For my dear girl, Christy (demonchild32191).

Drabble #25 - Veela

Katie watched in irritation as one by one the boys around her went slack jawed and glaze-eyed. “Great…the Beauxbatons belles must be in the vicinity…”

George Weasley nudged his brother with a starved expression as the blonde, blue-eyed (no doubt half Veela) girl sashayed past their spot in the courtyard.

A heavily pronounced eye-roll was awarded for his childish behaviour.

“Cor…if only they made them like THAT in Hogwarts!” This earned Wood a jab in the side.

A crumpled parchment landed in her lap and she unfolded it to read the words inside :

They make them fine in Hogwarts.

Drabble #26 - Divination

Another class with the loony, bug-eyed Divination professor and Katie was just about ready to throw herself off the tallest tower Hogwarts had to offer.

Last week she was going to end up bruised and bleeding.

No surprises there, they played Slytherin for the first match of the season.

Two days ago, she was to receive surprises abundant!

Sure enough, the house elves had been busy that Christmas Eve.

However, today the old bat’s words were causing the hair on the back of her neck to stand.

“I see a giant troll-like creature…slithering green snakes…and quite a bit of romance.”

Drabble #27 - Dare

Gryffindor Common room, late night, Friday :

“You are all one chaser short of a quidditch team.” Katie announced tersely to the Gryffindor team.

Laughter.

“You’re too generous, Bell…we’re seven short of a team and then some!” Said one Weasley twin.

More laughter.

So maybe playing truth, dare or kiss the squid with the most immature group of people in Hogwarts was not an intelligent thing to do, but this was just insane.

Great Hall, breakfast, Saturday :

A pair of orange boxers with purple hearts tacked to Dumbledore’s seat. A sign floated above it, flashing : Flint’s Unmentionables Mentioned.

Drabble #28 - Pureblood

“I don’t see the sense in you being a pureblood, Bell. All that good blood wasted on a muggle lover such as yourself.”

Katie refused to respond to the hurtful words and continued on her way to the Quidditch Pitch.

“In fact…you’re no better than those Weasleys…or dare I say it? Of course…Granger.”

She kept on walking, with her chin defiantly thrust forward.

“You know what makes me sick, though?” The stubborn mule went on, dogging her steps, “Is that I still find you so…delectable.”

She tripped and quickly righted herself.

He laughed and turned back with a smug grin.

Drabble #29 - Duel

Katie bounded past the giant hour-glasses in the hallway and nearly slipped onto the floor when she saw the drastic change in the points.

Gryffindor was in last! She gritted her teeth and balled up her fingers into small fists.

Someone was going to pay. She had worked hard for those points in Quidditch, and some stupid, inconsiderate fools had thrown it all away like peanuts!

The word soon spread, the mighty Harry Potter and 3 other idiots had snuck out for a duel with a Malfoy.

If a duel is what Potter wanted, then a duel he would get.

Drabble #30 - Yule Ball

Just when she thought the Yule ball couldn’t have gotten any worse, her date chose that moment to crash into the refreshment table, and dragging Katie along with him.

As she sat in the pudding, two thoughts came to mind :

She was wearing white robes.

Marcus Flint was staring at her, while looking immaculately groomed and polished.

She didn’t know why the second thought mattered more, but she promptly fled the great hall for a good cry.

Halfway up the stairs, Flint caught up to her and stuffed a hankie in her hand. “You should have come with me.”

Nabs · 09-03-2006, 12:37 AM

Drabble #31 - Leprechaun

“Oh bugger…have any of you seen my diary?” A harassed looking Katie asked her roommates.

That day, odd things happened. McGonogall’s black robes had burst into a riot of bright colours, the giant squid had come ashore and shook hands (tentacles?) with her and of course, the sight of Malfoy jumping onto the table and dancing a jig had been priceless.

At dinnertime, a leprechaun had appeared in front of her and sprinkled gold coins all over the Weasleys.

That night, she found her diary on her bed with a scribbled note inside “May all your wishes come true, MF.”

Drabble #32 - Care of Magical Creatures

Katie Bell was at the Gryffindor table and perusing the list of subjects she could take next year.

Divination looked easy , and Defense Against the Dark Arts was too interesting to pass up. One more class, but which one?

“How about Herbology? I’m sure the knowledge to grow your own food would be helpful for the Weasleys.”

She resisted the urge to turn around and stab Flint with her quill, but couldn’t resist saying “Your future wife better study Care of Magical Creatures…to figure out how to feed and wash you.”

He left, she chose Care of Magical Creatures.

Nabs · 09-03-2006, 02:49 PM

Drabble #33 - Warn

Terrence Higgs and Adrian Pucey looked eagerly at Marcus for approval on their plan to bring Gryffindor down. He just stared at them angrily, as they rambled on:

“Take down the chasers, hit the bludger hard at Bell, aim the Quaffle at Woods’ nether areas…”

He had no problem with that last bit, but they couldn’t harm Katie. Higgs and Pucey would undoubtly act out their plan, and he couldn’t stop them or they would suspect his thing for Bell. So he nodded and left.

Katie got a note in the library saying “Just a warning, watch Higgs and Pucey.”

For my Ashlie

Drabble #34 - Animagus

Katie, Alicia and Angelina were huddled in a library corner, giggling and snorting as they went through a book about Animagi.

“Katie, what would your Animagus be?” Alicia asked.

She thought about the question, “Hmm…an eagle?”

“You wouldn’t have hands!”

“Okay…an orang-utan, then!”

This elicited a peal of laughter from the girls, and got them kicked out of the “sanctuary of studying and silence” as Pince called it while she slammed the door on their backs.

They headed for dinner at the great hall where they bumped into Marcus Flint.

“Looks like someone else had the same idea…” Katie said.

Nabs · 09-03-2006, 03:12 PM

Drabble #35 - Socks

She stared at her toe as her friends chatted around her. The socks were threadbare, and her toe was sticking out. She snuck a glance at Angelina’s cashmere socks and sulked.

It must be nice to be rich. Or at least afford proper socks.

Nobody noticed her brooding, and it was just as well. She stuffed her feet into her shoes and stood up, “I’m going to do my Potions essay. Later!”

Hours later, she headed back to her dorm and jumped into bed. Only to land on a box.

Inside were socks, and a note “Keep warm, Bell – MF”

Nabs · 09-03-2006, 03:21 PM

Drabble #36 - Yodel

After spending summer on a muggle experience in Switzerland, Katie was full to bursting with tales to tell her friends back in school.

First there was the fascinating way the muggles got around the place, and then the food they ate, and of course the funniest thing she had picked up had to be demonstrated.

Marcus was walking past a compartment on the train when the sound of a girl shouting made him stop.

Sliding the door open, he found Katie Bell standing and singing/hexing everyone.

The girl stopped and bowed to her friends, “That was a yodel!”

Marcus snorted.

Nabs · 09-03-2006, 06:45 PM

Okay, this one is in Katie's seventh year.

Drabble #37 - Past

In the past, she would never have gotten riled up enough to have done something like that. In the past, she would have practiced some control on her anger. In the past, she had prided herself for her aloofness.

But all that had changed. Katie Bell could no longer claim to be cool, disconnected and calm. Some would go so far and say that Katie Bell was…emotional.

And she had one person to blame for that change. The one person who had caused her to break down in the Great Hall this morning.

Marcus Flint, Falcons Chaser extraordinaire, was engaged.

Nabs · 09-03-2006, 08:15 PM

Drabble #38 - House elf

Katie Bell watched Hermione knitting in the corner and scrunched up her nose in confusion. What the heck are those things supposed to be? Mittens? Hats? Tea-cosies for toy tea sets?

“Ron…what do you think Hermione is doing?” She asked the young Weasley beside her.

Ron shook his head incredulously and told her, “She’s knitting hats for the house-elves to pick up when they clean.”

Katie was torn between laughter and indignation. The elves wouldn’t like that, but yet…it was just too funny to think of.

That night, she picked up all the hats and locked them in her trunk.

Nabs · 09-03-2006, 08:24 PM

Drabble #39 - History of Magic

Professor Binns passed through her as she stood in the doorway.

“Miss Bunnet, you are late. Once again.”

She almost missed the words as she was fighting off the icy feeling he had caused when he walked through her.

“Take your seat, Miss Dipper.”

Katie stuck her tongue out at the ghost’s back and took a seat. History of Magic was a dead bore (haha!) and dead old Binns insisted on droning on in that monotone of his. It was no wonder she was late everyday.

Besides, waiting behind the hunchback’s statue to spy on Oliver was way more interesting.

Drabble #40 - Ignore

First year :

Katie Bell watched the Quidditch Captain soaring above her head in wonder. He was so wonderful.

Second year :

She tried out for the team, hoping that he would notice her. She made the team…but just because she was better than the rest.

Third year :

He was too busy hating Flint and Malfoy to talk to her.

Fourth year :

His final year. He only cared for Quidditch.

Fifth year :

He was gone. She was left alone.

Sixth year :

She’d been passed up as captain.

Seventh year :

She shouted out “Stop ignoring me!”

Nabs · 09-03-2006, 08:53 PM

Drabble #41 - Mooch

Everyone wondered why Katie didn’t use her connections to get what she wanted. What she wanted being a contract with one of the top Quidditch teams in the league. And her connections being the ex-boyfriend, Oliver Wood, and the husband, Marcus Flint.

Marcus never questioned the reason behind her actions, knowing that it would offend her. But her ex (also her friend, still) had no such tact. Or brains. Call it what you like.

When asked, “Why don’t you let Marcus intimidate them to hire you?”

She had burst out angrily, “Cos I’m not a useless moocher like your wife!”

Nabs · 09-03-2006, 09:04 PM

Drabble #42 - Quell

In an attempt to quell her hunger late one night, Katie snuck out of the common room and made her way to the kitchens.

She found the corridor with food paintings easily enough; she could find it blindfolded. But a surprise she did not want waited inside.

One Marcus Flint was perched on a chair, eating a sandwich and ice-cream while joking with the house-elves. Who seemed to adore him.

She joined him on a whim, and ended up having a pleasant time.

Back in bed she realized one thing : In quelling one hunger, she now wanted something else.

Nabs · 09-03-2006, 09:10 PM

Drabble #43 - Fearful

Fear. An emotion Marcus Flint was not overly familiar with. But for the past few years, that had changed.

Every morning he woke up, thinking fearfully that today was the day Katie would change her mind.

Every time he saw her, fear gripped his heart as he thought that he could hurt her. Or she could hurt him.

Every time he said goodbye to her, he feared that time would be the real thing.

Every night he went to sleep, he feared that tomorrow she would leave him.

Now as she walked down the aisle, fear was his best man.

Nabs · 09-03-2006, 09:16 PM

Drabble #44 - Vex

Dear diary,

One thing that really vexes me is the fact that that giant, annoying, troublesome TROLL won’t leave me alone. There are 6 other players on the Gryffindor team, why can’t he be normal and trip Potter in the hallways?

Every time I step out of a classroom, he’s stalking me and throwing insults at me. Doesn’t the boy understand that he doesn’t intimidate me?!

Vexed,
Katie.

Marcus sat brooding in the dungeons. Katie used to merely dislike him, but now she plain hated his guts. Didn’t she understand that he was protecting her from Malfoy, Higgs and Pucey?
