CHAPTER 3
"So..." Alicia had an evil glint in her eye "How'd it go?"
"What, the detention?" Katie questioned "Fine acctually."
"Oh come on Katie, you're hiding something from us!" Angelina grinned evilly
Katie leaned over the table and dropped her voice so only they could hear. "He kissed me!" she squealed
"He what?" Angelina and Alicia shouted in unison causing everyone to stare.
Katie shushed them up and dragged the two out from breakfast. She pulled them into an empty class room.
"He kissed me, gawd why do I have to repeat myself?"
"As in friendly kiss or snog?" Alicia questioned
"Snog..." Katie hissed angrily, how thick could Angelina and Alicia get?
"Wood ain't gonna be to pleased!" Angelina said
"But Angie, Wood doesn't own..." Katie stopped as the Gryffindor Quidditch captain entered the room.
"What don't I own?" he asked calmly
"Nothing!" Katie squealed and blushed
"Spill!" he grinned
"No!" Katie blushed an even deeper red
"She said you don't own her!" Angelina said
"Course I don't, but why'd she say that?" Wood asked
"Cos Flint kissed her last night at detention!" Alicia spilled "She thinks you'll be pissed off!"
"Course I'm pissed, Katie, you know you can tell me anything!"
"You don't seem to like me seeing other Quidditch team members..." Katie whispered, tears starting to run.
Wood enveloped her in a big hug and she started to cry into his shoulder "The reason I don't like you seeing them is because both your boyfriends have not only been my rivals but I don't trust them and I don't want any of my team-mates unhappy now do I?"
"No," she sobbed "but I'm a big girl, I can handle this ok?" Katie said
pulling away
"And I would appreciate it if you started talking to me again, we have been neighbours since you were two, and ever since you were old enough to have problems you came to me about them..."
"And I stopped after I started dating Diggory." she finnished "That's because I knew you didn't like him and I thought you'd get angry."
"Katie..." Wood watched as she stared at her feet.
Katie slowly rose her eyes to meet his. "Yes?"
"I won't get angry if you come to me about it, ok?" he asked
"Ok..." she forced a smile "Why'd you come in here in the first place?"
"Saw you drag these two minxes out here, I knew you were keeping something from me so I came to find out." he grinned and started to leave "Got to go to class, see you all at training!"
Alicia and Angelina waved, Katie wiped her tears away and went off to find Flint, he knew the 'get rid of tear stains spell'!
As she left the empty classroom, Katie watched as Slytherin started to leave the great hall, she was looking for Flint, he was at the back looking out for her.
"Marcus!" she shouted running up to him
"Hey sweetie..." He grinned and kissed her forehead softly "I have quidditch pratice tonight, how about you meet me up in the Astronomy Tower afterwards tonight?"
Katie smiled and stood up on her toes to kiss Flint, "Okay..." she giggled and raced after her friends to class...
~*~End Chapter~*~
A week later Katie was still happily with Flint, they met after dark
in the Astronomy Tower each night to spend time together without the houses
knowing.
After quidditch practice and a three-hour lecture on the next game from Wood, Katie was heading towards the Gryffindor Common Room when she heard a distincly female voice, being the curious little Gryffindor that she was... Katie took a peek and saw Flint snogging some mind-controlled blonde Ravenclaw.
She fumed with anger and stormed in, pulling the two apart... "I should have never trusted you! You filthy Slytherin dirt!" she screamed "Now I know why no one trusts Slytherins!" she then turned to the Ravenclaw girl and stated calmly "If you wanna stay happy, I say leave him now... I was just the Flavor of the Week and you will be too soon enough!"
"Katie please..." Flint started
"I have no time for you Flint!" she said returning comfortably back to his surname for a name.
"You had another girlfriend and fell inlove with me?" the Ravenclaw, who's name was Tina shouted, "Well concider this over, I'm so against cheating!" and she stormed out of the room behind Katie leaving the good-looking Slytherin Captain behind.
Katie had tears streaming down her face as she was let into her common room to see Wood dismissing his team... a worried look on his face.
"Oh my god! Katie!" he ran up to her after the others had gone upstairs. The common room was now empty with just the two there.
"What happened? You didn't come straight back here!" he said
Tears still flowing, she fell into his arms, "Flint...kissing...other...girl..." she stuttered
"Why that little..." Wood started steaming, not able to finnish his sentances in his anger.
Katie looked up at him with her eyes full of tears, "It's ok Oliver, I can handle it on my own, ok?" she said standing back and drying her eyes.
Another boyfriend caught snogging another girl went down the drain.
As she entered her dorm which she shared with Angelina and Alicia, Katie flew onto her bed and began to cry again.
"What happened honey?" Angelina climbed out of her comfy warm bed to sit next to her friend
Alicia was fast asleep snoring after her tireing day and didn't hear the other two talking.
"Flint was snogging some other girl!" Katie sobbed
"That low-down-scum-growing-on-a-paracite-that's-living-on-the-festy-large-arse-of-Snape!" She said, trying to cheer up Katie.
Katie nodded, giggling weakly "Yea..."
"Why do all the hotties break the innocent ones hearts?" Angelina asked
"I dunno..." Katie said as she yawned "Anyways, I'm really sleepy..."
"See you in the morning sweetie." Angelina grinned
Katie forced a weak smile "Yea... g'night..."
Before the heart-broken girl dozed off, her last thoughts were of Wood...
