"What if she doesn't like me? What if I don't like her? What if..." He got cut off by a giggle from Skye and a raised eyebrow from Oliver.
"Don't worry Connor," Skye began, " She'll love you. Just bring out that sweet little boy I know is in there somewhere!" Oliver let out a snort that sounded suspiciously like laughter.
"It's not a laughing matter guys, I'm scared."
"No more scared then I was when I was meeting Skye for the first time."
"You were worried about meeting me?" Skye asked a quizzical expression passed her face. Oliver shook his head yes and gave a sheepish smile. Skye just gave him a knowing look and a loving smile. "See Connor we worked out for the best, just give her a shot." She then glanced at her watch. "Well boyos looks like its time to apparate."
When they showed up at the restaurant Kylee was waiting for them in a booth, wearing yet another quidditch spirit tee.
"What took you guys so long?" she joked.
"Well the boyos hogged the bathroom taking over 30 min each!"
"No we didn't" they both answered "it was only about 10 min. Miss I time people on getting ready."
"Are they always like this?"
"Nope usually worse." Skye joked. They all settled down in the booth to order food. Skye and Oliver grew silent in order to give Connor and Kylee some time to get to know each other, what was sure to be an entertaining lunch if nothing else.
"So you like quidditch?" Connor asked noticing her shirt and wanting to start the conversation out on the right foot.
"Like it? It's the best sport ever invented! I use to play on my house team back in school with Skye."
"Really? Wow, that's so cool. So what position is you favorite? I personally think everyone works hard on a team but the chasers work the hardest!"
"Like HELL they do," Kylee exploded, " all chasers have to do is hold onto the ball and put it through one of the hoops. The beaters work the hardest!"
"How so?" Connor challenged her, really getting into this argument.
" Well who the hell protects the bloody players from the bloody bludgers? Huh? Not the Chasers! Without the beaters you chasers would be in sorry shape!"
"Hey don't forget us keepers," added Oliver. "Us keepers work mighty hard to keep that simple ball out of the hoops!" Not wanting to be outdone by Oliver, Connor added to his statement.
"So Keeper by day, not by night?"
"What's that suppose to mean?," asked Kylee, with a quizzical look towards her friend. When Skye wouldn't look her in the eyes she turned to Oliver, when neither of them would meet her gaze and turned bright red it suddenly clicked. "Oi I get it, so Skye is letting a bludger or two by?" Connor and Kylee burst out laughing, leaving their two red faced friends mumbling excuses.
The rest of the meal went on with out a hitch, seemed that the argument had caused the amiable feeling between the two. On the way out, Connor pulled Kylee aside.
"So do you really like quidditch as much as you say?"
"Of course. Why the hell would I lie about that?" She answered quizzingly at him.
"Because I've gotta ticket here with your name on it to the match on Saturday, if you want it."
"Of course I want it. Where did you get that? I thought the match was sold out? Where is it in the stadium?"
"Well I had to pull a few strings to get it but when Skye told me how much you fancy quidditch I decided it was worth the hassle. As to where it is, you'll just have to find out when you get there. Heres your ticket, 11:07 am Saturday, don't be late."
"I won't don't worry. Thanks so much that was so sweet of you," she said and gave him a slight hug.
"Oh it was nothin!" He answered blushing. "See you tomorrow, sweet dreams."
After dropping Kylee off at her room the three of them apparated home. Oliver waited till Skye had headed off to get ready for bed to talk to Connor.
"Pst, Hey Connor," Oliver whispered.
"Hey why are we whispering?"
"Cause it's a secret, git," Oliver hissed.
"Oh go on then."
"Tomorrow at the game..."
