The Life After

Chapter 3

"I'm going to the park" I said to Oliver as I grabbed my purse. "Why? You just got here." he complained. "Well you have practice and theres that little park across the street I want to check out." I said. " Well I want to spend time with you before I go to practice." He responded sticking his lower lip out at me. "You have your whole life to hang out with me. Unless you die at your Quidditch practice." I said. What the crap? If he dies? Your thinking negative. You dont wanna say that. I thought to myself. "Well Thank you very much. I dont think I will die but it is likley." he said putting his lower lip back in place then sticking it out again. "Well I dont want you to die, I just wanna go to the park." I said crossing my arms.

"Fine." he said crossing his arms too and turning around heading for the door.

"Fine" I said heading for the door, too.

He headed for the Puddlemere United pitch, which is to the right, while I headed for the park, which is to the left.When I got to the park, I saw my old friend Leanne. Though It's been 2 days since I have seen her I wanted to talk to her.

"Hi." I said walking to the bench she was at. I sat down and she waved. Her hair swayed in the wind and she smiled. "Find the perfect guy yet?" she said, her eyes staring at me. "No, but I live with Oliver." I said forming my own smile. Her smile grew wider. "How do you know he is not your perfect man?" she said her smile turning to a chuckle. I raised an eyebrow at her. Pfft. I wish. "Um...no. I just live with him." I said still thinking about her words. "Whatever you say..." she smiled. I was lost in thought, What if he is my perfect man? No, he doesn't love me and if we did go out he would probably leave me for some slut. I dont want my heart to get broken. Hey, wait a minute. I looked closer. I had seen a guy with sandy colored hair and blue eyes. Why I noticed this from afar, I have no clue. Is that? No it couldn't be. But It IS (AN:Yes I know what your thinking or maybe I dont...I will take A wild guess. You thinking 'WHO IS IT!!!!')! It's Seamus Finnigan(AN: ALL thanx to for helping me with it. Most people think his hair is dark brown but no...its sandy!:P O.K. Well, he does have brown hair in the movie but who cares!)! Wahoo! Someone else to talk to!

"Seamus!" I said, jumping off the bench and running to him. Me and him were never really close so we dont know much about each other but somtimes I needed someone else to talk to. "Hey, Seamus!" I yelled, still running to the spot where he was. Obviously, he didn't hear me the first time, because the second time he turned his head to see who it was. I stopped running and waved. He squinted and scrunched up his nose like he just sniffed in the smelliest smell in the world. I noticed that he was passing a Quaffle with Dean Thomas. Unfortanutely, to this event,he got hit in the head while staring at me. He passed out. Do Quaffles hurt that much? Yep.Sometimes. I thought. Stupid, run over to him! Your the whole point he is passd out. GOD! Why do the people always have to get hurt because of me! There was this one time when...just get over there! I snapped back to life and ran to Seamus. God! Dean must have one strong arm! Not unless Seamus is really weak and will pass out to anything that hits him...well not anything. "Merlin! What did you do!?" I yelled at Dean. Me and Dean have never met but I knew him from Ron and Seamus. "I didn't do anything! I just threw It!" he responded his eye wide open. I lifted Seamus's head onto my lap and looked at him. He had a cut on the side of his head. "Yea! Without looking!" I looked up at Dean and he was looking to his left. I looked to my right (His Left) and he was staring at a girl with long Jet-black hair and Aqua colored eyes. She had a nice tan and was really thin. I turned back to Dean who was still looking at the girl. I slapped him and he turned his head. "What was that for?" he yelled at me. I looked to my left (Dean's right) to find Leanne walking toward's us. "Well, your checking out a girl while we have a unconicus body and he is your best friend!"

"What's going on!?" Leanne had arrived.

"Oh, just a little injury." I said, between my teeth, then smiling a fake smile. I tried to hide his scar but It didn't work, I had blood seeping through my fingers. "Oh My GOD!" Leanne yelled, "What happened?" I had to explain what happened to him to her or she wouldn't let me stay over her house. Sure, I wanted to stay at her house to stay away from Oliver, but I could risk it. Why I wanted to avoid Ol's? Uhm...because I want to stay away from his perfectly good looks. I wanted to stay as far away as possible from that Scottish hottie. "God, Dean." I said. I shook my head and looked down at Seamus. "Let's bring him to my place." I whispered (Why had I whispered, I have no clue. I guess I just hurt me to see Seamus like that so I whispered). Dean (Only because I couldn't) picked him up and we walked across the street.

"He is hurt bad," I said to Dean as I fixed some coffee for all of them, "He will need to stay the night. Let me just get an ice pack." As I did so, I turned and walked into the living room and put the ice pack on his head. "He will probabley wake up in two hours." I said looking at Seamus. "How hard did you throw the Quaffle, Thomas?" He but his lower lip and lifted his eyes up to the ceiling. My guess is that he was thinking. "Now that I think about it, pretty hard. I guess that I just wanted to show off to that girl." he said looking back down at me. I rolled my eyes. "So your the reason why he is on my couch?" I said to him sitting down at the bright wood table, opposite of Dean."So your Katie Bell right?" he said while taking a sip of his coffee. I slapped my forhead. Duh! You don't know him! You-- "What am I wrong? 'Cause if I am then--."

"No! No, your not. I was just forgetting that we have never met. I just new your name because of Seamus and you took my place when I got poisened. Ron spoke about you, too." I said shaking my head. Dean smiled. Aww...look at his smile! It's so cute!(AN:Thats my point of veiw!) I smiled back and he winked. Huh? "I have to go meet Roger Davies. So I'll leave you two to your coffee" Leanne said, slowly getting up from her chair. What!? I know she Isn't leaving me here with Dean alone after he winked at me!? Wait a minute, whats he going to do? He knows nothing about me. God, please let nothing go farther than friendship! I walked over to the armchair next to the couch that Seamus was lying on. I looked at him. First up was his hair. His hair was silky sandy. I heard clinking noises from the kitchen which told me that Dean was putting his cup in the sink. He walked in and sat down infront of the TV. I went back to checking out Seamus. Wait. What? I'm not checking him out, I'm just observing him...okay well maybe I...OK! I'm checking him out! He has a cute muscular body. His bum is nice looking. Whoa! Going a little to low there. Oh, who cares! While I was thinking this Dean seamed to notice. "Like your veiw?" he said staring at me (AN: I going to go ahead and inform you that she is not going to go out with Seamus or Dean they just become closer friends.). I choked. "What do you mean?" I managed to choke up. "You know what I mean. I know what your staring at. It's the first thing all girls stare at when they see a cute boy. By the way, do you like Seamus?" he said, a smile forming on his face. I was enjoying this conversation until we came to that last part. "No..." I whispered. It was true because I had my eyes set on someone else. Oliver Wood. "Oh," he whispered back, his smile fading, "Well, the reason he walked behind Ron all the time was because he was afraid that he would do somthing stupid around you. He liked you from 'Hello'"

I just sat there wide-eyed. I couldn't believe it. Seamus likes me! Oh, my, god. A tear found a pathway down my cheek. Why, I just wanted to cry. All that time I ignored him and made fun of him. I had never noticed that he flirted with me. Maybe, this is what Oliver will feel like when he notices I flirt with him all the time. God, he is a friggin IDIOT not to notice it. I swear. I thought. Dean noticed the tear and spoke, "Well, I guess I should be leaving then." He grabbed his black leather motorcycle jacket and went back across the street. I looked out the window and down at the park to the left. I saw dean grab his Quaffle and put his motorcycle helmet on and plopped onto his motorcycle. I watched him motor away until he was no longer able to be seen. I turned around and looked at Seamus. At that same moment It started to rain. I quickly closed the window and went over to Seamus. I looked at him and smiled. He had turned over. Is he awake? Oh, no he is just asleep. I thought to myself. I sat down on my knees and stared at him. Next thing I know I see lighting flash after lightning flash. It was kinda annoying. Them thunder came.

FLASH.

BAM.

FLASH!

BAM BOOOOOM!

The last one was so close. It made me jump onto my feet. I looked back at Seamus.

"What is bloody hell is he doing here!?" I heard a startled, Scottish voice said from afar.

I turned around to find the one and only, Quidditch Nazi, Oliver Wood. He started to talk, "Katie, why is SEAMUS FINNIGAN in MY LIVING ROOM!" he yelled. I swear, I was on the verge of tears. One finally decided to take It's risks. I tried to stop it from falling, but I was to late. Oliver slammed the front door shut. Oddly, Seamus still was asleep. I ran to my room and put a charm on it so no one could enter it. Not even using 'Alohamora!'. Then it hit me. Why? Why was my old captain, and dearest roommate, home early? Maybe, he lied to me and went to find some slut. Oh, yeah. His coach probably cancelled practice since it was raining so hard. I waited until I heard the door slam shut of Oliver's bedroom door. I took the charm off and walked out of my room only to find an empty room. Oliver must of woken Seamus and told him to get out. I peeked through the window and sure enough found Seamus walking down the street in the wet rain. Not even bothering to put on my hoodie I ran to the door and opened it. I didn't bother to take the elevator because it was slower than the going down the stairs. Yes, the stairs take a long time because I am on the 40th floor. I ran outside in the freezing cold rain and ran after Seamus calling his name.

"Seamus!" I yelled at the top of my lungs for the 5th time and he noticed me.

His plaid shirt was sticking to his skin and so were his khakis pants. He turned around at the sight of me and then turned back around, and started walking again. "Seamus, no!" I ran faster. I came close to slipping, but I didn't care. I caught up to Seamus and grabbed his arm. He stopped. "What do you want!?" he snapped, giving me a stern look. "I dont know," I said, he started to turn but I pulled him back, "but I do know that I dont want you to leave. Please come back to my place. If Oliver comes around I will take care of him." as soon as I said this he rolled his eyes and grabbed my hand. I grabbed his other hand and gave him what he wished for years. I kissed him. On the mouth. It was a very long passionate kiss. We kissed for some time and stopped to see to little kids looking up at us. They ran away as soon as they saw that we had seen them. I smiled at him and pulled him back to my house.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Oh, my. I hope I haven't started somthing. I thought as I poured Seamus some hot chocolate. "Thanks." he said as he grabbed the cup. "Well, I guess I should be leaving since it stopped raining." he said. He took the plastic cup and left.

SLAM!

No, that wasn't the flat's front door. Definetly not. "WHAT WAS HE DOING HERE!" When I just thought I was able to let him go he came busting in. I just turned on the TV. "You tell me right now, Bell." I choked. Did he just use my last name? We used our last names only if we were mad and I mean REALLY mad at each other. I just took a sip of my cup. "I'm warning you, Bell. If you dont answer me I wont let you stay here for free. Then you wouldn't be able to afford your City house that you always wanted!" I dropped my cup. Did he just say 'City House' ? Um...no. I do not want a city house. That means he doesn't remember anthing about me! "Wow, these last few years have changed you, Wood." He stopped breathing. His eyes widened. "First, you become the nicest guy. Then, you pay no attention to me. Now, you know nothing about me. So why dont we just end the friendship we never had!" I yelled. I couldn't hold it in anymore. The tears decided to stream down my face. I dropped to my knees and started crying harder. I needed comfort. He woldn't give me comfort so who would. I felt arms crawl around my waist and pick me up. I turned around and Oliver, sorry at this moment I couldn't forgive him, I mean Wood was standing there. His arms were outstretched and were ready to hug. I ran to the window to the sound of tap, tap, tap. He put his arms down and frowned. I opened the window and let Lane in. I untied the letter and read it. "I'm invited to George's house." I said as I skimmed It again to see if It told me to invite Oliver. Unfortunately, It did. "Am I invited?" he said. "No." I said.

"Well, then read it aloud." he said.

"Alright. Dear..."

Dear Katie,

Me and George Invite you to stay with us for a week. We expect more fun than we had at Angelina's house. We need to have you at our new lake house (96 Wasp Drive) at 9:30 a.m. Monday!

Love,

Kelly Lane

"Who's Kelly?" he said at the end of the letter. "She's George's new girlfriend. She use to go to Hogwarts, she was in Ravenclaw." I said seperating the words. "No clue." he said going back to his room. I went to my room to pack because tomorrow was Monday. When I was done packing, I threw my trunk down on the ground and laid down on my bed. I thought, Hm..maybe I should read the letter the wright way and invite him? I mean I -- "How are you going to get to their house?" I said to myself not wanting to finish my thought. "Well, you could go by car, or Portkey." a voice said coming from the door "Heres an alarm, you'll need to get up early If your going. I can take you. You probably want to go by portkey and you don't know were any of the portkeys are so I could show you." he suggested. I blinked at him. He just stared and threw an alarm at me. I put the alarm on my nightstand and set it. "Fine." I said and reached for my duffle bag that I put some of my stuff in. I pulled out my laptop and sat up. . "I need to talk to you." he said. He walked in and shut the door. This time gently."What?" I said. "Well, your right." he said he sat down on the other end of the bed.

"About what?" I said.

"That I really dont know much about you anymore. Can we start over?" he said. I was shocked. That was one thing I never wanted him to say.

"Sure. Hi, I'm Katie Bell." I said smiling and holding my hand out.

He looked at the hand and shook it.

"I'm Oliver Wood, but I would like to say one thing." he said as we shook hands.

"Whats that?"

"I didn't mean that far back. I meant when you started living with me."

"Oh."

"Katie Bell, Will you go to the Three Broomsticks with me for Lunch next Tuesday?"

"I would love to, and Oliver Wood, would you go to that lake house with me?"

"I thought I wasn't invited."

"Oh, right. Let me read the letter the wright way."

"Dear Katie,

We were hoping that you and Oliver could come to our house for supper one night and maybe stay for a week. You will love the Lake house that we got. It's Beautiful. It has a pool, lake, tanning bed, and 2 beautiful bedrooms. Of course Me and George will share a bedroom and you and Oliver will share the other one."

"Wait! Whoa, we have to share a bedroom." he interupted, ponting at me and then himself. "Yes. Just let me read and you'll understand." I said turning my head and rolling my eyes so he couldn't see.

"Well, you dont have to share a bed. We will put two twin beds in there. Not unless you want to share a bed. We will have B-BQ and Angelina and Alica are invited they are not staying for a week but they are coming for the B-BQ. We have a 80'' TV and you will hopefully like it. We bought 12 acres and put in a Quidditch pitch. No one will have to get up early or anything but you can play Quidditch whenever you want. The lake is nice and warm over the summer so you can enjoy that. The pool is clear and comes with a hot tub. We expect fun and no fights.

Your Friend, Kelly

P.S. Address: 80 Floram Drive."

"You even lied about the address?" he said when I was done with the letter. "Yea. I just didn't want you to come and follow me." I said putting the letter in the purse. "Oh. Ok, well I am going." he said, lifting his head higher and looking at me up and down. " I am too but I am agreeing to the twin beds. Either that or your sleeping on the floor." I said. I shut my laptop and got up from the bed. "So we having dinner or what?" I said and walked out my room and into the kitchen. "I can't cook can you?" Oliver said. I looked in the freezer. "Merlin! You don't even have hamburger meat?" I said and turned my head to look at him. He was sitting on the couch. "Look in the very back" he said, propping his feet up and watching TV. I looked in the very back and there was no hamburger meat, but there was lobster. "Go take a shower and put on some nice clothes" I said to him. "Why?" he said, never taking his eyes off the TV. "Just do it." I said as I took a black table cloth. He got up and went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. "So, what are you planning?" I jumped to a familiar voice. George. "Nothing, If you and Kelly would to join us, that would be wonderful. How did you get here?" I said, putting a candel in the middle of the table. "Apparated. Kelly and I can't join you because we are going out on a private dinner tonight and I am going to go down on one knee." he said. I dropped the fork that was in my hand and ran over and hugged him. "I have to go take a shower and change so, bye." he waved his hand goodbye, and snapped his finger. I need to learn how to do that. I bent down and picked up the fork I dropped. I straighted up to find Oliver Wood. He was not wearing a tuxedo but a polo shirt and khaki capris with sandals on his feet. I set the table and went into the bathroom, only to find it dirtier than ever. "Oliver Alvin Wood! Can you at least put your clothes in the dirty laundrey basket. It's not that hard." I said (I took muggle studies so I know what abunch of this stuff is!). "Sorry." he said. I got in the shower. When I got out of the shower I put on some jeans from hollister and a purple shirt with a yellow undershirt. I thought I looked nice in this outfit so wanted him to wait until I was done getting ready. I put on some lip gloss and exited the bathroom. Oliver was sitting at the table fidgeting with his tablecloth.I stood in the hallway and walked to the counter. i made a plate of buttered lobster for each of us and sat down. I gave him his plate and started eating. We talked for a little bit and when supper was over we both went to bed because we had to leave early in the morning.
