[Oliver Wood]

**His grin becomes lopsided as she teases him like the good ol' days. Though he shouldn't be, he's a bit surprised to see her here.**

"Oh, I'm sure ya've got 'em tied up in the back room, or summat. I know how you fancy their devilishly good looks, and blazin' red 'air."

**Runs a hand over his robes smugly.**

"I stopped fancyin' you when you started whinin' 'bout practisin' in the rain. I haven't much use for whiny lil' Chasers."

**Oliver begins to move to her, his arms held out for a hug. He hasn't seen Katie in ages, and it feels good to be looking at a friendly face.**

[Katie Bell]

*Laughs, shaking her head*

No one could keep them anywhere they didn't want to be.

*Puts her hands on her hips again as he mentions her dislike of practices literally in rain or shine. She tilts her head, raising an eyebrow as he walks towards her*

No, I stopped fancyin' you since you opened your mouth, Mr. Wood.

*Crosses her arms and turns to the side, fighting a smirk*

I'm not touching you.

[Oliver Wood]

**His grin turns into a frown as she declines his hug, arms dropping to his sides, though he's still advancing on her.**

C'mon, Bell, ya've never stopped fancyin' lil' ol' me.

**Leaps at her, trying to grab her up in a hug. He feels perfectly comfortable in doing so as they have spent loads of time together in the past. It's almost as if they were back in school.**

How could ya, I'm irresistible, donchya know.

[Katie Bell]

*Watching him from the corner of her eye, she sees him lunging towards her. However, she underestimates his speed, and before she can move, she's wrapped in his arms and laughing*

Oi!

*Struggles, already planning ways to get him back. It may be just a hug, but the point is that he was faster than her, therefore beat her. Even at Hogwarts, on or off the field, that was unacceptable. She grins, thinking of all the times they messed around and how it felt exactly like this*

You only wish you were irresistable- being Quidditch Captain back then spoiled you mate!

[Oliver Wood]

**Oliver holds her in a tight friendly hug, laughter shaking his entire body. He was sure he'd get the best of her in this situation, and it seems he was right.**

Yeah, but now I'm a Quidditch Star, an' tha' alone makes me even more irresistible.

**Let's his arms drops to his sides, allowing her to escape his grasp. The memories of them fooling around like they used to in the Common Room, and on the Pitch come flooding back.**

**Slaps her on the arm, like an old friend.**

How've ya been then, Bell.

[Katie Bell]

*Automatically smacks his arm back, not even thinking about it*

I've been good. Not like I play for any professional teams or whatnot-

*Smirks, giving him a mock accusing look*

-but I have enough fun here.

Anything interesting for you, outside the Puddlemere fame?

[Oliver Wood]

**His eyes widen a bit as he begins to understand she works here. He raises the question.**

How long ya been workin' 'ere then?

**Stuffs his hands back into his pockets, shoulders raising a bit.**

Haven' had much time to mehself since I've become startin' Keeper. Can' really go anywhere neither seein' as I usually have ta hide from gaggles of squealin' lil' witches.

How 'bout you? Seen anyone from the ol' gang lately?

[Katie Bell]

*Rolls her eyes playfully*

Oh, I've worked here since I left Hogwarts...but I've owned it for quite a while. Somehow I deal with demanding customers or ridiculous Quidditch stars...

*Grins, expecting such an answer from him, knowing his life must be busy as a professional*

Mhmm, 'cause I'm seeing so many witches squealin' over you now. I completely understand mate.

[Oliver Wood]

**Oliver is impressed that she now owns the shop. Who better than Katie to be the owner of a Quidditch supply shop, maybe him, but she'll so nicely.**

Brilliant-

**Claps his hands together, rubbing his palms together. Now he's sure he can have a go on that Firebolt he was admiring earlier.**

-now how 'bout tha' ride on the Firebolt?

**Give her a cheeky ear-to-ear grin.**

**Mocks laughter, slapping his knee.**

Merlin, I forgot how funny ya really are.

If ya don' believe me, then let's go for a walk 'round the way, an' see how many times we get stopped?

**Nods toward the door, reaching for her hand to drag her out of the shop.**

[Katie Bell]

*Raises one eyebrow, wondering why she wasn't waiting for that question*

You-

*Huffs, shaking her head as he takes her hand*

-nothing is going to happen out there, Oliver. Just wait.

*Smiles, loving the way they still mess around*

[Katie Bell]

~~~~~~~~

*Apparates right outside the shop, opening the door. She pulls out her wand from her pocket and waves it in the air, whispering as she locks up the shop*

*Turns, Disapparating back to Oliver*

[Harry Potter]

---

*Slips in, his heavy black hood up*

*Walks through to the back*

Katie?

[Katie Bell]

*Bored out of her mind, knowing today is one of the slower days, Katie's having too much fun messing around with everything in the shop. She's charmed the Quaffles to twirl around in the air randomly as she tries to guide a paper broom through the Katie-made obstacle course*

*She's too busy flying the paper broom to notice that anyone walks into the shop*

[Harry Potter]

*Ducks as a quaffle zooms over his head, his hood falling down*

Oi! Woman! What are you doing?!

*Bats away another quaffle with his hand, making his way out back*

[Katie Bell]

* totally not expecting anyone to walk in on this*

Who the-

*Jumps up from sitting on the floor, wacking her head on one of the Quaffles before calling*

Finite Incantatem!

*Curses under her breath as she dodges another Quaffle falling from the ceiling*

Sorry sir!

*Realizes she's not sure if the speaker was a man or a woman*

Er, Miss! You there!

*Scoffs as she jogs to the front of the shop, freezing as she sees who the person is*

Wotcher, Harry!

*Speeds over and throws her arms around him. It's been a while since she's seen him, and she's also thankful for a new distraction*
