CHAPTER THREE
Oliver Wood was the object of every girl's affection when Hermione went back to school two days later. Girls were walking around in groups, swooning his name. They spent hours doodling his name on their assignments and someone had even gone to such lengths as to make copies of 'THAT photo' and stuck them on the back of the toilet doors.
"This is ridiculous," said Ron to Harry and Hermione as they walked to their common room one day.
"You're just jealous," retorted Hermione, although she was almost over her 'Oliver Phase' (Unlike most girls.)
"Oh yeah?" said Ron. "Who was the one who scribbled O.W on your Potions papers and got thirty house points taken away by Snape?"
"Yeah well you're just jealous that it wasn't R.W that all the girls are talking about!" Hermione replied, turning red.
"Calm down guys," Harry interrupted, acting the peace-keeper he always seemed to end up being.
Ron stuck his tongue out quickly when Harry wasn't looking and Hermione rolled her eyes as they entered the common room through the Fat Lady portrait (password, 'Egg shells')
The first thing any of them heard when they were safely inside was the screams of every single female in the room.
"Great Wizards," said Harry to Ron and Hermione. "What on earth is going on?"
At first they had thought the screams were screams of pain or being scared but then they realised they were screams of joy. Parvati was jumping up down waving a photo of Oliver Wood around and Lavender was running on the spot, squealing, her pigtails flying around. Hermione cleared her throat and made the sunshine coming in to the castle reflect on her 'Head Girl' badge, grabbing everyone's attention.
The room was silent for a second. But then everyone went crazy again. Harry went over to Parvati and grabbed her by the sleeve of her robes, nearly tugging them off her. "What on earth is happening?" he yelled over the noise.
"Puddlemere!" she replied, her eyes gleaming. "Oliver is coming to Hogwarts!!!"
