Chapter 7

Dear Oliver,

Juicy news! Tiannah has a boyfriend. It's Theo Jackson! I know, he's 16, but they really like each other! Yay! It's so cute! Well, just thought I would let you know,

Hestia

Oliver was in a foul mood all day when he finished reading the letter. He didn't even know why. He had a girlfriend, why couldn't Tiannah date?

Any letters that Tiannah sent to Oliver were ignored and sent back, unopened. She had no idea what she had done wrong! Oliver was her best friend. Nothing could come between that, could it?

Tiannah kept sending Oliver letters, until one day, he responded.

Tiannah,

Stop contacting me. I really have better things to do than talk to you. You're not the only person who can date, you know. You have sent so many letters that it seems pathetic, okay? Don't write to me again.

Oliver

Tiannah cried herself to sleep the night that Oliver sent that letter.

Oliver didn't write to Tiannah again for two years.

And there was no denying that Tiannah suffered. She really liked Theo, but she needed her best friend. That year, they lost the Quidditch match, but Salem still won because of the other teams in different years. Tiannah was appointed captain at the end of the year, which she was very happy about.

"I have to tell Oli-" but then she cut off. Oliver didn't want her to write letters anymore, and she stopped trying.

It seemed so weird that Oliver didn't want to be friends anymore. Hestia said that even the closest of friends drift apart, especially if the best friend was a boy, as they can be very stupid and shallow.

On the last day of her third year, she and Theo had a very heated kissing session. Tiannah put all the anger she felt towards Oliver in it, and Theo pulled away.

"Wow," he said, smirking.

"Well, I'm not going to see you all summer," she lied.

But she decided to stay for summer, as did Hestia. It took a lot of begging, but her parents agreed. Hestia was bitter.

"Honestly, my parents don't give a fuck about me or what I do," she said sadly. Tiannah comforted her now best friend.

Tiannah's fourth year was horrible. Sure, she had an amazing boyfriend, was the captain of the fourth year team, and had Hestia, her best friend. She was over her anger at Oliver. It was now a deep sadness.

Oliver didn't receive any letters from Tiannah that year. His parents wondered why Oliver was so bitter all the time, and how he never mentioned Tiannah. He felt as though he didn't need Tiannah and she didn't need him. Therefore, his fourth year was, in his opinion, shitty. He was the captain, he found new chasers and beaters, and he had a girlfriend, Diana Green. She was nice and all, but he missed Tiannah.

Tiannah refused to go home that year again. Her parents and her little brother, Ben, who was four, went to America.

"Why didn't you want to go home?" Ben asked.

"Because I never want to see Oliver's face again," she spat. Hestia, who had been offered to tag along, gave her friend a comforting glance.

"Why?" Ben asked.

"Benny, he is a self centered, arrogant, lying, stupid jerk!" she hissed angrily. She gave her parents a look, to say not to mention it. The magical village that The Institute was in was bustling with witches and wizards. The nearby villages, holding the two other magical schools, were smaller. Tiannah started to tell her parents about the villages, Hestia adding bits in. Hestia thought that Mr and Mrs Summers were better parents than hers had ever been, and the Summers' treated Hestia like a daughter. Tiannah continued to talk when someone put two hands on her waist. She shot around and grinned when she saw that it was Theo. He had finished school now, but he stayed on as tutor, though Tiannah didn't really need it.

"Mum, Dad, this is my Quidditch tutor, Theo Jackson," Tiannah began confidently. They shook hands, and Theo began to speak.

"Your daughter is an amazing chaser. The best I've seen in years."

Tiannah squirmed pleasurably. "I'm not that good."

Hestia looked at her modest friend.

"Yes, you are, Tia!" Hestia said, going on about how good she was, then changing the subject to how Theo and Tiannah were very good friends. Tiannah nudged Hestia but she went on to her interested parents.

"Yeah, Theo is eighteen, but they are very close."

Tiannah turned pink.

"Can we go somewhere else?" Theo whispered into her ear. Tiannah nodded and Theo placed a hand on her shoulder. "Er, we are just going to discuss Quidditch tactics. Yeah, I am the captain so, yeah," Tiannah muttered feebly, as her parents smirked. The couple walked for a while, and then they found a tree and started kissing behind it. Theo placed a hand on her waist and one on her cheek, kissing her deeply and sweetly. Tiannah ran her fingers through his blonde hair, and got a vision of her doing it to Oliver. What are you thinking! she told herself. Theo pulled away.

"You are beautiful," he whispered. Tiannah smiled and grabbed his collar, forcing his mouth back onto her own.
