"Why didn't you tell me that you knew one of her friends?" asked Oliver as they walked back to the common room.

"I didn't know." Andrew tried to say without laughing. "I didn't think that you liked her that much. I guess that she would be your latest crush now."

"Why does it matter if she is or isn't. I know you. If I say one way or the other you will be like 'Oliver has a crush' or 'Oliver and Anndi sitting' in a tree.' you spend too much time watching your older sister and her boyfriend making out." He replied trying not to laugh at his joke.

"You know what. You are so annoying at times. I have to say that the way you two are acting now is a lot better than earlier this morning." Yelled Sean trying to be heard over Oliver and Andrew wrestling on the floor. "I hope you two are happy with looking stupid!" and he jumped in on beating up Oliver.

Anndi and her friends were on their way to the library to talk when one of their least favorite people ran into them.

"Well, well, well." Said the latest Slytherin bully." If it isn't Miss Mud- blood and her stupid little friends."

"Will you just go away, Draco." Said Jess in an annoyed tone. "We don't want to be seen with a greasy haired monkey like yourself. Go back to the jungle."

"I'd watch your back. You don't want half of the school to beat you up because of your stupid remarks."

"It would be a quarter of the school because the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs aren't stupid enough to join your little group. They were smart enough to not be put in Slytherin." Lindsay said in a know it all tone.

"Just because you are smart doesn't mean that you have to show it off Hawk." Draco said as her was walking away to meet up with Marcus Flint.

"They are so annoying!" said Allison as they walked into the library. "Why can't they just leave well enough alone. You'd think that with everything that has happened today they would have some sort of feelings."

"You have to remember Allison that Slytherins have no feelings. You should have heard some of them earlier. They said that Chris was just a stupid boy that couldn't handle anything." Jess said as they found a table in the corner by a window.

The four friends talked about Chris and Oliver for a while and then the dinner bell rang. As they were walking to the great hall they saw some Ravenclaws gathered around a heap on the floor. When they got there they saw a small Gryffindor boy curled up on the floor. His name was Ryan Willaby. He was one of Chris' little brothers that was old enough to be in Hogwarts. No on knew why he was curled up on the floor. They had all assumed that it was because of Chris so they left. Anndi and her friends didn't know what to do so they left as well.

By the time that Oliver, Andrew and Sean got there the food was almost gone. There weren't any open seats at the Gryffindor table besides the few at the front of the hall where Anndi, Lindsay and Jess were sitting. Oliver and his friends sat down next to them.

"Where's Allison?" asked Andrew as he sat down.

"Over with her boyfriend at the Ravenclaw table. She was done here and moved over there." Said Jess through a mouthful of pumpkin bread.

The six of them had a blast during dinner. They had a mini food fight girls against boys and of course the girls won. After that they tried to see who could chug the most pumpkin juice. With all the laughter that came from their little corner of the world you would think that they were at a carnival or fair. At nine o'clock they all headed up to the Gryffindor common room. As Lindsay, Jess, Sean and Andrew climbed in the portrait hole Oliver pulled Anndi off to the side to talk.

"Listen, I just wanted to thank you for everything you did for me today. I really appreciate it. And I want to let you know that I would do the same for you."

"Oliver, what are you trying to get at. I'm not all that great at anything but making people feel better is something that makes me feel like I am good at something. I'm glad-"

As Anndi's words kept making less and less sense Oliver leaned in to give her a kiss. But as their lips were half an inch apart Ryan came running up to them in a screaming fit.

"Sly-Slytherins tried to-they put a spell on me. Oliver can you help me PLEASE."

"What kind of spell did they cast?"

"One that started with bibbity-bobbity.something. I ran off before they finished."

"Ryan, that's not a spell. It's from a Muggle movie called Cinderella." Anndi said reassuringly.

"Are you sure? They had their wands out and everything."

"Yes I'm sure. I was raised on Muggle movies. You aren't in any danger from those words."

"Thanks." Ryan said as he climbed into the common room.

"See you are good at something. You are good at lots of things. Just because it doesn't seem like it to you doesn't mean that it's not there. I guess the moment is kinda ruined now." Said Oliver in a whisper because the portrait was still open.

"Are you coming in my dears?" said the pink lady in the picture. "It is getting late and I am tired.

Anndi and Oliver climbed in the doorway and took their separate ways. It was getting late as the pink lady said and they had classes tomorrow.
