~Chapter 2~
After celebrating the sweet victory over the Slytherin slime balls, the whole team had a party at the Gryffindor common room by eating Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Beans and drinking as much soda as they wanted until Hagrid would find out they stole the soda from his secret stash in his hut. The party lasted until 8:00 pm. They had to end it there because the whole Quidditch team was wiped out. After just about everyone hit their dorms, Wood and Katie managed to stay up and sit by the fire in the fireplace longer. They mostly were talking about Quidditch moves they did and the funny looks on Alicia and the other team's faces when Harry caught the snitch, until she started saying things about the dance coming up. Wood started to sweat. What was he gunna say to hide what he felt for her? He'd have to try. "Uh, Oliver, who are you taking to the dance?" she asked him. He gulped and tried to think of a thing to say. "Well, I don't know just yet, maybe nobody," he said. "Why is that? You're nice, polite, funny, and one heck of a good Quidditch player hehe," she explained, "You're perfect for any girl, and I bet 98% of the girls here think your hott too," she said smiling at him. He really didn't expect her to say something like that to him. He was definitely feeling the pressure now. "Katie, I…uh…yawwwwwwwwwwn…(he faked yawning) think we should hit the sack soon," he lied. "Together?" she asked him sarcastically. "Whoa! Slowdown there Katie. I didn't mean it that way. "Oh, don't worry about it Oliver, it was a joke." She admitted. "Uh… I knew that, I was just….testing you that's all," he lied once again. "(chuckling) You've always been this funny, I guess you never wanna grow up, and you shouldn't, I like you this way," she blurted out. Wood was ready to slap himself when she said that. He thought to himself, "Am I in a dream or something? This is just too weird." he said to himself. "Are you alright Oliver?" Katie asked worried because he was talking to himself. "Huh? What? Oh, me? Yeah, I'm cool." He said coolly. "Well, ok, I'm going to my dorm now, see-ya." she said as she walked towards the girl dorm rooms. "Ok, goodnight Katie," he said. "Goodnight Oliver." she replied. Then, a few moments later he poured some water on the fire and headed to his dorm also. The next day when Wood woke up he heard people talking and rushing for some odd reason. Right then he couldn't think of why because he was still tired. Then, when he opened his eyes, Katie was right in front of him, staring right back. "AHHHHHHH!," Wood screamed, "What the heck are you doing trying to scare me to death?!" He was so pale and he was wondering how someone so perfect could be so attached to him when he was supposed to be the one that was supposed to be doing this stuff to her. Just very strange. "Hehe, morning' Captain!" she said acting innocent. "Yikes, hey, why is everyone in a hurry?" he asked very confused. "Wow! That must have been a pretty good dream to forget what's going on." she said. "I'm sorry but I can't recall, tell me." he told her. "Um,…I wonder how you forgot, anyway, today is the dance ,duh, your such a Keeper." she said laughing. "THE DANCE! HOLY CRUD! I FORGOT!" he said freaking out. "Chill Captain, its in 5 hours, plus the only people running around are the stupid Hogwarts School Council." she said. "Oh, alright, but uh…..Who were you going to the dance with?" he asked desperately. "Uh, nobody, I'm going alone." she said sadly. "Oh, that's too bad, well I hope to see you there later." he said getting braver. After saying that, he thought he might as well stop right there or she'll force it out of him. "Well, I gotta go see if Angelina is still going solo too," she said, "see you there, Wood." "Bye" he said. ~End of Chapter 2~
