Katie&Oliver: Chapter 6

Alicia walked over to Katie's bed.

"Nothing. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. Long day, you know first day bak and all." Katie lied through her teeth. A big pause between each sentence.

"Oh ok. Well i'm glad you're ok. Remember we have a party to organise. Tenth of September. Seamus' thirteenth. Got to start planning. It has to be perfect for him, turning into a grumpy, spotty ole' teenager." Alicia reminded her two best friends.

"Of course how could we forget that. Then nine days later it's Hermione's thirteenth." Katie said with a giggle. Alicia nodded and went back downstairs.

"Well, i'll leave you to your, uh. 'Wooden' thoughts." Angelina said with a smirk. "Couldn't resist." She added.

"Oh ha ha." Katie scoffed. Angelina left and went to join the rest of the team in the common room. Katie was left in peace for the rest of the night. The next morning, the Gryffindor Quidditch team minus Harry, sat together at breakfast. Although, Harry sat pretty close. Oliver, Katie and Fred on one side of the table. Angelin, Alicia and George on the other.

"I've already devised some new Quidditch tactics." Oliver said happily. The quidditch team groaned.

"Wood, we still have two weeks until training starts." Alicia whined.

"I think we should work extra hard this season. Ol - Wood has done so much for us. Getting us trained and into the brilliant Quidditch players we are today. We owe it to him." Katie explained, as she gave Oliver a small smile. He lightly squeezed her leg. Under the table the no-one would notice. However, Angelina and Alicia did notice. The day flew past, at lunch Alicia began to notice how closer Oliver and Katie were, compared to the previous year. After classes the couple was sitting on either end of the sofa, Katie's legs were resting on Oliver's lap. Alicia was sitting on an armchair, she began to get a little bit jelous. She didn't understand why he preferred the younger, less pretty and less talented chaser compared to herself. She could feel the green-eyed monster creeping up her body ready to burst out. Oliver and Katie were laughing and joking. Alicia had never told anyone that she had a crush on the Gryffindor Quidditch captain. Not even Angelina knew how she felt about him. She felt like storming out of the common room, so naturally she did. Katie looked at Oliver, confused and vice versa.

"Should we go after her?" Katie asked feeling quite concerned.

"Na.. She probably needs some time to think. You know what you girls are like, very confusing." Oliver explained. "Plus everyone else is either outside, upstairs or in detention. We are alone in the common room." Oliver added and Katie got closer to him. She kissed him. "I don't think there's anyone in my dorm room."

"About we stay here, I don't think i want to keep our relationship a secret any more." Katie explained.

"If you want everyone to know, why don't we go for a 'hand-in-hand' walk?" Oliver suggested in the form of a question.

"Ok." Katie and smiled. They intertwined their hands and walked out of the portrait hole. They walked through the corridors and felt eyes on them from every angle. They got to the enterance courtyard and saw Alicia sitting on a stone bench. They walked over to her still hand in hand. Alicia looked at their faces then her eyes wnadered down to their hands. Anger filled her body.

Thanks to willshakespeare-immortalbard for the idea of Alicia being jelous. Never would have thought of it without you suggesting it :)
