Chapter Four: Today's the day!

Oliver's POV

Lunch was coming up way too quickly for me. I was starting to get nervous about asking Katie out. Do you know what goes through a guy's mind at a time like this! But then I started thinking to myself that Angelina said Katie liked me and Angelina's like her best friend. Unless she was just saying that. Merlin, now their just messing with my head!

I walked out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and proceeded to Histroy of Magic, my last class before lunch. I would have to do some major thinking now, but it won't be too hard with Professor Binns babbling on and on. You can practically get up and leave and he still won't notice.

I took a chair near the window and just sat there. No ideas were coming! Where's Fred and George when you need them! Just as I thought that a bunch of words appeared on my parchment that I was supposed to be taking notes with.

Fred: Hey Oliver this is Fred. We invented a new way to "take notes". Just start writing and me and George will be able to see it on our papers.

Oliver: Good Merlin! I was just thinking about you guys!

George: Uhh...Oliver I thought you liked Katie.

Oliver: Eww...I didn't mean it that way. I meant that I don't know how to ask Katie out and I was thinking that you guys could help me.

Fred: Oooh! You have come to the right guys then!

George: We knew you weren't man enough to handle this all by yourself.

Oliver: What! I can too do it by myself!

Fred: Then why don't you?

Oliver: Because you guys are better at this kind of stuff. But still, I can do it by myself.

George: Well Fred, what do you think? Should we help him?

Fred: Hmmm...

Oliver: You better or else I'm gonna kick you off the team!

Fred and George: YES SIR!

George: Ok, Oliver. So here's what you have to do...

Katie's POV

I was getting kind of excited about lunch but still nervous at the same time. I was really hoping that he would ask me out then. I mean, this is the Oliver Wood we're talking about. I already knew I was going to say yes, but still. I just really hope that he doesn't get my hopes up for lunch and then wait like a month later to ask me out. And sure it would be cool to go out with him but what if we get in a fight or something and nothing is ever the same again. Oliver and I are great friends right now and I have no idea what I would do if I lost that. Ok maybe I should just stop worrying about it, maybe I would be even better if I went out with him. Yeah, just keep thinking that.

"Helloooo?"

"Huh?" I asked stupidly, coming out of my "Oliver phase" as Alicia calls it.

"Guess what time it is!" Alicia squealed. Are they really going to make me do this?

"Time for lunch!" Angelina answered for me when I didn't say anything. Ok, it's now or never. Wait a minute, how do they know Oliver's going to ask me out maybe. Are they planning something?

The three of us walked up to the Great Hall, after just finishing Potions. I was kind of glad to see the three boys already there. Maybe I'll get lucky and will sit by Fred and George. Angelina and Alicia quickly dashed my hopes as they sat down and I stuck sitting by none other than Oliver. This was going to be a long and akward meal.

As soon as I sat down Oliver greeted me and seemed to be acting like his old usual self, like nothing ever happened in the past couple of days. It was actually kind of nice because we had a pretty good conversation going and I was starting to rethink this whole dating thing. I mean, I really really didn't want to ruin our friendship. But I really really did like Oliver.

I think this must have been one of the best conversations we have ever had in a long time. It was just me and him. Fred, George, Angelina, and Alicia weren't even talking to us. But sadly, I had to leave early if I wanted to make it to Divination in time because it was so far away.

My hopes once again flew up as Oliver asked if he could walk me to my class. Of course I said he could and we once again engaged in a nice conversation, although this one didn't come quite as easily as the other one.

"Yeah, so what class do you have next?" Oliver asked me.

"Divination. What fun!" I said sarcastically.

"Ok, I just wanted to make sure I knew where I was going?" Ok?

"Yeah that might help a little." This is going nowhere. Oh boy!

There was kind of a long pause and it was kind of weird.

"So, Katie, I was wondering..." Haha! Is this it? I hope so!

"...would you like to come with me to the next Hogsmeade weekend?" Ok should I follow my heart or my mind? Oh Merlin!

"Yes, I'd love to!" I guess that would be my heart speaking! And I think I'm glad I chose that.

"Great! So I'll just wait for you in the Common Room then, ok?" What should I wear!

"Oh, uh, alright. Sounds good!" I am such an idiot! PAY ATTENTION KATIE!

"Ok, have fun in Divination!" Good Merlin Oliver just winked at me! I am so telling Angelina and Alicia!

"Yeah, I will." Oliver gave me a weird look, chuckled, and just walked off since we were already at the Divination ladder.

I was still in my "Oliver phase" so when Angelina and Alicia bombarded me with questions I had barely noticed. After I got out of my daze I told the two of them the whole thing starting with our conversation at lunch. It's going to take a while for me to get this out of my head.

"I really hope I made the right decision though." I told my two best friends as we descended down the ladder and walked on to our next class. I was really worried about this for some reason.

"Katie! Duh you did! It's so obvious that you two really like each other. Practically the whole school can tell." Angelina reassured me.

"I know we like each other now. But what about later? I want things to still be the same with us. Like if we break up I still want to be friends and I don't really want that to change."

"Yeah, but that's the tough thing about dating. It's just a chance you have to take." Alicia told me.

"Ok, I'll just try to think about positive things for now."

"Atta girl!" Alicia patted me on the back and we walked into the classroom preparing for another lesson.

Oliver's POV:

After all the classes were finished for the day I went back to the Common Room hoping to catch up with Fred or George. I walked up the spiral staircase to the boys' dormitories and knocked on the twins' door. No answer. I quickly went to my room to put away my books and my bag and then went back down to the Common Room. I looked around the room but didn't see anyone until I heard a faint whispering. I turned around and sure enough there was Fred and George most likely trying to sell their latest experiments to one of the first years.

"Ok everyone the store is now closed!" announced George as he spotted me walking over.

"So, how'd it go?" asked Fred as soon as the last firs year left.

"Good! She accepted and now we have a date for the next Hogsmeade weekend!" I exlcaimed. Ha! This will be the best Hogsmeade trip of my life!

"Way to go Olliekins!" George cheered. It's not that big of an accomplishment is it? What am I saying! Hell yeah, it's a huge accomplishment!

"Yeah but I didn't use any of the romantic stuff you guys told me. I kind of blanked out. I mean, when I'm around her I just forget everything and I go crazy! It's the best feeling when I'm with her!" Oliver tried to explain.

"Oh thanks alot loverboy! So we wasted all our advice and good ideas on you for no reason!" Fred said.

"Yeah, those are ideas that we will never get back! Thanks alot!" said George in a mock hurt voice.

I just laughed at them. What did I care? I finally got Katie Bell!

"Hey do you guys wanns go down to the Quidditch pitch and practice with me for a bit?"

"Sure, I we must."

"Ok, I'll go get the broomsticks quick." And with that I dashed up the stairs and we were quickly on our way with thoughts of Katie still floating around inside my head.

Katie's POV:

After I finished all of my homework and came up to the dormitory to go to bed I started thinking of Oliver again. Well actually I never really stopped thinking of him but this is when I was really thinking of him. Anyways, I started searching my trunk for things to wear on our first date! Hey, I girl's gotta be prepared for this sort of stuff. When I was looking through my stuff I came across and old leather book. The strap was beginning to fade and the pages were turning yellow. I opened it up and it Katie's Diary: No boys allowed! I looked through the pages and was quite surprised to find no writing inside. I must have forgotten about it. i quickly found a quill and some ink and began scribbling down my fantastic day.

Dear Diary,

Today's the day that Oliver Wood asked me out! Of course I said yes! We're going to Hogsmeade together which is like a month away and I'm already fretting over what to wear and how to do my hair. Hey! That rhymed! Anyways, I just have to write my feelings down, but the thing is that I'm not sure how I feel about this. I mean, yeah I'm excited he finally asked me out, but still. A part of me just wants to be friends, but the other part wants to be more than friends. So I'm gonna try this dating thing out and see if it works for me. I really hope it does because I do like him alot. And this might sound stupid but I want him to kiss me in the rain! That is my dream kiss. We would have a picnic or something on a beautiful hill watching the sunset and then it would start raining and i would get up and twirl around then he would follow me and kiss me! Aww...I can just picture it now! And I want him to comfort me when I'm sad and just hold me and we can talk until the wee hours of the morning. I really hope me and Oliver are like that! Good Merlin I've been thinking about this longer than I thought! It's already midnight and tomorrow's another day of school. I better get to bed now! G' night!

Katie
