Chapter 2
The next few weeks passed rather fast, and before she knew it, it was the night before she had to leave.
She had not seen Marcus sense that night, or heard from him. She was really worried, and Oliver could tell.
"Katie why are you so worried?" He asked rubbing her arms as she sat down on his lap.
"It's nothing important." She answered resting her head on his shoulder. It was strange she knew that she loved him, but something felt very different.
"Ok." He kissed her forehead; he had meet someone that he wanted to date but didn't know how to tell her.
"Oliver what is it?" She sighed. She knew him as well as he knew her.
"I've got to talk to you."
"Ollie we are talking." She said.
"I meet someone." He said looking her in the eyes.
"I figured."
"How did you know?" He muttered looking worried.
"Oliver I know you." She sighed. "Who is she?"
"Sara Waters." He answered looking nervously at her.
"The girl who wanted Flint and spent half of my third year treating me like rubbish to get him to notice her?" Katie blinked a few times.
"Um... Yea." He answered looking slightly ashamed.
"Your serious?" She tried to keep her temper down.
"Yes Katie I am. She has changed, she's nice now, and she just hated you because you get all the attention for my guys. You know you do." He spat.
"Fine Oliver." She got off his lap. "Had you stop with she had changed, I would have been fine with it."
"What?" He asked looking blankly at her.
"Oliver I'm not daft I know people can change. But you don't need to go so far as blaming me for why guys fall for me." She snapped.
"Katie." He sighed. "You don't get how hard it is for people like her."
"I don't?" She looked at him. "Has she lost her family? Perhaps she had her best friend turn on her too."
"Katie." He looked hurt. "I didn't mean it like that."
"The bloody hell you didn't." She glared at him.
"Katie you know I'll love you forever." He muttered. "I just want to see how things go with this girl."
"Oliver that's fine, but don't turn against me because she had issues with me in school." She said still with a glare.
"Is it fine Katie?" He asked. "You seemed fine with breaking my heart to date George, now that it's the other way your upset."
"Is that what this is about?" She asked shocked.
"Of course not." He shot at her. "I like her, and your just going to have to deal with it."
"Ok." She blinked a few times. "At least I was never so cruel about it." She turned and walked into her room. She ripped out a piece of parchment and a quill when Oliver barged into her room.
"Katie." His eyes were soft when he sat on her bed. "I'm sorry."
"Ollie its ok." She sighed. "I'm just scared to lose another person."
"You're not going to lose me." He said sitting down and hugging her. She knew that Cedric was missed by many, and with her brother, her family, and her never ending worry about Marcus things just were… Well were hard.
"I can't lose you." She said with a tear in her eye.
"Katie, no matter what you're never going to lose me." He answered.
"I know. But don't worry me ok?" She said. "As for Sara, I hope she doesn't trip you to many times."
"Katie." He laughed for a moment. "I told you she's changed. She doesn't want that prick Flint anymore."
"He's changed too." Katie whispered.
"What?"
"Never mind."
"Ok."
She stayed in his arms most of the night, but spent her time thinking about other people. She remembered her last night of summer last year, and blushed thinking about it. She packed with Oliver sitting on her bed. As she reached for the thousands of books that Alec and Troy had given her he laughed.
"Looks like you have loads to work on."
"I do." She smiled. "I'm bitter that Ang got Captain." She said honestly.
"Well it makes sense." He said honestly.
"What?" She snapped looking at her.
"Katie you would kill the team." He answered. "Your too good."
"Oliver." She glared at her.
"Katie you're a good Quidditch player. Amazing actually. Let Ang have the spot light."
She glared at him and ripped off her shirt and put on a nightshirt. Oliver watched her, eyes wide, and jaw slowly falling towards the ground.
"Ollie it's not like you haven't seen me in a sports bra before."
"Yea, but you." He gulped. "Looks amazing."
"Thanks." She gave him an odd look. "Oliver I've been training everyday for 7 plus hours, with maybe a day off once every two weeks."
"I know." He blinked. "I need to go to bed. Mum and Dad are out but send you the best. They are on a trip."
"I know they are Ollie." She gave him an odd look. "I planned the romantic trip remember?"
"Right." He sighed.
"Oliver stay." She sighed.
"I shouldn't." He said looking at her. She was in a long t-shirt and PJ pants.
"Yes you should." She smiled. "Nothing is going to happen. I wont let it."
"Ok."
They got into the bed and Katie curled up next to him. He wrapped an arm around her and they fell asleep nearly at once.
Waking up in his arms was what she knew she would miss. It wasn't even about much other than being held. She really wondered what had happened. The two had not dated this summer like they thought they would, they were both just to busy. And they didn't want to get together only to break up again for school. She remember the short conversation she had with him about it, but still she wondered why they didn't just give it a go.
She sighed and looked over at him with a sad smile before pushing him lightly to wake him up.
"Oliver." She whispered.
"What?" He muttered rather sleepy.
"It's time for me to go, and you to go to practice." She muttered.
"Ok." He sighed and sat up. Katie hugged him tightly before he left for practice. She sighed as she watched him step into the fire. She laughed when she turned to shower and get her things ready. She was annoyed with Marcus, she was worried about him, and she hated that fact.
Finally after she finished she looked at the time it was 5am. Which meant she barely had enough time to get anywhere.
She ran out of the house with her things, and caught the train to Victoria just in time. Muggle travel always entertained her. When she reached Victoria she thought it would be best to buy a muggle paper, a water, and a muggle candy bar called CHRUNCHIE.
"Katie?" She heard a voice calling from behind her.
She turned and smiled. "Flint what the bloody hell are you doing here?"
"Running into you."
"Well come on I need to catch the Victoria Line north before I miss the train." She said. "I'll get your ticket." She smiled. "Just hold all of this." She dumped her stuff on him and went to one of the ticket windows that had a small que.
"Here." She smiled. "You just have to put it in the slot and then it comes out, but don't lose it on the trip alright? You have to use it at the end."
Marcus gave her a funny look, clearly muggle travel was not exactly what he was used too, or planned on. He took her trunk, and let her just carry her broom. As they climbed into the tube there was only one seat left. Katie took it. At the next stop an older man got on who could barely walk, so she jumped up and gave it too him.
"You've got yourself a nice young lady sir." He said looking up at Marcus. "Don't let go of a catch like that."
Marcus actually blushed which caused Katie too laugh. "Mr. Flint I never thought you a man to blush."
He had a mix of a glare and a smile on his face.
"Sorry sir, he's not used to blushing." She said smiling at the man.
"Well, well." He grinned. "I wish you too make him blush every chance you can."
Katie laughed and took Marcus's hand. "I'll do my best."
Just then they pulled up to King's Cross. Katie smiled at the man and told Marcus to follow her. He was slightly shocked at how easily she found her way to the platform, and he was happy to be somewhere where he knew where he was. He wasn't sure how he felt about her leading him around.
Katie looked up at the clock and laughed. "We're early by an hour." She said with a small smile. "Come on we'll go to Starbucks."
"Starbucks?" He asked with a puzzled look.
"Yes Flint." She laughed. "Come on."
He followed her with a slight shrug, he looked very different when he was nervous, he didn't look exactly right, and it was almost adorable.
"Um an Iced Chia, and actually make that two. Vente please. Skinny as well." She smiled and paid. "Next time you pay for something." She said handing him his drink. She walked over to a table and sat down.
"Katie this is embarrassing." He said with a low growl.
"What?" She had actually never told anyone, not even Oliver that she often found her way to muggle places just to get away from everything, why she took Marcus here was beyond her, but she did.
"A muggle place? And then the tube. Everything Katie." He looked almost pleading.
"Ok." She gave him a weak smile. "I've been worried about you."
""Huh?" He gave her a puzzled look. He looked angry, and was wearing a scowl.
"Yea you heard me right Flint. I've been worried."
"You could have done something about that." He smirked.
"I have half the mind to throw my drink at you." She glared at him.
"I'm sorry." He muttered.
"What was that?"
"Damn it Katie I'm sorry, do you need to embarrassed me anymore?" He snarled. Which caused Katie to smile at him. "What the bloody hell is this so entertaining?" She held her hand over her mouth so not to giggle. His snarl started turned into a glare as well. "Bloody hell what is it?"
"You." She sighed.
She looked up into his eyes, and his features softened. He sighed and took a sip out of the Chia tea.
"Promise to write me?" She leaned across the table and whipped her finger on the side of his mouth, looking in his eyes the whole time. He had a bit of scruff.
"If I can." He answered grabbing her wrist.
"Marcus I can't have you breaking my wrist for a second time." She smiled and got up and sat down on his lap. Everything about him caused her to go out of character.
He snorted a bit at the memory and let go of her wrist.
"Thank you." She messed a bit with his hair. "You look funny in robes here."
"Cheers." He snapped at her.
"I didn't say you looked bad." She shock her head. "I should get going."
"Hey Katie." He said as she got up and got her things, when she turned he was standing above her.
"Hm?" She asked, her eyes soft, her heart reasoning with her mind, well at least trying. When it came to Marcus Flint her heart and her mind where in a constant battle. It felt like the muggles World War's in her body.
"Be safe." He went to kiss her forehead when she pulled back.
"Marcus Flint I believe I am the one who should be worrying about you." She blushed. "And if you plan on kissing me, you might as well get it over with already. I'm not sure how kind I'll be at the holiday."
Taken back by her bluntness he smirked and placed a very passionate kiss on her. Katie responded with pleasure. A little too much pleasure, she was not suppose to feel this why with Marcus Flint. Her mind won out.
"I've got to go." She muttered as she pulled back. She still had time, but she needed out. She needed to think, and he was not going to let her do that with him there.
He watched as she frantically turned with her things and nearly ran over some poor kid. She looked back at him when she reached the door; he had one hand in his pocket and one hanging at his side. She sighed unable to stand it any longer. She dropped her things and ran up to him jumping into his arms and kissing him. All the muggle's around looked over and them, some smiled, some glared, and a few clapped.
"Ok I've got to go." She smiled and gave him a small peck.
She turned grabbed her things and jogged out of the place and too Platform 9 ¾.
"Katie!" It was Ali.
"Ali." She smiled and hugged her tightly.
"You look a mess." Ali said looking her friend up and down.
"Please don't ask." She said with a hint of smile.
"Ok." She smiled grabbing a brush from her bag and brushing Katie's hair. "Now no one else will ask you."
"I owe you one Ali." She smiled.
"Come on we have a compartment."
"Ok."
Katie followed her friend into the compartment, she was a bit shaken up by what had just happened but in no way was she going to show it.
