Katie & Oliver: is true love wrong?
It was a normal day for Gryffindor Quidditch captain, Oliver Wood. Getting up at five in the morning to work on game tactics even though it was the first day of term - the second of September. The Quidditch season hadn't even started in Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Although something out of place did happen that day. When he arrived in the common room after a peaceful six hour night's sleep, to devise a game plan for his final year of school, he found Katie Bell - his youngest chaser - sitting on the big, scarlet sofa in front of the fire.
"Bell? What are you doing down here?" He asked curiously as he sat next to her on the sofa.
"Oliver Wood. Long time, no see. Still a Quidditch maniac, getting up at silly o'clock." Katie stated. Looking him in the eye. He was transfixed by her beautiful brown eyes. As was she with his amazing brown eyes. Oliver blushed slightly.
"Yeah. Forever and always." Oliver replied. He smiled at Katie. He knew it was wrong, he was almost eighteen and she was almost fifteen but he really liked her. He was also her Quidditch captain. It was her fourth year at Hogwarts and his seventh.
"Why are you so crazy about Quidditch?" Katie asked curiously.
"I don't know really. I just love the game, it's tactical and exciting. It's also risky which gives you the adrenalin rush. Surely you feel that when playing." Oliver explained.
"Yeah i suppose your right. Did you see the dementors on the train yesterday?" Katie said completely changing the subject.
"Aye, nasty things those dementors. Did they affect you?" Oliver replied with a hint of unusual concern.
"I did almost pass out but luckily it went away" Katie said, shivering a the thought of the cloaked figure towering over her.
"What did they make you relive? if you don't mind me asking." Oliver asked getting more concerned.
"I don't really want to talk about it. Sorry" Katie said, sounding as though she had a lump in her throat.
"Ok don't worry. I understand" Oliver told her. A tear began to roll down her cheek. Oliver immediately hugged her. It was unnusual, he didn't hug anyone. He saw her reaction although she hugged back. He smiled at a teary Katie.
"You don't usually hug people" Katie stated.
"Well, i thought you needed a hug, so i gave you one" Oliver said as he looked from her to the fire then back to her again. Nervously. He smiled at her and she smiled back.
