Katie's POV

I was one of the first ones on the platform, as per usual. Looking around me, I didn't see anyone I recognised. It was mostly excitable first years, or bored seventh years who had apparated early so that they could get an apartment to themselves.

'Katie!'

Suddenly, I was attacked by two flashes of ginger hair, and was quickly crushed into what they like to call a 'Weasley Sandwich'.

'Fred! George!' I managed to choke out. 'You're crushing me!'

'Sorry Katie!' They both pulled back, but didn't look in the least bit sorry.

'Katie!' I turned around to see Alicia and Angelina sprinting towards me, and suffocating me in a second hug.

'What is with people now? Does no one know how to hug someone normally?' I scolded once they had released me, but I couldn't resist cracking a grin. 'I've missed you all so much!'

'Aww, group hug!' Fred yelled, before gathering me up in his arms, with George, Alicia and Angelina following his lead.

After a minute or two, an amused voice came from behind us. 'Shouldn't I be allowed in the team hug? I am the captain after all.'

We all broke apart to look at the one and only Oliver Wood, Quidditch Captain extraordinaire. Wow, I don't remember him being that tall. Or muscley. Or his accent being that hot…

Wait, what am I thinking? This is Quidditch-obsessed Wood we're talking about here. Hot, strong, sexy Oliver Wood…

'Katie? Katie! KATIE!'

'What?' I asked. I looked around stupidly while everyone laughed.

'I asked how your summer was.' Oliver replied with a smirk. A very hot smirk. A very hot, annoying smirk.

'Oh, yunno, Quidditch, sunbathing, Quidditch, shopping, Quidditch, hot guys, Quidditch…'

Everyone was laughing by this point.

'She's nearly as obsessed as you Oliver!'

'It's not possible to be as obsessed as Oliver. He would marry his broomstick if he could!'

'I resent that! I'm not obsessed, I'm just, emm… Passionate! Which reminds me! I've been working on some plays over the summer-'

He was cut off by loud groans, mostly from the twins.

'Come on Oliver! Term hasn't even started yet, and the season doesn't start for weeks! Just let us have the first week off.'

Oliver didn't look convinced. 'But this is my last year! I have to win the Quidditch cup, I have to!'

Oliver turned to me. 'You understand, don't you Katie?'

'Sorry Oliver, but I agree with Fred, I think we should have the first week off.' I looked up at him with my best puppy-dog face, my eyes wide and my lower lip trembling. 'Pretty please?'

I could see in his face that he was about to give in. 'Fine, but practice first thing on Saturday!'

'Yes! Thank you Oliver, you're the best!' I threw my arms around him, giving him a quick hug, and I couldn't help but giggle when I pulled away and noticed his cheeks had turned red.


Oliver's POV

Katie had certainly changed over the holidays. Her black hair was longer, her eyes seemed bigger and she had certainly, emm,developed in all the right places.

Not that I had been looking. Much.

I could have kicked myself for blushing, but Katie rarely hugs anyone. Well, she rarely hugs me anyway. I never knew what I was missing out on, until now.

'Come on Oliver; let's get a compartment before we have to share with first years.'

I didn't protest as Angelina pulled me along and shoved me in a compartment near the front of the train. We were shortly followed in by Katie, Fred, George, Alicia and Lee Jordan. I didn't really speak to Lee that much, so I didn't know him all that well, but he seemed like okay guy.

'So, Oliver, did Katie tell you about her summer romance?'

I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach, but ignored it. 'No, why? What happened?'

Angelina and Fred burst into laughter, and the rest of us all looked at Katie questioningly, who looked a little embarrassed.

'Well, it wasn't that serious, he's just this muggle that went to my primary school, and I've known him for years. We've been dating on and off for a while. Well, while we were on, I went to his house, and, well, I caught him kissing another girl.'

I looked at Fred sharply. 'I don't see what's so funny about that.'

'She hasn't told you what she said to him!' Fred replied, wiping the tears from his eyes.

Katie mumbled something inaudible.

'Sorry Katie, didn't quite catch that.' George said pleasantly.

'I, emm, shouted at him.'

'And said?'

'That he was an asshole, and he didn't know what he's missing.' We all laughed, and I felt instantly better about the fling. Merlin, that makes me sound bad.

'Oh, you haven't heard the best bit yet!' Angelina giggled.

I looked at her questioningly. Damn, I seem to be looking at her questioningly a lot today. She looked a little embarrassed. 'I, emm, turned to the girl and said "Good luck, he's a terrible kisser."'

I forced a laugh, but the though of Katie kissing someone made me uncomfortable.

'Well, he was! It was like kissing a plughole.'

'Nah, it's not that.' Lee said cockily, smirking at Katie. 'It's just because he couldn't measure up to me.'

'What?' I never did like that Lee Jordan.

Fred looked me strangely. 'Lee and Katie dated for like 4 months last year. Don't you remember?'

'Oh! Oh, yeah, course.' What? They dated? I did not know that…


Aaaand that's it for chapter one! So, basically, the more reviews I get, the quicker I'll update! Also, I've made an alteration or two: I've made it so Katie is in fifth year with Fred, George, Angelina ect. Also, some minor details may not be completely accurate. This story is roughly based on Prisoner of Azkaban, so the next chapter will be the Dementors on the train :)

So, yeah, remember to review!
