A/N: Ok so its not a one shot... i think im on a bit of a roll here... ) and i just really wanted to post so i didn't wait for ten reviews. I expect 20 before i update again!

When finally they got to the Fat Lady's portrait, the team hesitated for a moment. Finally, Oliver pushed Harry forward and told him, "Well, you won the match. You first!"

So Harry stepped up, said the password, and the portrait swung open. As soon as the door was even cracked, however, the hallway erupted with noise. People were screaming the names of their Quidditch team at the top of their lungs, and that created quite a loud effect. Harry stepped up into the room and people immediately mobbed him, pulling him forward. The rest of the team stepped in, and people mobbed them, too.

Katie glanced around and noticed that Fred and George, and food, were already in the common room. She shook her head thinking, no wonder those two get into so much trouble. I will never figure out how they get around so quickly. Or really how they do anything... and I don't know if I really want to know...

She was startled out of her thoughts by someone slapping her on the back, and someone else screaming about how awesome her plays had been. In all the commotion, she didn't recognize either one of them.

She was a little uptight at first because of all the people and the noise, but as soon as she loosened up and began to chat with people, she realized she was having fun. She saw Harry a few feet away swarmed with fans, especially girls, looking a little flustered, and so she went to rescue him.

"Oh, Harry! I'm so glad I found you! Someone... um, Ron needs to talk to you!" With that excuse she grabbed him and dragged him away from all of the girls, who were looking quite mutinous at the moment.

"Katie, I have no idea how to thank you! I thought i was going to drown. And I think that Lynn girl was eyeing me up. Not a good situation." There was so much relief on his face, Katie laughed.

"Anytime. But you might want to actually find Ron before those girls think I took you upstairs or something." Another grin, which faltered when she saw the look on her Seeker's face. "What? Why the look?"

Harry raised an eyebrow and said, "They would never think that, Katie. They know you wouldn't cheat on Oliver."

Katie's heart stopped. When she spoke again, it was in a very tight, hardly controled voice. "What do you mean, Harry? I'm not going out with Oliver. I never have and I never will."

Harry looked stunned. "Does Oliver know that? 'Cause he's liked you for a while and it was going around that he was going to ask you out..." Just then he saw his fan club running around the common room looking for him. "Hey, thanks again for the save, I gotta get out of here, ok?" he said, and took off running.

Katie slumped against the wall, her heart beating sporadically and her breathing coming in short bursts. This isn't POSSIBLE! she thought. How... What...?? No, this is all wrong. He doesn't like me. He never has! Harry must have just been joking. Or he heard Oliver joking about it. But there is no way he likes me. But... if he does... she felt her heart soar with hope before she ripped herself back to earth. He doesn't like me. I'm NOT going to believe Harry, because that will just get my hopes up and then I'll wind up hurt. So, no. he doesn't like me. She nodded with her resolve and calmed her heart and breathing down. Angelina found her leaning against the wall trying to get herself back to normal.

"Katie! There you are! I've been looking EVERYWHERE for you! Why are you hiding back here? Let's go party!" Without waiting for a reply, she grabbed Katie and dragged her to the middle of the common room where, without Katie noticing, someone had set up a dance floor and had started blasting music. Katie shoved Oliver to the back of her mind (because she could never get him completely out of it) and began to dance. Not with anyone, unless it was with one of her friends, but mostly just for herself.

It wasn't until almost two hours later, around three a.m., when Professor McGonagall stormed into the common room and silenced the music.

"I know that you are all excited that we won the house cup, as am I. But some people in Britain would like to sleep tonight. I'm sorry to have to do this, but I must order you all to bed now. Oh, and just to make sure you all actually go to bed, I am suspending your music and food."

There were several loud choruses of 'awwwww' as the professor levitated all forms of music player and speaker and anything edible out of the common room, and then followed them out of the common room.

Katie, Angelina, and Alicia were getting ready to head up to their room. "Ang, lets go!" Katie called to her friend. Angelina was giving some poor person her deadly 'look'. Katie knew how frightening it was, so she grabbed Ang by the wrist and began to tug her up the steps. Behind her, someone cleared their throat.

"Uhh... um... Katie... could I... uhh... talk to you?" The question was stammered and in a different voice then he had ever used, but Katie automatically recognized it as Oliver's.

She froze on the step, her heart going a mile a minute. Struggeling to keep her voice calm and casual, she replied, "Yeah sure. Quidditch stuff?" even though she knew it was definately not about Quidditch.

"Uh. No... not, uh, not exacty," was his reply, again stammered.

It wasn't until Kaite had reached the foot of the stairs and walked a few paces into the common room that she realized Ang and Alicia had fled upstairs. She shuffled nervously towards Oliver, who was an interesting shade of red. "So what's going on, Oliver?"

Oliver turned an even more interesting shade of red and Katie thought idly if he was going to burst into flames. Her stomach was doing somersaults and her heart felt like it was going to explode.

"Well... see... I was... I mean... you know, I was just thinking... we have... you know... that... um the Hogsmeade trip... and i was wondering... um... you know... if you wanted to um... go... you know... with... um... me?" He got quieter as he went on and even redder. Katie began to grin as soon as he said Hogsmeade.

"Oliver, stop studdering. Of course I'll go with you." With that, she closed the distance between them and hugged him quickly but tightly. "I'll see you in the morning," she said softly in his ear, and ran up the steps to her room. She could imagine his wide-eyed stare and stiffness as he watched her go up the steps for the night. When she paused against her bedroom door, she heard Angelina and Alicia murmering to eachother and Katie grinned again (Or had she not stopped grinning? It was hard to tell...) and burst through the door to see her obviously anxious roommates.
