(I'm glad the last chapter didn't seem too weird. I hope this one isn't weird either. As usual, thanks a bundle for reviewing!)
"We are each of us angels with only one wing. And, we can only fly embracing each other."
Katie opened her eyes and blinked a couple times.
"Morning," a voice said. Katie rolled over and smiled at Oliver. "Sleep well?"
"Mmm hmm," Katie mumbled. "What time is it?"
"About ten" Oliver replied. The room was quiet as Katie lay curled up next to him lost in her own thoughts.
"We have practice again tonight, don't we?" she asked.
"Yep."
"Great," Katie sighed.
"Just what exactly are you worried about?" Oliver asked. "You're better than everyone else."
"Doubt it," Katie mumbled.
"You sure are negative."
"What do you expect?" Katie asked. "I'm not a morning person."
"Really? I hadn't noticed."
Katie rolled her eyes and smiled to herself. "So what do you have planned today?" Oliver asked.
"Not a thing," Katie said. "Just eat, drink, and be Katie."
"So," Oliver said. "You're sure your parents will like me?"
"I already told you," Katie said. "Anything to do with the word quidditch, they'll like."
"What do you think they'll say about you?"
"Either, 'That's great! We're so proud of you!' or 'Get the hell out of our house, you failure!' but I don't think they'll say that."
"That's good."
"Mmm hmm."
A small silence fell between them and Katie cuddled up against Oliver. "Oh my god!" she suddenly exclaimed. "Alicia!"
"What about her?"
"She doesn't know where I am!"
"I think she'd have some idea, wouldn't she?"
"Well, I guess," Katie said. "Great, now I'm gonna be interrogated beyond belief. You wouldn't believe how long she goes on about things."
"Do I even want to know?"
"No, but she's not even half as bad as Angelina," Katie told him. "She simply has to know everything. One time, she thought I freaking slept with George and begged me to tell her details."
"And did you sleep with George?"
"No, of course not! That'd be like sleeping with my brother!" Katie said. "Yeck. What about you?"
"No, I didn't sleep with George."
Katie rolled her eyes. "You know what I mean."
"Nope, I can't say I have," Oliver said. Katie stared at him.
"Not at all? Not even once?" she asked.
"Nope."
Suddenly, Katie started to laugh. "Are you laughing at me?" Oliver asked.
"No," Katie apologized, her laughter subsiding. "But, that's just..............weird."
"Why is that weird?"
"Think about it," Katie said, rolling over onto her stomach and propping herself up on her elbows. "You're, well, you."
"Um, ok."
"I mean, you're the star Keeper for a top pro quidditch team, not to mention every woman is after you. Don't you take advantage of that?"
"In other words," Oliver said. "Why don't I sleep with every woman I meet?"
"Exactly."
Oliver shrugged. "I'm just not like that, I guess."
"You're so weird," Katie told him.
"Gee, thanks," Oliver muttered sarcastically. Katie laughed and kissed him.
"What would the world have to say to that?" she wondered. "I can imagine the headline now: Oliver Wood, Europe's Hottest Virgin or Oliver Wood, Keeper of Virginity."
"Reporters are the biggest idiots alive," Oliver said. "They're too stupid to come up with anything. Besides, that's not the truth anymore, now is it?" Katie narrowed her eyes at him and made a face, causing him to laugh.
"Jerk," she muttered.
"Aww, sorry, Katie," Oliver said. He kissed her and smiled. "But, you have to admit, quidditch is better."
"Yeah, I 'spose you're right," Katie said. Oliver kissed her just as Katie's phone began to ring. Katie groaned and, keeping her lips locked with Oliver's, felt along the bedside table for her phone. "Huhwwo?" she mumbled as Oliver kissed her neck.
"Katie?" Alicia's voice came from the other end of the line, "Katie, where are you?"
"I'm at Oliver's," Katie replied.
"Oh," was all Alicia said. "Um, am I interrupting anything?"
"Yeah, actually," Katie said, grinning. "We were just in the middle of having hot, wild sex." There was dead silence from Alicia's end of the phone and Katie cracked up laughing. "Relax!" she said. "I slept on the couch."
"Oh. Well guess what?" Alicia suddenly exclaimed.
"What?"
"He did it! George proposed!"
Katie sat straight up, eyes wide and jaw hanging open. "Seriously?" she asked.
"Mmm hmm!"
"Oh my god!" Katie exclaimed. "Do you know what this means?"
"Uh, yeah, I'm getting married."
"Besides that!"
"No."
"Shopping trip!" Katie exclaimed causing Alicia to cheer. "Meet me in Diagon in an hour and you can tell me all about it."
"K, bye!"
Katie tossed her phone aside and smiled at Oliver. "George proposed!" she announced.
"Really?"
"Yep! So, I'm gonna meet 'Licia in an hour to celebrate."
"Your method of celebrating is shopping?" Oliver asked.
"Yes, what's wrong with that?" Katie asked.
"Nothing," Oliver said, kissing her. "I love you."
"Love you too," Katie mumbled.
"Well then, I guess I'll go make breakfast or something," Oliver said, moving to get out of bed.
"Hey wait!" Katie said, grabbing his arm. "Didn't you hear me? I still have an hour."
"So then," Alicia said as she eyed a pink skirt, "I asked him if I could wear his jacket. So, he handed it to me and the box fell out." Katie laughed. "And, I was like 'What's that?' and he was all 'Nothing!' but I knew what it was and I told him so, so he asked me right there."
"Aww," Katie said. "How sweet."
"I know," Alicia sighed. "But what about you?"
"What about me?"
Alicia rolled her eyes. "'I slept on the couch,'" she mimicked. "Puh-lease. You are such a bad liar."
"Whatever," Katie mumbled. "It's not like it's a big deal."
"Of course it is!" Alicia said as they walked into Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.
"Lady Katie Bell!" George exclaimed. "Long time, no see! Quidditch keeping you busy?"
Katie smiled. "Yeah," she said.
"I must say, we were quite surprised when he heard," Fred said.
"I can say the same for George," Katie said, smiling. "God, I thought you never were gonna ask her."
George merely shrugged and kissed Alicia on the forehead. "Where's Angelina?" Alicia asked.
"Gringotts," Fred replied. "She should be back anytime now." As soon as he finished his sentence, the door swung open and Angelina came in.
"Licia!" she squealed. "Oh my god, I can't believe it!" Alicia beamed.
"Thanks," she said. "But, why don't you ask Katie about her night?"
"Licia!" Katie whispered urgently.
"Oh come on, Bell," Fred said. "Do tell!"
"I most certainly will not!" Katie said. "It's no one's business."
Everybody sighed. "Meanie," George sniffed.
"Whatever," Katie said, shaking her head. "Anyway, my first match is Monday and I would love for my most bestest friends to come, as long as you don't embarrass me."
"Us, embarrass you?" Fred asked. "Katie, I'm hurt!"
"Stuff it, Weasley."
(I don't think I really liked this one. It was really boring, wasn't it? Eh, I'll make the next one better, I promise! Thanks for wasting your time reading this boring chapter! Update will be soon.)
