(Ah, the joys of being home sick. Actually, I feel dreadful. Anyway, I just woke up and am already bored as hell. I'm so sorry about that last chapter. I was stalling so I'd have more time to write this one. I'm still debating about a couple ideas that I have. Thanks for bearing with me here!)

Katie hopped on one foot to the door as she attempted to pull her shoe on the other. Yanking the door open, she yelped and fell forward.

"Whoa Katie!" Oliver exclaimed, grabbing her. "I didn't know you were that excited to see me!"

"I'm not," Katie said, causing him to scowl. She laughed and pulled her shoe on. "Come on we need to go! We're gonna be late! Angie said they'll be back at 7."

They apparated to Fred and Angelina's house and stumbled through the door.

"SURPRISE!"

Katie and Oliver both jumped. "No, no!" Katie yelled. "It's just us!"

Everybody groaned. "Not again!" someone muttered. "Where are they?"

Katie and Oliver ducked underneath a table and Katie's jaw dropped. "Harry!" she exclaimed. "Oh, wow!"

"Hey, Katie." Harry Potter smiled at her. "How've you been?"

"Great, just great!" Katie said. "Oh, look at you! You're so cute."

"Hey!" Oliver said. Katie laughed.

"You know what I mean," she said. "How's Ron?"

"I think he's hiding behind that chair," Harry said. "With Hermione."

Katie's eyes grew wide. "Are they?" Harry nodded. "Ooh yay!" Katie said. "They always looked perfect together, always fighting."

"Shh, they're coming!" someone whispered loudly.

The door swung open and Angelina flicked the lights on. "SURPRISE!" Everyone jumped out, nearly giving Fred a heart attack.

"Katie, get over here!" Katie sighed and made her way across the room to Fred.

"Yes, master?" she said, bowing. Fred hugged her.

"Go get me something to drink, slave," he ordered.

"Get your own damn drink," Katie said, causing him to laugh.

"Fine, be that way," Fred said. "It's only my birthday, it's not like I'm special or anything."

"Oh, believe me, you're not," Katie muttered.

Fred rolled his eyes. "Where's Wood?"

"Over there," Katie said, pointing. "Getting mauled by rabid fan girls."

"Shouldn't you be over there too?" Fred asked. Katie smacked him on the arm. "Ow! That wasn't nice!"

"Nobody said I was nice," Katie muttered.

"After all I've done for you," Fred muttered, pretending to look hurt.

"What, you mean torturing me to test your products?"

"Excuse me, but I think it's an honor," Fred said indignantly.

"Oh, yes," Katie muttered. "It really is."

"Hey!" They turned around as Oliver hurried toward them and threw his arms around Katie.

"Oh, hello Oliver!" Katie said. "How nice of you to join us. Done harassing young women?"

"Shut it. It's not funny," Oliver said.

"Oh, yes, it must be awful," Fred said. "Having women all over you."

"As least I didn't ask Tilly Frank out," Oliver muttered under his breath. Katie burst out laughing.

"Tilly Frank? Are you serious?"

"No, of course-"

"Yes," Oliver said. "I remember it perfectly. It was after a match one day. She turned him down."

"She turned you down?" Katie exclaimed. She was laughing so hard, she was wheezing.

"Shut up, I was dared to do it," Fred said.

"Uh-huh, sure."

"Seriously, Lee Jordan dared me to," Fred said. "You think I wanted to go out with her? She was bigger than Hagrid!"

"So?" Katie asked.

"So, I didn't like her!" Fred exclaimed. "Besides, you're the one who dated that Tony bastard."

"I hated him," Oliver muttered.

"I thought he was quite sweet," Katie said. "Just a little..................dim."

"Dim doesn't even begin to explain it."

Katie laughed. "Okay, I guess you're right about that." Soft music began to play and Katie's eyes lit up. "C'mon, let's dance!" she said, grabbing Oliver's hand. She put her arms around his neck and smiled.

It took some to realize the disaster hidden in your eyes.

I know you're hurting from all the lies.

But, I'll help you fight them.

I'll keep your heart alive.

I'm scarred and broken. Please help me breathe.

My heart's torn open. Please hold on to me.

They danced quietly for a while until Katie said, "I'm moving out."

"You mean out of your place with Alicia?" Oliver asked. Katie nodded. "Why?"

"Well, I mean, when Alicia and George get married, I know they want to live there, but I also know Alicia never would ask me to just move out, so I'm going to do it on my own."

"So where are you going to live then?" Oliver asked.

Katie shrugged. "I don't know," she said. "I'll find a place, I guess."

"Oh." Silence fell between them as they continued to dance.

Today, I fell from the lonely sky.

But, you caught me.

Remind me how to fly.

My wings are torn, they need replaced.

Hold on forever, keep me embraced.

"You can stay with me, if you want," Oliver said softly. Katie stared at him.

"Are you sure?" she asked. "I mean, that is................."

"Of course I'm sure," Oliver said. "I have a whole extra room that I don't even use."

Katie thought a moment. "Well, I guess I could," she said. "I mean, if you seriously want me to."

"I seriously do," Oliver said, kissing her.

I know I seem to be insecure.

Hold me higher, stop the hurt.

A thousand nights, I have cried.

A million tears, you have dried.

"Well, OK," Katie said. Oliver smiled and kissed her again.

"You know," he said. "Back at Hogwarts, I wanted to go out with you so bad."

"You did?" Katie asked, her eyes wide with astonishment.

"Mmm hmm."

"Why didn't you ever ask me?"

"Because, I couldn't just walk up to you and say 'Hey, I like you. Wanna go out sometime?' I couldn't do that."

"Yes, you could," Katie said.

"But you always had a boyfriend," Oliver pointed out. "First, that David guy, and then that Tony guy."

"So?" Katie asked. "I would've gone out with you over them."

Where's your shoulder?

I need it now.

Where's your smile?

Replace my broken frown.

"But that would've been weird anyway," Oliver said.

"Why?"

"Because, I was your quidditch captain and I don't know, people thought quidditch was all I cared about."

"I didn't," Katie said. "Like, I remember the time you nearly smashed Marcus Flint's head in the wall because he was stalking me."

"Well, he deserved it," Oliver said. "Besides, you didn't like me anyway."

"Who says I didn't?"

"You didn't, did you?" Oliver asked.

Today, I fell from the lonely sky.

But, you caught me.

Remind me how to fly.

My wings are torn, they need replaced.

Hold on forever, keep me embraced.

Katie shrugged. "For a while I did, but then I started dating, so I guess thought I didn't. I don't know, I didn't think it mattered that much anyway. Do you remember those love letters someone kept putting in your quidditch locker?"

Oliver nodded. "You mean, that was you?"

"No."

"Then, what-"

"Alicia and Angelina wrote them and tried to make it seem like it was me," Katie said.

"Oh."

You saved me from falling faster.

You saved me from complete disaster.

My wings, they're, beginning to fly.

Take me higher, towards the open sky.

Katie smiled softly. "But thanks for the rose you left in my bag in 6th year."

"How'd you know it was me?" Oliver asked, shocked.

"You're the only guy I know sweet enough to do that," Katie said. "No, actually, Angelina saw you." Oliver laughed. "But seriously, you should have just asked me out."

"I'll keep that in mind," Oliver said, kissing her.

You held me when no one understood.

You loved me like no one ever could.

I, I fell from the lonely sky, but you caught me.

Now, remind me how to fly.

"So," Katie said. "When can I move in?"

(The song in this chapter is called "Remind Me How to Fly" which is written and performed by my band, Explicit Content. I know, I know, gee that song really fits the band name............ Anyway, I hoped this was OK, review and let me know.)
