A.N. – well hello there I am back from Band Camp. I absolutely had a blast. Next year when I am a senior is going to be very sad. We didn't get any new music where as the band has drill for up to 3 done we only have music for 1. w/e not something that I am going to let get to me. This band camp was semi-drama free. I got back Saturday and was basically catching up on everything. Then Sunday I went to a NASCAR race. No offence to anyone but I have never seen so many drunks/ rednecks at one place. If you feel I am forgetting this story email me and yell at me … there is nothing like getting mail begging you to update … it warms the soul. This story is AU! You have been warned so don't kill me. I neither own nor created Harry potter or charters with in the books, they belong to the lovely J.K. Rowling the only thing I own is the figments of my imagination.
Okay With out further impediment, delays and random babbling I give you… Just believing by: HoviziChapter 5
Love isn't who you see yourself with. It's who you can't see yourself without.

"Oliver… I—" she didn't know what to say. "I have to go." With that, she ran off towards the common room. Leaving Oliver stand there, dumbstruck.

Oh shit what did I do? Oliver thought to himself, what the hell was I thinking? Oliver was so deep In thought he didn't notice Fred and George come up to him. He kept walking towards the library. He had reached the door when Fred tapped him on the shoulder
"Oliver?" he asked
"What?" Oliver responded
"Well we have been trying to get your attention for the past 5 minutes" George said
"Well I just need time to think guys" Oliver said in a sad voice
"OLIVER what happened?" both the twins asked.
"Nothing, I don't want to talk about it" Oliver said rather hasty at them both.
"Oliver, come on," George pleaded with him,
"No, will you guys just drop it" Oliver snapped at them.

Katie ran back to the common room. As soon as she entered she instantly regretted it. Angelina and Alicia pounced her with questions.
"What happened?" Alicia asked unsure if she was about to cry or what.
"h- - h ummm- he…" Katie stuttered
"He? Marcus?" Angelina asked.
"N-no" Katie said
"Oliver?" Alicia asked Katie hoping that it was a good thing that happened between them.
"Yeah" Katie answered.
"Well what did he do?" Angelina asked.
"He um- we- um m …kissed"Katie said making the last word almost barely heard.
"Katie you what?" Angelina and Alicia asked at the same time.
"We kissed" she said a bit more confidence.
"Katie" Alicia shouted causing Katie to blush severely.
"Ummm yeah? " Katie managed so say with the embarrassment that was wiping over her face.
"What are you doing here then?" Alicia asked
"I don't know, I panicked" Katie explained
"Panicked?" Angelina questioned.
"Yeah, I mean it was amazing and I have wanted it but I had no idea what to do I just…" Katie trailed off
"Panicked… "Alicia finished for her.
"Yeah" Katie agreed with her.
"Well why? I mean it's Oliver" Angelina offered.
"Exactly it's Oliver." Katie said.
"Well he probably thinks he did something wrong" Alicia started.
"No he didn't" Katie finished her statement.
"Then go find him that he did nothing wrong, knowing Oliver he has probably locked himself in room or something hating him self wondering where he went wrong" Angelina said as Katie nodded because they knew that was the truth.
"Okay I'll go" Katie said after a moment of silence.
"Good" Alicia said pushing her out the door.
Katie took her time as she walked to the library. She knew she could find him there, his favorite place.
Sure enough there he was at his favorite table. Sitting there looking as though he was reading a book but to a few select you could tell he wasn't. Katie was one of those; she could tell something was on his mind. She sat down next to him. Neither of them said a word for a few minuets.
"Oliver - … I'm- …………sorry" Katie managed to choke out.
"Katie don't be you didn't do anything wrong it was my entire fault." Oliver said quietly, putting the book down.
"No, Oliver listen, you didn't do anything wrong, I ran off It was my fault" Katie said on the brink of tears.
"Katie, please don't cry" Oliver said embracing her in a hug.
"I just don't want to screw this up Oliver, I really don't want to screw everything up and have you never talk to me again." Katie said sobbing into Oliver's shoulders.
"Katie we have been best friends for seven years now. Nothing will change that." Oliver said whispering into her ear. This move made shivers go up Katie's back, this wasn't the first time she had been crying to Oliver but this was the first for a reason involving him.
"I am just scared Oliver, we are graduating things are going to change." Katie said trying to sniffle the tears away.
"Katie, I am not saying things won't change, because they will. But nothing with change our friendship or what we make out of it." Oliver said trying to calm Katie down." Katie look at me, I want us to stay friends or what ever you want to call us, I don't want to let us graduating and going out into the world change that."
"Oliver, I just don't know." Katie said in a shaky tone, looking down towards the ground. She had become infatuated with the tile that was on the floor, counting the specks in the granite. Katie was afraid of what was to happen. She knew that Oliver would never do anything to hurt her but she just wasn't sure about it. It looked almost too good to be true for her. Katie sunk deeper into thought not saying a word almost tuning out Oliver for the time being. She kept wondering if this was all real, or was it just a sick joke her mind was playing on her. Would she wake up the next morning finding out that it all wasn't real?
"Katie listen to me" he lifted her chin, "I love you and I will never left anything happen to you I promise you that no matter what happens."
"Olli do you mean it?" Katie asked some what surprised.
"Katie I meant every word of it." Oliver said as he whipped the remaining tears of Katie's cheeks
" Ol I love you too" Katie said hugging him tighter. They walked out of the library into the great hall.
"Katie before I forget, will you go out with me?" Oliver said staring into Katie's eyes, how a girl could say no to those chocolate eyes staring back at her was a mystery.
"Oh, Oliver of course." Katie said, kissing him.
"This must be my lucky day" Oliver said smiling
"Oh really want to share why" Katie said with an evil grin.
"Well, I have already finished my one class of the day, and of course I am walking with the beautiful Katie bell, who happens to be my girlfriend, I don't know how this day could get much better." Oliver said linking his hand in with Katie's.
The walked along the grounds for a bit talking about the upcoming year and of course quidditch. They were making their way back towards the common room when Professor McGonagall came towards them.
"Ms. Bell, would you please come with me there has been an incident involving your sister Natalie." Professor McGonagall. A million things ran thought Katie's mind what could have happened to Natalie it was only the first day.
"What?" Katie managed to say before fainting.
A/N - ooooo cliffhanger, I seem to be doing quite a bit of these )
But a little sneak preview for the next chapter,
Katie stood nervously outside the room, almost questing if he was really in there. The sadden cold wiped over her. But she knew she had to forget about that. She might not get another chance to see him again. Katie wanted to spend hours telling him everything that was going on in her mind, all about Natalie and her mother. She even wondered if he knew about Jonathon, but she didn't want to be the one to tell him that was too much of a burden. Katie sat on the bench outside of the room with her knees to her chest, slightly rocking back and forth waiting for the right time to come. The door opened and out came a straggly figure.
"Katie ..? "the person asked as if he didn't know it was really her. Katie remained speechless; everything she wanted to say wouldn't come out. She stood up to greet the person. Was this even him? She asked herself
"Katie, my angle is that really you" the person asked again, but Katie couldn't say a word she stood there horrified, she wasn't sure why but she couldn't bring herself to say a word or even move from the spot that she was standing.
Ah to my reviewers, with out you I would have no motivation to continue this story!
Maria Casey Wood: I don't think Katie is running away from her feelings anymore, or at least I hope she won't.
Lucy: thank you!
number1bandgeek: I am glad you liked the ending. Well, our pit is behind like every year. Just something we have to deal with. We have one guy who writes the pit and battery music. And it takes him a while. So I am not sure what is going on.
QHLuver: thanks! I am glad you like my story.
Evelas: thanks, but could you clarify the whole bad round information, I don't quite get what you mean. Or maybe I should know, but in any case I don't...
And of course as always props to my BETA Emelinee!
X's and O's because I love you so
