Chapter Twenty-three
Much Ado About Nothing

Saturday, April 24, 2004

Jamie watched, as the large tawny owl seemed to fly out of the rising sun and then across the castle grounds on its way to deliver a letter. Spring had arrived at Hogwarts in all its splendid glory. The snows of winter were but a recollection as flowers adorned the lush green castle grounds.

It was a gorgeous morning. Jamie slipped on her socks and running shoes and then hesitated. If only I could run like this. She shrugged her shoulders in disgust and searched her drawers for a pair of shorts and her running bra. Jamie started to put on the shorts and then stopped, turned off by their tight fit. Instead she put on a mini skirt and then stood staring at the restricting running bra. She hated how it literally smashed her breasts against her chest like a straight jacket. Call her crazy, but she loved the feeling of running naked and her breasts bouncing with each long stride. She searched disgustedly in her drawers and finally decided on a loose fitting mini top.

Amanda had begged off running for the morning, so she ran down the stairs to meet Alex. She had no more than entered the common room when Alex came bounding down the steps followed by Randy and Matt. Alex took one look at Jamie and said, 'Aren't you running this morning?'

'Yes, I'm running!' she practically shouted.

'Jamie,' Alex said calmly. How can you exercise dressed like that? You'll be exposed. You may as well exercise nude.'

'And would you please explain what would be so awful about that? Who exactly would I be hurting in I ran in the buff this morning?' Jamie angrily asked. 'It's not fair. Why do I always have to be so uncomfortable?'

At that moment Caitlin enter the Common Room wearing a pair of baggy short shorts and a mini top that just covered her nipples. 'What's not fair?'

'That you and I have to dress to exercise and run,' Jamie answered.

Caitlin looked wonderingly at Jamie, 'I've never been naked outside. What's it like, Jamie?'

'It's the most exhilarating feeling in the world. It's so hard to put into words, but once you've experienced the sun and air on your body, you never want to wear clothes again.'

'I'd love to be able to do that,' Caitlin answered, 'but as for now, I think Alex is correct. Mum and Dad will have a fit if you exercise in that. Everything will show!'

'Not that you have anything to show, but what you're wearing displays everything too, Caitlin.' Randy added.

Caitlin looked at Randy with daggers in her eyes, as she turned red. 'Thanks for noticing, Randy.'

'Caitlin, I think you're beautiful, but in defense of Randy, you do show everything in that outfit. When you lay back during sit-ups, your upper chest is wholly exposed and your private area is fully on display up the legs of the shorts.' Matt stated.

'Why didn't you guys ever tell me this before?

Matt looked questioningly at Randy and then answered. 'We thought you knew and didn't care. After all you are a nudist. The only one that really gets a show is the person holding you for the exercises, and that's always Randy or I.'

Randy nodded his head in agreement.

Alex looked at Jamie's skirt and then her top. 'I don't think that will be the case with you, Jamie. I think everyone there will see you. You may not mind, but Professor Granger and Professor Potter most definitely will be upset.'

Jamie looked disgustedly around the room as the others agreed with Alex. 'Okay, wait for me while I go change.' Jamie quickly ran up to her dorm and in a few moments revoltingly returned in her shorts and running bra. 'Caitlin, aren't you going to change?'

'Why? As Randy said, I have the breasts of a five year old. It's no big deal if anyone sees them, and as for my pubic area, only the holder sees that when I do sit-ups. You don't mind holding my ankles today; do you Matt?'

Randy knew he had screwed up and that Caitlin was angry with him. He could only watch as Matt shook his head indicating that he most certainly didn't mind.

With the warm weather, the group's numbers had once again increased. Even Ginny had taken up the morning routine. The big surprise was that she had partnering with Draco for the exercising, and they actually seemed to be talking and getting along.

As soon as Hermione saw Jamie, she knew something was bothering her. Jamie's ever-present smile was missing this morning. 'Is something the matter, Jamie?' she inquired.

At first Jamie shook her head no, but then said, 'I've just been frustrated lately. There's so much to study for the O.W.L.s; it seems that studying is all I have time for anymore.' She looked at both Harry and Hermione and whispered low. 'What really has me aggravated this morning is that I'm forced to dress for running. I really wish there was a way I could do this unclothed.'

Hermione looked as if she was about to make a comment, but Harry interrupted her. 'We best get started. You have to help Professor Snape with interviews this morning.'

Jamie looked at Hermione questioningly.

'The Headmaster has narrowed the field to four candidates for instructor of Care of Magical Creatures next year and he would like my input.' Hermione said, answering Jamie unasked question. 'Let's get started, everyone. Pair off.'

In a matter of moments everyone had a partner except Emily and Randy. Randy looked at Emily and said, 'It looks like you and I are the only two without partners.'

Emily responded, 'Yeah, looks like you're stuck with the little kid.'

Randy replied, 'You certainly don't look like a little kid to me, and I'd never consider it being stuck.'

Emily blushed deeply as Caitlin, who had heard the conversation, irately turned and grabbed Matt's hand.

* * * * * *

Harry slowly paced the corridor that led to the staircase for the Headmaster's office. Hermione had assured him that the interviews of the candidates would be over by eleven o'clock; it was now eleven-thirty. He looked up as he finally heard someone descending the staircase. Harry couldn't believe his eyes. It wasn't because the woman was wearing knee high boots with an extremely short skirt, or that her blouse was cut quite low, exposing an inordinate amount of her chest. It was because the young woman was Katie Bell, but certainly not the same Katie Bell he had dated in the summer prior to his seventh year.

Katie ran to Harry as soon as she saw him, wrapping her arms around him and kissing him firmly on the lips. Harry timidly returned her kiss. Katie sensed Harry's hesitancy and broke the embrace. 'Harry it's so good to see you again. I just got done talking to Hermione. I'm so glad you both finally woke up to the realization that you were meant for each other.'

At first Harry was at a loss for words. 'Katie, you're looking marvelous. What brings you to Hogwarts?'

'I was interviewing for the position of Care of Magical Creatures instructor.'

Harry was flabbergasted. 'I don't understand. You were headed to Auror training the last time I saw you. What happened?'

Katie shrugged her shoulders. 'After the first day of training, I had doubts, but gave it a month. I wanted to follow in my father's footsteps, but I just wasn't cut out for it. For about three months I just worked with my Dad in the Muggle world, and then I decided to pursue my love of animals. I worked as an apprentice in a Fantastic Beasts Clinic for a year. The administrator was so impressed with my work that he arranged for me to attend two years of advanced training.'

Katie blushed with pride. 'Harry, I finished with honors, and at the top of the class. The Dean of the Academy for the Study and Preservation of Magical Beasts personally recommended me to the Hogwarts Board of Directors.'

'That's terrific Katie. I'm glad you're pursuing a career in a field you actually get pleasure from. How many candidates did they interview and when will you find out if you got the position?'

'I was the last of four candidates they interviewed today.' Katie's face was beaming. 'They told me the position is mine.'

;That;s terrific,; Harry said smiling broadly. ;Welcome to the staff. When do you start?;

;Well, Charlie is leaving the last day of classes. I have to prepare for Autumn, so I;ll probably move in the beginning of August.; Katie looked at her watch. ;I have to be going Harry. It was wonderful seeing you again. I;m looking forward to being on the staff with you and Hermione.;

Before Harry could say anything Katie threw her arms around him and stretched to kiss him once again. This time she kissed his cheek, but Harry still blushed intensely. It was at that split second that Draco and Ginny turned the corner. They both stopped and stared as Katie kissed Harry and then dashed off.

;Potter, was that Katie Bell?; Draco asked.

Harry continued to blush as he simply replied, ;Yes.;

;Wow!; Draco responded. ;The years certainly have been kind to her. You were busy snogging and probably didn;t notice but she has great legs that end up making one beautiful ass out of themselves. Her cheeks were half exposed as she stretched to kiss you.;

;And of course you had to notice that.; Ginny said as she shot daggers in Draco;s direction. ;Harry, what was Katie doing here and why were you kissing her? I thought you were marrying Hermione in less than a month?;

Harry looked angrily at the two. 'She was kissing me. I wasn't kissing her. Besides she was just excited. Katie was just hired as Charlie's replacement.'

'Well, that will certainly have a positive affect on the landscape,' Draco said in his best sexist manor.

'Men! You're all pigs. And you, Draco Malfoy, are the worst.' Ginny turned and walked quickly toward the stairs.

Draco ran after her and put his hand on her shoulder, just as Headmaster Snape and Hermione descended the stairs. 'Red I was just pulling your chain.'

Severus first looked at Ginny and then at Draco. His face had the strangest look, a combination of anger and hurt, but mostly fear. He turned and swiftly ascended the stairs.

Ginny rushed past Hermione and followed the Headmaster up the stairs. 'Wait, Severus. Please, we have to talk.'

Hermione first looked at Harry and then at Draco before saying, 'Do I want to know what's going on here?'

'Depends,' Draco answered smugly. Does it bother you if your future husband snogs sexy girls in the halls of Hogwarts?' Draco walked off leaving Hermione staring at a pale Harry.

'Well, Harry?' Hermione asked as she stood tapping her toe; hands on her hips.

'It wasn't really anything,' Harry said nervously. 'Katie was just happy about getting the job. She gave me a kiss on the cheek and a hug as she left. Of course, Ginny and Draco picked that very time to come round the corner.'

'Are you sure Harry? She told me that if she saw you she was going to give you a big wet one on the lips.' Hermione laughed. 'Harry, I love you. You do realize that if you ever cheat on me, I'll know it instantly. You have the guiltiest look on your face.'

'Katie told you she was going to kiss me?'

'Yes, I told her you would probably be waiting down here for me. Harry, she was just kidding around. Besides I trust you. What did you think of the way she was dressed?'

'That outfit makes Jamie look like a conservative dresser. I know Draco approved.'

'Severus didn't. After we told her she had the job, he commented on her attire. Said he hoped she would dress more appropriately for classes come next Autumn.'

'What did Katie say?'

'She said that how she dresses has nothing to do with her teaching ability. That she intends to dress as she pleases and if he doesn't approve perhaps he should withdraw the offer.'

'Wow! I bet Severus lost it.'

'Actually, he didn't. He backed down. Said it wasn't a condition of employment, just a suggestion. Harry, I'm glad she is going to be teaching here. I always liked her, even if I didn't show it when you two were dating. She's feisty!'

Harry simply nodded his head in agreement.

'Harry, what was that all about with Ginny and Draco.'

'You've got me. Two months ago they were barely speaking to each other and today it seemed like they were fighting over Draco's appreciation of Katie's outfit. It looked like Ginny was upset. Speaking of upset, did you see the look on Severus's face? Why was he so disturbed over Draco and Ginny arguing?'

'Severus has been rather protective of Ginny since her father died,' Hermione said. 'I don't think he wants to see her hurt by Draco again.'

Harry didn't argue the point, but he didn't think the look on Severus' face had been one of a concerned father figure.

* * * * * *

Jamie paced the floor as Caitlin and Emily glared at each other over the chessboard.

'You realize you have to make a move sometime today, I hope?' Caitlin said in her bitchiest voice.

'Give me a chance to study the board; will you?' Emily answered, obviously irritated. 'I didn't complain when you took forever to make your last move. What is your problem today, anyway? You've been nasty to me all morning. What did I do to you?'

'Listen to her, Jamie,' said Caitlin. 'Little Miss Innocent. You know perfectly well what you did. Don't tell me you weren't trying to put a move on Randy.'

'Oh, is that why you're treating me like crap? I didn't put a move on anyone. Neither Randy nor I had a partner. Everyone else was paired. What did you expect us to do? Besides, you have to make up your mind sooner or later anyway. It's not fair that you keep stringing them both along. Wizardry law doesn't allow polygamy.'

'I'm not stringing anyone along. They're just friends. I don't want a boyfriend yet. I'm only eleven,' Caitlin responded sharply.

'No. You don't want a boyfriend. You want two of them. You're the one that fought with Randy and he's the one that paid me the compliment. I didn't do anything but show up to run. You have no reason to treat me like I'm some sort of low life that is trying to steal your guy. What makes you even think I'm interested in him?'

'You think I'm blind. I saw the two of you talking after we got done running.'

'Will you two knock it off?' Jamie yelled. 'Studying for the O.W.L.s is hard enough without having to listen to you two constantly bickering. Give it a break. Neither one of you is even in your teens yet. Boys should be the least of your worries.'

Emily and Caitlin sat in startled silence. Neither one of them was accustomed to Jamie being angry or yelling. Jamie walked to the window and rubbed her face as she stared out. It was a beautiful spring day and she had waste most of it inside. She had spent the majority of the last two months studying every waking hour and she needed a break. Suddenly she had a brilliant idea.

'Harry and Hermione will be back shortly. Tell them I needed a break and decided to go for a run down by the Quidditch Pitch.'

Jamie went to her room to dress as both girls abandoned their offended chess pieces and followed her. 'Can I come with you?' Emily asked.

Jamie put on her socks and sneakers and then slipped on her robes. Her shorts and running bra remained lying on her bed. 'Not this time. I love you guys, but I just need to get away for a while.'
