Oliver's POV
When I woke up the next morning I headed down to the common room to wait for Katie before heading down to the great hall for breakfast. Katie is a late sleeper so after ten minutes of waiting I decided to fly up to her window and wake her up.
After shaking her and calling her name numerous times I decided to try one last thing. So I leaned over the top of her and kissed her right on the lips. Her body tensed up and her eyes shot opened, but she settled into the kiss and started to deepen it until I felt my stomach growl so I pulled away. "We can finish this later but right now I need some food", I whispered gently to her. She nodded and got dressed. Once she was ready we headed down to a marvellous breakfast of ham, bacon, sausage, eggs, toast, oatmeal, waffles, pancakes, muffins, bagels, and of course english muffins. I filled my plate until you can no longer see it and immediately dug in. After a delicious breakfast, Katie and I headed up to a quiet and secluded nook on the astronomy tower to get away from all of the bullshit Katie has been dealing with the past few days. I know that everything is effecting Kates more than she lets on. She thinks that telling me what's wrong will make me think that she's weak but I really just want to help her. I can see it in her face that she wants to tell me, but something is holding her back. Maybe if I ask in the right she'll tell me. "Kates why won't you talk to me?" , " Ollie you'll just laugh at me!", "I promise I won't love, just tell me." "Well it's just that with all of this chamber stuff and the heir going after all of the mudbloods is really freaking me out, like what if I'm next!" "Don't worry love I won't let that happen I will stay with you as much as I can, besides considering I'm a pureblood I'm sure nothing will happen to you when you're around me." "But what about the times when you can't be with me like when I'm sleeping or when I'm in class?" "That's easy I can stay in your room or you can stay in mine and the heir surely won't hurt you in the presence of a teacher!" " Thanks Ollie, you're the best boyfriend in the whole wide world!" And with that she gave me a kiss, and when she pulled away I was left with a big goofy smile on my face. Words can't even describe how much I love this girl.
We stayed in that nook for most of the morning. The only reason we left was because Katie didn't eat a whole lot for breakfast so she was starving by the time lunch came around.
During lunch Professor McGonagall came over to me to let me know that Ravenclaw's seeker sprained his wrist so we will be playing against Hufflepuff next week instead. This stressed me out a lot considering we practiced plays that reflect Ravenclaw's style of playing. The four houses have four very distinct styles of playing, Slytherin plays very rough and dirty, Ravenclaw plays very smart and intellectual, Hufflepuff plays very clean and work very hard, and Gryffindor plays a very risky and physical game. So switching strategies from playing a smart and intellectual game to a game where you're playing a clean and hardworking team is not an easy task, especially not when you only have a week to do so.
Before heading back to the common room I made my way up the the captain's offices located in the North Tower behind a portrait of Goodwin Kneen. There are four separate offices in the space, one for each house, and a common area where the sheet to book the pitch is located. I booked morning and evening practices everyday this week for the team. I know that most of the team is going to kill me, but hopefully Katie will understand my intentions and calm the rest down. I headed back down the tower and to the common room to let the team know about our practice this evening.
I was absolutely correct with my theory of how the team would react when I told them about the extra practices this week. Fred and George nearly murdered me, if it weren't for Angelina, Alicia, and Lee Jordan I would be a corpse right now. Kates took it worse than I had expected, she called me an obsessive monster before slapping me and running to her dorm. Some days I could care less about what the rest of the team thinks about me but when Katie said that I could feel my heart break. I just can't stand to have her mad at me. I just have to make things right with her but I don't even know where or how to start.
Later that evening I made my way down to the pitch an hour before practice was due to start. I needed to clear my mind so I hopped on my broom and did a few laps around the pitch before practicing intricate movements that I could use while making saves. I must have lost track of time because before I knew it the rest of the team was making their way down.
I headed into the locker room to give a pep talk and to explain why we're having extra practices. Once I said that we were playing Hufflepuff instead of Ravenclaw the team understood the extra practices. Katie still looked a tad upset. I guess I won the battle but lost the war. Because Katie means so much more to me than anyone or anything else in this world. I guess I'll just have to suck up to Kates after practice to get back on her good side.
I worked the team extremely hard during practice. I felt a bit guilty later especially about making poor Harry catch the snitch two hundred times in the two hours of practice but I didn't let it get to me. I also worked with the girls with dodging bludgers. This was pretty funny because if George aimed at Ange, Fred would get mad. And if Fred aimed at Alicia, George got mad. But the worst was if either of them aimed at Katie, I would absolutely lose it. So basically the drill was a total failure.
Later on, in the locker room after practice, I held Katie back for a few moments so I could truly apologize. In the last four months I have learned a lot about Katie including how much she loves romantic gestures, so I decided that I would simply have to sweep her off her feet. This proved to be a pretty good tactic while I told her I was an idiot and i don't deserve her and that I should have told her the reason behind all of the extra practice. I then proceeded to kiss her. As the kiss deepened, I lifted her by the waist. She immediately wrapped her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. The kiss deepened even further and I found myself taking my shirt off as I had Katie pinned against the wall. It didn't take much more before her shirt also came off before she started undoing my belt. This was it, thank god they make all the boys take a protection spell in third year so there aren't any baby witches or wizards running around Hogwarts. Within minutes I was on top of Katie on the locker room floor. I was about to thrust into her when Harry walked in. His face turned bright red before he muttered a quick sorry and abruptly exited the locker room. The two of us, obviously embarrassed about being caught, quickly got dressed and walked back up to the castle.
Later on that evening I sought out Harry to make sure he wasn't traumatized. I found him sitting in a corner of the common room with the brainiac Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. I wonder when Ron and Hermione are going to start dating? It's obvious they like each other it's just a matter of time and who will be less stubborn and admit that they like the other person. Well anyway back to Harry, he turned a deep shade of scarlet when he saw me approach him. All I could think about is how I scared a twelve year old boy for life. I took Harry to the side and told him to forget what he saw and begged him not to tell anyone especially a certain set of red-headed twins. Then I proceeded up to my dorm for the night.
