Parvati's View
"Well, well, well.....it's the new Ireland Keeper.....I know what you're up to", Parvati said in a quick, but sly tone. Oliver stopped in his tracks and stared at her, feeling dumbfounded, because he had no idea how the heck- but then Parvati interrupted his thoughts, "You're going upstairs to get a good night's sleep so you can be up early to practice with your team mates first thing in the morning." Parvati said, trying to hide the urge to laugh hysterically when she saw Oliver heave a big sigh. She wasn't going to tell him she knew about his feelings for Cho.....yet. "What are you doing here so early?" Oliver asked, trying to act casual, even though his facial expression showed something was going down. Parvati looked back at the fireplace and said, "I'm waiting for a few of my friends... CHO'S (She said that name the loudest lol) 16th Birthday is coming up, and Fred and George decided to help me out with a surprise party. They're the best party throwers in the whole school!" she said, smiling when she remembered the party they threw once after Harry had gotten through the first task in the Triwizard Tournament. "When is it?" Oliver asked, looking very anxious. Parvati smiled even more. "I knew it! He's dead interested in her! I can see it in his eyes" she thought, reeling in the bait. "It's next weekend" she said, glancing at the clock on the wall and getting up from her chair. "I forgot something in the dormitory. Hope to see you there!" Parvati said, and left Oliver alone in the common room.
Oliver's View
"Damn!" he said annoyed. He would be leaving on Cho's birthday with the guys to the Quidditch Dome, where they would practice their pre-acted out moves on the field. This was scheduled by his coach too! "The first practice and he decides to miss it!" He could hear his coach saying his mind. He didn't care though. If he loved Cho enough, he wouldn't miss her party for the world. He canceled his plan of going to the dormitory and ran back to the Great Hall to find Will and the other tem mates.
He came to the Great Hall, which was emptier now since everyone seem to have their full, and were leaving for the dormitory, except for a huge group of girls surrounding Will, Josh, and Max. "Jeez", he thought, "It's only the first day! What could Will be bragging about now ?" As he came closer to their table, a few girls spotted him coming, and said "Hey Oliver!" while some other girls burst into a fit of giggles. He decided to play along just once, when he got to the table and said in his most charming voice with that sweet accent, "Hi ladies", and there were more giggles. "Will, can I talk to you?" he said in a serious tone. Will excused himself from heaven for just a few moments. "What's up?" he said, giving Oliver his full attention. Oliver inhaled and said, "You know we have practice next week at the Quidditch Dome, but something came up and I can't be there!" he said, trying to keep his voice calm. Will looked at him for a moment and said, "Why not?" "Because there's this girl's party I got to be at, and if I don't show up, I could be considered a jerk straight from Parvati-" But Will stopped Oliver and said, "Easy Oliver! Just sit down and breathe! I'll just tell Coach you can't make it because of personal issues okay? But you can only do this so many times! We still have a problem though. We need a back up for you.....a replacement to go with us to the Quidditch Dome." Oliver, grateful for Will's understanding; thought, and said, "You know Harry Potter?"
