A/N
Chapter one, well officially chapter one, if you want to be technical its chapter two.
Enjoy!
Harry grabbed Luna's small hand hastily; trying to be sure they would arrive to the portkey on time. Finally he recognized the green sunny clearing; it was where their portkey was. Their portkey was a small muggle soda that lay on the lush grass, waiting for someone (preferably not a muggle) to hold it. At exactly 8am it would take them directly to their destination, the first Puddlemere United game of the season, and Oliver Wood would be playing captain.
Harry hoped that Oliver's charming nature, and the spectacular match, would take Luna's mind off certain things.
They quickly found their seats, hoping they hadn't missed too much; they arrived just in time for the calling of the players,
"OUR CHASERS FOR TODAY ARE, SARAH-LEE HORNET, MIRANDA MERSHALL AND REBECKAH CHIMLEY!"
The speaker paused to allow the loud cheering these three female chasers were attracting.
"THE BEATERS ARE, JOHN WILKINSON AND SAMUEL GREEN-DEVONSHIRE"
"AND THE SEEKER IS, JOSHUA SMITH!"
"AND OUR KEEPER, OLIVER WOOD"
Harry cheered loudest, then turned peering at Luna who was staring rather intently and excitedly at the keeper,
"Hey, he's erm- he went to Hogwarts a couple of years ago, didn't he?"
Harry nodded, his glasses nearly falling of the tip of his nose, she had remembered, did she like him already?
"He's rather attractive isn't he?"
She blushed; it contrasted nicely against her pale skin as it ran up her face, like someone had thrown a tin of tomato paste over her head. She stopped blushing, pulled herself together and commenced watching the match, she was fun to take to Quidditch, and she commentated on her own silently under her breath, gasped and jumped up, and erupting into loud enthusiastic cheers when Wood saved a goal or one of the chasers scored again the opposing side.
Finally it was the half time interval, Harry grabbed Luna, pinning her by his side so he couldn't lose her, and they went in search for Oliver Wood.
They entered the changing room, Harry subconsciously let go of Luna so he could try to find Oliver, Harry suddenly heard the crash that was Luna falling on to the ground, and he turned to see Oliver helping Luna up, asking her if she was ok.
Harry ran over as fast as he could, (which was quite fast), he was so excited that they had finally met, and it wasn't a forced awkward meeting either.
"So, I see you found Oliver, Luna"
"Oh yes I did, he's rather good you know, he has know wrackspurts or nargles anywhere near him, I checked!" Her airy, dreamy voice wafted around the change room, and Harry noticed Oliver's eyes were totally transfixed on Luna, he was absorbing her every word, like it was his lifeline.
Harry decided he'd go find the team's seeker, and talk tactics, leaving Luna and Oliver time to talk things out.
"So, have you ever seen a crumple horned snorack?"
Oliver nodded, not really hearing what she was saying, only appreciating the melodious sound of this girls voice, her blonde hair shook slightly as she got excited, the little radish earrings she was wearing kept changing colors, from orange to yellow, green to blue.
Oliver had no idea, how he had come across meeting her, or how she could possibly be so beautiful! All he knew was that he wanted this girl.
Oliver wanted to take her for a walk, but the bell sounded that they'd better be going if they wanted to make it to the second half of the match, he turned to the young blonde.
"Luna, I have to go now to the match, you go find Harry, and watch me from the stands"
He flashed a brilliant smile, showing perfectly straight teeth,
"Yes alright Oliver, you do that, I'll be cheering for you!"
She was just about to skip away into the stands, until Oliver grabbed her arm and hugged her, he didn't know why he did, he'd only just met her, she'll probably be scared off now, but he did know that he had a chance with this girl, he knew why Harry brought her along, and he knew if he didn't take action, he would lose her.
She returned the hug, before flicking her hair around her shoulder and skipping away to the stands.
"Hey, Luna?" asked Harry, in an anxious tone. He was afraid that things had not gone to plan.
"Yeah Harry?" Harry watched as Luna spoke, he could see her eyes watching Oliver's every move, blushing when he waved over at her
"So erm- what did you think of Oliver?"
"Oh- well he's rather handsome isn't he?"
"Yeah and…" Harry took a sharp intake of breath in anxiousness.
"And Harry, I think he's a keeper, I really do!" Luna said in a cheery voice.
Harry slumped back with a relieved sigh into his seat; everything was going according to plan.
A/N
This chapter is rather short, the others will be longer, and from now on I'll be focusing on Luna and Oliver's relationship, rather than get Dean into it straight away.
This story is really fun to write.
