Chapter 4

George and Katie were sitting in a chair together talking, laughing, and of course the random show of affection. It had been a few weeks, and Wood had become obsess with Quidditch and nearly never talked to even Katie.

Katie was honestly happy dating George, although her brother had told her to pick Wood over George. Oh well… She kissed George and jumped up and muttered something about having to talk to Wood.

"Hey Wood." She yelled at him as he started to head up the stairs to the boys tower. He turned and looked at her blankly. "Come here!"

He sighed rolled his eyes and walked down the stairs, it was a Saturday afternoon. They had a great morning practice, and Wood was still not happy with anything.

"We're going for a walk." She told him grabbing his robes at his chest. George smiled at her, after all he had won the girl.

"Damn Bell loosen up the grip would you?" He glared at her as they reached the outdoors.

"What the bloody hell is wrong with you?" She had started to push him backwards until finally he was up against the side of the castle.

"Bell calm down what got into you?" For the first time in ages he actually looked worried about her.

"What got into me?" She looked at him. "Maybe the fact that your Mum writes me telling me how unhappy your letters sound, how you don't sound like yourself, and do I know anything about it. When I write her back I have to tell her that honestly you have been short with me, and wont even look at me. I get an owl back from her telling me that she suspects that I broke your heart." Her eyes started to water up a little.

"Bellie, what do you expect from me?" He said as his expression dropped. "You did break my heart, its awful to see you sitting with George and laughing. I know he is a great guy and has been wonderful to you, but…"

"You miss your best mate." Katie finished his sentence.

"Yea, I miss my best mate, and I hate the fact that I am never going to be able to have her." He said and looked her dead in the eyes.

"You don't know that." Katie said and than out of impulse reached out and hugged him.

Oliver who had missed Katie more than he even let on too held her close.

After a few moments they made up there minds to at least try and stay friends. Katie told Oliver that she had made it clear to George that he was important to her, and she could not lose him as a friend, and she would even give up what they had to not lose Oliver. This made Oliver almost giddy it with the thought that maybe he still had a chance.

Over the next few weeks Oliver and Katie spent at least 2 nights a week hanging out, and the other times Katie spent with George, or everyone was together.

On Halloween the first Hogsmeade trip was planned. George wanted to show Katie a good time, but it really ended up being the typical group, minus Wood who had insisted that he needed to work on strategies, having a few too many laughs at Zonkers, and getting kicked out. They moved to the Three Broomsticks they all sat down and spent the time joking and laughing. George, Lee, and Fred had wrapped there arms around there girlfriends. It looked like the perfect happy day.

That was until later when they went to try and get into the Common room and the fat lady was gone. The fear that spread through the Gryffindor was almost time stopping. They all looked at Harry with nervous looks, included his fellow teammates, who happened to be very protective of there favorite seeker.

As they were all ushered down into the great hall where they meet the students from the other houses, who all looked a bit confused, they were given sleeping bags and told to go to bed. George had not let go of Katie the whole time. That was until Wood came up to give her hug, they muttered that everything was alright, they were both ok, it was nothing to worry about and so on. Finally to Woods annoyance George managed to get Katie to sleep next to him, where he wrapped his arm around the girl.

Katie slept well that night in George's arms. The only thing that bugged her was that Wood had gone off to sleep somewhere else, and it made her nervous.

As the week went on the team was informed, by a very angry Wood, that the match would indeed not be against Slytherin, but against Hufflepuff, this meant that everything they had been working on was rubbish. The team tried to calm him down, but nothing worked. So they spent every night leading up to the game outside practicing. And not to mention the fact that Wood nearly missed every class stopping the rest of the team, mostly Harry, in the halls to tell them something else. Katie had almost snapped at him, but somehow kept her cool when George had held her hand.

As every morning before a match Wood tried to talk to the team into eating, while he ate nothing. Even though the three girls on the team tried there best to get there captain to eat.

As they stood waiting to enter the pitch, Katie could not help but be nervous, the weather felt like an angry mother who was losing her child to a monster. Oliver and Harry stood in front, with Katie, Ang and Ali behind them. Next came the twins, who were never much for talking before a match.

When the match started, it was nearly impossible to see anything, although Katie, Ang, and Ali all played well it was difficult. And than it happened. It happened almost out of nowhere, the air had become colder, it made Katie feel as though she was stuck in a storm above the artic circle, and than she saw it. Harry, falling to the ground, the dementors who had been stationed outside of the castle. Everything stopped, well except Diggory who had caught the snitch. That was before he realized what had happened to Harry. Dumbledore was outraged, and none of the students had words for how frightening he was.

The team, minus Wood went up to go check on Harry. They all stood there waiting and staring at Harry, his friends Hermione and Ron where there as well. No one looked as scared as those two, although the team do hold a close second.

As Harry woke up, and asked about the match, we all wanted to jump in and tell him it was not his fault. The whole time Katie was standing there, she was in a daze, she was worried about Harry who had just fallen 50 feet, and worried for Wood who had been hiding in the shower for the past hour.

She would never admit it, but she was happy when they were told to leave. She made up her mind. Without a word to anyone she had run down to the Gryffindor locker room where she knew she would find an upset Oliver. As she left she heard Ang explaining things to George.

"Hey Wood." She called out, a hint of anger, and a hint of worry in her voice. When she got no answer, she went to where the boys shower was, she heard the water and turned around walking backwards towards where the noise was coming from, she also held out a towel for him. "Get out of the shower Oliver."

"Katie." He jumped backwards. "Wha- what are you doing here?" He said as he turned off the shower and ripped the towel out of her hand to cover himself.

"Came to check on you." She sighed as she turned around. "I was really worried about you. Oh and Potter will be fine." She added, Wood gave a moment of relief.

"Thanks." He muttered and took a seat on the bench. Katie followed him.

"You know its going to be ok, we still have a good chance at winning the cup, and if anyone can pull it off its our team." She said as she started to rub his back.

Had it not been for her touch, he might have snapped at her, but the fact that she was rubbing his back, while he had a towel on, and nothing else, was the last thing he had expected from her.

Katie was so worried about Oliver that she did not think twice about trying to calm him down. "Ollie you feel like a brick" she muttered as she started to work out a few knots in his back. Oliver just nodded, he could not bare himself to speak.

After about an hour of her working on his back, she finally sat next too him and smiled. "My hands hurt." She said looking down at them.

"Thanks Bellie" He smiled and than out of nowhere stood up. "Katie what are you doing?"

"Well I'm sitting at the moment Oliver." She looked at him blankly.

"No I mean here with me, when you should be with, with, with… Your boyfriend." He nearly spat while talking to her.

"Uh." Was all Katie had managed to get out before he stormed out of the room grabbing his clothes and changing. Katie seriously thought about getting up and leaving him there, but her heart would not let her.

Oliver came back out and started at Katie. "What are you still doing here? I thought you would be gone." He said looking down at his feet.

"Well I seriously thought about leaving, but figured you were already in a bad mood and to let it slide." She shrugged looking up at him.

"Katie." He paused. "We all forgot your birthday last month, you turned 15 on the 8th and no one celebrated."

"Olli you know I am not big on birthdays. Anyways Gavin and your parents remembered, as did mine." She smiled.

"But Katie I'm your best mate, and what about Ali and Ang, and you're George." He had a hard time saying Georges name.

"Its ok Oliver really." She smiled, but it was clear that se was just in the least hurt, but than again she really only expected Oliver to remember. In truth she could care less if her boyfriend remembered.

"No its not." He sat down next to her and started to punch the bench.

"Wood, stop, its ok." She looked at him slightly shocked.

"Fine." He snapped and looked at his feet before looking up to him. "I guess I just am not doing well with you dating George is all Kate, I was so upset that I forgot your birthday."

Katie smiled and nudged him with her elbow. "Why do you think I let it slide so easy?" She looked at one of his hands and took it in hers. "I hurt you Olli, I don't need anything form you other than your friendship."

"Katie Bell." Oliver looked up into her eyes. "You are never going to lose me."

The two hugged for a bit before deciding it was time to go back to the castle. As they reached the common room Fred and George were playing a game that they had most likely made up, Ang and Ali were doing some work while every now and than looking up, and Lee was sitting behind Ali supporting her. Oliver slyly moved up to the boy's dorm, and Katie went and rested her knees against Georges back. As she did that he swung her around so she was sitting on his lap.

"Cheers George." She laughed looking up into the face of her boyfriend. Wow did she hate the situation that she was stuck in.
