Hello all!
Here is chapter 10 for your reading pleasure. I own none of JKR’s
characters, more’s the pity. Kiara, her parents, and anyone not
recognizable from the books are my own creations. I’m making no money off this, so please don’t sue me.
Thanks again to the lovely people who reviewed. Much appreciated!

Chapter 10: Who Does Kiara Like?
That summer, Kiara
was a bit relieved to note that her friends had decided to leave her alone
about Charlie and the other boys. She
exchanged several letters with Charlie and discovered that instead of becoming
a professional Quidditch player, Charlie had decided to go to Romania to study
dragons. In mid-July, along with her
usual letter from Hogwarts, Kiara received her OWL marks. She did extremely well in Potions, getting
top mark in both the regular class and the advanced. She also got O’s in Herbology, and Care of
Magical Creatures. Her marks in her
other classes were just high enough that she was able to continue her studies
towards becoming a Potions researcher, possibly even a professor.
On September first, she met her friends at King’s Cross. They spent the train ride and the next
several weeks watching Kiara closely.
After nearly a month had gone by, they determined that Kiara didn’t seem
to be pining for Charlie. They decided
that the final name on the list must be the boy Kiara was interested in.
When the Quidditch season began again, Kiara,
now the senior member on the team, called for tryouts. With the exception of Keeper and one Chaser
who was in seventh year, the team needed players to fill all the other
positions, since Kiara had decided not to play any more. She wanted to spend more time doing Potions
work. Kiara named the Keeper, Oliver
Wood, now in fourth year, as Captain, then the two set about picking new team
members. Fred and George Weasley, now in
their second year, both tried out and worked so well as a team that they were
given the Beater positions. Alison Spinnet’s younger sister, Alicia, took over her sister’s
former position of Chaser. The other
Chaser was Angelina Johnson. Both girls
were in second year. A seventh year boy
was picked as Seeker. He was nowhere
near as good as Charlie, but was the only one who tried out for the
position.
Several months passed with Kiara’s friends
still working to figure out who it was that Kiara kept glancing at. By Christmas, they were able to rule out the
boy whose name was the last one on Cordelia’s list. The girls were a little disappointed but
didn’t allow the setback to stop them.
They decided to wait. They’d been
required to have dress robes that year, but as yet, had not had an occasion to
wear them to, so they decided that an event that required dress robes might
just give them the clues they needed.
Soon the Christmas
break had begun and they were getting ready to leave. That morning, as Kiara was dragging her trunk
down the stairs to the entrance hall, she felt a pair of strong hands lift it
out of her grasp. Startled, she looked
up into the amused face of Professor Snape.
“Really Miss Connon,
we must work on those levitating spells if at sixth year you are still dragging
your trunk by hand,” he said, still amused.
Kiara merely nodded, astonished.
Amusement was not a look she had ever seen on the Potions Master’s
face. For his part, he almost grinned at
her bewilderment and carried her trunk out to the waiting carriages. Bemused, Kiara followed. Snape put her trunk on one of the carriages,
nodded slightly to her, and strode back into the castle. Kiara climbed into the carriage and found the
girls waiting for her, their expressions a mixture of astonishment and
amusement.
“Hey Kiara,” Rosie
began with a grin, “I think Professor Snape fancies you.” Kiara snapped out of the near-trance she was
in to answer.
“Nonsense,
Rosie. He probably just didn’t want to
be saddled with having to deal with a student who’d missed the carriages.” Kiara sighed, “I do need to work on mastering
those blasted levitating spells though.
Would be nice not to have to drag my trunk everywhere.”
“I still think he
fancies you,” Rosie persisted. “Every
normal red-blooded man has noticed you.”
“That’s just it,”
Melanie interjected, grinning, “Most people don’t think he’s anything even
resembling ‘normal’.” All the girls
giggled at that. They spent the carriage
and train ride chatting and giggling.
Rosie persisted in saying that Professor Snape fancied Kiara. She and the others spent a good portion of
the trip teasing their friend.

There doesn’t seem to be a Christmas Ball, so what event might warrant
dress robes? And those girls are still at it………Kiara
doesn’t really seem to mind, though.
