Here Without You

Chapter 4

The miles just keep rolling

As the people leave their way to say hello

I heard this life overrated

But I hope that it gets better as we go

Oliver Wood had made up his mind. He had to choose, and he chose Katie. His game sucked because half of the time his mind was on Katie and when I wasn't he was thinking about how bad of a choice it was to leave Katie behind.

When he was younger he always wanted to be a quidditch player. I was his life long dream, until he met Katie. She had changed his life so much that he decided he was going to quit the team to go be with her. With her in England and him traveling all around the world he never got a chance to see her, and he barely ever got a chance to write. When he did though, he didn't miss the chance to tell her how much he loved her.

When he got to England he was going to tell her how much he loved her and hold on to her and never let go. He was also going to do something he never thought he would do ever in his life.

He was going to ask Katie to marry him.

And pray that she said yes, to save him the pain of rejection, and the pain of jumping off the Hogwarts roof if she said no.

You may be thinking the obsessed Oliver Wood would only give up quidditch when hell freezes over. Well it hasn't, he just fell in love with the most wonderful woman in the entire world and he wouldn't give he up for any thing. Even quidditch.

Oliver was going to go to England and he was going to become an auror.

He always knew that if he couldn't play professional quidditch he would become an auror. He would help with the war and to defeat Voldemort.

Oliver was thinking all of these thoughts as he was packing his clothes in his suitcase getting ready to leave to go back to England. He was disturbed out of his thoughts when his whole team came bursting through the door.

"Oliver you cant leave the team how are we going to cope with out you. You are one of the best players we have." Came the exasperated voice of Julia McFarland.

"Yeah Oliver why are you leaving you just cant up and go leaving us like this to go back to England. Why are you leaving?" Asked Justin Fitzgerald.

"Guys I cant keep doing this to myself and Katie when I'm not thinking about her I'm asking myself if this was a good idea to leave her like this. So I am going back to England to ask her to marry me." Oliver said to his team who all gaped open mouthed at him when he said he was going to ask her to marry him.

"Aw Oliver that is so sweet I just cant believe you are going to quit the team, the Oliver Wood I know would never give up quidditch."

"Well I am giving it up for the woman I love more than anything, the woman I wouldn't give up for the world."

When Oliver finished packing, and said good-bye to all of his teammates, and promising to write to tell them Katie's answer, He picked up the port key and was transported into Hogsmeade.

Oliver was out in the street of Hogsmeade when he looked up at the giant school that lay before him. He pulled the ring out of his pocket and stared at the box. When he was sure he was ready he starting walking to the school and to the love of his life, and hopefully his future wife.

Sorry it took so long to update, school is still killing me and I have All-Region band try outs in December so I will be working on that for most of my Thanksgiving holiday, and I also had major writers block until I heard the song, Here Without You, on the radio. I will try and write more. I hope you all like the update. Please review.
