Here Without You

Chapter 3

It was official, She was permantely stuck in Oliver land. Katie had spent the last 20 minutes thinking of nothing but you guessed it, Oliver. She just missed him so much. She was bored and lonely. She wanted her boyfriend to come home, but he was pursuing his life long dream, being a professional quidditch player. He was happy and she was glad he was happy, but she just wanted to be selfish and get down on her knees and beg him to come home. She was starting to go deeper into Oliver land when she heard the distant sound of her alarm clock... Oh god she was late for her first class of the day, and she wasn't ready to leave.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my GOD!"

Katie jumped out of bed and ran to her closet and grabbed her robes and through them on. One minute later she was running down the hall, hair half brushed, shoes half on, and robes half on. She had just finished getting dressed as she came upon the door of her classroom.

"I'm so sorry class my alarm did not go off and when it went off at the right time I was already late for class."

The class nodded as an o.k. and she went to write the daily assignment on the board when she heard a feint tapping on the window. She immediately recognized the owl as Oliver's owl, Merlin.

Katie ran to the window and threw open the window. She could hear the feint giggles of her class as she went and opened the window. She let to owl come in and rest on her owls, Gidget, post.

When she finished writing the assignment on the board she sat down and removed the letter from the owl's leg. She didn't open the letter in class; instead she sat at her desk and started grading papers.

When the bell rang signaling the end of class and time for her lunch hour she went to her room with Oliver's letter. On her way to her room she ran into a very cozy looking Harry and Ginny.

"You guys know that there is no snogging in the corridors," Katie said trying to suppress a laugh when she saw them jump apart almost immediately.

"Oh Katie it is only you I thought you were McGonogall and she was going to give us a detention for tonight and I was going to be stuck with Filtch all night polishing trophies," Harry said with a sigh of relief. Ginny still looked horror struck as if she had just had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. The horror left her face when she realized it was just Katie.

"What are you talking about I am your professor and I can give you a detention just as much as she can" Katie countered with mock anger.

"Don't be a hypocrite Katie you and Oliver got detention plenty of times because you were snogging in the corridors" Ginny said with a giggle. "Speaking of, when was the last time you heard form him?"

"Actually, I was just on my way to my room to read my letter from him when I ran into you two" Katie said with a smile

"Well don't let us keep you. Go read you letter from Oliver and we will pick up where we left off before we were so rudely interrupted." Harry yelled with mock anger as Katie walked away.

When Katie made it to her room she lay down of her bed and started reading her letter from Oliver.

Katie Girl,

I miss you so much. I am so lonely right now and I wish you were here. As of right now as I am writing this letter I am in Dublin, Ireland. So close to home and all I can think about is you. The coach had to hit me a few times at practice so I could keep my head in the game. It's hard to believe Oliver Wood not thinking about Quidditch as he is playing it. I am glad to hear Harry finally asked Ginny out. How are they doing? I am sorry this is such a short letter I don't have a lot of time to write it. I have to go now. I love you so much.

Ollie

P.S. You cant tell me enough of how much you love me. I can't stop hearing it. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

When Katie finished reading the letter she knew how much she loved him. She had tears in her eyes when she finished.

I'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time.
I'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in my dreams.
And tonight, it's only you and me.

Sorry it took so long to update I have been so busy with my band stuff and school. Algebra is about to kill me, but I will try so hard to update more often.
