Chapter 6 – More interruptions in the Locker Room

As usual Quidditch training was long, hard and sweaty. I had volunteered to clean up the Quidditch gear while everyone went and had their showers. I was just walking into the locker rooms carrying the Quidditch trunk when a thought struck me.

"Oliver." I called out watching my feet being careful not to tread on something.

There was no answer so I dropped the trunk on the floor and walked to the boy's showers. The soft noise of running water filled my ears as I drew closer. I smiled knowing that it would be Oliver.  The shower stopped as I approached and Oliver stepped out wearing only a towel. He smiled at me.

"I thought you were cleaning up." He said cheekily.

I shook my head and put on a mock tone of seriousness.

"Do you think I have nothing better to do Mr. Wood than clean up your Quidditch gear?"

Oliver smiled and adjusted his towel so that it was tied together.

"My Quidditch gear?! Don't you mean the teams Quidditch gear?" He asked tugging at my sweaty robes. 

I smiled and pulled my robes out of his grasp. I bet I probably looked atrocious and sweaty after all the practice that I had been doing.  

"Yes I guess so." I said as he leaned into to kiss me.

He chuckle on my lips and kissed me passionately as my hands moved down his Quidditch moulded muscular chest. I felt him smile and he pulled me closer resting his hands on my waist. There were footsteps in the hall and I heard a locker slam. Oliver and I pulled apart. He looked at me quizzically and walked towards the locker room. Bloody second time today that we had been interrupted.

"Who's there?" he asked questionably stopping in the doorway of the locker room.

"It's me O." I heard Michelle say.

I immediately cringed but thanked Merlin that I had heard the footsteps. I saw Oliver relax slightly. He smiled.

"Shell what are you doing here?" he asked nervously as he entered the locker room. That was the last I heard of the conversation, as they were both out of sight.

Knowing that it probably wouldn't look too good if I followed Oliver into the locker room while he was wearing a towel and only a towel I opted to have a shower myself. I quietly snuck back down the corridor that separated the locker room from the boy's showers. I reached the door way to the locker room and I very quietly snuck to the other side of the door that was the girl's showers.  I waved my wand to turn on the shower while I took off my sweat gear and jumped it.  I had no idea that it was going to be this hard trying to keep an affair secret. But then Affair seemed like a wrong way to describe what was going on between Oliver and I, even if truth be told that's what it was. I quickly gave my body a scrub, I would have a proper shower later in the dorm and I turned off the shower listening intently for conversation. Strangely enough there was none. Wow that was quick enough for the locker room to be vacated. I grabbed my towel and opened the stall door. I came face to face with Michelle who was sitting on the seat in front of my stall. I gave a jump and clutched my chest. She was the last person I would expect to see in a Quidditch locker room.

"Geez Shell you scared the living daylights out of me!" I grumbled stepping out of the stall.

She laughed.

"Well Oliver and I though that it would was little stupid for you to have a shower with out any clothes." She said holding up a pair of jeans, robe and a t-shirt.

She smiled stating that she was better that I was. I did a mental head slap. Sometimes I was such a blonde. I had worked so hard over the years to prove that I wasn't a typically one but occasionally I snapped back into blonde mode. I smiled sweetly and took the clothes from Michelle's hand. She turned around so I could get dressed.

"Thank you Shell." I said pulling the t-shirt over my head. "But I though that you weren't talking to me?"

She nodded.

"I wasn't. It's thanks to Cedric that I have forgiven you."

I rolled my eyes. I didn't even do anything to her! It's just that she is so selfish and only thinks about herself. I rolled my eyes and slid on my pair of jeans and robe.

" You can turn around now." I said hanging up my towel. "What did Cedric do anyway?"

She turned around and grinned at me.

"Well…." She said sighing dramatically and getting up out of her seat. "He explained to me why you were so angry and why you yelled at Oliver and I."

Goddamn Cedric. Maybe this was a bad idea. I nodded all the same knowing that she was wrong.

"And why was I angry?" I asked picking up my Quidditch gear.

She smiled.

"He said that because you guys had been out late last night," she smiled devilishly. "You hadn't studied an were worried about our Potions prac tomorrow."

Shit I had a Potions practical tomorrow! Bugger. I didn't even know that we had a Potions practically tomorrow and that is the reason that I supposedly yelled at Oliver and Michelle.  I nodded pretending that it was right.

"Friends?" I asked raising my eyebrows.

Michelle smiled and jumped up to hug me.

"Friends!" she said excitedly.

Ok so I lied we weren't friends but how many times do I have to explain that I have to act like her friend? Huh?

"Wait.." I said folding up my gear. "When did you speak to Cedric?"

She smiled.

"On the way here."

"Cedric is here?" I asked pretending to be excited.

Michelle nodded.

"Yep." She said excitedly.

I heard a scuffle in the locker room. Oh no.

"Cedric is here in the Gryffindor Quidditch Locker Room where he is not welcome on two accounts as he is a Hufflepuff and because Oliver hates him?"

Michelle turned green and frowned.

"Yes." She said in an unusually high voice.

We both hesitated and ran into the locker room. Oliver had Cedric pinned up against a row of Lockers and he was holding him a couple of inches above the ground by Cedric robes. I ran forward and pulled Cedric out of Oliver reach.

"Oliver what were you doing?" Michelle shrieked eyeing Oliver like a hawk.

He frowned.

"Shouldn't the question be why is he here?" Oliver spat not taking he eyes of Cedric. "He's not welcome in Gryffindor's Locker Room! My Locker Room."

Cedric frowned and readjusted him robes.

"I came to see Katie." He spat back. "And trust me I have no pleasure being in your stupid Gryffindor Locker Room. If it wasn't that my girlfriend was in Gryffindor I would even dream of being here!"

"She's not your girlfriend!" Oliver yelled trying to pull out of Michelle's grasp.

I held up my hands to stop them arguing at each other and because I need to cover up Oliver's stupid mistake. Oliver was so cute when he was jealous. Well I knew he was jealous Michelle just thought that Oliver was being a prick. Surprisingly Michelle didn't even realise what Oliver had just said.

"Number one," I said turning to Oliver. "Yes I am Cedric's girlfriend just accept it." I looked to Cedric. "Number two, you could have seen me when I returned to the castle. What do you want?"

Cedric nodded whiled Oliver continued to eye him off.

"I wanted to know if you want to have lunch with me in Hogsmere as it is a Hogsmere weekend."

I Nodded.

"Sure." I said smiling.

Michelle smiled.

"Hey that's great you guys are going out for lunch and so are we! Except we're having a picnic beside the lake." She added happily.

Oliver glared at her.

"Not that it matters right now…" She said pretending to be interested in a hole in the floor.

I laughed silently at Michelle's idiotic contribution to our conversation.

"Ok then let's go Cedric." I said leading him out of the Locker room and waving goodbye to Oliver and Shell.

This is great…" Cedric said leading me across the grounds and towards the school gates and Hogsmere. "Because we need to talk."
