Chapter 6.

The train ride was by far the most painful of all. When Katie had wanted to get up and go find anyone she knew to talk to, like Diggory, or perhaps even Flint in this case, Wood had snapped at her to stay.

"Wood who in their right mind would want to be stuck with the two of you." She snapped as she got up and headed out to find anyone.

To her surprise Cedric Diggory was sitting alone, when she walked into the compartment he glanced up at her and gave a weak smile.

"You alright Dig?" Katie asked him with a worried look her face.

"Hey T!" He tried to smile again. "Oh not much, where's Wood?"

"Um with his new girlfriend Becca… If I have to hear about her all break I might scream." She smiled, but quickly her expression changed back to worry. "Cedric really, you alright?"

He glanced up to her almost shocked that she knew his name. "I'll be fine, my parents have just been fighting a lot, and I'm worried they are going to split up." He said honestly, but after he did he looked shocked.

"If they do it's not your fault." She said at once and sat next to him giving him a hug.

To her surprise, and to his he started to cry into her arms. Finally after an hour she was able to make him laugh, and the two played a muggle card game called Gin. As the train got closer to King's Cross Katie hugged Cedric and told him to owl her if he needed too, and she would floo over to see him. He smiled said thanks, and watched as Katie forced herself to walk into the compartment where her things, and neighbor were.

To Katie's disgust she saw the two of them making out, and getting a bit too into it.

"WOOD!" She yelled at them.

At once the couple stopped, Becca glared at Katie, while Wood looked rather embarrassed, and Katie looked disgusted.

"Where almost there." She stated, got her things and went back to where Cedric was. He did not even ask why she was back but merely hugged her, and the two sat in a hug for the last 15 minutes.

Cedric helped Katie with her stuff off of the train, Katie found Gavin waiting for Wood and herself. She ran up and hugged her brother, Cedric followed.

"Thanks Dig, I owe you one." She smiled.

"Its nothing T, you're a good mate." He looked to Katie's brother. "You must be Katie's older brother Gavin. I'm Cedric, well there are my folks, good too meet you. And Katie I'll see you in a few weeks!" With that he was gone.

Wood slowly approached Gavin and Katie Bell, with his girlfriend hand.

"Becca I want you too meet Gavin, Katie's brother. And Gavin this is my girlfriend Becca." He smiled looking more at Katie than Gavin.

Gavin was kind, as was Becca, but Oliver thought it would be a good time to snog Becca.

Finally after five minutes Gavin had yelled at Wood, he stopped kissing his girlfriend and they were able to leave.

"Woody Wood, I'm going to miss you." Becca started to say in a baby voice.

"I'll miss you too babe." Oliver answered.

"WOOD!" Katie snapped at him.

"Damn it Katie give it a rest, I'm going to say goodbye to my girlfriend, I'm sorry your boyfriend will never care that much about you." Oliver glared at her.

"That's it." Katie walked up and punched Wood in the jaw, rather hard. "Gavin, I'll meet you at home, I'm spending the rest of the day in London. I'll floo home." And with that she stormed off leaving Wood blinking in a lot of pain, Becca freaking out and cursing Katie, and Gavin, who was not sure if he should laugh or be mad at his sister, but figured he should at least try to sort out the situation.

Katie who always had some muggle money on her, as well as a few gallons when she traveled ventured out into the muggle world. As she looked around King's Cross she sighed and made her way to a rather small wizard coffee shop. As she walked in the young man behind the bar jumped up and greeted her with a smile.

"Tea, any kind, just some tea." She said looking rather annoyed at the moment.

"You alright Miss?" He asked her as he made the tea.

"Sure I just punched my best mate and stormed out on my brother." She stated as thought it were a normal response.

"Was the best mate in bed with your brother?" Which with the way Katie had explained what had happened made sense.

"Oh god no, my best mate is for one a guy, neither are gay. But my best mates girlfriend is rather annoying, and I got annoyed him and punched him." She answered.

"Your in love with him?" The man asked

"No, never, no, I mean I don't think I am. I have a boyfriend, who is wonderful, funny, sweet, could not be better." She answered with a wry smile.

"Come sit." The man said carrying her tea over to a set of chairs facing each other. "Sounds like you have yourself a serious triangle., fill me in." He gave her a smile.

Katie took the invitation. "See I moved in with my brother when I was 8, became best friends with the neighbor boy Oliver, but the story does not really start until the beginning of this school year…" With that Katie told him everything about the year, with Oliver and George. "And than after Wood said that stuff to me I punched him." She finished with a sigh.

"Wow…" The man said. "Sounds like he is jealous of George, your jealous of Becca, but completely falling for George, which leaves you in a rather hard place. Sorry mate this is one your heart is just going to have to pick."

"Cheers!" Katie smiled and looked up at the clock. "Oh wow, I better head home, how much for the tea?" She asked reaching into her back pocket.

"Nothing Miss, just promise too stop by and fill me in." He smiled pointing to the fireplace.

She smiled and walked over to the fire, she left a tip on a different table, and called out "Gavin Bell's flat" and in a flash of bright green flames she stumbled into the living room to find Gavin sitting reading a letter, with a rather happy grin on his face, he glanced up at his rather tired looking sister. "Welcome home sis, sit down, we have to talk." He sounded a bit serious, but it was not what Katie thought it was.

Katie took a seat down in the chair that has always been hers and looked at her brother.

"Don't worry your not in trouble, just want to tell you that my girlfriend and her sister are going to be staying with us for a few days, mostly the 21st to the 27th." He looked nervously at his sister. "I know it was suppose to be just us and the Woods, but I really like this girl."

"Ok." Katie answered. "What's her name?"

"Samantha Holmes!" A rather dumb smile played across his face.

"Ok." Again with the short answer.

"Katie, don't worry about Wood."

"Yea, Yea… But I should go talk to him…" With that Katie got up and left her brother, who smiled after his sister and just nodded.

Walking outside her flat she managed to walk up to the Woods front door, she held her hand up to knock, but did not get the nerve, and just as she was about to walk away from the door she heard someone coming to open it.

"Katie dear, what are you doing out here?" It was Mrs. Wood looking at Katie a bit worried.

"Well I thought about coming to talk to Oliver but thought… Well you know his mad, and I just kind of… chickened out." She gave a weak smile.

"That was one nice punch you gave him." Mrs. Wood smiled brightly at Katie. "Come on in his in his room."

Katie could not help but smile at Mrs. Wood, as she walked into the house Mr. Wood smiled at her, rather bigger than he normally did. "Bell I never knew you had it in you, I'm proud."

Katie could not believe they were not mad at her, but smiling at her for punching their son. Katie nodded to Mr. Wood and bounded up the stairs to Oliver's room, she knocked on his door.

"Mum I'm fine really." He yelled.

Katie rolled her eyes and opened the door and walked in, to find a very shocked half dressed Oliver. Well just boxers' counts for a bit less than half dressed.

"Bell what are you doing?" He looked shocked at her as he jumped up from his desk that had a small model of a quidditch pitch. Katie who normally would have just jumped on his bed, no matter what he was wearing, stood just a few steps in the room.

"Just…ah… Came to check on you." She answered really quite noticing that the left side of his face was slightly bruised already.

"I'm fine Katie." He answered giving her a bit of an odd look.

"I'm sorry abo-"

"Its fine."

"No its-"

"It is.

"Bu-"

"Forget it Katie"

"Oliver."

"What?"

"Will you should just let me say sorry." She snapped at him. During this whole little spat they had managed to get so they were about a few inches apart.

"Ok." Oliver whispered, he towered over her, but somehow she always stood her ground.

The two just looked into each other's eyes. It was a bit of a heated moment, and the tension between them was enough to light a fire.

Katie reached up to where she had punched him. "I was just mad." She muttered feeling the heat from the bruise.

"I know, I shouldn't have said that." Oliver reached for her hand and brought it down from his face. "Your brother made it very clear that he was on your side, as did my parents. The only person who hated it was Becca, she was outraged. I thought she was going to run after you." He gave her a sheepish smile and lead her to his bed.

"I—"

"Don't want to lose you." Oliver finished for her.

"Yea. But Ollie no one likes her." Here we go again Katie being blunt again.

"I know, my friends in my year like her." He shrugged.

"Well the rest of the team hates her." She stated.

"Yea." He looked down at his feet.

"What do you see in her anyways?" She asked him as she started to give him a back rub, it was kind of just habit for her, and really when she wanted to ask him difficult questions.

"Well she's pretty, she's hot, she's really different, and she thinks I'm funny, she will listen to me go one about quidditch, and she's hot." He answered in a very blunt way.

"So basically she's hot." Katie said trying not to laugh.

"Yea." He answered unable to really form clear thoughts, and he actually noticed what she was doing and jumped up. "Damn it Katie that's not fair."

"What's not fair?"

"You can calm me down and than ask me things like that. You know it too." He was angry with her, again.

"Ok." Katie said dryly.

Oliver got really upset and sat back down at his desk, Katie however moved her way up on his bed resting her head on one of his pillows and shut her eyes. Oliver did not even take notice of her for an hour, after she had fallen asleep.

"Oliver dear, is Katie staying the night?" Mrs. Wood asked from the doorway

"She passed out on my bed, so I would guess, so but I think I am going to take her home." He answered.

"Ok dear." And Mrs. Wood had gone to her room, Mr. Wood following shortly afterwards.

"Damn it Katie." He muttered as he watched her sleep for a good hour. After giving up on the idea of taking her home, he managed to tuck her in, and he grabbed a blanket from his closet and slept on the floor.

Somehow Oliver woke up before Katie did. As he got up from the floor he looked at her, sleeping in his room, why did it feel so different when this had happened too many times to count. Normally he would jump on the bed and tickle her to wake her up, but today he just sat on the edge of the bed and started to lightly brush her hair out of her face. Katie who slightly woke up muttered something about a bear and a bean, which caused Wood to laugh.

Katie how had figured he just wanted her to move over a bit did, and pulled Wood down so he was laying next to her. Katie than thought that his shoulder would be a better pillow. Sadly Katie was not awake for any of this, and Wood who was in dead shock knew it, but he was not going to complain.

An hour later, Oliver was still awake, Katie woke up with a start, and sat up straight. She looked around and took a moment before she realized she was in Woods room, when she turned and saw that he had been her pillow she could not help but smile.

"Morning." She said with a hint of being nervous.

"Morning Bell." He said as he sat up.

The two looked at each other for a bit before Katie seemed to take in what was happening.

"Thanks for letting me crash Wood, I better be heading out," she smiled as she jumped out of the bed, forgetting her shoes (as always), but she stopped at the door. "I hope you know I really could never bare losing you." And with that she bounded down the stairs, said good morning to the Wood's and headed over to her house, as she opened to door she saw Gavin sitting on the stairs waiting for her with a rather big smile.

"You two make up?" He asked.

"I guess…" Katie answered.

"Go get a shower, we have loads to do today." Gavin smiled.

"K." Katie bounded up the stairs and turned the water on, she figured Gavin wanted to wonder the muggle streets of Edinburgh, so she lay out an old t-shirt that was too big for her and a black skirt. After her shower she put the clothes on, although they did look a bit odd, it worked on her, as she made it down the stairs her brother looked up.

"Is that Woods shirt?" He asked, noticing that it had a goal post on it.

"I think it is." She answered as if it meant nothing.

Her brother just laughed, he had always wanted to two to get together.

"What?" She asked him.

"Nothing." He got up and patted her on the head. "Is Oliver coming with us?"

"I don't know." She answered. "Go ask."

"Ok." Gavin rolled his eyes and went over to the Wood's as Katie went to the kitchen and got a piece of toast. As she sat on the counter eating it Wood came walking in with her flip-flops, Katie really hated normal shoes, even though there was loads of snow on the group, she had to be talked into where sneakers.

"Cheers mate!" she smiled taking her shoes, and leaving them in the kitchen.

"Anytime Bellie." He smiled looking down at the fact that she was wearing one of his shirts.

"You two ready?" Gavin called waiting impatiently for them.

They both muttered yes and followed him out the door.
