Part Nine
You're happy everything worked out in time. You basically tear into your closet and dresser to find some jewellery that might go with the dress, when you see the locket Oliver gave you dangling from your neck. It matches the same silver on your dress. You decide to wear it. Yet you think that you can't be a fairy with out a tiara. "Urgh…this isn't the best way to be doing everything the night before." You think. You dig until you find a very pretty, not too extravagant yet elegant tiara it has a tiny three diamond pattern with a heart at the top. You decide to take it also. The last thing you find is a pair of earrings that have hearts dangling at the bottom. "This is as good as it's gonna get." You think. You're shoes are ready; they are silver high heel sandals with sparkles around the work.
You get everything set then put it away. You're just exhausted from looking for everything. So you decide to go for dinner. There you see Oliver, Fred, George and Harry and Ron playing a game of exploding snap. They see you as you walk in. "So are you finally ready for the dance?" asks George laughing a bit. "Yeah…shh don't tell Angelina." You say laughing a bit too. "Yea I know, she nearly had a cow when she came down after you told her you didn't have anything ready." Said Fred. You take a seat in between Fred and Harry; you're across from Ron and Oliver. "Want to play a game?" asks Ron. "Nah I'll just watch." You tell him.
As they continue to play, they all notice how you and Oliver haven't said or looked at each other at all. "By any chance you both aren't umm…giving each other…the silent treatment….are you?" whispers Fred. "No we're not." You tell him quietly. "Ok good, just wondering." He says.
After you have finished eating, all of you go back to the common room. You find Angelina, who looks like she's going to explode. "Angelina, if you're worried about the dress, don't, cause I got the perfect one." You tell her very fast. She relaxes. "Well let's see it." "Nope, you'll see it tomorrow. It's a surprise for everyone." You tell her. She's not exactly happy to hear that, but she'll live.
You about to open the door when you hear your name being called. You turn to see Oliver standing there. "Hey Oliver." You say. "Hey." He replies. You close the door to your room. He comes closer to you. He seems to be under the impression you're angry at him. "Why would I be angry at you?" you ask. "I don't know, the whole silent treatment thing, umm…. not talking to you at dinner." He says. You smile "I'm not angry, ok, cause frankly I'm too tired to start up a conversation at all right now. I just want to go sleep." You tell him. He laughs at that, you see his eyes twinkle. "Well are you ready for tomorrow?" he asks. "Yea pretty much. What about you? Do you have everything ready?" you ask him. "Well almost…I mean the dance is tomorrow at like 8, so I have time." He tells you in a confident tone. "Ok well umm…goodnight I guess." You say. "Yea goodnight!" he replies. He comes towards you and gives you a hug and leaves. You watch him head back down stairs. You go into your room and sink into your bed. I need to get a pet you make mental note. A cat...white...no claws…yea! You keep thinking about it, until you fall asleep.
Oliver's Journal
Okay I admit it. I still feel badly about what happened. Had she not said yes to going with me to the dance…I might've just gone crazy. What bugs me the most is that what am I going to do. I need to do something special for her to see how much I love her.
I mean, I want ----- to remember this dance out of everything else this year. Or not…I'll make sure I do something…but what?!?!
How about after the dance we take a walk of the grounds, then I'll walk her up to my room and we'll have a candle lit midnight snack….urgh that sounds stupid…I mean it has to be something she would fancy doing.
…but what…I'll just keep the idea, you never know, I mean come on no one else has ever thought of it…I think.
Anyways I'll sleep on it
Oliver
