So here we are people another chp. So if you all could tell me if this sucks that would be great unless it kicks ass then I would really love to hear what you think about it.

It was Wednesday (the last day of lessons) and kole was walking across the grass to the pitch with the other two chasers Sara, and Katherine or Kate as kole called her.

" So you think he's going to make us do pull up's this practice" said kole

"It's very likely," answered Kate walking in to the locker room

" We can always hope, that for some strange reason he won't," said Sara

"Yep and I'm really hoping right now' said kole pulling on her hoddie and gloves

" Ready for 2 and a half hours of back breaking fun that we willingly signed up for?" said Sara sarcastically

"You know it, " said kole begrudgingly grabbing her broom

As they came out the door they made there way to the center of the pitch where the boys where already standing and talking.

"Thank you ladies for joining us" said Todd

"Hey! We where on time" said Kate

"Yeah! You guys were just early," said Sara

"Yeah why is it that we are always late?" said kole throwing her hands up into the air.

"Because you usually are" said Todd "anyway seeing as this is our last practice before break and you all have bin doing so well and are sure to beat those slytherins I thought today we would have a little fun and play broom tag" he said as the other chattered excitedly

"Ok" he said backing away slowly" since I'm the captain I think..." the others also started backing away from each other" that ...Roane (the keeper) should be it" as he mounting his broom and rocketing in to the air the other fallowing suit.

Everyone was racing around, weaving in an out of hoops and other people. Finally after 5 min of casing Roane finally got Sara who got Todd almost right away as he whizzed by her. Todd quickly turned around and zeroed in on Cody. He raced after him dodging a few birds that had unwisely flown in to the pitch. Cody was fast but not fast enough, Todd got him and almost knocked him off him broom. After regaining his seat he began looking around for a victim when kole went sped by him with her tough suck out and waving teasingly at him as she sped away.

"Your mine summers" he yelled turning around and speeding after her.

"If you can catch me," she yelled over her shoulder putting on some extra speed

As kole went speeding above him, Todd noticed something out of the corner of his eye and looked to see what it was.

" What the Bloody hell do they want?" he hissed as he flew down to pitch floor to the slytherins.

"What do you want Williams" hissed Todd

"Yeah what the bloody hell do you want?" said kole as she and Cody landing beside Todd, having noticed who was there.

" Awe don't talk like that you'll hurt my feelings" cooed Williams looking hurt " Find a date to the dance yet Summers?" he asked already knowing the answer " my offer still stands." he said his disgusting smirk painting it's way across his face.

" I'd sooner quite quittach before I would go anywhere with a prick like you." said Kole seething and at this Johns face dropped his smirk and fell and was replaced with a look of anger.

"You really should watch your language." said Olivia strutting to the front

"Back off Olivia" growled kole" unless you want me to change your hair color again, I was thinking a mud green mullet this time," she said twirling her bleach wood and dragon heart wand within her fingers, causing Olivia to take a cautious step back.

"Williams we have the pitch today. Get out." said Todd taking over the conversation.

" Well, me and the rest of the team were wondering if you and your team would like to play a quick game," said Williams smiling

" Now why would you want to subject yourself to more shame then you already have" said Todd while the rest of the team stood silently behind him itching for a fight." now get off the pitch we have practice to get to" he added turning around and walking away the rest of the team slowly turning and fallowing.

"What afraid your going to lose, Mudblood" said Williams

Kole turned around ready to curse Williams into the next century calling anyone that name this day in age was uncalled for, but before she could even pull out her wand Cody wrapped his arms securely around her restring her arms from any further movement. " Don't. I know how badly you want to but we need you. We'll get him on the pitch after break, let Todd take care of him now." he whispered harshly in her ear the anger rippling off him matched Koles. She knew he was right and she relaxed though she couldn't get the blush to wash off her face, in the back of her mind she wished he'd had his arms wrapped around her for another reason.

Todd turned around slowly with fire burning in his eyes and motioning for the team to stop their insults then said " your on" he whispered the rest of the team

"Good" said Williams smiling " very good"

"All the same rules apply here as in a really game. First to 100 points wins" said Vicky a 7th year Hufflepuff " now captains shake hands

The two just glared at each other not making a move.

Kole turned to Cody who was floating a few feet to her right and smiled at him.

"Ready to run them into the ground" he whispered

She smiled evilly and nodded. Feeling someone's stare upon her she turn to her other side and saw Williams staring at her then he winked. She scowled and turned back to the center. What she didn't see was the frightening stare Cody was giving him

"OK ready" asked Vicky looking to each player after they all nodded she blew her whistle and threw the quaffle in to the air. Kate dove and caught it tarring down the pitch she passed it to Kole who smiled evilly at Olivia and she smiled back. Kole shot the ball at Olivia she dove and missed terribly. After the first score the ball was contently changing hands and after 2 houses of close save's, terrible misses, and a few fights finally it was 50 to 90 and kole was in position, when someone suddenly pulled up close on her right side. She looked over to be met with a pair of steel gray eyes that belonged to John Williams. "What the..." thought kole. Then Williams faded out and came slamming back in to kole and knocking her off her broom. Kole started screaming, she was falling and fast the wind was rushing past her ears her screams being carried up in to the dark evening sky. Flashes of other players could be seen and the thoughts of her own death lingering in the forefront of her mind. After what felt like years she felt herself slowing down with about 50 feet between her and the cold unforgiving ground then someone catching her in their arms. Kole shut her eyes and dug her nails in to the person's sweatshirt, that smelt like the woods or a burning campfire, familiar though she couldn't place it still feeling the shock over the face that she had just fallen nearly 200 feet and the reason for it. After a few more minutes she felt them touch down and the person get off their broom, amazingly with out dropping her.

" Kole, you ok" the unusually warm person asked quietly, still holding her

Recognizing with a sigh of relief the voice kole opened her eyes and took her nails out of his sweatshirt as he carefully put her down on the solid, pitch floor.

"Yeah, I seem to be falling a lot this week don't I" she said smiling nervously and looking up at Cody and regaining her balance, still shaking a bit.

"See I told you I wouldn't let you get hurt" he said smiling down at her his canine teeth flashing as the caught the light.

" Thanx for saving me" she said wrapping her arms around him and barring her head chest " again"

"Any time" he said smirking and pulling her closer, resting his head on top of hers. (Damn those 5 inches)

Kole could hear Cody's steady heart beat and felt his hot breath on her neck. It was like a silent lullaby slowly calming her down and eventually she stopped shaking and got over the shock.

" Kole are you ok!" screamed Sara and Kate running over to her as soon as they'd touched down.

" Yeah," she said reluctantly pulling away from Cody" im fine Cody saved me" she said smiling at him" but I wouldn't be so sure about a certain slytherin" she hissed turning around to face John.

"WILLIAMS WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT" yelled Todd as he landed in front of John before Kole could even start

"You could have killed her," Cody growled walking past Kole to join Todd

"Back off Sthal" he said looking at Cody with murderous eyes.

"Kole?' he said looking over to her.

"What...the ...bloody hell...did you think you were doing." she angrily whispered while shaking violently as she tried to contain her anger.

" Will you go to the ball with me?" he said

She was shocked her eyes grew big. " Is he serious?" she thought. Then anger taking over once more her eyes became hard and menacing.

After a few seconds she said "hell no." she looked him straight in the eye then walked into the locker room with Sara and Kate fallowing her.

" What the hell was that!" barked Cody his eye's looking deadly while he was advancing on John pulling out his wand from his hoodie pocket.

" Back off Sthal you could get hurt" he dangerously whispered pulling out his own wand pointing it at his chest.

" Cody! Stop! He's not worth it," said Todd grabbing his arm and dragging him in to the locker room.

Johns eyes where blazing as he turned back and watched her walk away. John just stood their anger rapped in every part of his body. Suddenly he mounted his broom and kicked off soaring in to the dark. The rest of his team left to change and go back to their dorms also a little shocked themselves at what had just happened and questioning their captain's sanity.

Kole went in and took a long hot shower, clearing her mind and letting all her troubles flow down the ancient drain. When she was finished the other girls had already left after making sure kole was really ok and not on the verge of a mental break down which would involve hysterical crying and the inability to walk back to the school on her own. She got dressed and put her broom in the closet and locked it. After rechecking the lock and the shower room to make sure she hadn't left anything, kole opened the door and walked back in to the dark, cold night to find her best friend waiting for her.

"Oh hey Cody" she said seeing him leaning up against the opposite wall eyes closed facing the bright crescent moon.

" You didn't have to wait for me really I'm fine, it'll take a little more then a 200ft drop to break me." she said smiling over at him.

"Yeah I know, but I also know your afraid of the dark." he said smiling laughter lighting his bright eyes.

" Hey! I'm not afraid of the dark" she said crossing her arms" just what could be in it" she answered looking out toward the dark forest.

" Don't worry there's nothing in there that would hurt you...for now" He said seriously his eyes darkening as he looked word the dark forest.

" How do you know?" asked kole curiosity lacing her question.

" Believe me, there's nothing to threatening in there," He said smiling his eyes once again bright "unless your afraid of unicorns" he said laughing

" Oh yes down right terrified of them those pure white coats and golden hooves send me running." she said laughing along with him

" Hey can I ask you something?" asked Cody the laughter dying in his eyes.

" You just did" she said smiling " but yeah I guess"

" Umm..." he said

He looked up to see her looking right back at him waiting.

"Just ask her DAMN IT," his brain yelled

" Well Kole I've.... kind of liked you for a really long time so... would you go to the ball with me?" he finally said at her nervously hanging his head a little looking at her from under his thick eyelashes

Holy crap thought kole did he really just ask me to the ball " Wow twice in one night" She thought " now say yes you part"

"Yeah...of course!" she said smiling broadly her eyes lighting up as she practically took him to the ground in running over to him and a gave him a hug.

He hugged her back and they stood there for a little while a huge smile slowly spreading across his face as the realization hit him.

" Cody your like a fernis are you ever cold" asked kole as she pressed her cheek to Cody's warm chest.

" Here, we should go in before it get's to late" said Cody ignoring her question, smiling unable to stop, while putting his hands in his pockets and shrugging towards the warmly lit school.

" Yeah, I guess we should. " said kole looking back up at the warm school as they started out in that direction.

" So does this mean you've like me for a while too?" asked Cody grinning like a wolf looking over at her his eyes glittering.

" Yeah it does." said Kole looking over at him unable to lose her smile.

At this Cody took her hand in his own overly warm one lacing his fingers with her's and pulled her a closer. She was his now and he wanted everyone to know. Kole smiling grasped his back. Both being in there own blissfully happy world, neither noticed the figure in the shadow's that had bin watching the whole happy moments but it only made him sick with anger. After Kole and Cody turned the corner he walked into the Slytherin Locke room vowing to fix this anyway possible, Kole would be his. He took a quick shower threw on his cloths and stalked out the he got to his dorm he started thinking, how he would fix this how to make it right.

When Cody and Kole had gotten back to the common room they said wished each other a good night. After having a long heated internal argument with her self, kole kissed him on the cheek then practically killed her running up the stairs, leaving Cody in a blissful shock. When she got up to the room she did her own rendition of the happy dance.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The next morning Kole woke up early not being able to sleep any longer. So she got up and looked around. None of the other girls where up and it was to early to wake them so she walked quietly over to her grabbed her black Gryffindor t-shirt and her favorite jeans, put her hair up in a ponytail and after grabbing her shoe's she headed down to the great hall. After eating a quick breakfast. She went out to the pitch and grabbed her broom and soared into the sky and that's where she spends most of her days off. All alone up there in the sky nothing but her and her thoughts. Or so she thought, down on the ground was Cody. He had watch her do this many times through out there young and short lives and every time he didn't have the heart to pull her out of that world. As it grew dark he headed back in, only after watching kole go in first. She was truly happy up there that's where she belonged he though as he headed back in taking a long look at the forest, and the rustling trees.

Two days later it was Dec. 23. Over night it had snowed a great deal leavening at least 3 feet of light fluffy snow waiting outside for them.

"So we going outside for another multiannual girls vs. guys snowball fight," asked kole looking around at everyone

" Yeah we can't have the girls winning these year can we? " said Cody smirking

" Yeah you guys cheated last time, you bewitched you snow balls or something," said Bane from across the table

"NO you guys are just bad losers," said Saorirse" we beat you guys fair and square"

" Yeah, sure, what ever" said Tommy

" Well I guess well settle it today so if you all would excuse us where going to go dress for war and you all can go dress and prepare yourselves for another devastating lose" said kole getting up

The girls (kole, kairi, Saorirse, Sara, Kate) told the boys they'd be down in a few minutes and left to change.

20 mins later the girls where back in the great hall all decked out in their snow wear including kole's black dorky poof ball hat, which kairi was sure shed burned the damned thing last year.

" Where are those boys (Cody, bane, Tommy, Ben, todd)" said Sara "isn't it us who usually take longer to get dressed"

" Yeah we usual ally are" said Saorirse looking around again

" Why don't we just head outside and get started on our stock and barricade, pulse I'm burning up in this" said Kate

"Yeah lets do that," said kole heading for the doors

The minute she stepped out side a signal snowball hit her on the side of the face knocking her slightly sideways. It slid down her face then she slowly turned in the direction of where the snow ball had come and there standing that goofy grin/smirk on his face (that made her breath catch, thought she's never admit it) stood Cody. A smile slowly formed on her face, while behind her back she conquered a snow ball (having mastered wandless magic ages ago) and rocketed it at Cody hitting his square in the face knocking him flat on his back. The other girls seeing what had happened had also conquered snowballs and leap out from behind the door giving a Great War cry, and threw them all but one missed. Kole leap down the stairs sinking deep into the snow. She immediately got out grabbed more snow and ran out from in front of the wall then threw it at bane clipping his shoulder.

The war had bin going on for about an hour. The boys looked like they might win, but the girls weren't about to let them win easily. Kole was running looking over her shoulder as Ben was chasing her when she ran in to someone knocking the other person and herself to the ground (her landing on top of the other person). She was slightly dazed and began trying to catch her breath and get her vision back.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Cody stared after her not yet computing what had just happened.

" Kole just kissed me," he thought placing his hand over his cheek.

Slowly a smirk slid over his face.

After letting out a few yells he quietly walked up the stairs not wanting to disturbed the occupants of the Gryffindor tower any longer. When he reached his dorm all the lights were out and a small fire was burning in the fireplace keeping the room nice and warm. Cody silently changed not wanting to wake up anyone.

After many hours of replaying the night events in his head he finally fell in to a deep, peaceful sleep.

At around 9 am Bane woke Cody up. Saying " If you don't get up soon your going to miss breakfast, so get up you lazy arse"

He slowly got dressed and staggered down the stairs and to the great hall only tripping once. Upon entering the great hall he herd koles distanced laugh and perked right up.

" Good morning all" said bane as he sat down next to Tommy.

" Hey"everyone answered.

" So are we going out side for another multiannual girls vs. guys snowball fight?"Kole asked

" Yeah we can't have the girls winning this year can we? " said Cody smiling

" Yeah you guys cheated last time, you bewitched your snow balls or something," said Bane from across that table

"NO you guys are just bad losers," said Saorirse" we beat you guys fair and square"

" Yeah... sure... what ever" said Tommy

" Well I guess well settel it today" said Kairi

" So if you all would excuse us where going to go dress for war and you all can go dress and prepare yourselves for another devastating lose" said Sara as her and the ret of the girls got up

"Hey lets go get dressed fast then come down before they get back and ambush them." said bane

"Yeah" said Cody so they hurrily finished there breakfast and went to change.

About 15 minutes later the boys where out side stockpiling snowballs and building there barricade

" How long does it take to get dressed, I mean we did it in 5 min" said Todd

" Ages mate ages," answered Ben knowing all to well having grown up with 4 sisters.

" Hey guys there coming " said Cody as he picked up a snow ball and tip-toed over to the stairs

The second Kole stepped out the door Cody threw the snowball hitting her square on the side of the face. She slowly turned to face Cody their eyes met and she immediately sent her own snowball flying hitting Cody in the face causing him to fall flat on his back. Then the other girls came out from behind the wall giving a furious war cry and throwing there own snow balls in hand and threw them. The war had started.

A few hours later it looked like the boys were finally going to win but the girls were putting up a good fight.

"I'll get you!" yelled Kairi as she ran after Cody

" In your dreams " he yelled as he looked over his shoulder.

Then he ran in to someone which knocked him over on to his back and the other person landing on top of him causing the air to rush out of him and a few stars to appear in front of his eyes.
