Chapter 6-Harry, Qudditch in the Rain, and the realization
Dana and James had talked about "their" plan all during lunch with no interruptions, and after lunch they decided to go back to the common room, Dana's sanctuary away from Patricia. When they got there Oliver was no were to be seen, but Harry and Ron were there. Dana asked, "Ron, have you seen Oliver anywhere?" Ron smiled and said, "Nope sorry, what about you Harry?" Harry shook his head but then remembered, "Oh, I am so sorry, I forgot to tell you! He was looking for you." Dana asked, "When?" Harry blushed and said, "Um, before lunch. He had...that new girl.I dunno her name.she had black hair, uh...acted kinda stuck up." James looked displeased and Dana could only react in one way. She bent down and gave Harry the biggest hug in the world. When she let go she said, "Harry. You will always be my friend." Harry smiled and looked at Ron with a puzzled expression, and James just stood there. Harry added, "Oh yeah, later we have Qudditch practice, so he'll be on the field." Dana smiled at what seemed to be her new best friend and said thanks.
James and Dana decided to just go about their own ways for the rest of the day, and at dinner Dana ate alone. She needed time to think about what was going on. Then, her courage left her as she ate some chicken. She couldn't believe she had...kissed a complete stranger! Then, out of no where she began to laugh, some Gryffindors and Slytherins looked at her and probably thought she was mad but she just kept giggling until she realized Oliver wasn't at the table.
After dinner she went up to the common room to get her thick robe because she was going to be going outside and it was still drizzly. She was going to go find Oliver. So she'd start at the field to see if he got an early start on practice. By time she got to the field it was pouring really hard. She could only see one thing in the sky tossing a Quaffle back and forth. It was Oliver and he was soaked. He saw Dana and zoomed down. Dana said, "Oliver! What are you doing up there? Wasn't Qudditch practice cancelled?" Oliver shook his head and exclaimed, "The team wouldn't get off that easy." He looked around, "So where's James? Just and hour long fancy?" Dana was so mad she could have taken her coat off and been warm. She retorted, "Where's Patricia? I am surprised she isn't in the stands or..on the broom with you!" Oliver shook his head and said, "Dana, we aren't kissing in the hallways!" Dana feeling ashamed beyond control and mad she just turned around and started walking back towards the castle in the rain and the dark started to drape the sky. She was so mad she couldn't stand it! She wanted to go find Patricia and....do something really bad to her. So she was walking away, but Oliver zoomed down in front of her and said, "Dana. Let me give you a zoom back to the castle." Dana said, "What? Suddenly feeling bad for me? YOU'RE THE ONE I FEEL BAD FOR!" Oliver angrily asked over a crack of thunder, "WHY ME?" Dana screamed, "Because you don't even see why I kissed him. It really is a pity thing Oliver." Oliver just stared at her in the rain and let her run back to the common room.
As Dana sloshed through the corridor, careful not to run into to Filch, was almost to the Fat Pink Lady, when she realized that there was a line of muddy foot prints leading from the entrance to behind her....she thought, "No He couldn't have gotten back that fast." The fat lady said, "My goodness girl! You are all muddy!" Dana smiled and said, "Like I couldn't tell. Tinkle Sprinkle." The Fat lady gave her a smirk and opened. Dana ran into the common room to see Oliver sitting in the armchair. In her chair. And he was wetter than her.
She said, "Oliver? How did you....why are you in my chair?" Oliver just looked at her. Didn't say anything, just sat there. Dana sat down on the couch and said, "Oliver.." Oliver stared at the fire. Dana said, "So you realized why I did it." Oliver turned and said, "Dana, I kind of understood before you told me. I guess I just didn't want to think about it. I thought it was all just about Patricia and James." Dana smiled and took a deep breath. She said, "So..then I guess our plan is toast." Oliver asked, "Whose Plan?" Dana smiled and said, "Well..nevermind. I have just changed my mind about some things, and if it helps you, I really didn't mean anything by the kiss, and don't think of me as a boy chasing.one-hour fancier. I have liked some people longer than for a year." She waited for him to respond but he just sat staring at the fire. So she said, " I have to get to bed. Today was too packed, I can't believe all the things that happened today.." She checked off her fingers as she said, "New students, fighting.Oh and Oliver, if you see James tell him it is off. The plan."
You know. I like this story, but you know what I realized? That this has all happened in one day? I have to work on that 0.o;
