The Life After
Chapter 1
The Last Day
I ,Katie Bell, am leaving Hogwarts in 24 hours! I am going to miss my friends that I had made over my Hogwarts years, though half of them had already left Hogwarts. Who I really miss are my friends from Quidditch. 6 of them had left and the only people left from the team were Ron and Harry(AN:Yes I know he gets kicked off but oh well He was still on the quidditch team though not for all seven years but..just deal!)!). I never paid much attention to Ron though he gave me a bleeding nose and then his twin brother Fred gave me a Blood Blisterpod. That was a Great Day! Note the Sarcasm. Ron can never ever replace the one and only Quidditch Nazi, Oliver Wood. I have had a crush on him since my second year, when I joined the Quidditch team. he never paid much attention to his team. If Angelina, my best friend and teammate, And Fred, also my best Friend and teammate, were snogging in the common room he wouldn't notice but if they were snogging on the Qudditch Pitch he would yell at them for not paying attention. I always found it amusing the way he yelled at them.
I had to laugh at Ron for at the ceremony, at that moment, he was drunk cause Draco Malfoy had spiked his pumpkin juice to embarass him. I went over to Draco and slaped him for I still cared for Ron even though we never paid much attention to each other. " What was that for?" he yelled at me. I yelled back, " Well he is my teammate, I care for him, and your a jerk!" Hermione came over and repeated what i did exept it wasn't a slap, It was a punch. I stood there giggling silently behind Hermione, staring at the work she had done. Hermione had a nasty glare at the unconicus Draco.
Crabbe and Goyle stared at Hermione like she was crazyand lifted there arms to punch her. Goyles fist was about an inch from Hermione's nose when I came into the scene. I grabbed his arm and twisted it, then kicked some butt! Then I was on the shoulder of Ron and Harry listening to the chanting people that are chanting my name.
WAIT A MINUTE! REWIND!
Goyle had lifted his arm to slap her but I stopped him by grabbing his arm. No kick butt, but a very nice saying. "Never hit a woman." I had a serious look on my face and was giving him a Professer McGonagall stare that was saying 'You better get your little buddy and drag him out of here. They seemed to have noticed this because they picked Draco up and left.
"Thank You" Hermione said. "No problem its just my mom told me to allways do that when a man is going to hit a woman. She always told my best friend never to hit a woman because if he did our family will never forgive him. He never has and he never will, Hopefully." I responded.
Hermione nodded and left leaving me here...all alone...at the ceremony. What do i do now? I thought. Um...lets see. I got somthing to think about! What am I going to wear to the dance? Hm...search through your trunk...Well, it is a formal dance, so i guess i have to wear a dress. Oh I Know! I will wear my Aquamarine Dance Dress Satin Spaghetti Strap! It's sexy,comfortable, and you can dance in it without it ripping! I-- I was interuppted by Roger Davies. "Would you care to come sit with me?" he said. "I would love to." I said looking around to see if anyone could see that I was going to go sit withthe one and only, Roger Davies.
Roger Davies was voted 'Most Sexiest' and had so many girls a year. No, not at the same time. He had a girlfriend for 2 years but that was a roller coaster ride so he just ended the relationship. I have never thought to be his girl because I had always had my eye on Oliver but now that he is gone, I needed to find someone else.
Roger and I talked for at least an hour and then a reporter for the school newspaper wanted to interview him.I smiled at him, he kissed me on the cheek and left. I rubbed my cheek thinking, What was that for, I smiled again, and got up from my seat still smiling(AN: Yea I know ' Will she Stop Smiling, Its starting to get creepy!').
I left the ceremony and went to the Gryffindor common room and sat down in one of the armchairs. I stared at the fire. I really miss my team.I need Angelina and Alica especially right now. She needed to tell them about Roger Davies.I need a joke from Fred and George. I need to be bossed around because I am not paying attention by Oliver. I need my friends. I could owl them but whats the use. I will be leaving hogwarts in 15:45:48...47...46...45...ok I think you get it now! I'm counting down the time I have left at Hogwarts. I thought to myself still staring at the fire. Idiot! You have a best friend thats in your year. But she's not my best friend she doesn't knoe who I like or...she just doesnt know me that well! "Who?" said a familiar voice. I must have said it outloud. "Oh, Hi, Leanne." I said. Bloody...what if she had heard that? , I thought hoping that I didn't say that out loud too. Fortaunatly, I didn't. "Excited?" she said. "Well, sorta, but then not really. Its just I will miss my friends that are going to move to, places like America and France. I aslo am happy because once I'm free i will get to see my old Quidditch team. Well, at least the ones that still live here, in Scottland." I said. "You'll get to meet other people. You'll even find the perfect guy out there. We could live together!"she said. These words made me think. But there is already a perfect guy out there! I want him but he is gone! I have no idea were he is but he is one of the sweetest, cutest, honest guys i have ever met! I want him and no one else! I was a little picky in my thoughts but i didn't care, i liked Oliver and I would give anything for him to notice.
Time Left: 3:36:58
I had 3 and a half of an hour left and I was getting ready for the Dance party. I put my Dirty-Blonde hair up in a ponytail let a couple of strands hang out in the front and curl the rest of my hair. Put some clear lip-gloss on and a little bit of mascara. I put on my Aquamarine Dance Dress thats Satin with Spaghetti Straps with Aquamarine gloves and silver strappy shoes.
When I got into the Great Hall it said many things like 'Happy End Of the Year!' or there was a poster board that said: 'Hogwarts Memories' . I went over to that billboard and looked at it. There were pictures of old, happy times at Hogwarts. There were alot of the Gryffindor house, since these pictures were from Colin Creevy's camera. I saw one of Me and Oliver at Christmas time. We were under the Mistletoe and they refused to kiss. Oliver looked confused and I had my arms crossed and was rolling my eyes. I remembered that he was a pureblood so he didn't know the Myth to the Mistletoe(AN:Tell me you know what the Myth of the Mistletoe is!).
I looked at another picture and it was of Cedric Diggory(AN:wipes tear from eye) and Cho Chang(AN:DIE!pants,pants Sorry to all the people who like her. She was Cedric's last date.Well, at least that we know of...DIE!) at the Yule Ball. I looked around for more pictures of the rest of the couples at The Yule Ball, and I saw Myself and Seamus Finnigan dancing to 'Dance the Hippogriff'.
I left the bulliton board and went on the dance floor to start dancing.
I
need an alarm system in my house
So I know when people are
Creeping about
These people are
Freaking me out (these
days)
"Hey!" I heard a voice, a voice that sounded familiar.Too Familiar. Oh, I thought, It's Ron. Like I said, Kates, dont get over exited and think Oliver will come. "I was wonderin' If you wanted to dance?" he said. Aren't you suppose to be dancing with Hermione? I mean we know nothing, I repeat, nothing about each other! "Um...will you?" he said. I snapped back into the real world. "Sure" I said. We found a spot on the dance floor and started dancing.
It's getting hectic
everywhere that I go
They won't leave me alone
There's
things they all wanna know
I'm paranoid of all the people I
meet
Why are they talking to me?
And why can't anyone see
" So, you and Hermione going out yet?" I said. Merlin! Now, that was a thought out loud. Great. Just great. Ron stared at me wide-eyed, but still moving."Uhm...no...not really" he said. HE SPEAKS!
I
just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they
say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna
live
Just wanna live ( X6 )
I
rock a
Lawsuit when I'm going to court
A white suit when I'm
gettin' divorced
A black suit at the funeral home
And my
birthday suit when I'm home alone
Talkin' on the phone
Got
an interview
With the rolling stone
They're saying
"Now
you're rich and
Now you're famous
Fake ass girls all know
your name and
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Your first
hit aren't you ashamed?"
Of the life x2
Of the
life we're livin'
"Why?" he said, staring at me curiosly."Oh, It's just you guys are perfect for each other.You may fight alot but you make a cute couple ethier You and her or her and Draco." I said pointing at her then at Draco. Draco was still unconicus and Crabbe and Goyle had came back for the party. Oh, right I forgot Ron's drunk. My words to him would be usless.
I
just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they
say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna
live
Stop
your messin' around boy
Better think of your future
Better
make some good plans boy
Said everyone of my teachers
Lookout
You
better play it safe
You never know what hard times will come your
way
We say
Where we're coming from
We've already
seen
The worst that this life can bring
Now
we expect it everywhere that we go
All the things that they say
Yeah we already know
"I know what your thinking," he said, smiling "I'm not drunk. I got over it.". "Oh." I said. That was all I said the rest of the dance.
I
just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they
say
Don't really care about what happens to me
Just wanna
live x3
I just wanna live
Just wanna live x3
I
just wanna live
Just wanna live x3
Don't really care
about the things that they say
Just wanna live x3
Don't
really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live
The song was over.
2:43:02
Time was running out and I had no idea what to do. I thought for a while when it hit me. I needed a house. I went over to Dumbledore to see if he had the House sales from the 'Daily Prophet' He had said that there were house magazines in the back of the room, were all the other magazines were. I loved lake houses and beach houses. Thats all I ever wanted for my adult life. A nice beach house (or lake house) that I could sit and relax in. I wouldn't need the sound of a beach from a machine, I could just open a window. I never liked swimming in beaches but i always like walking on the beach when the sun sets.
I looked in the magazine and thought to myself, I cant afford any of these. If I could then I would have bought it but my dream would have to wait. Here is an affordable apartment, but it already has an owner, I will just have pay to stay with him i guess. I mean I see no more offers that I can afford so...
So that was my decision. I will give the owner a monthly payment and so I will have to live with this man. I wonder if we will get along...I was snapped from my thoughts once again. "Would you care to dance?" I looked up. It was Seamus Finnigan. Well YEAH! I mean this will be the last time I see you! "I would love to." I said happy about the fact that he invited me to dance. We started dancing to a slow song and we got closer and I laid my head on his shoulder.
We finally stopped dancing. "Would you care for some butterbeer?" he said. I thought about what happened to Ron. "I dont think you wanna drik that. Draco might of spiked it." I said. "Oh." he said. We grabbed a seat and talked. "So what do you plan on doing with the rest of your life, Katie?" he said. What am I going to do? I mean I would like to be a Professional Quidditch player but then Oliver might sense I like him. I thought. "Oh, I want to be a Professional Quidditch player." I said. "Oh," he said "Well I want to be an Auror." he said. But...but...I dont want you to be an auror. What if you...I don't even want to think about that. Its not my choice for what he is when he gets older. "Oh." I said my dark brown eyes staring at him, with tears in the back of them. Obviously, he didn't see the tears that were about to merge from my eyes. He just looked at me.
1:05:23
I sat there on my own for at least an hour and a half and stared at the floor. Being rude, Seamus had got up and left me sitting there. People tried to break me from the silence but no one succeeded. I finally snapped myself back to reality. I sat up at left for my dormitory. I got my trunk and went to the Entrance Hall. I was not going to leave just yet I just wanted to get my stuff ready. I put if where the other trunks and cages were and sat on my trunk. Now what? I thought. My time is low and I'm just sitting here. I should be dancing. I know that I should be dancing but my feet are tired.
40 minutes left. I needed someone to talk to so I called Leanne over. "Yes?" she said. She was wearing a halter topped silver dress with diamonds on the top. "Oh, I was just getting bored of siting here all alone." I said. "Oh," she continued, "Well, there are alot of people you can dance with, I mean there is 37 minutes left. Might as well dance." she finished, smiling at me. I smiled back at her and she left. What a helpful friend, let me tell ya... I was snapped back once again by Cedric Diggory's voice. But..how is that possible? I mumbled to myself. I looked up and no one was there. I stood up and went over to where my friends were standing.
"Hey" I said to all of them. they all said 'Hey' back and went back to who they were talking to. I turned around noticing that they did not want to talk to me. I went to the dance floor and started dancing. I was still bored and my feet were cramping. I contiued to dance until about 4 songs were over. !t had been at least 10 minutes so I went to sit down. I pulled of a peice of parchment from my trunk and started writing.
My last day of school is boring and sad. It is raining outside and I miss my friends. When I get out in the world I am going to ask Angelina if I can stay at her house for a couple days so I can just get my money together and find a job. I might ask If I can work at one of Fred and George's joke shops. I want to see Oliver but I am not going to get my hopes up.
Seamus wants to be an Auror. I wish he didn't. If he does, what if he dies? I dont want him too.
Draco has spiked the butterbeer, and half the crowd here is drunk. Crabbe and Goyle are sitting there laughing at all the drunk people. I know what your asking, Where is Mconagall? Well, she is out of the school on school business but when she gets back she will probably hav a hint at who did it.
I am bored and have 25 minutes left. Hopefully by the time I finish this letter It will be time to go.
Let me explain Oliver,
Age:21
Sex:Male(Well we hope!)
Hair:Brown,Short, And Silky!
Eyes:Choclate brown
Size: Tall,Thin,Muscular, but not too muscular
Favorite color: Gold
Job:Puddlemeire United!
End.
Yes, I know what your thinking! Hot!(AN: Well at least some of you...)I wish he would've noticed me more. I mean we have alot in common but he is too obsessed with Quidditch to even notice me. Well, now that I'm an adult I need to pass him by and move on. Goodbye Oliver Wood(AN:Thats What she thinks!)...
Time is running really low now, 15 minutes. I left and sat down on my trunk and patted my owl. I waited for 15 minutes and the Entrance Hall started filling up. It was Time.
The Doors opened at the world was open to me I walked out of the doors and I was free. I was a free woman.
AN:This is my second storie my first one stunk so I deleted it. This chapter is boring but I swear it will get better! Trust me! If you like the first chapter tell me cause i need to know if i should continue...which i am no matter what you say!Oh ok if everyone hates it then ok...i will stop it...
