(Two chapters in 12 hours. You owe me a review.)

"I wanted to fly, so you gave me your wings. And, time held its breath so I could see, and you set me free."

"Maybe he just thinks that you want to wait," Katie told Alicia. "You know, since you're still in training."

Alicia sighed. "I guess that could be it. But, I don't want to wait. I want to get married now."

"Yeah well, I'm not even close to getting married," Katie said. "I think I'll just be single for life."

"What about Oliver?"

"I've told you!" Katie said. "We're just good friends."

"Oh, come on, Katie!" Alicia exclaimed. "You've gone out with him at least twice a week since the two of you met up."

"So? We just like hanging out."

"Katie, just admit it to me," Alicia whined. Katie fell silent for a moment and stared at the carpet. It was one week and several kisses later and she figured Alicia would figure it out anyway.

"All right," Katie mumbled. "Maybe we're a little more than friends." Alicia smiled.

"I knew it," she said. "So, the two of you are officially together?"

"No," Katie said. "I mean, it's not we're in love or anything."

"Don't be too sure," Alicia said. "After all, he's seen you in a towel."

"Only because YOU let him in," Katie accused.

"What was I supposed to do? Say, 'Oh, sorry Oliver, but you can't come in because Katie's in her towel and isn't ready yet?'"

"Well, it doesn't matter because we're not 'together' anyway," Katie said.

"At least kiss the poor man," Alicia said. Katie fell silent and stared back down at the floor, avoiding Alicia's eyes.

"Wait, you haven't?-"

Katie nodded. "OH MY GOD. Why didn't you tell me?" Alicia asked.

"Because you were all depressed about George not proposing," Katie said.

"So? That would have cheered me up!" Alicia said.

"But, I didn't want it to seem like I was rubbing it in that my relationship was going somewhere and yours isn't," Katie explained. Alicia rolled her eyes.

"Think about it, Katie," Alicia said. "You and Oliver Wood. God, your children would be adorable!"

"Wait just a minute!" Katie exclaimed. "Who said I was having children with anyone?"

"When did it happen?"

"At the quidditch stadium. We went flying."

"He took you flying?! How romantic!"

"Really, it's not a big deal," Katie said.

"Yes it is!" Alicia exclaimed.

"No, it isn't! I bet he doesn't even like me that much."

"Bullshit," Alicia said. "Now, repeat after me. I'm Katherine Ann Bell, sexy and spontaneous news reporter."

"I'm Katherine Ann Bell, sexy and spontaneous news reporter."

"I'm a hot bitch!"

"I'm a hot bitch," Katie mumbled dully.

"And Oliver Wood wants in my bed!"

"Alicia, stop it! It's not like that between us."

"Do you love him?"

"What?"

"Do you love him?"

"I don't know," Katie said. "I mean, the last time I was in love was with Roger and look how that turned out."

"Roger was an asshole," Alicia said. "But we've known Oliver since school and we both know how sweet he is."

"I guess you're right," Katie said. "But I don't think I'm ready to fall in love again."

"I thought you were over all of it?"

"I am," Katie said. "I mean, I'm never going to forget all of it, but yes, I am over it."

"Then take a chance," Alicia said. "You owe it to yourself."

"Licia, I'm scared," Katie said. "I mean, I admit it. I've felt some things that I haven't felt since I was with Roger and I've even felt things I've never felt before, but I don't want a repeat of what happened before." Alicia nodded and hugged her best friend.

"We're just a bunch of lovesick losers," she said.

Oliver walked into the locker rooms and spotted the team crowded around Eliza, one of the team Chasers. "What's up?" he asked.

"I'm pregnant!" Eliza exclaimed.

"Congratulations," Oliver said with a smile.

"Thanks," Eliza said. "But, I've decided to quit."

"What? Why?"

"Well, I decided that when I got pregnant, I'd be a stay at home mom," Eliza said.

"One problem about that," Steve, the team coach, said. "We need to choose a new Chaser. None of the reserves are even close to being ready, so we're going to have to hold tryouts as soon as possible, because Eliza can't play while she's pregnant. It's too dangerous."

"I'm getting sick of my job. It's rather boring and I'm getting sick of my boss hitting on me." Oliver thought of what Katie had told him the week earlier.

"Hold those tryouts," Oliver said. "I've got the perfect person."

3 days later

"Oliver, I really don't know," Katie said. "I haven't played in forever."

"You'll do fine!" Oliver exclaimed. "You were the best Chaser at Hogwarts."

"But that was school," Katie said. "This is professional!"

Oliver turned to Katie and smiled at her. "If you don't want to do this, I'll understand," he told her. "But, you'd be great!"

Katie smiled back at him. "I'd do anything to play professional quidditch," she said. "When I was younger, it was my dream. But I just don't know."

"You never know until you try," Oliver said. "You have to take a leap of faith for your dreams."

"Ok," Katie said softly. "I'll go for it."

2 hours later

Katie leaned against the wall, laughing wildly. "I can't believe it!" she exclaimed. "I can't believe it!"

"I told you," Oliver said.

"But that doesn't mean I believed you," Katie said.

"Oh, thanks," Oliver said sarcastically. Katie laughed some more.

"I just didn't think I could do it," she said. "When I graduated Hogwarts, I never believed that I would play quidditch."

"Well, you did great!" Oliver said.

"Thanks," Katie said breathlessly. "I mean, thanks for everything. If it weren't for you, I'd never have tried out."

"Well, at least you can definitely pay your share of the rent," Oliver said.

"Thank god," Katie said. "I really didn't want to go into prostitution." Oliver smiled and kissed her deeply.

"OL-IV-ER!"

Katie broke away from Oliver to see Brooke hurrying towards them. "Congrats, Katie," she said with a complete fake smile.

"Thanks," Katie said. "I don't know if I'll be able to do as well as you, though."

"Well, not everyone can be as good as I am," Brooke said. She turned to Oliver. "Anyway, are you doing anything tonight?"

"Yes, actually," Oliver said. "Katie and I have plans."

"Oh," Brooke said, glaring at Katie. "Well, then I best be going." And she headed off.

"We have plans tonight?" Katie asked.

"No," Oliver said. "But I guess now, we do. Let's go celebrate."
