Chapter 3

It was her last year with her friends. That was the only thing she could think about as the opening feast passed, she heard people talking about the hat's song, but she had missed it. George was sitting next to her messing with her hair, and she didn't even hit his hand away.

"Katie? The feasts over." He looked at his friend worried.

"Oh thanks George." She got up and followed the Gryffindor's out of the great hall and to the tower.

She didn't even bother to sit with her friends; she just went straight up to her room crashing on her bed. When she rolled over onto her back she couldn't help but wondered what the point of it all was. She wanted to be done with school. She wanted this to be her last year.

"Katie?" Ang called from the doorway.

"Yea Ang?" She said not moving.

"Are you alright?" She asked walking over to Katie's bed and sitting down.

"Yea, just tired, been up sense 4am." She answered, it was true, but it was not the reason she was acting odd.

"Oh." Ang smiled. "So you think you'll give George another go?"

"I don't know." She answered honestly.

"How's Wood?"

"Dating Sara Waters."

"Are you serious?" Ang looked shocked and annoyed by the news.

"I am." She smiled. "He told me last night."

"Wow."

"He says she's changed, and I am going to believe him." She sighed. "People change, but I have the feeling she is going to try to turn him against me."

"How so?"

"Well…" She looked at her feet. "He went off on me about how I get whatever guy I want, and its' hard for other girls, and I should be nice about it."

"Katie, you've never been mean about anything like that."

"But Ang, you and Ali are in the same boat as me." She smirked.

"Well yes." She laughed. "Come on. Everyone is really worried about you."

"Honestly Ang I just want to go to sleep." She smiled. "It's been a long day."

"Ok." She smiled. "Oh I forgot to ask how you did on your O.W.L.S."

"Good." Katie answered.

"Well I'm going back down." Ang smiled and hugged her friend.

"Thanks Ang." Katie sighed and shut her drapes as Ang left. "Bloody hell." She muttered before falling asleep.

The next morning proved to be, well interesting. Katie was to take Poisons, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes, Transformation, and Charms.

She had double potions first.

"Miss Bell." Snape glared at her as she sat down. "I am surprised to see a Gryffindor even made it through to this class."

"Well I believe an Outstanding O.W.L.S. is what got me here." She answered looking him the eye. The class was all Slytherin's, and Katie.

"5 points from Gryffindor for being a smart mouth." He smiled and turned to the front of the class. Katie looked up and noticed that she was sitting next too Devon Alexander, a Slytherin, he seemed to be a major Flint fan, which meant that he was probably going to give her hell.

"Damn Bell." Devon smiled. "You look all lonely here."

Katie glared at him and started working on the emotions potion. She had finished everything but adding her emotion, she thought of Flint, and figured she could try passion, but that didn't make sense.

"Miss Bell." Snape stopped at her potion and looked down. "Add an emotion, and I'll let Devon try it.

Katie nodded, muttered the spell and sent an emotion into it. She laughed when it turned a red, with a dot of blue.

"Interesting." Snape looked at the potion with a puzzled look. "Ms. Bell try Devon's, and Devon try Ms. Bell's."

Katie sighed and took a bit of Devon's potion and took a sip. She looked over at him with a shocked expression; she felt pain, lonely, and helpless. As he took hers he was overcome by such a mix of emotions, it sent him into tears, while smiling, and to top it off he started to yell at Snape.

"BLOODY HELL THIS IS NOT FAIR, THIS WHOLE SITUATION, I KNOW ITS NOT YOUR FAULT, BUT MAN YOU COULD SHOW SOME RESPECT TO PEOPLE ONCE IN AWHILE." He then slumped and put his head on the desk. Katie, who was crying, looked up at Snape.

"Full marks Bell." He looked shocked at her. "Take this, both of you." He handed them each a small vile. "You'll both regain composer. And Mr. Alexander, I expect you too come speak to me after class."

He nodded and Katie and Devon just looked at each other with somewhat of knowing eyes. "I'm sorry." She muttered with a weak smile. He nodded, and class ended.

Lunch was just as odd as everything else. Katie was sitting next to Fred; no one else was in sight.

"Fred?" Katie looked over at him. "Where is everyone?"

"Um." He shrugged and took a sip of his pumpkin juice.

"Oh." Katie sighed playing with her salad.

"Katie what happened to you this summer?" He asked looking over at her.

"What are you talking about?"

"Your different."

"I spent every day training, I guess I just got wrapped up into it and I'm not really back into the social school mood." She answered.

Fred smiled and hugged her. "Ah Kates."

Katie rolled her eyes and sighed. "Off too another boring class."

"See you Kates." He smiled.

Katie sighed and the rest of the week went without event.
