Just borrowing the world of JKR
Chapter 7.
The time seemed to pass extremely slowly. She had written a few letters to Oliver and still never got a single one back. Gavin never wrote her back, neither did her parents. The only person who wrote her back was Mrs. Wood.
Katie's birthday passed without a single person even saying happy birthday. She did get something from Mr. and Mrs. Wood but nothing from Oliver. She was not sure what she expected, she never really talked about her birthday, but she would have liked something from her parents.
About a week after her birthday she was sitting with Sean in the common room laughing and talking. It was strange how she hung out with Sean more than anyone else in the place, she was starting to feel hurt that Oliver never wrote her. It was painful to think that she had to go back to that house. She also felt like the only person who could care less that the students from the other schools were coming soon. She was the only person who did not actually read the flyer. Sean had to tell her about it.
"Dinner?" Sean asked her.
"Yea." Katie smiled as they headed down to the Great Hall she saw Ang, Emily, Fred and George talking. "Hey."
"Hey Katie." Emily said rather shortly.
"Hey." George smiled but the look Emily gave him caused him too look away.
"See you Katie." Ang said, and Fred nodded.
"Oh. Ok." Katie sighed and looked over to Sean,
"That was odd."
"It was."
"KATIE" Ali screamed from where she and Adam were from the table. Katie walked over and sat next her. "Were they mean to you too?"
"Yea they were." Sean answered for her.
"I don't know what it was about. Adam and I were walking by, and I wanted to say hello—"
"And they treated like an enemy almost?" Katie asked her friend.
"Yea." Ali looked really hurt.
"I guess friendships just change." Katie said looking over to Ali. "Um boys. I think Ali and I are going to go."
"Yea." Ali side picking up a napkin and started to fill it, as did Katie.
"Alright." Sean and Adam said looking at them a bit worried.
Katie took Ali's food and Ali got two glasses of pumpkin Juice. The two walked out of the Great Hall not talking. The twins and their girls glared at them, which caused Katie and Ali to shake their head.
Walking into their room they sat on Katie's bed.
"I don't know what's gotten into them." Ali stated looking much more hurt than Katie did.
"Neither do I." She sighed. "Have you even talked to them in a while?"
"Not really I mean they stopped sitting with me in classes a few days ago." Ali took a bite of bread.
"I don't know." Katie sighed. Just than an Owl came through her window with a rather large letter attached to it. Taking it off she knew whom it was from.
"Oliver?" Ali looked a bit nervous.
"Yea." She looked up to her friend and took a deep breath before opening it.
Kates,
I'm sorry. I don't know what else I can say. I have been really busy with the team, and I guess I just figured you were never much of a letter person. I guess that's a really bad reason not to write you. I just don't know how to tell you this.
I ran into Gavin and Sam the other day, they were with Becca, and we kind of hit it off. We are not really dating, because you and I are on a break, and I love you Katie I do, but, I guess I just want to give her another chance.
Gavin is really happy married to Sam, and he said he has thought about writing you. We're sorry we missed your birthday, but you never cared much about them anyways.
I'm sorry to hear that Quidditch is off this year, happy I'm not there.
Love you,
Oliver.
Attached to the letter were a few article clippings, and a photo of Oliver and Katie that was taken over the summer. Katie felt like she was going to start crying but she was too mad to cry. She handed to letter to Ali whose mouth fell open as she read it.
"Katie." She looked up at her. "I don't know what to say."
"Neither do I." She looked down at the letter for a moment and than reached over to an old birthday card he had gotten her. When she looked at the writing she nearly screamed. "THAT… THAT… AHH"
"What is it?" Ali asked after jumping.
"Becca."
"What do you mean?"
Katie grabbed her flow powder and stormed down to the common room. She through a bit of powder in it and called Oliver at his new flat.
"OLIVER" She yelled.
"Katie?" She saw Oliver walked over to the fire. "What are you doing?"
"Wondering the same thing about you." She glared in the direction of Gavin, Sam, and Becca.
"Oh." He smiled and leaned a bit closer. "I was trying to get them to write you a letter."
"Why have you not written me Ol?" She held her tears in.
"What do you mean?"
"Exactly what I said."
"I have written you."
"I've gotten nothing form you but this." She thrust the letter through the fire. Oliver read it over and looked extremely hurt, and angry.
"Katie—"
"What?"
"I didn't write this."
"Ollie what's going on?"
"Nothing is going on you little brat." Becca came over and wrapped her arms around Oliver. "He is mine now."
"Get out Becca." He said calmly. "You too Gavin and Sam."
"Oh but baby." Becca started.
"OUT." With that they left, Becca looked annoyed, Gavin glanced at his sister and shook his head, Sam never looked over. "Katie"
"Its ok." She said. "I have to go." With that she pulled back and walked up to her room. Ali was still sitting on Katie's bed looking rather worried.
"Are you ok?"
"Yea." She sighed. "So what are we going to do about the twins?"
"I don't know." Ali sighed, she knew better then to try and talk about what had just happened between Katie and Oliver.
After trying to figure something out they gave up and started to work on their homework.
