Friends and Never More
Disclaimer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Maybe I'm overreacting, it's just a disclaimer. Ok, I own the plot and other peeps you've never heard of before.
"What the hell do YOU want!?!" Katie asked. She sat perched on the end of her wooden bed, reading a muggle book. Her long, golden curls swayed past her shoulders. She wore a pair of blue Nike shorts and a black singlet top.
"I want MY quidditch book. YOU borrowed it last year and haven't even returned it yet! And I WANT IT BACK!" Oliver replied, his face fuming red.
"You said I could keep it!"
"Well, that was when we were friends! Now, because you can't handle a few words, I want it back!" Oliver yelled.
Katie chucked a bulky blue book across the room that just missed Oliver's head. It hit a large mirror, with black stones moulded together to form a black background. Strange words in another language had been engraved on it and a diamond liquid filled them.
"You almost broke it, idiot!" Katie yelled. Strangely, the mirror wasn't harmed in any way.
"Where did you get that? I hadn't seen that mirror before." Oliver asked, he completely forgot that he wasn't talking to Katie.
"Not that it's any of YOUR business but I got it from a nice shop in Knockturn (sp?) Alley called 'Miss Enchant' just before term started." Katie said harshly.
"Knockturn Alley? Why were you in Knockturn Alley? It's not safe down there! Someone could have hurt you!"
"Why would you care?" Katie snapped, "Knockturn Alley can be safe, as long as you know where to go! Now will you leave my room, I don't want to see you anymore."
"FINE!" Oliver slammed the door behind himself leaving Katie still sitting down and reading her book.
Oliver huffed through the corridor. The fight between the two had been going on for two days. Gryffindor VS Hufflepuff was going to be held the next day.
The weather represented what Oliver was feeling; clouds flooded the sky with thunder rumbling like earthquakes and in the dead of night, lightning blinded through the windows of Hogwarts.
Although Oliver didn't feel anger towards Katie, it was towards himself. He couldn't believe what he had said to her. 'Smart Oliver, make the love of your life hate you,' he thought to himself, growling.
Oliver walked into his bedroom. He noticed that it was empty and silently yelled in triumph. He obviously didn't want to be around anyone else at that moment. If so, he would probably snap their heads off because of his foul mood.
Oliver sat with his head in his hands on is bed, slowly shaking at the irritating sound of the clock, where it was positioned next to him on the side desk.
The clicking and clocking was slowly driving him insane, his frustration rising with every annoying tick that came out of the muggle contraption (which was magically altered).
Oliver couldn't take the sounds anymore. He picked up the annoying contraption and threw it at the opposite wall, causing the clock to smash into a million pieces.
"Whoa Oliver, you are a murderer!" came the annoying (in Oliver's opinion) duo of the Weasley twins.
Oliver rolled his eyes, "It's a clock. Why on earth are you both here? This isn't your dorm room."
"Ah, we just paid a visit to Katie." Fred started off, sitting on the left of Oliver.
"And she told us-"started George who sat on the right side of Oliver.
"-Well she wasn't exactly too friendly about it-"
"After getting told to bug off and that she hates us-"
"-And that we were a nuisance-"
"WILL YOU JUST GET TO THE POINT!" Oliver yelled in frustration, the twins were starting to really annoy him. More than the clock!
"Ok, ok." Fred said, patting Oliver on the back, "Calm down Wood."
George decided to finish the dragged out conversation, "All we were trying to say was that Katie is in a right- old state as well."
"Wouldn't let us stay long, took her about a minute till she kicked us out." Fred said.
George nodded, "Literally."
"Well," Oliver said impatiently, "you will better get out of this room before I decide to kick you."
Fred and George stood up in unison.
"Going."
"Gone."
They both rushed quickly out of the door, to Oliver's irritation, laughing and joking.
Oliver felt the guilt of his words consume him once more, the way he came about things was just rude. He thought back to when he first met Katie, that day was still crystal clear in his mind...
FLASHBACK
The new Gryffindors had arrived, all first years, all looking very out-of- place and scared in the swarm of students. Most were older and more relaxed than themselves.
Oliver remembered the feeling to be new, fresh to a school more abnormal than your average school. He remembered how frightened he was when a ghost popped its head through the table, when his dish had disappeared to be replaced by more food.
"Hi. I'm Oliver." He said to one of the first years at the welcoming feast, the first year was a young girl with long golden hair.
She smiled shyly back at him, "My name's Katie." Katie whispered softly, looking down at her plate, empty. She wasn't at all hungry and did not bother to put anything on it because she felt that if she did, it would just come back up anyways.
"You nervous?" Oliver asked, "I remember my first day. I was so scared; I ended up spending an hour in the bathroom. When I got out, everyone was already gone to the common rooms."
Katie smiled slightly and looked up, "Did you really?"
"Yeh I did, quite embarrassing actually." He laughed slightly at the memory. He had been so embarrassed, finding everyone was a nightmare. He ended up having to get Dumbledore help. "Do you by any chance follow Quidditch?"
Katie looked at Oliver, puzzled, she obviously hadn't heard of a sport called Quidditch before, "What's Quidditch? Sorry, I'm muggle born, I'm not really familiar with wizardry terms."
Oliver laughed; he then explained to Katie the rules of Quidditch, what it was, and the thrill and excitement of playing it or watching it.
"We have quidditch here at the school, between all four houses; unfortunately Gryffindor hasn't won the Quidditch cup for a while." Oliver commented.
"Wow, it must be very popular!" Katie smiled.
Oliver couldn't help but smile back, he really liked this girl. She was very kind and he really believed that they would be friends.
END OF FLASHBACK
The memory was so clear; it was the first time he and Katie had ever spoken. And it was about Quidditch.
Oliver laughed bitterly; he just hoped that Katie would soon forgive him for saying what he said. He couldn't stand being her enemy.
