Notes:
Alright so my name is Kelly and I've written a
fanfic before, but i never actually completed it. Recently I've found
a new muse though thats got me started again. So please forgive me if
the story takes a little while to come together. I'm a little rusty,
but hopefully i'll get back into the swing of things. The way this
story works is kind of dodgey. I was inspired by 'When Harry met
Sally' (great movie). Basically it's Katie and Oliver reflecting on
their relationship, ie. how it developed, key events, etc. Anyways,
please read it and review it, suggestions are welcome! I love to know
how to make it better! Thank you!
Chapter One
He always appeared to be somewhat of a prat. I'd never really spoken to him, aside from Quidditch tryouts. You didn't need to speak to him to know how full of himself he was though. He thought he was the best bloody Quidditch player to hit the pitch. He acted as though he owned the place. And he was always flexing his muscles for swooning second years or bragging about how he was the captain, a Prefect, and the top of the class, blah, blah, blah. I didn't realize someone's head could be so big. What's worse is he'd been that way since day one!
I'd been going to school with him for the past 6 years, been in at least one class with him each year, and some how i'd managed to keep all lines of communication closed. I only wish I could've kept it that way.
I wouldn't have tried out for the team, but I loved Quidditch so much, not to mention Alicia was on the team, as well as the twins. I walked into tryouts and showed him what I had to offer, and apparently I faired pretty well, seeing as how he gave me one of the Chaser spots. Well I was excited about the position, but I was not excited about the extra attention I started to recieve from Mr. Wood.
He'd always been a womanizer. If you have breast than you were pretty much on Wood's radar. It was quite sickening. In one class period he successfully made a move on every girl in the class...including Professor Sprout!
So I was used to his passes and not so subtle sexual ineuendos, but after tryouts he started coming at me with all of these new approaches that I had never seen before.
But that's not the worst part.
What's bad is...well...I found myself falling for them.
What you need to understand about me is that I had always been a very practical girl. I have my morals and I stick to them. I wasn't scared to admit that at that point I was indeed a virgin, I hadn't recieved my first serious kiss yet, and I actually had no relationship experience at all. I was waiting for the right guy. I'm not saying I didn't have offers, because I did, but I wasn't up for one night stands or random make out sessions.
I also wasn't used to so much attention from the male species.
So when Oliver started hugging me randomly, or he would make a comment about how attractive I looked that day, it kind of got to me. And I'm not going to deny the fact that I would indeed flirt back, I mean it was just Oliver, I knew nothing would come of it so I figured, what a great way to get out all of my pent up flirting frustrations! Well the harmless flirting got a little more serious for me.
You see within the first weeks of that year the first Hogsmeade trip was posted. Now I didn't think he was going to ask me, and I didn't really care. I was planning on going with Alicia and Hermione, whom was a little younger than us. I really didn't care when I found out that he had asked Angelina Johnson, one of the other Gryffindor chasers, to go with him. Well I didn't care until George informed me that Angelina liked Oliver, like...liked him.
Thats when I felt it. That feeling where you're heart drops right into the pit of your stomach. That feeling you get when realization hits and you suddenly become aware of certain romantical feelings you hold for the classes number one sleaze.
It was that day that I realized I was crushing on the Oliver Wood, and there was no turning back.
A/N: I have the next two chapters written so I should post them shortly. Please let me know what you think!
