(Awww! ::blushes:: You guys are so nice! Thanks so much for reviewing!)
Knock-knock!
Alicia Spinnet crossed through the kitchen and small living room and pulled opened the door. She was greeted by the sight of Oliver, who stood, a bouquet of flowers in his hand. "Oliver!" she exclaimed, hugging him. "Come on in!"
"Thanks," Oliver said, stepping through the doorframe.
"Katie's running a little late," Alicia said. "She always does that."
"No problem," Oliver said with a shrug. "So how have you been?"
"Good," Alicia said. "Really good."
A door opened and Katie emerged, wrapped in a towel, her hair dripping wet. "Licia, where's my bra?" she whined. She stopped as she saw Oliver sitting on the couch. "Oh! Hey, Wood," she said. "I didn't know you were here yet. Sorry, I'm running a bit late."
"No problem," Oliver said once again. "No hurry."
"Which bra, Katie?" Alicia asked.
"My favorite one," Katie said.
"The lacy black one?"
"Yes!"
"No, I haven't seen it," Alicia said. Katie groaned and muttered a few obscenities. "What's the big deal?" Alicia asked. "Just wear another one!"
"But it's my favorite one!"
"So?" Alicia said. "It's not like anyone's going to be seeing it, are they?"
Oliver couldn't help but smile to himself as Katie shot Alicia a glare, Alicia giving Katie an innocent, yet sheepish smile. Katie sighed and turned, disappearing back into the bathroom.
10 minutes later, she emerged again, her hair dry, in a black skirt and red top. "Just one more sec!" she said to Oliver, disappearing down the hallway. A few seconds later, Oliver heard her groan. "Licia!" she whined again. "Where's my other shoe?"
"Which one?"
"The black one!"
"I don't know," Alicia said. Oliver looked down at the floor and smiled.
"Is this it?" he asked, holding up a strappy black heel.
"Yes!" Katie breathed, rushing over and taking it from him. "Ok!" she said, once she had it on. "I'm ready."
Oliver stood up and walked with her to the door. "Nice seeing you Alicia," he said.
"You too, Wood," Alicia said. "Oh, and make sure Katie doesn't drink too much. Alcohol doesn't always agree with her." Katie rolled her eyes and Oliver laughed.
"I'll keep that in mind," he said. They said goodbye and he and Katie left.
"So, where are we going?" Katie asked.
"Wherever we want," Oliver answered, handing her the flowers. "Have any place in particular?" Katie shook her head. "How about that place two streets over?"
"Sounds good to me," Katie said, and they started off down the sidewalk.
A week later
"Go! GO!" Katie yelled. She watched as a chaser dived and threw the quaffle through the hoop. The keeper then threw the quaffle to a chaser on his own team and the chaser took off, passing to another, who took aim. Katie cheered as Oliver blocked the shot and threw it back to someone on his own team.
"Katie!"
Katie turned around and saw a very familiar face in the seat behind her. "Roger," she said, her lips pursed.
"How've you been?" he asked.
"Fine," Katie answered. "Just fine, and you?"
"Good."
Katie turned back around, attempting to focus on the match. "Since when do you come to Puddlemere matches?" Roger's voice said in her ear.
"Since I started hanging out with Oliver Wood," Katie answered, watching as a Puddlemere chaser scored.
"Oliver Wood, eh?" Roger asked. "That's an interesting one." Katie didn't respond, but fought hard to keep her mind on the quidditch match. "So you still living with Alicia?"
Katie sighed to herself and turned around. "Yes," she said. "I am."
Suddenly, the Puddlemere Seeker pulled down into a dive, weaving between the other players as Oliver blocked another shot. The Seeker turned her broom up, the golden snitch in her hand, and the stadium erupted into cheers.
"Hey!" Katie said as Oliver emerged from the locker room. "Great game!" Oliver smiled and hugged her. "God, I thought that last bludger had knocked your teeth out!"
"Not quite," Oliver said.
"See you later Katie!"
Katie sighed and turned around, briefly waving to Roger, who then walked away. "Hey, wasn't that Roger Davies?" Oliver asked.
"Mmm hmm," Katie mumbled bitterly.
"What, don't you like him?" Oliver asked. "I mean, I always thought he was a bit slow, but you act like you hate him."
"That's because I do," Katie replied. "Remember how I told you that I was engaged before?" Oliver nodded. "Well, it was him."
"You and him?" Oliver asked, flabbergasted. Katie nodded. "Well, what happened?"
"He cheated on me," Katie said. Oliver's eyes were huge and Katie looked down at her feet.
"And he still has the nerve to talk to you like that?" Oliver asked. Katie nodded again. "What an asshole!"
Katie smiled weakly at him. "Really, it's no big deal," she said. "I don't even care anymore."
"Well, you should!"
"Well, I don't," Katie said.
"Oi! Wood!" They turned around and saw the rest of the Puddlemere team heading towards them.
"Hey, this is Katie," Oliver introduced. A tall blonde man stepped forward and grabbed Katie's hand, shaking it exuberantly.
"Nice to meet you," he said. "I'm Mike." He whistled and turned to Oliver. "Where'd you find her, Wood?"
"Katie and I went to Hogwarts together," Oliver replied.
Mike whistled again. "Well, if you don't want her, can I have her?"
"Oh, lay off!" The group turned around and a woman Katie recognized pushed her way into the group. "Mike, get over yourself," she snapped. She looked at Katie and held out her hand. "Brooke," she said. "Brooke Holden." Katie shook her hand and smiled at her. "So," Brooke said. "Are the two of you coming to celebrate with us?"
Katie looked at Oliver who shrugged. "If you want," he said.
"Sure," Katie said. "Why not?"
Mike whistled again and draped an arm around Katie, who laughed. "If you'd rather come to my place, you're more than welcome to," he said.
"I'll keep that in mind," Katie laughed.
Later that night
"So?" Alicia asked as Katie closed the front door and collapsed on the couch.
"So, what?" Katie asked.
"How was it?"
"Fine," Katie said, shrugging.
"Did you kiss him?"
"What? No, of course not!"
"Why not?" Alicia whined.
"Because, it's not like that," Katie said. "We're just friends."
"Bullshit," Alicia coughed, causing Katie to roll her eyes.
"This is only the like, fourth time we've gone out," she said. "But guess who I ran into?"
"Who?"
"Roger."
"No!"
"Yep."
"And?"
"And he tried to be all cool and friendly and stuff."
"Seriously? What a loser!" Alicia exclaimed.
"Tell me about it."
"But what about Oliver?"
"What about him?"
"What'd you guys do?"
"We had sex in the bathroom," Katie said. Alicia's eyes were as large as saucers and Katie laughed. "I'm only joking!" she exclaimed. "We went to the Leaky Cauldron with the rest of the team to celebrate. They won."
"And what's the team like?"
"They're all really nice. Except for Brooke, one of the chasers. She's a bitch," Katie said. "And this one guy, Mike, kept coming on to me."
"Is he cute?"
"Yeah."
"Ooh, Katie! Naughty girl!"
Katie rolled her eyes. "Whatever," she muttered.
"So, you had fun with Oliver?"
"Of course I did."
"Does he like you?"
"I don't know!"
"Does he want to kiss you?"
"No!"
"Does he want to hold you?"
"No!"
"Does he want to make hot, passionate love to you all-"
"Alicia!"
"What?"
