Alone on V-Day
A/N: The name of a The Remus Lupins song, except KBOW. (The song is Lily/Remus.) Katie is Angelina, Alicia, and the twin's age.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Stupid Lockhart. Why'd he think up this? A fourth year and up dance. Girls had been queuing up for a week. Harry's lucky. He only had to deal with the embarrassing singing dwarves and cards and flowers. And yet…the only girl he wanted to dance with, just dance, just one song, she didn't care.
Oliver Wood sat off to the side, on chairs set up for those taking a break from dancing or wallflowers. He saw her, Katie Bell, with her friends.
"Hey, George," Both twins turned. "Could one of you…uhhh…"
"Play matchmaker for you and Katie-Kat?" One of them answered.
"Umm, yeah." Oliver replied hesitantly.
"Okay!" They said together jubilantly.
He sat there, and nervously looked at one boy who he sat by, Joey, he thought his name was. Oliver attempted to chat amicably.
The twins ran back. "Well, uhh, she didn't believe us." George said.
"What! What'd you say?" Oliver almost shouted.
"'You know Oliver over there? Well, obviously, yeah. He wants to dance with you' what's wrong with that?" Fred asked.
Oliver collapsed onto the chair. His look of despair was missed by his friends.
Of course. His friends had made front of him for liking her in front of Katie herself, earlier. He said they were kidding. She thought it was a joke. As is life. Suckish.
He talked to his friends, but stayed in his chair the whole time, no matter how many girls asked him to dance. He saw her, dancing to muggle classics like Y.M.C.A. or The Cha Cha Slide. His friends stood up and danced. He talked to whoever was there, saddened when he looked away.
Oliver Wood nearly cried.
A/N: First two-shot. Review, obviously. Note: Loosely related to a weird thing at Forensics, except without the ability to know whether his friend was joking.
