Chapter Fourteen

"Alright everyone," Oliver clapped his hands together as he looked over his team, "Professor McGonagall has come through for us, and found a seeker."

There was a moment of silence before uncertain applause broke out between the twins. "That's great, Wood," George began once he stopped clapping, "So what's the guy's name? Is it that Anthony character? Or maybe that Kristi girl--"

"No, no. It's none of them. It's actually a first year boy. We all know him, it's Harry Potter." Oliver looked around at his team, waiting for a reaction from at least one of them. It was a few long moments before any of them did react.

"Wait, wait, wait," Fred shook his head and grinned as if he were trying to get a joke straight. "You're trying to tell us, that Harry Potter, boy who lived, the first year with the scar on his head, is going to be on the team."

Oliver nodded, "Yeah."

"But first years never make the house team," George said, "Not that we don't want a seeker or anything, I was just saying, that--"

"Have you seen the boy fly?" Angelina asked. "Is any good? Do you really think he can play seek--"

Oliver held a single finger up, a silent motion that caused Angelina to stop speaking. "McGonagall picked Potter out. She saw him flying after some sort of really small ball or other. Anyway, I'm gonna meet with him tomorrow, then we'll have a practice next Monday. That good for everybody?" Before anyone had the chance to answer, he clapped his hands together and grinned, "Great! See you all then."

There were small groans as Fred, George, Angelina and Alicia rose from their seats and slowly left the empty classroom Oliver had dragged them into. Katie lingered behind for reasons not even known to herself. Oliver had been preparing to leave, himself, when he noticed Katie still sat there. "You alright, Katie?"

Katie nodded mutely, looking down at the stone floor. Rather than leaving, Oliver pulled up a chair and sat infront of her, "Anything you want to talk about?"

Once again, the only answer he recieved from her was silent. This time she shook her head.

"Well if something is wrong, I'll do anything I can to help you out, you know that right?"

Katie shook her head and froze. She looked up at him and opened her mouth to speak, "I wasn't trying to be funny, I was just-- uh thinking about how dedicated you are to Quidditch. It seems like you're--"

"Obsessed," he finished silently with a nod."Yeah, a lot of people think that. Sometimes even I do." His mouth twisted slightly, before he looked up at her. For a split second their eyes met, but they never really locked. Oliver leaned back in his chair, "Now if you're sure that nothing's wrong, we should get out of here."

Katie watched him as he got up. What had just happened?

---------------------

"GRYFFINDOR WINS!!" Lee shouted, his voice booming over the cheering crowd. The first game of the season was against Slytherin, and would be the first official test for their new seeker, Harry Potter. The victory lasted all throughout the night, causing the Gryffindors to celebrate for as long as they possibly could.

Oliver got pats on his back from several of his year mates. He sat grinning and joking with them, talking about the Quidditch match and other things fifth years spoke about.

"Alright, one more round!" George challenged Alicia to yet another game of chess. She had beaten several times, and was slowly growing bored of whooping George's tail at everything she played him at.

Alicia shook her head and stood up to leave, "It's getting late George. I think I'm going to go to bed."

Grinning, George pointed at her, "You see! You fear my-- my--"

"Stupidity?" Fred supplied, picking up a chocolate frog and opening it.

"Yeah! My stupidity!" He quickly turned around and glared at Fred, "That's my frog, you git!" He quickly darted toward his twin and began to wrestle him for the frog.

Alicia looked at the two and shook her head, "I'll beat you first thing in the morning, George. I promise." With that, she headed up to the girls' dormitory where she would rejoin Angelina and Katie, who simply lounged on Angelina's bed and spoke silently with each other.

"Hey Alicia," Katie grinned as Alicia took a spot on Angelina's bed. "So, how crazy is the pary down there?"

Alicia shrugged, "I don't know. George wanted to play wizard's chess again. You know I can only play that game so many times, before--" she noticed that strange grins on the faces of her freinds, "What? What?"

Katie shook her head and looked at Angelina, "Diagnoses?"

"Crush," Angelina confirmed with a grin.

The blonde nodded her agreement, "Crush."

Alicia pushed each of them lightly, "Yeah right. Anyway, what were you guys talking about before I came up here?"

"Nothing of importance," Katie said, laying back on the bed, curling a strand of hair around her finger. She let out a small yawn, "I'm really tired. What are you guys doing tomorrow?"

"Are you joking," Angelina sprawled out as well, her head resting on the large fluffy pillows. "Tomorrow, we're going to Hogsmeade. You did have your parents sign the form, right?"

"I think I did," Katie's eyes squinted slightly, and her nose scrunched as she thought back to her summer vacation. Her mother had said something about a permission form to go somewhere on certain weekends. "I think so."

"I'm going to go to Honey Dukes,"Alicia declared. "I'm sure everything there will satisfy my sweet tooth." She grinned as she too collapsed onto Angelina's bed.

"Anything will satisfy your sweet tooth," Angelina said with a sly grin.

Alicia cocked her brow to one side, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Let's try not to start a fight before we go to bed ladies. I'm sure Angelina would prefer to sleep on a bed that wasn't blood soaked," Katie said with a grin. She felt the bed's weight shift slightly as Alicia jumped up and began to demand what know what Angelina was talking about. "You guys, come on. Just--" A pillow to the face cut Katie's sentence short. She laughed and searched for a pillow herself, "That's it!"

---------------------

"Don't even think about trying to sneak out if your name isn't on this little list, here. I'll know," Filch glared down at every student that passed. His glare became more livid as it landed on the Weasley Twins, "I always know."

Finally all the studnets were headed off to the nearest wizarding village to enjoy time away from the castle grounds. Katie, Alicia and Angelina was toward the rear of the large group. Katie stopped walking when someone's hand wrapped around her wrist. "I'll catch up with you guys later, yeah?" Alicia and Angelina nodded, and continued to walk with the rest of the crowd.

When Katie turned around, she discovered that the one holding her wrists ever so gently, "Hey Lee. Uh, you want something?"

"Yeah, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me at Hogsmeade today." He let her wrist go, his dark eyes boring into her bright blue ones. "If you don't," he went on, losing that bit of confidence he had, "I'll understand and all, I was just hoping you would want to hang out with me and--"

"Like a date?" Katie asked, frozen on the spot. He had broken eye contact with her, so she stared at his cheek. She bit her lower lip nervously, as she waited for his answer.

Lee was silent for a long moment, staring at his feet as he thought. Perhaps if he said as a date, she would be scared and run off, and that was something he didn't want. But then again, he wanted her to know how he felt, even if she didn't feel the same way. Determination and confidence built up somehwere within him and he nodded with a short grunt, "As a date, and I won't take no for an answer."

Once again, Lee had taken ahold of Katie's wrist, and began to drag her off, but he stopped immidiately when Katie spoke. "I wasn't going to say no," she said exasperated.

"You-you weren't?"

"No. I actually thought it would be nice," with her every word, her voice grew softer, and her face grew brighter. "Did you honestly think I was going to say no?"

Lee was baffled for a breif moment before he quickly changed his facial expression. He let her go and waved his hand and laughed out right, "No, of course not! I know you like I know that back of my hand!" His hand stopped infront of his face, and he glanced at the back of his hand, noticing a scar, "Hey, when that get there?"

"Oh, let's go," Katie grinned, shaking her head at him.

Once they arrived at Hogsmeade, they went to Three Broom Sticks. The only available seat was a fairly large booth, so they simply took it. As soon as they recieved their butterbeers and had taken a sip from them, they'd been spotted.

"Lee! Katie! We've been searching everywhere for you guys!" George called out from the entrance once he had spotted the two. He turned around and called to someone outside the little pub, "Oi! Fred! They're in here! Get the girls!" Beaming brightly, George pushed his way through the crowd until he reached the booth. He seated himself next to Katie, still grinning stupidly.

Katie turned a slight shade of red and looked down at the table. George began speak rapidly, "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you two would actually want to be alone so that you two could go out on a date or something." He began to laugh a bit before continuing, "But that can't be, because best friends never go out! That would just be wierd!"

The rest of the crew came trooping in, and they too made themselves comfortable and Katie and Lee's booth, all yapping away at once. It was george who made them fall silent, "I was just saying to these two how wierd it would have been if they were trying to go out. Like on a date, you know?"

Momentary silence, then they all began to laugh. Angelina rolled her eyes. "Best friends don't date. That's the rule for everything. Even Lee knows that."

Lee laughed weakly and sank further into his seat, trying to make himself invisible. Katie was steadily turning a bright red, but the group of friends didn't seem to notice the embaressed expressions on the two students' faces. After a while, Alicia noticed how awkward and silent the two were. Were they trying to go out on a date?

Alicia nudged George, who kicked Fred, who nudged Angelina, who was the last to stop laughing. Rather than being silent, Angelina piped up, "Are you guys trying to go out? On a date, I mean?"

When both nodded as if their heads' were weighed down with cauldrons, Angelina blinked. "Oh, well, uhm--" she got up and pulled Fred from next to Lee. "Sorry, didn't know." Her apology had been a mumbled one, as had Fred and George's. Alicia; however, went on to describe how cute it was. It took Angelina, Fred and George to drag the girl away.

Once the four vanished from the pub, Katie's face returned to its normal shade, and Lee sat back up. Small talk broke out between the two, and after a while, the incident was forgotten and they were laughing hysterically as they told each other about things that had happened throughout their lives.

Butterbeers finished, Lee and Katie decided to simply walk about and continue to talk to one another. They stopped when they reached a crowd of people surrounded around something outside of Zonko's Joke Shop. Shrugging, Lee suggested they go over to see what all the fuss was about, so they did.

Being a true gentleman, Lee allowed Katie to stand infront of him so she could have a better view, but whatever the store owner was advertising wasn't what caught Katie's eye. On the opposite side of her stood Oliver Wood. With a girl!!

Katie could feel her eyes narrow at the pair of them. Since when did he have permission to go off with some girl? Hufflepuff no less! Her lips thinned as she saw Oliver's hand snake around the girl's waist and pull her closer to him. She practically fumed with anger when the girl turned around and giggled at him.

ICK! He had a giggling brainless nobody hanging all over him! By now, Katie was thouroughly pissed.

Well, Mr. Oliver Wood, she thought viciously, Two can play at that game!

Katie looked back at Lee, who was inthrawled with the object the shop owner was presenting. She rolled her eyes and grabbed both his hands and forcefully placed them on her hips. HA! Take that Wood!

She smirked, satisfied with her work, then she looked back at the couple across from them. He was resting his head on her shoulder and whispering something to her! Oh come on! Katie bit her lip as she thought, not even realizing that Lee had quickly pulled his hands away from her. Once she did realize this, she grabbed his hands once more, and set them on her waist, keeping her hands on top of his.

With that done, she had to face her immidiate problem. Lee couldn't exactly lean down and rest his chin on her shoulder. They were the same height, and would have to get up on his tip toes to do so. She didn't want him to make him look like an idiot or anything. Katie bit her lip as she continued to think. Then she turned her head slightly so she could speak to him, "Whisper something in my ear."

"What?" Lee voice was higher pitched than usual. "Why?"

"Just do it, please?" Katie widend her eyes pleadingly, giving him the infamous puppy dog eyes. In the end, Lee had given in and he leaned forward slightly to whisper in her ear. Katie's eyes went back over to the opposite end of the circle. They were gone! She quickly turned her head, forgetting that she had instructed Lee to whisper in her ear.

Their heads banged togather, and they both quickly seperated, only to ram into the people next to them. The end result was a domino effect. Each person falling on to another, until almost everyone had completely fallen over. Once the fallen had risen to their feet, Lee and Katie had vanished, back into the safety of Three Broom Sticks.

"I'm really sorry Lee, I was just being really stupid," Katie apologized for the thousandth time. She smiled at him, but the smile was quickly erased when the smile wasn't returned.

Lee shook his head and refused to look at her, "I should have known you would never really be interested in me." Katie opened her mouth to argue, but Lee continued to speak, "I mean, hey, we're only thirteen, we have our entire lives ahead of us and stuff. I just thought you liked me the same way I liked you." He heaved a little sigh as well as a heavy heart.

He had seen where her glances thrown at. Katie lowered her head and looked away, "Lee--"

"You could have just said 'no,' Kaite. I would have understood." With that, Lee left to catch up with Fred and George, where ever they were.
