Chapter 11: The Date

Ava Johnson and Oliver Wood made their way down the path by the lake into Hogsmeade. Ava shuddered slightly as the wind brushed her bare shoulders. Oliver turned and looked down at her.

"Ya cold? I can think of a way to warm ya up." He smiled wickedly as he hand lowered down my waist and brushed my bottom lightly.

I giggled as I kept walking. "I know you can think of many ways. Besides I don't think it would be good getting close in the woods." As I turned around the bend Wood grabbed my arm and pulled me to face him.

"You dun' like the idea of spendin' a romantic night with me unda the trees?" He brushed his fingers against my bare shoulder and then placed a kiss where his fingers were touching.

I shivered as I laughed nervously. "Oh yeah. Losing my virginity in the middle of nowhere out in the open sounds very appealing." Wood growled hungrily and put his arms tightly around me as he nibbled on my neck harshly. I pulled away and pushed him off me playfully but firmly. "I don't think that would be a good idea Oliver."

He grabbed me harshly and breathed heavily into my ear. "I dinna know you were a Virgin love. Don' worry I'll be gentle." He bit into my neck hard, breaking the skin slightly. My eyes winced as he began to suckle on the bit mark.

"Oliver! Get off me!" I yelled as I tried to push away. He grabbed my sweater and ripped the top of it as he was trying to pull it off. "Stop it!" I yelled again but it was to no avail. He was not going to stop. As he ripped my sweater he tried to weasel his other hand inside my jeans. I gasped as I raised my hand and slapped him across his face with intense force. He looked at me stunned and then continued to put his hands down my pants. I raised my hand again and scratched him across his eyes. He yelped in pain and put his hand up to his eye. He looked up at me with anger in his eyes. I backed away from him slightly, looking at him in fear.

As he tried to step closer to me I suddenly heard the snapping of wood above where we were standing. I gasped when I looked up. I saw a branch tumbling quickly towards the ground that landed in between us, barely missing the top of Wood's head.

"Wha' the hell was tha'?" The both of us looked around and in the trees. As I was about to speak the wind began to blow violently. The leaves on the ground flew into the air around us. I backed up as the wind pushed me away from Wood and towards Hogsmeade. I yelled for Wood but heard nothing. I could barely even see him with the dirt and leaves filling the air creating a tornado around him. I fell to the ground and landed on my ankle. I yelped in pain as I crawled into a hollow tree to get away from the whirlwind. After about a minute the wind finally stopped.

I paused for a few moments to see if I could hear anything. There was complete silence. As I was about to crawl out I heard someone yell. Not knowing who it was I crawled deeper into the tree. I heard the same voice yell again. This time I heard them yell my name. I pulled my knees towards my chest as I stared out into the open. I hoped it wasn't Wood. I didn't want him to find me. I couldn't believe he tried to attack me. I always thought of him being playful but I didn't think of him as being a predator.

All of a sudden I saw a foot step in front of the tree. I began to shake as I tried to quiet my already heavy breathing. He found me. There was nothing I can do. I just closed my eyes and held onto my knees tightly. I felt a tear fall down my face. I just wanted to be home. I wanted to be far away from here as possible. Unexpectedly I felt a finger wipe my tear away. Then I heard the sweetest voice I had ever heard. "It's ok Ava. I'm here."

I looked up and looked into those soft gentle eyes. Fred knelt in front of me as he rubbed my shoulder lightly. I sighed in relief as I leaned into his chest seeking shelter. He put his arms around me as he yelled. "George I found her!" Fred pulled me out of the tree and helped me stand up. I looked and saw George running into the clearing with a look of relief. As I stood I winced as my ankle throbbed in pain. Fred looked at me with a concerned look on his face as he helped me towards a log and sat me down. He knelt down in front of me and gently pulled off my shoe, examining my ankle.

"I'm sorry Ava. We didn't mean to get you caught up in the tornado. That was only meant for Wood," said George as he sat next to me and looked down at his brother. "How does it look Fred?"

Fred twisted my foot slightly and I gasped in pain. He shook his head as he looked up at his brother. "She sprained it. We need to get her back to Hogwarts." He turned around and helped me get onto his back. He put his arms underneath my knees as I put my arms around his neck. George stood and began to walk next to his brother.

"How long were you two following me?" I said as I looked ahead. I saw Hogwarts in the distance.

"Since you left the common room. We thought it would be best to follow you. Good thing we did." Said George.

I nodded and thought about what Wood tried to do back in the woods. "I didn't think he was that kind of person."

"Not many people do. I think he has never been turned down before." Said George.

"What did you two do with him?"

George smiled as he looked towards his brother. "I'm not sure. I didn't create the tornado. Fred did. I only broke the branch. What DID you do with him Fred?"

Fred looked as his brother and then motioned his head towards the lake. "I just sent him somewhere to cool off for a bit."

I smiled as I leaned my head against his. I lightly kissed his cheek as I closed my eyes. "Thank you." Fred smiled to himself as the three of them walked towards Hogwarts.
