CHAPTER THREE:

The next morning Katie and Oliver weren't talking, both sitting at breakfast not saying a word. You entered the Great Hall sitting in your normal spot, reading over your timetable, when Katie sat next to you.

"Please talk to me, they asked me to explain, they all want is to be there for you." Katie said and you sighed.

"Just leave me alone, I don't need you or any of them." You replied getting up and leaving. You walked to your first class which was charms. You sat near the back listening to Professor Flitwick talk about 'Mobilarbus' which you use to move objects.

"Now in front of you, you have a hedgehog, the goal is to move it into the box at the end of your tables, you may begin." Flitwick said and you took out your wand pointing it at the hedgehog then said 'Mobilarbus' causing it to slide across the table into the box, Flitwick saw and smiled brightly.

"Well done ten points to Gryffindor." He said and you said nothing.

You skipped lunch heading up to your room to grab your books for your next class, when you came back down you saw Oliver enter, you walked pass each other not saying a word until he grabbed you arm causing you to turn round.

"Can we talk?" Oliver asked and you eyed him closely.

"For a minute." You replied and he sat down motioning you to sit across from him.

"I'm sorry about yesterday, Katie and I shouldn't of been discussing what we were, I never meant for it to get out of control the way it did." Oliver said and you looked at your book.

"I don't know why your apologising, you meant every word you said and your completely right, I shouldn't of gone to you what were going to do, if you would excuse me I have to go." You replied getting up and left the common room fighting back the tears.

Over the next few days nothing much else happen beside the fact Katie said sorry whenever she saw you. One night you were working by the fire, when an owl flew in dropping a letter in your lap, you opened it knowing straight away who it was from.

Can I come over?

You looked over at Katie who was watching you, you gave a small nod and she got up walking over sitting beside you opening her mouth but you held up your hand.

"Before you say your sorry again, don't be." You said and she closed her mouth.

"I should be the one to sorry, and I am truly sorry." You added and Katie hugged you, much to your surprise.

"You don't know how much I've missed you." Katie said wiping her eyes and you smiled for what seemed like the first time.

"I've missed you too." You replied and the two of you hugged again.

The next morning you were awaking by Katie jumping on your bed.

"Katie what are you doing here?" You asked looking at your clock then at Katie.

"Well since it's the weekend I thought we should hang out." Katie replied pulling the covers off you.

"No Katie I want to be....." You started the stopped yourself, did you really want to be alone anymore? Had you been wrong to push everyone away? Maybe you did need them if they were willing to take you back.

"Are you getting up or what? I've picked out some nice clothes for you too." Katie said and you sat up.

"Katie, are we still friends?" You asked and she walked over sitting next to you.

"Of course, never stopped." Katie replied giving her another hug then pulled you up.

"So hurry up and get changed then we can get some food." Katie added and you quickly got changed licking arms with Katie as the two of you headed down to the Great Hall. The two of you entered getting very strange looks from everyone, guess it was because you were smiling. Katie led you over to where everyone was and cleared her throat causing everyone to look up.

"Morning everyone, move over Fred." Katie said sitting down and pulling you beside her, aware they were all watching you.

"What's up with you guys? The food can't be that bad." Katie added as if nothing had changed. Fred put his arm round you.

"It's good to have you back." He said and you smiled giving him a hug.

"Thanks Fred." You replied then Angelina, Alicia and George all got up hugging you.

"We wanted to talk to you but we thought it was best to leave you." Alicia admitted.

"It's okay I did want to be alone but I've realised that I was wrong to push you all away and I'm really sorry." You said as Oliver got up walking out, you looked down then got up running after him.

"Oliver please wait." You called and he stopped facing you.

"Do you think everything goes back to normal just because you and Katie made up and everyone forgives you, cause it doesn't work like that." Oliver said and you shook you head.

"I know that, I don't want things to go back to exactly the way they were, I want a fresh start, a new beginning." You replied.

"Why now?" Oliver asked.

"Because after talking to you, I realised I hated the way I had pushed everyone away, I didn't want to be alone anymore." You replied feeling tears come to your eyes.

"You were never alone everyone tried to talk to you." Oliver said and you wiped your eyes.

"I know but I didn't want them." You replied.

"Then who did you want?" Oliver asked.

"I wanted you." You whispered and he looked at you.

"Well it's too late now." Oliver replied then walked off and you went up to your room.
