Chapter Three: The Plan In Progress

After Katie went up to her dorms that night Angelina, Alicia, Fred, and George huddled together forming a tight smal cirlce.

"Ok, we have to get Oliver and Katie together...and soon!" Alicia whispered frantically.

"Yeah, Oliver's been moping around in his dorm all day!" George said.

"And Katie's not acting her usual cheerful self." Angelina agreed.

The four of them sat in silence trying to think of a plan to finally get the two lovebirds together.

"Wait you guys, I have a plan!" shouted Alicia a little too loudly, causing a few surrounding students to look in their direction. "Well, you know Katie thinks that we know who Oliver likes so we could wait and see if the suspense kills her!"

"Yeah, that's good. But what should we do about Oliver?" George questioned.

"Oh yeah. Ok scratch that." Alicia answered glumly.

"Wait guys, I have a good plan!" Fred exclaimed after the group had spent a few more minutes thinking of what they should do about this whole mess.

"Shoot!"

"Ok, I'm going to go talk to Katie in the morning and say that Oliver really likes her and stuff and either you or you," Fred pointed to Angelina and Alicia "should go talk to Oliver and say that he should ask Katie out because she really likes him."

"Yeah! That just might work. But I should talk because I'm better at this stuff than Alicia." responded Angelina. Alicia nodded.

"Yeah, that's good and all, but how come I am not talking to Katie? I'm a smooth talker!" George protested.

"True, but I'm smoother." said Fred, trying not to brag too much. "Ok, we better go get some shut-eye. We have a busy day tomorrow." Fred winked at Angelina.

"Good idea. But in the morning before breakfast you should probably talk to Oliver and say you're gonna talk to Katie, so he won't get suspicious or jealous. Angelina will do the same for Katie." Alica advised.

"It's good to have you Alicia. Without you our plans wouldn't be error-proof. Thank you!" George said dramatically, as he bowed lowly down to Alicia's feet.

"Good night, see you two in the morning." With that the four of them quickly, but quietly went up to their dorms to embark on an incredible journey known as dreams.

Oliver's POV:

"Olliekins!" sang a voice that rang throughout the room. Ugh, that can only be one person, or two. Fred and George.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw two flaming red heads in front of me. It took a little while for my eyes to focus and I saw that I was indeed correct. Fred and George were in my dorm, dressed and ready to tackle the day.

"Olive! It's time to wake up!" Olive? Since when do they call me Olive? Anyways, I don't like it!

"Why are you in my dorm?" In other words, leave please!

"To wake you up sunshine!" exclaimed George as he threw me my robes.

"Hurry up and meet us in the common room in ten, pronto!" Fred commanded, now taking the role of an army officer.

"Yes, sir!" I saluted sleepily.

I took a shower and got dressed quickly, wondering what they had in store for me in the common room. I dragged my feet down the stairs and stopped right in front of the two twin trouble makers of Hogwarts.

"You're late." barked Fred as he was pointing to an invisible watch on his wrist.

"Whatever. It's only by a couple minutes." I argued.

"Ok, so I suppose we could let this slip one time. But anymore and it's detention!" warned Fred. He's quite a character. He's not serious is he?

"Follow us to the Great Hall will you?" said George and they led the way out of the common room, completely forgetting about the detention episode. That's what I call a short attention span.

"So what's your view on Katie?" asked Fred once we were halfway there already. Whoa, that sure was out of the blue!

"Well, she's a really nice friend." I answered. Ok, so maybe a little more than a friend. But what they don't know won't hurt them.

"You mean, more than a friend." corrected George. Ok that's creepy, how did they know that! Can they read my mind?

"Maybe..." I muttered.

"What? What did you say?" asked Fred, cupping his ear with one hand and leaning closer to me.

"Maybe." I said a bit louder.

"Maybe what? I didn't quite catch that." repeated George. Ok, I know they heard me that time! He too was folling the same gesture as Fred, cupping his ear with one hand and leaning even closer toward me.

"Maybe I like Katie Bell as more than a friend!" I practically shouted right in their ears. Ok, so maybe I shouldn't have said it that loud. We are right in front of the Great Hall! I hope it's sound proof!

Fred just smirked and opened the large oak doors to the Great Hall while George was massaging his ears as if an eardrum had just popped. I looked around the hall and nobody was looking at me weirdly, so I figured it must have been sound proof after all. I heaved a huge sigh of relief. Thank Merlin! I don't want my secret getting out to the whole school when I can't even tell the person that matters the most!

Katie's POV:

I woke up unexpectedly early the next morning. I didn't need to actually start getting ready for classes yet, so instead I just went down into the Common Room and sat down on the large, comfy couch. I started staring into the fire, which had now simmered down into a plie of glowing embers. I couldn't help but think that it was my fault that Oliver was stuck up in his room. Well, actually it kind of was my fault. But I just felt so awful. Maybe I should just go tell Oliver the truth. 'Oliver I lied. It's you who I like. I just want to be with you and only you.' I longed to just say that to him but couldn't. How would he react?

The creaking of the stairs interrupted my thoughts. I turned around and saw Angelina slowly descending the stairs and take a seat in the armchair on my left.

"Katie, what's on your mind?" Angelina questioned. Yeah, like I really want to tell you.

"Nothing." Katie lied.

"Yes there is something. Or else you wouldn't be sitting here." Angelina retorted back smartly. No, don't give into one of her mind spells! Do not tell her anything!

"Ok fine. You caught me." Too late. Great, now she'll probably actually tell Oliver. Wait, is that good or bad? Hmm...maybe this won't be a problem at all!

"Come on, spit it out Katie." Hold on woman! Just let me recall the facts in my own mind first. Man alive!

"Ok, ok. Well yesterday, you know when Oliver was walking me to History of Magic, he asked me who I liked. I said Cedric Diggory-" Why am I telling her this?

"But you really like Oliver." Angelina interrupted. Merlin, how does she know this stuff!

"Yeah and- wait, how did you know?" I questioned.

"I have my sources. Ok anyway, on with the story." Am I really that obvious? Reminder: Don't flirt with Oliver so much, it attracts unwanted attention.

"That's pretty much it. I told him I liked Cedric and I haven't seen him since. I feel really bad about it too." There are you happy now?

"Well worry no more! I'll go talk to him later and see what's up." Angelina said.

"Ok thanks Ange!" I said as I got up to hug my best friend. We skipped up to the girls' dorm together. I am turning more and more girly! First I squeal and then I skip? What is wrong with me!

We descended down the stairs to the Great Hall, only after finally getting Alicia to wake up, and took a seat and the Gryffindor table for breakfast. Just as I expected, I saw Oliver, accompanied by Fred and George, make his way down the aisle to sit at the Gryffindor table. Good, Fred and George must have convinced him that it's silly to lock yourself in your room all day. Or wait...maybe he was just hungry. Ugh!

Oliver's POV:

I walked down the aisle to our table and sat down kind of close to Katie, but not within hearing range. So I guess that's not close to her, but it was definately as close as I wanted to get. I piled my plate with eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, sausages, toast and much more. Hey, what do you expect? I haven't eaten since lunch yesterday and I'm a growing boy...er...man!

"So, you gonna talk to her?" Fred asked, with that Come-On-I'm-Waiting tone of voice.

"What? No!" Are you kidding me? She told me who she liked, I was disappointed, and I ran away and hid in my room like a...a...a GIRL! Do you know how humiliated I am? I mean come on, what kind of boy, I mean man, does that!

"Aww...come on Olliekins!" George pleaded. Ugh! These twins are really getting on my nerves now! Must they always use 'Olliekins'! Even though my mother used to call me that, she doesn't anymore! Sheesh! But at least it isn't as bad as Olive!

"Fine...I will at lunch, but only if you guys would stop pestering me!" What in the name of Godric Gryffindor did I get myself into! I know, maybe I'll eat lunch early, or maybe they'll forget. Oh what's the use! I know they'll remember so I should start thinking of what to say already.

"Oliver? Can I talk to you?" asked a voice from behind me. I was hoping and hoping that it wasn't Katie and was relieved to find Angelina when I turned around.

"Yeah sure." I responded quietly. Merlin, I hope she doesn't chew me out for running off and leaving Katie!

We slowly made our way to our classrooms and started a casual conversation, but I knew that's not what she wanted to talk about.

"Oliver, Katie really likes you." Angelina blurted out. She then quickly covered her mouth like a first year who just told one of the hugest secrets ever.

"No, she said-"

"I know, she said she likes Cedric." Angelina started to explain, "but she really doesn't. She likes you. She just didn't tell you because she thought that you still liked Jenny Kromack. Oh, and don't try to hide it, because I already know you like Katie too." She was talking to me like I was some major sixth year gossiper, which I most certainly am not.

"Ok, but that still doesn't make any sense." Ok, I know I sound really dumb now, but what am I supposed to say? 'Ok I'll ask her out at lunch!' I don't think so. For all I know Angelina could just be saying this to get us together.

"Oliver! How dull can you get?" She said, sounding quite annoyed. "Isn't it obvious?"

"Umm...not really, no." Sorry, but I'm not a girl, I don't deal with relationships very well.

"You should ask her out!" Score! I knew she wanted me to ask Katie out! Maybe I am good with relationships after all. Wait...ask Katie out! Good Merlin!

Katie's POV:

I was glad that Oliver didn't sit very close to me. It would be quite uncomfortable and that wouldn't make matters any better. I saw Angelina get up, wink at me, and then went to approach Oliver. Oh no! Not now! Why is she doing that now? I wanted her to do it later. Now she'll probably accidentally make him lock himself in his room again, wonderful! Just what I need.

I kept talking to Alicia and acted like I knew nothing about what Angelina was up to. After finishing the last bite of my toast I stood up, ready to leave. I expected Alicia to follow me, but she didn't.

"Aren't you coming?" I asked when she just continued on eating her eggs and hashbrowns.

"No, I'm just going to stay here for a bit longer. I'm really hungry this morning for some reason." she answered me.

I left in a hurry, I was quite annoyed with her. I mean Merlin, can she just stop eating to spare enough time for me? And to make matters even worse Fred came waltzing right up to me. What is he going to do this time? Turn my hair orange?

"Hey, Katie, can I talk to you for a sec?" he asked. I looked at him suspiciously, half expecting him to lead me into one of his pranks. But I found myself following him anyways.

"Ok."

It seemed as if he was just walking me to our next class and talking about nothing really. What is the point of this?

"Ok, enough of my babbling. What I really wanted to talk to you about was Oliver." Oh man, I knew it would come to this.

"Listen, I really didn't mea-"

"Katie, Oliver really likes you and when you said you liked Cedric he was crushed. I know you didn't mean to but he really likes you and I know you really like him too." Fred interrupted. How does he know that? Angelina!

"No he likes Jenny Kromack!" I protested, even though I half expected Fred to say I was wrong.

"Now that is where you are wrong, my dear. Oliver just said that because he didn't want you to know about his 'crush'." Fred explained. I so knew he was over her!

"Great! But what do you want me to do about it?" I asked, kind of snappily. Ok, I didn't mean to be so snappy but really, what did he want me to do about it?

"Well, just sit tight and wait. Oliver will come to his senses soon and he'll ask you out. Now what I want you to do is say yes! Which of course you will, right?" No, I only like Oliver a lot! So I'm going to say no...

"Of course!" So now I just wait? Oh great, with Oliver you never know how long that will be.

Ok again I am sooo sorry it took so long! But I really hoped you enjoyed it. And just to let you know, I'm not sure if Cedric is still alive or not, but in my fic he is. I just thought about that and I just wanted to let you know. CEDRIC IS ALIVE IN THIS FIC! Ok so thanks again for reading! I will love you forever if you review!
