Chapter Seven: The Fight

Katie came down from her dorm room at about lunch time. She was hungry since she didn't get breakfast, and she was hoping she could see Oliver. Hoping to see Oliver? She thought to herself. Why do I.....I just want to talk to him, he looked kinda upset. Knowing him, he probable wants to beat the shit out of Flint for hurting one of his Quidditch players. Katie reasoned with herself, before going out the portrait hole. As Katie approached the Great Hall, she heard someone call out to her. She knew the voice, it was Cedric Digory. As Katie turned around, she moved her head slightly so her hair fell into her face.

"Hey, Kat." Cedric said. Katie smiled.

"Hi, Cedric." She said. Cedric smiled back.

"Um, Kat. Do you know where Wood is?" He asked. Katie shook her head, and ran her hand through her hair.

"No, I haven't seen him since this morning." She said. Cedric didn't respond, he was looking at something on Katie's face. Shit. Katie thought as she shifted her head to make the hair fall back into place.

"Kat, what happened?" Cedric asked. Katie looked away.

"Can I just go help you find Oliver?" She asked in a pleading tone. Cedric nodded, then him and Katie headed out toward the Quidditch pitch.

As Katie and Cedric neared the pitch, they saw to figures out there. Then they saw one of the figures take a swing at the other. Cedric and Katie ran toward the pitch, and saw that the two figures were Oliver and Flint. Katie and Cedric pushed the two apart. Katie was pushing Oliver away from the front, while Cedric was holding his arms. Damn, he's strong. Katie thought to herself. Cedric seemed like he had a pretty good hold on Oliver, so Katie went and picked up Oliver's discarded broom. She then walked back to Oliver.

"What the hell happened?" She asked him. Before Oliver could answer, Flint did.

"Oh, little Wood over here doesn't seem to like people bad mouthing his chasers." He said in an amused tone. Katie spun around to face Flint.

"Just go away." She said. Flint took a step closer to Katie.

"Make me?" He said, touching her cheek. Katie heard a small scuffling sound as Oliver tried to go after Flint again, but Oliver couldn't have done worse to Flint then Katie did. Katie pushed Flint away from her, and turned around. She took a step away from him, and then swiftly took a step back and elbowed Flint in the nose. She turned back to face him and used Oliver's broom to hit Flint in the back of the knees. He's feet came out from under him and he ended up flat on his back. But Katie wasn't done. Flint rolled over onto his stomach and then stood up. Katie grabbed his shoulders, pulled him down, and kneed him in the groin. Katie heard a small snicker from Oliver and Cedric. Apparently, Ol, has stopped trying to get at Flint. Katie thought to herself. Then Flint fell to his knees, Katie grabbed Flint's hair, pulled his head back, and looked him in the eye.

"I said I would never kiss you." She said through gritted teeth. Then she let got of he's hair and and he fell completely to the ground. Katie straitened up. "And that hasn't changed since this morning." She added, before turning back to Oliver and Cedric.

"You little Bitch." Flint muttered. Katie saw Oliver's jaw clench, but Katie didn't mind what Flint had just called her.

"Thank You." She said in a happier voice, without turning to face him. Katie started back to Hogwarts, not looking to see if Oliver and Cedric were following her. But within seconds, she knew they were. Once Katie, Oliver, and Cedric were back in Hogwarts, Katie turned to Cedric. "I think I'm gonna take Oliver to the Hospital wing." She said in a sweat, but Madam Pomfrey like, voice. Cedric nodded.

"Okay, Kat." He said reluctantly, before going into the Great Hall. Katie turned back to Oliver, who was bent over, clutching his stomach. Katie slowly walked over to him.

"Ol, are you okay?" Katie asked, making Oliver stand up so she could see the only exposed wound, which was on his face. Oliver nodded his head and Katie shook hers. "Ol, you're bleeding. I'm taking you to Pomfrey." She said. Oliver shook his head.

"No, Kates." He said. "Pomfrey gonna want to know what happened. An I'll end up getting detention for being in a fight." He said. Katie sighed.

"But, Oliver....you're bleeding. And that's just your nose." She said. "What the hell made you get into that fight in the first place?" She finally asked.

"Can I tell you up in the common room?" Oliver said in a pleading voice. Katie sighed.

"Fine, but Ol, you have to at least let me look at that bruise on your stomach." Katie said, pushing a small blush away. Oliver nodded, and Katie helped him up the stairs. Oliver never fights, what possessed him? Katie thought to herself. She didn't want to give him any pity. He was the one that was in the fight. He probable started it. But Katie couldn't help it. Those stupid eyes. She thought to herself.

Katie and Oliver got to the common room, it was empty. Everyone was in the Great Hall.

"Okay, Oliver. I'm gonna go get a first aid pack from my trunk, and then you are going to tell me what happened." Katie said. Oliver nodded. About one minute later, Katie came running back down the stairs with a first aid kit. Katie got really flushed at what she was about to say. "Oliver," She said. "Lift your shirt." She finished, with a small smile. Oliver laughed a bit and did as he was told. The bruise on his stomach was already turning a beige/brown color. And it had sprits of red throughout it, were the bruise was bleeding slightly. Katie opened the first aid kit, and pulled out some gauss, medical tape, and Neosporin. "Lift." Katie said, motioning to Oliver's arms. He did. Katie applied the Neosporin, and then put the gauss on, and kept that in place with the medical tape. Katie motioned for Oliver to put his shirt down once she had finished. After that, Katie and Oliver sat down on the common room couch. "What happened?" Katie asked. Oliver took in a deep breath.

"I went out for a fly." He started. "I came back down after about an hour. When I landed Flint was there. I tried to ignore him. But he just said something that made me stop." Like how I could never get you, and it killed me because he had gotten farther then I have. Oliver thought to himself, but didn't say it out loud.

"What did he say?" Katie asked. Oliver shook his head.

"Just something stupid. But, I guess it set me off." He said. Katie had a feeling that what Flint had said had something to do with her, but she didn't want to push it.

"Is that it?" Katie asked. Oliver blushed a little.

"Basically." He said. Katie sighed.

"And you got yourself pummeled, see what fighting does." Katie said. Oliver smiled.

"I should have let you fight him, you did a better job of it." He said. Katie bit her lip.

"Just promise me, you won't get into anymore fights with him, okay?" Katie said, looking Oliver in the eye and holding his gaze. Oliver just nodded.
