Queen of hearts
Chapter 1: Waking in a lonely house
Oliver slowly roused from his slumber with his alarm shrieking to quicken him, moaning in protest he shut the foul thing off and looked at the time it showed, 9:30 he sighed and got up to make his way towards the bathroom for a shower, today was going to be a long day he thought to himself.
Once washed and dressed Oliver went to his door to collect his muggle post, nothing amongst it aroused any interest and he put it down on the table while he prepared himself breakfast he fried up some bacon and eggs and had just sat down to eat when he heard the 'tap tap tap 'that signalled the arrival of 'The Daily Prophet'. Oliver got up and let the owl in through the window, paid the owl the correct money and went back to his breakfast , only opening the paper after he was finished to see his face plastered all across its pages again " God damn that Skeeter woman!" he shouted to the empty house. This fact hit him like a ton of bricks as he sank back into his chair, he was alone, all across Rita Skeeter's section of the paper scandalous lies about his love life screamed at him.
The paper read: Keeper can't catch a keeper Quidditch team Puddlemere United keeper Oliver Wood, seen sneaking out of yet another young lady's home after a disastrous one-night stand. Commitment issues girls? Your answer YES! I Rita Skeeter tried to talk to wood but was told that I should "go to hell" and to "stop spreading lies" well, all my readers know that my information and articles are 100 per cent TRUTH! And that it is a well known fact that famed bachelor Oliver Wood has had many so called relationships that have lasted no longer that a fizzing wizbee. Giving you love, life and all the gossip you could ask for,
Rita Skeeter.
Oliver wondered how long the treacherous woman would drag his name through the mud for, a small part of himself whispered "but she does have a point." Oliver was shocked at this revelation; he hadn't had a serious relationship since the war was over, he lived alone and every relationship he had had since was with women who could barely avoid being called whores and even with these women it had been just meaningless sex, no feelings, no thoughts, just sex. "god almighty," Oliver was speaking to himself " I really need to get a girlfriend and not one of those cheap slag's that I normally go out with , no I need someone the opposite, someone who cares for me and who won't just do me cause they want money." A thought suddenly hit him "I need someone like that Granger girl from school." And with this in mind Oliver shrugged on his jacket and left for diagon ally
All away across London, Hermione Granger was moving her things into a small flat overlooking The River Thames and sighed to herself, she had just broken up with Ron, her boyfriend of two years that apparently 'loved' her. "Huh! Some love that was when you end up sleeping with that slut lavender brown isn't it my dear Ronald." She was still bitter, it felt as if when she walked in and saw them Ron had personally reached into her chest, ripped out her heart and crushed it into a million tiny little crystals. She sighed again "you know I suppose I always knew he was cheating on me, all the sneaking around staying at work late." Hermione sat down on the edge of the couch and rested there for a few minutes then went back to unpacking her things, resolving to forget Ron completely.
Unfortunately her plans of forgetfulness crashed down around her when she found one of Ron's shirts amongst her clothes "Damn it! I need something sweet and cake like." With that she realized that she had no idea where to go in muggle London but remembered that there was an ice-cream parlour in diagon ally and apperated there quickly.
