Again just using the world of JKR
And thank you too my reviewers, you made my first story a REALLY happy one for me!
Chapter 12.
The last week that they were at school always felt a bit odd. It was difficult to sit and wait for the results of exams and such.
What was even odder was how much happier Katie felt now that she was with Oliver. It was however a bit weird between her and George, but that was expected. She still never took off the necklace he gave her, although she did hide it.
Finally it was there last night at Hogwarts. Katie and Oliver were sitting in the common room talking about Quidditch, and Oliver's up coming try outs. When George came up and sat across from them.
"Hello!" He grinned.
"Hey." Katie smiled.
"I've got something to tell you both." He was grinning like an idiot.
"Alright?" Katie smiled waiting, and Oliver looked up.
"Emily asked me out!" His grin widened.
"That's amazing!" Oliver and Katie smiled brightly. Katie felt like she had a weight lifted off her shoulders.
"I'm really nervous though. I want to show here a good time this afternoon but I don't know what to do." George did look a little nervous.
"Ask Hagrid if you can take her too see the unicorns. There are a few down there right now, and I know that she loves unicorns." Katie smiled.
"Really? She does? Are you sure?" He asked leaning up on the chair.
"Yea George, the few times I've talked to her that is all we talked about. She was shocked to find out that I like unicorns. Apparently I am too into sports to like them." She laughed. "She just found it interesting." She added looking at George's puzzled face.
"Cheers Katie!" And with that he bounded up and went to go talk to Hagrid.
"Good one Katie." Oliver whispered into her ear.
"He's still my friend!"
"I know." He grinned. "But you're my girlfriend."
Katie sent an elbow into his ribs and laughed. Oliver smiled and wrapped his arms around her a bit tighter.
"Ok so I was thinking that we need to get you stronger on the left side Wood." She smiled. "I know you don't want to hear it but that is your weak side, how do you think I always get things past you?"
"I know your right." He muttered a bit annoyed.
"And I score best on the left, so once you can stop me, you'll be good." She smiled.
"Do we have to talk about Quidditch?" He said, which stopped almost all of the common room, everyone looked at him, and Ang came over to look at him.
"Oliver are you alright? Did I just hear you say that you did not want to talk about Quidditch?" She asked blinking at him.
"Yea." He said looking around at the quite common room.
"Oh. Ok." She had no idea what to say. Just then the common room broke out into applause. Katie looked just as shocked as everyone else, but she turned and kissed Oliver.
"Well that's a first." She giggled and settled back down into his arms. The two sat there for a bit without really talking, just relaxing. It was strange how easy and natural it all felt With Oliver it just all came naturally.
Finally they got their marks back; well everyone but the O.W.L.S and N.E.W.T level students. Which meant that Katie was the only one who got anything back, she did well, with everything at either Outstanding or Above Average. She was honestly shocked at her grades, and Oliver smiled and messed with her hair a bit as he looked over her shoulder at her marks.
Around 4, Katie, Ali, and Ang thought that it would be a good time to go and pack before the feast. It was always difficult to pack. The three girls looked at each other with rather sad faces as they started to put away their pictures.
"Katie have you talked your way into staying in here with us?" Ali asked looked at the newest picture of the three girls.
"Yup." She smiled. "I made a deal that if I did well in school I would be able to stay living with you two."
"Good." Ang said as she picked up the picture of the three couples, well when Katie was still with George. She smiled and looked up too Katie. "I still can't believe this year."
The girls lunched into a recap of the year, and laughed at almost everything, even the bad things seemed to be a bit funny at this point.
"Hey Ali how long do you think that Fred and Ang are going to stay together?" Katie asked with a wide smile as she lay out a set of muggle clothes for the trip back.
"Forever, but they at least are going to break up a few times." She laughed.
"I can see Fred going after Leanne." Katie giggled, and had to duck as a pillow went flying towards her.
"Or maybe he'll go after Emily after George gets bored with her." Ali added. She too had to duck.
"Will you two stop it!" She snapped at them and than started to laugh. "Well what about Ali and Lee" She looked to Katie.
"Actually were going to take a break." Ali said rather quietly.
Katie and Ang looked shocked as the rounded to look at Ali who gave them a weak smile.
"Well I just think that we need to take a break, I don't know I want to see what else is out there, and he keeps talking about his new best friend, Amber, the Ravenclaw girl in Katie's year. And I got sick of it so, we kind of broke up."
"You broke up or are you taking a break?" Ang asked her, both girls had moved to sit next to Ali on her bed.
"I'm not sure." She muttered and burst into tears.
"Ali, hun, why did you never tell us?" Katie asked as she and Ang hugged her.
"I don't know I was scared we were growing apart, it has been so long sense just the three of us really hung out." She muttered. This hit Katie and Ang hard. It was true they all had started to drift apart.
Ang looked at Katie with wide eyes, and Katie gave her a sad smile.
"Just because we drifted a little does not mean we are not here for you Ali." Ang said.
"I know but I did not want to bother you guys. I mean Katie has had enough to deal with this year for all three of us." Ali stated as she started to calm down.
"That doesn't matter Ali." Katie said. "I would rather have you come to me!"
"I know. I'm sorry." Ali started to cry again. The girls ended up all lying in Ali's bed. Ali was in the center while Katie and Ang where hugging her from either side
It was the only thing they really could do for Ali at the moment. It also gave the girls some time to be together with out the guys bothering them. It was amazing how much they all missed each other, and now they were leaving tomorrow to go back to there homes.
Home? Katie thought thinking about her family, she was going back to the Woods. How were they going to take her and Oliver dating? Was this going to cause problems? Would they kick her out too? Than she realized that Ali had started to talk.
"Lets go down to the feast." Ali muttered. "Thanks." She smiled at Ang and Katie. "I needed that.
The three girls linked arms and went down to the feast together, they ever sat together. Side by side, for the first time in what seemed like ages. The boys sat across from them, and Emily had joined on the boy's side next to George. Lee was not sitting with them.
During most the feast Katie, Ali, and Ang talked to one another, and barely even talked to anyone else, that was until Emily cut in.
"So I know this is awkward, but um. I was wondering if you guys wouldn't mind if I joined your conversation. Listening to them go on and on is getting a bit difficult." She nodded her head to the boys. Katie and Ali smiled. Ang however had no reaction.
"Of course. We were just talking about how it seems that we all have been a bit side tracked, and if it will be Ali or I who is captain next year." Ang shot at her.
"Right, but we can change the subject." Katie stated.
"Yea. We were just thinking about meeting up over the summer and visiting the coast." Ali said. "And seeing as you are dating our George here, maybe you would want to join us."
"It's just the girls, but you should join us. I mean George is one of our good friends, and we are a bit of a close group, and it would not be fair for you too be left out." Katie added.
"Really?" Emily smiled brightly, even though she was a bit put off by Ang.
"Yea of course." Ali added.
The girls started to tell Emily about their plans, and after a few minutes Ang started to loosen up at talk to Emily. They all however stopped talking when Professor Dumbledore started to talk.
Of course Gryffindor won the house cup, which was expected after winning the Quidditch Cup. It was truly an amazing feeling, even though they had won the past three years in a row, this happened to be one of the most amazing times.
As they all started to move out of the Great Hall, Oliver came up behind Katie and wrapped his arm around her. Katie smiled and leaned into him a bit, as they walked up to the common room.
All the 7th year students seemed to be very emotional, Percy was talking at high speeds to one of the first years. The rest of boys in Oliver's year were talking about life and what they were going to do. The girls were all crying and going over there 7 years at Hogwarts.
Oliver was sitting with Katie until she told him to go talk to everyone he was not going to see. Finally Oliver kissed her and went off to join the rest of the 7 years who had all come together for one last time.
Katie smiled at him, and turned running head on with Fred.
"Oh, Sorry Fred!" Katie smiled.
"Its ok!" Fred smiled before pulling Katie into a tight hug.
"Fred, I can't breath" She barely got out, and Fred let go of her and smiled down at her.
"Ok!" He patted her on the back and walked away as George walked up and wrapped his arms around her a bit softer.
"I'm going to miss you Katie.' He muttered.
"I'll miss you too George." She kissed him on the check before whispering "I like Emily, she's really nice."
"And I like Oliver, he's really Quidditch." He smiled and the two separated and Katie bounded up the stairs to find a rather depressed looking Ali.
"Ali!" Katie went and sat on her bed looking at her.
"Its not fair." She looked up at Katie. "You have Oliver, and Ang has Fred."
"Ali…" She had no idea what to say to her. "I don't know what to tell you, but I know of a few guys who would love to date you."
"Yeah like who would want me?" Ali sighed.
"Davis, the Ravenclaw." Katie answered. "He's asked me about you at least 3 times in the past month."
"Oh." Ali smiled a little at her.
"Ali, what's on your mind?"
"A lot of things." And before Katie knew what was happening Ali had started telling her everything that had happened with Lee.
Finally around 2am Ang came in and looked rather shocked.
"What are you two doing up here?" She asked as she walked into the room, Emily following behind them.
"Just talking." Ali answered and smiled at Katie mouthing thank you.
"Yup just talking. I wanted to give Oliver a chance to sit with his year and say good bye." Katie said.
"Hey Emily." Ali added.
"Hi." Emily smiled and took a seat on Angelina's bed. Katie and Ali looked at each other with questioning looks as Emily and Ang started to talk.
After an hour Emily bid the girls good night and left. Ang went straight to sleep, and Katie and Ali talked a bit and than went to bed.
Getting up the last morning was really hard. No one wanted to leave. It was strange to think how much the students liked being at school. As Katie and Ali went down to the common room with their things they sighed at the same time, which made them laugh. The two did not feel like eating so they were the last to leave the tower. Looking around it was a strange feeling.
As they made their way down to the carriages they talked.
"So is it just me or is Ang bonding with Emily rather fast?" Ali asked as they climbed into a carriage.
"Yeah." Katie said. "What got into her, she was so short with her at first, and now they seem to be best mates."
"I don't know. But I agree with you."
"Maybe it's because she is dating George? I mean Ang and I got really close when I was with George."
"Maybe."
"Its annoying really." Katie sighed.
"Its odd really. I know that Ang and you bonded when you were George, but it still felt like the three of us, now it feels like it's two and two."
The girls talked about Ang and Emily until they got to the train. Dragging their things into the first open compartment they sat down. They continued to talk about everything until Katie changed the subject from Emily.
"I'm scared about living with the Wood's now that Oliver and I are dating."
"Katie."
"I know."
"I think they will be excited. You and Oliver are made for each other. Any—" She was cut off when Oliver came into the compartment with a boy in his year named Adam.
"Where is everyone?" Oliver asked taking a seat next to Katie. Adam sat next to Ali.
Ali and Katie shrugged.
"Oh Adam, this is Katie and Ali." Oliver smiled. "Girls this is Adam."
"Hi." Katie and Ali said at once which caused them to laugh.
"I know who they are Oliver, after all the Gryffindor chasers along with the Ravenclaw seeker are known to be the best looking girls in the school." Adam said with a rather large grin. This caused Katie and Ali to turn bright red.
"Thanks Adam." Katie managed to get out, but just barely.
"Anytime!" He smiled and turned to Ali engaging her into conversation.
"Have you seen the rest of the team?" Katie asked Oliver as she watched Ali and Adam talk.
"Um…" He paused. "Yea. Fred and George are with Emily and Ang."
"Figured." She smiled looking at Wood. "No worries, we all know things like this can happen."
"She's right Wood. I've been waiting for Ang to branch off." Ali said looking over at them, Adam looked a bit confused, until Ali placed a hand on his shoulder and started to explain everything to him.
"How is it that we have never really talked to Adam before?" Katie asked Oliver as her wrapped an arm around her.
"I don't know, he's by far one of the better guys, and he has been dieing to meet Ali." Oliver grinned.
"Well he is cuter than Lee." Katie whispered and smiled. She laughed at Woods face, so she kissed him before whispering. "But not as cute as you."
After a bit the four started to talk about Quidditch, it was amazing how much Adam knew. He was big fan, and excited for someone other than Oliver to talk too about it all. As they reached King's Cross they slowed down. Adam had promised Ali that he would right, and they hugged, Adam then disappeared from the compartment leaving Ali, Katie and Oliver.
"I'm going to get all this stuff ready to go." Oliver smiled as he levitated all three trunks, and headed out of the compartment as the train stopped.
"He is cute!" Katie said after Oliver had left.
"I know, I think I might be able to like him." Ali said with a big grin on her face. "Tell Wood thanks."
"Of course." Katie smiled. "I'm really going to miss you Ali. I'm sorry I did not talk to you as much this year."
"No worries I was with Lee most the time, and anyways I think that we should get going."
The girls got up and walked out onto the platform, Oliver had already dropped Alicia's trunk with her parents, and was standing with his parents talking. Katie hugged Ali for a full minute before saying goodbye. It was odd that they never even saw Ang and the twins. Katie walked up to Mr. and Mrs. Wood who hugged her tightly.
"Katie, its wonderful too see you!" Mrs. Wood was smiling silly at both her son and Katie. "And I can't tell you how excited I am that you two are together." She than wrapped her arms around Katie and nearly started crying. It was by far the last thing that Katie had expected.
After a few minutes the family headed off too go home.
"Actually if you would not mind. Can Oliver and I go to the little café around the corner and meet you at home?" Katie asked Mr. and Mrs. Wood.
"Of course, we'll take your things and meet you at home." Mr. Wood answered and smiled at the two. Katie grabbed Oliver's hand and led him to the little coffee shop where she had been a Christmas.
"Katie what is this about?" He asked her.
"I've got to tell this guy the rest of the story." She said as she opened the door. Again no one was in there and the same man was sitting behind the counter looking half asleep. When he saw Katie walk in he grinned.
"This must be Oliver. I knew you would end up with him." He smiled and waved his wind as tea appeared on one of the tables. "Please tell me all about it."
Katie and Oliver sat down and told him the whole story.
Well there you have it… Katie's 4th year… Thoughts? And if someone says they want me to post Katie's 5th year let me know! (I have planned out until she is about 22)!
