AN: Sorry it took me a while to update. I have been kind of busy with friends and I know what I want to do I just don't know how to word it.



Elle-poohbear: Thanks for your review! I hope you enjoy this chapter!

VoicezWithin: I am glad that my story 'rocks your socks off'...lol. I am happy that you like it. Oliver and Katie are like one of my favorite couples. I love Katie. She reminds me of me. Except I am still looking for that special guy.

IHopeForAnarchy: Interesting name...you kind of remind me of some friends of mine. I am dying for Katie and Oliver to get together too...but it's not going to be easy, as all relationships aren't. I am pleased that you could read it alright. I just thought that the format looked like crap. I can live with it though.

Crazayladay: Thanks. I know...I wanted to but I thought why not have him think it's just a stupid crush and just ignore it...I am kind of impatient. Like to get right to the point...but it does make it more interesting when the whole plot is given...that is why I have other things in mind.

Cxigner: Thank you! Yeah, I am going to have Marcus some time soon in here. Probably the next chapter...I really don't know, because I can't make up my mind on what I want him to do. I have all these ideas and I don't know which one I want to write more.

xxGREENBAYxx: I forgot to say this last time, but Greenbay Packers are my favorite NFL team too. They are awesome...they had a pretty good game last season...hopefully this season will be even better. I really don't watch the games much, because I think I am jinxed. Well, anyway...yeah...but I have a plan with Katie. I am not exactly sure because my head is jumbled up right now with ideas and I can't pick one.

Chapter 6: Broom Ride

Alicia, Angelina, and Katie were walking along where all the carriages were trying to find an empty one. They were all making fun of Katie about when she and Oliver were hugging each other. Ange and Lish were making kissing noises and then Katie finally smacked both of them upside the head. "Shut up you two!! Just cut it out now!!" Katie said agitated by their antics.

"Blimey!! Angelina! You guys, come here. We saved a spot in here for you." Fred called out to them.

They started to make their way the boys when Katie tripped and fell. She got up as quickly as she went down, and dusted her robes off. "Of course that happens to me and not Angelina and Alicia...and of course what would be better than Oliver Wood witnessing my clumsiness," Katie mumbled to herself.

"Are you okay?" Alicia asked with a concerned look. The twins were laughing at this of course. Katie ignored them and just nodded her head. 'I am going to kill those two with my bare hands,' Katie thought as she continued to hear the twins laugh.

Alicia went inside the carriage, then Ange, and last Katie came in. The only seat left for her to sit in was beside Oliver. She looked at Angelina and Alicia and glared at them knowing that they did that on purpose. Ange and Lish just sat there looking innocent. Katie rolled her eyes and plopped down beside him.

"Are you sure you're okay Kates?" Oliver asked in a hushed voice.

She answered with the simplest answer, "yes."

The carriage started to move forward, and they were all talking amongst themselves. Katie hardly said anything at all... she still wasn't over her embarrassment and the fact that Angelina and Alicia were making fun of her about Oliver.

When they reached Hogwarts, Katie was happy because she wouldn't be cooped up really close to Oliver. They all got out and Katie was the last. She looked up at the castle still amazed at how big it was. Fred, George, and Oliver were talking about quidditch and what was going to happen this year.

"Flint's gone right?" George asked with hopefulness.

"Well, he is supposed to be..." Oliver answered George. Everyone started to go through the entrance doors of the school and headed to the Great Hall to see the first years get sorted into their houses, eat, and hear the routine announcements Dumbledore makes every year.

Katie remained quiet throughout the sorting, the announcements, and even when they started the feast. It was quite strange that she wasn't talking. Her friends had noticed, but didn't say anything. They just talked to each other, every now and then include Katie, but she would just shake her head 'no', or nod her head 'yes.'

Everyone finished and left the Great Hall to their common room. Katie was still spaced out as if she were a zombie. She was actually thinking really hard about her and Oliver. Like what it would be like to kiss him, and things like that. Katie's thoughts eventually landed on the fact that this was Oliver's 7th year there and his last. It was going to be his last year at Hogwarts. She didn't like the idea of Oliver leaving.

They reached the portrait of the Fat Lady, the secret opening of the Gryffindor common room. "Does anyone have the password?" George asked.

Lucky for them Percy showed up and said, "The password for now is 'Fortuna Major'." "Thanks Perce, how was your summer?" Oliver asked.

"Oh, it was..." was all that came out of Percy's mouth before Fred and George intervened, "Really Wood, you should know better," Fred said. "Yeah, you know not to ask Percy questions like that...he will ramble on and on..." George stated. "...about pointless rubbish that you will just have to block out and nod your head like you're listening." Fred finished George's sentence.

Percy just puffed and straightened up in that haughty way he does and stomped down the stairs.

"Yes, we got rid of him. Need I remind you Oliver to never talk to him like he is a 'normal' person??" George questioned.

Oliver just smiled and laughed while saying 'Fortuna Major' to the portrait. They entered into the common room that looked exactly how they left it last year. It was a comfy and cozy, kind of like a coffee house. Angelina went over and plopped right down in the oversized comfy chair. Katie followed and jumped right on her disrupting her relaxing time.

"Ooof! Bloody! Katie, would you mind getting off of me??!" Angelina exclaimed. Katie just laughed and didn't budge. Angelina tried to shove her off, but didn't succeed. She tried once more only lifting her more on top of her. "Would you guys stop standing around laughing, and start getting her off of me??! I need air guys! I am not kidding!" Angelina struggled to say.

Fred and Alicia decided to calm down and help her out. They each grabbed an arm and pulled her off. "Thank you..."Ange said while trying to get her breath back. Katie was laughing and lied down on the couch next to the chair.

"Okay, first off you were all quiet like you were mad or something during the start-of-term feast, and then you act like everything is all fine. Are you alright?" Angelina asked Katie.

"Oh...well, I was thinking hard during dinner. I just kind of zoned out, and now I have this hyper energy...sorry Ange," Katie told her. Katie put her hands behind her head and looked up at the ceiling, "You know I kind of wanna have a go on my broom. Does anyone want to come with?"

Everyone looked at each other and then looked at her. "It will be curfew soon....I am not going. I am actually pretty tired," Alicia said. "Yeah, same here. Sorry Kates," Angelina said with an apologetic look.

Katie sat up and looked at the boys questioningly, "What about you? I don't wanna go all by myself. Come on, please?"

George and Fred glanced at each other, "Sorry, we were going to plan for our next prank on the Slytherins."

She looked at Oliver pleadingly, "Oliver?? Please...come on...it will be fun. It's something you love to do. Please, please, please???" Katie was jumping up and down really wanting to go as if she were a little kid again.

Oliver just looked at her and rolled his eyes. Sighing he said, "Okay...on one condition. We work on your new chaser maneuvers for a little bit, and then we go on a broom ride around Hogwarts. Deal?" He stuck his hand out for her to shake. She looked at it and then back up at his face and smiled, taking his hand shaking it, "Deal!"

Katie ran up the girls stairs to the 6th year girls dorms, opened the door and ran to get her Cleansweep 11. She changed into some red soccer shorts and a plain white t-shirt. Trying to hurry she tried to find a ponytail holder through her trunk, rummaging through she found one and slid it onto her wrist and combed her hair up in a ponytail. She pulled the holder off of her wrist with her teeth while holding her hair with her other hand. Quickly she wrapped the ponytail holder twice around into a cute and messy bun.

Oliver was already out on the pitch by the time she got there. "What took you so long?" Oliver joked with her. Katie was walking over to him and just gave him a sarcastic look. "So are we going to start, Oh Captain?" Katie said sarcastically.

Oliver smirked, putting a leg over his broom, "Yes, we are milady. You are just going to have to be patient. Really I didn't want to work on new quidditch moves. I just thought that, that would maybe get the twins off my back. If you want we could sharpen our skills together...it really doesn't matter."

"Get the twins off your back? About what?"

"Umm...well, they have this funny impression that I have a crush on you," Oliver said coolly. 'Just keep your cool Oliver...its not like you really like her like that. You just haven't had a girlfriend in a while...yeah that's it.'

Katie looked shocked about what he said. "Oh, really? That's a funny idea. We have only just became friends again," she said with fake laughter. He didn't notice though.

"Yeah, so anyway what do you wanna do?" he asked.

"Ummm...I am not sure. Lets just ride on our brooms a while...I don't want us getting caught on the quidditch pitch," she answered. Katie mounted her broom and kicked the ground. Oliver did the same and they rode around Hogwarts Grounds talking and laughing in the night sky.

AN: Its short I know...don't kill me. I am really honestly sorry...I just kind of did this chapter without really planning it. I hope you think it's good.
