Chapter five --- The perfect gift.
This was Oliver's last day with Hermione and he intended to make it special. What would he do? Buy her a book?
Take her out to dinner? No. . .it had to be something she would *never* forget. But what? Oliver racked his brain for a good idea. Nothing. Frustrated, he let out an exasperated sigh. What the fudge could he do?! (A/N I'm sorry but I don't swear! Hehe!) Just then, an idea knocked him out of his chair. THAT'S IT! Oliver scurried out of the house and into the garden forest. He scanned the garden for some edible herbs and such.
20 minutes later. . .
Oliver was busily chopping up roots and stems and such when he heard Hermione come into the house. He quickly tossed the diced plants into a pot and placed it on top of a stove. Hermione came bounding into the kitchen looking positively tired. "Hermione!" Oliver greeted enthusiastically. She nodded and sat down.
Oliver took the seat next to her. "Are you feeling okay, Herm?" he asked, placing a hand on her forehead. "OH GOOD BROOMS, YOUR HOT!" He exclaimed, yanking his hand back and blowing it. Hermione didn't say anything but instead, rested her head on the table. "You're sick. You look pale too. Have you been vomiting?" Oliver asked. She barely nodded. "Eat something."
"No." she said. "Why not? You need to eat!" Hermione shook her head and closed her eyes. Oliver panicked. What the heck was wrong with her? She's anorexic and she doesn't want to eat! GREAAATTTT. . . ! Oliver sighed heavily and stroked her back gently. "Please eat." He pleaded softly.
Slowly, very slowly, her eyes fluttered open. "I can't." she whispered. "Why not?" Oliver asked. "I just can't."
Oliver carried her to their room and laid her on the bed. "Are you feeling cold?" he asked. She coughed and nodded. She was shivering. He pulled the covers up to her neck and got into bed himself. He wrapped his arms around her and let her fall asleep.
***
Oliver awoke with a start. He forgot about the potion he was brewing! Quietly, he slipped out of the bed and made his way softly to the kitchen. Once he was inside the kitchen, he closed the doors and checked on the potion. Perfect! It was ready! He poured it into a silver flask and tied a gold ribbon on it.
"Hermione will love this," he said, beaming.
***
Hermione got out of bed and ran to the bathroom. She felt nauseous again. Kneeling in front of the toilet, she began vomiting uncontrollably. She heard Oliver's panicked cries. He burst into the bathroom. "Hermione!" He quickly set the flask down and kneeled beside her. He let her lean on him for support once she was done. She was perspiring and pale. "Oliver," she whispered weakly. She could hardly move due to the lack of food. "I'm here, Hermione. Don't worry, I'm here," he assured her. She gave a small cry. The potion! Oliver grabbed the flask that was sitting behind him and opened it. A spicy scent filled the air.
"Drink this," he said. Hermione didn't respond. He tilted her head and opened her mouth. Gently and carefully, he let the thick, gooey liquid flow easily down her throat. Hermione wanted to push it away but was too weak. What the heck was he doing to her?
"Done," Oliver said, satisfied. He threw the flask into the garbage bin and fanned Hermione with a Witch Weekly magazine to keep her cool. [I hope it works.] Oliver thought. He carried her off to bed and set her down. Tomorrow, he would bring her to the doctors.
***
"So is she okay?" Oliver asked Dr. Woodenwickle. The plump doctor gave him a huge smile. "I don't know what happened! She's completely cured! She's gained 15 pounds!" Oliver smiled. "It's like someone used a antirexialusaphus potion on her. Those are very hard to find! Why, if I had a flask filled to the brim with such, I'd give it to every anorexic patient I treated but unfortunately it's well. . .very, very hard to find."
Oliver beamed. "Well, she's completely cured?" he confirmed. The doctor nodded. "Well, Mrs. Wood, it looks like I'll never see you again, eh? That's a good thing!"
Hermione laughed. "Yes doctor, thank you for all your help!" Oliver and Hermione exited St. Mungos and headed for home.
"I wonder what cured me?" Hermione mused. Oliver grinned. "Do you know that potion I made you drink in the bathroom?" he asked. Hermione nodded. "That was the antirexialusaphus potion I made. All the ingredients were in the garden forest."
Hermione's eyes widened. "Oh my gosh, Oliver!" she kissed him. Oliver laughed and kissed her back.
Finally, she pulled back, still smiling. "Oliver, thank you!" she gushed. Oliver chuckled. "Don't mention it. I just wanted you to remember this day," he said. "Oh believe me," Hermione said. "I will."
***
Oliver and Hermione stood in the center of the garden forest. "Well, this is it," Oliver said. Hermione nodded. For some reason, she wasn't the least bit sad. So what if Oliver went back to the past?
Her 29-year-old Oliver would be back in a couple of hours, so what was the difference? Hermione handed Oliver the time turner. "12 turns, love." She said. Oliver grinned and took it from her. "I love you, okay?" he said. Hermione smiled and kissed him softly. "Love you too." She whispered.
Oliver started to turn the time turner. 1. . .2. . .3. . .4. . .5. . .6. . .7. . .8. . . 9. . .10. . . 11. . . 12! Before Oliver vanished, Hermione called out to him. "OLIVER! I LOVE YOU! SAY HELLO TO ME!" and with a flash of blinding white light, he was gone.
