Age is just a number (Oliver Wood one-shot)
I do not own Harry Potter in any way.
It was the last few minutes of the last game in my 5th year.
I looked to the stands and saw the coach from Puddlemere United. I caught the quaffle and did a trick on my broom and threw it through the hoop.
Potter caught the snitch and we won.
I landed and the team came up to me and hugged me.
"Way to go!" the twins said. They lifted me up on their shoulders and I basked in the praise I was receiving.
"Miss Peirce", McGonagall said.
The team let me down and I went to her office. The coach of Puddlemere United was there.
"You're good girl. We want you on the team", he said.
I almost fainted. "Yes!" I yelled.
He handed me the quill and I signed the contract. He grabbed me and we apparated to the quidditch stadium. "Say hello to your new teammate fella's", the coach said.
I looked at the guys and saw a familiar pair of chocolate brown eyes. I dropped my broom and ran to Oliver.
He caught me in his arms and hugged. He kissed my forehead. "Told you you'd make it kid", he said.
The first game I won.
Then we went clubbing.
They played "Hips don't lie".
I grabbed Oliver and swayed my hips to beat.
He followed.
I ended up singing along with the lyrics.
"Man Pierce", Oliver groaned into my ear.
Shivers went down my spine. "You think she likes him?" I heard Jace ask Max.
Within a week, it was obvious on and off the pitch that Oliver and I were together. I was often ridiculed for dating someone on my team and for being the youngest member on the team.
The world cup had come and there was a section of the stands just for the kids in Gryffindor. I remembered our chant. "Who we gonna beat?" I yelled.
"The Holyhead Harpies!" they chanted.
"Who's gonna win?" I yelled.
"Puddlemere United!" they yelled.
The quaffle was released and Oliver sped for it.
I flew down and caught it. "Hand it off or go for it?" I yelled back to him.
"I got your back!" he yelled.
I handed it off to Jace. I turned around and slammed my lips onto Oliver's.
"Bludger!" Max yelled.
We broke apart and sped off in opposite directions.
I got the quaffle again and Lily, from the other team started riding my tail. I tried to shake her off, but it wasn't working. It was my first game all over again, when I couldn't get Blaise off my tail. I looked back and saw Blaise in my mind. I freaked out and my broom plummeted.
Oliver left his place at the goals and flew towards me, Jace did the same. Oliver was on one side of me and Jace on the other. "You good?" Oliver asked.
I pecked him on the lips and all three of us flew up.
Our seeker, Chase, caught the snitch.
We had won the quidditch world cup.
Oliver and I did our normal routine. I flipped my broom upside down.
Oliver did the same.
"Wood! Wood! Wood!" the boys chanted, while the girls chanted, "Pierce! Pierce! Pierce!"
We became right side up. We pulled out our wands and flew to opposite sides of the stadium. We sped towards each other, spinning, spending colorful sparks into the air. Everyone cheered.
Oliver and I landed in the lands.
I was attacked by hugs from Fred, George, Harry, and everyone from my old team.
People moved to give Oliver some room.
Then…he got down on one knee.
"Olivia Pierce, will you marry me?" Oliver asked.
"Yes", I said.
Some people didn't approve. They could take my broom and shove it. Age is just a number.
