Amy woke up the next morning, feeling a little groggy. She looked over at her clock and saw it was 8:00. "Are you kidding me?" she mumbled to herself, "I finally get to sleep in and I wake up at 8:00 in the morning." Amy tried to go back to sleep, but there was no use. She finally forced herself out of bed. She glanced around at her roommates. Hermione looked like a mess. She looks like crap. They must have stayed up late. She decided not to wake her. She needs all the sleep she can get. Amy decided to head down to breakfast. She was about to open the doors to the Great Hall when Harry, Ron and Hermione came rushing toward her.
"Amy! Wait up!" Harry yelled.
Amy quickly turned around, "What's going on guys."
They had to catch their breath before "Amy, there is something you should know before you go in there."
"Well, what is it?" Amy waited for an answer, but nobody was saying anything. In fact they avoided making eye contact. She pushed the door open as she said, "Well obviously it's not that important if you can't..." However, she never managed to finish her sentence because she was shocked by what she saw. Oliver was standing by her seat, and he had a single red rose and a piece of paper in his hand. She couldn't help but smile at this gesture. "Well, I'm glad you guys didn't spoil this!" She walked over to him and gave him a huge hug. Harry, Hermione and Ron trailed behind all with confused expressions on their faces.
"Hello love" Oliver said to Amy, "This is for you. A beautiful rose for a beautiful girl." Alright, that was a little cheesy, but oh well, he's finally being romantic.
"Aww, that's sweet of you." Oliver just smiled, and sat down.
"I also have something else for you...be impressed, I wrote it myself" He gave you a little smile.
"Hmm, this should be interesting..." This is very unlike Oliver…but I'm definitely enjoying it! She opened the letter and was surprised by what it said:
Amy,
I don't really know how to say this,
But I have felt this since our first kiss.
I feel like I have been in orbit,
Believe me, I didn't predict it.
But I have to say in this moment, this time
You always make me feel sublime.
So now I say this from me to you,
"I love you"...now here's your cue...
"Oh my gosh, Oliver!!" She kissed him gently on the lips. "I love you too" she said quietly. She was very touched by what he did. However, she didn't notice or hear Harry, Ron and Hermione muttering among them. After breakfast, Amy decided to head outside. "Do you want to join me?" Oliver laughed. He declined and decided to go down to the quidditch pitch to get ready for practice. "Well, I guess some things don't change" she joked.
"I highly doubt you would still like me if that changed." He gave her a quick peck on the cheek and walked out.
"He is so adorable! I'm glad you guys didn't ruin the surprise" None of them responded to that comment, "That's what you guys wanted to tell me, right?"
"Well, not exactly, you see--"
"Hey gorgeous."
"You have got to be kidding me." Amy mumbled. I know whose voice that is. "Shove of Malfoy" she tried to look intimidating, but it didn't work since he towered over her. He started coming closer to her. Does this really have to happen right now?
"Hey back off!" Harry said, coming to her rescue. Ron followed Harry's lead. She gave them a small smile to show her thanks.
Malfoy looked at Harry and Ron. He was sizing them up, seeing if he could take them. In the end he decided against it, "Amy, you are extremely lucky. You better not let me find you alone. You never know what might happen." He gave her a horrible smirk and a threatening glance and walked away.
"Uh, I hate that man" she whispered, "Thankfully, he hasn't really done...hopefully, he never will."
"Please just do us a favor," Harry said, "Please don't go anywhere alone"
Amy started laughing, "Believe me, that is no problem." As she checked her watch, she realized that they had a few hours until quidditch practice. "Do you guys just want to stay here until practice starts?"
"Oh believe me I want to, but I have a huge amount of homework to do" Harry replied.
"Well, we can do it out here." They still weren't agreeing so Amy started spinning in circles, "Oh come on guys, it is a beautiful day. Do you really want to be cooped up in the castle?" They all started laughing at her because she definitely looked crazy.
"Alright, alright! But only if you promise to stop doing that!" It was such a beautiful day out, and Amy was so happy that she convinced her friends to stay outside. She was in the middle of her Potions essay, when she heard an unfamiliar voice say her name. Amy turned around to see little Derek Dombeck. He was running toward her with a piece of paper in his hand.
