I continued to do all I could to help Katie, but it was harder than I
thought. It pained me to see her, confused by everything that went on
around her, but it pained me even more to see her talking with Cedric
Diggory one day.
They were chatting in the corridor one day, and I nearly tripped over my own feet. Katie was laughing at something Cedric had said, and I immediately felt angry. As I was about to run over and pound Cedric into the ground, I stopped. I had to trust Katie, and respect her. Even though I don't know how letting anyone talk to Diggory could be respect. I walked up to them, gave Diggory a tense nod, and turned to Katie, giving her a kiss on the lips. I saw Diggory scowl out of the corner of my eye. "Wood," he said shortly. I ignored him.
"Ready for Transfiguration?" I asked Katie.
"Yeah," she said. "I think." I took her hand and we left Diggory behind.
I'd scheduled practice for that evening, to the team's displeasure. We've GOT to win this year. It was cold out, not that it mattered to me. Katie and I walked down to the pitch, and waited for the rest of the team. She begged me to let her come, so I decided to let her. Katie asked if she could play, and I was unsure. I didn't think the twins would let anything else happen, because they knew I'd kill them. We started out with Fred and George hitting bludgers at each other, Alicia taking shots on me, and Angelina passing the quaffle back and forth with Katie. Everything seemed to be going well-until Katie started taking shots on me. Alicia and Angelina were doing fine, but Katie missed by several feet. Of course, I didn't expect her to make one in, hell, I didn't even expect her to come to practice at all. Anyway, I guess she got really frustrated, because the next thing I knew, she was on the ground, running towards the locker rooms. Of course, I went after her. I dashed into the locker room, and saw that she was in a shaky heap in the corner. I sat down next to her, draping my arms around her. "I can't do it," she sobbed.
"Katie, you just got out of the hospital wing," I said. "I didn't really expect for you to be able to. Hell, I didn't even think you should have come to practice in the first place." She looked up at me, tears running down her cheeks.
"I know, but I just want everything to go back to normal. I want it all to change," she said.
"I know, so do I." I gave her a small smile. "You'll get through this," I said. "You'll remember one of these days."
"But I can barely remember my own birthday," she said sadly.
"June 2," I said. She gave me an unconvincing smile. "I should never have let this happen," I said.
"It's not your fault," she said firmly. "If it's anyone's fault, it's mine."
"You can't be blamed for what happened either," I said. "It was just a big accident." She sighed.
"Sorry for breaking down like this," she said softly.
"Katie, it's not your fault that any of this happened. I can't expect you to act like everything's OK, because it's not," I said.
"I just wish I was strong enough to handle it all," she said.
"You are," I said. "You have the guts to come to practice."
"But that doesn't mean that I have the guts to handle everything else," she said.
"You know you do," I said. "I know it, and you know it."
"I just wish I could remember," she said. "It's like my mind's empty."
Kind of like my heart.
"You'll remember soon," I said. "It'll all come back to you." She sighed.
"Yeah, I guess so." I stood up and helped her up. "Thanks," she said with a smile.
"I'm your boyfriend. What else would I do?" I took her hand and we went back out to the pitch.
(Guess who's back? Back again. Shady's back. Tell a friend! Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back?! I'm SOOOO sorry it's so short, but I thought I'd update something, because I'm not sure when I'll be able to update again. My team won the playoffs last night, so we're going to the championships on Monday, so I'll be practicing a lot. I'll see what I can do. Don't hurt me! Anyone finish OOTP? It was good, but personally, I think they should have put in more Oliver! C'mon I know you people agree. And I gotta question-I noticed JK wrote that Alicia and Angelina would be graduating. What about Katie? She must be a fifth year then, however, I won't be changing anything in my story about that. Ok, I'll shut up and work on your next chapter-after I go skateboarding. Hey! I need a break sometime too ya know! Ok, see yall later! REVIEW or I'll whack you with Olli's broomstick, which I currently have held captive....)
