So, it's been a long time.*Hides*. So lets reacquaint ourselves. Hi, I don't own Harry Potter, bye.
Holy Shit! Why! Why would they do this, why? No, It cant be true, can it. I snatched the list out of his hands and there it was, Oliver Wood and Katie Bell- Romeo and Juliet. It wouldn't have been that bad if it we were on separate lines but no, we were on the same!
"You're kidding right?" I asked our mums nervously. "Me and this dweeb!"
"-Hey I'm not that bad-"
"No we are not kidding and the list is final!" Mrs Wood snapped at us and stormed off with my mum in tow. Temper, I know, that's where Wood gets it. I looked at him, he looked troubled. I wondered what was up? I looked at Evie but she just shrugged and got up and left.
"What's up Ol?"
"Am I really that bad?"
"No-"
"-Then why did you say it?"
"Because I was angry," it was the truth, "Sorry If I upset you" I was actually feeling bad, I knew I shouldn't of said that and anyway, it wasn't that offensive. I didn't bring it up again though, it clearly upset him. After a while, he finally brightened up as we were coming into land.
"Why is it always so windy and cold where you live?" I asked him.
"What's wrong with where I live?"
"Nothing, at all, I'm just cold and trying to make conversation"
"Okay but just don't diss the weather OR where I...hang... OR my homies." I couldn't help but laugh at his idea of trying to be cool. Pure-bloods normally never bother with common muggle sayings, most of the time they're prim, proper and posh, pretending they don't know the foggiest about muggles. Wood's attempt of saying the word 'homies' just set me off.
"Promise me something" I made sure I sounded serious.
"Anything" He must of thought it was something big I was asking.
"Never say homies again"My reply muffled by laughter. Wood just smirked and blushed. He's quite cute when he blushes...I did not just think that.
"Well anything to get down with the ladies" He decided to go all gangster on me at the end with some hand gestures. "yo"
"Ol',your so lame" I mocked him, giving him a little push while laughing at the same time, "Never. Do. That. Again. It's seriously creepy." I started to laugh but then Wood's face dropped, looking behind me, red with rage and confusion. I followed his eyes to see Evie "talking" to Old Steve the ferry guy, I say talking but what I really mean is talking with someone caressing you. What made it worse was that Evie didn't mind.
"I'm going to kill her" Wood muttered grabbing my wrist and dragging me over to them. I looked around to see that our mothers haven't seen ought yet which was a relief. "What do you think you are doing," Wood whispered as we drew near to them, "You," He said, pointing to Evie, "What if Mother saw you," then he turned to Steve, "And you," Wood was shaking his finger warningly at him, " She's sixteen and your like what, sixty at least? Get someone your own age!"
Old Steve opened his mouth, I was expecting him to blurt out about him and Evie being in love and stuff but all that came out was "Hey, I'm only forty-one-"
"I'm not bothered about your age," Wood continued. "Just stay away from my sister!" and with that he dragged me and Evie off back to where we were standing before. Evie looked like she was going to explode with angry yet she didn't wrestle with Wood to release her wrist. "Evie, I don't want you seeing him again or anyone else for that matter, not until you are fifty-six at least." He finished on a lighter tone followed by a smile. Evie was having none of it though.
"You can talk, you've been chatting up Katie ever since we got here and it sickens me!" I have no idea how I got dragged into it.
"Yeah well, that's different..." Did Wood just admit he's been chatting me up?
I didn't get to hear the rest of the argument since they went off talking in Gaelic, that's their first language, the village where they live is Gaelic speaking. It's one of like twenty Gaelic speaking places left in Scotland and it coasts a bomb to live there. Wood's Dad is mayor of the town in the muggle world and Minister Of Magic for Scotland so he's quite famous. They are in the paper nearly every week or so, so they all have to not be caught doing disgraceful things in pubic, I pity them.
Once they had finished arguing, I got dragged off once again by Wood, he was almost crying. He sniffled a bit and then turned to face me. Finally, he hugged me. He hugged me. My first reaction was to push him away but he just tightened his grip on me, in the end I gave up and hugged him back. I rested my head on his chest and listened to his heart beat. It was... nice. I was actually enjoying it more than I thought. I smiled as he pulled me closer to him, what am I thinking, he's a selfish arrogant twat and I hate his guts out...do I?
As we hugged, my head and my heart argued on whether I should stop hugging him or not, then my head won and I pulled away but as I looked into his eyes, my heart won. He took my hands in his and smiled. As he did so I could feel are mothers looking at us in awe but I wasn't bothered, I had Wood wrapped around my finger and I was wrapped around his.
He pulled me over to the car which was waiting for us and opened the door for me. I don't know why me and … Oliver are now acting like we are in a relationship, cause we are not. I kinda like it, I guess although its a little weird...
I still cant get off of my head why we were travelling the muggle way, we don't normally, we normally apparate. Maybe there has been another law change or something, whatever it is, I can't get it off my head. As we set off I decided to ask Oliver. "Ol',why are we driving there anyway why can't we apparate?"
He answered almost immediately. "Because the people of Scander's head"- that's where he lives by the way- "are getting suspicious of us so we are keeping magic on a down low, that answer your question?"
I nodded and concentrated on the road ahead. It was an hour drive through loads of hills, woods and lakes and time went fast until I felt Oliver's hand slip into mine, then time stopped altogether.
Wow, that's probably the shortest chapter I have ever written but I took me the longest, dunno why?
