When Oliver and Shelly arrived at the Gryffindor common room they got right
to studying, and of course Oliver flirted a bit, he couldn't help it, there
was just something about her. Oliver began to worry that he wasn't as
charming as he thought he was, Shelly didn't seem to be acknowledging any
of his advances, he didn't know what was wrong. After Shelly said that she
finally understood the Auzora potion, Oliver felt it was time to make his
move.
"Um…Shelly….I was wondering…um…after the game tomorrow…do you want to…um…do something?" Oliver stuttered.
"Actually I don't think I can Oliver, I'm sorry, I'm suppose to meet some friends afterward, maybe another time." She responded.
"Oh…okay, maybe some other time, I hope you do well on your potions exam."
"If I do, it will all be because of you, thank you so much! I'll talk to you later, I have to go, thanks again!" Shelly quickly left the common room.
Oliver really didn't understand what was going on; he had always been a charmer, what was going on? Just then Fred and George Weasley showed up.
"So, you struck out huh? And you helped her with her homework and everything" said Fred
"If all of us aren't suffering from the flu tomorrow maybe we can win the game and that will impress her" added in George. "Don't get to depressed, its not like she's seeing anyone else or anything, so we think anyway."
"Go away, you need to get your rest for the game tomorrow, we cant be having tired beaters now can we?" snapped Oliver.
"We know when we're not wanted, come on Fred lets leave the love struck boy alone." Then Fred and George left.
Oliver couldn't get Georges comment out of his head, maybe she was seeing someone else, he had to find out, Shelly was his, not anyone else. I have to stop thinking about her, I have to concentrate on the game tomorrow, we have to win! Thought Oliver, although one of the main reasons he wanted to win the game tomorrow was to impress Shelly, and then there is the whole wanting to win the house cup, but Shelly was more important than that. Just then he saw Hermione reading a book in the corner of the common room, and came up with a plan. He walked over to her, quickly figuring out how he was going to explain this to her, she may not understand.
"Hey Hermione, what are you reading today?" questioned Oliver.
"Oh..um..nothing much, just Introduction to Advanced Wizardry Potions and Powers, its just a bit of free reading." Replied Hermione, getting red in the face from anticipation of why Oliver was talking to her.
"Well, it's quite large for free reading, but I have something, well, kind of strange but very important to ask you."
"Oh-okay….what is?" she said, anticipating a request for a date.
"Well, do you know Shelly Haworth?"
"Yes, actually I do, not to well, but we talk"
"Oh good, this wont be to hard than, I was wondering if you could…um…talk to her and find out if she is seeing anyone or anything…please?"
"Um…I can do that, yah…." Answered Hermione a bit disappointed.
"Thank you so much I really appreciate it, the sooner the better!" and he walked off. He finally thought he had a foolproof way to find out if Shelly was seeing anyone, and if she was, he was sure he could fix that. Now that that was out of the way he could finally concentrate on the upcoming game
