Unusual Pairing
Might be a little OOC on Percy's part
Oliver Wood's brown eyes flew open. Today was the day. It was his first Quidditch match. He jumped out of bed and began getting dressed.
"It's seven am, Oliver," his roommate Percy Weasley complained.
"I can't sleep anymore, my first Quidditch game is today."
The redhead shook his head and said. "That's not for another two and a half hours."
Oliver was already finished getting changed into his Quidditch robes. Percy sighed and felt around for his horn-rimmed glasses on the night stand. Sometimes he cursed the Sorting Hall for not putting him in Ravenclaw like he wanted. Oliver was just as obsessed with Quidditch as Charlie. Although, it was a bit endearing.
"Are you coming or not?"
Percy got out of bed. He had never been much of a morning person especially when he stays up late to get his homework done. He clumsily got dressed and followed Oliver down to the common room.
"Hey Oliver, you excited for your first game?" Charlie asked as he walked up to him and his brother.
"Most definitely," Oliver nodded excitedly.
Charlie smiled in a brotherly way and said. "I was incredibly nervous for my first game as well."
About an hour later, the group walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast but Oliver was too nervous to eat so just sat there with Percy and Charlie. He was bubbling with enthusiasm as they walked out to the pitch.
At nine thirty, the match started. Oliver stationed himself at the rings ready to catch the Quaffle. He blocked a few goals from Slytherin. He was starting to feel a little dizzy. Maybe he should've eaten today. Suddenly, a bludger came whizzing towards him and knocked him off his broom. He was immediately taken off the Pitch.
Though, the match continued until the Slytherin seeker caught the snitch. The rest of the team and Percy rushed to see if he was okay.
"Is he okay?" Charlie asked the matron.
Madame Pomfrey frowned and said. "It seems like he has a concussion. He maybe be knocked out for a bit."
"How long is a bit?" Percy asked.
"Well, Mr. Weasley, that's hard to tell. It could be a few days or even longer."
Percy frowned. That means he'll be alone in his dorm.
Percy had been visiting his roommate for the last few days.
"You have to wake up, Wood," he said stoically.
The two boys might be opposites but it seems like they were only ones who understood each other's obsessions. He ended up falling asleep on the bench. It was a restless sleep.
"Percy!"
The startled boy fell off the bench onto the floor. He looked up to see his older brother Charlie.
"What are you doing here?"
"I must've fallen asleep when I was here visiting Oliver," Percy said, getting up from the floor.
Charlie said. "I didn't realize you were close."
Percy nodded. He decided to go clean up for the day. Charms with the Ravenclaws was first.
"How's Oliver?" a blond girl asked.
"He still hasn't woken up, Penelope."
The girl smiled sympathetically. After classes Percy went back to the Hospital Wing.
It was now a week since Oliver's accident, Percy was in the Hospital Wing reading a book when the brunette began to stir. Percy immediately jumped up.
"What happened?"
"You were hit by a bludger at the Quidditch match last Saturday."
Oliver said. "How could Quidditch betray me like that!"
Percy shook his head glad to have his friend back.
