Chapter 2
*Present day*
"Ollie . . . OLLIE . . . OLIVER WOOD PAY ATTENTION!"
"Huh wha'?" Oliver jumped up and looked around crazily, searching for something. "Kats, why aren't we in your room anymore?
"My room? Any more? Ollie, we've been in the Great Hall for the past two hours. You know. Graduation?" Katie explained sounding patient and exasperated at the same time. "I think you fell asleep. Not that I blame you. I mean I love Percy and all but he does tend to be a bit longwinded. Merlin, his Head Boy speech prattled on and on -"
"Katie! Oliver! What are you doing just sitting there? Why aren't you at the Reception?" both friends heads snapped up as their friend, and fellow year mate, Dylan strode towards them looking like he had a purpose. "Reps from some of the teams you tried out for are here, looking for you two!"
"WHAT!" They both jumped and ran, not noticing that they left Dylan standing in the Great Hall looking smug.
Mr. Wood and . . . Ah Ms. Bell. I've been looking for you both." Katie and Oliver's eyes widened as they took in the insignia on the stranger's robes. He was from Puddlemere United, the only team they both had tried out for together earlier that year. "As you can probably tell, I'm a representative from Puddlemere United. We'd like to have you both on our reserve team. You don't have to answer now; just make sure to owl us before we start summer training in two weeks."
"Th . . .th . . .th . . ." Ollie sputtered.
"What I think my friend is trying to say, very successfully I might add, is thank you so much for this opportunity."
"You're quite welcome Ms. Bell, as are you Mr. Wood. You two are the most promising recruits that I have ever had the privilege to see in action. Now Ms. Bell, I believe there's someone quite anxious to speak to you as well."
Katie turned around and, sure enough, there was a representative from the only other team she had tried out for, the Holyhead Harpies.
Her eyes widened as she saw the woman walk over towards her, "Katie Bell? I'm Natasha Reeves from the Holyhead Harpies. We'd like to have you on our team."
Chocolate. Two deep never ending bowls of chocolate. That was the first thing Katie saw when she opened her eyes. She was startled, and jumped, causing the bowls of chocolate, which were actually Oliver's eyes, to flood with relief and widen with panic in the span of about 3 seconds.
"Kate! Great Merlin you scared me. You're finally awake!"
Katie knew Oliver had been worried. He called her Kats to tease her but only she knew he only called her Kate if she was hurt/ sick/ dying/ in mortal peril/ or something to that effect.
"Ollie what happened?" Katie asked groggily.
"You passed out after you got an offer from the Harpies to play for them. I carried you to the Hospital Wing. Madame Pomfrey said you'd be alright but Merlin Katie, I was so worried something had happened to you. . ."
"As touched as I am Oliver really, I'm fine! I'm just a little dizzy. What did the lady from the Harpies say?"
"The same thing as the guy from Puddlemere only they want you to start for them."
"Merlin are you serious? That's great!"
"But you're going to play for the Puddlemere Reserves with me aren't you? I forgot to tell you I got a Graduation Present from my mum. When she heard the news about us getting on the Puddlemere Reserves she went out and bought an apartment for me. You have to stay with me Kats, or at least visit a lot. It's much too large for one person. But the best part is that it's close to Puddlemere, so we can even go to practice together and everything -"
"Ollie slow down! I don't know if I even want to play Quidditch. I just tried out to keep my options open -"
"Katheryn! There you are! I've been looking all over for you! Oh, Hello Oliver."
"Hello Mrs. Bell. How are you?"
"I'm just fine thanks. I just wanted to tell Katie the good news! Honey, your father got a promotion at work!"
"You mean the one he's been trying so hard to get for years? The one that means -"
"That's the one! We've already started packing the stuff you left at home -"
"Wait what? Packing? Who says I'm going anywhere?"
"Going? Going where? Kats what's going on?"
