"I am making a resolution for this year at Hogwarts," I told my best friend, Mandy Livingston as we got on the Hogwarts Express at Platform 9 and ¾.
"And what is that?" She answered with a smirk on her face. She knew what it was.
"I will get Oliver Wood to fall in love with me." I said while we walked down the hall on the train. We passed by Oliver and I gave him a flirty smile. He gave a little nod. I practically melted.
"Get a hold of yourself!" Mandy whispered, helping me up. We found a place to sit in with 2 of our good friends, Laura Carey and Jacqueline Summers. And a plus was that it was right across from Oliver.
"Hey! Liz and Mandy! How was your summer?" Laura practically screamed. They got up and we gave them hugs and sat down. The train began to leave.
"Oh my goodness, Lizzie did you see Oliver?" Jacqueline said to me quietly.
"Of course. He is as cute as ever." I said looking over at him. He was laughing. I sighed. He was perfect for me.
"He will totally fall for you this year. He likes you. I can tell" Jacqueline said with a mischievous smile on her face. I hope she is right. Then again, she actually thought Cedric Diggory liked her last year and she embarrassed herself completely. We talked for the rest of the ride and finally we got there. Then, something good happened. I was rushing off the train when I ran into my dear Oliver. My head hit his chest and I felt the warmth and the clean scent of him.
"Oh my! I'm so sorry Oliver!" I cried nervously.
"It's fine Liz." He gave me a sweet smile. I hurried off the train to tell my girls about it. They were already in the castle so I ran to it.
When I got in the Great Hall I sat down next to Laura. Someone tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around. It was Oliver.
"Is this seat taken?" He asked pointing to the seat next to me.
"Er, nope." I said with a smile. He sat down. The sorting began. Anytime a Gryffindor was sorted, we all got up and cheered. The new password was Sugar Quill. We went through the portrait of the Fat Lady and up to the rooms. As usual, my girls' beds and my bed were right next to each other. We got settled in and went down to the Common Room to hang out.
