Friends And Never More
Disclaimer: Read other chapters for disclaimer.
Chapter 7;
"Katherine Rose Bell!" Screeched Angelina, sitting on the edge of Katie's bed, "do not tell me you're STILL infuriated with the flaming hot Mr. Wood!"
Katie glared coldly at her very straight-forth friend after being snapped out of her deeply intoxicating romance novel. It was one of her favourite novels; one of those when the guy is actually 'nice' unlike any other male that walks the planet.
"Maybe," came Katie's half-asked reply, "maybe not. Who knows?" She looked up from her novel, slamming it shut loudly. "Are you a mind reader?"
Angelina widened her brown eyes, "Alicia! Can you interrogate Katie?"
Alicia walked out from the bathroom with a toothbrush hanging out of her mouth, around her lips white foam had been formed, "what?"
"She's got Pre-Quidditch insanity," Angelica muttered, biting her lip, "she's talking rubbish whilst reading her fanciful novels."
Alicia rolled her eyes at the pairing, "o don't be such a drama chaser Ange! Katie's just pissed that her love Oliver is not her friend," her lipped pouted, puckering them in the air for a few times.
Katie growled, "Aren't you suppose to be my friends? You heard what he said before, don't you think I had right to be upset?"
Grinning from ear to ear, Alicia raised a thumb, "we did, didn't we? But then, if mocking you or the hot Wood made you snap out of your PQI-ing it worked well."
"Haha, now let's get ready to kick some hot Cedric ass!" Angelina yelled, jumping on Katie's bed and tearing the romance novel out of Katie's hands.
The three of them walked together out of the Gryffindor common room; giggling and chatting like three good best friends would do. Katie loved her friends for this reason; their sincerity and friendship kept her going on all the time and as much as she'd hate to admit it- she missed Oliver so much. He was like a drug to her; whenever he wasn't there life seemed dull and cravings kicked in. Then when she was with him it was like... she was complete. Katie shook her head at her revolving and completely unnecessary thoughts. Oliver was an ass... or was she just a drama Queen?
"Alright team," Oliver said, gulping down. The weather was quite horrendous and it was time for his pre-game talk. This was his last year for Quidditch, the last chance to claim the cup. Victory could so easily be there's; he wanted it so desperately.
All the way through his speech had Katie not once looked at him. Only Harry didn't truly notice the tension between the captain and chaser. He fingered the hilt of his broom whilst talking reminiscing how many victories and quaffles he had stopped with it.
"LET'S DO THIS!" Eventually Wood shouted, his fist rose in the air, the team cheered nervously with him, grinning a tad. They started to mount their brooms to get out, before Katie had time to do this, he grabbed her shoulder.
"Let go of me, Wood!" She growled, trying to wiggle out of his strong grip.
Turning her to face him, the captain rested both his hands on her shoulder, feeling the dark red fabric beneath his hands, "I'm sorry Katie. Truly, I didn't mean to say the things I said. You know me, I'm an idiot." He smiled slightly at her, "I could not bare you hating me."
Not smiling in return, Katie glowered coolly and roughly writhing his arms off her shoulders, "you know what Oliver, you hurt me and I don't think an apology is accepted right now." She laughed bitterly, "you only want us all to perform well, and to think you may actually of meant it!"
"Katie I do!" Oliver sighed with a pleading look, "Katie I am truly sorry."
"No you're not," she replied, "see you on the field."
With that, Oliver was left utterly alone, feeling miserable for himself. 'I love you so much, Katie' he thought to himself, 'if only you truly knew this.'
"KATIE!" Screamed Alicia, water pouring down like thunderous pins.
Katie caught the quaffle in her arms, driving her broom forward in agonising pain. Her skin seemed to slowly be peeling away; the rain was so icy on her skin that her body was numbing. The sounds of Alicia's voice was so faint in the thunder roaming, she could not even see anything.
Katie passed swiftly over to Angel, the ball getting lost in the wind and flying over towards the Hufflepuff stands. Katie growled, flying towards the hovering ball. She thanked the charm placed on the quaffle that let it stay in the air without falling to the ground.
Through the distance a familiar figure seemed to be falling out of the air. She gasped, it was Harry! He had fallen off his broom! How could anyone ever survive a fall like that? For a moment she had forgotten about the game and about the safety of Harry.
Unfortunately cheering seemed to rumble through the place when Harry's body seemed limp, falling to the hard sandy bottom. Katie widened her eyes, seeing figures of black flying above her. Her body iced up, Harry fell off the broom, was it because of these creatures? A slight shiver exited her body and only then did she notice the snitch hanging in the palm of Cedric...
... They lost the game. And the Demeter's had came! It was such a sad time for the team, Oliver's last year...
Instantly she turned her head over to where Oliver would usually be, the goal ring but as her eyes squinted and narrowed she realised that no figure could be seen through the endless fog. Was he already drowning in misery, already off the court? Or could she just not see him through the mist?
Whatever it was, no good would come of floating in the rain for a secound longer. Katie let her broom zoom down to the sanctuary; the opening gates. Her team-mates followed, all miserable and wet, a horrid sight for eyes.
Without a word they all went their separate ways; the girls to the girls change rooms and the boys to the others. All wanting desperately to see if Harry was safe. He had a long fall. Katie bit her lip, in her attempt to get to safety and find Oliver she had completely forgotten about his fall! She felt absolutely terrible; quickly showering to meet him.
"Angelina?" Katie yelled, after finishing a quick shower, "are we going to see Harry now?"
Angelina nodded, drying her hair off by muttered a quick spell with her wand.
"Come on," Alicia started, "let's see how the poor buggers doing."
"Where's Oliver?" Asked Harry. Katie thanked Merlin that the legend of a seeker was all right. He of course was shaken up and all but he seemed to live.
"He's still in the showers. We think he's trying to drown himself." Both twins said, smiling sympathetically at Harry's groaning.
Katie bit her lip, looking at Fred, "hey Fred, did you actually see him getting in the shower?" She asked quietly, everyone else was too concerned with Harry to notice, though.
Fred shrugged, "Nup." He said simply, "he would've gotten in there quickly though, before anyone could've seen him."
Katie gasped, she turned around swiftly, "uh, I gotta go!" She muttered, running out of the Hospital Wing. Oliver wasn't at the end of the game... he would probably still be in the showers... she hoped.
She ran into the boy's showers, not caring if her gender was not allowed in the sacred place. "OLIVER!" Katie yelled loudly but got no response.
She checked the changing area. Nothing. She checked the shower blocks. Nothing. The toilets. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
Very close to pulling out her hair in frustration, Katie left the changing rooms and out into the rain once more. She did a lap around the Quidditch field, no Oliver.
Almost close to giving up hope, a small glint of red and gold caught her attention. She jumped over the Slytherin stands and ran a few metres, coating in clear liquid that almost fogged her vision.
"Oliver..." Katie mumbled, seeing his body lying on the grassy field. He seemed stiff, bending down to his body Katie noticed this.
"Oliver, are you ok?" She said loudly, his body was cold, dreadfully cold. His body was moist with the water and his eyes, his puppy brown eyes, were open, gaping at her.
"Oh God Oliver..." Katie mumbled.
