Haha! Look who is updating in less then 24 hours!!! victory is mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, this is Katie. At first, I thought to much Oliver and then I reconsidered and decided just enough Oliver(: Because who doesn't love him? So, I love Katie and I had so many things I wanted to put in here and limiting myself was really really hard. I absolutely adore Katie Bell. She's such a fun character, she plays quidditch, she marries Oliver Wood, she get cursed, so much stuff happens to her! Ahhhh simply marvelous!! So I was listening to the Little Mermaid soundtrack while I wrote this and dude, I love that musical! Thinking I'll write Draco's during study hall tomorrow(:

1) She hates necklaces.
Refuses to wear them. Oliver's mother gave her a simply lovely one for her birthday but Katie refuses to wear it. Georgie Wood complained for years, but Oliver quietly told his mum she didn't understand and then held Katie's hand under the table.
-
2) Dating Oliver was hard.
Katie loved Oliver with everything she had, but that didn't mean it wasn't hard. She received much more mail after it. Jealous, catty women would send her letters filled with pus or worms or cockroaches. She received nasty letters telling her that she didn't deserve Oliver. And when word got out she had stopped opening unknown letters, they started sending howlers. People think Sirius Black, James Potter, or one of the Weasley twins has the record for most howlers at Hogwarts, but its Katie.
Oliver never found out.
-
3) She has only seen Oliver drunk twice.
The first time was when his sister died. It was after Caroline's funeral and Katie walked downstairs to get a drink and found her boyfriend trashed, crying. He doesn't exactly remember it, but Katie does. They cried together that night, for Colin, Harry, Fred, George, Mrs. Weasley, and Caroline. They cried for the Slytherin's and Ravenclaw's who weren't brave enough to stay, they cried for those who were and payed for their decision, they cried for broken families. They cried for each other. They cried for everybody that night.
The second time, was when their daughter, Mallory married Albus Potter. He was a wreck before the wedding and Katie couldn't blame him. Mallory wasn't marry Harry's son, the Harry they knew. The one who could play seeker and was just a generally nice kid. Mallory was marrying Harry freaking Potter's son. The Harry who was the Boy Who Lived and the Chosen One, the Harry who saved the whole wizarding world. And that scared Katie and Oliver, so he drank until he was completely smashed and Katie cleaned until there house reeked of muggle cleaning solution.

4) She's jealous of Ginny.
Most women are, but Katie isn't jealous because Ginny has Harry. Harry was like Katie's younger brother. Katie is jealous because Ginny played on the house team for 3 years and she gets to go play professionally! Where is the justice!?! Its not like Katie ever wanted to play professionally, she was perfectly happy with her job at the ministry. Its just she wants people to remember that she was, and still is, better then Ginny!
-
5) She vividly remembers the day she woke up.
The first thing she saw was a worried grin and a mess of floppy brown hair.
The first thing she smelled was quidditch pitch.
The first thing she felt were his arms as he pulled her into a hug.
The first thing she tasted were her salty tears.
The first thing she heard was his scottish accent.
-
6) Mallory's relationship, was scarily similar.
In 2nd year, Katie was chaser to the captain.
In 3rd year she was his chaser.
In her 4th year, she was Bell.
In her 5th year, Oliver started calling her Katie.
By 7th year, he was calling her Kate.
Mallory was his chaser to Al for her 2nd and 3rd year.
For their daughters 4th year, she was the Wood.
In her 5th year, she was Mallory.
In her 7th year, she became Mal.
It was eerily similar to Katie and Oliver, however Harry and Ginny never quite got the eery part.
-
7) She lost her best friend in the war.
Fred, died. Her Fred was dead by the end of the war. He had always been Katie's best friend. It didn't matter that his best friend was George, then Lee. All that mattered was Fred was always always always there for her, and now he wasn't.
-
8) She moved into Oliver's flat when she was 18.
It was immediately after the war ended. Well, not immediately, but it was pretty quick. Everyone tried to talk her out of it- Alicia, Angelina, her mother, her father, Oliver's mother, Oliver's sister, and even Hermione Granger. But Katie didn't want to lose Oliver, and after a traumatic event where both of them had lost people close to them. Katie lost her best friend and Oliver lost his sister. They just wanted to be close to each other. His teammates gave him some heat for it, but Katie shot one hex toward them and they stopped that real quick.
-
9) She cries a lot.
Katie is a girl, and girls cry a lot. Well, she knows girls who rarely cry but Katie is a crier. She cries often and when she cries, she cries hard. But the hardest she has ever cried in her life was after her 4th year. Oliver was leaving, he was going to play keeper for Puddlemere United. And before he left, he asked her to be his girlfriend. Katie should have said yes, but she said no. Because she is stupid. She sobbed and cried and hiccuped and just cried until she was dehydrated and then cried some more. Angelina was seriously worried for her safety. But thats what happens when you break your heart by yourself.
Her 5th year though, she agreed to go out with him. Life is fragile and love should never be taken for granted.
Cedric taught her that.
-
10) After the war, she spent a lot of time in the Weasley's kitchen.
She'd take a set at the table, Molly would fix some tea and they would talk. Molly would tell stories about her and Arthur and how they got married at a young age. She would tell stories of raising her children. She would make Katie laugh for hours over silly stories of Fred and George, or Ron and Ginny. Katie loved that time she spent there because they never talked about Fred, Professor Lupin, or or Caroline's death or the war, and that helped Katie heal her wounds. When Katie told Mrs. Weasley she was moving in with Oliver, Molly smiled, nodded her head, and told Katie to be careful with her tea, it was hot.
They spent the next two hours talking about Mrs. Weasley's wedding.

oohhh, I liked it. But the real question is, did you? So let me know. And since I am a huge dork, I've worked out the whole Mallory and Al relationship. Just for me, in 19 years- Oliver is 42, Katie is 38, Harry is 37, and Ginny is 36. Katie and Oliver have four kids- Shannon, Damien, Caroline, and Mallory. Katie and Oliver were 19 and 23 when the war was going on. I've figured out that having a kid going into Hogwarts 11 years after the war would make them born, for Katie and Oliver, around when they are 26 and 30. Which would make them the same age as Al, but I want Mallory to be younger then Al by four years, like Katie and Oliver. Haha, get it?
Anyway, Shannon was born when Katie was 22 and Oliver was 26 (that math is right, correct? Also that would have been 3 years after the war). Damien was 2 years later- so Katie was 24 and Oliver was 28, Caroline was 2 years later, so Katie was 26 and Oliver was 30. Then Mallory would have been born when Katie was 29 and Oliver was 33, so were gonna say Mallory was a surprise.
So Harry and Ginny have James at 24 and 23 (I've decided James is a 3rd year). Al at 26 and 25 and Lily at 28 and 27.
So in 19 years, James was 13, Al was 11, and Lily was 9 or James was a 3rd year, Al was a 1st year, and Lily wasn't at Hogwarts. In 19 years, Shannon would have been a 6th year or 16, Damien would have been a 4th year or 14, Caroline would have been a 2nd year or 12, and Mallory would have only been 9 years old. When James was a 7th year or 17, Al would have been a 5th year or 15, and Lily would have been a 3rd year or 13. When James was a 7th year, Shannon was around 20, Damien was a 7th year, Caroline was a 5th year, and Mallory was a 2nd year. So Al would have become captain, at least to me, his 6th year. 6th year, Mallory was a 3rd year and Al's 7th year she was a 4th year.
Jeez, to much math. If you read it all and your brain hasn't exploded: let me know if you see a mistake.
Cheers
Lexi
