Chapter:3
Oliver took of his dirty robes and jumped into the cool shower. He needed to cool off after what had happened. He could just imagine giving Snipe a black eye or maybe throw in a few curses that would make him into a horrible creature. But he knew that the only way to defeat Snipe was by winning the House Cup. Slowly he turned off the shower. He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist. He then took out jeans and an his under shirt from his locker. As he finished getting undressed he heard the loud sound of thunder and then the hard rain coming down. "Just my luck," he mumbled to himself. He put on his sweater and grabbed the rest of his items. As he walked into the rain he turned around and saw Katie sitting at the bench by the locker rooms. "What are you doing here?" He asked as he walked towards her. "Angelina is already at the castle. I just thought you might want to have someone walk with you to the castle in this weather." Oliver couldn't understand why Katie was so. How could he describe it? It was always Katie's nature to make sure no one was counted out ; but sometimes in the end ,she was counted out. Oliver didn't seem to think it was fair. Katie now stood up and looked into the sky. "Don't you just love England's weather?" she said. Oliver laughed. "I bet it's better in Scotland." Katie's hair was now soaked and dripping down onto her coat. Oliver had always had a soft spot for light brown hair. Oliver looked up at the mist castle of Hogwarts. "Lets hurry before the hail comes." Oliver said . Together they ran to the castle. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They were drenched by the time they reached the school .Oliver and Katie took a glance at their soggy faces and burst into laughter. "Mud! All over the rug!" yelled grumpy voice. Oliver and Katie turned around quickly. It was Flich. "Into my office!" He growled. Oliver and Katie walked down the hall with gloomy wet faces. "I just cleaned that carpet two minutes. And then you meddling kids had to just trample over it as thought this was your castle! Didn't you?" As Oliver and Katie sat down on the hard wooden chair, Flich started to look in a file box. "Lets see," he muttered. "ruining property, making loud noises, and most of all.." He looked up with a sly smile on his face, "Not in the castle by sundown." "But Mr. Flich!" Katie said. "Enough!" Flich yelled. "I'll see that Professor Mcgonnagle will take care of this" Flich said standing up. "I'll be getting her and while I do, you wretched kids clean the mess that you purposely made!" He handed them each a mop and a soap brush." Quietly they went back to where they had walked in and started cleaning. "Why that no good prick," Oliver mumbled. Oliver was moping while Katie started to scrub the floor. Katie sneezed. "Bless you" Oliver said turning towards Katie who was shivering. "Thank you" she sniffed. "Here, let me clean up the rest. Your not well," Oliver suggested . He bent down and started to scrub where Katie left off. "No, I made this mess too" Katie said trying to keep scrubbing where Oliver was now. "But it was my fault that you had to walk in the rain." Oliver argued. Oliver looked at Katie's face. He realized how close he was to her. He saw that her eyes were warm green. Her hair was now in a lose tangle as she looked down. When she finally looked into his eyes it made his heart melt. He leaned towards her. He could feel her soft breath. He was about to kiss her but suddenly Professor Mcgonickle came. Katie and Oliver quickly stood up. He could tell that her ears were now turning pink. "Explain yourselves" Mckgonngal said. "We were walking back from practice when we got caught in the rain." Oliver spoke. "I see that you are still wet and need some rest," she said looking at Katie. "you may finish cleaning your mess and off to bed both of you. 5 points will be taken off of Griffindor for not coming at dark." She then walked back from the direction she came from. Once she was out of sight, Oliver bent down to pick up his mop. When he turned around, Katie was gone. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Katie felt her face burning just thinking about what Oliver had almost done as she walked to the Griffindor house. Maybe he doesn't feel well. She thought. Or maybe he was thinking about an old sweetheart and got carried away. Katie walked into the girls bedroom. Angelina was on her bed reading the latest Witch Girl Magazine. " Do you think I should wear this to the ball in October?" Angelina asked showing a picture of a model doing different poses as she winked wearing a red robe that had diamonds on the edges of it. "It would look pretty on you," Katie mumbled as she took off her wet robes and put on her pajamas. "What took you so long?" Angelina asked, "I was just imagining that you and Oliver were somewhere making out! Weird isn't it?" Katie's was went bright red but luckily Angelina had her face in the magazine. Katie went into her covers and slowly closed her eyes. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Oliver still couldn't forgive himself for trying to kiss Katie. What's wrong with me today? He thought. I've never thought about her like this before. Most of the boys in the room were now asleep. Oliver quickly put on his pajamas and laid on his bed staring at the ceiling. He could not stop thinking about Katie.
