So here we are people second chap. Enjoy!!!!!

well," Kairi said putting her hands behind her head in a relaxed fashion" that was interesting, Kole you ok"

" yeah i'm fine" she said not able to cover the little bit of anger crept in to her voice.

"Kole we all know John is full of hot air all talk and no action so don't fear my dear everything will be ok." said Saoirse putting and arm on her sholders " plus you could always kick his ares... again" she added smickering as she remebered the time in 2nd year when john had made fun of kole for not being able to change her button in to a beetle.( transfigurations had never bin one of Kole strong points) so Kole punched him straight in the face he had black eyes for she had gotten detention for 3 days but it was so worth it.

"yeah" said Kairi laughing also remembering

" Hey Kole are you ok?" asked Cody finally catching up with them

" Yeah , i'm fine" she said smiling up at him( damn thoughts 5 inches she thought.)

"wow she has beautiful eyes" he thought but he already knew that. He and kole had been friends since they were 8 when Kole's family had moved in to the house next door. He thought her blood red hair was weird once he'd asked her why it was that color, she said that she had grown up in the dessert and her red colored hair was a sign of strenght and a blessing from the Gods and her grandmother had had the same color. Anyway they'd both grown up knowing that they were wizards and had spent many hours thinking about what school would be like and if they would be in the same house and if they would make the house team together. They'd also been playing quidditch with each other. That's where they'd discovered that Kole and Cody where both pretty good for there age and Kole's older brothers Nara and Roan ( twins Black hair yellow eyes about6'2) ,who at the time had just started there quidditch carrier for England ( at age 17 best beaters to hit the scean sense the twins ...fred...tear...). They thought if they kept up they could become amazing. They'd watched each other grow up, but it wasn't till this year that Cody noticed just how much Kole had grown up and what that weird feeling in his stomach was. She wasn't the same little girl running around in cut off shorts and mud caked shoes. She had grown-up, filled out getting curves in all the right places and turned into a beautiful girl, who frequently visited his day and night dreams and many of her other male classmates. Kole was diffrent, she wasn't the girly girl who spent hours getting ready or fussed over every little thing and never let a shrill scream excape her and Cody liked that about her. Even though he felt this way he never told her, partly because he was afraid of rejection, but also because if she didn't feel the same way the friendship would never be the same and he didn't think he could take life with out her.

" Remember i've always got your back"he said Smirking down at her.

" Thanks Cody" she said smiling and giving him a hug" you going to hogsmead tomorrow?"

" Yeah i need to restock my candy stash it's running a little low" he said smirking, K9 teeth showing.

" Same here I ran out of chocolate frogs a days ago" said Kole

" It's bin painful" siad Kairi in a whine.

" maybe I'll see you there" said Kole brightening up.

"yeah" he said

" Well see ya later" said Kole walking up the stairs that lead to the 6th year girls dorm room.

'Yeah bye" said Cody as he watched her disaper around the corner then going to his own dorm.

" heard about what happen at dinner, anyone get hurt" asked Bane the other beater on the gryffindor team and Codys best mate

" Not this time" he asnwered remembering all the times Cody and John had gotten in fights, usally ending in some kind of blood shed and long hours spent in detention.

" That Willams is such a prat" said Bane " someone needs to put him in his place"

" yeah,... hey what do you think of Kole?" asked cody throwing his stuff on his bed

"I think she's a wicked sick quidditch player, and one of the coolest girls I've ever met, and she doe's some pretty dangerous flying , she's diffrent breed of girl man ,why" he said looking at Cody who wasn't looking at him.

" hold on Mate do you like her" he said with a slightly suprized look on his face, he suspected it for a while but didn't really bother to think to far into it.

"Mate hello answer me do you" he asked again.

" Yeah" Cody mumbled not looking up

" Mate she's cool and pretty Hot if you ask me" he said

"Dude, shut up" cody said hitting Bane " I just don't know if i should ask her out or not"

" Mate you've never bin afraid of anything, just ask her" he said " you've got a week untill the dance so you better do it fast as i said before Kole is hot ( bane had to dodge another swing) and you probley aren't the only one wanting to ask her"

" What, who else wants to ask her" said cody some agression seaping in to his voice

" Sam Tallons, Evan walker, Ryan Swift, just to name a few" he said counting off on his fingers " so just go up and ask her mate it can't be that hard, she's your friend"

" Exactly!!" Cody said "She's my friend!! My best friend!"

" and what am i, chop liver" said Bane holding his right hand over his heart in a pained fashion.

" Mate, i could screw up our friendship... i don't want things to get acuward...i don't want to lose her." saisd Cody looking lost.

" well you could live forever wondering or you could at least try, how bad could things really get? " said bane getting back to his homework. "plus if she says yes you'll be happy as hell right?

" Yeah I guess" said a digruntled cody as he left to go take a shower.

" Ok what do we start off with" asked Kole slipping on her red and black plaid PJ bottoms.

" Boys" Yelled Saoirse

" Heck yes" agreed kairi

" so who do you want to go to the Ball with Taylor" asked Kole jumping on her bed slowly undoing her brides leaving her hair all wavy.

"Well, you know that guy in our potions class ( NAme)" she said

" You mean the tall one with the black hair, kinda quiet" asked Kairi

"yeah" she said

"He's cute Sao and now that you say that when ever i'm partners with him he always ask's about you and stars at you when he thinks i'm not paying attention." said Kole

" Really!" she said " do you think he likes me."

" No not at all OF course he likes you if a guy stairs at you for longer than a few seconds he likes you." said Kairi in a matter of fact way.

" Or you have something on your face" siad kole that earned her a shove that almost knocked her off the bed.

" Well oh wise one what about you who do you want to go to the Ball with, oh wait stupid question all you've bin talking about is Ben " said Kole

" I have not"she screached" i talk about other things they all just happen to lead to the Ben topic"

" Sure what ever you say" said Kole sarcastcally rolling her eyes.

"well Kole how bout you who do you want to go with." said taylor

" well..." she said

" well out with it who is he" said taylor

" It's Cody," she said falling into her pillow

Looking up to see the shocked looks on her friends faces she went on babbling stupidly.

"I've like him for a long time but it's just i don't want to mess up our friendship i don't know if he likes me, i mean we talk and goof off all the time at practice an during class but i don't know if he likes me that way or if were just friends" she said " and you guys can't tell anyone swear"

"We swear" said Kairi

" Yeah but he's not bad looking quidditch has done that boy some real good" said Saoirse smiling

"Hey" yelled Kole smacking Saoirse with a pillow sending her off the side of the bed.

The rest of the night they spent pillow fighting and talking about dresses or more boys and what not until they fell asleep.

"Yeah there cutting it a little close" said Bane looking at his watch then back at the stairs

"Probley forgot to set their alarm and are running around like carzy women." Said cody smirking at the thought, Kole had never been known for her ability to be anywhere on time and the other two girls where no better.

"Maybe i should go get them" he said walking tord the stair case

"No I'm sure there fine now come on will see them later" said Bane dragging Cody out the front doors.

" OMG" screamed Saoirse waking kole and Kairi, causing Kole to fall off her bed with a dull thud.

" Ow" she moaned out rubbing her elbows

" What is it " mumbled kairi angerly shiffting under her mountin of blakents

" We have 15 min to get down staries" screamed out Saoirse

That caused complet and total madness to insue.

"Didn't anyone set a alarm?" Kole yelled as she made a mad dash to her messy and overflowing wardrobe

" I thought Kairi did she usally doe's" yelled Saoirse said while pulling a blue t-shirt on.

' what ever " Yelled Kole "just get dressed" she said while pulling on her red shirt with gryffindor quidditch written on the front and " some call them opponents i call them victims" on the back it and a pair of jeanes, her black and white etnies and her Ireland quidditch hoddie. Then while Kairi was lacing up her black convers Kole made a mad dash to the bath room to stratin her hair with a spell. By the time everyone was done they had 3 min to get down stairs.

" doe's everyone have there money, and stuff so you don't frezze your arses off" yelled Kairi digging in her trunk cumming up with her red scarf.

" Yes" couresed the other two girls grabbing there bags

" well then...Last one down staris is a rotten dragon egg" she yelled and everyone went ripping down the staircase, out the portal hole and down even more stairs. They barley made it there where only 4 more people waiting in line to have there slips signed.

'That was close" said Kole breathing deeply

"you can say that again" said Kairi said catching her breath

" that was close" said taylor

" i was being sarcastic." said Kairi

" Cutting it a little close aren't we laddies" said Prof. Weasly giving them a warm smile and checking there slips " well your all are ok so go on have fun"

"Thanks Mrs.W see ya later" said Saoirse

" Ya thanks see ya monday" said Kole

As they were running down the stairs Kole, not looking where she was going, ran head-long into someone, sending her to the ground landing flat on her butt.

" ouch" said kole rubbing her aching backside" why do i seem to be spending more and more time on the ground these days" she thought

"Are you ok" asked the person she'd run in to extending a hand down to help her up.

" Yeah I'm find, I seem to be falling allot latley" Kole answered as she excepeted their out streached hand.

Finally when kole was back on her feet did she finally look into the face of the person she'd run into and then she gasped, it was Ron Weasly. The greatest goal keeper the Cannons had ever had , not to mention he had helped to get rid of the dark lord himself.

"OMG's" koles mind screamed her mouth hanging open.

"Hey arn't you Kole summers?" he asked

" Y..yeah" she studdered out " HE KNOW'S MY NAME" her mind screamed.

" I came to the last game, you and that Sthal kid were really good" he said

" Thank-you" she said getting over most of the shock

" When you scored that last goal upside down that was amazing" he said eyes lighting up

" Thanks" she said smilling

"Oh there you are, I've bin waiting inside for you" said Prof. Weasley " Hello again girls, do you mind if i steal back my husband" she said putting hand around his waist.

" yeah sure" said Kairi

" Thank-you guys bye... again" said Prof

" Yeah bye guys, keep up the good work summers" said Ron as he falowed Prof. over tword the lake.

"Bye" coursed the girls waving

"Oh my gosh" said Kole" he thinks i good"

" Kole we all knew that, hell the intire school knows that" said taylor

"Yeah, but to hear it from Him!"said Kole still not quiet over meeting the Quidditch star. " OMG'S"

" OK enough about Kole where are we going first" Said Kiri.

" Well, we could go to my Aunts shop, Von Witch to look for dresses first" said Saoirse

" Yah with out a dress we really can't look for anything else" said Kole coming back down to earth.

" Geez, Kairi what were you thinking? with out a dress we just can't look for anything else" said Saoirse mockingly

" Hey, it's early in the morning and i didn't get to eat what do you expect?" she answered

" Ok then to Von Witch it is" said Kole as the walked through the high gates topped with wingged bores.

After a little walking they came apon the little dress shop and entered to the sound of tinkling of bells and the sight of Saoirse Aunt behind the counter.

" Hello, Aunt Andy" Said Saoirse walking over to the counter

" Hey girls shopping for dresses for the ball" said andy a young witch about 23 with short blech blond hair all up in points.

" Yah" said Kole" how did you know"

" I just had about 4 girls in here talking about it looking at dresses and kept asking me if they made them look fat" said Andy rolling her eyes

" must have bin Olivia" spat Kole

"Ya know now that you say that i think one of the other girls called her that, why whats wrong with her" Andy asked

" Well in the 1st year she called Kairi the "M" word after she got a higher grade on a charms test and kole punched her , giving her a nice black eye, and they've bin fighting ever sence." said Saoirse looking over some dresses.

" well thats good because she just bought a dress that makes her look like a large pink bird so theres some amo for the next few weeks" said Andy" you all better get started there are ton of wicked dresses , just tell me if ya need anything and the fitting rooms are over there" she said pointing to 4 black and red painted doors.

" Ok thanks Autie" said Saoirse walking over to a rack of red dresses

" any time hun" she answered looking back at the magazine she'd been reading when they'd come in.

The girls spent the first half hour picking out dresses to try on and then all went to the fitting rooms toghter so they could get each others opinion.

" Ok you guy's I'm ready, how bout the rest of you"asked Kole stepping out

" hold on" gasped Saoirse

Finally the other girls stepped out.

Kole stepped out in a Bright yellow sparkly halter dress with a skirt the came down to mid thigh, Saoirse in a white full length, spegittie strap dress, and Kairi in a full length ,strapless with a slightly fluffy hot pink taffita skirt and silk hot pink bedded top.

" Kairi that dress looks great on you" said Kole pulling at the hem of her skirt uncomfortably

"yeah, Kariri it makes you look tan, and i didn't think that was possiable" said Saoirse raising an eyebrow

" thanks guys i like it too, " she said

"Kole that dress makes you look like a whore." said Saoirse

"Well ya but and expencive whore at least" said Kole laughing

" Saoirse that dress makes you look pale and it's draging on the floor" said Kairi

"Well take two i guess" said Saoirse heading back to the fitting rooms. the other girls soon fallowed suite.

"Come on ladies i'm not getting any younger" yelled Kairi a few minutes later

" Fine I'm coming" said Kole as she stepped out in a hot pink skin tight stapless dress basically she looked, again, like a cheep hooker.

" Kole that dress is awful' said Kairi holding back a laugh an doing a bad job of it.

" Oh my " said Saoirse stepping out in a orange beaded crosset tie dress. " that dress is horriable it might even be worse than the last one."

" Sao that dress rocks you have to get it". exclamed Kairi

" ya your dress is cool, and this dress should be burned " said Kole walking back into the dressing rooms with an exsaperated sigh.

" well were done so try to move a little faster". said Saoirse

5min later

" Kole get your butt out here" yelled Kairi

" I'm coming don't get your knickers in a twist" she yelled back" ready"

" yeah now get out here" said Saoirse stomping her foot

Kole steeped out in a black princess style dress with a Black beaded corsset top with a fluffy black and red taffita skirt.

" Ohh, Kole that dress is so pretty on you you have to get it" said Saoirse.

"Yeah Kole it looks so good on you" said Kairi smiling " and it's so diffrent from what you usally wear"

You'll have to beat the boys off with your broom stix" said Saoirse

"Good now that thats done i'm gonna go get out of this thing and then we can go shop for other stuff" said Kole skipping and almost killing herself on the way back to the dressing room.

Kole changed with out insident and the paid for there dresses

" Hey do you guy's want me to have those dresses sent up to school so you dont' have to carry them around all day" asked Andy

"Yeah thanks Andy"said Kole and the other girls as they handed over the dresses

" Anytime babe" said Andy taking the dresses

" Ok now where do we go" said Saoirse

" Ummmmm...how bout we go look for shoe's " said Kairi " i think theres a store right down the street" she added looking to her left

" Yeah, ok" said Saoirse

" Hey you guy's go ahead i'm gonna go stock up on some candy, do you guys need anything?" said kole

" Yeah, grab me some frogs please" said Saoirse

" i dont' need anything, but will see ya at the shop, and kole you are going to wear heels" said Kairi

" NO I donT. but i'll see ya later" she said heading in the direction of Honeydukes.+
