Katie&Oliver: Chapter 10
Katie approached the arguing pair.
"What is going on here?" Katie asked annoyed as hell.
"I was just telling your so called boyfriend here, that if he wants to be with me, he'll have to break up with you." Alicia lied boldly. "That's right, he's been cheating on you with me." She added.
"What the hell are you talking about, Spinnet!" Oliver and Katie said in sync.
"I'm telling the truth." Alicia said calmly. Katie's eyes filled with tears, she slapped Oliver and ran back to the common room bawling her eyes out. She went through the crowded common room. As she reached the stairs someone grabbed her arm. That someone was George Weasley.
"What happened?" He asked his young team mate in concern.
"He cheated on me. Oliver cheated on me with her. Alicia." Katie said still crying really hard.
"What? No he didn't. Did he tell you that himslef?" George couldn't believe his ears.
"No, Alicia did." Katie said sitting on the bottom step. George sat on the floor next to her.
"You need to talk to Wood." George encouraged as much as it hurt. He really liked her, a lot. He stood up and held out a hand. She took it and stood up as she reached the portrait hole it opened. Oliver stood there with puffy, red eyes and a bright red slap mark across his cheek. They looked eachother in the eye.
"It's not true. Spinnet is lying." Oliver pleaded for Katie to believe him.
"I think we need a break. I'm sorry but you need to concentrate on your N.E.W.T's . It'll be easier for you without all the drama of a relationship and Alicia's jelousy." Katie said. It was hard for her, seeing the hurt in his eyes but she needed some time away from the drama of Alicia's jelousy, she wasn't used to it. She was fourteen after all. Katie walked up to her dorm room. Oliver looked lost. He walked to the sofa and sat there. George sat next to him. (Goodness know's where Fred is :))
"You didn't cheat on her, did you?" George asked knowingly. Oliver shook his head, hands over his mouth with tears rolling down his cheeks. "She'll come 'round. I'm sure of it." George reassured his Quidditch captain. He patted Oliver's back.
"I'm going to bed." Oliver said and went up to his dorm room. The next nine days took forever for Oliver and Katie. They were both slipping on school work. It was Sunday morning. Most Gryffindors were preparing for Hermione party, except Oliver who was wandering around the school aimlessly. Professor McGonagall saw him and approached him.
"Wood? Are you ok?" She asked concerned. "What has happened between you and Miss Bell? You're both slipping behind in your studies." She added.
"Nothing." Oliver said sadly. Professor McGonagall raised an eye-brow. "It's precisely what i said Professor, nothing is happening between us." He added to convince her he was telling the truth and not brushing off the question.
"So, you are not in a relationship with Miss Bell anymore?" She paused for his correction. He shook his head. "Then why are you slipping on your school work? You don't have any distractions except Quidditch which extra-curricular anyway." Professor McGonagall asked getting even more concerned. He shrugged it off and walked away before she could ask anymore questions. Professor McGonagall looked confused. He sat on a stone bench and started to think about things. Mostly Katie but his school work as well. People wondered why he looked so down about Katie if he wanted he could have any girl he wanted - except a Slytherin - no-one knew why he wanted Katie she was three years younger after all and had no experience what-so-ever. He understood it perfectly though, he loved her so much, it was indescribable. He had never said it to himself but he knew it was true.
