Chapter 1: Unexpected Meeting

Angelina Johnson strolled through Diagon Alley, looking for a good birthday present for Oliver Wood. She felt a flutter in her stomach at his name: Oliver Wood. She sighed a little. Oliver and Angelina had been going out for nearly three months now. Angelina felt like she was in love.

Angelina spotted Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. She weighed it in her mind; Oliver did like a good laugh every now and then, and it wasn't too expensive. She walked into the shop.

It was utter chaos in the store. It seemed that even though most kids were at school at this time, the shop was still popular. Of course, Angelina thought gloomily, I should be working right now, but this is just as important. Angelina worked as a journalist for Which Broomstick? She was constantly writing reviews for new brooms, and earned a fair number of Galleons because of the ever-growing popularity of Quidditch.

'Angelina?' A voice interrupted her thoughts. She turned to see the owner of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes striding toward her.

'George?' She stared, even knowing that of course he would be here, as he did own the shop.

'Haven't seen you around here,' George said, shaking her hand. 'Need something in particular?'

'Not really,' Angelina replied, looking around through the crowd. 'I'm looking for a present for Oliver Wood. Do you know anything he might like?'

'Maybe a calming draught,' George muttered under his breath.

'What was that?' Angelina asked, putting her hands on her hips and glaring.

'Nothing,' George said hurriedly. 'You could check the Quidditch section over there, he might like that. Or you could go to Quality Quidditch Supplies and get him something from there.'

'Alright, thanks,' Angelina said, walking to the back of the shop. She found a tiny broom that, when waved, would zoom out of your hand and tickle your nose. Angelina thought it was hysterical, so she brought it to the front of the room to purchase.

'Thanks for buying,' said George, handing her her change. 'Come again anytime.'

'Will do,' Angelina replied, taking her present and smiling at him. 'See you around.' With that, she left to go and wrap her present.


'Do you like it?' Angelina asked anxiously as Oliver unwrapped her present.

'It's great, love,' Oliver told her, chuckling as the broom swatted at his nose. 'Thanks.' He gave her a kiss and they snuggled.

'Happy birthday Oliver,' Angelina said, hugging him and watching the broom rise lazily toward the ceiling. 'I love you.'

'Love you too,' Oliver replied absentmindedly, stroking her hair.
