Dinner that evening went just like any other. The twins almost started a food fight with Harry and Ron. But before any thing could happen Percy gave his brothers a "if you do anything stupid I'll kill you" look. This stopped the twins from causing any possible mayhem.

After dinner Harry, the Weasleys, Oliver and Hermione all went upstairs to the Gryfendor common room. When they got there they put their stuff in the back corner of the common room. Oliver and Hermione already had their books with them so they started right away.

Harry and Ron came bounding down the stairs fighting with their quills. They had given up fighting with their wands because of all the accident that it had caused last year. Like the scorch mark on the ceiling that was a result of their mock duels. So they switched to quills just to be on the safe side.

"Okay, guys," Oliver said sarcastically, "Quit goofing off and get over here. Hermione said that you two were having trouble in charms so I'm taking it upon myself to tutor you." Harry and Ron were glaring at Hermione. She looked back at them with all innocence. "I'm only doing this because McGonagall said that to be on her quiddich team you have to have at least a B average in all of your mandatory classes. So that means no funny business. Got that?" he directed this at Fred and George who had just pulled Ginny's pony tail.

"Can I listen in as well?" asked Neville

"Sure," said Hermione. "The more the merrier."

"Thanks a lot. Hey Hermione do you think that you could help me with my potions homework?"

"I'll try to. But pleas understand that I have a lot of Arithimacy to finish. If I don't have enough to help you I'm sure Percy can help you. Right Percy?"

This was one of the few times that she had caught him off guard. "Hunh? Oh sure help Neville with potions homework. Sure how about in ï½½ an hour?"

"That's spiffy! Thank you so much!"

He then went over to where Oliver was tutoring Ron and Harry about the history of the Gathering charm.

Hermione then go to work on her transfiguration homework. When her conversation with oliver popped into mind. She banished it and set to work at reading All About Animagi: a Beginners Guide to Becoming an Animagi. She got to the 5th chapter then put the book down and started her Arithimacy for that night. She finished with that around 7 pm then got started on Ancient Ruins translations. Around 11 pm Oliver came over and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on her cheek.

"Please no, someone will see." She started.

"No they wont everyone has gone to sleep."

"Wow really?" she said as she stretched and yawned.

"Here let me help." He started to massage her shoulders. This felt so good. Her back was aching because she had been hunched over for the past five hours. Just then Oliver hit a pressure point and Hermione's back arched. When it did you could actually hear her spine popping

"Much better." Hermione said.

"Good. Come with me please. I want to talk." He took her by the hand and led her over to the more comfortable chairs that were by the fire.

"What about?" She asked.

"Well I wanted to ask you about yourself. All I really know about you is that this is your 3rd year at Hogwarts. Harry and Ron are your best friends, you're the smartest in your year and the you are the only woman that I've had a crush on for the last 3 years."

"Okay but only if you tell me about yourself also?"

"Fine with me."

With that said and out of the way Oliver leaned forward and kissed Hermione to seal their promise

When they sat back Oliver invited hermione to come and sit with him in the enormous chair. He put his arms around her and then he started to talk.

"Let's see, I'm going to turn 18 on August 18. when I'm not here at Hogwarts I live with my mum and dad in a large flat that's in Coventry. I have a older sister named Ivy and an older brother named Harvey who are twins. I'd say they are about 4 years older than me. They both went here and played on the Gryfendor quddich team. Ivy was a Chaser and Harvey was a Beater. Charlie Weasley and Ivy dated for awhile. But now Ivy is getting her degree in teaching. While Harvy is a beater for the Canidian Quddich team. That's not about me though is it.well back at the flat I have my own room and my own broomcase.( it's kinda like a showcase for brooms) Where I keep my old broomsticks and some old brooms. I have Mum's Silver Arrow from when she was a girl. I got my grandfather's Sun Ray. And I have my dad's Moonbeam 200 and 500 from his days as a pro Quddich player for Whales. I also have this workshop where I make my own brooms. Durring the past summer holiday besides practicing quiddich with my cousins at their farm in the country. I've been trying to delvlope a design for a new racing broom. So far I've got all the twigs for the tail. and all the twine ready to hold it together. All I meed now is to decide on what kind of wood I should use for the handle. This is important because it determines the personalitly of the broom. Like if you use oak. that's good for strength and enudurence. But it dosn't go very fast because of the wood'a density." Oliver stopped talking andlooked down at Hermione. She had Fallen asleep in his arms with her hear aginst his chest.

So he got up very quietly so not to disturb her rest, because by God she needed it. Then he picked her up and moved her on to one of the more comfortable couches by the fire. Then he took an afgahn that had a Gryfendor lion on it and tucked her infor the night . He kissed her on the forhead then went upstairs to the boys dormitory. Tomrrow he had a big test in History and he needed to get a good nights sleep in order to well on it .
