Chapter 9:
Life is starting to get hard these days. Oliver finally said something, and asked me if I wanted to go to Hogsmeade with him. He tried to make it sound like two friends going together but I could tell he wanted it to be more than that. The only problem was that I was so worried George was going to do something to ruin our trip that I kept looking over my shoulder and only half listening to what Oliver was saying. Finally we just sat down, and talked and I stopped worrying. We had a conversation of quidditch as we drank butterbeers, then suddenly the topic changed to me.
"I really like you, Katie." He said. "I'll miss you next year." I smiled sheepishly.
"I'm gonna miss you too.... I... I've been trying to tell you that I like you all year... but-"
Oliver was still smiling, waiting for what I was about to say. "It's... it's very hard because... well, there's someone else I've known longer than you that also likes me, and I don't want to hurt his feelings, you know?" I said. His smile vanished alittle.
"Well, you should be able to go out with whoever you want to." He said.
"Yeah I know. We've worked it out, we're just friends. I just get kind of worried sometimes." I said, starting to worry even more. Oliver nodded.
"I understand." He reached for my hand, and I clasped mine around his. "But I'm glad we're here together now. I have been trying to ask you out for a while, but I wasn't sure how you felt."
I think I was blushing. "I've been doing the exact same thing."
We talked for a while longer, then we started to head back. Before we went back into Hogwarts, the greatest thing in the world happened.
"This was great, Katie! We should defiantly do this more often. How about next Hogsmeade weekend?"
"Sure!" I said, smiling, then he kissed me, and though it was quick it was still sweet and the best thing that happened to me all day.
[sorry it's so short and lame and stuff, but I had to hurry cuz I got some other stuff to do. Sorry! Longer next time.]
