Hello all!
Here is chapter 8 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.
Once again, thanks to SnapesPet30 for the kind
review. I’m glad Dumbledore comes across
exactly as I intended.

Chapter 8: Does Kiara Like Charlie?
Once again, Kiara’s summer
passed quickly. She spent much of it in
the company of her friends. She
exchanged frequent letters with Charlie, as well as the other team members. They all wondered who their new Keeper would
be, the last one having just graduated from Hogwarts. Kiara’s friends, Rosie, Melanie, Cordelia,
Wendy, and Eugenie, often teased her about the frequent letters from
Charlie. All five of them had a crush on
either him or Bill and they couldn’t believe that Kiara didn’t. To them, her protests were nothing more than
her attempts to keep her ‘true’ feelings hidden. Kiara, for her part, couldn’t quite
understand it. Charlie was very nice,
quite good-looking, in great physical shape thanks to Quidditch, and also
smart. She knew many girls at school did
have a crush on him, and on Bill, and she couldn’t figure out why she didn’t.
“He’s one of my best friends,” she thought to herself. “Maybe that’s
it. You don’t have crushes on your best
friends.” With that comfortably settled,
Kiara went about getting herself ready for her fourth year at Hogwarts. The train ride was delayed this year thanks
to a large flock of sheep on the track, not too far from Hogsmeade, causing
them to arrive nearly an hour late. Even
the Sorting Hat must have somehow understood that they were all very hungry, as
it went through the sorting procedure unusually quickly.
Once at school, Kiara settled into her fourth year routine quickly. She was particularly happy to be back in
Potions class, both the regular and the advanced. Every so often, a sudden, bright smile from
her nearly elicited a response from Snape, though he continued to maintain that
he did not like any of his students and was merely proud of Kiara’s
potion-making abilities.
When the Quidditch season began, the
Gryffindor team held their tryouts for the Keeper position. There were several hopefuls, but by far the
best was Oliver Wood, who was in his second year. They felt that with a bit of practice, he’d
be even better than their previous Keeper had been. Once again, they won many of their
games. Kiara, when she wasn’t with her
five friends, spent most of her free time with the Gryffindor team
members. Her friends continued to tease
her about Charlie, convinced that Kiara sat in on so many team meetings just to
be near him. For her part, Kiara made an
effort to watch Charlie, as well as several other boys, to see whether or not
there were any who interested her in a boyfriend sort of way. There were several with whom she got along
fairly well and liked as friends, but she did not seem to have romantic
feelings for any of them.
“Ok, well maybe I’m just not old enough yet,” she told her friends one
day at lunch, “I mean, not all fourteen year old girls have boyfriends.”
“Yes, but you’re one of the prettiest girls in the school,” Wendy
replied, “There are any number of guys who’d love to have you as their
girlfriend.” Kiara had blossomed
during the last couple years. Her figure
had curves, instead of straight lines, although she was still petite. Her hair was very long, reaching below her
hips. It was still pale blonde, and it
always looked soft and shiny. Her eyes
were big and luminous and, since she was very rarely angry, usually a deep lavender
colour, framed by long lashes that were several shades darker than her hair.
“Well, I guess they’ll just have to wait, won’t they,” Kiara said with a
smile, “I mean, I haven’t got the foggiest clue as to
who I might eventually want to date. I
guess maybe I haven’t found the ‘right’ one yet.” The girls grumbled good-naturedly as they got
up to go to their next classes. Without
realizing it, Kiara glanced up towards the front of the Great Hall. The other girls had already turned to go, but
Cordelia noticed. She thought at first
that Kiara had glanced to the head table, but realised that it was much more
likely that it was at one of the boys sitting further down at the Gryffindor
table, so she didn’t say anything, preferring to wait until she could figure
out who it was that had caught Kiara’s eye.
Over the course of several months, Cordelia kept a close eye on Kiara,
catching her glancing towards the front of the Great Hall several times. She was able to scratch several boys off her
list of ‘suspects’, as sometimes they sat at the opposite end of the
table. By the end of the year, only six
boys were left on the list, including Charlie, plus the professors at the head
table whom Cordelia immediately dismissed, even the two youngest ones. Of the six boys, two were graduating, so
Cordelia decided to wait until September before continuing her
observations. On the train home, she
decided that her new campaign would be to watch Kiara around each of the
remaining four boys and see her reactions.

Kiara and Charlie? He’s a great catch and he’s only two years
older than her………
