The Quidditch Master

Chapter 3

Sex God of Hufflepuff

Katie walked into the Great Hall and scanned the Gryffindor face for someone she knew. She cursed inwardly when she saw none of her friends seated and the table and took a seat at the end of the table.

She poured some orange juice into a goblet and grabbed her usual breakfast, a blueberry muffin. She was about to bite into the delicious muffin when a deep male voice spoke from behind her.

"It's a shame to see such a beautiful lady eat alone."

Katie took a quick glance over her shoulder and did a double take. "Cedric Diggory?"

"The one and only," he said with a conceited grin and took a seat beside her. "May I?"

Katie rolled her eyes before sarcastically remarking, "A little late for that, don't you think?"

Cedric shrugged and glanced at Katie's muffin. "Mmm...blueberry, my favorite," he winked at her before grabbing the muffin and taking a huge bite out of it.

Katie gave him a disgusted look.

He grinned and set the muffin back down in front of her. "I guess you can have the rest."

Katie, once again, rolled her eyes. "What do you want, Diggory?"

"Since when have we been on a last name basis, Katie?" Cedric stressed her name.

"Since you stole my muffin!" Katie glared at him before asking, "What do you want?"

"Oh, I see how it is. A man can't even try to eat a hearty breakfast without being accused of thievery."

Katie grinned in spite of herself.

"I win! I knew I could make you smile..."

Katie threw Cedric a puzzled look before prompting him. "This is the part where you explain what you just said."

"Well," Cedric threw Katie a dazzling smile, "to make a long story short, Davies said that he was sick and tired of hearing me talk about you and that I 'needed to get my bloody arse over here' and ask you out. And that while I was doing that, if I could get you to smile, he'd pay me ten galleons because apparently, he's never seen you smile before. So here I am."

Katie gave Cedric a dumbfounded look. She couldn't believe that he was so straight-forward. He had just basically told her that he liked her!"

"Katie Bell," Cedric began while grabbing Katie's hands in his own before throwing her another of his amazing smiles, "would you like to be my date for next Hogsmeade weekend?"

"Would you care to repeat that question, because I seem to have bad hearing?" Katie asked him with a shocked look on her face. Never in a million years would she have guessed that Cedric Diggory would ask her out. Last year she had a major crush on him and still did, or at least thought she did. She really didn't know for sure yet.

"I wanted to know if you," Cedric paused, "would like to be my date for next Hogsmeade weekend."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously. So, do you want to?" Cedric asked a little nervously.

"I'd love to!" Katie exclaimed.

"Great," Cedric flashed a huge grin at Katie. "So, I'll see you later?"

She nodded and he kissed her gently on the cheek before rising from his seat and strutting back over to his own table.

"What was Diggory doing here?" Oliver asked in a cold tone as he sat down in the seat Cedric had just vacated next to Katie.

"Omigosh Oliver! You'll never guess what just happened to me!" Katie squealed.

"What just happened, Katie," Oliver replied dully.

"Well," Katie began as a smile played over her facial features, "Cedric just asked me on a date!"

"Woo-hoo," Oliver replied somewhat dejectedly. He had never told Katie about the growing feelings he had for her and now his worst enemy was dating her.

"Come on, Ollie! This is, like, the best thing that's ever happened to me!"

Oliver gave her a strange look that she couldn't interpret and didn't say anything so she continued on with her excitement. "Ollie, no words can describe my happiness!"

"That's nice."

Katie looked him over and knew instantly that something was wrong. That's what a six year friendship can do for you. "What's wrong?" she asked in a soft tone.

"Nothing," he replied, avoiding her eyes. He knew that if he looked her in the eye, she would know he was lying.

"Oliver," Katie paused, waiting for him to look her in the eyes, and when he didn't, she tipped his chin upwards so that he was, "I know you better than that. You can't fool me with that 'nothing' bullshit."

Oliver debated whether he should tell her everything or not. He opted for the latter because he did not want to jeopardize her happiness. Katie was his best friend, and he wanted to keep it that way.

"What's her name?" Katie asked knowingly.

"Uh..." Oliver looked up at Katie and gave the 'deer caught in the headlights' look.

"Don't worry about it. She's not worth your time if she can't see how great you are."

Oliver grinned. "It's the exact opposite."

Katie gave him a puzzled look, urging him to explain.

"She doesn't know that I have, erm, feelings for her."

"Ah, poor girl doesn't know what she's missing out on." This statement caused Oliver to chuckle out loud.

Katie's giddiness about what happened between her and Cedric earlier returned, and she realized that she needed to go tell her dorm mates the good news. "Well, I'm off." She rose from her seat and skipped out of the hall. Oliver's eyes followed her sadly.

"Which do you like better?" Andrea asked as she held up two sets of black robes. "I personally like the ones on the left the best."

"Definitely. I mean look at the ones on the right. They are, like, so faded and ugly," Angelina replied as she twisted a lock of her hair around her finger.

"Ohmigod, like, I know," Alicia said in her best ditzy voice.

"I would just like to say," Andrea cleared her throat and opened her mouth to finish her statement when Katie threw the door open.

"Guess who just asked me out!" she squealed.

Andrea stroked the area above her mouth, where her mustache would be if she had one, thoughtfully and exclaimed, "Oooo-oooo, I know who!"

"Well spit it out, woman!" Angelina exclaimed.

"Oliver Wood!" Andrea gave Katie a wild grin, to which she received a scowl.

"I'll take that as I got it right on the first try and now you're pissed?"

"No," Katie sighed. "I don't know how many times I'm going to have to explain to you that we're just friends!"

The room went silent for a minute before Alicia broke it by shouting out, "If it's not Oliver, then who is it?"

"Well," Katie glanced nervously at her feet before looking back up, "Cedric Diggory!"

"The sex god of Hufflepuff?" Andrea asked with a huge smile.

Katie bit her lip and nodded yes to Andrea's question.

"Oh my GOD! Katie's got a date with," Andrea sighed, "the sex god of Hufflepuff!" She started dancing around the room and continually singing "Katie's with the sex god of Hufflepuff." Alicia and Angelina caught on and joined her singing and dancing while Katie stood in the middle of the room blushing ferociously.

After a couple of minutes of chanting and dancing, the three girls collapsed on Katie's bed, exhausted. Katie walked over and sat down on Andrea's bed and faced the three excited, but very tired, girls.

"This is, like, the greatest thing ever. You and the sex god," Angelina sighed

"I know!" Katie shrieked and fell backwards on the bed. "Cedric Diggory..."

"Can you," Andrea paused while she rolled onto her stomach, "possibly get me a date with one of his sexy friends?"

"I dunno. We're not even a couple yet."

"YET!" Alica exclaimed. "God, Katie, you are so lucky. He's the most gorgeous guy here, besides your friend Oliver."

"Ew," Katie sat back up, "how can you say that about Oliver?"

"You may not have noticed this, but," Andrea took a deep breath, "Oliver is pretty damn good looking."

Katie thought about it for a moment before saying, "I guess you're right. I just can't say that about Oliver. He's my best friend." Andrea coughed. "I mean one OF my best friends."

"Much better," Andrea grinned.

"Okay," Angelina clapped her hands together and sat up, "we want you to be positively glowing when Cedric sees you later, so its makeover time!"

Alicia took a quick look at her watch. "Okay people. We only have about twenty minutes before our first classes so we've got to make this quick."

Katie groaned before standing up and walking over to her chest where she pulled out her makeup bag. The other three girls did the same and pushed Katie towards the bathroom.

Author's Note: Another chapter finished (YAY!). I guess my work here is done. And this IS a Katie and Oliver story for those of you who haven't read the 'prologue.' The reason I put it in there is because it wouldn't fit as the story summary.

PLEASE REVIEW!!!

Thanks Lia06, Paradise-Unknown, IHopeForAnarchy, Blind-Sight, PiaO'Leary, Kathy, and phat duck.

Paradise-Unknown- I love the weird obsessed fans!! They're what make me keep writing because they give nice, long, funny reviews and stick with the story!! And yes, Andrea and Katie are really good friends. I should've used the 'Students Against The Abusive Nakkiepeople'. It would've been funny to see my mum's response.

IHopeForAnarchy- Yeah, my mum is wretched. She thinks that I need 'therapy', or at least that's what she calls it. The other day, she threatened to send me to a mental institute. I'm not joking either!!!

Blind-Sight- I didn't do it on purpose. I just like your name (jk-I feel like your name deserves a good rep in one of my stories) and Alicia and Angelina have to be in it. Remember---A as in ANDREA. N as in Nathanial. D as in...Oh shit, I'm gonna be DEAD!

phat duck- I mentioned in the first real chapter that I am manipulating their ages. Harry is in third and Oliver is in seventh whilst Katie and all of them are in sixth. And it's not annoying to me because I wanna know when I make BIG mistakes like that. I do it too and I review and tell the author of their mistake-lol.

REMEMBER----REVIEW
