Ch.1: Think I'm in Love - Part 2

Christmas Holidays ended, a furious Marcus coming home, and Gryffindor beating Hufflepuff. It was the day of the third game, Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. Vicky, in her blue and bronze Ravenclaw wear bumped into Marcus Flint on the field while heading to the stands.
"Oh! Look who it is!" Marcus said cruely as he glared at her. "The girl who went behind my back!"
"Marcus! I broke up with you, and then I let Oliver ask me out!" Victoria shot back.
"But you certainly let him kiss you!"
"Hmph. Well, I'd explain it to you, but you wouldn't understand true love Marcus!" Victoria said as she took her place between Penelope Clearwater and Cho Chang. Victoria stood up with everyone else except the Slytherins and cheered as the Gryffindor Quidditch Team soared onto the field. After Harry Potter, out came Wood who took his place at the Goal Posts. The other plays gathered around as Madame Hooch threw the quaffle up and started the game.
Halfway into the game Gryffindor was leading by only 10 points. The game was getting nasty. Victoria watched intently as Oliver blocked the quaffle from entering Gryffindor's goals once again. Vicky felt a disturbing aching in the back of her head and cringed.
"No, not now!" She whispered. She felt her head being controlled by erupting pain, and she felt herself almsot fall of her seat in the bleachers.
"Are you alright Victoria?!" Penelope asked. Cho looked at Vicky too.
"I..." Vicky started but images flooding her mind stopped her from speaking. Vicky saw herself in the stands, watching the game. She saw Oliver giving her a wave while the Gryffindors and Slytherins fought over the quaffle down the other end of the field. Victoria's head was burning feriously and she saw Marcus Flint flying the quaffle towards Oliver. Oliver was unaware of Marcus grabbing a beater bat from Fred Weasley as he flew nearer. Marcus launched the bat into the air towards Oliver. Oliver was hit and fell to the ground, his head bleeding constantly. Victoria saw herself yell out in worry and run down the stands to him. Victoria felt the pain from her head ease as her mind cleared out and she returned to her spot in the stands. Victoria looked up and saw Oliver wave at her- oh no, this was it! Victoria wasn't going to panic, she could handle this- somehow!
"Accio Vixen4500!" Victoria summoned her broom which instantly flew to her. Victoria jumped on, frightening the jumpy Ravenclaws.
"Victoria, what on earth are you doing!?" Cho yelled. Victoria didn't bother to answer she was out of the stands in a flash heading straight for the Gryffindor goal posts, straight for the contact point. Victoria could see Oliver's worried face ahead, and feel Marcus swinging the bat and letting it loose.
"Victoria!" Oliver yelled, but it was too late. Victoria took a slam to the head and dropped the 50 feet down, she fell into the grass and her broom fell next to her along with the beater bat. Victoria looked up at the sky and saw maroon and green blurs coming closer, the last thing she saw was Oliver's face. He was holding her face in his hands.
"Victoria, you're okay, it's ok, Madame Hooch will take care of you, so just hang on!" But Victoria could not hold on right now, she closed her eyes and let the darkness colide over her.
One month later, Oliver Wood sat in the hospital wing, next to Victoria's bed. He held her soft hand in both of his and stared at her still body. Most of her bruises and cuts had healed, but she was still unconscious.
"They said I'd find you here." Came Harry Potter's voice. Oliver quicky turned around. "Sorry to disturb you Oliver, but I..we, the team, were talking. And we were talking to the Ravenclaw quidditch team and- the next match is Slytherin vs. Ravenclaw." Harry said quickly. Wood nodded, he knew that.
"They don't know what they will do without their Keeper. And well, Alicia Spinnet had an idea that...well, if we asked Dumbledore and Madame Hooch, you could take her place as their keeper for this one game. Considering that she took your place...when.."
"When Marcus was going to give me a nasty blow to the head." Oliver replied quickly.
"Ya."
"I like that idea, Harry. It's approved by me."
"Ok, I'll go tell the others." Harry said as he exited. Oliver stared back at Victoria.
"It will be ok. I promise you." He said, he kissed her forehead and exited the room, giving her one last glance.
The day of the Ravenclaw vs. Slytherin match came quickly. Both Dumbledore and Madame Hooch approved of Wood being a temporary Ravenclaw keeper, and most of the school, all but the exception of the Slytherins, were quite happy. Oliver had to becareful now, though. Marcus Flint surely had it in for him. Oliver put on a sheer blue sleeveless robe over his red ones and grabbed his broom. He walked over to Cho Chang, and Penelope Clearwater, other Ravenclaw members.
"So here goes?"
"Here goes." Penelope stated breathlessly. She kissed the ring on her finger that Percy Weasley had gotten her from Hogsmeade.
"To the year of the Ravenclaw." Said Roger Davies from behind them. Then the doors opened and they all mounted their brooms and took off in the morning sunlight. As Oliver did a lap around the field, the brightness of the day had blinded him, but he spotted a hufflepuff with a sign that read 'Avenge Crescent, and Beat Slytherin!'. Oliver smirked a bit and took his place at the Ravenclaw goal post.
The game started very slow. The quaffle remained at the Slytherin end halfway through the game. When Oliver started getting tired he saw movement coming closer to him from a green and blue blur. Flint had the quaffle, but he wasn't stupid enough to try anything on Wood this time. Dumbledore and Madame Hooch would make sure of that. Penelope Clearwater knocked the quaffle away from Flint and started taking it back towards the other end, but Malfoy, who was a seeker, interrupted Penelope's persuit. When Penelope was confused and messed up another Slytherin chaser grabbed the quaffle and headed back towards Oliver. As the Slytherins neared, the chaser passed the ball to Flint. Flint sped away from the others, entering the goal area. He glared straight at Oliver and gave the quaffle a high and mighty throw. The crowd gasped. Oliver quickly dove towards it and spun his broom around whacking the quaffle away with it's end. The crowds cheered. Oliver made many more good saves, soon it was Ravenclaw-10, Slytherin-0. After a long, long game... Wood finally heard Lee Jordan yell out.
"CHO CHANG HAS CAUGHT THE SNITCH!" Much to his own surprise. The crowd was roaring, usually only Gryffindor, if anyone, ever beat Slytherin. Oliver smiled as he flew away from the goal posts and joined the Ravenclaws who were doing speedy victory laps around the field. As he passed one of the stands something caught his eye. He screeched to a stop and looked down at the bottom of the stands where the ladder was. He saw Victoria in her short white hospital gown leaning against the ladder smiling up at him. Oliver felt his heart go a million miles per hour. Without hesitation he swooped down towards her. Once Oliver came 10 feet above the ground he jumped off and ran the rest of the way over to her.
"Vicky, you're alright." Oliver smiled as he pulled her into a hug. Victoria lay her head on his shoulder and ran her hand up and down his back.
"Ya, I'm fine now. Thanks to you."
"What do you mean, thanks to me? I almost got you killed." Oliver whispered. Victoria smiled.
"No. When I was unconcious, and in my coma...I was chained the the bottom of the ocean, it was the worst nightmare I had ever had. But then...you came and saved me. I was sure I was goign to die any time soon now, run out of air. But you came, I waited and you came." Victoria smiled and looked into his eyes. Oliver felt his eyes getting watery. No one really knew Oliver as an emotional guy, but everything that Victoria had just told him, and everything about her- it took his breath away, and he let out tears of joy, that she was safe. Victoria wiped away one of his tears. Oliver smiled and pulled her into a soft passionate kiss. Victoria's heart fluttered madly inside.
"Let's go to the Gryffindor Common Room? What do you say? There's so much we need to catch up on. Like well snogging for one, but there's other stuff too." Oliver said jokingly. Victoria smiled.
"Sounds great to me."
