Listen to Your Heart
Chapter 9
Professor McGonagall chuckled as she watched Jazzira chase Oliver through the gates. She was in her office grading some papers in front of the window, so she could see them clearly. She was snapped to the present when Dumbledore cleared his throat.
"Minerva, it seems that we have some trouble." he said. "The portrait of the Fat Lady has been slashed. She told me that it was Sirius Black and that he was in the castle. I've brought all of the students into the Grand Hall. I need you to come with me and the other professors so we can do a thorough search of the castle." McGonagall nodded and quickly followed him.
"Albus, there are two students still outside. Jazzira Snape and Oliver Wood. It seems that they were in Hogsmead." she said.
"Get them into the Great Hall as quickly as possible." he said calmly as he went to gather the rest of the professors. She nodded and hurried to the front doors.
"Oliver, Jazzira! You have to get into the Great Hall quickly!" she said as they ran up the steps.
"Professor McGonagall, what's wrong?" Jazzi asked when she saw how flustered and nervous the usually calm professor was.
"It seems that Sirius Black has gotten into Hogwarts." she said quickly. "Now follow me please." Jazzi gasped and Oliver held her tightly as they hurried into the Great Hall. They quickly spotted Fred and George by their bright red hair and hurried to get to them.
"Bloody 'bout time you two have showed up!" said Fred, relieved. "We were getting worried." The rest of them nodded. McGonagall walked up to them and handed her and Oliver two squashy purple sleeping bags.
"Get to sleep, Dumbledore, the other professors and I are going to do a search through the castle. Everything should be fine by morning." she said and hurried off to find Dumbledore.
Jazzi gave a frightened look to Oliver as she crawled into the sleeping bag, her back against the wall. "Oliver, I'm scared. I saw all of the wanted posters up in Hogsmead... is he really here?" she asked, shaking slightly. Oliver moved his sleeping bag right next to her and laid down. He got as close as he could to her.
"Don't worry, Jazzi. Dumbledore will protect us if need be. Even if that man got in here, I wont let that murderer anywhere near you." he said as he looked over his shoulder and unzipped his sleeping bag. He motioned her to crawl in beside him. Jazzi crawled out of her sleeping bag as the lights turned out. She looked around and quickly rolled in. Oliver reached down behind her to pull up the zipper, brushing her backside as he started pulling it up. "Sorry." he muttered as he pulled it up the rest of the way.
"Its fine." she said, still shaking a little and turned to face him. Oliver wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to his chest, her back against the wall. She felt safe wrapped in Oliver's arms. She believed that he would protect her with his life if he ever had to. She turned sad as she realized that he was a seventh year and would be graduating at the end of term. She snuggled into his chest and inhaled his calming scent. She shivered again.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm just a little cold thats all." she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He wrapped one of his legs around hers, pulling her completely against him. He winced slightly as her hips pushed into his.
"Sorry." she said. He smiled.
"It's alright. You feel better?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm much warmer now, thank you." she said smiling back at him. He tucked a strand of her light blonde hair back behind her ear. She shivered at the contact. He grinned and lent in. Jazzi smiled as his lips caressed hers. She opened her mouth willingly when his tongue brushed against her lips. She moaned softly and he brought his hands up from her waist to bury into her hair. She felt Oliver jerk. "What's wrong?" she asked softly, pulling away.
"You guys moving a little too much, you keep bumping into me." they heard one of the Weasley twins say.
"Sorry!" they both whispered.
"You didn't have to poke me in the bloody ribs, George." Oliver muttered as he settled back into the sleeping bag. His hands moved back down to her waist as he pulled her against his chest again. "Close your eyes, Jazzi." he whispered and kissed the top of her head softly. He buried his face in her hair, inhaling the sweet scent of strawberries. He sighed contentedly and closed his eyes and fell asleep almost instantly.
Oliver woke up feeling the next morning feeling a little bit too warm. He looked down and saw the light blonde hair his chin was resting on. He looked around and saw that the other students were waking up slowly. He smiled as he wiped the strands of hair from Jazzi's sleeping face.
"Jazzi, Jazzi! Come on wake up, its morning." he said softly as he kissed her forehead. She moaned slightly and looked up at him. She looked around the hall and saw that the other students were all sitting up and talking to eachother.
She yawned and smiled at him.
"Sleep well?" he asked.
"This seems slightly familiar." she smirked. "and yes, I slept just fine." he grinned and kissed her cheek. He reached behind her head and pulled the zipper down, once again coming into contact with her bum. This time she could see his blush clearly and kissed him lightly. She put one of her hands over his and helped him pull the zipper down the rest of the way. She rolled out of the sleeping bag trying not to attract any attention from the other students. She saw that Fred, Angelina, Alicia and George were doing the same. Angelina grinned at her as she rolled out of Fred's sleeping bag, looking quite ruffled. Alicia was the same as she tumbled out of George's.
She stood and felt hands slide smoothly around her from behind. She smiled and leaned back against Oliver's chest. She saw Flint glaring at her from across the hall and she flipped him off in return. Oliver widened his eyes at her and laughed.
"What, im tired. I don't want that creep staring at me." she said as she put her hands over his which were still wrapped around her firmly. He grinned at her and kissed her shoulder. They broke apart when they heard Dumbledore speak.
"Good morning." he said and smiled. "Due to the events of last night I have allowed you all a little sleep in. You will go to your second class of the day in two hours. You will have double of your first class to make up for it on Friday." he said with a twinkle in his eye as the students groaned.
"Damn it all, double potions on a Friday." moaned Fred.
"Well look on the bright side, at least we'll have more time to finish those essays he assigned." said Alicia. "I'm pretty sure that none of us have done it." she grinned. Everyone nodded in response and laughed at eachother. They got up along with the rest of the class and walked up to their common rooms.
Jazzi smiled at Oliver. "Well we still have about an hour and a half. Want to dye your hair now?" she asked. Oliver smiled.
"I suppose so." he said.
"Dye your hair?" asked Angelina. Jazzi nodded.
"Yeah, we decided to pick up some dye when we went to Hogsmead yesterday." she said and grinned. "I got Navy Blue and Oliver got the Mood kind." Angelina's eyes widened.
"This I have to see. Come on, lets all go down to the locker rooms, there's better ventilation there." she said.
"I agree." said George. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't really feel like showing up in Hagrid's class high." he grinned. Everyone laughed and walked downstairs.
It was raining lightly so they hurried into the locker room.
"Ok. So how are we gonna do this?" asked Oliver.
"Well, I'll do your hair first." Jazzi smiled. "It would be easier because your hair is short. It wont take as long as mine."
"How long will mine take?" he asked.
"About fifteen minutes. Mine will take about a half an hour." she replied and grabbed a chair from the back room. "Here, sit in it backwards." she said when she came back. Oliver nodded and sat down with the backrest to his chest, and rested his arms on it. Jazzi suddenly blushed. "Sorry Oliver, but you're going to have to take your shirt off if you don't want to get dye on it." she said, smiling softly. Oliver nodded and made quite a show of pulling off his turtleneck, showing his well-toned arms, chest, and back. Jazzi blushed a little more as she opened the box.
"This'll be interesting." smirked Fred as he sat on one of the benches. Alicia, Angelina, and George grinned and sat on the same bench.
"Bloody.. Eww! What is that smell?" asked Oliver as he covered his nose with his hands.
"That would be the dye." Jazzi said apologetically. "It does smell kind-of strong. It's a good thing that Angelina suggested we come down here. We would've gotten the whole of Gryffindor high." she giggled. Everyone laughed.
"That would've been a sight." said Oliver as he chuckled. He sighed and closed his eyes as he felt her fingers massage the dye into his scalp. Jazzi grinned when she saw this, and added a bit more pressure to the hair against the back of his neck. He sighed again and rested his head against the top of the backrest.
"Ok." Jazzi said. "Dyes all in." she smiled. "Go sit on one of the benches and wait for about ten minutes while I do mine." she said as she walked over to her locker and pulled out a small black tanktop. She walked over to a bathroom stall and changed into it. She walked over to the chair and sat herself down the same way Oliver had. She picked up the box and put on the gloves, then shook up the bottle of dye. She felt Oliver come up behind her.
"Give me the gloves." he said as he took the bottle of dye out of her hands and set it beside him. She smiled and took the gloves off and handed them to him. He put them on and shook the dye bottle again. "You're gonna have to guide me through this." he laughed. Jazzi smiled.
"I could just do it myself Oliver." she said.
"Nah, that's alright." he said. "You gave me a nice little head massage, its only fair that I return the favor."
"Ok then." she said. "Pour some of the dye into your palms and spread it through my hair. You basically repeat that until all of my hair is covered and saturated by the dye." she said. Oliver nodded. She blushed as she felt his naked chest against her back. She sighed as he massaged her head gently. About ten minutes later the dye was all through her hair. "Ok, you go into the boys side of the locker room and wash all of the dye out of your hair. I still have to sit for about fifteen minutes." she smiled.
"Could you help me?" he asked. Jazzi blushed. "I'll wear some shorts I just don't want to get any of this into my eyes." he said. Jazzi nodded.
"We could just do it on this side then." she smiled. He grinned at her and walked over to his own locker, pulling out a pair of black shorts. After he had changed into them she put on her own pair of shorts and followed him into one of the showers. She put a shower cap over her hair so it wouldn't get wet. She turned on the jet and tilted Oliver's head forward slightly. She cupped some of the cool running water into her hands and massaged it into his hair, watching the water flow down the drain in different colors. Oliver shivered slightly as some of the cold water went down his back. She massaged his back lightly, feeling the hard muscles beneath as she moved his head under the running water.
When the water finally ran clear she turned off the shower and grabbed one of the soft burgundy towels and put it over his head, rubbing it gently. After his hair was mostly dried she took the towel off and smiled. His hair was spiked a little from being rubbed by the towel. She saw that his hair was light blue, which meant that he was content. She grinned and led him out to one of the mirrors. Everyone gasped when they saw his hair. He looked into the mirror and did a double take.
"Its not too bad." he mused with a smirk. Then it changed to a dark blue which meant that he was happy. He smiled and hugged Jazzi. "Thank you." he said and kissed her cheek. His hair changed slowly to purple, which meant that he was in love. The group aww-ed and grinned at them.
"Well, its time to wash out my hair now." Jazzi said and took off the cap. She walked over to the showers, Oliver following. He did the same for her and rubbed a towel over her head after he washed it out thoroughly. He took it off and smiled. It was a little bit darker then her eyes and looked quite good. He led her over to the mirror. She smiled and ran her fingers through it. She blushed and smiled when his hair turned a darker shade of purple, which meant that he was more in love. The group smiled and clapped their hands.
"Good job, Jazzi." smiled Angelina.
"You both look lovely." said Alicia as she snuggled into George's side. He nodded and so did Fred.
"Well, we'd better head up to the dorms and get ready now. We have about an hour before class starts." he said and stood up. Jazzi nodded and brought her clothes back into a bathroom stall to change. Oliver did the same. She only changed into her jeans and the camisole. She didnt feel like wearing the shrug since it was quite warm in the locker room. Oliver walked out wearing his brown trousers and a black muscle shirt. He grinned at her and his hair turned back to light blue.
"This is gonna be interesting." she said happily. "I'm gonna know exactly what your mood is for the next two weeks." she smiled. Oliver smiled back and wrapped his arms around her as they walked out of the locker room, his hair turning back to dark purple.
