Thank you for all my reviews love you all and hope you will keep all keep reading.
Oliver and the Puddlemere team stood at the gate of the kids' orphanage for less than a minute before they were all bombarded by kids.
"Hey guys." Oliver said bending down to pick up two of the kids.
"We didn't know for sure if you were coming to visit us this time." Amy said hugging Jeremy's leg.
"Of course we would come and visit our favorite brats. We always do every month no matter what." James said swinging Tommy around.
"We're not brats!" Both Oliver and Bruno yelled simultaneously.
"Nah you two are just short." Thomas said ruffling both their heads.
"I'll grow up to be taller than you and I'll marry Miss. Hermione." Oliver said defiantly.
All the guys turned to look at the kid and gave a laugh.
"Looks like you've…"
"Got competition." David and Danny said laughing as they each took a boy.
"Who wants to go flying?" Cody asked.
"Me!" All the kids yelled.
Hermione was writing owls to all her friends when there was a knock at the door. "Come in."
"Hey we're going to visit Rianne, you want to go?" Alicia asked.
"Do you really have to ask?" Hermione teased as she looked at her friend.
Alicia laughed.
"Just give me a minute to finish my letter to Harry."
"Aye aye." Alicia said as she sat on Hermione's bed and waited.
"Hey Rianne." Hermione and Gerry said as they entered Rianne's room just in time to see George Weasley sitting in a seat beside the bed.
"Oh we'll wait outside." Alicia said.
"Wait no I'm just leaving." George said standing up abruptly.
"No, no don't let us disturb you. We have all day." Hermione said as she closed the door behind them.
"Ohmigod!" Gerry exclaimed when they all left the room.
"I know!" Alicia giggled.
" That's not how you string those!" Yulisa said as she watched one of the players fail miserablty at putting the string through the macaroni.
"Really that's…" Danny said.
"…Just sad Cody." David finshed.
"It's only macaroni." Jeremy said laughing as he watched his team mate get reprimanded by a seven year old and instructed on how to make macaroni jewelry.
Hermione gave George a hug and a wink as he came out. He wouldn't meet her eyes however.
"Ohmigod, Rianne!" Gerry exclaimed loudly as the three bounded into the room.
"I think there's something you're not telling us." Alicia said giving a smirk.
"You guys." Rianne said embarrassed. "He was just in the neighborhood and…"
"…And he just stopped at a flower shop because it was around?" Hermione asked as she pointed to sunflowers that hadn't been there yesterday.
Rianne blushed. "Um uh."
All four girls bursted inot giggles.
"You are so spilling though. Sooner or later." Gerry said.
Oliver and the team had spent close to two hours with the kids and soon they would have to leave.
"Mr. Oliver, can you give this to Miss Rianne it's from Amy, Maria and me." Frannie asked shyly as she tugged on Oliver's quidditch robes.
Oliver bent down. "Of course Frannie."
"Wait, wait, can you give this to Miss Hermione?" Oliver yelled running up to them.
Oliver turned to see the blonde, green eyed boy that had his given name. In the boy's tiny hands were a letter and a rose without a stem.
"I didn't know how to pick the thorns off so I just cut the whole stem. Do you think she will like?"
"I think she will love it." Oliver said softly.
The boy smiled brightly. "If I have to I guess I can let you marry Miss Hermione as long as you love her. Well until I'm older." He said hugging him then ran off to his friends.
"I can't believe that Nina was voted as the people's favorite! And poor Trista!" Gerry yelled when they got to the subject of last night's prerecorded eliminations.
"Well I for one think the main reason why she was voted was because people love drama and are just itching for a cat fight between Mione and Nina. If Nina was eliminated so soon the dramatics would be over." Alicia said.
"I never thought it that way, but ohmigod that could be so true." Gerry said.
"Well technically it was meant for Rianne but since she can't participate it went to Nina." Hermione stated.
"I still can't believe they voted for me though. I was horrible and James even slowed the pitch on purpose for me."
"Rianne you so deserved it." Hermione assured. "You were the most frightened of all of us and you still did well."
"I don't know but at least Hermione you won the team's vote."
"Not that she shouldn't she risked her neck literally for a truffle size ball." Alicia snorted.
"You better not ever say that in front of Oliver." Rianne said laughing.
"I know really he would most likely go on a rampage." Hermione said laughing.
"What should I not hear and why would I be on a rampage?" A familiar Scottish accent echoed through the room.
All the girls turned to look at the door to see Oliver Wood in his quidditsh robes.
"Hey." Hermione said smiling brightly at him.
"Hello lass." Oliver said smiling back eyes only for Hermione.
"Hi to you too Oliver." Alicia joked.
Oliver blushed realizing what he did. "Sorry girls."
"No problem." All three chorused.
"Well I've come baring letters and gifts." Oliver said.
"This here is for you from Red." Oliver said handing Alicia a macaroni necklace. "They had arts and crafts today and Red made this for you."
Alicia looked at the macaroni necklace that was an array of Purple and red noodles. She gripped it in her hands for a second then put it on. "I'll wear it always."
All three girls gushed over the necklace. Oliver just stood there shaking his head while laughing slightly.
"This is for you Rianne from Amy, Frannie, and Maria." Oliver said handing Rianne a letter.
Rianne read the letter, tears leaking from her eyes. Then looked at the picture that came with the letter. All four people around her looked concerned. Rianne wiped a tear away. "It's fine guys." Rianne assured. "The girls, apparently a couple that can't have children are adopting all three of them and that it will be final in a couple of weeks."
"Ohmigod, that's amazing." Gerry said.
"Yeah. Look here's they all are." Rianne said giving the picture to them.
In the picture was the three girls that Rianne took care of and a nice looking middle aged couple hugging the three girls between them two.
"Oh I'm so glad." Hermione said leaning into Alicia.
"This is for you Gerry, from Tommy." Oliver said handing Gerry a drawing.
Gerry looked at the drawing. It had a picture of two people on it. One looked to be a women another was a young boy. On it was scribbled in pretty neat handwriting 'To Miss Gerry the prettiest leady I have ever met. Tommy'
Gerry stuck out her bottom lip and looked as if she was ready to cry.
"And this is for you from Oliver and Yulisa."
Oliver handed Hermione a pink and green macaroni bracelet, a letter, and a rose without the stem.
Hermione fingered the rose as she looked up at the sky. Bright stars were scattered throughout the sky. It was beautiful with the combination of the full moon.
"Ger, I'm going to the balcony." Hermione yelled placing the rose on her nightstand.
"Okay." Gerry yelled from the bathroom.
Hermione stared at the sky trying to find Oliver's star Estrella. It was such a beautiful night, Hermione couldn't help but sigh and lean on the balcony.
The balcony suddenly gave in and collapsed causing Hermione to fall over even though just a few weeks ago it handled her whole weight.
Gerry got out of the shower about fifteen minutes late and noticed that Hermione wasn't in bed yet. Then remembered Hermione saying she was going out the balcony.
Gerry's eyes widened as she saw part of the balcony was missing. Then screamed when she saw her friend's body laying with the heap of rubble on the ground.
