All About Loving You
A.N.: It's been a while, so please excuse me for that!
Chapter Five: Cuts, bruised and perfection
I love weekends. You get to sleep till whenever you felt like getting up and eat whenever you want.
It was a cold winter day and I was glad I didn't have to go outside.
An hour later I pushed open the portrait of the Fat Lady. What I saw next, ripped my heart into thousand pieces. Oliver Wood was making out with Melinda Trench. They both looked up. Oliver was looking at me, with guilt in his eyes. But Melinda's eyes were sparkling with pleasure. How could I've been so stupid to think that Oliver liked me?
I managed to smile at both of them and ran upstairs to my Dormitory. I threw myself on my bed and started sobbing. Angelina and Alicia came comforting me. They too had seen Oliver lick that slut.
'Oh, honey. It's alright. Oliver doesn't know what he's missing. It's his bloody fault.' Angelina said while rubbing my back.
'Yes, he knows very well that Melinda is after every popular guy, here at Hogwarts. I don't think that this "relationship" will last.' Alicia tried to comfort me. This wasn't really helping. I started to cry even harder.
'Oh dear. Maybe we could let him see what he's missing.' Angelina gave Alicia a nasty look. 'Let's do a make-over.'
Alicia pulled me up. 'Let's see, you need other clothes. These are way too big for you. You have an excellent body, Kates! Why don't you show it to him.' She waved her wand, and my jeans went two sizes smaller, so you could actually see the accents of my but and hips.
'And t-shirts are so unlady –like.' Angelina said while turning around me. She too waved her wand. My oversized t-shirt turned into a sexy blouse, just a bit too short so you could see my bellybutton.
'Girls, I haven't asked for this make-over. I want Oliver to love me the way I am!' I objected. This wasn't me.
'But he already loves you, honey! Our goal is that he comes over to you, grabs you and kisses you like hell. Now, we will also do your hair and make-up. Before you know it, Oliver Wood will worship the ground you walk on.' Alicia said with a maniacal smile on her face.
I took a deep breath and opened the doors of the Great Hall. Angelina and Alicia had stayed up all night to make me look even more beautiful (their own words!) then I already was. They had set up this whole plan to walk into the Great Hall when the whole school was having breakfast. So everybody would see the new Katie Bell.
I was wearing tight jeans, low on the waist. Alicia had borrowed me her pink blouse, so my boobs would be the first thing they all noticed. I had refused to wear high heels so they had given me a cool pair of sporting shoes that matched my jeans perfectly. My dark hair was pulled up in bon and I had make - up on, but very lightly.
Every single person on the Great Hall was looking at me. The male ones with their mouths open, the female ones with disbelief. I felt sweat running down my back. I tried to remember what Alicia said to me. Something like 'keep looking in front of you with the bitch look', or something like that.
I was glad when I finally reached my place at the Gryffindor table. Fred and George were staring at me, Lee Jordan was drooling and his pancake was falling out of his mouth.
'Morning, everybody. Can someone pass the milk, please?' I asked sweetly.
I got more then one can of milk in front of me.
This was our first trip to Hogsmade. I was glad I made it out of the Great Hall without anybody jumping on me.
Alicia and Angelina dragged me into the first fashion shop they could find and had promoted themselves into my personal stylist.
Two hours later we had left the shop with five bags filled with jeans and tops and sweaters.
I wasn't really comfortable wearing these clothes, but a girl must do what a girl must do. I had realised that night that I came in from the Quidditch pitch, that I love Oliver with all my heart, and I would do anything for him.
Alicia and Angelina were looking at some store when somebody grabbed me by the arm and pulled me in a dirty alley.
'Katherine Bell, are you dressing up just for me?' Flinch said while he tried to touch me. I hit him right in the face.
'That's wishful thinking, Flint. A troll would look too beautiful to deserve you. Now get off me!'
He threw me in the garbage and tried to get on top of me. I punched him and gave him my knee in his jewels. He moaned and fell off me, I hurried up and ran out of the alley, right in the arms of Oliver Wood.
'Katie? Everything alright? Where have you been? You look like you have been rolling over the ground.'
He was right, I had pieces of apple in my hair, chewing gum sticking on my but and dirt all over my coat. I saw Flinch come out of the alley and hid myself behind Oliver. He turned around and saw him.
I had never seen Oliver so angry before. Before I knew what was going on, he jumped on Flinch and gave him is right fist in his face. I heard Flinch's nose crack and blood was dripping out of it. Oliver gave him three kicks in the stomach and one hard one in his private parts. All this time I tried to calm Oliver down, but he was just so angry it had no use.
The fight had attracted lots of people. There were lots of people surrounding us three. I saw Melinda Trench stepping forward to get a better look. When she saw Oliver beating Flinch she yelled 'Go Ollie go!'.
'Snape's coming!' someone yelled.
I panicked. 'Oliver, come on! Snape's on his way!'
But he didn't hear me. I only saw one thing to do, I jumped on Oliver's back.
'Well, well.' Said a cold voice behind us. 'That'll be twenty points each from Gryffindor. And Miss Bell and Mister Wood, you both get detention. Get up, Marcus. I'll get you to the Hospital Wing.'
I jumped off Oliver's back and fell hard on my behind. I cursed.
'Watch you language, Bell.' Oliver said, pulling me back up.
'Nice shiner,' I said poking him between the ribs. His eye was swollen.
'It'll heal,' he said calmly. 'It's your fault he punched me in the face. If you hadn't jumped on my back.' He smiled suddenly, to my surprise. 'You've got some guts, Katie. Will you walk back to the castle with me? I think I'm also going to visit Madame Pomfrey. My back is killing me. You must weigh a ton!'
I slapped him on his arm. 'It was the only was to get your attention!' I crossed my arm with his and we started walking towards the castle. 'If you had just noticed me standing in between you two, or five seconds later I was poking you between the ribs and after that I even was shouting. But I guess you didn't hear that. Everybody was shouting.' I scratched my head.
'Ollie!'
We turned around and saw Melinda running towards us.
'Damn her, why can't she just leave me alone?' I heard Oliver mumble.
'Poor Ollie! Look at you!' she said with that tone of hers. 'A nasty black eye that takes away all of your sexiness!' She stroked gently Oliver's eye. He took several steps backwards. I saw that Oliver was doing the best he could not to lose his temper again.
'Let us go to the Hospital Wing this instant! What are the other girls going to say when they see you with me! I'm the most perfect girl in Hogwarts and I must be seen with the most perfect guy by my side! That black eye isn't really that perfect, you know.' She walked to Oliver and wanted to take his hand.
'I can walk perfectly by myself, thank you.' He said coldly. 'And Katie was keeping me company to the castle. If you don't mind,' he said, taking my hand and pulled me with him. Melinda stared at u with an open mouth.
When we entered the grounds I started to laugh.
'She's so mental!' I gasped. 'I'm the most perfect girl and I must be seen with the most perfect guy,' I copied, laughing even louder.
Oliver looked at me while I fell down, laughing like I've never laughed before. He was also smiling, but not as fanatically as me.
'You're a funny girl, Bell. I kind of like it.' He said while he pulled me up.
'Merlin, my stomach hurts.' It even made me laugh more.
'Let's go to the Hospital Wing,' he said, dragging me along. 'Maybe Madame Pomfrey will have something for your craziness.'
But when we got to the front door of Hogwarts, we were both laughing so maniacally we didn't even make it to the Hospital Wing.
