Here's the next chapter!


Oliver was in the entrance hall waiting for Daisy to come down for their date.

Hermione and Gerry both came out of their rooms, still in their pajamas.

Hermione yawned as she got down the stairs not noticing that they had an audience.

"Ger how does pancakes sound?" Hermione asked rubbing her eyes.

"As long as they are banana and chocolate." Gerry said. "Oli-ver that you?" Gerry said in mid yawn.

"Hey Gerry, Hermione." Oliver said smiling brightly at the two.

Hermione blinked. Then looked down at herself. Her face flushed as she realized that she was only wearing an old football jersey and a pair of black Sophie's.

"Morning." She squeaked.

Oliver gave a laugh. He knew that she was probably embarrassed but he thought she looked too cute.

"Hey you waiting for Daisy for your date?" Gerry wiggled her brows.

"Aye."

"You want me to go get her?"

"If you would please."

"Of course. Now play nice kids." Gerry joked as she climbed back up.

"I like your shirt but which team is that? I've never gone against them before." Oliver asked curiously.

Hermione blinked. Looked at her shirt again. "Oliver are you a pureblood?"

Oliver blushed. "Yes but I'm not prejudiced…"

Hermione laughed. "I never thought you were."

"Oh."

Hermione bit her lip smiling. "In the muggle world we don't have quidditch we have football. It's quite popular just like quidditch and there's a goalie which is basically a keeper."

"And do you play this football?"

Hermione shook her head. "No but my ex um one of my old friends did and I always went to see him play."

"I see. Would you te-"

"Oh my god I'm so sorry for making you late!" Daisy apologized as she ran down the stairs in heels.

Both Hermione and Gerry wished the two a good time and secretly laughed at Oliver's paling face.

"Now this will be fun to watch." Gerry said laughing.

"Oh yes."

"Poor guy. I love Daisy but... She's a bit…yeah."

"Gerry!" Hermione said trying not to laugh.


Hermione was cooking the pancakes on the stove as Gerry washed some fruit and Rinny was washing the dishes.

When suddenly the fire on the stove roared and shot up fron the sides, nearly burning Hermione but luckily Rinny used magic to drown it right away. Unfortunately the pancakes were ruined.

"Thanks Rinny." Hermione said touching her slightly burnt hand. She winced when it made contact.

"Oh bloody hell!" Gerry yelled causing both Hermione and Rinny to jump. "You coward. Come here and face us." She screamed into the air.


Oliver was actually surprised where Daisy had decided to go. She had taken him to a shopping plaza but instead of going into the boutiques like he had expected, she dragged him into pubs to introduce to her friends and even to a quidditch shop. Oliver was really surprised to learn that her friends were normal.

He was having a pretty good time but at times he caught her staring at him… in admiration and maybe more. It made him a bit uncomfortable because he wasn't pompous but he thought that maybe the girl was falling for him. But he didn't see her like that at all.


At dinner it was only Hermione, Gerry, and Pru. Rinny had refused to join no matter how much Hermione persuaded her.

"I haven't seen Henry in a long time." Gerry said as they started dinner.

Pru looked thoughtful. "You're right I haven't seen him here in a long time either. It's so weird. He's normally popping here and there all the time to flirt with us."

"It's a bit strange isn't it?" Hermione said.

"Yeah. Maybe he went back home." Gerry said.

"Maybe." Hermione murmured but she had a bad feeling.


Hermione woke up early so that she could get ready for the date. She quickly got up to take a shower.

Hermione came out of the shower to see that Gerry was asleep but that there was an outfit already on her bed.

She put on the black jean shorts, a loose cream colored ruffle neck shirt, and a cute greyish studded vest along with a cream colored scarf.

"Thanks Ger." Hermione said.

"Welcome." Came groggily from a still sleepy Gerry.

Hermione gave a small laugh as she left the room.

Hermione descended the stairs just as Oliver strolled in.

Her breath caught as she saw him.

He was wearing a pair of dark washed jeans. He also wore a plaid undershirt and a wool v-neck sweater shirt that showed his defined muscles from quidditch .

"Hey." Oliver said looking up at her smiling.

"Hey to you too Ollie." Hermione teased.

Oliver rolled his eyes at the annoying name. "You ready?"

"Yep."

"So what exactly are we doing today?" Hermione asked as they both got out of the Scottish Manor.

"It's your choice." Oliver said looking down at her.

"Really?"

"Yes."

Hermione's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"I'm a little frightened now." Oliver answered this time.

Hermione just laughed at him. "Let's apparate." Hermione said giving her hand so that they could side long apparate.

One second they were in Scotland the second they were somewhere behind Big Ben.

"I've always wanted to do this!" Hermione said smiling as she kept hold of his hand and navigated them through the crowd to a visitor stand that had a whole map of London attractions.

"What exactly is this Mione?"

"You'll see." Hermione said her eyes twinkling as she grabbed a map.

They both found a seat on one of the empty benches.

"One of my friends did this once when she was on a date with her boyfriend and she said they had a blast. Though they were exhausted at the end."

Oliver raised a brow.

"Basically you have a map." Hermione said opening the map.

"Okay."

"Now what I want you to do is close your eyes and move your finger around it then stop at any point. That's where we will go."

"What if I land on the Thames?"

"Then we take a boat ride down the Thames!" Hermione chirped.

The two of them were having a blast as they toured the city of London. They had gone on the boats at one of the parks. Hermione accidentally splashing Oliver. Oliver splashing her back on purpose.

Then as they finished Hermione looked around to making sure that no muggles were in sight Hermione dried the both of them. They had also gone to a museum and to three different restaurants only ordering an appetizer and a coffee or tea.

Then they went to one of the famous gardens. The Royal Botanical Gardens. Hermione learned that Oliver's favorite flowers were Daffodils. Oliver learned that Hermione's favorite were Myosotis or commonly known as Forget-me-nots.

"Why?" Oliver asked as he saw Hermione lean in and smell the plain but beautiful colored flowers. The flower was barely the size of his thumb. They could've passed for weeds if it weren't for the brilliant colors.

"Because since I was little every weekend my dad would bring me and my mum a whole bunch of them for our dining room table. I researched and learned that they were a sign of faithfulness and love. Now that I'm older I love them and cherish them everyday especially after the war. The flowers now have a whole new meaning for me. Now they remind me to never forget my loved ones. Dead or alive."

Oliver wrapped his arms around her damning the cameras. He didn't care anymore. They meant nothing to him.

It was Hermione's turn this time. She closed her eyes while Oliver held the map. Her finger landed on Eastern Beach.

They both apparated.

It was fairly empty as it was the middle of November and almost sunset.

Hermione took off her wedges as she grabbed Oliver's hand again.

"I love beaches." She said closing her eyes and listened to the waves. Oliver stared at her admiring how beautiful she looked with the wind slightly sweeping her curls back, how the sun made her hair turn lighter shade of brown and how soft but amazing her smile was. How serene she looked at that moment. Oliver captured the image inside himself so that he would never forget.

"I've had so much fun Oliver. Thank you." Hermione said turning to face him.

"Me too."

Hermione smiled. "Dance with me."

Oliver blinked. "Hermione?"

"Come on dance with me. Our last dance was interrupted remember." Hermione said dropping her shoes on the sand. She had both her hands out for him.

Oliver laughed. He quickly took her hands and put them around his neck. She was on her tippy toes as he was 6' 1'' and she was a mere 5' 3''.

Oliver smile grew bigger as he realized this.

Hermione playfully scowled at him. "I'm short deal with it."

Oliver just laughed as he pulled her up so that now she was on his toes.

The two of them danced for merlin knows how long.

Hermione felt a small drop of rain hit her nose. Oliver watched curiously as she wrinkled her nose, resisting the urge to laugh at her facial expression.

Then another drop hit her arm.

"Oliver."

"Hmmm."

"I think it's gonna rain."

As soon as she uttered the words, fat rain drops began to fall on them.

"I reckon so." Oliver said laughing. Hermione joined him seconds later.

Oliver gave her one last twirl before they both made a run for it.
