Ch.2; Tumbling Way Downhill - Part 1
"Victoria?"
"Yes Oliver?"
"Can I ask you something?" Oliver straightened himself up on the couch and adjusted his robes. He sat up straight and looked into his beautiful girlfriend's eyes. They were graceful and deep warm brown.
"Sure you can." Victoria said. She took Oliver's hand in hers and looked at him. "Anything."
"How- how did you know...How did you know that Marcus was going to try to hit me with the beater bat?" Oliver asked. He looked at Victoria quizzically. She looked down.
"I really can't say how I knew, because I don't know. I don't know myself how I knew that. I just saw Marcus, and he had a dirty...sense to him."
"Oh, ok." Oliver leaned back on the couch against Victoria's shoulders. "If you remember, will you tell me though?"
"Um...ya...sure."
"Promise?"
"Promise." Victoria whispered as she kissed his forehead.
Cho Chang was outside the Ravenclaw common room later that day. Victoria came walking up to the portrait of Athena.
"Where were you?" Cho asked coldly. Victoria looked rather surprised, Cho sounded as drawling as Draco Malfoy.
"At the Gryffindor tower." Victoria said softly.
"With Oliver, I pressume?" Cho muttered. Victoria nodded. Cho just rolled her eyes and said "Eiko Carol" and walked into the common room. Victoria followed her, and went straight to her bedroom. Vicky plopped down onto her bed and yawned. She really wanted to tell Oliver the truth, that she could truly see the future, but she couldn't. It was a family secret, a family value, it would break the family name. So Oliver, just couldn't know. Not yet.
The next day, Cho Chang came up to Oliver.
"So Wood, tell me if the Hufflepuffs you're practicing with are going to try anything, and I'll come save you just like Little Miss Princess Victoria did." Cho said flirtishly. Oliver chuckled sarcasticly and moved farther away from her.
"I didn't tell Victoria anything, she saw what Marcus was about to do- and came." Oliver said dreamily. For the first time ever, Cho wondered exactly how Victoria did know to save Oliver.
"Oh. But I was right next to her Oliver, and she was up in the air on her broom, before there were any signs of Marcus having anything up his sleeve." Cho got a blinking lightbulb above her head and smirked. "Unless...oh...my...gosh!"
"What!?" Oliver asked quickly. Cho looked stunned.
"No it's a crazy idea..." Cho whispered. Oliver laughed.
"How crazy can it be? Something as crazy as Victoria being able to tell the future?"
"No. But...what if Victoria is part of a plot Marcus Flint put together. What if she's been part of this plan all along- to help get rid of you, take your mind off quidditch, all so that Slytherin can win the Quidditch cup....And she saved you because of a guilty concionence."
"Cho...that's ridiculous. I'm sorry, but you...you got it all wrong, and have the strangest prediciments." Oliver said, as he rolled his eyes and quickly paced away from Cho. Cho grinned slyly.
"Well my part is done, that little thought will be in his head all day, until he talks to Victoria about it, and if I'm lucky- total disaster."
Meanwhile, Victoria was in the library researching for Herbology with Cedric Diggory. She and Cedric had begun to become good friends, and nothing more. Because at that moment, Victoria's mind was off, thinking about Oliver, instead of their project.
"Victoria...I know your thinking about Oliver, but can we pleaseeeeeee concentrate on the project? You must've really hit your head harder then I thought, to be this off task." Cedric said as he slammed a pile of books on underwater sea plants right infront of her. Victoria snapped up from her daze.
"Oh sorry." She said as she exchanged books on the table. "So, how are you and Cho doing?"
"Cho...she's been really not there lately. Like there in body, but not exactly in mind- if you know what I mean?"
"Ya, I think so. So she's been ignoring you?"
"Sorta, ya."
"Well that sucks, I'll talk to her when I can, if you want."
"That'd be great thanks!" Cedric said excitedly. Victoria grinned and nodded. As they read and worked, Victoria started to softly hum a song.
"You get me...When nobody understands...You come and take the chance...baby...you get me. You look inside my wild mind, never knowing what you'll find, and you still want me all the time." She softly sang to herself. Cedric looked up.
"Did you say sumthin?" He asked. Victoria smiled and shook her head.
"Just singing my favorite song..."
"And thinking about Oliver." They both said in unision and laughed.
Out on the quidditch field, Oliver was highly distracted. But it didn't matter, the Hufflepuff's couldn't practice much without their captain, Cedric Diggory.
"OLIVER! ARE YOU ALIVE!" Fred Weasley shouted as he flew past. Some Hufflepuff girl named Hannah flew by.
"Cedric Diggory isn't gonna be here, because he's working on a Herbology project in the library with Victoria Crescent." She sounded annoyed as she flew past them slowly. Oliver turned around upon hearing Victoria's name. God, he hated Cho Chang. She had gotten this whole stupid theory stuck in his head. It was so stupid! Because! Victoria would never do anything remotely like that, she would never lie to him! And they were in love!
"Oliver, what's up with you- you're like...blah!" Alicia Spinnet said as she whizzed by. "Lighten up!"
"Ya...ya...it's not that easy." Oliver murmured.
Cho Chang hid behind a book shelf in the library and watched Cedric and Victoria working. "Sorry Cedric baby, but this is something I'm just going to have to do." she murmured as she raised her wand. She pointed it towards Cedric and a tiny red stream of light erupted from it and hit Cedric in the eye. Cho ducked behind more books.
"Ow!" Cedric yelled out, he stood up quickly.
"What's wrong?" Victoria asked.
"There's something in my eye!!"
"Hold on!" Victoria stood up and walked over to him, she was inspecting his eye, but from Cho's position, it looked like more than that. Cho took out her instant development camera and took a flash-free picture of them. The photo (a moving one) appeared instantly in her hand. Cho grinned evily and dashed off.
"Ok, stand still!" Victoria squeaked, trying to protect herself from Cedric's flailing arms.
"It's not that easy!!!" Cedric yelled. Victoria pointed her wand at his eye and a bubbling jet of green stuff flew from it and splashed in Cedric's eye. Cedric stopped freaking out and calmed down. "Thanks."
Cho hid behind a collumn in the corridor, and saw the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor quidditch teams walking in from practice. Cho left the photo right in Oliver's path (He was walking ahead of the others). Oliver stopped dead in his tracks upon seeing a moving picture on the ground, he bent down and picked it up. Fred, George and Alicia were looking over his shoulder at the photograph. Oliver couldn't beleive his eyes. His girlfriend, the one he loved so much...more than anything in the world, the one who even got herself almost killed for him? Kissing Cedric Diggory!? Alicia gasped when she saw the picture. Everyone started staring at Oliver. Oliver crumpled the picture up in his angry fist and walked quickly away down the hall. Everyone was talking and whispering behind him. Then Cedric and Victoria came walking down the opposite end of the corridor, Victoria ran over to Oliver when she saw him.
"Hi!" She said. Oliver glared at her.
"Don't hi me, don't even talk to me anymore, you coniving, lieing, cheater!" Oliver yelled. Victoria looked shocked.
"What are you talking about!?" Victoria asked. Oliver glared at Cedric and shoved the photo in Victoria's hand. Vicky gasped. "Oliver, this isn't what it looks like."
"Then what the hell is it!?"
"Cedric got something in his eye, you can even ask him!" Oliver looked at Cedric and Cedric nodded.
"Ya, that's the oldest one in the book!" Oliver said. Cedric stepped forward.
"Oliver, she's telling you the truth! Me and Vicky aren't involved! I'm with Cho!" Oliver ignored Cedric completely.
"You keep lieing to me Victoria. How can I love someone who keeps lieing to me?" Oliver said angrily.
"I'm not lieing to you!"
"You won't even tell me how you knew to save my life! Marcus probably told you what he was going to do- and you saved me because you pitied me! Or something like that!"
"I can't beleive you'd think that!" Victoria cried. Tears were falling down her cheeks, and Oliver's eyes were glistening too.
"I don't know what to beleive or think anymore." Oliver said as he stormed away. Victoria's legs gave way, and she fell down to her knees crying. The other quidditch players standing by quickly dispersed. Alicia Spinnet walked by Vicky, and whispered.
"I'm sorry Vicky, I'll talk to him." And then she walked off again. Cedric bent down and gave Vicky a supportive hug. He knew Victoria loved Oliver very much, and would never do anyhing like that! Cedric might not have been very bright, but he knew right from wrong. And he hated seeing one of his best friends being hurt. Cedric thought he heard movement and muffled giggling, he looked up. In the cornor of his eye he saw the ends of a blue quidditch robe, small quidditch robes.
"Cho." Cedric muttered angrily.
