A/N: I am so incredibly sorry. Life kind of hit me with a load of craziness at the end of July and it has just now slowed down enough for me to write this. Plus, I ended up changing my plans around so this was the final chapter. So, finally, here is the final chapter of Coffee.

Chapter 6 – End

The five Gryffindors walked into the Common Room, laughing at something Fred had said. The walked over to their usual place by the fire, and collapsed into the chairs.

"So, lovely Katharine, tell me, how does it feel to finally join the ranks of those of us who aren't in love with our Quidditch captain," Fred said, smirk planted firmly on his face.

Katie glared at him, then sighed. "Honestly? I'm not there yet. You can't get over someone in that short amount of time. But I'm on the right track; I'll get there."

Alicia smiled, but Katie noticed her smile didn't quite reach her eyes. "Well, I'm happy for you Kate."

Angelina nodded. "You're getting what you want." Katie couldn't help but notice that Angelina sounded just a little less than sincere when she said that. She looked back and forth between her friends. All four older Gryffindor's eyes reflected the same thing – that they weren't quite honest with Katie.

"Okay, what am I missing?" Katie asked after a couple minutes. "No, don't give me that look, George. I can tell that you four are keeping something from me."

"It doesn't matter, love. It's irrelevant," Fred told her. Katie gave him a look that clearly said she didn't believe him, but didn't pursue the issue. The five Quidditch players fell into a companionable silence. All five had their eyes closed, and were just enjoying the warmth of the fire and time with friends. A shadow suddenly fell over Katie and Fred. Katie opened her eyes to see her Scottish Quidditch Captain standing over her.

"Hey, Ol. Did you know that you're upside down?"

Oliver raised an eyebrow at his younger friend. "Has it ever occurred to you that maybe you're upside down?"

Katie looked thoughtful for a minute before grinning at him. "Nope, I'm pretty sure it's you."

"Cap'n, I hate to break up this oh so mature conversation but..." Fred started

"...do you need something?" George finished.

"Actually, yes. Kat, could I have a word?"

Katie sat up quickly, and gave her friends a questioning look. Fred and George just shrugged, while Alicia and Angelina grinned at her.

"Yeah, sure," she said, standing up and following Oliver until they were out of earshot. "What's going on?"

Oliver looked nervous. "Kat, are you angry with me?"

"What?!" Katie asked. "Ol, why would you think I was mad at you?"

"I dunno, Kat. You've been acting strange. You seem to be avoiding me; this is the first time I've seen you all day. And you don't sit next to me at meals anymore. And you've stopped calling me Ollie..."

Katie took a second to glare over toward her friends. The twins grinned back cheekily. The girls gave her knowing smiles. She rolled her eyes at them, then turned back to Oliver.

"Ol, I'm not angry with you. I didn't mean to avoid you. Angie and Lish and the twins wanted to do some stuff today is all."

Oliver gave her a look that said 'I know you are keeping something from me,' but didn't call her out on it. "If you're sure."

"I would tell you if I were mad at you."

"I know. I'll let you get back to everyone else. I promised Percy I would do my transfiguration essay tonight so I'm not coming into the dorm late again." Oliver rolled his eyes. "Why couldn't he be like Fred and George?"

"Do we need more of them?" Katie laughed.

"Good point." Oliver grinned at Katie again, then turned and walked over to his school work. Katie grinned and walked over to her friends.

"So..." she started as she sat down on Fred lap, "what am I missing?"

"Not a chance, love." Fred grinned.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The next morning, Katie woke in a good mood. She had spent most of the previous night trying to convince her friends to tell her what she was missing. At first, she hadn't believe she was missing anything, and that her friends were just messing with her, but as the night went on she became convinced they really were hiding something from her.

"Katie? Are you awake?" Angelina's voice came through the door.

"Yeah, come on in."

Angelina walked in, followed by Alicia. "Oliver is looking for you, Kates."

"Why?"

Alicia shrugged. "He just asked me if you had come down yet."

"We told him we would come up and get you," Angelina added.

"Okay, tell him I'll be down soon," Katie answered. Her friends grinned at her, then stood up and started walking towards the door.

After Katie had showered and dressed, she made her way down to the Common Room. She saw Fred, George, Angelina, and Alicia sitting in their usual place by the fire, but didn't see Oliver in his usual place. She looked around for him, and found him standing over by Harry and his friends. She made her way over to him.

"Hey, Ol. Lish and Ang said you were looking for me?" she inquired when she reached him.

"Hi. Yeah. Come over here?" he asked, gesturing vaguely toward the stairs. She grinned, and followed him to the stairs.

"So, Kat, I was kind of wondering if maybe you wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me next weekend?" Oliver asked, grinning a little at the end. He looked at Katie rather expectantly.

Katie grinned back. "You don't know how ironic it is that you asked me that just now."

Oliver's facial expression became confused. "Why is that?"

Katie studied Oliver for a couple seconds. "Maybe I'll tell you next weekend when we're in Hogsmeade." Oliver's face broke out into a wide smile. He leaned down and kissed Katie on the cheek. She looped her arm through his and turned toward their friends, who were all watching them, identical smiles on their faces.

A/N: Well, that was a lot of fun to write. Thanks to everyone who has read this, whether you reviewed or not. It really means a lot to me. This is probably one of my favorite things I've ever written. I have a couple more story ideas with these characters planned, so this won't be the last you hear from me. =D
