Katie
A fic from Oliver Wood's Point Of View


I gazed silently around the locker room. The sight before me looked just like what I felt. Depressed, nervous, and yet somewhat...... hopeful. They knew the Quidditch Cup meant everything to me. Of course, it meant a lot to them, but it was my last chance to see the cup with our name on it. Strangely, I had nothing to say to the team before the game.
"That's a first," the Weasley Twins had pointed out. Every one had agreed.
As we walked onto the field, I grasped onto hope. If we could just win by 60 points, that cup would have our name on it.
At the sound of Madam Hooch's whistle, I rose from the ground, my team mates following suite.
When we were up by 60, I begged silently for Harry to catch the Snitch. Strangely, though, my mind wasn't focused mainly on Harry. It was on Katie. I sat, lost in thought, but my attention was dragged back to the game when Lee Jordan began cheering furiously, along with most of the crowd. I noted with pride that Harry had caught the Snitch.
"Wait a minute," I said to myself, "We were up by enough......... YES!" I began crying, I was so happy. I flew over to Harry, and hugged him. We had won the cup! We were joined by the rest of the team in a matter of seconds. We sank back to the earth, still cheering. After the celebration had somewhat calmed down, the team headed to the locker room for one last talk led by me. As we walked, I talked animatedly to Katie.
"I'm so happy that we finally won the cup!" Katie said happily. I nodded, still not believing it.
"Yeah. Can you believe how many fouls there were, though?" I asked.
"I know! Angelina got nearly knocked off her broom, Malfoy grabbed the back of Harry's Firebolt, and the Beaters hit the Bludgers right into your stomach, both of them in a row! Not to mention they grabbed my head. I still have a headache from it!"
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault!"
"I hate Slytherin."
"All of us do."
"I know!"

A/N: I am so sorry it's so short. Part 1is sort of a lead into the real story. I'll get Part 2 done ASAP. It'll have the Oliver/Katie part of the fic. Beware, it may be the last part of the fic!
