Part Eleven
You open the door to see Oliver standing there in a black dress shirt and black pants and black dress shoes. You both match perfectly. You smile slightly upon noticing this. He looks soo cute, wow! you think while he just stands there. He looks up at you and smiles. "You look nice..." he tells you. "Yea, you look good too...". "Umm... this is for you." He gives you a white rose. "It's very pretty, thanks." You say stumbling on the words. I meant beautiful...not very pretty.....urgh...what's wrong with me..
As you both walk down to the Great Hall you hear the music playing. Surprisingly even though it's the Halloween dance they were still playing ballads and love songs. I'm only human born to make mistakes, I'm only human born to make mistakes, They don't know what you mean to me, please don't give up on us... As you walk in to the great hall Distinct Nature's song Human finishes.
Next you hear something very familiar to you. I've been dreaming about a place
Where I can watch you smile and dream, While sunlight hits your face, Sing if you're happy, cry if you're blue, Eat if you're hungry, Love if you're true, But baby there's heartache roaming this world, Something has gotten hold of us and, baby, we all hurt
We all try to fight it and sometimes we win, As long as you're dreaming you're not giving in "I thought muggle devices couldn't work here?!" you say in astonishment. Oliver glances at your stunned face, laughs and says "No they can't, we just asked for permission from Dumbledore to let us work them here for the dance." "Oh I !!!!" you say excitedly. Unfortunately your song is over.
I'm here just like I said, though it's breaking every rule I've ever made starts the next song which is Leave right now by Will Young. "Would you give me the honour of dancing with me?" Oliver asks you, extending one arm. You smile at his formal offer. "Why, I'd be delighted." you tell him, and you take his arm.
As you two dance through that song and Never Had a Dream Come True by S Club 7. You notice Harry, Ron and Hermione sitting at a table eating and enjoying themselves. You feel a bit bad for Harry, so you decide that before the dance is over you'll dance with him at least once. You also catch a glimpse of George and Angelina dancing. They seem close, you feel happy for them.
The next song comes on and you recognize it right away. Half way through it that is. In a year from now, maybe there'll be things we'll wish we'd never said, In a year from now, maybe we'll see each other standing on the same street corner, no regrets, Each and every end is always written in the stars, if only I could stop the world I'd make this last... It was Say Goodbye by S Club. You realize the words are very emotional to you.
A little while later...
You excuse yourself while Oliver is sitting at the table, after you explained to him about Harry. You go up to Harry "Come on Harry get up." you tell him, and he knows exactly why you're doing this. "You know you didn't have to." he says, almost trying to be angry with you. "Sorry but just wanted you to at least dance once...hehehehe..." you laugh at him. He laughs too. "Well thanks, just next time stick with Oliver...I bet he's feeling left out." he says. "Nah...I doubt it...after all the famous Oliver Wood has more than one girl fawning over him." you tell Harry. You both laugh at that. "I take it that your not one of them then?" Harry asks. "Nope...I don't fawn over him." you tell him as seriously as you can. "Sure.... that's it..." He says. You both laugh as you dance. After the song Harry asks to go back to the table. As you both go back to the table, Harry tells you it was nice of you to have done that for him. You tell him it was no problem.
As you walk back to where you and Oliver were sitting, you notice him gone. Okie...so I ditched and got ditched...that's nice to know... you think as you sit down. You quietly sip the drink you got after you and Harry walked back to your separate tables. You're thinking about something when you hear a hand slam onto the table. Startled you look up to see Marcus Flint smirking down at you. "Good evening beautiful!" he says. "Goodbye Flint, I forgot I was supposed to ask George something." You tell him and with that you get up and start to leave. Flint quickly grabs your arm and you turn to see him laugh. "Where did you think you were going, can't I at least have one dance with you?" he asks his smirk getting bigger. "Is that a rhetorical question or do I have to answer it?" you wrench your hand out of his grip and start to leave again. He's quicker than you and moves in front of you. "Listen up ----- I'm going to have at least one dance with you." Flint tells you through clenched teeth. "Too bad, I'm going." You tell him and you get into the crowd of people dancing. You push and shove your way through, hoping to find George or even better Oliver.
You feel a hand on your shoulder; you let out a shriek, and quickly turn around to see....
