovered from the shock. Oliver welcomed her with open arms and even George had tears in his eyes as we watched on. Katie was in tears she was so happy to see him again.

I didn't see Katie again till after we got back that night. She was crying again, Oliver had told her that I had organized it all. She bear hugged me as soon as I got back to the common room.

"Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! That was the best Christmas present I have ever, ever gotten!"

"You were the bell of the ball Kates! You didn't even need Oliver!" George said.

We all sniggered,

"No pun intended, but can I have my date back now Bellikins?"

...Ilove George Weasley.
