Chapter Twenty-Two: The Shit Fest.

When the afternoon of the twenty-seventh finally rolled around Katie found herself walking Oliver to…..detention.

"You shouldn't have 'accidentally' thrown your pumpkin juice at him." Katie said, stopping at the entrance of the library. Oliver shrugged.

"He's a ghost, how was I to know it would stain?" He asked. Katie shook her head at the mocking of there history teacher.

"At least he only gave you detention in the library." She said, putting a small smile on her face.

"Oh yeah, I get to spend every afternoon at the library for the next six days, fun." He said sarcastically. Katie rolled her eyes.

"Well, you get out at 7, right?" She asked. Oliver nodded. Katie smiled. "Than I'll see you then." She said before giving Oliver a kiss on the lips and walking away. Oliver took a deep breath and walked into the library.

Katie walked into the Karaoke Club and signed in. Twenty minutes later her name was called. Katie walked out onto the stage and sat down. She hadn't gone there in about a week, and she felt like singing.

The streets are all busy
And we're still in bed
We should be up working
But we're lying here instead
I look outside, the weather's fine
For playing music, and drinking wine

Katie sang, thinking about this past day. The past morning.

I could waste the day with you
I could slip away
Into another dimension
What a perfect way, to spend the day, with you

Oliver was so sweet, Katie couldn't help but think.

Let's walk to the cafe
And sit in the sun
And read all the papers
And watch everyone
Cause life is short, and life is sweet
And sometimes you've just got to set yourself free

I could waste the day with you
I could slip away
Into another dimension
What a perfect way, to spend the day, with you

I could waste the day with you
I could slip away
Into another dimension
What a perfect way, to spend the day
Yeah what a perfect way, to spend the day, with you

Katie finished the song. No real thoughts in between. She just let the words wash through her. Katie smiled and walked off the stage, going out to where she had left her broom. She looked at her watch. She still had about 45 minutes until Oliver was released. Katie shrugged and mounted her broom. She was back at Hogwarts in minutes flat. She loved not having to fly through her window. It being Christmas break, the students were aloud to leave the campus.

Katie took the long way to the Gryffindor tower. This way involved passing a few classrooms. As she passed one, she heard a loud bang noise, and then nothing. Curiosity getting the best of her, she look through the little window into the classroom. Katie's hand flew to her mouth and less than a second passed before tears were coming down her cheeks. Katie couldn't take her eyes away.

In that classroom stood Oliver, making out with the Slytherin slut. Suddenly, Casey (a.k.a. Slytherin Slut) shot her head in the direction of the door. Katie was finally able to take her eyes away. She went reeling backwards and hit somebody. Katie turned around and came face-to-face with Flint. Katie turned and took off toward Gryffindor Tower. About minutes later, she heard footsteps pounding after her. Katie knew those footsteps, they were Oliver's. She didn't stop. She ran up the stairs as fast as her legs would carry her, yelled the password to the fat lady, and ran in side. George, Fred, Angelina, and Alicia were sitting on the common room couch. Katie didn't stop to greet them, she just kept running until she was through the door of her dorm room. That was were Katie let herself collapse in tears.

Alicia and Angelina had jumped up when Katie came running through. When she didn't stop running, they knew something was wrong. A minute later, Oliver came running through the portrait hole. Angelina, Fred, Alicia, and George were now standing at the base of the girls stairs. Oliver was forced to stop in front of them. Angelina furrowed her eyebrows at him.

"What the hell happened, Wood?" She asked.

"Katie just came through here in tears." George added. Oliver looked gittery as he ran a hand through his hair.

"I have to talk to her." He said more to himself than his four friend. A light bulb seemed to turn on in the four friends heads. When Oliver started to move, Fred grabbed his arm, making him stop.

"What happened?" He asked, keeping a firm hold on Oliver's arm. Oliver looked like a deer caught in the headlights. He then looked down at the floor.

"I…." Oliver started and stopped. He didn't know what to say. After about 70 seconds of waiting, Angelina and Alicia shook their heads and started up the stairs.

"We'll find out." Alicia said to the twins. They nodded. Once the girls were gone, Oliver pulled his arm out of Fred's grasp and walked over to the couch. Once he had sat down, he let his head fall into his hands.
