Chapter 1
"I cannot wait until this year is over! Can you believe it Alexa? We are 7th years! This is so exciting! When we graduate we should so move in together!"
"Yea. Can't wait."
Alexa was your normal 17 year old girl. She had blonde hair that went to her shoulders and big brown eyes. She wasn't exactly beautiful or drop dead gorgeous, but she had a certain quality about her that you just fell in love with. She was a 7th year at Hogwarts. She couldn't believe that so many years had gone by so quickly. It felt like just yesterday that she was a first year, walking down the aisle of the great hall, waiting to be sorted. Now, she sat at the table, with her best friend Kristie. Kristie was the girl that everyone wanted to be. She had long brown hair that fell to just below her shoulder blades. She had bright green eyes and was absolutely beautiful. Alexa always wondered why Kristie gave her the time of day. But they both got along great; they seemed like twins, although they looked totally different.
They waited in the great hall after arriving for their 7th year at Hogwarts. Everyone was much more grown up. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were looking the same, but older. Ron and Hermione had finally given into each other and realized that they both liked one another. So they began dating their 6th year. Harry was still the same. He was still the shy boy around girls, but with some coaching from Kristie, he was a lot better than what he used to be.
Finally, the first years decided to enter the hall, following Professor McGonagall. They gathered around the front and soon began to be sorted. As the first years were being sorted, Alexa looked up to the head table where all of the teachers sat. She noticed a young looking man who looked to be about 20. He didn't look like a teacher. She couldn't help but stare. He was absolutely gorgeous. He had dark brown hair, and dark brown eyes to match. He was talking with Professor Snape. 'Who knows what kind of conversation that man can actually have?' She didn't notice she was staring until he turned to her and met his brown eyes with hers. She couldn't look away. Something about him wanted her to get lost in his eyes forever.
"Alexa!" shouted Kristie. Alexa snapped out of her staring contest and looked towards Kristie.
"Yes?"
"I have been trying to get your attention for like 10 minutes. What is wrong with you?"
"O, sorry, I was just daydreaming. What is it?"
"Well, now that I have your attention, I can tell you all. You all remember Oliver Wood, don't you? Well of course you do, he was only the hottest guy in the school. Anyways, he is teaching this year! Madame Hooch is on leave, and he is taking her spot as flying instructor and quidditch coach. He is even hotter as a teacher than a student. And, he is only a couple of years older than us!"
The rest of the girl that sat around Alexa decided to giggle and talk about Oliver like he was a piece of meat. They talked about all kinds of things that they could do with him. Alexa, having never had a boyfriend, tuned them out and returned her stare to the front of the hall. There were about 5 more first years to be sorted. Alexa felt eyes on her once more and looked around till she came in contact with the same brown eyes as before. As she looked at him, he smiled to her. She blushed like a tomato and turned towards her friends.
"Why are you so red?" asked Kristie.
"O, nothing, I'm kind of hot. It's stifling in here isn't?" She looked around to find everyone staring at her like she was nuts. "Maybe not."
"The only time you have ever looked like that was when that cute boy in Diagon Alley asked if he could carry your broom. Who has caught your eye this time?" asked Kristie.
"No one, really, I'm just really hot. I think I'm going to go to sleep. Goodbye everyone." She got up quickly and left the hall. She didn't go to bed just yet. She decided to walk around the school for a bit. She walked past the lake and decided to sit and watch the moon.
"Hello."
Alexa almost jumped out of her skin. She turned to see the teacher that she was having the staring contest with standing not but 2 feet away from her. She noticed that he was just looking at her and realized that she hadn't said anything back. She must look like a fish.
"H-hello."
"Mind if I sit?"
"Yes, I mean no, I don't mind." She thanked the witches and wizards that it was dark out. She must look like a tomato. He sat down next to her and looked out over the lake.
"I'm Oliver. Oliver Wood." He said as he stuck is hand out.
"O, you're the new Professor?"
"Yes. But please, don't call me Professor, makes me sound old and mean. Call me Oliver, please."
Alexa just smiled. "Alright."
He continued to stare at her and she was kind of getting a little annoyed. She turned towards him. "Can I help you with something?"
"Well, I was hoping you would give me or name seeing as how I have just given you mine." He said with a small smile.
She instantly was embarrassed but found herself relaxing to his smile. She chuckled to herself.
"Sorry. I'm Alexa."
"Alexa? That's a beautiful name, seeing as how it's fit for a beautiful girl."
Alexa just blushed and looked back to the lake with a small smile on her face. She didn't notice how long they had sat there until Oliver spoke.
"Well, it is late and you have classes tomorrow, so,"
"O, is it that late? I'm sorry for keeping you out here. You didn't have to stay; you could have gone in,"
"Alexa. It's fine. I enjoyed being out here with you. Come, I will take you to the dormitories."
They walked back to the castle where Oliver dropped her off in front of the Gryffindor dormitories.
"Thank you, Professor,"
"Oliver." He said with a smile.
Alexa just smiled also. "Oliver. I appreciate you walking me. Have a good night." She turned and said the password. She walked into the common room and glanced back for one last look at Oliver before the doors closed. 'O boy.' She thought to herself as she walked up to her room, not looking forward to the interrogation that would surely take place.
