Selfish Bloke (An Oliver Wood Love Story)

The New Year's Eve Party

"Margaret Elizabeth Smallwood, get yourself out of bed this instant," Katie sternly shouted, shaking me awake. I opened my eyes to see my dorm at Hogwarts. We had gotten to the school late last night and everyone was sneaking something, either food, decorations, or fireworks, into the common room. Katie and I were in charge of getting the butterbeer for tonight, so we planned on sneaking off to Hogsmeade through on of the secret tunnels, buying a couple crates of it, and sneaking it back into the common room. I knew that the twins were in charge of the fireworks that would explode at midnight, since they made them, and Oliver was in charge of getting the Fire Whiskey. 

"Katherine Emily Bell, let me sleep," I groaned, taking a pillow and chucking it at her. She ducked, missing the pillow by mere inches, grabbed my foot, and yanked me out of bed. I fell to the ground with a thud, sitting up immediately after.

"What time is it?" I asked, yawning and rubbing my eyes.

"Nearly noon, you lazy arse!" She yelled from the bathroom. I groaned, stood up, and walked over to my trunk. I pulled out my pullover Puddlemere sweater that Ginny gave me, some skinny jeans, and my chestnut brown Oxfords. I pulled the sweater over my head, tugged on my skinny jeans, and slid on some socks and my Oxfords quickly before walking over to the bathroom to Katie.

"How many cases are we supposed to bring back?" I asked, putting toothpaste on my toothbrush before brushing my teeth. 

"Lee said 10 cases, each case has about 20 in them. So we're both taking backpacks or some sort of bag to Hogsmeade and we'll carry back as much as we can. We'll probably have to take multiple trips, but Madam Rosmerta arranged for the cases to stay in the cellar of Honeydukes, so we can just go back and forth through that passage. The only good thing is that we get to keep all the extras," Katy finished as I began putting on my makeup.

"I think I'm just going to wear this to the party, everyone is going casual after all, what are you planning to wear?" I asked as I drew on my eyeliner.

"Just this," Katie said, pointing down to the light grey sweater, skinny jeans, and converse that she was wearing.

"Okay, I'm ready. What time does that party start?" I asked, cleaning up all my stuff on the counter.

"The party starts at nine, and it'll probably take us at least two hours to get all the butter beer back here, so we could probably head over and get lunch before we head to Honeydukes," Katy explained as we started walking down the stairs to the common room. 

"Mags, Katie. I need another huge favor. Alicia is coming on the Hogwarts Express later than expected, she won't be here until eight, could you both possibly go to Hogsmeade and get the decorations? I had them all sent to Flourish and Blotts," Lee asked from his spot on the couch. I nodded as we walked past him and out of the common room.

"So, are you and Wood going to be kissing at midnight?" Katie asked, playfully arching an eyebrow. I smiled.

"I certainly hope so, we are dating after all," I joked, both of us laughing as we walked down the large cream colored stairs. We approached the Great Hall, looking up at the clock above the wall before we walked in. 

"Bloody hell, it's already 12:30!" Katie said, laughing. We both walked over to the table and plopped down next to Fred and George, Katie and Fred across from George and I.

"Hello, darling," Fred said in a "love-y" voice before kissing Katie. George and I both gagged. 

"Darling?" George asked, laughing with me.

"You're such a hypocrite, Fred. I call Oliver darling as well and you get all pissy, but then you do it to Katie?" I asked, sarcastically. He stuck his tongue down at me, causing George and I to laugh.
