Chapter Fifteen: If You Knew....

Katie sat in Oliver's arm by the fire on the couch in the common room at around 12 o'clock monday evening/tuesday morning. Katie breathed out a content sigh.

"This is nice." She said, snuggling closer to Oliver. Oliver smirked a little and nodded.

"Yeah, I guess it is." He said before kissing Katie on the forehead. Katie closed her eyes and breathed in Oliver's sent. It was a nice sent. Mint with a little bit of broom polish mixed in. She liked that sent. Katie heard Oliver yawn a little.

"Ol, are you tired?" She asked. She felt his head shack.

"No, Kates. I'm not tired." He said, closing his eyes slowly. Katie shook her head and smiled.

"You are so tired." She said teasingly. Oliver chuckled, opening his eyes.

"Okay, you've got me." He said. Katie nodded, and stood up.

"Well, it was a long day. What with a potions test, then detention, then practice." She said as Oliver got off the couch. Oliver nodded, and they both walked to the middle of the room.

"G'night." Oliver said, leaning down to give Katie what was supposed to be a quick good night kiss. Katie deepened the kiss with a second of their lips connecting. Oliver put one hand on Katie's waist, Katie laid one of her's at the nap of Oliver's neck. Oliver used his other hand to cup Katie's face, and Katie put her other hand on Oliver's shoulder to steady herself. After what seemed like hours - but had only been minutes - they both pulled out of the kiss in need of that pesky thing called oxygen. Katie laughed a bit and leaned her forehead against Oliver's. The two were both breathing heavily, and Oliver's face was serious. Katie bit her lip. She was about to walk to bed, when Oliver kissed her again making her back straighten up. Katie returned the kiss. Oliver - who was closed to the couch - felt himself take a step backward. Oliver put his arm around Katie's waist completely and pulled her closer. Oliver felt Katie push him back a step, then his brain kicked into gear. He brought himself slowly out of the kiss so Katie wouldn't think anything was wrong. When Katie felt Oliver pull back, she pulled back to. Katie cheeks turned a slight pink. Oliver brushed his thumb over one of them. "Good night, Katie." He said with a smile, kissing her on the forehead. Katie smiled back.

"G'night, Ol." She said before they both headed up to their separate dorms.

In the morning, Alicia walked down the stairs. She was hoping to talk to George. She hadn't seen him the day before, in fact, she hadn't seen him since she passed him in the common room on the way to find Angelina on Sunday. And George hadn't seen Alicia pass him. As soon as Alicia hit the bottom of the stairs, she spotted George sitting by the fire. She slowly walked up behind him, then suddenly stepped out in front of him hoping to scare him.

"Hi!" She said, smiling. George didn't even flinch.

"Hi." He mumbled as he stared down at 'Zonk's Complete Guide To Joke Making'. Alicia furrowed her eyebrows.

"Are you okay?" She asked. George shrugged.

"I'm fine. Why do you ask?" He said, still not looking up at Alicia. Alicia folded her arms over her chest.

"Because I didn't see you yesterday, and we have most of the same classes." She said through parshily gritted teeth. George shrugged again.

"I didn't feel good yesterday." He said. Alicia shook her head.

"I came up here looking for you after you skipped your third class. You were no where in sight." She said, dropping her hands to her side. George looked up, not meeting Alicia gaze.

"I was..." He started.

"You were not in your room, or the hospital wing. I checked." She said, saying the last part through fully gritted teeth. George sighed.

"I was in Hogsmead okay. What do you care?" He said getting up. Alicia's eyes widened and then narrowed.

"What the hell do you mean, what do I care?" She said to George's retreating back. The few people who were in the common room (which were only about four, since the rest had gone to breakfast) turned to stare at the two.

"I mean what I said. If you cared, you wouldn't have gone out with that Hufflepuff." He snapped before he could stop himself. Alicia's face dropped. That's what he's mad about. She thought to herself. She noticed that George's face had softened, like he didn't mean what he said. Alicia decided to go the ignoramus root.

"George, I didn't..." She started. George's face hardened again.

"Bull." He snapped, cutting Alicia off. She didn't try to denia it, so George continued. "I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told Bell. She isn't exactly good at keeping secrets." He finished. Alicia felt a little guilty. After a few seconds of silence, George shook his head and walked out of the Gryffindor common room and headed toward the Great Hall. Alicia felt a tear slide down her cheek.

"What's wrong, hun?" She heard Angelina say behind her. Alicia turned around, and wiped the tear from her face. As she did so, she forced out a laugh.

"You know it's bad when you can make a Weasly twin truly mad." She said. Angelina put an arm around her friend.

"Oh, Honey." She said in a sisterly manner. Alicia shook her head as the two girls walked toward the portrait hole.

"No, it's my fault." She said. "And I'm gonna try to make it right." She said with an affirming nod.

By the time Alicia and Angelina had gotten down to the Great Hall, George was nowhere in sight. Alicia and Angelina walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to Fred, Katie, and Oliver.

"Where'd George go?" Angelina asked Fred after giving him a kiss on the cheek (AN: If you didn't get it, they have been going out for at least three chapters.:) ) Fred shrugged.

"He rammed his food down his throat and then left. He said something about, avoiding someone." He said. Alicia, who was sitting on the other side of Angelina, sighed.

"Avoiding me." She said, face dropping. Then suddenly, her face turned angry. "You know, that git never asked me out! And know he's mad that I went out with someone else?!" She yelled, but not so loud that anyone else heard her. Katie looked at Oliver, who was sitting next to her. He shrugged and mouthed 'There's nothing you can do'. Katie rolled her eyes, but nodded anyway. After Alicia's outburst, Alicia bit her lip. "I should have just asked the plonker out myself, shouldn't I've?" Alicia asked her four friends. Fred nodded, Angelina shrugged, Katie nodded, and Oliver shrugged. "I'll take that as a yes." Alicia mumbled to herself looking down at the table. "I gotta go to class." She said finally, getting up. Her four friends said their 'OK's' and 'Bye's' and Alicia walked out of the Great Hall. A few minutes later, the Great Hall started to empty out.

"We should be off to class, too." Katie said. Oliver nodded. With that said, the four teens left the Great Hall and headed toward their separate classes.
