Katie eyed the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain and Kimberly apprehensively.
She kept reminding herself not to care about how close they were sitting,
or how he actually chose Kimberly's company over hers. She frowned, so what
if they weren't exactly on speaking terms right now, regardless of their
promise to stay friends no matter the outcome, he still shouldn't show his
preference for the blonde girl so plainly, and with the so many other
students milling about.
She saw Oliver's brown eyes traveling towards her and hastily looked away. She glanced at her watch and gasped. She was late! She promised to meet Roger at the pitch five minutes ago. Bloody hell, it was all Oliver's fault. She jumped up and left Angelina exchanging knowing glances with Fred. Tripping over scattered books, she clumsily made her way to the exit, no longer thinking about Oliver and Kimberly.
"I know it would be wrong to not tell her, so I really have to - " Oliver stopped in mid-sentence, distracted. He looked at Katie's vacated seat and gaped. Where did she disappear to? Just when he urgently needed to talk to her. He and Kimberly stood up simultaneously. He looked at her in surprise.
She smiled at him, "You do need to tell her Oliver. She has a right to know! It might be hard....but hey, you are a Gryffindor and all."
He fidgeted nervously, "I don't know if I have the guts to go through with it."
"You have to." Kimberly reached up and hugged him. "I won't allow you not to! She has to know."
Oliver nodded wordlessly, reciting what he was going to say in his mind.
Kimberly pushed him gently towards the portrait hole, "I think she went to the Quidditch pitch."
Oliver shot her an inquisitive look. She smiled, "I heard her talking to Roger. He asked her to meet him there."
Oliver groaned. He nervously chewed on his bottom lip. Kimberly scowled and crossed her arms.
"You have to talk to her sooner or later! And sooner is much more better in my opinion.....so go!" She pushed him harder.
"All right already!" He slowly walked to the exit but hesitated. What if Roger got angry and beat him up? Not that he was afraid, he just didn't want to bruise anything. He chanced a look at Kimberly, she was making animated gestures with her hands, urging him to go. He swallowed hard, then, squaring his shoulders determinedly, he walked out of the common room.
~*~*~*~*~
Katie laughed delightedly. Roger's brilliant stroke of genius to cheer her up had worked marvelously. It wasn't chocolates, or jewelry, or even quidditch.....it was a simple and cute little thing. Roger had brought a puppy. The tiny golden puppy gazed at her with its large bambi-like eyes. Katie laughed again when the mischievous pup's soft ears flopped over his eyes, blocking his view. It stumbled and landed flat on the ground, all four legs stretched out. It's happy spirit unhampered, the puppy got up and trotted gaily over to Katie. He sniffed for a while and then started to lick her outstretched hand, drawing another round of pleased giggles from the girl.
Roger watched her happily. This was the first time in days that Katie had really laughed. He smiled at her when the puppy abandoned her hand to frolic around the grounds, having the time of his life as he explored his new territory.
"Where'd you get him? His so cute!" Katie asked.
He just shrugged. She walked over to stand in front of him. Suddenly, something brown and furry streaked past them, brushing Katie's legs. She squealed in fright and jumped straight into a surprised Roger's arms.
He started chuckling after he realized that it was nothing but a squirrel. Katie buried her head deeper into his robes, trembling slightly, "Don't laugh," she chided, "It's not funny! What was that? Was it a -a rat?" Her muffled voice sounded fearful.
Roger laughed, Katie was known for her fear of rodents. "Roger! Don't let me go! Is it still there?"
Roger pulled away to look at her and gave her a reassuring smile, "Ahhh....don't worry about that, I won't drop you. Anyway, you didn't really think it was something frightening, did you?"
Katie blushed from embarrassment and the fact that she just realized that she was in Roger's arms. "Uh Roger? You can put me down now."
Roger obeyed her soft command but his hands fell to rest on her waist. He looked at her expectantly. She was breathing heavily, her eyes speaking thousands of words for her. He saw the apparent desire and urged her to fulfill it. After a moment's hesitation, she finally obliged.
Her knees almost gave way as she was overwhelmed with unspeakable pleasure. His musky scent enveloped her as she kissed him and filled her with such warmth and familiarity that she hadn't experienced ever since their breakup.
Seconds flew by and soon, Katie had to pull away for air. Roger smiled at her, "You know something Katie? I don't care who you choose, just promise me you'll never forget me."
Katie frowned slightly, "You don't even know yet, Roger. I don't know what to do either! Oliver is so...different!"
"I said if. If it's not me, I just want you to know that you have my full support."
She stepped away from him, and looked at him doubtfully. "That is comforting to know, but do you mean that?"
"I do! I'll respect your decision! We'll be friends forever."
She smiled and watched the puppy, her eyes reflecting amusement at its hilarious antics. After a little while, she spoke, "Corny, Roger, but thank you."
~*~*~*~*~
Oliver watched the laughing pair from a castle window. Was that a puppy? He scowled as Katie leapt into Roger's arm. Did that guy put a spell on her? Even though it was only an act of fear, a pang of jealousy still hit him hard.
After a while, he clenched his fists. They were kissing, and worse, Katie initiated it. This was too much. Can this get any harder? This was just wonderful. Oliver struggled with his inner self. He desperately wanted to just turn away and keep his decision to himself and Kimberly. And from the looks of it, Katie would be much happier not knowing.
Now they were talking seriously together. Oliver growled, "That's it! I give up!"
With that, he turned away from the window.
