Chapter 9
What is that song?
When Oliver left the hospital wing that night, he headed to his dorm. Only he didn't go to sleep. He pulled out a piece of parchment and started to write down things he felt about Katie. He looked down at what he had written and smiled.
Can I tell you
are that you are to me, girl?
You're really something
And I give all my love to you
I don't if you feel as much as I do
All I know is you're the one for me
Always and forever
I wanna tell you I love you
And it's all right
Can you see how I feel when I'm near you?
Cos it's all right
I'll be the one to come hold you
Cos it's all right
I will always be with you
Don't you know
how my heart beats inside now?
Ain't it something the way that
you make me feel all right?
Ain't it something
how my heart feels alive now?
And it's all because
you were there beside me
I wanna tell you I love you
And it's all right
Can you see how I feel when I'm near you?
Cos it's all right
I'll be the one to come hold you
Cos it's all right
I will always be with you
I don't know if
You feel as much as I do
All I know is you're the one for me
Always and forever
I wanna tell you I love you
And it's all right
Can you see how I feel when I'm near you?
Cos it's all right
I'll be the one to come hold you
Cos it's all right
I will always be with you
I wanna tell you I love you
And it's all right
Can you see how I feel when I'm near you?
Cos it's all right
I'll be the one to come hold you
Cos it's all right
I will always be with you
He realized that he had written a poem, but it was more of a song. There was just one problem, he didn't have means to write the music or play it. He recalled Lee Jordan getting a guitar last year and saying he could use it if he wanted to, but was the offer still there? Oliver wasn't sure, but he got up to ask. He found Lee sitting in the commons room with the twins. "Hey! Lee, you still got that guitar?" Lee looked up from his game of exploding snap and concentrated on Oliver. "Yeah, why?"
Oliver questioned himself, did he want to tell Lee or not? "I've just written some lyrics to a song and I want the music written as well. Can I borrow it?" Fred and George muffled a laugh, Lee looked at him and smiled weakly. "Yeah I guess you can, it's up in my dorm. Put it back when you're done.
~*~
It was around 3 when Oliver finally finished what he had started doing. The entire song was written and he started to count the money he had. After playing around on Lee's guitar (he had played and taken a few lessons before, so he knew the chords and such) he realized again how much he loved the instrument and planned on buying one himself. It would take about another month or two of saving funds, but he could do it if he really wanted too. "Good, in a month I'll be ready to debut everything to Katie…including the song".
~*~
Katie woke from a strange dream. Oliver had been sitting with her and humming a song. It was catchy, but there were no words from what she could tell, it was wonderful though. She couldn't figure out why on earth Oliver would be humming, he never seemed to have that much interest in music.
She looked to the clock beside her bedside, 6 AM. She turned over to try and sleep, but just lay there restlessly. She couldn't sleep and Oliver's song kept repeating in her head. She tossed and turned until Madame Pomfrey came to see what her problem was. It was 7:30 in the morning and she was dismissed from the hospital wing to go back to the Gryffindor commons room. 'And do what?' she thought as she walked through the school.
As it turns out, she fell asleep on the couch, lying there dreaming and waiting for Oliver to wake her.
