It's a weird start of a new chapter taking into consideration where we left off, I
got stuck, I will fix it though and add it in, expect it by Wednesday the 18th of June.
It was a long weekend in October, so all the 5th years and above got to leave the Hogwarts
grounds, Hogsmeade and such. Alicia had arranged for the Quidditch team, exempting Harry(he
was only a third year), to go camping. Apparently Fred and George had found a great place on the
opposite side of where the Forbidden Forest is. It had a lake and everything, sounded like a great
place to just get away from everything. They were going to be there for three nights and four
days. So Fred, George, Angelina, Alicia and Katie would be up there. Oliver hadn't said whether
he was coming or not. George and Angelina would be "together" but Katie had come to terms
with that. Katie also had a feeling that Alicia and Fred might start something. So, it would be
Katie, just Katie, that would be ok right?, yea it would definitely be good, no guys to worry
about, just a relaxing weekend.
Katie rummaged through her bag for the weekend, "Twelve outfits, should be good...hmm, nah
better make it thirteen. A book... yuck! What was I thinking? Gilderoy Lockhart? Must have
picked up the wrong one, that's better, "Quidditch Through the Ages, hair removing potion, ooh I
bet Angelina would love that. Ha , let her be hairy, and she is so very hairy. Katie started to
laugh. Angelina and Katie had just repaired there friendship but, Katie was still a little sore, not
about George, but that Angelina didn't tell her. "Katie hurry up! It's 5 o'clock, c'mon!" Alicia had
shouted up the girls staircase. "Alright keep you pants on, I'm almost done" Katie muttered.
Katie zipped up the bag and headed down the stairs, everyone was there "Oh man" Katie
groaned, Lee was going to come too. "He's starting to pass into stalker phase" Katie thought.
She started to remember how she had asked to go to the hospital wing to grab her papers from
Madame Pomfrey, and Lee had started coughing in class and saying he needed to go too. "Oh
well, I'll make the best of it right?..."
"Hey guys, oh Lee your coming too? Swell!" She had tried to make it sound convincing, she
even put on a smile, Lee was stumped he just sat there and gawked.
"Thought you might have gotten lost or something" Fred grinned.
"Ha, ha , ha." Katie jokingly scoffed.
"Are we waiting for him?" Alicia asked Fred.
"Nope he's meeting us up there."Fred answered.
"Lets get this show on the road!" Fred yelled.
"Wait how are we getting there?" Angelina asked.
"Brooms of course!" Fred replied.
So they left at half past five, Fred and George went to grab some food for the trip, and got there
about 8 o'clock.
Everyone flopped on the ground upon finding their destination. Fred set up the tents, one for
girls, one for guys.
"God I love magic!" Fred said as he magicked both tents up.
"Fire anyone?" George asked.
"Definitely!" Alicia and Angelina chorused.
"Well now, to start off the evening, why not a little Truth or Dare, hmm?" Alicia asked as she got
her wand out. They gathered in a circle around the fire, it was low enough to see over the flames.
"Ok Lee, I'll dare you first!" Fred grinned, "hmm, what to dare, what to dare, oh , kiss Katie!"
"Oh brother" Katie tried to smile, everyone was looking at her, and Lee's eyes were about to fall
out of his head.
"He could be an ok kisser...and if that's so, then maybe this weekend won't be too bad! "Katie
mused.
"Well pucker up Lee!" Katie moved closer to Lee, she didn't think she'd have to , because Lee
was glued to her thigh in the beginning, but he was fidgeting so much, now she had to move
closer.
"There's plenty of trees mate" Fred whispered audibly.
Lee blushed, not easy to see on his dark skin, but such was the embarrassment. Then he balled
his fists and dived for Katie's mouth.
It was too fast for Katie to get even a hint of what type of a kisser he was. So it was the mission
of the weekend, Katie thought, to find out what type of kisser Lee is, hmm, a worthy quest! The
game went on for hours, everyone giggling, and everyone eventually kissed everyone. A
little awkward when George and Katie kissed but, that was old news for her, and George seemed
to get it, so things were going to be cool between them again.
They split up into separate tents and said there goodnights.
It must have been 5 in th morning
when Katie woke up. She was on the inner most side of the tent so, she had to climb over Alicia,
and Angelina, how she wanted to give her a good kick. Angelina would never know that Katie
thought these things , because they had worked things out, and Katie said everything was fine.
And it was fine, it was just so much easier to hold at least one person in contempt and to think
these things, it's rather humorous really, saying "hello" and smiling and thinking other things that
she would never know.
She opened the zipper, good lord that thing was loud. Katie started to laugh, Angelina thought it
was a bee or something and started to frown and throw her arms around in her sleep."What a git"
Katie laughed. She went off to look for firewood, she loved being first up, she camp back to find
someone else adding firewood. Oliver.
"Oh God!" Katie said as she dived behind a tree. She
could hear Oliver laugh, and then she only heard silence. Then Oliver walked past her tree, and
looked at her and laughed as he picked up a big piece of wood.
"Oh" Katie stammered, " I saw this stick and I thought it was cool, and I wanted to make sure I
got it..."
"Understand" Oliver chuckled.
She watched him bend over and grab another stick, she didn't even realize she was starting to
gaze at him.
Still smiling Oliver said "I've made some hot chocolate, if you wanted to join me."
"Sure, ok , sounds good" She followed him back to the fire pit, and dropped the wood into the
pile. Oliver turned to pour the hot chocolate, and Katie immediately started to comb through her
hair with her fingers, and try to fix herself up as best she could.
He turned around and she threw her hands back in her lap, leaving one chunk of hair untouched.
He handed her the glass then reached towards her hair, Katie closed her eyes and bit her lip. "Just
a leaf" he said as he pulled it out and discarded it. "Thanks!"
Katie looked around at the campsite, and noticed a third tent, she frowned at it. Oliver, following
her gaze said " I decided, that there would be more room , if I had my own tent, and I didn't want
to wake anyone else up."
"Hmm"she sighed unimportantly.
"So what did you do last night?" Oliver asked.
" We played truth or dare..." Katie answered embarrassedly
"Sounds fun, did you kiss Lee?
"What? Well, yea I, he got dared, but..."
Oliver laughed, " I just know that he, well I shouldn't tell you, but he fancies you."
"Does he?" Katie knew this of course, but acted as if she didn't.
Oliver nodded and laughed.
"Why is that funny?" Katie asked frowning.
"I wasn't laughing at that, I was just laughing, you know just laughing..."
Katie just looked at him.
The sound of the twittering birds and chipmunks, was only broken by a loud yawn, then the
sound of a zipper. "Oh hullo Oliver!" It was Fred, only in his boxers, not a bad sight, but Katie
turned her head anyways.
"Hullo yourself!"Oliver called back.
The others began to wake up, and they ate breakfast.
The guys all decided to play a bit of Quidditch, no surprise, Katie would have too , but she
wasn't quite in the mood, strange, she wasn't, she just wasn't. So Katie offered her
broom to Lee. Angelina and Alicia played though. Katie spent her afternoon sketching the view.
Around 4:30, everyone was coming back from their quidditch, everyone was there except Oliver,
"Where's Oliver ?"
"He stayed on to practice some more." Angelina answered.
"I think I'll go swim a bit" Katie told everyone, "how do you get to the lake Fred?"
She got her directions, and headed out , towel in hand. She got there and saw that there was a
towel already there, along with a pair of shorts on the edge of the bank. Katie looked up to see
Oliver in the water.
"Oh sorry! I'll come back later!" Katie spun on her heel, and waited for a reply.
"It's ok, I was just going to get out, hold that towel out will you?"
Katie grabbed the towel off the stump of a nearby tree, and held it out, waiting for him to take it,
but he started to get out, so she snapped her eyes shut and bit her lip. She felt the towel get taken
from her hands, and something warm on her cheek, she opened her eyes, Oliver had kissed her.
"Thanks luv"
"Oh wow, don't stare..." she told herself. "Sure" she gulped.
She thought he was going to leave now, but he didn't, he just sat down on the stump, towel
around his oh so tan waist.
"What are you doing?" Katie asked him.
"Well, Fred says he thought no one should be by themselves, so I'll stay here with you."
"But you were by yourself!"
"Yes but, I'm not a lady am I?
"So what? You're going to watch me bathe?"
"No, I'll keep my head turned, and keep you company."
"Alright then, swear you won't?."
"I swear it."
(Change of POV)
Katie took off her clothes, and Oliver could hear them hit the earth. His knuckles turned white,
but he just breathed and thought of something else, yea right.
Katie just swam for a bit, then remembering her hair, she cursed, she had forgotten her wand.
"Uh Oliver?"
"Yea?"
"Do you have your wand?"
"Yea, what for?"
"I forgot mine, and I need to wash my hair. It's a simple spell." Katie told him the incantation.
"Right, well I've got my eyes closed, so do we play Marco Polo till I find where you are?"
"Just open your eyes, I'm below the water, so it's fine."
"Right, ok" He kept his gaze as high as he could while still being able to see her head. Once he
found her, he took aim, and closed his eyes again. "Well lets hope I don't miss, huh? No need for
silky feathered ducks." He shot the spell into the water. Right on target.
(Change back)
"Thanks a lot" Katie told him. She washed the rest out. "Ok, I'm going to come out
now."
Oliver stood up with her towel spread open for her.
"Ok, you promised."
Oliver just grinned. Keeping his eyes shut tight.
She jumped out of the water, and ran towards her towel, grabbed it and threw it around herself.
"Can I open my eyes yet?"
"Yes"
He opened them and smiled. "Where are my shorts?"
"Over on the edge of the water aren't they?"
He looked around the bank, then looked in the water, about 30 ft. away were his shorts.
Katie saw and couldn't help but laugh a little, Oliver looked over and grinned mischievously, he
grabbed her clothes for her and made to hand them to her and coughed as he threw them in the
water.
"Oliver!"
"Well If I don't get clothes neither do you! Besides look at these ducks, they're so out of date!
Brown was last seasons color"
Katie laughed, giving him a strange look.
Oliver looked at her and explained " my sister watches that American show 'Queer eye for the
straight guy'"
They started off for the 20 minute walk back to camp. Katie walking a step ahead of Oliver.
"We'll get them tomorrow, no worries"
"Alright then."
"Katie hold on a minute"
"I'd like to get back to camp"
"No , I know, it's just there's a spider on the back of your towel, here I'll get it" Oliver reached
for her towel, but too late, Katie shrieked and flung her towel of her, at the same time
remembering she was naked, so she dove behind the nearest tree.
"Ugh, now what?"Katie said exasperated.
"I'll go grab that towel"
"No way! Gross! I'm not using that towel! I HATE spiders!!!"
"So are you going to walk back in the buff?"
"No , I dunno..."
"Well listen, my towel is pretty big, you could share it with me."
Katie just peered around the tree at him. Boy these boys think they can have anything. "Ha"
"Just come here."
Oliver waited then looking at her, grinned and closed his eyes. He had the towel wrapped around
his waist 3 times, so he un did 1 ½ of those wraps and held it for her.
"Yes but Oliver, how? I mean..."
"Face me when you come over, then I'll wrap you, and I'll cover you with my chest."
"No Way! Are you kidding?"
"Katie, honestly, we play quidditch together, same difference."
" How do you figure?",
But Oliver didn't answer her he just waited, looking at her meaningfully. Katie walked into the
towel, and
pressed her chest against his, and sighed, embarrassed. Oh god, she's practically gotten to third
base with him , and didn't even mean to.
Oliver opened his eyes and smiled, " See! No problem. Now I'll guide you back to camp"
Katie started to walk backwards and almost fell. " Teamwork Katie, wait for me. Now look at my
face not my feet, you can walk with out looking, now we just have to do it together." It took them
almost a half an hour to get anywhere and that wasn't saying much as they'd only moved halfway
to the campsite. It was starting to get late, and cold. Katie shivered as they walked.
" Stop for a minute Katie" She stopped " Are you cold?"
"A little."
"Here hold where the ends are bunched at the back of my waist."
Katie did that and now that Oliver's arms were free, he placed them around Katie, the warm
inner skin of his arms melted away all the cold. He moved his hands over her cold back. Katie
ran her unused hand up his back anticipating the cold , but only finding warmth.
She placed her head on his chest, he wasn't gangly tall, but rather a temple of warmth and
muscle, her head fit perfectly to the right of his face. They just stood like that for a bit enjoying
each others warmth. Oliver looked to her and Katie looked at him. Katie thought he was going
to kiss her, thought her lips would taste the sweet, that was Oliver again. But he just looked
away, and said they'd better get to camp. They made it within forty feet of the camp.
"Ok ,now Katie, you take the whole towel and go change. Then come back and give me the
towel."
" Are you going to hide in the nude then?"
"Not hide, just stand conveniently on this side of the tree. Ok, get going! I don't fancy having a
stare down with the moon."
She did go and change, and went back to find Oliver. Katie decided to sneak up on him, so she
went the opposite way she had gone. She found him behind the same tree, naked as the day God
made him, only the moonlight made any visibility possible, she watched him peer anxiously
around at where she would have met him. Laughing she crept up behind him, and covered his
backside with the towel, he turned around into the towel, and it wrapped around him perfectly.
He looked like he wanted to scream for fright, and faint at the same time. His mouth was hung
open just looking at her. He finally closed it, Katie couldn't say anything, for laughing.
"Be quiet! Go back to the Campfire, so they don't think we came back together."
Katie left and found the others.
"Hey Katie! Hungry?" Fred asked.
"Starving" she replied.
They were all looking at her. " I swam longer than I meant to, then I got lost."
"Oh..." George said , eying her suspiciously.
Katie watched Oliver dive into his tent. She looked away and asked what they were going to do
tonight. Lee said immediately , Truth or Dare. Oh right, Lee.. Katie had forgotten about him.
"Shouldn't we wait for Oliver?" Angelina asked.
"Yea probably should" George replied.
"That's nice of you all" Oliver had joined the circle, now clad in much more than a towel, flannel
bottoms, a white T-shirt, and a Flannel top.
"Nice jim jams Oliver" Fred commented.
Oliver looked across the fire, appearing not to have heard Fred."Hey Lee, are you interested in
being a beater? We may have an opening"
They got on with the game, and again, everyone kissed everyone, when they dared Oliver to kiss
Katie though, Oliver took a chicken. Katie's face fell, and she wanted to cry. Oliver avoided her
eyes the rest of the night. Why wouldn't he kiss her?
The game ended and everyone left for there tents, Katie just sat and looked at the fire. A few
minutes passed and she got up to go to bed, putting out the fire. She passed the third tree, with
only the moonlight to guide her. Something grabbed her and pulled her into the depth of the
trees. It was Oliver and he looked at her and kissed her full on , all of her memories of his kisses
didn't do the kiss any justice. She wanted to cry, stupid hormones.
" I wanted to kiss you because I wanted to, not because of a dare." Oliver kissed her again, then
walked to his tent.
Katie crawled into her sleeping bag, and not for the first time fell asleep with a sigh. "Oliver"
got stuck, I will fix it though and add it in, expect it by Wednesday the 18th of June.
It was a long weekend in October, so all the 5th years and above got to leave the Hogwarts
grounds, Hogsmeade and such. Alicia had arranged for the Quidditch team, exempting Harry(he
was only a third year), to go camping. Apparently Fred and George had found a great place on the
opposite side of where the Forbidden Forest is. It had a lake and everything, sounded like a great

Katie, just Katie, that would be ok right?, yea it would definitely be good, no guys to worry

Katie rummaged through her bag for the weekend, "Twelve outfits, should be good...hmm, nah
better make it thirteen. A book... yuck! What was I thinking? Gilderoy Lockhart? Must have
picked up the wrong one, that's better, "Quidditch Through the Ages, hair removing potion, ooh I
bet Angelina would love that. Ha , let her be hairy, and she is so very hairy. Katie started to
laugh. Angelina and Katie had just repaired there friendship but, Katie was still a little sore, not
about George, but that Angelina didn't tell her. "Katie hurry up! It's 5 o'clock, c'mon!" Alicia had
shouted up the girls staircase. "Alright keep you pants on, I'm almost done" Katie muttered.
Katie zipped up the bag and headed down the stairs, everyone was there "Oh man" Katie
groaned, Lee was going to come too. "He's starting to pass into stalker phase" Katie thought.
She started to remember how she had asked to go to the hospital wing to grab her papers from
Madame Pomfrey, and Lee had started coughing in class and saying he needed to go too. "Oh
well, I'll make the best of it right?..."
"Hey guys, oh Lee your coming too? Swell!" She had tried to make it sound convincing, she
even put on a smile, Lee was stumped he just sat there and gawked.
"Thought you might have gotten lost or something" Fred grinned.
"Ha, ha , ha." Katie jokingly scoffed.
"Are we waiting for him?" Alicia asked Fred.
"Nope he's meeting us up there."Fred answered.
"Lets get this show on the road!" Fred yelled.

"He could be an ok kisser...and if that's so, then maybe this weekend won't be too bad! "Katie
mused.
"Well pucker up Lee!" Katie moved closer to Lee, she didn't think she'd have to , because Lee
was glued to her thigh in the beginning, but he was fidgeting so much, now she had to move
closer.
"There's plenty of trees mate" Fred whispered audibly.
Lee blushed, not easy to see on his dark skin, but such was the embarrassment. Then he balled
his fists and dived for Katie's mouth.
It was too fast for Katie to get even a hint of what type of a kisser he was. So it was the mission

each others warmth. Oliver looked to her and Katie looked at him. Katie thought he was going
to kiss her, thought her lips would taste the sweet, that was Oliver again. But he just looked
away, and said they'd better get to camp. They made it within forty feet of the camp.
"Ok ,now Katie, you take the whole towel and go change. Then come back and give me the
towel."
" Are you going to hide in the nude then?"
"Not hide, just stand conveniently on this side of the tree. Ok, get going! I don't fancy having a
stare down with the moon."
She did go and change, and went back to find Oliver. Katie decided to sneak up on him, so she
went the opposite way she had gone. She found him behind the same tree, naked as the day God
made him, only the moonlight made any visibility possible, she watched him peer anxiously
around at where she would have met him. Laughing she crept up behind him, and covered his
backside with the towel, he turned around into the towel, and it wrapped around him perfectly.
He looked like he wanted to scream for fright, and faint at the same time. His mouth was hung
open just looking at her. He finally closed it, Katie couldn't say anything, for laughing.
"Be quiet! Go back to the Campfire, so they don't think we came back together."
Katie left and found the others.
"Hey Katie! Hungry?" Fred asked.
"Starving" she replied.
They were all looking at her. " I swam longer than I meant to, then I got lost."
"Oh..." George said , eying her suspiciously.
Katie watched Oliver dive into his tent. She looked away and asked what they were going to do
tonight. Lee said immediately , Truth or Dare. Oh right, Lee.. Katie had forgotten about him.
"Shouldn't we wait for Oliver?" Angelina asked.
"Yea probably should" George replied.
"That's nice of you all" Oliver had joined the circle, now clad in much more than a towel, flannel
bottoms, a white T-shirt, and a Flannel top.
"Nice jim jams Oliver" Fred commented.
Oliver looked across the fire, appearing not to have heard Fred."Hey Lee, are you interested in
being a beater? We may have an opening"
They got on with the game, and again, everyone kissed everyone, when they dared Oliver to kiss
Katie though, Oliver took a chicken. Katie's face fell, and she wanted to cry. Oliver avoided her
eyes the rest of the night. Why wouldn't he kiss her?
The game ended and everyone left for there tents, Katie just sat and looked at the fire. A few
minutes passed and she got up to go to bed, putting out the fire. She passed the third tree, with
only the moonlight to guide her. Something grabbed her and pulled her into the depth of the
trees. It was Oliver and he looked at her and kissed her full on , all of her memories of his kisses
didn't do the kiss any justice. She wanted to cry, stupid hormones.
" I wanted to kiss you because I wanted to, not because of a dare." Oliver kissed her again, then
walked to his tent.
Katie crawled into her sleeping bag, and not for the first time fell asleep with a sigh. "Oliver"
