A/N: Ahahah! 1 Review! SCORE!!! Well, for this chapter I'm hoping to get more reviews. I'll be grateful for anything! Please? Hahah! Okay, on with Katie and Oliver and their crazy lives.
Disclaimer: Nothing has changed. I still don't own it.
Jackson left the store early. He said that he and his guy friends were going Girl Scouting. So of course, that left me in charge of closing the shop. Pictures of Oliver kept dancing in my head all night. I tried to get them out! Honest! But nope! Oh he's so lovely.
I tried to distract myself by organizing Jackson's mess. I put all the items in the correct places and I loaded the boxes in the back. Wow, the store definitely looked bigger without the mess. I decided to look around, since I worked there, I should at least know the inventory. Books, books, books. Look at all the Quidditch books. There were a lot, why didn't I notice that before? I scanned the rows and my eyes landed on one in particular: Puddlemere! This seasons team! I felt my arm reach out for it, and I couldn't stop it.
I flipped through the pages, of course looking for Oliver's profile, and there it was! I couldn't miss it because his face took up the whole page. I almost fainted; he was so gorgeous. I was snapped out of my trance when the bell clanged. I looked over and saw my roommate, Alicia, standing up against the wall by the door.
"Are you ready to go? It's getting late," she laughed.
"Uh, yeah," I replied, putting the book back but not without catching one last glimpse at Oliver. "Alicia, you'll never guess who came into the store today." I went over to the register and took out all the money. I put it into a little packet and put it into my backpack.
"Oh, um, Oliver Wood!" she answered.
"What?! How did you do that?!" I yelled, surprised.
"Are you serious? I'm right? That was just a guess!"
"Well you must be psychic, because he did come into the store today. You should have seen him! Oh man, he looked so, well, you get the point." I said, I forgot about the magazine. I picked it up and showed it to Alicia. "He gave me his address, see?"
She read the address and her eyes widened. She looked at me and murmured, "Oh my God, Katie! That's where rich people live!"
"I know! I'm almost afraid to go there. They're all so intimidating." We laughed and left the store. I used my wand to lock it and we walked down Diagon Alley.
"Well, when are you going to see him?" she asked as we passed Flourish and Blotts.
"I don't know, soon though. We decided we would get together sometime soon to catch up."
"And maybe more."
"Alicia! What goes on in that head of yours is beyond me," I giggled. We exited Diagon Alley, Alicia held out her wand, and the Knight Bus boomed out of nowhere, nearly knocking us over.
"Honestly," I growled to Stan as we got on, "Can't you control this bus?" All he did was shake his head and laugh. Alicia said our destination (which Stan knew by heart; we took this bus every day) and we sat on one of the beds. We discussed what Oliver and I should do when we got together.
"Maybe you guys could go to The Three Broomsticks?" she suggested.
"No, I was thinking maybe that Italian place that's down the street from our house."
"Oh yeah! That place is good." The bus boomed and rattled its way to our apartment. It only stopped once to pick up an old witch. We arrived at our apartment and we got off. I had to go back and pay Stan; I always forgot to pay him.
We worked our way up the stairs and Alicia chuckled, "Have you seen Angie's ring? I swear it's the size of one of Jupiter's moons."
She took out her key and unlocked the door. I entered the small apartment and threw my backpack to the floor. Something didn't look right about the room.
"Did you clean?" I asked.
"Oh, yeah, I got bored," she smiled, laughing softly.
I laughed with her and went into the kitchen. I opened all the cupboards looking for something to eat. Nothing. Another cupboard: nothing. "Alicia! There's nothing to eat!" I opened the refrigerator, and there was nothing but moldy cheese, an empty milk carton, and leathery fruit.
"Did you check everywhere?" she yelled from the other room.
"Yeah, I'm going to go to the store!" I yelled back.
"Are you kidding?" she snapped, stepping into the kitchen, dressed in her pajamas. "It's 11:00!"
"Yeah I know, but I'm hungry."
Alicia sighed. "Okay, whatever." She went into the living room and opened a book.
I apparated to Jonie's Market place: the wizarding super market! I walked over and got a cart. I walked up and down the aisles, packing junk food, healthy food, and whatever else I felt we needed, and I really felt we needed a whole box of Chocolate Frogs. I walked past the magazine rack and did a double take at one magazine. There, on the cover of Quidditch Weekly, was a picture of Oliver Wood.
"Oh my God!" I whispered to myself, "He's everywhere!"
"Yeah, he is isn't he?" a voice guffawed behind me. I looked back and saw Oliver looking at me, cart in hand.
"Oh my, you need to stop doing that." I laughed and so did he. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, I would think that this is a place to buy food and stuff, so I'm doing just that. What about you?"
"We had no food at my house."
"We?" He asked, eyebrow raised.
"Oh, Alicia and I, we're roommates." I said, walking to the check out. I placed all my items on the counter and the tall lady checked them and bagged them. She caught a look at Oliver, and her jaw literally dropped. I had to resist laughing.
"Roommates, eh?" he repeated, placing his items on the counter, the lady never took her eyes off of him for a second. I admit; I was starting to feel a bit possessive over it. I took my bags and paid the lady.
"Keep the change," I commanded. Oliver paid too, and we walked out of the store.
"So where do you live?" he asked me.
"Not too far. Just a couple of blocks that way." I said, pointing to my right. "Want to walk me home?" I asked him. Hoping with every inch of my soul he would say yes.
"Sure."
Yay! We walked, discussing what we did after Hogwarts. I didn't know he was a coach for a little Quidditch league. That's so cute! What did I do? I worked in a Quidditch shop. Whoo-hoo! We passed Mario's Eatery, and I said to Oliver, "Do you want to eat here? I mean when we get together? You know?"
"Yeah, sure, I like this place," he agreed.
We reached my apartment complex and I thanked, "Thanks for walking me."
He nodded and replied, "Sure. Come by my place tomorrow, how's five?"
"Yeah! Great! And we'll go to Mario's?" I suggested, very excited.
"Of course. Bye, Katie." He waved and I waved back.
"Bye, Oliver!"
I stood there waving for a good two minutes before Alicia leaned out of the window 4 floors above and yelled, "Katie! Get your ass up here!" I snapped out of my Oliver trance and headed up to my apartment.
Alicia was standing in the doorway, a grin plastered to her face. "What were you doing down there?" She asked. I was still flustered from my run in with Oliver.
"Uh, nothing. Just talking to a friend." Alicia looked at me slyly.
"A friend, huh? Did that friend happen to be...Oliver?"
"Maybe," I taunted, stepping into the living room and heading to the kitchen.
"So, what did you guys talk about?" she questioned, helping me put away the groceries.
"Nothing really. I was looking at a magazine with his face taking up the cover, and he just happened to be behind me."
"He's everywhere!"
"I know! That's what I said. So he walked me home and we talked about what we did after Hogwarts. He told me he coached a little Quidditch league. I think that's just adorable!" I said, staring into space.
"Katie, you want him bad."
"No, I don't!" Okay, that was a lie. I didn't want him; I needed him!
"The first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one." Said Alicia, putting the loaf of bread in a cupboard. "Here." She handed me a chocolate frog. It was then I realized I wasn't hungry. In the back of my mind, something told me that my hunger was taken care of. I was hungry for Oliver.
"Uh, no thanks. I'm not hungry any more," I informed. Alicia gave me a strange look.
"Okay, well, I'm going to bed. Goodnight, Katie."
"Night, Alicia."
That night, I dreamed that I had married Oliver and we lived in a huge house by the beach and we were living happily. A pelican was flying overhead and "caw"ing nicely. Then it made a strange buzzing sound. Buzzing? My alarm clock! No! Not in this so perfect dream! I woke up just as Alicia hit me with a pillow.
"Wake up! Today we shall declare 'Katie and Oliver' day!" she said happily, hitting me with the pillow again.
A/N: Okay, I'm ending the chapter there. I don't want to but there'll be more to come! You have no idea how ecstatic I am about this story. Hee hee, I was going over the whole thing in my head, going "...wow..."
I just downloaded the new MSN 6.0 and may I say it is the coolest thing EVER!!! AH!!! Hahahah! REVIEW! NOW!
Next Chappy- Katie and Oliver's "date." And then the secret about Oliver, sorry it wasn't in this chapter.
