AN: Hello once again faithful readers! I told you I would give you a couple of chapters b4 Chrissie didn't I? I am going to apologise in advance for the spelling of Madam Pompfey. Is that how you spell it? Anyway if someone could look it up for me *winks * it would be great! Why don't I look it up you ask? Well that would involve getting up from my computer and walking up the stairs to hunt for my book, as frankly I couldn't be bothered as I am on a major brainwave!
Chapter 11 – Truth or Dare
I didn't leave the hospital wing until 8 pm that night. Dinner had already finished so I made my way up to my dorm, stomach grumbling. I was surprised that I would even be back in the tower tonight, but that just shows you the power of my persuasion and I guess really the power of my nagging. Nagging always did get me everywhere, especially at home. When I entered the common room, it was fairly empty which wasn't at all surprising for a Monday evening. Everyone else had had to go back to class after the match today and that would be why I didn't see any team members in the common room. I looked around for Michelle, Tegan or even Angelina but it looked like they had gone up to the dorm as well. Even night owl Oliver wasn't anywhere to be seen. That could also be a bad sigh. No Oliver. No Michelle. Please tell me they weren't together. I shrugged it off and opted to go up to my dorm and sleep or something. I trudged up the stair unnoticed still in my Quidditch gear from this afternoon. My arm was healed, Madam Pompfey had healed it with a simple spell but she wanted me to stay in the hospital wing for a little while. I opened up the door of my fifth year dorm and the sight that I was greeted with was nothing short of a party. A pyjama one at that. Everyone looked up from the floor as I came in. Angelina, Alicia, Tegan, Michelle, Angelina's sister Siana and about 3 of her 4th year friends were all gathered on the floor sitting on pillows and eating chocolate frogs. Angelina jumped up off the floor.
"Katie, hows your arm?" she said hugging me.
I laughed.
"Better. Well it's not broken anymore anyway." I said flopping down on my bed.
Michelle tutted and stood up.
"They didn't even let you change out of your Quidditch Robes?" she said disgusted.
I sighed and put on a fake smile.
"Michelle changing wasn't exactly on my list of priorities when I had a broken wrist that needed mending." I said sarcastically and full of bite.
Michelle glared at me.
"Well someone's in a bad mood. Could it be that time of the month?" She said loudly with a devilish smile.
Siana and her friends started laughing. Angelina glared at them. I bit my tongue to stop me from saying something that I could regret. I did narrow my eyes thought. That was all I could manage in this pissed off state.
"Siana, Carmen, Jordan and Maddie. I think its time you guys left." Angelina said walking towards the door and opening it.
She didn't like what Michelle said. Siana groaned.
"Come on Ange. The games just starting to get interesting!" she complained.
Angelina shook her head.
"What game are you guys playing?" I asked get up off my bed and walking towards them.
Siana smiled.
"Truth or Dare." She turned to Angelina. "Come on Ange I was just going to ask Michelle a question!"
Michelle got up.
"Come on Ange. Please." She pleaded using her puppy dog eyes.
I rolled my. Merlin that only worked on Oliver. Angelina relented and closed the door. I sighed and made my way back to the bed to grab my pyjamas. I didn't particularly feel like sticking around if Siana and her friends were going to be here. Don't get me wrong, Ange is a great friend but Siana is very very childish. I opened up my draw to get my pyjamas out. I turned around to go to the bathroom and Angelina was standing there.
"Come on, join us Kat. It'll cheer you up." She said pleadingly.
I nodded. Ok fine. Let's hope Siana's question was a good one.
"Well are you two going to sit down?" Michelle asked importantly.
Ange and I nodded and I joined the girls on the bed of pillows.
"Ok Siana, your turn." Tegan said shifting so that she could lie down.
Siana took a deep breath and smiled devilishly.
"Michelle, umm…." She looked up at the roof and then smiled again. "Have you slept with Oliver?"
Angelina gasped at her sister's question and Tegan, Maddie, Jordan and Carmen laughed. Alicia looked at me awkwardly and I did…absolutely nothing. I wanted to know the answer as well, but I couldn't believe that Siana had asked it. Michelle smiled wickedly.
"You want the truth?" She said dramatically.
Siana nodded and her friends continued to giggle.
"Yes." She whispered simply.
"Really?" Alicia burst out.
Michelle smiled.
"Yeah."
Angelina breathed again. Maybe it was like when they first started going out and the technically Oliver didn't cheat on me with his girlfriend. Wait did I just think that?
When did this happen?" Angelina asked stunned.
Michelle smiled devilishly again. Siana and her friends were still giggling.
"Like last night." She said standing up. "Come on guys you'd better go." She said motioning to Siana and her friends.
They stood up and followed her to the door. I looked down at the floor. Well that totally sucked. I mean Oliver cheated on Michelle with me then he had 'slept' with Michelle. Angelina rubbed my arm soothingly as Michelle bid goodbye to Siana, Maddie, Jordan and Carmen. Michelle slammed the door and flopped down on the pillow again. She looked around at our stunned faces.
"Guys don't look so stunned! It was going to happen. I mean we are in love." She said grabbing another chocolate frog.
I stood up and grabbed my clothes of my bed.
"Well I'm going to have a shower." I said walking into the bathroom and shutting the door.
I locked it with a spell and turned leaning back on it. Tears started to roll down my face. Why did every time I fell in love with Oliver, and yes there had been more than once, nothing every turned out right. He slept with her while being with me. I know that we are having an affair but that has nothing to do with this! Ok so maybe it did. A little. A lot. Oh fine! That was the whole point!
*
At 10 pm everyone in the dorm, excluding me was asleep. Michelle's words were still torturing me. 'Guys don't look so stunned. It was going to happen. I mean we are in love.' I rolled over and slammed my fist into my pillow. My other hand thankfully, I wasn't that stupid to use my injured arm. Why did this happen to me? I was so angry! I had the right mind to go over and kick Oliver's butt! Hang on that wasn't a bad idea. I listened for hints that someone was awake. After about a minute I realised that I didn't have to creep around anymore as I had cedric as my alibi. I pulled back my hangings, slipped my feet into my slippers and made for the door. Amazing it didn't even creek, houses elves must have fixed it. I then put on my best pout, shut the door and made my way through the common room and to the 7th year boy's dorm. I knocked loudly on the door hoping that I was waking the occupants up. I heard some voices, some shuffling and then the door opened to reveal Oliver in a pair of long sweat pants, with messy hair and half opened eyes. He smiled at me.
"Katie, what are you doing here so late?" he asked rubbing his eyes.
I glared at him.
"You slept with her." I said angrily.
Oliver frowned.
"I slept with who?" he asked sleepily.
I waited. He was still asleep but the minute he realised what he said he would awake. His eyes widened.
"What?! Who told you that?" he asked stunned.
"Who do you think Oliver?! Santa Claus thought that he would drop off an early Christmas present and tell me that you slept with Michelle! Michelle told me Oliver, who do you bloody thing?!" I yelled angrily.
"Shhhhh." Oliver hissed.
I glared.
"Don't you dare shhh me Oliver! So it's true then? I don't hear you denying it."
Oliver looked at me pained.
"Would you believe me if I did?" he asked raising his eyebrows.
I shook my head.
"YOU SLEPT WITH HER! WHAT DO YOU THINK???" I yelled again.
Oliver grabbed me by the hand and pulled me into his dorm.
"I didn't sleep with her Katie! Why would I? I hate Michelle." He said shaking his head.
I pulled my arm away from him. I don't care how much he pleaded. I didn't believe him. Did I? I mean who could resist with him standing there in…no don't think about that.
"She's your girlfriend Oliver. Apparently it was bound to happen. You two are in love! And it happened last night! Now try to tell me that you didn't do it."
Oliver's eye's flashed.
"You don't trust me do you?" he said angrily. "I mean I would trust you with my life and you…" He shook his head. "And you believe some bloody lie that Michelle tells you. I thought you hated her."
How dare he turn this on me!
"Are you kidding?! I do!" I yelled. "Don't you dare turn this back on me! You slept with the girlfriend that you don't love!" I yelled back at him.
"I DIDN'T FOR MERLINS SAKE!" he yelled back. "You're the one that doesn't trust me."
I glared.
"Why the bloody hell should I trust you if I hear that from her. I don't often listen to a thing that Michelle says, but I swear that this was genuine."
Oliver still shook his head.
"You don't trust me! Who cares if it did happen, which mind you it didn't. You don't trust me. A relationship is built on trust Katie. Trust. What's the good in continuing this relationship if you don't trust me."
I felt like I had just been slapped in the face. Fine if he wanted to play like that.
"You know your exactly right, Oliver. What good is this relationship? It's not as if it would have worked anyway!"
Oliver looked hurt. Like he had been slapped also or told that he had lost a player. That's it.
"I quit. I quit fighting with you over Cedric, fighting with you over Michelle and I just quit this relationship all together. I quit our friendship and I QUIT the team." I then turned towards the door.
"Fine!" he yelled back at me.
"Fine." I said grabbing hold of the doorknob and slamming the door in his face.
The door rattled. Soon as I did it tears ran down my face. I made to leave by took only 2 steps before I collapsed on the ground in a heap. I leaned up against the wall and screwed up my face crying. I couldn't believe that I just broke up with the guy I loved. The guy who apparently loved me. And the twisted thing was that it didn't have to happen. It was just neither was going to back down. After Oliver denied it I realised that I believed him. He had never lied to me before why would he start now. Not after everything that we had planned to keep it from Michelle. And then in the need of another thing to quit, I declared the only thing that could recapture my spirit, the team. I wiped the heavy flow of tears from my eyes. It was over now and I bet that neither of us had the guts to say sorry. It just wasn't in my pride to do it. But yet I couldn't leave his door. I just couldn't. I closed my eyes and let the tears still flow. What had I done? Just then the door flung open and Oliver came out and kneeling down beside me he pulling me into a hug.
"I don't want to end it Katie. I don't." He said kissing me on the forehead. "It's not true ok? It didn't happen. Michelle is lying. It wouldn't happen. It wouldn't."
I nodded and wiped away the tears. I didn't think in a million years that Oliver would do that.
"I know. And I do trust you Oliver." I said hugging him back.
He smiled. Well I guessed I trusted him.
"And please I need you on the team. You're my best chaser."
I laughed. Sure I was.
"Your just saying that cause we're dating." I said as he hugged me tightly.
He laughed.
"Yes I am." He said playfully.
I slapped him on the arm.
"Well thanks."
He chuckled slightly.
"Well my best injured chaser anyway."
I laughed.
"I'm your only injured chaser." I said smiling.
He kissed me on the lips.
"Thank Merlin for that." He said standing up and pulling me up as well.
I nodded.
"Oh and Josh said to tell you that you can certainly yell." He said smiling devilishly.
I laughed.
"And Percy says that you should go back to your dorm or as head boy he will report you."
I grinned.
"Tell Percy that I don't give what he says." I said winking and making my way out of the boy's dorm.
Oliver chuckled.
"I certainly will." He said shutting the door.
Wow that was very eventful. I sighed as I reached the common room. I stopped and looked up the staircase to the girl's dorm. I didn't want to go back up there so I laid down on the couch in front of the fire. Maybe it wasn't the best place to sleep but it certainly would be the warmest.
AN: Thanks for the reviews guys, keep it up! Love ya all! Review now!
