That Crazy Thing Called Love
Authors Note- Sorry it's been so long, but it's been under a year! Thank you Duckie for bugging the hell out of me until I did this (just kidding). I don't know why Hogwarts would ban relationships, they just did. Maybe I'll add in a reason or something. Enjoy!
Chapter Two- A Not-So-Muggle-Love-Story (how corny can I get?)
Katie laid wide awake in her four post bed. The only light was tinted blue, moonlight gazing through the window. As she laid there, she wondered what made it so blue. Her distracted thoughts were discontinued when she heard Alicia's deep breathing from the bed next to her, everyone was asleep. She pulled her robe over her nightgown and crept out of the room.
The fire was still roaring in the common room, but it was entirely deserted, no one was there. She called out his name, no answer. It was only then she saw a small piece of paper laying under a single rose.
' If you're reading this, you're looking in the wrong spot'
It was turning into a scavenger hunt, one that was beginning to annoy Katie, but in other ways intrigued her. The smell of that rose and the thought of seeing Oliver in only moments is what made her daring enough to sneak out of the castle.
The cool nights air nipped at her skin through the thin robe. Icy dew covered the grass and bit at her bare feet. And yet, she slowly traveled across the large lawn, just in case she were to accidentally miss him.
Katie reached the edge of the enormous late, her toes curled in the water and her arms wrapped around herself. She sighed, able to see her warm breath float across the air.
" Miss Bell".
She turned on heel, the voice not scaring her, " Mister Wood" she grinned uncontrollably.
He too was in his robe, and arm hidden behind his back, " I didn't think you would come" he revealed another identical rose to her, " thought you'd like another one".
Her smile grew wider as she accepted his offering, " you know fast we would be expelled if we were to be caught? Aside from Quidditch, we're not even allowed to talk to each other".
Oliver smirked, " what they don't know can't hurt us".
She raised herself on tiptoe, leaning towards him. Just as their lips almost brushed against each other, he backed away. " What?" she whispered.
He turned on an angel, " I-I'm reading this book".
Katie shrugged, " alright. You know, Hermione Granger isn't the only one who reads around here".
" It's an old Muggle story called Romeo and Juliet, actually it's a love story. Took me two weeks, but I finally understand what that Shakespeare guy is saying. These two teenagers fall in love right when they first see each other, but because of the world they live in, they can't be together. So they do everything in secret, everything".
She sighed, " what are you trying to say?".
He faced her, " we're kind of like them".
" I don't know Oliver" she once again huddled her arms around herself, " Hogwarts is all I have, I'm an orphan without it".
Oliver weakly nodded, " you can't be alone".
Katie threw her arms down at her sides in rage, " why Oliver? Why can't you just ever tell me what's on your mind, or anything you're thinking!" she found herself screaming, which increased her chances for them getting caught.
He remained completely still, " because I'm afraid" he gently said.
Tears dwelled in her eyes, " what are you so afraid of?".
" To do this" and in one swift movement, he kissed her.
Another Authors Note- Short and sweet, just until Duckie can keep helping out.
