Chapter 5 – What an Act
I walked into the Gryffindor Locker Rooms 3 hours later dressed and prepared for a hard training session. I sat waiting for a couple of minutes before Oliver came in from the pitch. He smiled cheekily.
"What are you doing here? Practice doesn't start for another half an hour."
I smiled.
"Well I was told by a certain someone to be here in 3 hour."
Oliver nodded and came forward to hug me.
"I wonder who that was." He said devilishly.
I shook my head and laughed. I kissed him in the lips gently before pulling out of his grip.
"I'm sorry about before in the Hall. It just seemed like the right thing to do at the time."
He frowned and bit his lip.
"What stage a fight with me or pretend to be with Diggory." He said bitterly.
I raised my eyebrows.
"Oliver that's not fair. If we want this to work, you have to realise that we have to not let Michelle notice anything. She has to think that everything is great between you two and if I get out of the picture and pretend to be with Cedric she won't suspect a thing." I smiled at him. "Plus last night when I got back to the dorm, she knew that I had been out with someone. So she practically ambushed me for the answer. Of course I couldn't say you so I thought of someone that would be believable."
Oliver nodded.
"I know but Diggory! Come on Katie. Diggory. Really. You could do so much better…" he said frowning. "Like me for instance." He joked.
I ran a hand through my ponytail.
"Would that go down well? I don't think so. Besides I'm not going to actually be with Diggory! Are you mad??"
Oliver laughed and hugged me again.
"Yes very. You know what I'm like with Quidditch! Imagine how possessive I get with my girlfriends."
I frowned.
"But you can't be. Not with me, Oliver. Not yet anyway. Remember Michelle."
He nodded.
"Katie how could I forget her? I feel like this is so wrong. Like I'm…I don't know…." He took a deep breath. "Like I'm cheating on her."
I raised my eyebrows.
"Oliver you are."
He nodded and got up walking around the room.
"I know but then when I'm with her I feel like I'm cheating on you. Every time I touch her it feels wrong and I don't feel right being with her." He slammed his fist on the locker making it clang. "I don't want to feel like this Katie, I don't."
I got up and placed my arms on his shoulders.
"Hang in there Oliver. Hang in there." I whispered kissing him on the cheek.
He spun around and ran his finger lightly down my face. He then leaned forward and kissed me. I smiled and deepened the kiss.
"Let come what may Oliver. Like you said last night, we'll face everything as it comes."
He smiled.
"Uh huh." He said before kissing me again.
I heard someone bang on the door and Oliver jumped away from me. It was Alicia and Angelina.
"Shit!" Oliver said clutching his chest. "You guys scared the hell out of me."
I frowned at the expression on Angelina's face. She had a strange look on her face that I had never seen in the 5 year of our friendship.
"Well that was the bloody point Oliver." She said smiling.
I took a deep breath. Angelina looked, as happy as Alicia was when I told her about the kiss yesterday.
"Angelina your not angry?" I asked hoping that she wasn't.
She smiled and shook her head.
"Why would I be? I'm not Michelle."
Oliver frowned.
"Thank Christ for that."
Alicia smiled.
"Don't panic Ollie. Were are happy for you and Katie." I smiled, as did Oliver. "Although we think that Michelle should know." She added raising her eyebrows.
Oliver shook his head.
"We always have our opinions don't we?" he asked smiling.
Angelina smiled.
"Of course. You wouldn't be such a good captain without them." Angelina chirped coming inside and sitting down on the bench.
Oliver laughed.
"Of course not Angelina." He frowned. "So who else knows?"
"No one as far as I know. Angelina and Alicia are the only ones." I said smiling at them.
They nodded in agreement. Oliver smiled.
"No one else ok? Absolutely no one." He looked at Alicia and Angelina. "Especially no one else on the team."
They smiled.
"Or especially Michelle." I added.
Oliver smiled.
"Yes. Especially not Michelle. Not until I tell her ok?"
Angelina nodded.
"Ok."
Oliver looked to Alicia. She smiled.
"Ok."
"Ok what?" came Fred's voice as him, George and Harry came into the locker room.
"Ok let's get out on that pitch and train." Oliver said grabbing his broom and walking out.
Fred and George looked at each other.
"Do you think he's up to something?" they asked mischievously.
I frowned.
"Nope I think he wants to get us training for our next match against Slytherin, on Wednesday afternoon." I said following Alicia and Angelina out.
"Good on you Katie! I was having a great day until you mentioned that word." George scolded following out behind me.
I laughed as we arrived on the pitch. Oliver frowned and kicked into Captain mode.
"Ok team. This practice is going to be the last one we have before Wednesday and we have to prepare for them it…"
I nodded pretending to listen to what Oliver was saying. He was right. I had a game to prepare for and thinking about Michelle's reaction when she found out wasn't going to help, although it could put me off.
