Katie&Oliver: Chapter 11

Later that same day was Hermione's birthday party. Katie and Oliver kept their distance because Katie had made no clear signs of wanting him back. She was still on the Quidditch team because she was their best Chaser. Angelina, Fred and George were constantly trying to get them back together. On Monday practise Oliver was unintentionally giving everyone a hard time.

"Wood! Seriously, stop taking out your problems on us!" Angelina yelled across the pitch.

"Training is over! Everyone in the changing room now!" Oliver shouted really frustrated. He shot a glare at everyone as they flew towards the ground. Everyone except Katie and Oliver went to the changing room.

"What's wrong?" Katie asked cluelessly.

"As if you don't know." Oliver snapped back. She looked hurt at his tone. "I'm sorry. I just miss you so much." He said sadly.

"I'm sorry Oliver. We need some time apart. You need to concentrate on your studies." Katie said fighting the tears that were threatening to fall.

"I'm doing worse without you. Professor McGonagall told me herself, we're both slipping behind." Oliver was pleading for her to take him back. "Katie, this may sound sudden but I need to tell you. I love you. A lot." He said really quickly, hoping she didn't just walk away. It started to pour with rain. They just stood there in the wet, staring eachother in the eyes. It then started to thunder and lightning.

"Don't do this this Oliver, please." Katie said and walked away. She got changed and was walking, slowly to the castle. Oliver was about twenty feet behind her. She was a figure up ahead of her, it was Miles Bletchley. He stoppe her from walking straight past him.

"What do you want Bletchley?" Katie said harshly. It was still pouring hard with rain.

"Have you ever wondered why I don't try pushing you off your broom when your near the hoops in Quidditch matches?" He said suddenly.

"No, funnily enough I focus on getting the quaffle past you, I look at where you aren't not at you." Katie said confused. He was a fifth year, the year above her.

"It's because I like you Katie. I thought i'd missed my chance when I heard about you and Wood." Miles said nodding behind her to Oliver walking towards them. She looked at him but then back to Miles.

"What was that you were saying about liking me?" Katie asked loudly enough for Oliver to hear.

"I said I thought i'd missed my chance with you when you got with Wood." Miles repeated with a confused look on his face. Wood walked over to them, fuming.

"Leave her alone Bletchley." He said really annoyed.

"Excuse me if I wanna talk to... Miles, then i will. You can't tell me to do." Katie said facing Oliver. He tried to pull her away. "Go away Wood!" She yelled. He looked hurt but not because she yelled at him, because she called him 'Wood' - his surname. Katie saw the hurt in his eyes and found it hard to look at him so she pulled Miles towards the castle with her.

"Do you wanna give me a chance then?" Miles asked as they stepped into the clock tower.

"Yeah sure." Katie said absent-mindedly. Miles hugged her tightly. "I'm not hanging around with your Slythein lot though and don't expect me to go easy on you in Quidditch." Katie added, Miles nodded.

"Don't expect me to hang around with your Gryffindor lot either." Miles said.

"Whatever." Katie said and they went their seperate ways, to their own common rooms. Angelina was anxious to ask questions because Katie and Oliver stayed behind. "Nothing happened. Sorry Angie." Katie replied to the question 'what happened' Angelina looked dissapointed. "I did see Miles Bletchley though." She said absent-mindedly. Angelina looked confused. "He said he likes me. We decided to have a go at a relationship." Angelina's mouth hit the floor.
