oli_keeper_wood: ::comes out of his room, eyes red-rimmed, walks straight into the kitchen without 
saying a word::
chaserkatie: ::hears Oliver's door open, peeks her head out of her room, and sees Oliver go into 
the kitchen...waits a moment and then walks to the kitchen:: Hey.
oli_keeper_wood: Hi. ::gets bread out and puts two pieces in the toaster::
chaserkatie: Listen Oliver...I'm sorry about before. I didn't mean to get so frantic, and I didn't 
mean to freak you out. I just...I care about you, and it kills me to see you in so much pain.
oli_keeper_wood: It's okay, Katie. I just. I have a lot to think about.
chaserkatie: I understand. *pauses* Oliver, don't take this the wrong way, but...you are going to 
tell your parents no...right?
oli_keeper_wood: I can't believe you're asking me that.
chaserkatie: I know. That was really stupid. Forget I asked.
oli_keeper_wood: Er. Okay, sure. ::smiles:: Forgotten.
chaserkatie: That didn't sound very convincing. *weak smile*
oli_keeper_wood: Sorry.
chaserkatie: You have no reason to be sorry. Oliver, I know you would never become a Death Eater. 
I just...I just don't want you to do something just to make your parents proud of you. They don't 
deserve to have you for a son, and you shouldn't worry about trying to please them.
oli_keeper_wood: ::swallows hard:: Right. 
chaserkatie: Right?
oli_keeper_wood: ... right.
chaserkatie: I'm just wondering what part of that you agreed with.
oli_keeper_wood: Oh. Um, I agree that I shouldn't have to worry about pleasing my parents.
chaserkatie: *smiles* Good. *wraps my arms around you and places my head on your shoulder* Is 
there anything you want me to do? Anything I can do to help? I mean anything.
oli_keeper_wood: No - just. No. I need to think all this over myself.
chaserkatie: *pulls away from you and looks at you* Oliver, please don't push me away. 
oli_keeper_wood: I'm not trying to, I - this is my problem, K. This is where you have to let me 
handle it.
chaserkatie: *softly* Okay. I guess.
chaserkatie: Just promise me that if you want help, you'll come talk to me, okay?
oli_keeper_wood: Where else would I go?
chaserkatie: *smiles* I don't know. I just don't want you to push me away. I'm a big girl Oliver. 
There's very little in this world that I can't handle.
oli_keeper_wood: But this is something I need to handle myself.
chaserkatie: Oliver, you said youself that you've tried to handle your parents before, and it 
hasn't worked.
oli_keeper_wood: So this time I'll have to do something differently.
chaserkatie: Like what?
oli_keeper_wood: That's what I have to figure out.
chaserkatie: Okay. I just don't know why you feel like you have to do this alone.
oli_keeper_wood: ::looks at her uneasily:: It's quite a personal decision, don't you think?
chaserkatie: What, how to deal with your parents?
oli_keeper_wood: Yeah.
chaserkatie: Well, I suppose. I mean, you're the only one who knows what your parents are truly 
like. But if you're in danger, real danger, then that effects all of us. You, me and Alicia. 
I...I'm not going to argue with you though. If you don't want ehlp, that's fine.
oli_keeper_wood: I don't. ::looks at her, shakes his head:: I'm sorry, K - I really am.
chaserkatie: It's okay. *smiles* Stop saying you're sorry. You have no reason to be.
oli_keeper_wood: Right. ::grins:: You want some toast?
chaserkatie: Sure. *grins*
chaserkatie: Although I still say that you need to eat more than just toast. You're going to turn 
into a piece of toast if you keep eating like this..
oli_keeper_wood: ::hands her a piece of bread:: You know where the toaster is.
chaserkatie: *rolls eyes* You are such a...man. *puts the bread in the toaster*
oli_keeper_wood: Oh, big insult.
chaserkatie: I could have said something else, but I decided to be nice.
oli_keeper_wood: I've always said you're a goddess.
chaserkatie: And you're always right about that. *smiles*
oli_keeper_wood: You know it.
chaserkatie: So, if I'm a goddess, and you're my husband, does that make you a god?
oli_keeper_wood: Yes, yes it does. ::grins::
chaserkatie: Wow. I actually saw your head inflate at that.
oli_keeper_wood: ::laughs::
chaserkatie: Yeah, forget Marcus. I'm the one you got involved with for the ego inflation.
oli_keeper_wood: ::frowns:: Don't.
chaserkatie: What?
oli_keeper_wood: I'm not friends with anyone for ego-inflation.
chaserkatie: Oliver, I was kidding.
oli_keeper_wood: ... right. Good. ::smiles a little sheepishly:: Sorry, K. I'm just a bit touchy 
today.
chaserkatie: It's okay. I understand. *smiles* I'll just be more careful about what I say.
oli_keeper_wood: You're too good to me.
chaserkatie: I know. *grins* But you deserve it.
oli_keeper_wood: Thanks.
chaserkatie: I don't care what anyone says. You're a good person. *smiles*
oli_keeper_wood: That means a lot to me, K.
chaserkatie: Well you mean a lot to me.
oli_keeper_wood: Thanks. ::grins:: You always have been a good friend to me.
chaserkatie: And I plan on being a good friend to you for as long as you'll have me. *hugs you* 
You're a wonderful friend to me too.
oli_keeper_wood: ::grins:: I don't exactly do much.
chaserkatie: That's not true. You were there for me when Ron and I broke up. And I'm going to be 
on the Puddlemere reserve team thanks to you. *smiles*
oli_keeper_wood: Yeah, but - even in school, you were a good friend to me. I'm glad I can finally 
repay you.
chaserkatie: It's not just about repayment Oliver. *smiles* Besides, I'm sure that one of these 
days, something extremely horrible is going to happen to me, and I know you'll be there for me.
oli_keeper_wood: ::grins:: I hope nothing extremely horrible happens to you.
chaserkatie: Me too. But seeing as how the lives of everyone around us are falling apart, I figure 
it's only a matter of time before I get my fair share of tragedy.
oli_keeper_wood: I know the feeling.
chaserkatie: That's one of the most pessimistic things that has ever come out of my mouth.
oli_keeper_wood: I won't tell if you don't. ::grins::
chaserkatie: *laughs* Okay. Sounds good to me.
oli_keeper_wood: Me too.
chaserkatie: You know, I don't think I'll ever find someone that I can work with as well as I can 
with you.
oli_keeper_wood: I should think not! You're my wife!
chaserkatie: *sigh* What are we going to do about our marriage when you meet the guy you want to 
spend your life with? 
oli_keeper_wood: I already have met him, what are you talking about?
chaserkatie: I'm assuming you're talking about Percy.
oli_keeper_wood: Of course I am!
oli_keeper_wood: I want to spend until eternity with him.
chaserkatie: *smiles* Oliver, you are so adorable sometimes. Seriously though, what does Percy 
think of our marriage?
oli_keeper_wood: I don't think it's really explicitly come up in conversation.
chaserkatie: What, you haven't told him about the seven children we're having? *giggles*
oli_keeper_wood: Not yet. But he's meant to be helping, so I'd better tell him soon.
chaserkatie: Yes, I think we need to give him some fair warning. *smiles*
oli_keeper_wood: Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
chaserkatie: You say that like it's news or something.
oli_keeper_wood: Oops. ::grins::
chaserkatie: *laughs*
chaserkatie: It's good to see you smiling again.
oli_keeper_wood: It's good to be smiling again.
chaserkatie: I love you Oliver. I'd do absolutely anything you asked me to do. You know that, 
right?
oli_keeper_wood: ... Yeah. Just. I think I'm going to go back to my room for a while.
chaserkatie: ...Okay. Did...did I say something wrong?
oli_keeper_wood: No. ::smiles:: Just a lot to think about. I'll see you later. ::walks off to his 
room::
chaserkatie: *sigh* Merlin, please let him be okay. Please.
