review, review, review!!!!!

"Shit, shit shit" I panted as a raced up to the castle, I shouldn't have done that, confronting the slytherins I'm not sure what made me so bold usually I would have just slammed past them but, oh god I just know I'm in for a rough ride especially from Malfoy, I cant believe the nerve I had to get up in his face like that. Its just, well it gets to me when they say that word

"mud blood"

I mean I am pure blooded but that word oh it just irritates me, the way they use it so lightly and so directly to offend.

I wrench open the castle door to be greeted by the familiar sent of Hogwarts cooking, no matter how many times I'm met with that general warm sweet smell, my tummy always grumbles in response. Sadly I speed through the hallway batting of greetings and attempts to draw me into conversation from various friends and acquaintances, one thing was on my mind right now and that was - shower. I just needed to get to the dormitory and out of these clothes and shower, to regain my anonymity from the slytherins once more.

As I dashed in through the portrait of the fat lady brushing off her offer to stand and her I deliver a new god awful screechy aria, I almost bumped slap bang into Hermione granger creating a whirlwind of parchment and books one of which I think read 'mastering the art of Newt techniques' pfft like she needed it.

"Sorry Hermione, didn't see you there" I dropped to the floor to help her scramble up her belongings.

"oh don't worry Katie, I should have been more aware, sometimes I'm just so, well you know caught up in things, I've been trying to get the boys up to date on their homework" she sputtered.

"ha, you not given up on those two yet?" I replied glancing over at the red and black haired boys engrossed in a chess match, doubt they even realise she's done their work for them.

"well you would think they would focus a little harder, instead of playing that ridiculously oafish game" she shot them both a filthy look, which went unnoticed though a slight blush appeared on the cheek of Ron.

As a secret fan of wizard chess i decided to end the conversation there.

"look erm, I've got to get out of these robes, if you see Alicia or Angelina tell them I'm up here would you? I missed them at dinner."

with that I sped up the girls stair case and dumped my broom on my bed. I then stripped off the robes and grabbed my towel from out of my trunk which I was yet to unpack properly, it was currently pushed against my bed with various clothing items spilling out of it, including a black bra and a thong, noticing this I quickly shoved them back in, I didn't want the world knowing what underwear Katie Bell wore.

Glancing around I saw as usual Alicia's corner of the dorm was immaculate completed by her bed sheet corner turned down in anticipation for its tired occupant, Angelina's side was much the same accept scattered all around were posters of various quid ditch players and teams, I suppose you could say she was the tomboy of the group. My own corner was well…a bombsite completed with mismatched photo frames with its occupants smiling and waving frantically with a mini me scowling as my melted ice-cream dribbled down my miniature hand, I loved that photo.

As I walked into the bath room I considered where my friends would be, I presumed Angelina was off somewhere daydreaming of quidditch and Oliver wood her long-term boyfriend. Alicia, well she was probably tucked up on a sofa with her latest beau, that girl never had a lack of offers. Thinking of this I pondered my own love life, there hadn't been anyone since Fred, and that had finished before the summer, me and Fred had always been close, and last school year those feelings had just taken on a natural progression but in the end the romance died and well the friendship thankfully was left. I didn't mind being single for the moment I'm not one of those girls who had to have a boyfriend to feel complete, I suppose if I was honest, it would be nice to have someone to share my time with but well there wasn't really anyone on the cards. I'm not even sure there was anyway I would remotely find attractive, maybe I wasn't over fred completely. Throughout this reminiscence I'd managed to shower and stepped out to be greeted by loosing the ability to almost breathe as my lungs choked with steam. I quickly pulled on a towel and wrapped another round my hair. I walked in the dorm to see that Alicia had graced the room with her presence she was sitting folding some newly clean clothes.

"You alright leash?" I mumbled as I padded over to my corner and pulled out my superman phi's.

"hmm? Oh yeah I'm fine, whets all this about you and a bunch of slytherins?" she whirled around looking worried.

"oh that, they decided to cut my little flight short, you know them the usual jibes, mud blood and all that" I said as I scrunched my hair with my towel.

"oh, you ok? wasn't there anyone else around? Seriously kates you should just ignore them there not a nice bunch. Actually I think you must have said something to piss them off though, they were pretty nasty when they came in at dinner grumbled something about a certain flying girl Gryffindor, obviously led by the self proclaimed prince himself malfoy" she spat the last name with distaste.

"don't worry about it, they just couldn't handle being told for once. And who does malfoy think he is anyway, he's a pathetic little shit, I cant see why everyone bows to him. He's the worst one you know, the rest just follow by example he unfortunately is the only one with an ounce of intelligence." with that I lobbed my towel across the room at Alicia, whom it whacked full in the face, I giggled at this as I ducked her rebound.

"why do I never see that coming?" she laughed.

"because your to slow haha!" I climbed into bed and snuggled under the covers.

"night leesh. Wake me up in the morning, you know what I'm like"

"hun its been 6 years of me being your personal alarm clock, why would that change in the 7th" she stated as she too climbed into her bed

"good point, night" I yawned as I pulled my curtains closed.

What Alicia didn't realise is, although I seemed fine, really I wasn't I was a bit shaky inside, looking into malfoys eyes during the confrontation id felt an unnerving feeling, and I couldn't quite put my finger on why.
