Katie looked around, frowning in confusion. "The hospital???" She asked
herself softly. She looked at the close door. "Was someone here? I could
have sworn…" Katie silently wondered. Giving up, she started racking her
memory for an answer to what happened. Suddenly, the whole incident came
crashing back to her. "Oh," she finally figured out everything. However,
her satisfaction of remembering the accident was quickly replaced by
anxiety when she realized that the team might have lost the game. "Oh no,
Oliver!!! If we lost…" Katie didn't want to think about that horrid
possibility. This was Oliver's last chance to win the cup before he leaves
Hogwarts. If he failed…her thoughts were interrupted when the door she'd
been staring at opened and Madam Pomfrey walked in. She smiled when she saw
that Katie was awake. "Ah, good…took a hard blow to your head there …was
wondering when you'd finally come around." She bustled about busily, taking
Katie's temperature and fussing over her. After forcing Katie to swallow
some nasty bitter medicine, she finally left. Katie thought about getting
up but decided against it. Her head still ached awfully. She laid back down
and snuggled into her soft bed, hoping fervently that they hadn't lost the
game. The door creaked. Katie opened her eyes and turned around. Her face
brightened when she saw Oliver standing at the end of her bed. His eyes
lighted up too when he saw she was awake. "Hey Katie, you're awake!" Katie
smiled and nodded. He looked considerably happy for a guy who might have
lost an important game. " Oliver?" she asked meekly.
"Yes, love?"
"Did we…umm..lost the game?" Oliver looked surprised. He hadn't expected this question from her. "No, Harry caught the snitch the same moment you fell." Katie was relieved. " So we won." Oliver nodded. "I wouldn't have been mad at you even if we had lost, Katie," he sat by her side and intuitively took her hand. "It wasn't your fault. That stupid Andrew Beaukov aimed the bludger at you when everyone else was looking at…well, Roger and me…and you were rather far behind. We didn't get a penalty though, you know how it is." Katie understood. It was all right to hit the bludger towards the chaser anytime of the game, unlike the keeper, who was only allowed to be attacked within the scoring area. Oliver studied her face, wondering what her reaction would be if he told her that Roger was the one who saved her. He opened his mouth but closed it again. Who knows? He thought, she might insist on thanking him, then he might ask her out for a drink, and who knows where they might go from there, his mind warned him about the possible outcome, anyway, she'll never know. During his little mind debate, Katie in turn was watching him closely. She missed seeing him everyday and was observing him from top to bottom. She suddenly realized that he looked pale and tired. "Hadn't had enough sleep?" Oliver shook his head.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Katie glowered at him.
"Alright! I was just worried…" Oliver trailed off.
Now Katie was really curious. "About?" She prompted.
"Umm…you…I mean, losing you…you know how I am…especially in a quidditch game…I mean, even my mom comments on me being a worry-over-every-single- thing kind of guy…" Oliver blabbered, distressed over his honesty.
Katie tuned him out, worried about ME?
Oliver hurriedly focused her attention towards the pile of presents and candy. "Open them."
Katie smiled happily, "I love candy."
"Better not eat too much then…"
"Why not?"
"You know what happens when girls eat to much candy…"
"No, I don't…sugar-induced?" Katie guessed.
"You wish! They gain weight!"
Katie gasped, "Oliver Wood!!! Are you saying I'm capable of getting fat?!" She squealed.
It was undeniable, no matter how much Katie eats, she never seemed gain an ounce.
Oliver shook his head. "No, no…just a warning, you never know."
Katie sniffed good-naturedly, pretending to be upset.
She extracted a captivatingly wrapped present from the middle of the pile and started peeling off the wrapper carefully. Oliver just shook his head at her and continued picking out his presents for her, not catching the drastic change in his girlfriend's expression after he turned away.
* Haha…Weasley twins in the next chapter!!! They ROCK!!! Anyway…more Oliver like I promised….*
