1 Oliver!?
*3rd Person Point of View*
Oliver snorted and looked at his mom and Tara over his shoulder, "So Hogwarts ay? What exactly is so special about Hogwarts?"
Tara rolled her eyes and jumped up on her tippy toes and stretched her arms above her head and tried to grab the plate, "Ugghh…Hogwarts is the best school for witchcraft and wizardry…. *groan* I hate being short." Oliver bit into his apple and grabbed the plate as if it was nothing and handed it to her.
"Yeah, yeah you've already said that. But I mean what's so special about it." Oliver yawned and leaned back in the chair. Tara looked at the plate and than to Oliver, plate Oliver, plate Oliver, her anger growing.
Mrs. Wood patted her gently on the arm and took the plate from her before turning back to her son, "Honey Hogwarts is a wonderful school. The teachers and the headmaster, Dumbledore, have always been the best of the best. Why most of the wizards of our days went to Hogwarts. I went there myself. Now why are you being so negative? Earlier you were fine with it."
Oliver sniffed, "Yeah well I've had time to think about it and…I don't feel like going anymore."
Tara sat down next to him and grabbed his face and made him look her in the eye. When she saw she had his attention she started talking, "Oliver…please. I want to go to Hogwarts. My parents want me to too. Oliver…I won't go if you don't. I don't want you to go if you don't but I really think we should."
Oliver unlocked eyes with his best friend and took another bite of his apple. They all sat in silence for a few moments. Mrs. Wood cleared her throat, "Oliver dear could you help me set the table?" She smiled sweetly, "Will you be staying for dinner sweetie?"
Tara nodded and stood up and wiped her clammy hands on her skirt, "I have to go home. My mum is probably wondering where I am. I've been here all day."
Mrs. Wood smiled and nudged Oliver, "You walk her home dear."
"Oh come on it's not like she doesn't know the way…Ouch!" Oliver rubbed his head and put his apple down and started towards the door, grumbling, "Fine. I'll be back. Better have dinner done by the time I get back."
Mrs. Wood smiled to herself, "You and your father…*sigh*."
Oliver shut the door behind them and yawned. Tara pulled her sleeves down and started walking faster. Oliver raised his eyebrow in confusion but ran to catch up with her. "Hey what's the matter?" Oliver walked fast next to her and turned around and walked backwards. Tara ignored him and kept walking.
Oliver stopped and grabbed her arm, "Hey answer me! I was talking to you." He said in mock anger.
She stopped walking and turned to him and glared, "Oliver I'm scared too. I don't want to leave either, but I am. My mum told me a long time ago that I was her only hope. We're kinda broke. But if I get to Hogwarts and take my stuff seriously I'll get a good job and get paid. They need my support. How do you think your mother feels? Hmm…She probably has been waiting for this moment since the day you were born."
Oliver let go of her arm and looked at her, his face dangerously close, red with anger, "I'm NOT scared. And you need to drop it. It's MY decision!"
She gulped and backed up a little, "Oliver you don't have to lie to me. And don't tell me you're not lying. I've known you for quite a long time and I can tell when you're lying." She stepped and backed up a little more, "Oliver please stop it. I don't like seeing you angry. It scares me."
Oliver just shoved his hands in his pockets and turned around, "We better get going. Your parents are waiting." Tara opened her mouth but Oliver just started walking slowly, "Forget it. Please just drop it."
Tara shut her mouth and started walking beside him. As they almost reached her house she attempted to talk to him again, "Oliver…I…"
Oliver just waved her off and kept silent. When they reached her door he looked at her, "Well I have to go now."
She looked at him sadly, "You aren't still mad are you? Look, I'm really sorry. It's just I really want you to go to Hogwarts."
"Goodnight. Tara." Oliver turned around and walked down the driveway, "I'll see ya later."
Tara watched him walk away. She creased her eyebrows together. AS he was out of hearing distance, "Oliver. Please don't be mad. I didn't mean to…"
She looked behind her as she heard the door open. He father stood there smiling her mother right behind him, "Welcome home dear. We were worried Oliver had tied you up and wasn't going to let you come home. You've been gone all day." Tara smiled at them and shook her head.
They stepped aside and let her in. She walked past them and to the stairs, intending on going to her room.
"Angel aren't you going to eat?" Tara stopped and looked back at her mother.
"I'm not hungry mum. I had a big lunch at Oliver's." Her mother looked skeptic but nodded. Tara walked up the rest of the way, "G'night."
Her parents said goodnight and she walked upstairs and into her room. As she lay down on her stomach she realized how hungry she was. In fact she hadn't even eaten the lunch Mrs. Wood had made. But at that moment Tara didn't feel her nervous and worried stomach would be able to hold it down. 'Oliver…'
