Ch. 2 Greek Goddess.

Ron, Draco, and Wood went to their dormitory. "Wow," said Draco. "That Kostas is a real sweetie." "Yeah, and one of the hottest birds I've ever seen, after Lav, of course," Ron replied. "Hey, you've been awfully quiet tonight. What do you think of her?" he continued, now directing the conversation towards Wood. "Oh, I think she's great," he answered politely. But inside he was screaming. She's a Greek goddess and I love her! I want to marry her! I want to be hers and only hers! Ron and Draco passed a few confused looks, considering the fact that next to quidditch, girl were Wood's favorite pastime. After a few more comments among them (really only between Draco and Ron, as Wood's thoughts were still throbbing with ideas of Kostas) Ron stood, yawned, said goodnight, and went to bed. Draco soon followed suit, leaving Oliver alone with his thoughts. Trying to sort himself out, he lay staring at the ceiling until he drifted into dreams of the woman he had fallen for just hours ago.

"So tell me about his Wood," Kostas urged Lav after she had finished with the other characters she had grown to know so well. "Well, let's see," Lav began. "Well, if you haven't noticed, he's quite older than the rest of us. He's not thick or anything. But, see, he was quidditch captain at Hogwarts and everyone knew he would become a professional keeper, and.wait, before I go any further, do they have quidditch in Greece?" she asked wide-eyed Kostas. "Oh, yes. We love it back home. As much, if not more than, you Brits. Go on," stated Kostas. "Anyway," she began again. "he traveled around for a long time, but none of the keeper positions ever came open! Not even a reserve! So now he's headed to university to decide what else he could possibly do other than design quidditch plays and keep quaffles out of hoops," Lav finished. Kostas bit her lip and said, a bit nervously, "Well, er, Lav? I hope you don't think this is a bit forward, but." "Yes?" Lav urged excitedly. "Er, does he have a girlfriend?" she blurted. Lav leapt up and grabbed the nearest stuffed animal and began dancing around the room. "Oh, I was hoping you'd ask that! I can tell he likes you! And he desperately needs a girlfriend! And.wait! Now our group is complete! Oh, Kostas, I could kiss you!"
