"Three cheers for Olly!" Dennis shouted over the din. I blushed. We won a really important game because I saved 1 more goal.
"Hey, guys! Don't cheer for me. All I did was have a few lucky saves," I said smiling. "And besides, this party isn't just for the victory, Kathleen, our beloved Kathleen, is leaving us!"
Kathleen O' Reily looked up and smiled. She was 30 years old and retiring already. She was a great asset to this team as chaser. As far as I've heard, we have a replacement.
"Anyone up for a round of fire-whiskey," I shouted.
"Only if you're paying Sweet Hands Olly," shouted Joanna, our seeker. Yes, you heard her right folks. My nickname is Sweet Hands Olly. Embarrassing, of course, but extremely encouraging as strange as it sounds.
I chuckled and through some galleons on the counter. "Another round."
I picked up a shot glass and gulped it down. I put down another galleon, and received another shot. Okay, so I developed a bit of a liking for whiskey. It helps me forget Katie.
Two hours and several drinks later, we emerged from the bar. Some totally smashed, others well enough to apparate. "I'll see you all in 2 days," I called over my back.

"Okay everyone! Our new chaser should be here any moment," William shouted. He's captain and beater on the team.
"Is she hot?" I asked smirking.
"Maybe she is, maybe she isn't," Will said smiling. "Besides, no team relationships. You must be really desperate to date someone...even if it results in getting kicked off the team."
I shrugged and sighed, "You can't blame a guy for trying."
"Olly, you're like a girl magnet. Thousands of teenage girls...and boys...love you. Go for a fan!" Joanna said laughing at the boy comment. Everyone else started chuckling.
I blushed. "You really are the most wanted guy in the wizarding world," Dennis stated.
"Oi look over there," Joanna said, her finger pointing toward the club house.
A petite figure was walking down the field, broom in hand. I looked down for a moment. When I tilted my head upward, I saw the most frightening thing ever.
Our new chaser is none other than Katie Bell. "Katie," I said shocked.
"Nice to see you again," she said rather coldly. I looked at her in amazement.
Will looked at both of us and said, "I see you both know each other."
She smiled slightly and turned toward the rest of the team. "Hi! My name is Katherine Bell. But please, call me Katie."
************
I waited for Katie outside the locker room door. I still can't believe she's here, I have to get here back!
Will's words rang through my head, 'Besides, no team relationships. You must be really desperate to date someone...even if it results in getting kicked off the team.' Kicked off the team! Definitely not what I want. Then again isn't this what got me to the position I am now? Choosing Quidditch over Katie?
Katie is the love of my life and Quidditch is my world. How could I possibly ever pick one over the other?
Today's practice was horrible. When I wasn't missing a block, I was being hit in the head with the Quaffle. Will didn't seem to happy with me and Katie sent me numerous glares. What, she expected me to not be distracted by her?
I heard the locker door open and I sprang to my feet as Katie walked out. Her hair was up in a pony tail, she was wearing faded jeans and a navy blue tee shirt with a white long sleeved shirt underneath.
"Katie," I said. She whirled around, glaring at me. She didn't seem as thrilled to see me as I was to see her.
"I'm in a rush, can I help you?" She said angrily.
"I..I..well, I wanted to talk," I barely managed to mumble out.
"I can't, I have other more important things to do," She said and continued walking. I chased after her.
"Please, I'll take you out to dinner, my treat!" I said. I was walking in long strides to keep up with her. Dinner, if she accepted it would be a date though, right? No team relationships... I thought about that rule for a minute and came up with a decision. Screw it. I need Katie just as much as I need Quidditch...if not more. Besides if Will ever found out I could just say it was a 'welcome to the team' kind of thing.
"No," She simply said.
"Katie, please we need to talk!" I said.
"No, I don't want to talk and I don't want to go out to eat," Katie said.
"Kates, all I'm asking is for you to go out to dinner with me, say tomorrow night. Please..." I said and put a hand on her shoulder. She stopped walking and I stepped in front of her. Her eyes were closed yet she still look furious and aggravated.
"Fine," She said finally giving in. "It is not a date though, just remember that," She said roughly. I heard a pop and she had disappeared. She had apparated away.
She left, but that didn't matter I had gotten a date with her. Sure she had told me it wouldn't be a date. That didn't matter, it was a date. At least that's what I'm going to keep telling myself.
