My name is Oliver Wood. I'm captain of the Gryffindor quidditch team, and
am in my seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This
was the year my life changed, into just about nothing. Now, this isn't one
of those tragic stories where people die or anything. No one dies. Unless
you include my heart and soul. But, don't worry, things got better. It just
took some time.
Katie Bell is my girlfriend, and I have absolutely no regrets about it. I love her more than anything. Most people say quidditch is my love. It is. Katie is my life. Katie is my world. Now, I know, people saying how good- looking I am, that I'm cheating on Katie and all that other bullshit. I'd never dream of anyone other than Katie. And I know it's vice-versa. But, during my seventh year, her sixth, something happened that changed our relationship for the year. I thought I'd never be the same. I'd thought I'd lost everything. Katie is my everything. And when I thought I'd lost her, I just about died. Actually, I did die. My soul died for that year. I was lost, empty. I absorbed into nothing.
Eventually, I finally saw a new light, as Katie did. It was more than hard, seeing her as she was. After the accident, I fell, if at all possible, in love with her even more. But, when I saw that light, it was like seeing, I dunno, seeing something so spectacular, so miraculous, and phenomenal, that you could just, do something insane in happiness.
But that year, it was more than Hell for me. It would have been easier to die. But I didn't. Because I knew, that I'd be betraying my love for Katie if I did. And I'd never do that. Because I love her. And she loves me. Nothing will ever change that. Nothing.
So, here is my story. Our story. The story where I almost lost everything. The story where my soul died and returned from nothing, to everything. I may seem dramatic, and I probably am. Even, if things were, bad, they got better. But, here's my story, in my eyes, of almost losing it all. I know it was all a mistake. But it was more than a mistake. To me, it was a disaster, a catastrophe. Ok, you're right. It IS dramatic. But you know, to me, losing Katie was worse than death. That mistake, changed my seventh year. It was almost too much to handle. I know I'm making a big deal out of it, because to me, it was. So here it is. The story of a memorable mistake.
