Chapter 7 (An Unforgettable train ride)
The next few days Oliver and I were interrogated by the twins and the girls about what might have happened in the closet. When we told them that nothing happened all they would say was
"uh huh" "yeah right" "of course" "We won't tell anyone, just tell us the truth".
Once they got Oliver really angry that he was about to make them leave his house. But two days before school started the twins left to stay with their family at the Leaky Cauldron, Angelina and Katie left the day before becuase both of them had younger siblings that were going to start Hogwarts this year so their parents asked for them to take care of them.
--The Last day of Vacation--
"Oliver, honey lets go!!" Mrs. Wood was yelling from downstairs.
"You to Bella, get down here!" My Mom joined in.
"We're coming!"I answered for both Oliver and me becuase I am currently in him room helping him do some last minute packing.
"At least this is our last year and we won't have to worry about packing our things again." He added cooly grabbing a Puddlemore United Quidditch poster.
"Yeah, we won't be going to back to Hogwarts again." I added sadly, "There, done." I closed his trunk and we both levatated our stuff downstairs. We used floo powder to get to the Leaky Cauldron, and from there we used a car to get to the station because our mothers were too afraid to let us apprate.
--At the station, on Platform 9 3/4--
"Remember Bella, this is your last year at Hogwarts so do your best, it will only help in your future." My dad was lecturing me,"You to Oliver, do your best and good luck with Quidditch." He added.
"Write to me after to get to school, ok Honey?" Oliver's mom asked.
"I always do mum." He said giving her a quick hug.
"Bella, you do the same, before we start worrying about you." I mom said puling me into a tight hug.
"ALL ABOARD!!" Yelled the conductor.
"Come on Bella, lets go." Oliver said grabbing my hand and pulling me to the train.
"Bye mum, bye dad...bye Mr. and Mrs. Wood!!" I said waving backwards. We got on the train and started searching for a compartment when the train started moving.
The sudden movement of the train caused me to lurch forward and bump into Oliver sending him flying forward into the compartment which was closest to him.
"Well, well, well. Look at what we have here." Said none other than Marcus Flint. Oliver jumped up inbetween Flint and I.
"What do you want Flint?" Oliver asked him sourly.
"You tell me. You two are the ones that came into OUR compartment." He said sneering.
"Like we wanted to." I added from behind Oliver.
"My, my, my, Bella. Haven't you gotten prettier over the summer." He said looking me up and down.
"You have no right to call me Bella, Flint." I sneered at him.
"I think you should learn some manners towards the one you LOVE." He said coming closer to me and pushing Oliver aside.
"Get away from me you freak!" I yelled pushing him away. He suddenly froze, and behind him I saw that Oliver had his wand out.
"Come on Bella, Lets go." He said taking me by the elbow and pulling me out of the compartment. From behind us I could hear the concerened voices of the slytherins.
"There you two are." I heard the reliefed Angelina say from in front of us.
"Come in here." said George poking his head from the compartment beside us.
"What took you two so long?" asked Fred.
"Flint." Was all I had to say and that got everyone started.
"You always find a way to run into him don't you?" Katie began.
"First year you walked straight into him, second year he walked into the changing room while you were trying to come out..." Fred began, but George continued for him.
"Third year him and his friend's kiddnapped you and took you to their compartment, fourth year he cornered you at the end of the train, fifth year he almost made you fall out of the train..." George paused taking in a deep breath. "
Sixth year he tried to take advantage of you when you were alone in the compartment waiting for us, and now this." Oliver said shaking his head in disapointment.
"It's not like it was planned, he always finds a way to run into me." I told them.
"Well start being more careful!" Oliver said in a loud voice.
"I'm sorry." I whispered soflty. Our compartment because no one seemed to know what to say to Oliver when he got angry. It was usually me that calms him down but in this situation, I'm the one that he is mad at.
"Start to learn to look out for yourself, who knows when he will run into you again, and none of us might be around Bella." Oliver said getting angrier.
I couldn't understand why he was getting mad at me.
I didn't do anything to get him angry...did I?
"Why are you yelling at me? I didn't do anything ok!" I said trying to hold back the tears that were in my eyes.
"Well what else am do you expect me to do? It seems like this is all planned...every year you always find a way to 'run into him', is there something going on between you and him?" He asked looking at me angryily.
"How can you accuse me of having a relationship with Flint? You've known me for as long as I can remember, you've always been part of my life. I would expect you out of all people to know me well enough to know that no such thing would ever happen in a 100 years." I said standing up and facing Oliver who was a moment before sitting next to me.
"I'll see you later Wood." I replied coldly leaving the compartment. As soon as I got out I swear I heard a huge 'thud' from inside.
What has gotten into him, he seemed fine when we got to the station, I can't stand being mad at him..it's never happened before. Hope there's a way to fix it, but one things for sure. I AM NOT GOING TO MAKE THE FIRST MOVE!
--Oliver's POV--
"I am such an idiot." I said hitting my head against the back door making a relly loud noice and hurting my self. "She is really really mad at me."
"How do you know she's mad at you? Fred asked me.
"How do I know?...well for one she called me Wood, and second the most obovious, she just walked out of the compartment after yelling at me." I answered him.
"Go after her mate, something tells me that she is not going to come back." George advised Oliver.
"I guess I should." I answered getting up from my seat.
"Don't even thing about coming back without Bella, we won't let you in." Angelina warned me while I was leaving the compartment.
God damn it! Where is she! All of the other compartments are full.
I was reaching the end of the train when I saw that in one of the last two compartments, one contained Harry Potter ans his friends.
"Hey, have any of you seen Bella walk by?" I asked the trio.
"Yes we did, I think she's in the last compartment Wood." Harry answered still staring at the ground.
"Thank you." I answered quickly and walked into the next compartment.
--Bella's POV--
I don't know how long I've been sitting here by my self crying my eyes out and leaving my face tear stained. But i realized that it has been getting colder and colder and now i felt sorrowful, i hate it.
"Bella." said a thick accent coated voice. "Please look at me." they said kneeling down in front of me.
"Why? what did I do to make you yell at me like that." I whispered out trying to hold back my tears.
He grabbed my hands in his and a felt warmth and slightly happier.
"I'm sorry, its just that I can't stand Flint, you know that." He said squeezing my hands, "Its just...complicated Bella, I don't know how to explain it to you." Oliver said turning his face away from me.
"Try to explain Oliver, I promise I'll try to understand, Please." I started crying again, "I don't want to fight with you, it makes me feel like I'm going to loose everything in my life, and its not pleasant." Now the tears were trailing down my face and onto our hands.
"Shhhhhh, don't cry." Oliver said whipping away the tears from my face, "I promise I WILL try to explain to you why I reacted in such a way, but not today. You might be ready, but I'm not." Oliver said lifting my head up with my chin.
He got up and sat next to me and I automatically reasted my head on to his chest and he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him and making me feel warm. Slowly my eyes started to give up on me and i soon feel asleep listening to Oliver's stead heart beat.
"Oliver!"
"Bella"
"Where are you guys?!"
Fimilar voices yelling for me and Oliver...whats going on?
I slowly opened my eyes to find that the train stopped and that we were at Hogwarts. Then all of the sudden the compartment door burst open and Katie and Angelina ran in, closley followed by Fred and George.
"There you guys are!" George yelled startling Oliver up.
"Wha...whats going on." He said in a sleep voice.
"We're at Hogwarts mister, thats whats up, and these frantice children seem to have been searhing for us and now, they found us." I said look at my dearly beloved friends, "Now that means that we need to get up and off of the train and into Hogwarts. Now UP!" I said jumping up from my seat.
"Are you to ok?" Angelina asked us.
"Of course we're ok, why do you ask?" I said back.
"Well, did your realize that dementors came onto the train in search of Sirius Black. Could you not feel them?" Katie said.
"No, I did feel sad before Oliver found me, but after he did, everything seemed fine." I said
"What about you Oliver?" Katie asked.
"No, nothing really...but i was upset since i couldn't find Bella, after I did, I was happy." He answered.
"Odd, really weird." George said.
"Come on, we better get off of the train, before it starts to leave the station." Fred said walking out of the compartment with everyone else following him.
Thats odd, Oliver and I couldn't feel the dementors in each others presense, but while we were apart we could feel them. I think i should do some reseach on that.
By now the carriages brought us to the enterance of Hogwarts and to the beginning of our last year here.
