This story is based off RP I did on Twitter with KatieTheChaser. We've both been inactive for quite a while now and I went back the other day and reread this RP realizing how awesome it really was. It's not the exact story and is in no way canon. If she happens to read this I'd like to let her know it was probably my favorite RP ever. Even if we never got to finish it, so I decided I would in a story. So enjoy.
Chapter 1
It all started in Oliver Wood's seventh year at Hogwarts, he was Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and had everything he could hope for. When he returned from his summer break, arriving at Hogwarts he began to realize that this would come to be the last time he would be at Hogwarts. He loved this place, not only was it where he met his true love (which was Quidditch of course), but it was where he had spent most of his life up to that point. Unlike most other students it was home to him. At this moment Oliver decided to make the most out of this year promising himself not only was it going to be his favorite year at Hogwarts, but also his most successful. He would do everything that he can to make the most out of this year. He was so lost in his thoughts that he bumped into someone that he didn't recognize on his way from the Hogwarts Express to the Great Hall.
"Oh, excuse me." Oliver said, continuing to walk.
"Oi! Oliver!" He heard from behind him, "You really aren't even going to say hello to your star chaser are you?"
Oliver quickly whirled around realizing that it was Katie Bell that he had bumped into. "K-Katie? Is that really you?" Oliver asked.
"Of course it is you bleeding moron." She responded giggling slightly.
Oliver had not recognized her at all. Seeing how Oliver was a seventh year and Katie was only a fourth year he had never really given her any attention except for on the Quidditch pitch. But something was different about her now, Oliver couldn't put his finger on it but she had definitely matured over the summer. "You look incredible…" He absent mindedly blurted out before quickly realizing what he had said and blushing.
Katie was also blushing, "Th-Thank you." She said. They both sat their awkwardly before Katie saw Angelina and Alicia off in the distance, "It was nice seeing you Oliver, I'll see you soon okay?"
She said starting heading off in the direction of her friends. "Oi! Katie!" Oliver called out. Katie turned around looking at him. "I assume I'll see you at tryouts on Saturday, right?" He asked. Katie then grinned nodding her head enthusiastically, before running off and joining her friends whispering and giggling excitedly.
Oliver sat there in a daze, confused at what had just happened. Had he been flirting with Katie? He had always just thought of her as a teammate and never anything more, but when he saw her Oliver had felt something he'd never really felt before. "I'm attracted to Katie Bell…" He muttered underneath his breath, before shaking his head chuckling lightly and heading towards the castle.
When Oliver arrived in the Great Hall a few moments later he scanned the Gryffindor table searching for someone to sit with. While looking up and down the table he spotted Harry Potter, sitting with Ron Weasley, his sister Ginny, and Hermione Granger. He continued looking until he spotted Fred and George, and began walking in their direction taking a seat next to them.
"Hello mate!" George said. "How was your summer Oliver? Eventful?" Fred asked waggling his eyebrows.
Oliver smiled, "Now what do you mean by eventful?" Oliver asked.
"You know what I mean, did you have any summer flings?" Fred said. "Find yourself a good quaffle or bludger to settle down with?" Finished George jokingly.
Oliver laughed, before shaking his head saying, "You two are just full of jokes aren't you?" Fred and George both laughed high-fiving one another. "What about you two how was your summer?" Oliver questioned.
"Well," They responded in unison, "We actually did find ourselves a summer fling." At this exact moment Alicia, Angelina, and Katie walked up to where the boys were sitting. Angelina sitting next to George, Alicia next to Fred.
Oliver raised his eyebrows, "Wait you two are with… those two?" He asked a bit baffled. All four of them nodded at the same moment. George wrapping his arm around Angelina and Fred wrapping his around Alicia.
That's when Oliver noticed Katie still standing, because there was no room left on that side of the bench. "Katie there is a spot next to me if you'd like to walk around the table." Oliver said warmly. Katie then smiled and nodded, starting to walk around the long table. "When did this happen?" Oliver asked.
Fred looked at Alicia and responded, "July right? You know how bad I am with time Alicia." She nodded confirming that it had begun in July.
Oliver then looked to George, "And the same for you two?" He said motioning toward George and Angelina. They both nodded again.
Oliver sat there shaking his head while Katie had finally walked all the way around the table and took a seat next to Oliver. "How long have you known about these relationships?" Oliver asked her, gesturing to the couples across from him. "I've known for may-" She was interrupted by Dumbledore standing up and beginning his normal welcoming speech. The rest of the evening went by as one might expect. First the sorting, then the feast, and then all of the students were sent to their common rooms where the first years would be helped by their Prefects. Oliver hung a flyer on Gryffindor Common Room's bulletin board announcing that Quidditch tryouts would be held that Saturday. He then went to bed thinking of the day, and maybe even thinking about Katie a little bit.
Thank you so much for reading, chapter 2 is now up! Please review and let me know what I need to do to improve!
