Chapter 5.
The time was passing fast, and Oliver was slowly starting to get over his best friend. In fact he had agreed to a date with a girl in his own year. Now only if Katie did not keep forgetting it on purpose…
It was December 18th and it was the last Hogsmeade trip of the term, and right before Christmas, which was perfect considering Katie really needed to get some of her shopping done. Mostly Oliver and Gavin. Katie had already gotten all her other gifts. A fake broom for George, and candy for Fred. For Ang and Ali, Katie thought to get them each a dairy, in which Katie had taken the time to write random things in the pages. For her parents she had another page to the never-ending scarp book, and for Mr. and Mrs. Wood she got some nice wine glasses. Katie always saved her money for Christmas and birthdays, she always thought that it was the best time to spend money.
"Hey Kit you coming?" George called, having made her and Ang wait while they went and talked to Harry.
"George we have been waiting for you and my boyfriend for ages now." Ang snapped at the two of them.
Katie on the other hand just laughed at them. "Yea, Yea George I'm coming." She laughed as he pulled her up off the ground.
As the two couples walked they split so they could have 'private' chats.
"Katie I've got to ask you something." George sounded rather serious, and Katie was not sure she liked it.
"Alright."
"Are you sure its me you want to be with and not Wood?" He asked in as flat of a tone has he could.
"Are you serious?" Katie asked almost in disgust, but she was too shocked to be fully disgusted, she had stopped walking and looked at him.
"You don't like his girlfriend." George answered.
"Do you?" She asked rather sharp.
"Well no…" He answered.
"Than that should answer your question." She glared at him.
"Really Katie I just want to know." He said.
"George. I'm not going to lie to you, Oliver means a bloody hell of a lot to me, and I would hate beyond almost anything to lose him. But Oliver and I are just mates. I've been falling rather hard for this guy that has red hair, and an uncanny way of being able to get any emotion out of me on call. He has blue eyes, and sometimes when I look into them, I can see something I never expected. But if I told him what that was, it would ruin the spark." She looked at him. It was true over the past few months she had been falling for him. Not that she really wanted too, but she was.
George had no words for her and just grinned like an idiot for a few moments before sweeping her up into his arms, leaning her back and kissing her, in a truly romantic way.
"Why do you never do that too me?" Ang asked Fred, who shrugged.
After a minute of the couple's powerful kiss, they thought they better move on. George could just not keep away from Katie that day. They were much to close for the tastes of Ang and Fred. In fact they left them while they were sharing a moment outside the owlery. Katie had gotten Gavin a few small things like always, and a set of shot glasses, that were amazing. As for Oliver she decided that she would make him a notebook with quidditch strategies she had.
The rest of the day past rather fast until it was night and Katie had packed for the holiday and came down to see Fred and George looking rather sour.
"What's with you two?" Katie asked them as she sat down on Georges lap.
"What do you think, two weeks with out our girlfriends." Fred answered.
"Ya'll live." Said a voice behind them. Turning it was Oliver Wood with his new girlfriend, Sallie, Maria, Rachel, or maybe it was Abby. Katie had no idea. "I have to leave Becca here for the same amount of time."
"Aw baby." Becca said and kissed him.
Katie turned to Fred who looked disgusted. No one in the group liked her, and the top of the list was Katie.
"Kelly do you think you could watch out for my Ol Woody here?" Becca asked looking at Katie.
"Her names Katie." George snapped.
"Or Miss Bell." Fred chimed in.
"As for watching Woody over there. I am sure he can take care of his wittle self." Katie answered. "And there right the names Katie. Becca." She gave a bit of an evil smirk.
Oliver looked outraged at the way his friends were acting. He huffed at them and turned and lead Becca to another area of the common room.
"Damn Kate that girl has problems with you." Fred smiled.
"I never knew you had it in you Kit." George grinned.
"What did she do?" It was Ang, Ali, and Lee. Who somehow managed to say it at the same time. Fred lunched into a recap as Ang sat on his lap, while Ali sat on Lee's lap.
"Hey Ginny." Katie called her brothers only sister. "could you take a picture of the six of us?" She asked.
"Of course." Ginny looked excited to be asked to take the picture. The three couples moved onto one couch, and Ginny took 3 pictures, one of the couples kissing, one just nice, and the other a silly one.
"Cheers Ginny." Katie smiled as Ginny went off to find her friends.
"She's cute." Ang commented.
Fred and George did not say anything. After all they hated the fact that she was so popular with the boys.
As the night wore on they all seemed a bit down. Ang and Fred went off to one part of the common room to be alone, Lee and Ali disappeared all together. Katie and George stayed where they were. They were lounged out on the couch. Katie had fallen asleep in her boyfriend's arms, and he had fallen asleep holding her.
Before they knew it Wood was yelling at them to wake up. As they jumped up, and realized that Katie needed to go catch the train.
"Damn Bell lets go, Gavin will kill me if I don't get you back." He half smiled at his friend.
"Ok ok." Katie said sleepily as she started to head up to her room.
"Ali brought it down for you." Oliver cut in..
"Oh." She sighed.
"Say bye to George and let's go." He snapped at her.
Katie turned to George who looked just about as awake as she felt. "I'll miss you." Katie muttered before kissing him, hugging him and running after Oliver who had her bags and his. Katie had picked up the brooms and looked back at George and smiled.
"And there the two must crazed quidditch people go." Fred slapped his hand on the back of his brother. "And you're the one with the beauty."
"Thanks Fred." George laughed.
As Katie followed Oliver, she realized that she was going to be stuck in compartment with Oliver and his girlfriend. As they reached the train Katie sighed and watched as Oliver helped his girl friend up, and left Katie to fumble, with not only both of there brooms, but the trunks as well.
