A/N: Waves nervously Hello, remember this story? Well it's all pretty simple, Oliver and Ginny are dating, Oliver plays Quidditch and my obsession with the Weasley twins knows no bounds. Tell you what just check previous chapters if you feel confused or ask me.
So I'm back and as a very lame attempt at an apology for not updating for months I've done an extra long chapter, enjoy

'Well done everybody that went very well' Ginny beamed round the small group consisting of Oliver, Izzy, Derek and Paddy who were all stood in the grand entrance hall of Beaubaxtons having just finished giving a talk there
'But we didn't do anything' Paddy pointed out looking rather confused
'Yeah we just sat there while Izzy answered every single question even if they weren't for her' Derek added
'You're just jealous that I'm more popular than you' Izzy said with a very high and mighty tone
'They only asked you because you speak French' Derek informed Izzy
'No I'm a hero to my fellow French wizards, it's just you English ones who don't appreciate my brilliance' Izzy was very clearly not going to accept anyone else's point of view
'Oh brother, I feel sorry for the guy who spends his life with you' Derek said with a slight smirk as Ginny and Oliver rolled their eyes at yet another argument between the beater and seeker
'I'm just glad it won't be you'
'Something I'm equally thankful for'
'Ahem guys' Paddy cleared his throat loudly as Derek and Izzy continued to glare at each other
'What?' Derek and Izzy both snapped at once
'We have a visitor' Ginny said gesturing to a small girl about 13 or 14 years old who stood nearby looking rather nervous
'Erm hallo, I am not interrupting am I?' the girl took a very timid step forward as though afraid that another argument might be about to commence
'Of course not can we help you?' Izzy turned and gave a smile, which showed every one of her perfect teeth, Jared would have been very proud
'Me and my friends were wondering if possibly we may be having an autograph from you Mademoiselle' the student said slowly struggling a bit with some words as her friends giggled nervously a few metres away
'Absolutely. You speak English very well' Izzy complimented as she signed the scraps of parchment with a flourish, the girl flushed furiously with pleasure
'Thank you, I'm top of my class at it'
'There you go' Izzy held out the quill and parchment
'Thank you very much. My friends wanted me to tell you that you are our hero' the girl blushed even more as she clutched the piece of signed parchment as though it was her life
'Oh well I'm ok I guess, it wouldn't be possible without the rest of the team though' Izzy said with a modesty that startled the other players especially Derek who would have sworn that Izzy would have danced around singing I-told-you-so
'Oh but you're the star. Although he's quite cute' the girl wasn't pointing at a picture of Jared, or even Oliver, she meant Derek, who himself looked rather surprised as the girl rushed back to her giggling group of friends. Izzy turned to look at Derek with some interest and everyone expected another argument to break out but instead she just smiled slightly and tossed her hair back as she muttered
'Isn't he just'

'Right so you have the rest of the day off, but you all need to be back at the portkey at mid-day tomorrow and don't be late' Ginny said as the group reached the front of a very posh hotel
'Excellent, let's go check out that strip-club now Derek' Paddy said as he turned to go
'WHAT?' Ginny shrieked sounding remarkable like her mother
'Calm down, I'm just joking' Paddy turned back laughing at the look on Ginny's face
'You English and your terrible sense of humour' Izzy said shaking her head in exasperation
'Ok, you can do what you like but stay out of trouble, don't get into any situations that might compromise the club and yourselves' Ginny said as she calmed down
'Will do, see you later' Derek said with a grin
'Bye' Izzy said briefly before disappearing off to wherever it was she went while in France
'Oli, you wanna come get drunk with us' Paddy offered
'Maybe later' Oliver replied as he glanced briefly at Ginny who to her credit remained looking completely neutral
'Your loss' Paddy said with a shrug as he raced after Derek
'So Miss Weasley can I ask your professional advice' Oliver turned to Ginny with a wicked grin that wouldn't have looked out of place on Fred or George, Ginny raised an eyebrow wondering what he was up to
'Fire away'
'Would it be a compromising situation if the club captain wanted to whisk his girlfriend away for a romantic meal later tonight' Oliver grin faded slightly when Ginny paused before answering briefly not looking as thrilled as he'd hoped
'I think that could only be seen as a wonderfully sweet gesture providing she agreed' Ginny answered slowly only because she was having trouble digesting the fact that Oliver was not only handsome, clever, funny, sweet but romantic as well
'In that case would you agree to accompany me to dinner tonight?' Oliver's grin started to grow again
'I'd be delighted to'
'Great so in the meantime we can go and look at those new racing brooms' Oliver switched back to his other great love, otherwise known as all things Quidditch
'Or we can find a wedding present for Lee and Katie' Ginny suggested in a tone that said Oliver better agree with her
'We didn't even go to the wedding, why get them a present?' Oliver protested ignoring the tone in Ginny's voice
'Because they're our friends' Ginny explained slowly
'Well I think they'd love a new racing broom to share' Oliver continued to be stubborn, which every single Weasley brother could have told him was really not a good approach to go for and this occasion was no exception as Ginny narrowed her eyes and stretched slowly before saying in a very light voice
'I'm suddenly starting to feel less hungry'.
At this thinly veiled threat Oliver did what all men in a serious relationship do best, he backtracked
'How about we go find a nice wedding present for Lee and Katie' Oliver suggested with a very lame smile as he offered Ginny his arm
'What a wonderful idea' Ginny beamed one of her best smiles that melted Oliver to puddles every time and sauntered off with Oliver wondering how exactly he'd back down so quickly

A few hours later and Ginny could be found dragging a very reluctant Oliver by the hand up to what he assumed was every single shop within the city of Paris
'Oh Oliver look at this adorable little puppy' Ginny squealed as she saw a pet-shop across the street
'Adorable? Only if you like the ugly squashed up nose look' Oliver said in amazement, making faces at the little Bulldog who didn't pay him any attention
'I'm dating you aren't I?' Ginny said still apparently absorbed with cooing at the dog
'Hey'
'Only joking, you know you're gorgeous' Ginny patted him affectionately on the arm as she stood back up
'So are you'
But I'm not the one who that waitress wanted to take home' Ginny said rather dryly referring to an incident that had happened when Oliver and Ginny had gone for a coffee at a muggle café only to find it was staffed by witches who were apparently big Cannon's fans
'She wasn't that bad' Oliver really was too nice for his own good sometimes, as even Jared who loved attention would have told this particular witch to get lost and then taken out a restraining order against her, however Oliver had merely sat there smiling meekly
'Oh really?' Ginny asked as she began to imitate in a high-pitched voice 'Monsieur Wood you're my favourite Quidditch player ever, you're even better looking in person than I dreamed possible, my mother would love to meet you, I don't suppose you'd like to come home with me to meet her? You can stay for the night if you want'
Ginny finished with an over the top dramatic squeal and sent Oliver a rather pointed look as he squirmed uncomfortably
'Ok she was slightly scary but I think you scared her witless when you told her she'd be smelling like a swamp if she, and I quote, ever laid her filthy little boyfriend stealing paws on me ever again' Oliver hit back smirking as she blushed slightly
'What can I say, I have a possessive streak' Ginny smiled shrugging
'That's fine with me, cos there's nowhere I'd rather be than with you' Oliver whispered in her ear as he slung his arm over Ginny's shoulder and prepared to face another row of endless shops

'That was a delicious meal' Ginny thanked Oliver as they left a very posh French restaurant that they had just eaten at
'Was it? I didn't really notice' Oliver had spent the entire meal picking at whatever he'd ordered
'Well I told you that you wouldn't like snails' Ginny pointed out
'It wasn't the food, I was just too busy watching you to even notice the food' Oliver explained, Ginny had come to dinner in a light violet coloured dress that had had Oliver receiving many envious glances throughout the night. As for Oliver himself it was all he could do to stop himself singing songs of praise that this magnificent woman was actually dating him
'Why, is the sight of me eating really that entrancing?' Ginny asked rather taken aback by this frank confession
'Yes, everything you do entrances me, I can't believe I almost lost you to Jared' Oliver for some reason felt as though he could confess his life secrets to Ginny without being scared
'You were never going to lose me, believe me everyday I thank whatever God it was that to give me these last few months with you' Ginny was holding back a few tears that had built up at Oliver's words as she said this
'I've just realised' Oliver said in wonder as flashlights and fireworks suddenly went off in his head
'What?' Ginny asked in surprise
'I know this might sound sudden and maybe you think I say this to every girl I date, but I don't, I've never said this before but Ginny I'm completely madly in love with you' Oliver babbled out quickly, his words almost tripping over each other as Oliver hurried to get them out
'Oh' Ginny's eyes grew very wide
'Oh good or oh bad?' Oliver asked anxiously, not sure what he'd do if Ginny rejected him
'Good, definitely good. You see this is the kind of thing that terrifies me, because this could be so right and I'm so in love with you that it scares me' Ginny stopped walking as she realised they'd reached the floor the team was staying on
'Well it doesn't scare me, I wouldn't want to miss a second of it' Oliver said sincerely as he stared at Ginny with an intensity that seemed to burn through her but she held his gaze. And suddenly Oliver took everything left of his nerves and lent forward to kiss Ginny on the lips, it was short and in typical Oliver fashion sweet. He pulled back to see her reaction and had to wait only seconds when Ginny who had to stand on tiptoes pulled him back down into a much more passionate sizzling kiss that seemed to go on forever.
A porter heading down the corridor saw the young couple and was overcome with a sense that this was a special sacred moment that shouldn't be disturbed and for the first time in 27 years he didn't use floor 17 as a short-cut, instead he backed away quietly.
'So this is my room' Oliver said quietly when they finally broke apart a considerable length of time later
'I know I booked them' Ginny reminded him smiling slightly
'Oh right yeah' Oliver chuckled lightly as he rubbed his neck nervously shifting from one foot to another, eventually clearing his throat as he thought of what he'd like to say next. However Ginny took matters into her own hands
'Oliver are you going to ask me in or just stand there all night?'
'Do you want me to ask you?' Oliver asked surprised with Ginny's forwardness, wondering if it was some kind of test
'Yes' Ginny said smiling and Oliver grinned back happily before finally opening the door to his suite

At 11.50am the next morning two red-haired men were stood on the very outskirts of Beaubaxtons at the designated portkey stop, before the taller and lankier of the two spotted someone they were waiting for
'Ginny over here' he yelled waving his arms and attracting her attention
'Bill, Charlie why are you here?' Ginny asked as she gave both her oldest brothers hugs with delight
'Mum wrote and said you were visiting here, so we thought we'd come and see you off' Charlie explained, his mother's letter had been more of a command to make sure that little Ginny was safe in the big scary city and he'd never being one to disobey Molly Weasley
'That's lovely, but Bill you're meant to be on an entirely different continent'
'I'm staying with Charlie for a holiday for a while' Bill explained trying to look nonchalant as he shrugged; however Charlie gave a rather indignant snort
'Don't believe a word he says, he's only staying here so he can make up excuses to visit Beauxbaxtons Charms teacher' Charlie explained Bill's real motives causing his older brother to mutter threats that Charlie merely smiled at
'For heavens sake Bill just ask Fleur out, everyone knows she likes you' Ginny said with an exasperated sigh, Bill and Fleur had to be the most stubborn people she'd ever met, they were forever making excuses to see each other and then denying they even liked each other
'I happen to like the French countryside, it wouldn't bother me if Fleur decided to teach in Australia' Bill said with a perfected air of dignity, both his siblings were ready to argue with him but Bill was saved from embarrassment by the arrival of Oliver and Izzy
'Yeah, whatever' Charlie rolled his eyes
'Hey Ginny' Oliver said as he walked forwards and gave her a kiss on the cheek, Ginny grinned back happily at him 'Hello Bill, Charlie'
'What's with the kissing thing?' Bill asked in surprise
'Yeah is the French atmosphere getting to you? English blokes don't kiss' Charlie informed Oliver, especially as Oliver had never really struck him as the over-emotional type
'Except that one on TV, you know the one who kisses all his guests' Bill pointed out, he'd acquired a muggle TV from his father
'Oh that gay one' Charlie said remembering the guy Bill was referring to, Izzy who was nearby rolled her eyes at yet more typical Englishmen and went back to filing her nails
'Bloody hell, what is with your family thinking I'm gay? I don't go around kissing men, in fact I don't even kiss woman, I'm only interested in kissing one person and that's Ginny' Oliver said sounding rather peeved
'Oh are you two screwing?' Izzy suddenly looked up in interest, her nails forgotten
'Hey that's my sister you're talking about' Bill said glaring at Izzy was intense dislike
'Oh dear, iz zat not ze correct word? Izzy reverted to her fallback plan of when in trouble always pretend you can't speak the language, when in actual fact she spoke English just as well as she spoke French she just used crude language
'Ginny?' Charlie asked suspiciously
'Oliver and I are dating' Ginny said trying to make it sound like it wasn't a big deal, although she still remembered how Charlie had sufficiently scared her previous boyfriend with talk of fire-breathing dragons that she'd never seen the poor guy again
'You haven't got married in secret or anything have you?' Bill asked in alarm as Derek and Paddy arrived out of breath panting having apparently run all the way
'No that's Lee and Katie' Ginny said
'Well I think me and Bill should have a little chat with Oliver' Charlie grinned rather like a shark as he moved towards Oliver who gulped visibly
'No you won't, we have to catch the portkey now' Ginny said firmly as she grabbed Oliver's arm and pulled him out of her brother's reach with the other Quidditch players following
'Fine, we'll have that talk soon Oliver' Bill shouted after them in a menacing voice, Oliver was very grateful to clasp the portkey as he made a very firm mental note to stay away from all of Ginny's brothers for as long as humanly possible, he reckoned that about twenty years should do the trick. But the Weasley's were an extremely resourceful stubborn bunch when it came to getting what they wanted, as Oliver was about to discover
