If I Were You...
Katie was sitting on the front porch steps of her friend Angelina's
house. The two girls had always been close all the way through
Hogwarts, where they had went to school together. Katie had married
her school sweetheart, Oliver Wood. Oliver was a wonderful man as men
go, but a tad bit oblivious to things that were happening right in
front of him. Angelina hadn't married yet. Katie thought Angelina had
the best life. Carefree, single, and free-spirited.
You were standin' at my front door
When I came home tonight...
Angelina apparated in front of her house. A man apparated next to her
a second later. Grabbing hold of her and pulling her close with what
looked liked every intention of snogging her silly right there.
Angelina giggled as she felt his handslipping under her sweater. "Hey
watch the hands big boy." Angelina said spotting Katie on the steps.
"Look my best friend's here, I think I'm going to have to offer you a
raincheck on tonight. She looks kinda upset, and I think she needs my
help." The man looked over Angelina's shoulder, to see Katie sitting
on the steps. "Katie having problems with Oliver?" He whispered.
"Yah, Can I see you later?" She whispered to him. "You sure can Angel
just name the place." Fred gave her a quick kiss on her forehead, he
pulled out his wand and disapparated away.
And I could tell by the look you gave me
You were needin' my advice...
"Who's your friend." Katie nodded back to the garden path where the
man disapparated. "Just an old friend I happened to run into."
Angelina said smiling.
"Am I interrupting?" Katie asked looking up at Angelina. "Never,
friends are always more important than a bit of snogging. Is something
wrong with Oliver?" Angelina asked flicking her wand at the door as it
popped open. "Is it that obvious?" Katie mumbled through her hands.
"Oh Sweetie, you come inside and we'll talk about it over a nice cup
of tea."
You say you want more out of life than he can give you
As a tear rolls down your face...
They walked in the small kitchen. Angelina flicked her wand at the tea
kettle as a burst of steam billowed out. She pulled out two mugs and a
jar of tea leaves.
"What's wrong? It must be something bad for you to be sitting crying
on my doorstep at..." Angelina looked at her wristwatch. "10:23 at
night."
"Who was your new conquest outside?" Katie asked looking out the
window. "Come on Kate, I know you didn't come out at this time of
night to inquire about my love life. Besides I told you that he's just
an old friend" "I sometimes try and remember what being single was
like." Katie murmured. "It must be nice a new guy every night."
"Katie!! I'm not that bad." Angelina said exasperated, "Something must
really be wrong." "Oh Ang, I'm sorry I didn't mean it to sound like
that honestly." Katie sat at the kitchen table and covered her face
with her hands. She sniffled. Angelina knew she was crying.
But girl, I've seen the way he looks at you
And I know someone who'd gladly take your place ...
"Katie, it can't be all that bad." Angelina sat a tea cup in front of
Katie. "Accio Kleenex" Angelina said as a small box of Kleenex sailed
over and landed in front of Katie. "Oliver never has time for me. It's
always Quidditch practice this, victory parties that, personal
appearances." "Katie he has to work, granted sometimes the timing
stinks. That's one of the troubles of having a famous Quidditch player
as a husband."
If I were you
I'd run back home tonight
Tell him everything's all right
Yeah, I know what I'd do
If I were you
I'd never let him go
I'd have someone to hold
My whole life through
If I were you...
"If I were you I'd go home to Oliver. He does love you. Besides you
don't really need me to tell you how great your husband is. I'm sure
you know better then me anyway. You told me before how great he was,
remember?"
You shouldn't think you're missin' out on something
Because you wear a wedding band...
"Single life isn't that great you know. It's lonely and scary. Your
not missing anything by being married. I should be jealous of you. I
wish I could find a man like Oliver, I'd never let him go." Angelina
slipped off her shoes and rubbed her foot.
"I should have never married Oliver, he's in love with that dam red
ball not me."
"Katie, you know he loves you. You used to be just as much a Quidditch
fan as him. What happened?" "I grew up!! I should have stayed single,
Like you."
'Cause I can't seem to find somebody
Who wants more than just a one night stand
You know this single life I'm livin'
Ain't all it's cracked up to be
So you've come to the wrong place
If what you want is sympathy...
"Oh Sweetie, let me tell you I wish I could find someone that loved me
enough to take me away from this single life. The single men out there
are only interested in a quick snog or cheap meaningless sex. The good
ones are few and far between, and if you pass one up, Trust me there
is another girl out there that won't."
Katie just stared. "You know your not telling me what I wanted to
hear." Angelina smiled. "That's because I'm telling you the truth.
Not that I'm happy I'm alone and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
I'm the last person that is going to feel sorry for you. You know what
I would do if I were you? I'd go back home to Oliver tell him whats
wrong, tell him what your feeling. And I guarantee you won't be
disappointed."
"So you are telling me to go back home." Katie rubbed her red, tired
eyes.
"Yes." Angelina nodded. "Ya know, I guess I knew you were going to
tell me that all along." Angelina smiled at Katie.
"Remember how he proposed to you? Right after graduation at Hogwarts
in the Quidditch pitch." "Our favorite place in the world." Katie
smiled, sniffled and blotted up a few stray tears that appeared on her
cheek.
"Remember the wedding?" Katie smiled and drifting back to a memory.
"Married at Hogwarts on the Quidditch field. Dumbledore and all the
teachers were there. You and George, Fred, Licia. Fred and George I
miss them. Harry and Ginny engaged. Ron and Hermoinie, married. Lee
and his wife. Penelope and Percy. Our families... A few other
people."Katie's smile grew bigger. A few more tears dribbled down her
cheeks. "And you and me and Alicia went to the locker rooms and
changed out of our dress robes and into our old Quidditch robes."
Angelina started giggling. "We walked out on to the field and
challenged the guys to a match." Katie blinked as several more tears
dribbled from her eyes. "And you!!, I can't believe you, distracting
Oliver while Licia and I scored past him, twice!!" " I had to do
something. The guys had Harry we were going to get creamed." Angelina
snickered. "What did you mean going to get creamed."
If I were you
I'd run back home tonight
Tell him everything's all right
Yeah, I know what I'd do
If I were you
I'd never let him go
I'd have someone to hold
My whole life through ...
Katie stood up. "Thank you Angelina, You were always able to make me
see reason." "Oh Sweetie, I'm always happy to help you. I can remember
a few times you've been there for me as well."
"Goodnight" Katie squeezed Angelina in a tight hug and pull her wand
out and disapperated.
Later that night Oliver got home. Apparating into the bedroom
upstairs. He toke off his uniform and slipped into a pairs of pajama
pants. Wondering where Katie was. He left the bedroom and went looking
for her. Finding her didn't take long. She was curled up on the sofa
in the livingroom in front of the fireplace snuggled under one of his
Quidditch robes. He walked around the front of the sofa and knelt down
in front of her. Gently running his fingers along her cheek. He leaned
over gathering her up in his arms, and started carrying her up to bed.
Katie wound her arms up around his neck and snuggled in against his
sholder. He looked down at her with a very contented smile on his
face. "I love you Oliver" she whispered. He kissed her gently of the
top of her head. "I love you too Darling."
