I'm going to try to do one chapter for every week so I hope you'll stay tuned and review.
It had been four days since the first day they had come here. But there were still numerous glares went to Hermione each day. She figured if you could kill with a wish, she would've been dead many times over. But she took it all in stride. It wasn't much different than Hogwarts really.
Hermione and Rianne were currently baking a cake for Alicia's birthday. Meanwhile Gerry was showing Alicia around the village to keep her away.
" Mione how much sugar again?"
"Three cups." Hermione said while rigorously mixing her icing. It was an icing that her mother had taught her when she was 10. Since then they cooked it every year on her dad's birthday.
"Palay if you don't hit the target this time, the first game you'll sit and we'll let Zery play in your place." Oliver yelled. "And Print did I say you could take a break?" He hollered down at the beater who was currently taking a break from running the field.
Jeremy grunted. "No your holiness." He muttered.
"I heard that!"
"Corma-"
"I'm going, I'm going." Cody yelled before Oliver finished.
The whole reserve team, Thomas Maine, and the Doyle twins watched fascinated as their captain almost work their star Chaser and the two beaters to death.
"Bloody hell, I'm glad that I wasn't part of the prank." Thomas said before taking a large gulp of his energy drink.
"Yeah, totally. I thought he was trying to kill us when we were practicing." Danny said.
"Now we can see that he was actually going easy on us." His twin David finished.
"Ugh whatever you can call it going easy but it was still not fun." One of the reserve said stretching his neck.
"Hey Ollie boy which girl are you akin to?" James asked.
"Shut up Palay!" Jeremy yelled.
"Ohh I bet it's Hermione Granger right? Or maybe that brunette, Alice something." Cody said.
"Has to be Hermione Granger. I mean did you see the look those two were giving each other? I mean it was like they were having eye se-" James was interrupted by a bludger whizzing by him nearly knocking him over. "Hey!"
"What is James trying to do? Get himself killed?" Thomas said slapping his forehead at his idiotic teammate.
"And this is where Oliver goes to dinner with his mum on her birthday." Gerry gestured to the quaint restraint.
"Fascinating." Alicia said sarcastically.
"Ohh that's where Oliver got his first broom!" Gerry said dragging a reluctant Alicia behind her.
"Someone curse me." Alicia muttered.
The house elves were fidgeting while they watched the two girls clean the dishes.
"Rinny help misses?"
Hermione turned to look at the house elf. "Not it's okay Rinny. We've got it but when the cake is ready, will you help us take the cake out and decorate it?"
"Yes yes Rinny will." The house elf said bobbing enthusiastically.
"There you beautés are. I been looking for you belles everywhere." Henry said popping up from where the dishes were automatically washing themselves.
Hermione looked up from drying the dishes. "Hello Henry."
"Bonjour le bel."
Hermione blushed.
"Can you translate?"
"He said hello beautiful one." A male voice said.
"Master!" Rinny squealed.
"Hullo Rinny." Oliver said bending down to the house elf's level. "Shouldn't you be out with the others? Today is your day off."
"But Rinny wanted to help the misses bake a cake. Don't be mad." Rinny said looking down and taking the ends of her dress and swooshing it back and forth.
"Oh. Rinny I would never be mad. I just wanted to make sure you knew that you do have days off."
Hermione watched the scene in front of her mesmerized. This was the kind of treatment of house elves she had been aiming for since her third year.
Oliver stood up to his full height. "I'm guessing you two are the misses making a cake." He said walking towards Hermione until they stood less than a foot away.
Hermione had to crane her head up to look at him. "Yeah we're surprising Alicia for her birthday."
"It's her birthday?"
"Yeah it's her 20th."
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Sure can you help me make some figurines? They're your favorite, Gryffindor players against the Slytherins. Also some balls and brooms." Hermione teased.
"Haha."
"Rinny can you help me with the laundry?" Rianne whisphered to the house elf.
Rinny nodded enthusiastically before quietly apparenting to the laundry room.
"I am not obsessed with quidditch."
"I beg a differ.
"Mon amis moi is still here." Henry said from the sink.
"Oh bonjour Henry."
"If moi didn't know better moi would say you two are like one of those sayings opposites attend non that's not right, amend. No not it either."
"Attract?"
"Oui le bel. You two are opposites that attract très much."
"We do not!" Hermione cried.
"You're kidding me!" Oliver yelled at the same time.
"Ohh look Alicia isn't that pretty?" Gerry gestured to the fountain in the plaza.
"Let me guess that is where Oliver used to play on as a kid."
"Actually I don't know… but we could ask the local people!" Gerry said before taking them to the nearest person.
"I was kidding!"
"So this is how you make a broom." Hermione showed her edible broom.
"Can't I just use a spell to copy it?" Oliver said grimacing
"No! It doesn't taste nearly as good!" She exclaimed appaled.
"Ugh."
"Where's Oliver Wood?" Tatyana asked.
Rianne turned around. "Oh it's you." Before turning back to her magazine.
"Hey don't ignore me." Tatyanna screeched.
"Well don't screech for Merlin's sake. Not everyone thinks your voice is like an angel's."
""You know you don't necessarily need to keep me on this show."
"Hm?" Oliver said looking up from his miniature quaffle.
"You don't have to keep me here."
"No but it's fun to tease you." Oliver said simply.
"Oliver Wood!" Hermione exclaimed throwing her miniature bludger at him.
Insterad of hitting him like Hermione had intentioned to, it fell into his mouth.
Oliver chewed it thoughtfully before swallowing. "Yum that's really good Lassie!" He said grinning. There were bits of white still in his teeth.
Hermione tried but she couldn't resist the laughter forcing it's way out.
Oliver soon found himself joining though he really didn't know why except that he thought that her laughter was contagious.
