Chapter 8
Angelina knew that getting Katie and Oliver together wasn't going to be
easy. Oliver was too stubborn to tell Katie how he truly felt, and Katie
would deny it if any boy loved her. Katie never had someone to love. She
was indeed very beautiful, but never in their friendship had Angelina ever
saw a boy love Katie as much as Oliver did. They were going to have to
trust in fate. Angelina remembered when she didn't believe in fate.
It was before she met Tom. What would have happened if she didn't bump into
Tom accidentally? What would had happened if the papers that each had held
had gotten mixed up; if he didn't ask her out a couple days after? Angelina
could answer this. Nothing. Nothing would have happened because that was
the way fate worked. It was meant to be. Just the way it was for Oliver and
Katie.
Angelina and Katie had just gotten back from Quidditch practice. Katie went upstairs to clean up while Angelina was sitting in the common room pondering about how she could help more with Oliver. Lee had just walked in. "Did the rat thing work?" Lee asked. "Well, it did get them to be friends again but Katie is still clue less about Oliver's feelings towards her." "Then I think we should try my plan now", Lee said with a grin. "Lee, it won't do much, remember the Ball? How Oliver screwed up?" Angelina exclaimed. "I'm telling you Angelina, it's going to work this time," Lee argued, "What else can we do?" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hogsmeade was one of the Last Years favorite places to go during the weekends. Usually the last years would go around town during the day but by nightfall they would drink and dance at Three Broomsticks. It was now nightfall and everyone was inside the pub warming themselves from the bitter winds and listening to the loud festive music. Angelina, Lee and Oliver were all sitting around a table as Katie went to get the drinks. "Hey Oliver! They're playing your music back home!" Lee said to Oliver, "Why don't you ask someone to dance?" "Lee if you wan to dance with me why didn't you just say so?" said Oliver. Angelina started to laugh. "Can I have a hand here?" cried Katie as she carried the mugs to the table. Oliver immediately went to help Katie. "Lee you don't know how to do it!" Angelina said while Oliver went to Katie, " He's not very bright. You need to just tell him who to ask!" "That wont work! He won't dance with someone until someone else is on the dance floor and nobody knows the steps!" "But you're the only one besides Oliver who knows the steps!" "Then come with me!" Lee grabbed Angelina hand and took her to the dance floor. Katie and Oliver had just set the mugs on the table when they saw Lee and Angelina dancing. "Great I waited for fifteen minuets just to get drinks and they're now dancing!" Katie complained. "I know how to solve that" Oliver said and led her to the dance floor. "I don't know these steps!" Katie complained. "Let me show you!" Oliver said as he put his left hand on her waist and her hand on his hand. . "Just follow my steps and I'll lead" he explained. Soon enough they were twirling on the dance floor. Angelina and Lee stopped and they joined the group who was watching them dance as they clapped their hands along the beat. "Do you think this will work?" Lee asked Angelina. "Of course!" she exclaimed. "Look at the way he just looks deep into her eyes. He's totally enchanted by her!" "Your wrong" laughed Lee. Angelina gave a confuse look. "She's enchanted by him!" Lee explained.

It was now after midnight and Katie, Oliver Lee and Angelina had left the pub. Katie could still feel her face burning. She couldn't decide whether it was from all the dancing or because it was the way Oliver had held her on the dance floor. "I had the most wonderful time!" she told Oliver. "Where did you learn how to dance so well?" "Lee and I live in Edinburg, Scotland. My mum is a muggle. She and my dad had lived in a small town right outside of Edinburg when they were young. That's how they meet. Of course, she went ballistic when she found out about my dad. That didn't stop her from teaching, me about her culture and all. I taught Lee so he could get Maggie's attention." "Who's Maggie?" giggled Angelina. "Just a girl that I know in Edinburg" Lee said blushing. "My parents were both wizards. Katie said changing the subject. "They went to this school. My mum was a Ravenclaw and my Dad was in Hufflepuff. None of them expected me to be in Gryffindor. My dad wants me to learn trysics."
"What's that?" Oliver asked. "It's when you use magic from your hands instead of your wand." Katie explained. "I remember hearing that!" said Lee, "It's really hard to do! I heard it takes ten years just to be able to actually make an effect out of it!" Katie nodded. "It's been in my dad's family for years. He's very proud of it. I can only move small objects though." When they finally reached to the castle they were exhausted. Angelina and Katie said goodnight to the boys. Before Katie went upstairs Oliver grabbed Katie by the hand and told her how he had a wonderful time. Katie smiled and bid Oliver farewell. "Success" Angelina whispered to herself as they went under their covers.
