Chapter three: Oliver, Cedric… And oh… Me!

~ * ~

Faaaaame! I'm gonna live forever, I'm gonna learn how to flyyyyy! Hiiiiiiigh! Dude, don't you think that's the greatest Muggle song ever? I've been singing it a lot these days, it's driving everybody crazy… I don't know if it is the song that drives them crazy or my singing. Anyway, its weekend and that means… homework. Dull. Maybe I'm going to kick somebody's ass. It seems that this is the first year I'm calm! When I was in my first year I was the one they had to drag the Forest out, with my sidekicks Fred and George. But after detentions and punishments they threaded they would kick me out of school, so I became the nice little girl with a ponytail.

I was bowed over my Charms book. Normally you spend a Saturday afternoon on the Quidditch pitch but noooooo… Ollie decided we all stayed in so he could overlook his tactics. And I still didn't understand this stupid charm! Merlin, I had to go to the library to find some extra information about it. And I'm not asking extra lessons to Hermoine Granger! That stupid know-it-all.

So, I was on my way to the library. With my Charms and Potions books clenched under my arm. I kicked open the door of the library, causing that Madame Pince almost killed me with that look of hers. I threw my books on the nearest table (yes, I'm lazy) and began to search.

I pulled a book of the shelf and I dropped it immediately. What the… I looked even closer… Was that Oliver? I bent a little closer and yep… it was Oliver. With a girl sitting on his lap. And that girl is giggling… A great jolt of jealousy, anger and sadness overtook me. I know that he didn't love me but I did. Wow! That's the first time I'm admitting that.

I looked closer at the girl. Of course, blond, green eyes, perfect body, probably perfect name. I couldn't compare to her with my dark brown hair, electric blue eyes and my few pounds more. A tear escaped my eye. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I quickly turned around and saw Cedric standing behind me, with a stupid smile on his face that made him cute.

Does that sound logic? Ugh.

"What do you want, Cedric?" I sighed to him.

He looked deeper in my eyes and he noticed the tear.

"Are you crying, Katie? What's wrong?" He putted his arms around my shoulder and pulled me closer. I should push him away, kick him in the balls for touching me, but I think I need to be comforted. Cedric saw through the little hole I created and he, also, saw Oliver with that girl.

He snorted. "Is it because of him you cry?"

Duh…

"No, I'm crying because the last Charms book is gone and now I can't make my homework."

Am I that funny? Because Cedric almost choked in his laughter. Madame Pince gave us a warning and stalked off muttering something about the youth.

"Come on, Katie. Let's go outside." Cedric pulled my arm.

Clearly, Oliver and his girlfriend decided that it also was the perfect time to leave, because I and Cedric bumped into them. Cedric was still holding my arm, on a gentle way and I saw Oliver's eyes widening.

"Wood! What are you doing here?" Cedric asked in a way when you discuss about the weather.

"I am looking for books about Quidditch. For my tactics." He said very shortly, still staring at my arm with Cedric's hand on it.

I snorted. "Like you haven't read them all."

That was very… brutal. But he deserves it!

"Yes, I have read them all. But I wasn't sure about something and I came here to look it up."

And if he isn't telling the truth, he'll make something else up. Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm pissed.

The bitch, who was with Oliver, pulled his sleeve. Oh, so he was her little lap dog. I can't believe he let himself treat like this! There's always free will.

"Well, Katie and I were leaving. And you and your friend were probably on your way out, too. So, Oliver. I'll meet you on the pitch."

And he dragged me out. Okay, let's rephrase the meaning of the words 'free will'.

~ * ~

I had actually an excellent time with Cedric. He told me about his vacation and that his relationship with Cho was over. And the greatest shock of all: that he still loved me.

Hold on… Rewind… Still loved me? So he had liked me from the beginning! Well, it sure makes a girl feel better! Of course he wanted me to feel the same as him, but I wasn't sure. I had told him that and he understood. Well, that's new to me.

No, wait. It isn't. He was the first boy I ever kissed. In other words: he was my first crush. Anyway, he dropped me off at the door of the Gryffindor Common Room and kissed my cheek.

Well, now both Oliver and Cedric are confusing me! I quickly ran inside, searched for Angelina and Alicia and dragged them someplace where we couldn't be overheard.

"What's wrong, Kat?" Alicia asked me, her eyes full of curiosity.

And I told them the whole story. That I loved Oliver, and that I had seen him with some girl on his lap in the library. And the whole Cedric-thing. That he still loved me.

Angelina sighed in relief. "I knew it!"

"Knew what?" I asked. What the hell was she talking about? She couldn't have known that Oliver was seeing somebody! She would have told me sooner!

"I knew you were in love with Oliver! Every time you are around him, and that's a lot if I may add, you have this strange way of behaving and a sparkle in your eyes that even I have never seen before! And I know since you were 5 years old."

Well, you can't hide anything for Angelina. I felt my cheeks grow warm and I knew I was blushing.

Alicia placed her hand on my arm and whispered: "Don't worry, sweetie. We'll find out."

"Find out what?" Now they're making me curious.

"Well, if Oliver has a girlfriend! And if he hasn't, if he likes you back."

What the hell are they going to do? "No, no, no! I don't want you two to do that! I'll sort it out myself. I'm a big girl."

"Right, Kat. If I'm not mistaken, and please correct me if I'm wrong, it was me who brought you and Cedric 'together'. You were much too shy! I don't see you going to Oliver and ask him if he likes you."

Well, Angelina has a point.

"Were you girls talking about me?"

Oliver jumped over some first years and sat beside me.

"Uhm… well, yeah! We were discussing about the tactics you were probably going to teach us… next week… in Quidditch practice…"

Oliver raised his eyebrow. "And that's the first time you take any interests in the tactics I'm trying to teach you."

Alicia laughed nervously. "Well, there's a first time for everything, right?"

Now Oliver knows we weren't talking about tactics! Alicia is a terrible liar. You should see her now. All sweaty, red and nail-biting. Oliver smirked and got up again, his arm went 'accidentally' over my leg.

"Well, girls. I'm going to bed. Don't make it too late, because now you have shown your interests in my tactics you guys are going to help me tomorrow."

He walked towards the stairs that leaded to the boys' dormitory and I swear I could hear him laugh once he thought he was out of ear-shot.

"Well, he's a bloody bastard. But Katie, you sure have taste. Did you see his muscled back? And his arms!"

Yay! Chapter three is on, folks! Thanks to all my reviewers, you guys keep me going
