Sunday night, Common Room. Scared for my life.

Okay so I'm not scared for my life. But I think I might be scarred for life. I mean, you would be too if you just walked in on one of your best friends and an evil Aussie doing a little snogging in the closet! Merlin, that was disgusting and I haven't told anyone yet. So they're all just kind of chilling and wanting to know what's going on. But I haven't said anything since the "incident".

Back to the Closet thing.

Okay, so I'm walking back from dinner. Fred left early to go to the bathroom and Madison said that she had to go check something so none of us had any reason to be suspicious, right? Well, except for whatever Madison was checking on… but that could be a whole other story….

"Crap, guys, I left my Charms homework in Transfiguration. I'll meet up with you later," I said to Angelina, George, Alicia, Lee, Daniel, and Abigail.

They all waved… well except for Daniel who made a big scene about me leaving and begged me not to go because there will be "danger in your future" as he put it. I laughed and ignored him just as I do the twins.

So I picked up my bag and walked down to the Transfiguration corridor. It was really quiet and creepy. And there were random door slams. Making it even creepier.

So I ran into the Transfiguration classroom, accidentally walking in on a snogging couple. Gross! I mean, who would do that in McGonagal's classroom! Really!

So as they were doing that, I snuck behind them and ran to my seat to grab my stuff. I don't even think they knew I was there. How sad.

Anyway I walked out and I heard some noise coming from the closet. But I didn't think anything of it with that whole "who'd go snogging in McGonagal's class?" thing still fresh in my mind. So, I walked over thinking, you know Peeves made a mop fall over and I was curious to get in on the prank.

I walked over to the door and opened it. Inside was a red-head hereby known as Fred the Traitor Weasley… or just Fred and a evil little demon Australian known as Madison the annoying… or just Madison.

"Katie! What are you doing here?" Fred the Traitor Weasley questioned.

"I- I thought- wait! What happened to 'I have to go to the bathroom guys'?" I asked in an annoying voice that sounded nothing like Fred at all. But that wasn't my intention anyway.

"Haven't you ever head of privacy?" snapped Madison the annoying.

I wanted to say not in a broom closet… but then again I've been told that too many times. "Nah, it's not in my vocabulary," I said with an evil grin. I'm just skilled enough to be outraged, evil, scared, confused, and still standing all at once.

Fred rolled his eyes and Madison gave me the look of… evil. I backed away. I wasn't threatened because I know I could take her. But I was shocked that she would even attempt that look. It made her face look all screwy.

"Uh, Katie can we talk about this later?" Fred asked with a hopeful look in his eye. "Oh and don't mention this to the other guys." He grinned. Gah, like I'm actually going to go with that. I mean, he backed out of hanging out with us to go and snog Madison the annoying. Oy.

"Well, we can talk about this alter but I'm going to tell the others about it," I tried to grin but… I couldn't because, like I said before, I was outraged, evil, scared, confused, still standing and running all at once.

"KATIE BELL GET YOUR BLOODY ARSE BACK OVER HERE!" Fred shouted.

I laughed like a mad woman and sprinted up four flights of stairs. Thank God for Quidditch or else I don't think I could have made it. For once I am actually glad Wood runs us into the ground.

Never thought I'd say that again. Again, you ask? Well, there was this time in second year when I was picking up my books that I dropped in the hall and some thug Slytherin person tapped my head, pushing me over. I kicked him in the shin and ran like hell.

He attempted to chase me but I splintered his shinbone thing. Yeah, I was a strong little twelve year old.

Whoa I went into flashback mode while in flashback mode. Is that legal?

Anyway, and here I am now. Completely scarred for life and I have no idea what I should do.

Lee's giving me a really worried look right now as I sat on the couch. And Alicia and George are just playing Exploding Snap so I don't think that they realize they their friend is officially scarred for life. Abigail and Daniel (who I bet didn't talk a lot while in school) were talking and sitting pretty darn close. Whoa, Abigail's actually saying more then four words like she normally does. I bet Daniel's rubbing off on her. It's good though. That girl needed a little more adventure in her life.

"Katie, what's up?" Lee asked, sitting next to me on the couch.

I shook violently. No, I wasn't cold. Scared. Scared and scarred. This can't be good for a person's mental brain thing. I mean, really. I think I might die. Well, maybe just get a cold because of it.

"Scared. Nothing. Creepier. Then. That." I managed to mutter. Ha, this will be good. I don't think Lee's ever looked this concerned for me. Except for when I had the alien in my head. Speaking of which, hasn't appeared any time recently.

What do you mean I haven't come recently?

I've got to stop talking so soon.

Well, I've been busy. Planning a wedding is nothing easy, you know!

Really? I never would have guessed!

Don't mock the bride to be!

Are you still considered a bride if you're an alien?

Yes I'm still considered a bride even if I'm an alien!

No need to get touchy!

Touchy? TOUCHY! Me? Never!

I think someone's getting a little irritated.

I need to go make an extra arm for the wedding dress. The tailor got it all wrong!

Adios then Ms. Alien!

Whoa, I finally got the cunning and tricky side down. She has taught me well. Oh the joys of aliens. Even if the aliens are not all that fun to have in your head. I mean, I was just distracted from Lee for quite a while and I think he might be getting a little annoyed. But you never know with Lee…

"Katie?" I felt a hand wave in front of my face.

"What's wrong?" came Daniel's voice.

"She's zoning."

I've got to stop zoning.

"Oh, I can stop that! Accio water!"

Spash!

I'm going to kill Daniel.

With the attempt to try to get me to stop zoning out, the genius decided to throw water on me. So what does he do? He summons a little cup of water and splashes it on my head. Just great. Now I'm scarred and wet. Gah. Today is not fun.

Crap.

I have a potions essay due tomorrow. And I've got nothing done for it. That kind of puts a damper on this damper making it super damp. Gah.

Monday morning, 4:30

Guess who just finished her Potions essay! Yeah! Me! Good job. And now you get a cookie for the irritated little Katie. It took me seven hours to write this essay. But for the first four I kept getting weird glances from Fred, concerned ones from Lee and daggers from Madison. Oh, I should just throw her to the giant squid the stupid head.

I grabbed my bag from off the table and slung it onto my back. I walked up to the Girls Dorm and went to walk past Courtney's dresser but the bloody girl left the stupid thing open and my bag got caught. But stupid me didn't realize it and I kept walking and the bloody drawer fell out of the drawer hole and scraped against my leg. It crashed to the ground and Madison sprung out of her bed.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT?" she shouted, removing the eye covery thing from her face.

Crap. That drawer hurts like hell.

"Stupid drawer."

"Why's my underwear all over the place!"

"Where's the fire?"

"Furniture is trying to kill me."

Well it is. I mean, the drawer, the constant doors I walk into, see it's all trying to kill me in an inconspicuous way. It could have decapitated my leg! It could have. And it would have been horrible because the newly decapitated leg would be under Madison's bed (that was magically added once she got here by the way) because it would have rolled all the way under there and I would be hobbling over here! It's horrible!

"KATIE! WHAT DID YOU DO NOW?" Courtney yelled irritably. I don't like her. Gah.

"It's not my fault the furniture tried to kill me!" I shouted. Man, I'm tired. I hate potions. And I hate essays. And I hate potions essays that last until four thirty and deprive me from sleep. Speaking of which, I'm only going to get two hours of tonight. Gah.

"What happened to your leg?" Leanne asked, standing up and looking at the back of my leg.

Merlin. The bloody drawer sliced my leg! It's all bloody and gross and not normal leg behavior! That's annoying.

"Merlin, I hate furniture. Can you fix it Debbie?" I asked with a sigh. I really want my sleep.

Debbie lazily sat up in her bed and flicked her wand. My leg went back to normal but Madison's drawer was covered in blood. I hate blood. Why can't we be filled with… water? I mean, it dries and it doesn't stain!

"KATHERINE! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CLOTHES!" Madison yelled. I flinched. She did not just use my full name.

"She just called you Katherine, Katie!" Leanne squealed. She knows what happens when people call me Katherine.

Once back in first year she said that because that's what the sorting hat called me and she was like "hey Katherine, you want to sit over here?" I glared at her and punched her in the nose. Yeah, I was a vicious little eleven year old but I've learned well from Kevin. Too bad the little ones won't be able to learn from him. Aha, I've got the cool special older brother.

"You did not just call me Kathe- Kather- My full name," I growled. Okay, so it's four forty five in the morning and she used my full name (which I can hardly say myself) and I'm getting a little on the mad side if you can't tell already.

"So what if I did?" she said, getting out of bed and putting her hands on her hips. She started at me with her purple eyes. They're really creepy. It looks like there's something in them that's petrifying you. But I don't think there is. It just seems like that.

I've got to stop throwing things at people. Of course it was just a pillow but still. It was the first thing I could reach. Imagine if that were a whiskey bottle. Not that we'd have a whiskey bottle up here in the girls dorm, but I'm just saying. Like, what if I was in some random teacher's office and they had a whiskey bottle… okay, you know what. I'm going to stop there and change my example. What if it was a shoe? I mean, I could give her a concussion. I mean I am a chaser you know.

Madison fell back on the bed. Maybe now I can sleep because she shut up.

I lied.

"MERLIN!"

"MADISON DON'T!"

"HOLY WANDS!"

"AAAIII!"

That last one would have been me dodging the light that Madison attempted to throw at me, along with a pair of scissors, a hair drier and some clips.

I dove under the bed where I found a shoe with a nice heal on it and chucked it across the room. I heard it land with a thud after it smacked into the wall. Whoops. I bet it left a hole into the dormitory next to ours. Damn. It's the guys. But it's the fourth year guys. That's not fair.

"What the bloody hell is that?" came the groggily voice of Cormac McLaggen.

"Katie! You shot that through the wall!" Leanne squealed. I have no idea how the others haven't woken up with all the noise we're making.

Whoa. That's kind of… bizarre. I mean, who would have thought that a shoe could have popped through a wall in Hogwarts… Oh what wands do when you say a little incantation out of habbit.

"Katie? Is that you?"

Gah, it's Andrew. I don't want to deal with him. This is not fun. I mean I could be sleeping.

Madison tried to chuck another shoe at me but it whizzed past my ear just as it sounded like a heard of elephants were running through the boys hall next door.

"What's going on down here?" I recognized that as Percy's voice and in the background Fred and George mimicking him.

"What's going on down here?" they mocked. "Ow!"

I think Percy hit them. Ha, Percy hitting someone. That's a funny sight. He's such a wimp.

"Why's there a hole in the wall?" Lee asked, peeking through. Hey! It's Lee!

"Katie went crazy and through a shoe at the wall!" Debbie said excitedly, bouncing up and down. Wow, even at 5 in the morning she's hyper. Wow. I need sleep. Really badly.

"I demand you fix this at once!" Percy shouted, pointing to the hole in the wall then at me! I didn't do it on purpose!

"I didn't do it on purpose!" I shouted back. He gave me the evil eye, crossed his arms, and started tapping his foot. Merlin, he could be just like his mother sometimes.

"Reparo," I mumbled in an annoyed tone.

"Better," he said stiffly through the wall. "Now get to bed."

We all managed to try to calm down but Madison through a book at me. So I chucked a shoe at her then climbed under my covers.

Ah, Bliss. Nice quiet sleepy bliss.

Tap. Tap tap tap.

Oh no.

Rat-a-tat-tat.

I hate owls.

Tap. Tap.

How the hell is that tapping getting more demanding?

Tap. TAP!

I jump out of bed and walk grumpily over to the window because obviously no one else is going to open the damn thing for the damn hey! It's Kevin's bird!

I give the thing a treat and take the letter off of its leg and it goes over to Madison's bed and lands on her head. Good bird.

Katie,

Guess what? I'm coming to visit again. Merlin, I just remembered what happened last time he decided to come see me. Except this time I'm bringing someone. Oh dear. It's a surprise though, so don't tell anyone! Because so many people around here care right Kevin? Because I don't want anyone to know. Wow. But I'm coming up next weekend. Isn't that when the house party is? I'm planning on crashing that house party. How'd he know about that? I have my sources within Hogwarts so I know if you've been doing anything. That just screams creepy to me! So, I'll see you Saturday afternoon. Wow, he's coming early. I've got some stuff to do Saturday morning. Bye!

Lurve the awesomest brother in the world!

Kevin

He's so full of himself sometimes. Okay, all the time. But still. He's coming here and he's bringing someone. This should be interesting. I just hope it's not mum. That'd be scary.

Are you kidding me?

It's five thirty in the morning. I have to be up in an hour! And I can't sleep. This is what people do to me. They make me anti-sleep and I bet a billion galleons that they'll laugh about it tomorrow. They will. You know they will because that's just the kind of love my friends and me share. It's the kind of love where they laugh at me, for being me. Oh fun.

Six

Now I'm in the Common Room because I can't get back to sleep. The fire is still roaring. Do the house elves ever put it out? I mean our whole castle could burn down because it's all rocky and flammable. Are rocks flammable? I'll have to ask someone. I mean, I know they get all hot. Like if they're in the sun and you decide to go "HEY LOOK! A HOT ROCK!" and you touch it ya know it'll burn you. Trust me on that one.

I think it's staring at me.

Would you like to know what?

The lion head that they have hanging over the fire, that's what. It's giving me the look that says 'if I wasn't beheaded then I would swoop down and eat you because I'm a lion. Roar!' I just kind of looked at it like 'Aha, lions can't swoop so you lose, sucka!'

I love making fun of the mascots in my house. But now it's giving me this dirty look like, 'Well maybe I can swoop!' Merlin, I think I'm going insane. I'm having a conversation with a lion inside my head. A headless lion nonetheless!

"Katie? What are you doing up?" came the voice of none other then Daniel Austin, my awesome Aussie buddy.

"Couldn't sleep," I replied, glaring at the lion. I'm going to decapitate it more, one day because it's just mean.

"But… haven't you been up all night?" he asked, sitting next to me on the couch.

"Yeah, but I couldn't sleep. I mean, I'm exhausted and all but my brains like… buzz. You know, like a bumble bee!" I said with a laugh.

"Yeah, right," he said slowly, moving away to the far end of the couch. "So basically you've been up all night?"

"Damn potions. I mean yeah, All night," I said with a sigh. "Why are you down here so early?"

"Have you tried sleeping up in the guys room with Lee? He snores like a pig!" Daniel said. What a weird question!

"No, I haven't tried sleeping in the guys room and I kind of don't plan on it any time soon," I said giving him a weird look.

The color drained from his face when he realized what he said. "S-sorry. I… forget what I say sometimes."

I laughed at him.

"Thanks Katie, thanks," he said with a laugh. His stomach growled. "I'm hungry. Are you hungry?"

"I'm tired," I said. "But hungry too. Kitchens?"

"For sure!"

So Daniel and me walked to the portrait of the bowl of fruit. Who ever doesn't know that this is the kitchens must be highly… not… doesn't pay attention. It's a bowl of fruit for Merlin's sake!

"So do you want to tickle the pear? Or should I?" I asked, staring blankly at the pear.

"What?"

I think I confused him.

"To get in, you tickle the pear!" I said with a grin. Now that I think about it, it does sound kind of funny. Aha, tickle the pear. Aha. Yeah, okay.

"This school is weirder then I thought," Daniel replied, giving me a confused look. Oh how fun it is to confuse the exchange kids. YAY CONFUSION!

"So do you want to tickle the pear? Or should I?" I asked again. He needs to give me an answer some time doesn't he?

"You can tickle it. Go crazy," he said with a grin. Oh dear. I think someone's been hanging around with the twins for a little too long. But he's Lee's exchange student! Not the twins. Gah. Oh well.

I reached up and tickled the pear. It giggled and turned into a green doorknob. This mad Daniel laugh. I guess his school just isn't as advanced as tickling as Hogwarts is. That's great!

We walked into the kitchens where we were bombarded by at least twenty house elves. They're so willing to serve. It's great. I mean, they run up to you like mini … people and go "What can I get you sir and madam?" "Would you like a biscuit?" "How about some pumpkin juice, Ms. Bell? Mr. Austin?" It's great. I love house elves.

"Well, what would you like?" I asked, looking at Daniel.

HEY! How come I'm showing around Lee's foreign exchange kid? This isn't right!

"Pancakes sounds really good. What do you think?"

"Pancakes it is then!"

After about a half hour of sitting in the kitchens with the food and the house elves, we decided that we'd better go get ready for school because breakfast started at like seven forty five or something and by the time we got back up to the Common Room it was already seven.

My Dorm

"Katie! Where have you been?" came Leanne's frantic voice. You know, sometimes I think her and Debbie switch personalities on me. I mean, it's either that or they're the same person… on the inside… OR! It could be that they separated their soul… and put it in some empty body shell that a dementor sucked. Yeah. Maybe they just act alike or something.

I looked up at her all tired and what not. "Sleep. Need sleep!" I complained.

"That doesn't answer my question, young lady!"

What the hell?

"I went to the kitchens with Daniel!"

"Oh, well okay then. Get ready for school!"

"What are you, my mum?"

"No but I could summon her up here in second!"

Apparently Leanne's not a morning person.

You think, deary?

I'm lucked she didn't attempt to chop off my head!

Yes, well. Oh dear. The phone.

You have a phone line in my head?

Well that's great. The aliens got it all high tech up there and all I've got is a lousy stupid quill… I don't even know where that is… but I've got it! YEAH QUILL!

What was that, deary?

Nothing, who called?

Wedding planner.

Oh. Wow. You're going all out for this one aren't you.

Well I am getting married you know.

Yeah but—

"KATIE! COME ON! GET READY!" Debbie called.

You'd better hurry dear, She sounds a little on the angry side.

Yeah…

Breakfast

"Pass the jam," Lee said to me at the breakfast table.

I picked up the closest jar of Strawberry jelly that was here.

"Katie, this is jelly."

"But the jams all the way over there," I wined. Yay wine.

"But I asked for the jam."

"Lee there's no difference."

"Yes there is! One is jelly like and the other is jam like!"

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is that … I wanted jam and not jelly!"

"What's with the making a big deal out of this?" I shouted. Oh dear. Lee and me are having a shouting match. About jelly slash jam. What's up with that?

"You couldn't move an extra foot to grab the jam!"

"I've been up all night doing that bloody potions project! Go cry me a river!"

So ha!

He didn't say anything; he just reached over and grabbed the jam himself. Good. Serves him right. Now, how about that river?

"Lee, mate, what's up?" George asked, clapping him on the back.

"Nothing," he replied dully, staring down at his plate.

"Lee, come on, talk," Fred said. I looked at him and glared. I'm still not over that Madison thing. Speak of the devil. She was right behind Fred. No surprise there… but still. I can't wait until she leaves.

"What's wrong with him?" Abigail asked when she and Alicia walked into the Great Hall.

"We don't know," Angelina said. It looks like she was glaring at Fred too. Does she know? Oh dear. I didn't tell anyone. I was too tired. Speaking of which, I still am. Last night was all a blur and what not.

"CRAP!" I yelled jumping up. Lee looked up in alarm. I glared at him. He glared back. Does this mean we're fighting?

"What's wrong, Katie?" Angelina asked, looking up with concern.

"I left my potions essay up in my room!" I complained. "I've got to go get it!"

I sprinted out of the Great Hall and up four flights of stairs before collapsing at the top of the flight. Man, that's a lot of stairs. One day I'm going to count all them but for now I need to get upstairs. I have Potions in ten minutes. Oy.

Once I got to the Common Room I collapsed on the couch. I have five minutes to grab my stuff and run all the way back down the stairs to the dungeons. This sucks. This sucks a lot.

"Katie? What are you doing? Don't you have classes?"

"Oliver?"

Since when does Oliver ask about my classes? This is weird. I bet he's being possessed by a freak stalker hippogriff. I might have to behead him! But then the hippogriff would die. That's kind of depressing. Hippogriff's are so nice. Unless you're mean to them, that is. But if not then they're so nice! And they eat all the dead rats. They're even better then cats! But who likes cats? Dogs are better. Anyway, off topic now.

"Yeah?"

"Don't you have classes or something?"

Whoa the questions were switched. How ironic.

"Bell, I'm in seventh year. I have like no classes left except Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, and Flying. I'm helping tutor the little ickle first years," Oliver said with a grin.

Whoa. What's with all the grinning?

"So you just sit in the Common Room all day?"

"No, I make up plays in the Captains room in the changing room."

Go figure.

"Wait, we have a Captains room?"

I'm clueless.

A/n: Eh, I don't know how this chapter was supposed to go. But there was supposed to be a fight and I made it with jelly and jam because I've had that conversation with people before. I really hope you liked it. Just remember, if you want anything to happen, throw me some ideas. And if you want new characters, let me know. Or stupid remarks. I'm all open for suggestions!
