So new story, this is my first katie out of hogwarts one. yep don't have much more to write up here other the like read and enjoy.
Disclamer thingy, i own nothing other then like the main idea of the story line everything else belongs to the wonderful J.K.
After all of the things I had to live with during my last year at Hogwarts going out into the "real world" seemed like it would be a breeze. But after that slapped me in the face I was lucky to have a best friend like Alicia Spinnet.
She had graduated the year before me and was already the successful owner of a half muggle and half magical coffee and book shop. So she had a flat that had an extra room with no one to live in so when I started failing at life she opened up the room for me to live in.
For most of my days I would be home at our flat in muggle England watching TV or listening to random types of music dancing around. This day was no different from any other day. I was watching a football game in my sleeping shorts, they were boxer shorts with quaffles on them that I bought and wear to bed, and talking on the phone with Angelina who also lived in muggle England thus the conversation on the phone.
"I'm becoming pathetic Ange" I said after swallowing a spoon full of ice cream that I was eating out of the tub.
"How so? OH COME ON THAT WAS AN EASY SHOT!" Angelina asked and then yelled at a super easy shot that the guy on the football team missed.
"I sit at home in the clothes I slept in and watch football games yelling at the TV over the phone with you until Alicia calls me into work. WHERE'S THE WHISTLE! REF THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY A CARD! LOOK YOU CAN SEE HIS FOOT TRIPPING HIM" I answered
"Well you're still become part of the world. Soon you'll find you're niche and then you'll never have time to do these kinds of things. I only have time to do this when I have days were I can work at home." Angelina said. She worked designing new quidditch equipment and got days during the week where she did her work at her house.
Suddenly there was a beat on the phone. I asked Ange if she would hold on while I saw who else was calling me.
"Hello?" I asked hearing a busy background and then new who it was.
"Hey Kates its Alicia would you mind coming into work today, it's crazy in here." Alicia asked yelling over the chatter behind her.
"Sure, I'll be there in a couple minutes." I said
"Thank you so much! I'll see you soon" Alicia said and then hung up. So I went back to the line with Angelina.
"Hey Ange I have to go into the shop so I'll call you later." I grunted
'Ha okay have fun. I'll call the shop when the games over to tell you the ending score" she laughed.
"Oh you know I will!" I said sarcastically and then hung up the phone.
I waddled into my room and opened my closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and the black collared shirt with scarlet stripes down the sides and gold writing saying "Griffin Coffee House" on my left boob that Alicia made me wear when I was working and hopped into the shower quickly. I put my hair up into a messy bun put a small bit of eye liner on, turned off the TV and headed to the coffee shop.
By the time I got there it was a mad house. I entered threw the muggle entrance and people where in a line halfway a crossed the room for pastries and even more were sitting down yelling that they still didn't get their coffee or that it was cold by the time they got it.
"Oh thank goodness you're here! This side is going to start a riot and because of that everyone is not calm enough to remember that they can use magic on the other side!" Alicia said panting in between words.
"I'll handle it, don't worry." I said and looked about the shop like I was waiting for someone to attack me.
I ran over to the magic side cast a spell to refill any coffee that needed it and then another spell to give everyone that wanted one a coffee and then a similar spell only with pastries.
"Okay now if only we could do this on the other side" I said jokingly to another girl that worked at the shop.
So I ran back to the muggle side and picked up and pitcher of coffee and a tray of cups and tried to maneuver threw the crowds of people and lines.
"Excuse me maim my coffee is cold" a lady behind me said so I picked up her cup put it on the try and poured another cup of coffee and handed it to her and while walking away said a spell to warm up the coffee she just gave me and handed it to a man yelling rudely that he didn't get a cup yet.
This is how I was running about the shop for quite some time. Then while I was talking to a lady at a table I felt someone pinch my bum behind me. I turned around to see a disgusting plump man with a smile on his face.
"Excuse me sir you would be best to keep your hands to yourself before I kick you out of the shop!" I said in a very stern voice.
"Oh now puppet, I'm just enjoying the service here. Apparently it's the only way that I can being that I'm still waiting for my coffee" He said in a rude almost mocking voice
"If you needed coffee you could have waited a few minutes and then asked politely and I would have giving you a cup." I said still speaking at a low but strong voice
"I'm not a patient fella there deary so I just took one for my self" He said with a wink.
"Do you see what this is" I said holding the pitcher of coffee in front of his face. 'It is about eighteen cups worth of steaming hot coffee and I am not at all afraid to poor it right into your lap!" I said getting a little bit louder the more I got annoyed.
"You wouldn't be wanting to do that or you'll lose your job there puppet" the other man at the table said to me.
"Actually I won't seeing as I'm not really employed here, my best friend owns this place and needed me to come in and help because people like you are making it hard for the rest of the staff here to work correctly and there's way to many bloody people here!" I said getting louder again.
"Well then go ahead and poor it in me lap deary, I like having hot steamy things in my lap" The first man said with a laugh and I just stood there trying to calm down and walk away but when I turned to walk away he grabbed my waste and put me on his lap.
"See I don't mind having hot things on my lap at all." The man said and I struggled to get up spilling a cup of coffee that I had in my hands onto his large stomach. When he felt the coffee he pushed me up and I ran up to find Alicia before he did.
"Alicia! This man was tormenting me and he was holding me on his lap and when I tried to get up I spilled coffee on him so if he comes to complain he totally disserved it!" I said and then stormed off into the magical side where it was nice and calm and sat down at a table that was cleaning itself.
"Bloody muggles" I complained loudly.
"You of pure blood?" An old man asked me while sitting down at my table.
"No actually I've half-blood and was raised a muggle. I really don't hate them just the ones in that room." I said putting my head down on the table.
"Hmm well then you wouldn't happen to be Miss Katie Bell would you?" the man asked. I shot up from my head down position and looked at him strangely.
"I'm the coach of Puddlemore Untied and a team member had a photo of you playing quidditch on the Gryffindor quidditch team and since I'm in the market for a new chaser I decided I would find you and give you the opportunity to try out for my team.
I stared at him uncomfortably for awhile trying to figure out if he was just a creepy man that stalked me or if he really was what he said. He handed me a business card with a date and time written on the back.
"Just come on over for a try out if you decide that you want to" he said and then turned around to leave.
"Oh and I can promise that if you make the team that you won't have to deal with any of the muggles in THAT room" he turned around to face me again and laughed.
I sat there and stared at the card for a good amount of time and then laughed to myself out load causing some people near by my to look at me strangely and then I stood up put the card in my pocket and then returned to save Alicia's sanity.
"Hey sorry about that, just can't stand people like that" I said when finding her
"Its okay I kicked them out, and luckily five more tables left with them."
"I don't see why those kinds of people would come into a coffee shop anyways"
"The pubs must be closed today or something because this is just crazy how many people are here today."
"Hey this guy came up to me and told me he's seen photos of me playing… 'football' and handed me this" I said handing her the card with the date on the back
"Katie this is amazing! Are you going to try out?" she asked staring at the card in shock
"I don't know, do you really think that I could make it?"
"Katie people don't normally have coaches come up to them and ask them to try out for a professional team let alone one of the best teams in England!"
"Well that's your opinion."
"Still you have the chance of a life time Kates, don't just stand there and let it pass you by like I have."
"This is completely different from that situation Alicia"
"No not really! Just trust me and take the opportunity that you have while you still have a chance."
See last year Fred and George Weasley moved someplace to run more of their shops. Alicia and George have been hinting that they were in love with each other for as long as I can remember. Then right before the twins moved George flipped out and told Alicia that he loved her but he was sick of trying so hard for nothing and that perhaps him moving was a good time to get over her. So he left and we haven't herd from him since. Fred still writes to Angelina from time to time but never really gives away that much information, and in his last letter he kind of hinted that George was not living with him anymore. The point to this story is that since this event Alicia has been one of those take chances while you still can people and is always yelling at me when I let things pass me by.
"Well things have cleared out so you can go home now if you want" Alicia said pulling me out of my flash back
"You sure that you don't need me?"
"Yeah go ahead"
"You want to go out tonight?"
"No I think I'm just going to sleep tonight, I've had a hard day today"
"Yeah I can imagine"
"Well call the flat if you change your mind because Ange and I are planning on going clubbing"
"Alright but I'm sure I won't change my mind"
At that I headed out the door and back to our flat. I called up Angelina and rummaged threw my closet to look for a cute enough outfit to wear while when went out tonight.
"Yeah so Alicia isn't coming tonight; she had a hectic day and just wants to relax." I said to Angelina over the phone.
"She's crazy, if she had a stressful day that's even more reason to come along and have a good time"
"Yeah I guess so but she seemed like she just didn't want to come and I didn't feel like bugging her about it"
I got changed and we
stopped by at the coffee shop really quickly because Angelina was
determined to get Alicia to come with us.
"But I don't have
anything to wear" Alicia said thinking this was a good excuse
"Well I brought you something to wear!" Angelina said handing her some clothes
"And there's make up in the bag too so you're completely covered when it comes to looks" she finish
We waited and soon Alicia came out of the bathroom ready to go she closed the store and the three of us Apparated to a club in London. It was a hit club in Diagon alley so it was all young witches and wizards in there so most of the lights were magical and you just felt more comfortable there.
I was dancing with as many boys as possible because that's how clubbing with Angelina and I is, we have a competition to see who can dance with more boys. Then when we see each other we yell out the number. Alicia normally is a wall flower when she comes but tonight she wanted in on the competition. When we all met at the bar she was winning by like five boys.
Once when I was dancing with this tall Italian boy a boy asked to cut in. Since I'm used to this I didn't really look at the boy who cut in I just kept on dancing.
"Well are you ever going to recognize me Katie Bell?" I herd the boy yell down at me.
I looked up and stopped dancing because I was so shocked.
"Oliver Wood!" I said realizing that I was dancing with my old quidditch captain.
"What are you doing here?" I asked
"Same thing you are, having competitions with my friends." He said laughingly and I looked at him strange.
"Not really I just saw Angelina awhile ago and she pointed me out to you and said that you wouldn't even care who I was because you two were competing." He said laughing at us.
"So I herd you're going to try out for a spot on the team?" he asked and it took me awhile because I had forgotten about the whole quidditch thing
"Oh yeah I'm not sure whether or not I want to try out. I didn't know that you were on the team…for Puddlemore right?" I said
"Yeah, I'm the one who told Henry about you" he said. Henry was the first name of the guy.
"Oh well thanks I guess." I said
"You better try out or I'll hunt you down and make you try out"
"Well you're determined aren't you?"
"Yeah well it took awhile for me to convince Henry that he should invite you to try out and if you don't even show up that would be bad for my chances at captain." He said with a smile
"Oh now I understand, you just needed someone to say was good and since I was the only one left from your glorious 'team wood' with out a job you figured that you would get me to try out to make you look good." I said as a matter of factly
"Yeah well that was until I saw you tonight, now I want you on the team to add some beauty to the team." He said dancing closer to me
"Oliver Wood are you hitting on me!" I said laughing at him
"Yeah sorry…I'm only a little drunk." He said laughing and stepping to dance farther away from me.
Suddenly Angelina was standing next to us.
"Katie we're going to go now because Alicia has to work early tomorrow." She said once she got my attention
"Yeah…I'll come too. I'll see you at the try outs Oliver" I said giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"I never said it was a bad thing that you were hitting on me" I whispered into his ear.
Once we were out of the club Angelina and Alicia started giggling about the fact that I was dancing with Oliver.
"I can't believe you were dancing with him! I always knew you two would some day end up together! Did you get his number?" Angelina said
"Whoa since when are he and I together I just danced with him, and no because I'm trying out for a spot on the Puddlemore Team so I'll see him then." I said all embarrassed like.
"What you didn't tell me about this!" Angelina said all offended
"Yeah well I wasn't thinking about actually trying out." I said…well it was true
"Aha! So you're trying out now that you know that Oliver's on the team?" Alicia asked
"Maybe" I said in a little voice
"I don't really blame you. I mean he doesn't look bad at all. Maybe being obsessed is good for you if that's what it makes you look like!" Angelina said.
So a few weeks passed and it was the day before my quidditch try out. So where was I? Why sitting on my couch watching football of course. I was cursing to myself that I was going to be to fat and out of shape to play quidditch again. When in reality I was freakishly skinny because I never really ate anything but ice cream, macaroni and cheese, and popcorn; never all in the same day. Still I was way to out of shape to be playing quidditch again.
"What are you doing home?" Alicia asked as she entered the door.
"Um…this is what I do every day… am I supposed to be someplace?" I asked curiously holding a spoon full of ice cream mid way to my mouth like I just got caught doing something I wasn't supposed to be.
"Yeah well I figured you would be out practicing for your try out tomorrow" She said and I groaned then continued eating my spoon full of ice cream and then put the lid back on the container, yes I was eating it straight from the container so what!
"Oliver was at the shop looking for you." She said putting a bag of groceries down on the counter. She had the afternoon off and went grocery shopping.
"Oh…that's strange..."
"I told him that you were probably off practicing someplace and gave him our address just incase he couldn't find you any where else. So I imagine he should be here any time soon." She said then grabbed the keys and headed towards the door.
"Oh and I'm going to a meeting so I wont be home until late" She said then laughed at my stance because I was standing in the same form that I was when she told me that Oliver was probably on his way over.
"I would probably get changed before he gets here." She laughed and then left the flat.
I ran into my room and grabbed a t-shirt and a pair of shorts that made it look like I had been out side running or something so he didn't think I was some lame fat kid… By the time I had my hair up in a pony tail I herd someone knocking at the door.
I opened the door and sure enough Oliver was standing there.
"I thought that you'd be out getting ready for tomorrow…come on didn't I teach you any better then that." He said laughing at my flat and how it was just a large TV with a big fluffy couch, a small kitchen with my ice cream melting on the counter, and a potted plant in the corner because I thought that part of the flat was lonely.
"See the thing is that you did teach me better, but then you graduated and I had four years to break the habit" I said with the cutest smile I could possibly make.
"And now I'm going to get you back into the habit." He said with his little smirk thing that he does right before he would make us practice some unnecessary play over and over again back in Hogwarts.
"Ugh…I remember that smile…and I never liked what came after it!" I said
"Do you own a broom?" He asked looking around the flat for one as he asked.
"No…I broke the one that I had in Hogwarts last year and never bought a new one."
"Well then first things first we need to go buy you one."
He locked my door and then said some spell and grabbed my arm. Next thing I know I'm standing in Diagon Alley.
We walked into a Sports store that I have never seen before and He walked right to the counter.
"Well you seem to know exactly what you're doing." I said trying to sound bratty
Before I know it he's handing me a Firebolt and paying the lady at the desk for it.
"You don't have to pay" I said in protest but then realized that I didn't have my wallet.
"Yeah well I'm going to" He said and then we walked out side and once again he grabbed my arm and we were in a pitch.
"So let's see what miss doesn't need to practice can do" Oliver said throwing a quaffle at me.
"How do you keep pulling things out of no where?" I asked looking at the quaffle strangely.
"I'm not I walked over and got it out of the box" he pointed to a box containing all of the quidditch balls except was now missing a quaffle.
"You must just be distracted by something" he said with a cocky smile.
"Anyways get up to the hoops so I can show you that I don't have to worry about tomorrow!" I said wondering if I had been getting distracted by him and then mounted my broom and flew up to the center of the pitch.
"Alright now try your hardest to get it past me!" Oliver yelled from the hoops.
So I flew towards him as fast as I could, which was much faster then I had expected now that I was on a firebolt, and threw the quaffle at him. He tried to block it but he missed and it went right into the hoop behind him.
"Well I guess you didn't need much practice after all." He said rushing to catch the quaffle.
"Yeah well that and I also remembered everything that you do to guard so I just hit your weak spot." I said all intelligently
"Yeah that seems to be the case with everyone." He said looking at the spot that it had going in.
"Well just don't go to hit it away so fast there." I said and then took the quaffle and went back to the center of the pitch. I did the same thing and he hit it this time I flew over and caught the quaffle before it got to far away.
"See" I yelled back and he looked at me strange.
This was how most of our practicing went and before we knew it we had practiced until 1 in the morning and people were yelling at us to go home. So we packed up our stuff and Oliver walked me home.
The next morning I was awoken by Alicia screaming and jumping on my bed.
"That's just pay back for doing it so much back in Hogwarts" She said with an evil grin and then went back into her room
"No because I actually had a reason for waking you up, this was just unnecessary" I groaned.
"It has a purpose. You have to be at your try outs in half an hour" Alicia said.
I shot upright in my bed and stared at my wall waiting to wake up for real and have that not be the case. But it didn't happen so I charmed so clothes on and then myself clean, grabbed my broom charmed it to fit in a sports bag and then ran out the door only stopping to get a cup of coffee.
When I got to the pitch Oliver was waiting out front for me.
"What took so long?" He asked once seeing me running to get there.
"Sorry I must have slept threw my alarm and Alicia just woke me up" I said panting by the time I got to him.
"Alright well go get changed" He said handing me a practice kit.
So out of the twenty or so people I was the only person who could get the quaffle past Oliver, and I was the only girl who tried out, actually I was the only girl on the pitch.
All of the things they were making me do to see my skill level seemed easy compared to the things that Oliver put me threw during our house practices.
So at the end of the try outs Henry called us all down the center of the pitch to announce who made the team.
"Pretty much by process of elimination the team has come to one final easy decision…" Henry began to say and I looked over at Oliver who gave me an over oblivious wink.
"And our decision is that Katherine…" Oliver jabbed him in the side for me. "Alright Katie Bell is the new Puddlemore United chaser!"
Everyone around me was clapping and then it hit me…I Katie Bell was a professional quidditch player….I had a job….a REAL job…. Suddenly I was knocked out of my trance by a sudden wait on my body. It was Oliver he had jumped hugged me, soon following the rest of the team.
"Katie come here I would like you to meet the team." Henry said and the boys all got into a line with big goofy smiles on their faces.
"This I'm sure you know is our Captain Oliver Wood who you know plays keeper" He said with an emphasis on the word captain.
"These are the beaters John Berry and Gary Smith" He said and a tall tan man with short brown hair and green eyes and a some what shorter man with a bit longer and darker brown hair and brown eyes grew even larger smiles.
"These are you're other two chasers David Barker and Mica Owen." There was a medium height man with blonde hair and blue eyes and a man who was the same height with medium length brown hair and brown eyes.
"And this is the seeker Nigel Wayne" A tall bald man with blue eyes reached down to shake my hand.
"That's pretty much the team Bell. They will be your close family for the next however many years that you're on the team. We have practice tomorrow morning at five AM and it should be over by eleven but then I need you back at noon for the press announcement" Henry said while shaking my hand. I can't believe that I'm a pro quidditch player. This is amazing!
I galloped to the locker rooms to get changed grabbed my stuff and then apparated to Angelina's house. I didn't care about being rude so I just apparated into her living room.
"HELLO?" I herd Angelina yell from her kitchen.
"I MADE THE TEAM!" I yelled in all my sweaty glory because I didn't take a shower before I left for her house.
"WHAT! THAT'S WONDERFUL!" Angelina yelled back and we hugged each other and started jumping up and down in glee.
"DOES ALICIA KNOW YET?" She asked still yelling because that's how the two of us are… we get excited about something and then yell about it for like three hours after words.
"NO I FIGURED I WOULD TELL HER NEXT!" I yelled back
"WELL GO THEN AND TELL HER!" and I did as she said and apparated to the wizard side of her shop.
"Girl didn't anyone ever tell you it was rude to apparate into a building that wasn't your house!" some creepy man yelled at me.
"Well it's a good thing I live here then" I said sarcastically and ran to find Alicia.
"Carol do you know where Alicia is!" I asked one of the workers
"Yeah hold on let me get her..." Carol said as she went to find Alicia
Alicia came out of the back room and I pulled her into the magical side.
"I MADE THE TEAM!" I yelled
"REALLY THAT'S FANTASTIC!" she yelled and hugged me.
"Do we really need to be yelling!" The same old creepy guy that yelled at me before said.
"Yes we do and if you don't like it then you can leave!" Alicia said all forcefully like.
Then the two of us squealed and did a little jumpy dance.
"I'm so proud of you!" Alicia said stopping our dance and fake crying
"Ha yeah thanks mum!" I said sarcastically
"Now you can move out of my flat" Alicia said sarcastically and then stuck her tongue out.
"Yeah not yet" I said and stuck my tongue out too only mine was like bratty looking.
"But I need to be up and gone by five am tomorrow so if I don't wake up right as my alarm goes off I give you permission to wake me up." I said in a calmed down more serious voice.
"Who says I'm going to be up at that hour" Alicia said and laughed at the look I made
"You open the shop at five thirty so I assume you'll be up" I yelled back
"Yeah sure I'll get you up" she said in a fake not caring I was still in the room kind of voice.
Sure enough the next morning I woke up to an earth quake and Alicia scream/singing the words wake up. I rolled over and looked at my clock and it was only four in the morning.
"What the heck!" I groaned
"Oh good you're up…now I'm going back to bed" Alicia said and threw one of my many stuffed animals at me.
"Why did you wake me up so early!" I yell/groaned
"This way I'm sure you won't be late and by the time you get to practice you'll be wide awake and ready to practice for six hours" She said laughing as she wandered back into her room.
So I got out of bed gathered my practice kit and got in the shower…why I was showering just to go get all gross and sweaty I may never know but it was early and that's what I felt like doing. I put on a pair of muggle clothes grabbed my sports sack and then herd this loud noise start hitting the windows. I looked and it was raining. Shortly after I realized it was raining Alicia must have too because I herd her burst out into laugher.
"Yeah shut up! At lest I'm going to have more fun playing quidditch in the rain then you are at your little coffee house!" I yelled grabbing a grey large almost even trench coat.
"Well I'll just think about how dry and warm I am and that will make my job a load of a lot more fun" Alicia said still laughing. So I threw a football at her that was in the coat closet.
I rapped the coat around me and prepared myself to go outside. Then as soon as I opened the front door of the building that our flat was in I started to run as fast as I could…I don't dislike the rain…it just seemed like fun.
So finally I saw Alicia's coffee shop and remembered that I had a key to it on my house key ring. So I went inside locked the door behind me and then went into Diagon Alley threw the other side and apparated to the pitch.
I ran into the locker rooms where the boys where all standing around in their boxers talking about something.
"Ello boys" I said and tipped that hat that I wasn't wearing.
"Wow I'm proud…you are actually here on time…early at that." Oliver said putting me in like a head lock kind of thing and the rest of the boys clapped like they where at a golf game.
"So may I ask what it is that you lot are doing." I said slipping out of Oliver's head lock
"Oh before every practice that last six hours we stand here and talk about what we are probably going to have to do and just over the days it turned into us always being in our boxers" Owen said.
"Hmm interesting…" I said laughing at how Owen explained what they were doing like that croc hunter guy.
"Feel free to join" Smith said laughingly
"Well now that you had to make a big deal about it I shall." I said as a matter of factly and Oliver looked at me strange.
So me being the not shy at all girl that I am stripped down to my underwear and bra.
"Sooo what da ya think we'd be doing today lads" I said putting my hands on my hips and joining their circle.
We all burst out laughing and then went to continue getting changed. Well more or less we all went to put clothes on.
"Bell ya gonna fit in fine" Wayne yelled from down the way.
"I wasn't worried about whether or not I would" I said pulling my robes on.
So we went out and practice began, it wasn't all that different from practice back at Hogwarts. Someone would say something I would make a smart not that far from sluty remark and the boys would all laugh about it. Oliver seemed to fine my humor the funniest thing because he would even laugh when the remarks were made to him. Before we even knew it practice was over and I had to rush home to get ready for the press conference at noon.
I had gotten an outfit ready this morning so I hopped into the shower, did my hair and make up and put on the navy blue sun dress that I got out in the morning put on a pare of scarlet and gold pumps and got my trench coat thingy and ran out the door. I still had some time so I stopped at Alicia's coffee shop for a bit.
"Oh look at you! I haven't seen you this dressed up since….a long time!" Alicia said carrying a large pot of coffee over to a table.
"Well said well said" I said making fun of her.
"I think I'm going to go to the pitch threw the back door. I'm meeting Oliver there and then we're leaving together since he's part of it to" I said in my code language for I'm gonna go apparate there.
So I walked into the back room put my coat on a self near the back because it was hard to apparate with the weight of it all wet and then apparated to the pitch and Oliver was there waiting in a limo…why we needed to go in a limo I'll never know but I wasn't going to argue.
"You look nice" Oliver said opening the door for me. He was dressed in a suit type thing.
"You too" I said scooting to sit on the other side of the limo.
We went to the conference and it was pretty much sit there and answer pointless questions like "Miss Bell do you want to play well for your team" it's like No I want to play horribly and lose every game twice. Then it was over and we left in the limo.
About half way home I got this sudden urge to walk home in the rain…even though I was dressed up and all.
"Driver…you can stop here…I feel like walking home…" I said randomly…it had pretty much been quiet in the car the whole way anyways.
"What it's pouring out." Oliver said in shock looking at me like I was mad.
"I don't know I just feel like I want to walk home" I said as the car came to a stop.
"You can be done then because I think I am going to walk her home" Oliver said getting out of the car after me.
"You don't have to" I said looking at him like he was the crazy one.
"I don't know I just feel like I want to walk you home" He said mocking me, so the two of us started towards me house.
"So you are captain of Puddlemore United…it seems all of your dreams have come true, eh?" I said to start a conversation.
"Yeah…I guess so…well not all of them. I still want to be captain of the English National Team." He said looking off into the night sky like he forgot he was even getting wet.
"Some how I just don't see you playing football very well" I said jokingly, of course I realized that he was talking about the English National Quidditch Team but I felt like being annoying.
He punched me in the shoulder lightly because he knew me well enough to know that I was just being dumb.
"I missed you Katie Bell." He said with a smirk
"Yeah I didn't miss you all that much" I said because I just was in the mood to be a brat today…I don't normally act like this but you know how you get those days where you randomly just say the first thing that pops into your mind. Well I was having one of those days and I normally think of smart comebacks first and then a logical thing to say next.
"Nah I'm just kidding I did miss you" I said, and I really did. I had all of these pictures of all of us the year we won the house cup and whenever I would see them I would miss old Ollie. I mean Fred and George disowned us so I wasn't too fawned of them at the moment and I saw Alicia and Angelina every day. So I kept finding myself wondering what had ever happened to good old cap.
"Really?" He asked, its times like these that I wish people could read my mind because I had just gotten done explaining that to myself.
"Yeah, I mean I really only got along with you, Angelina, and Alicia in school and I see them every day so I don't know I missed you." I said
"So no boyfriend, eh?" he asked awhile later. The press had asked me that question a hundred times over; I guess he was just making sure I did have one that I didn't want the press to know about.
"Nope" I said with a sigh
"Strange" he said
"Why" I said slightly offended
"Well how often is it that a pretty and funny girl doesn't have a boyfriend?" he asked
"Well I don't know but it's very common for fat lazy sarcastic girls like me to not have a boyfriend" I said
"You're not fat" He said with a smile
"Why are you smiling while saying that?"
"Because I'm not going to say that you're not lazy or sarcastic" he said laughing
"Well what about you?" I asked
"I don't have a boyfriend nor will I ever if that's what you mean"
"No I mean do you have a girlfriend"
"Nope"
"Well I can perfectly understand that…most girls won't like a guy who likes quidditch more then her" I said and he made a joking mad face and punched me in the shoulder again.
We had been a lot farther from my house then I had though because we had to have been walking for like a half hour or so before we finally got to my building.
"Well good night I guess…even though it's only like what eight thirty?" I said as we got to the door.
"Is your house far away?" I asked
"No not at all I'll be fine." Oliver said
"Do we have practice tomorrow?"
"Nope" and Oliver began to walk away as I grabbed the handle to the front door.
"Wait I have to know something first" Oliver said and turned around back towards me.
"Do you think I have a chance with you?" Oliver asked with this look on his face like he felt like a retard asking.
Something came over me when he asked though, and so I guess he does because I leaned over and kissed him.
