Chapter 7: Promises

Katie walked down the hall after a long-striding Oliver; he was moving rather quickly seeming rather impatient to tell her something. "Oliver, can you slow down I am only 5'5 not 6'4. It is rather hard for me to keep up."

Oliver only slowed his stride a little, but it was enough for Katie to keep up with, "I am rather impatient to tell you something Katie." Was all he said in response to her frantic plea. Finally they arrived in the train's semi-cafeteria; he pulled her into a booth.

Katie when she was across from Oliver looked at him as she pulled her golden-blond hair up into a bun on top of her head. "Ollie, what is the matter you looked perplexed. As if you have been told something you do not believe."

"Katie," he said as he watched her pull up her hair. "I think that I am in love with you. Let me talk before you kill me. Last time you ran away before I could explain myself." He reached up and tousled his brown hair with one hand as he pleaded with her.

"Alright, I will listen before I kill you though maybe if I like what I hear I won't kill you," Katie said. But inside her guts were twisting, could this have been what she had longed for three years ago.

"You always wondered why I didn't visit you in the hospital, didn't you." Oliver said and then took a deep breath before continuing. "It was because I couldn't bear to see someone I loved get hurt. I felt like my soul was being ripped out. Sometimes, I thought maybe you returned my feelings over the years, then the other day when you found out about Roger it gave me hope, that maybe I had a chance."

"You never visited me once, even Cade and Dave flooed in to see me. Was it to much for you to send a note or something, Oliver? Huh?" Katie said looking at him pained. "I see what you are saying in a way, but I lost the people most important to me when I was eight. Nothing can fill that gap now, not now or ever, at least I don't think. I thought Roger was getting there but look what happened from that, I had a bisexual boyfriend. Before, that I thought I loved you but then you never visited me. How do I even know what love is anymore."

"Your mother once said to me, 'The most beautiful smile is the one that struggles through tears,' Katie that is how I know I love you. It doesn't take a genius to figure out my emotions does it?" Oliver asked her, his look growing desperate.

"I am and I can't," said Katie. Looking at Oliver she realized at least her was telling the truth that was more than some people. "You are telling the truth. This is really how you feel. Now I think it is fair I tell you something. I used to be in love with you. That seems like ages ago, when you didn't visit me in the hospital Oliver we realized you felt nothing for me. That maybe you were incapable of feeling. Walking in on you and seeing you making out with various girls did not help either. So I gave that silly dream up. When Roger showed interest in me I went out with him, because I thought maybe he could show me something. In the end his promises did not amount to much."

Just then a long-legged dark haired girl ran up, "Oliver, I have been looking for you all over, can we talk." It was then she noticed Katie, "Hello, Katie. I hope you are well." The girl said it wanting to show Oliver that she could be nice to her friends.

"Lyra, what do you need, because if it isn't important, it will have to wait. I am kind of busy right now." Oliver said staring at the girl who was staring at Katie maliciously.

"Of course, it is important Oliver; otherwise I wouldn't be bothering you." Lyra said as she looked at him seductively.

Katie groaned and then replied, "Go on, Oliver. Go talk to her, I'll wait. It's not like it hasn't happened before."

Oliver looked back and forth and then finally stood, "If you're sure Katie." With that he felt a tug on his arm and was dragged away.

Katie sat there and muttered under her breath, "Yeah, I'll be waiting here forever if she has her way with you." Then she suddenly looked up as she saw someone slid in across from her, this presence of this person only caused her to glower more, "Brooke, how nice to see you."

"I was feeling the same way, Katie. My parents just wanted me to inquire as to your health. After all it doesn't seem like it is exactly stable these days." Brooke said smugly as she nodded to Katie's arms.

"My life is none of your business now is it." Katie glared icily back at the girl. "But since your parents asked, tell them that I am doing just fine. The Woods are making sure I stay in the best of health. But then again your parents just wanted me for my wealth, unlike so many other people. I guess they won't be happy in two years when I come into it fully. After all your parents made sure they were at the top of the list to inherit if anything happened to me, didn't they."

Brooke glared at her and then stood up, "We're at the school, and trust me you'll regret what you just said to me Katherine Bell." With that the girl strode off.

Katie stood up and adjusted the robes she had pulled on early and went to fetch her trunks which she saw Fred and George pulling along as she neared then, her owl who had been named Artemis was being carried by Angelina. "Thanks you guys. I really was hoping you guys had gotten them all."

"It's alright, Kates, Percy dropped in and said you were busy talking and we should probably grab your trunks for you. So respectfully we did just that."

Katie took her owl and one of the trunks and they went outside to begin their ride to Hogwarts when Oliver came running up having already dropped his trunks off. "Katie, just give me one chance."

"Alright, one chance, that's all, you mess up the first time and you don't get another." Katie promised him.

I won't mess up that much I can promise you." Oliver said as he happily got into the carriage next to her.

Well there is a lot of dialogue in this chapter, a lot between Katie and Oliver. So I hoped you enjoyed reading it.
