Belle Fleur
Chapter 2
To touch or not to touch
Olivia followed Hermione down into Snape's dungeon after a tiresome History of Magic. The class was half full and Hermione hurried to her seat next to Ron. She began to follow but the man that must be Professor Snape approached her.
"Ah, Miss Harrington. I am Professor Snape. You see in my classes the seats are set. Go and sit next to Miss Brown and we can begin." Olivia hurried over to sit on the stone table top next to Lavender and Parvati. She half listened to Snape when he began but was more focused on looking round the room. The walls were covered with shelves filled with nasty looking objects like eyeballs or vicious weeds.
Harry, Ron and Hermione sat on the bench behind her and to her left she saw Draco Malfoy, with a girl she took to be Pansy, clinging to his arm. She looked at Malfoy and saw he didn't really return the adoring looks from Pansy.
"Ahem" Olivia looked up and saw Snape standing right in front of her. "Think you're too clever to pay attention in my lessons? Well then what ingredient must be added to a Swelling solution."
Olivia didn't know she could feel the whole class staring at her. She would have asked Hermione but she was behind her.
"Arrowroot" Olivia whirled around to see Draco smirking at her. Snape frowned.
"Correct Mr .Malfoy. I can see Beauxbatons wasn't up to scratch. "With that Snape went up to his desk and stayed their for the rest of the lesson. When she got up to leave her bag fell open. After she had picked up her things the class was nearly empty. She headed for the door when she felt someone touch her backside and then they pushed past her, dropping a note into her hands. Olivia looked up, shocked but no one was there and forgetting about lunch made her way back to Gryffindor Tower.
Olivia hurried and entered her dormitory but was pre-occupied when she saw Lavender sitting on her bed crying.
"Oh, hi Olivia I thought everyone would be at lunch. "
"What's up Lavender?" she said consolingly. For the next half hour Lavender poured out her heart to her. How Seamus Finnigan had decided to break up with her and go out with a Ravenclaw instead before he told her. Olivia tried to be comforting and once Lavender was feeling better they got ready for their next lessons and left.

Transfiguration and Charms went by slowly and Olivia found she wasn't as bad at these subjects and went down to supper. After eating her meal even faster then Ron she ran back to Gryffindor Tower and opened her note.
Lovely Olivia, I've really begun to like you, you know. I know you're a Gryffindor and hang out with people like Potter but I've given you a chance. I'd really love for you to meet me tomorrow evening at 7pm down on the fourth floor in classroom E so we can get to know each other.
See you then Draco
When Hermione came back up that evening she decided not to show her the note yet and they went down into the common room and finished their homework. She promised Lavender she would do her make-up especially tomorrow to show Seamus what he was missing and with that went up to bed. She woke in the morning later and feeling more refreshed. After making Lavender look amazing she dressed and accompanied the girls to breakfast.
She saw Draco as she entered and he winked at her. Before she could smile back Hermione had yanked her arm and pulled her down on the bench. She took a piece of toast and started talking to Ron about the Quidditch trials which were the following evening. Harry entered the Great Hall and made his way over to the table. As soon as he saw Olivia his stomach flipped, her hair was tied up today in a sleek bun and she was laughing with Ron.
"I always liked Quidditch as a chaser but I've always wanted to try and be a seeker not on the team or anything but just to try. I didn't really get the chance at Beauxbaton." Olivia was explaining to Ron.
"Well I'm the Keeper but aha" he paused as he saw Harry sit down," Man of the moment. Harry's the Gryffindor seeker I bet he could give you a few private lessons." Ron winked at Harry.
"Really would you Harry that would be really nice." Harry felt as though his voice had gone.
"Yeah" he croaked. "What time would be okay? Maybe after the Quidditch trials?" Olivia agreed and she and Hermione left the table.
"So do you like her that much already?" Ron asked Harry.
"What you mean Olivia? No" he lied.
"Come on I saw you looking at her and now's you're opportunity give her Quidditch lessons. You haven't looked at anyone like that since Cho."
"Great opportunity. Why would she like me? Look at her she's amazing. "
"Just talk to her she is a human being you know. Anyway we're going to be late for old Trewlawney if we don't hurry up, talk to her then."
