Chapter Five: Recognition
Fred, George, Angelina, and Katie raced after Alicia on their brooms. George cut around a group of trees and ended up in front of Alicia, yards ahead of the others. Alicia was forced to stop.
"Can I help you?" She said in an annoyed tone. George sighed.
"Lish, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get you made." He said. That's better Alicia thought. "All I was saying was, don't get caught." George finished with a wicked grin. Alicia smile and nodded.
"I can do that." She said. Suddenly Alicia took in a big breath and yelled over her shoulder.
"Wars over! You can come out of the trenches!" George laughed as Fred, Angelina, and Katie flew out from behind trees.
"I thought that war would last longer." Fred said, George gave his brother a warning glance.
"Don't give her any ideas." He said. They all laughed, and flew back to Hogwarts.
Katie was the closest one to the window when she put her hand out for the others to stop.
"Guys, get to the side of the window. I think someone's in the room." She said. They did as they were told. Katie flew right at the edge of the window. She smiled when she saw who was in there. She motioned for everyone to follow her away from the window. "Guess who's in there?" She said.
"Who?" Angelina asked. Katie laughed a little.
"Wood. He is probable gonna make me eat my words if I fly back in there." She said, pointing to the window. Fred shrugged.
"We can just go in through our window." He said, pointing at himself and George.
"Yeah, we left it open." George finished. The three chasers nodded, and they all flew to the twins window.
Once they were inside, the girls had to get back up to their room.
"Ol's still in there." Katie pointed out. Alicia laughed.
"He'll be amazed at how we got in, though." She said. Katie nodded.
"Okay. But, let's ditch our brooms in the closet down stairs, so when we go in there we can pretend we were just going to said we were down in the common room." She said. Angelina and Alicia nodded, and the three girls headed to their dorms.
When they opened the door, they all pulled mock surprised faces.
"Oliver! What. Are you doing in here?!" Katie said, putting her hand to her chest. Oliver rolled his eyes.
"Be happy I'm not McGonaggal." He said with a stern face. Katie pushed him to the door.
"Will just be happy you aren't staying." She said with a sarcastic smile, before slamming the door in his face. Katie then turned toward Angelina and Alicia, and clapped her hands together like she was brushing dust off them. "Now that, that's done with, we can go to sleep." She said. Angelina and Alicia both doubled over laughing.
"Wood's face was priceless." Angelina said, as she tried to climb in bed still laughing. Alicia could only nodded as she climbed in her own bed.
"Yes. Yes it was." Katie added in an amused voice while shutting off the lights.
The next day, Katie was the first one down the stairs. She was a few steps from the portrait hole when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Katie turned around, and came face to face with her Quidditch captain.
"Kates, can I talk to you for a second?" He asked with pleading eyes. Katie bit her lip and nodded. Oliver led Katie over to the couch by the fire. They both sat down. "Katie, I'm sorry i got you so made at me the other day. It's just, this is my last chance to beat Slytherin and get the Quidditch cup. And I really want that cup." He said. Katie rolled her eyes, but she had a smile forming on her lips.
"Ol, I was never really mad at you. Although you better be happy you didn't talk to Alicia. She practically bit Georges head of for agreeing with you." She said. Oliver's eyes widened.
"G-George agreed with me?" Oliver asked. Katie nodded. Oliver through his hands up in the air. "That's it. Go to the Kareoke bar every night. And if I say anything else that George agrees with, do the opposite." He said. Katie laughed.
"You got it, Captain." She said through her laughter. Oliver looked at Katie thoughtfully.
"I like it when you do that." He said without thinking.
"Do what?" Katie asked, still laughing.
"Laugh." He finished. Katie's laughter died down, and a blush started o form on her cheeks. After a second, Oliver and Katie's cheeks were the same red.
"Well, um, Ollie. I was heading down to breakfast," Katie said, pointing her thumb at the portrait hole. "You game?" She asked. Oliver composed him self and nodded.
"Yeah, breakfast. That's where you put the food in your mouth and chew, right?" Oliver said. Katie rolled her eyes, and pulled Oliver up off the couch.
"Come on, Quidditch Boi." She said, dragging him to the portrait hole.
She could hear Oliver's thick laughter trail behind her as she pulled him out of the common
room, down the stairs, to the Gryffindor table, and into a seat next to her.
"Okay, okay, I'm sitting." Oliver said in an amused voice.
"Darn tooin." Katie said with a nod of her head to punctuate. Oliver laughed one more time before he and Katie both started to fill their plates with food.
Oliver and Katie ended up spending the whole day together. Until Quidditch practice, that is.
"Ow, I think I should stop this walking nonsense." Katie said as she sat down on a bench in the locker room after practice. Harry laughed as he got his Quidditch bag out of his locker.
"Woods a slave driver. You know that." He said in an amused voice. Katie nodded.
"I know, I know." She said. Harry shook his head and laughed one more time before leaving the locker room. After Harry left, Katie heard footfalls behind her. "Ol, you scare me off the bench, and you die." Katie said, pointing at Oliver, who was plaining to do just that.
"Aw, take away all my fun, why don't ya." He said, sounding like a kid who's parents had just said no to a toy. Katie slowly turned around.
"One more practice like that, and it won't be detention keeping us out of the game." She said while she tried to get up. Oliver stuck out his hand. Katie told it.
"Up ya go, Kates." He said. Katie nodded thank you. Then her and Oliver went off in their separate directions to take showers.
When Katie came out ten minutes later, Oliver was just getting his stuff together.
"Hey Bell." He said. Katie nodded hey, and got her stuff together quickly. "You wanna walk back together?" Oliver asked. Katie nodded.
"I'm gonna need someone to make sure I don't fall over from exhaustion." She said. Oliver gave her a little smile and they left.
