Long Day
"What happened?"
"Why don't you ask your beaters? I'm sure they'll be happy to tell you," I grumped; I was not in a good mood.
I tried to stand up but cried in pain as I fell back down again. Great, now what was I going to do? But, again, Oliver came to my rescue.
"Here, put your arms around my neck," he said, bending down to gather me into his strong arms. I could feel the muscles in his arms flexing as he stood up.
"This is really not necessary," I protested although I didn't mind at all.
"Sure it is," he responded laughingly. He walked across the room and gently laid me down on his bed. I was lying down...on his bed. Someone help me.
He sat at my feet and said, "All right, lemme see it." I stuck my right foot out and he gently pulled off my trainer (A/N: sneaker) and the thin ankle sock beneath it.
He started turning it this way and that and asking me if it hurt when he did this to me and so on.
"Ok, you should be fine," he said as he got up and walked over to his trunk.
Well, now was as good a time to tell him as any, "Hey Oliver?"
He looked up from his trunk before answering,"Yeah?" He started walking over, holding a green glowing icepack in his hand.
"Well, um...I have something really important to tell you." Can't turn back now.
"Ok, what is it?" he said calmly as he placed the icepack on my ankle and muttered, "Alsius."
As soon as he said that the icepack turned icy cold, causing me to gasp. Man! That was cold!
"Is that ok or do you want it warmer?" he asked, looking genuinely concerned. Aww! So sweet! I'll deal. I smiled, "It's fine, I juts wasn't expecting it."
I saw him relax before he said, "Ok, that's good. Now what did you want to tell me?" Now it was my turn to tense, this is the moment of truth...duh, duh, duuuuuh...
"Well...er...I wanted to talk to you about what happened after practice this morning." I saw him bite his bottom lip as his cheeks turned pink. Good, they should match mine right about now.
"Look Katie, I'm really sorry about this morning, I sorta got carried away and I didn't mean to yell at you before I left."
"Ollie, it's ok, I don't care what you did this morning. In fact I'm glad you did it, and if I hadn't thought that you were still going out with Lexy I probably wouldn't have stopped you." Wow, glad that's over.
I looked up into his eyes as I waited for a response. He looked surprised and I didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad one. I leaned back against the headboard and looked up at the scarlet canopy, when I looked down again Oliver was grinning.
"So does that mean you like me?" he asked. I smiled briefly..why not play with him a bit?
"Well I've always liked you Wood.but as a friend," I said apologetically, my smile changing to a frown. His face fell.
"Oh, well o-ok, I figured you might feel like that, it's no big deal," he said as he turned away and I caught a hint of what looked like tears in his eyes. Wait! I didn't want to make him cry!
I grabbed his hand and pulled him down to sit next to me. He looked surprised at my strength. Well I do play Quiditch!
I pulled him into a tight hug and whispered into his ear, "I was just playing. I really do like you." I felt his arms fully encircle me and squeeze me tight, sucking the air out of me.
It felt good to lean against his broad muscular chest with his arms wrapped around me. He gave me an extra squeeze before letting go.
I looked into his sparkling eyes as he reached over to hold my hand. His hand was rough from gripping a broom but was warm and soft as it caressed mine. "I knew you did," he said matter-of-factly. Suuuure. I wasn't that obvious...I don't think.
"Well Miz. Belle, I have an important question for you." Hmmmm...reeeeaaalllly.
"Mmmm hhhmmmm." Go on...
"Did you really think that Lexy and I were still dating?" I felt myself blush...and they said I wouldn't look stupid.
"Well, um...yeah." He started laughing and let go of my hand to check on the icepack which was now glowing blue.
He played with it a bit and then said, "Abhorreo." I felt the icepack go back to room temperature.
"Well your ankle should feel better than it did before and you'll be able to walk on it."
"Thanks Wood," I said as I swung my legs over the side of the bed. "Ok, now help me up." He hopped off of the bed to stand in front of me and slid his arms around my waist as I slid off of the bed.
"Better?" he asked. I put a little bit of weight on it and, much to my surprise, I didn't feel any pain. "Much better," I said gratefully. I noticed that his arms were still around my waist and I tilted my head to the side.
"Can I ask you another question?" he said as he bent down to whisper in my ear and I felt my heartbeat quicken. "What is it?" I asked, looking straight into his chocolate brown eyes.
"Can I kiss you?" his voice was soft and intense and I felt a prickly feeling shiver through me. "I'm not going to stop you," I whispered delicately.
I smiled inwardly as his head angled down towards mine and my eyes drifted shut. My whole body was on edge. I could feel his warm breath on my skin and..."Well now, I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
I felt Oliver jerk away quickly and curse silently under his breath. I looked over and saw Jason standing in the doorway with that stupid, stupid look on his face.
I could seriously kill him right now, bloody prick. I swear he purposefully picks the absolute worse moments to walk in on people.
He walked over grinning. "Hey Jason," I grumbled as he started laughing.
"Now Katie! I expected better of you, really," I noticed that Oliver's arms had left my waist.
"Shut up," said Oliver, punching Jason, "what do you want?" Jason just laughed again.
"George was telling me that you two had made up and I was coming to check on you." I rolled my eyes, now everyone in the common room is going to know about this. Well I must say, this is wonderful.
"Katie, I have two beautiful ladies requesting you presence in the Commons," Jason said, looking annoyed at being used as a messenger. Man this bites.
"Are you staying here?" I asked Oliver, not sure whether I wanted him to come or stay.
"I'm gonna stay up here, it's getting late," he said, I noticed a bright twinkle in his eyes.
"Ok, night night." I started walking towards the door only to feel myself being pulled back into a backwards hug which made it really hard to hug back.
I leaned back into his warm chest and wrapped my arms around his which were settled around my waist.
"G'night," he said softly as he leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on my cheek before letting me go.
I grinned and followed Jason who was shaking his head as he walked down the stairs.
Angie and Alicia squealed as I came downstairs and rushed towards me asking all sorts of idiotic questions. I rolled my eyes, Gods they can overreact when they want to.
"Come on, let's go upstairs," I moaned, not wanting to discuss this in front of the entire common room. Especially not when Fred and George are down here, they've caused enough trouble tonight.
We trailed upstairs and sat on Lissy's bed.
"So tell us all about it!"
"Yeah, spill!" hmm...to tell or not to tell, I guess I'll tell them because I am dying to tell someone.
"Ok...so first the twins grabbed me and..."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"...then I came downstairs to yourugly faces."
"I do not have an uglyface!" Alicia screeched. I laughed, I though that was a good way to end my 'lil story.
"Ok Lissy, whatever you say," I replied airily. She started pouting and then she pushed me off her bed so that I landed right on my butt! "Ouch, that hurt!" I said defensively.
"What?" Lissy said innocently, "Didn't your fat arse cushion your landing?" I heard Angie snort as she started laughing and I got up grumbling as I rubbed my already sore tailbone.
That is so not funny...I'm supposed to be the one with the quick, clever, and might I add insulting comebacks.
"Ahhhhh...I think I broke my butt bone," I moaned in the whiniest, most pitiful voice I possessed.
"Awww, I'm sorry," she replied, putting on her 'innocent' puppy face.
"Yeah right," I seriously doubt that. "Your not," I said grudgingly.
"Your right, I'm really not," she responded cheerfully. Alright...that does it. I grabbed her pillow and smacked her 'round the head with it, much to her surprise I am pleased to say.
"Yay! Pillow fiiiiiiigghhttt!" Angie screamed, grabbing the nearest pillow and hitting me with it. Now this means war!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"I can't believe McGonagall caught us!"
"Well it is late," I said as I picked up another cursed feather. McGonagall had come into our dorm in the middle of the fight and yelled at us.
"I don't see what the big deal is, it is a Saturday after all," Angie complained. I rolled my eyes in disbelief as Lissy started giggling.
"Angie, were you even listening?" Lissy asked as I snickered.
"Yeah, because she yelled at us for the feathers not the time."
She started laughing, "Do I ever listen to McGonagall?" Ummm...now that I think about it, she really doesn't.
"No, not really," and she has perfect grades in transfiguration too, "which is totally unfair," I grouched. She grinned, flashing us a model smile and striking a pose.
"What can I say? I guess I'm just perfect!"
"Yeah right," I snorted as I bent down to pick up yet another feather.
Alicia sighed, "This is taking foorreeevvveerrr!" Then a light bulb went on in my head.
"Screw this," I said, pulling my wand out of my pocket. "Scourgify!" All of the feathers flew back into he pillows they had come from.
"Yes! Who rocks?" I asked as I started my Quidditch victory dance.
"Who's going to sleep because they're about to fall over?" Lissy said through a yawn, which was totally not answering my question.
Angie and Alicia changed into their jimjams and climbed into bed. I just slipped out of my jeans and snuggled into my warm covers, hoping that I'd have time to put trousers on before anyone came up to visit.
My mind floated towards Oliver as I drifted into a deep sleep, it had been a long day and I was tired.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Yay! I finally updated! You know what I want! Review please!
