Oliver stood with a very large group of third year students before him waiting for the all the students to come forward with their permission slips if they needed. After a few more minutes passed they made their way to hogsmeade. Oliver let the group of student go before him so he could keep an eye on all the students. Once in the back of the group of third years he noticed Lacex walking by herself with a earbud in one ear. He made his way over to her and walked beside her. "So tell me why are you walking down with all the third years?"
Lacex jumped a little bit not noticing anyone had walked up beside her. "Just the timing I guess." She said pulling out her earbud. "So how did you get suckered into baby sitting these kids?"
"Well to be honest I volunteered, all i can do to keep myself busy while I am here." Oliver said keeping her pace with hers, his eyes not leaving the group in front of him. Last night he couldn't help but notice how much she had grown psychically since he had seen her last, he knew his eyes had to stay off this girl as much as possible otherwise his mind would wonder to things a professor shouldn't think about their students.
"Keep your mind off what happened? Sorry about what happened by the way... I thought the other players might have warned you about the daughter of the teams owner... She isnt the nicest person in the world once you break up with her." Lacex said not being able to keep her mouth shut on the matter. She looked up at his face and saw pain come over his features. "Sorry for bringing it up." She said softly letting her eyes shift to her feet.
"Its not a problem, I should have known better, but temptation is a bitch." He said with a laugh. "Don't tell anyone I said that to you." He said shaking his head as he looked into her beautiful purple eyes.
"I've got your back Professor Wood, dont you worry about it, I'll see you around, maybe we can talk Quittich some time." Lacex said once they were to Hogsmeade.
"I look forward to it." Oliver said as Lacex walked over to the Animal Alcove to look say hello to her future pet. Walking to the back of the store she walked straight up to an all black cat with a silver line down its face.
"Hey Lena." She said to the cat who awoke from her nap as soon as hearing Lacex's voice. Lena the cat stretched out its body before walking to the side of the cage Lacex stood by. The cat was a rare breed, Savannah, which her parents weren't willing to give her the Galleons to get the cat. Lacex spent about three hours with her cat before Draco came up behind her.
"Figured I would find you here spending time With Lena." Draco said sitting down on another pillow beside her.
Lacex once again jumped not noticing his presents before he spoke. "Goodness how many times an I going to be scared today." Lacex giggled out.
"Oh I didnt mean to startle you." Draco said petting Lena, she let out a soft purr at his touch as she laid on Lacex's lap. "but I came by because your besty is sitting at the bar waiting for you I assume and she looks pretty irritated." Draco continued to pet Lena as he spoke.
"Oh My God. She is going to kill me. I've got to go listen to her talk about her day shopping." Lacex said making a sick face.
Draco couldn't help but let out a laugh as he watched his friend, Picking up Lena out of her lap he spoke, "I'll put Lena away, You go your already late and we all know how Lily can get."
"Thank you Draco, I'll get you back later." Lacex said before making her way out of the store. Draco looked down at the very large cat. It was as large as a large breed dog. Truely a beautiful cat and Draco hated cats. Walking up to the counter he looked at the shop clerk. "I would like to purchase this cat please." Draco said with a smile on his face.
"But Mr. Malfoy Ms. Lexington has had this cat on hold for five years now. I'm not sure I would want to do that to her, or why you might want to do such a thing to her as she is a friend of yours." The shop keeper spoke with sadness in his eyes as he spoke.
"Yes for five years... You know she is never going to come in here with that money. I am willing to give you extra for not holding him anymore and I am also willing to pay you to not tell her who bought Lena." Draco sad letting the cat down but holding onto her leash. He pulled out a bag of galleons. "There is twenty thousand galleons in there, that should cover it all I think."
The shop keepers eyes got wide looking from the galleons Draco had now poured out on the counter to Draco. "Alright just let me get you the supplies she will need for the next couple of months." The shop Keeper spoke pulling the galleons toward himself catching them in his cloak before disappearing to the back room for a few minutes, He came back hands empty. Before Draco could ask the Shop Keeper spoke. "If you dont want her to know i suggest you come this way. I have a tunnel that connects to honeydukes cellar and there is a passage that goes to the castle."
"Thank you." Draco spoke before making his way to the back with Lena. In about and hour he had made it up to the girls dorm room with Lena without being seen, or at least without Lena not being seen. He went into Lacex and Lily's, thankfully, empty room and set up Lena bed next to Lacex's. Lena wondered around just Lacex's part of the room smelling her mom all over but not able to find her. "She will be here soon." Draco said kneeling beside her petting between her ears calming her down a bit. Draco set out some food for her and a big bowl of water. "See you later." He spoke to the cat before he made his way out to Quittich practice out at the pitch.
Getting to the Pitch he looked around and saw the whole team including the whore towel girl, except Lacex. She was never late for a Practice, normally she was the first one on the field and the last one to leave. "So where is Lacex?" He asked the team.
"Who cares she doesnt do anything around here anyway but tease us." Crab laughed.
Draco walked up to him and got right into his face. "She would do a whole hell of alot more around here if you guys would just listen to her once during a game and use one of her plays during a damn game you might get the hint." Draco said his anger rising with the comment. "I WANT 100 LAPS AROUND THIS PITCH RUNNING! FOR LAST NIGHTS SHITTY PREFORMACE!" Draco yelled so everyone would hear. "I'm charming the pitch so I know how many times each one of you pass the start point, which will be here line up!" The team did what he said with moans and groans. Draco charmed the pitch then yelled, "GO!" and off theu went around the pitch.
