Chapter:4
The next morning Katie didn't think about Oliver. She quickly but on her clothes and walked to the dinning room for breakfast. But when she saw Oliver she pretended to drop her spoon and bent under the table to grab it . When she sat up she saw Oliver sitting next to her. "Good morning Oliver" Angelina said cheerfully. "Good morning Angelina," Oliver said as he spooned himself some porridge. Katie could tell that Oliver's eyes were red. "Trouble sleeping last night?" Katie finally spoke to Oliver. "Don't sleep easily with a thunderstorm," he said turning his head towards her. Suddenly, Merlin flew by with a letter. Katie opened it as Merlin happily ate a piece of her bacon. "It's from Mum and Dad," Katie said, "they just wanted to see how I'm doing so far." But Angelina was too busy with the letter that she got from her owl. "It's from Tom!" she shrieked. Tom was Angelina's boyfriend who had graduated last year and was now working in Ireland studying unicorns. "He said he can come to my place during Christmas vacation! Katie? I know you already asked your folks to come to the New Year Eve party but can you please ask if you can come for the whole winter break?" "I don't know, Mum wanted me home this Christmas." Angelina bit her lip. "But I'll ask anyways." "Oh thank you!" Angelina said standing up. "Now if you'll excuse me I have to go write to my parents to tell them that Tom will be staying over." Angelina walked away quickly. Katie saw that she had finish her breakfast and started to stand up but Oliver grabbed her hand. "I'm sorry what happened last night and if I we could just still be friends it would make me feel a whole lot better." Katie could see that his face was pleading for forgiveness. "Yes we are still friends," she said sliding her hand away from him. "Excuse me I also have to write to my parents." Oliver nodded. Katie walked away quickly. Merlin had finish his bacon and flew in the same direction as Katie. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Still friends. It echoed in Oliver's head while he and Lee were playing chess in the common room. Oliver knew in his heart that he wanted to tell her what he was thinking. As his knight was tackling Lee's queen, Lee started to studied Oliver's face. "What's wrong with you today?" "Nothing," Oliver said quickly, "nothing at all." "Have you found a girl to take to the ball next weekend?" Lee asked. Oliver shook his head. "That's odd. You're team captain; usually team captains already have a date by now." Oliver laughed. "Anyways, I was thinking of inviting Katie Bell. Do you think she would go with?" Oliver gulped. Lee and Katie? Then again it wasn't like they were going as a couple. Just friends. Just friends ,unless. "Oliver?" Oliver jumped. "What were you saying?" Oliver asked clearing his throat. "Do you think Katie would say yes?" Oliver coughed again. "You don't know unless you asked." Lee gave a smile. "I'll ask her tomorrow," He said, "Check!"

Katie had finished the letter to her parents. She started to walk to the girls bed room. She waved at Oliver and Lee who were just finishing chess. When she got to the room she saw that Angelina had a long piece of red fabric stretch across the floor with sewing needles and a book titled, Easy Sewing With Magic. " I thought we could make our dresses today since it'll be a week till the ball," Angelina explained. Katie nodded and pulled out her lavender fabric. She then sat down and read the book along with Angelina. Katie had trouble with her dress but luckily Angelina helped her with it. By the time she was done with hers it was dinner. Katie gave one last looked at the dress before she left to the dinning hall. Angelina had helped her put green rubies on the edges and had put laces at the end of the sleeves. Angelina had put small diamonds on her red dress with gold trimmings. And the end it was worth it. They walked down to the dinning hall with dreams of the perfect guy waltzing with them as they swept in their beautiful dresses. Katie knew that Angelina had Tom to dream of but what about her? She had never notice this before. Who was her dream guy? She stood there for wondering. Angelina turned around and saw that Katie was standing there.
"What's wrong Katie?" she asked. "Just wondering who is going to take me to the ball?" Katie said. "Oh, well you could always go with Lee, he's thinking about asking you." "Maybe I will," Katie said with a small smile. "Do you wish Tom was here?" "Yes, but I know its just a ball that when I'm out of this school I can go to as many balls with him as I like." Katie nodded her head. They continued to walk. Katie kept thinking of her dream guy. She suddenly bumped into Oliver who had a pile of papers. Paper to flew everywhere. Katie started to immediately pick up the paper. She was very embarrassed by her clumsiness. "I' m sorry Oliver," she said, "what are you doing with all these papers?" "Professor Dumbledore had asked me to do these papers for him," Oliver said helping her pick up the papers. After she had helped him with the papers she got up and returned walking with Angelina. Angelina had a big smile on her face. "What?" Katie asked. "Nothing," Angelina said still smiling, "nothing at all."
