Katie headed down the stairs wishing that could of said something back to let Oliver know she felt the same way but of course those two gits had to muck things up. Then again, may be it was better that way. Really she needed to get over him. He was going to be gone in a few months then after that who knows when she'd see him again.

"Yes" she told herself out loud as she sat down to eat, "that's what I'll do,"

"What's that?" Katie didn't realize that she said it out loud and was startled by Angelina's comment. Katie turned red.

"Well? What are you going to do?" Angelina asked again.

"Um get over Wood," Katie muttered. Angelina raised an eyebrow and shook her head,

"Not gonna happen,"

"Damn you're right," Angelina just grinned while Katie buried her face in her hands, "and I hate it when you're right. After what he just told me it would be impossible to do so!" Angelina just gave her a look. Katie just sighed.

"He just told me that he has liked me from his second year." Angelina almost choked on her chicken.

"That's six years if you count last year! I knew he liked you between our third and fifth but I had no clue he liked you that much!" Katie just gave her friend a stern look and then bit off a piece of bread, "does he still like you?"

"That I don't know and the frustrating thing is if I should tell him I liked him as well. I was about to but tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum showed up," Angelina laughed. Her boyfriend always had bad timing.

"Well we'll have to discuss this later. As for right now we got to get back to the common room!"

"What for?"

"Professor McGonagall is going to post the new team captain," Angelina said getting up.

"Really?" Katie asked not feeling like eating anymore, "I wonder who it's going to be?"

"My bet is on Harry,"

"Harry? When there's four seventh years?" Katie questioned Angelina as they headed to Gryffindor tower.

"Especially when there's four seventh years!" Angelina argued. She explained to Katie that Harry was in his fifth year, played for four years and had an impeccable talent that made him suitable for captain position. She also said that McGonagall would choose him over them cause he still had three more years left while this was there last year. It would be smart to choose a person who would be around for a while longer. Katie understood her reasoning and was starting to feel that Angelina had a point. They walked in through the portrait hole to see everyone chilling out. Ron was playing chess with Harry and was, of course, winning. Hermione was reading a book while helping Neville with his homework. Lee was having a heated discussion with Dean and Seamus about who knows what. Oliver was still there. He was over in the corner with the twins laughing his head off. The two girls walked up to the boys,

"What's so funny?" Angelina said sitting down in Fred's lap. Katie hesitated but then decided it would probably rile him up a bit if he still liked her. First she sighed then asked,

"Where to sit?" seeing a look of hope in Oliver's face she smiled again and plopped down on Georges lap. He was startled at first but to ease his mind quickly asked,

"Please say you're doing this to interrogate Wood?" Katie just nodded her head yes and George got a huge grin on his face but hid it behind Katie's head so Oliver wouldn't see. He didn't know what to think. At first he was wondering if Katie liked George and him saying all that stuff to her was a waist of time but then he remembered that this was Katie. She tended to pull people along so he decided to play it cool and see where she was taking this. Katie smiled inwardly at the panic that had crossed Woods face momentarily. May be he does still like me? Don't jump to conclusions though; the only way you'll truly know is if he tells you himself. So then I should lie on the sex drive and flirt like I never flirt before? Definitely but don't do it around the school. Keep it up here. True! Don't want things floating around school. Katie let out a huge sigh,

"No, this isn't going to work. George your knees are too knobby!" Angelina suppressed a giggle when she figured out what Katie was doing. She knew Katie would stand up, sigh once more, than flop down in Oliver's lap. Then Katie would make a sly comment on how more comfy Woods lap was compared to George's lap. As predicted Katie stood up but rubbed her ass like it was sore. Angelina had to laugh at that. It was a nice touch to Katie's antics that she played. Katie looked around then again sighed. Just the look on her face made Angelina laugh even harder. The three boys just looked at each other confused,

"Do you have the feeling we're missing something?" George asked. Oliver and Fred both nodded their heads yes. Katie was just about to flop down in Oliver's lap but Professor McGonagall walked in at that time.

"Gryffindor team. Please come here. I have the full roster posted for the year and your new captain has been picked as well," she paused as the team headed over and noticed Wood sitting in the corner of the room, "Ah Oliver! Why don't you come up and announce the good news seeing that you're the old captain?"  Oliver smiled as he got up and headed over to where not just the team but also a lot of the house awaited the news of whom the new captain would be. He took the piece of paper and started to read.

" Beaters are Fred and George Weasley," to be funny the twins got on a table and started to bow. The house laughed and clapped loudly while McGonagall tried to get order back into the room.

"Ok, ok that's enough! Wood please continue,"

" Err, yes Professor. Keeper is Dean Thomas while Chasers are Ronald Weasley, Angelina Johnson and Katie Bell," Oliver voice cracked a little as he said her name and hoped she didn't notice. After people got done clapping he cleared his voice and looked over the last line. He smiled and grinned at Harry who was waiting to hear his name. Softly Oliver spoke,

"Congratulations Harry!" Harry wasn't sure what Oliver meant by that until Wood finished the roster, " And your Seeker and new captain is Harry Potter!" The whole room burst into applause as Harry just stood there shocked. Ron and Hermione ran over and hugged Harry as Fred and George shuffled his hair. It was quite nuts for the next hour. Wood tried to find Katie to ask her if she wanted to go for a walk. He felt that she was hiding something from him but every time he got close enough to her someone else was pulling her away. Near the end of the hour Harry came up to Wood.

" Hello Harry. Congrats on making Captain again."

"Thanks Oliver. I wanted to actually talk to you about that." Harry said.

"What about?"

"I have no clue how to run a team"

"It's not that hard Harry. Professor McGonagall wouldn't have picked you if she didn't think you could handle it,"

"I know it's just, I'm nervous and have no tactics like you did. Could you help me get started?"

"Sure. How about we practice for a bit tomorrow afternoon? I can help you work out your own strategies and tactics."

"Oh thank you Oliver! I'll see you tomorrow." Harry headed off catching up with Ron who was heading up to the dormitories. The common room was clearing out and Oliver started looking for Katie and spotted her with the twins who where making her laugh. Oliver smiled to himself as he watched her laugh then had to laugh himself as Katie feel off the arm of the chair she was sitting on. She is so gorgeous! I think we covered that obvious aspect of her. I know but even when she laughs. Professor McGonagall who stayed to help Neville with an assignment knocked Wood out of his daydream.

" Wood! I think it is time to go. We have a meeting with Dumbledore tonight." Wood nodded his head wishing he were a student that way he could keep watching Katie, " Goodnight students. Wood and I have to go to a meeting. We'll see you all tomorrow." Katie's face fell as she watched Wood leave through the portrait hole.

"Oh common Katie. You're going to see him tomorrow," George said stuffing three chocolate frogs in his mouth.

"What do you mean?" Katie asked startled.

"It's obvious that you like him,"

"Totally! So why don't you just tell him. Might make things better," Fred finished just wishing that the two would get their feelings out in the open. He was about to tell her Oliver was just nuts about her but decided not to.

"I doubt that Fred. Things are more complicated than you think," Fred and George just shrugged their shoulders and walked away leaving Katie alone to her thoughts. True Oliver had told her he liked her and it would be only fair to let him know that she liked him as well but weather he still liked her was the problem and if that was the case then there was the problem that his status was as a teacher and there had to be rules against teachers and there pupils being involved with one another. Even if Wood was only temporary and when he was done filling in for Madame Hooch, having a relationship was going to be a tad complicated due to the fact he would be leaving and she might not get to see him for quite a while. Katie started to get upset by thinking all of this. Then thinking the one she prayed wasn't true really upset her. What if he didn't like her anymore, which was a possibility that she didn't even want to consider? She would take one day at a time and weather or not she would tell him how she felt would depend on his actions towards her.
