Chapter Six:
The beginning of October brought the cold winds of Autumn and the new Quidditch season. Quidditch practice was three evenings a week so Evelyn was left by herself. Late one evening Evelyn was sitting by the fire just watching it in a daze when the Quidditch team entered, Oliver walked over dropping his broom snapping Evelyn out of her dream.
"I thought everyone would be asleep by now." He said rubbing his hands together.
"I couldn't sleep. I can't believe you've been practising all this time, it's freezing outside." Evelyn replied.
"No kidding, feel my hands." Oliver said holding them out and Evelyn touched them.
"They're like ice, here." Evelyn replied standing up taking his hands into hers and rubbed them. Oliver watched wondering whether he should make a move or not.
"You really shouldn't practice till this late, someone might get sick." Evelyn added grabbing a blanket from the sofa wrapping it round his shoulders.
"I like you Evelyn." Oliver blurted and she looked at him.
"I like you too."
"No. I mean I really like you, I want us to be more than friends." Oliver replied and her mouth opened but no words came out so she took a deep breath letting it out slowly.
"Like a couple?" She asked and he nodded.
"Look if you don't feel the same it's okay I'll get over it." Oliver replied when she flung her arms round his neck kissing him. Oliver got over the initial shock wrapping his arms round her waist deepening their kiss before they pulled apart slightly, catching their breaths.
"I wasn't expecting that." Oliver said and Evelyn giggled.
"Neither was I but I do like you Oliver always have." Evelyn replied as Oliver rubbed his thumb across her cheek affectionately
"So you want to be a couple?" He asked and she kissed him again.
The next morning Evelyn woke with a smile upon her face, she quickly showered and dressed before heading downstairs to see Alicia and Katie talking well Katie seemed to be yelling but Evelyn couldn't make out the words, Katie caught sight of Evelyn and stormed out of the common room.
"What's her problem?" Evelyn asked as Alicia sighed.
"She seems to think Oliver asked you out, in fact she said she saw the two of you making out last night." Alicia replied and Evelyn looked at her feet playing with her belt on her jeans.
"Evy, I told Katie she was wrong she was wasn't she?" Alicia asked.
"No, Oliver did ask me out and we did make out, but I swear I didn't know Katie was there." Evelyn replied and Alicia squealed hugging her.
"This is great news my two favourite people are together."
"Gezz Alicia calm down." Evelyn replied as Oliver came down with Harry both deep in discussion.
"Morning you two." Evelyn said and Oliver smiled as he walked over pulling her close kissing her, Harry's mouth dropped open.
"Okay what the hell is going on?" He asked as they pulled apart.
"Oliver and Evy are going out." Alicia replied almost beside herself.
"My captain and cousin are going out, since when did you like Oliver Evy?, you always told me you hated Quidditch players." Harry said and Oliver raised an eyebrow.
"Mind your own business Harry, now if you don't mind I'm staving." Evelyn replied leading Oliver out of the common room.
Halloween morning arrived, the school was buzzing, breakfast was eaten quickly. Evelyn walked down with Harry, Ron and Hermione.
"Maybe next year Harry, one year without Hogsmeade won't be bad." Evelyn said.
"She's right y'know, we'll bring you back heaps of stuff." Ron replied and Harry nodded.
"Yeah I'll see you at the feast tonight." Harry said waving goodbye. Evelyn sighed as she saw Oliver and the Slytherin Quidditch captain Marcus Flint exchanging words.
"Oliver lets get going." Evelyn said grabbing his arm.
"Harlow you break my heart going out with Wood." Flint said.
"What a shame Flint it's not like you had a chance anyway." Evelyn replied smiling sweetly as she pulled Oliver away into a carriage which took them to Hogsmeade.
"Jerk." Oliver muttered as they walked along the dirt road past many shops.
"He's a Slytherin what do you expect." Evelyn replied as they entered Three Broomsticks to see it crowded with Hogwarts students all trying to escape the cold winds. Evelyn grabbed a table while Oliver got their drinks, Oliver appeared not long later handing Evelyn her drink.
"Oh I forgot to tell you, the Puddlemere United scouts are coming this Christmas." Oliver said taking a swig from his drink.
"Really, is my father coming?" Evelyn asked slowly.
"Yeah he sent me a letter the other day." Oliver replied and Evelyn looked at her glass.
"Is something the matter?" Oliver asked putting his glass down.
"My father always has time for Quidditch but never his own daughter." Evelyn replied as Oliver touched her hand giving her a warm smile.
"I'm sure that's not true." He said.
"I haven't talked to my parents in almost two years but don't worry about my family problems" Evelyn replied putting on a smile.
"You always have me and your friends not to mention Harry who care for you." Oliver said and Evelyn leaned in kissing him.
"Thank you, now lets go shopping." She said taking his hand and they left their warm haven out into the cold wind.
