Chapter 5
Suggestions
Olivia could still feel Harry wrapped underneath her arms as she recalled their meeting. He was the only one he had told about her mother. It had past lunch as she still hadn't had a chance to properly speak to him. She went to Herbology with the Hufflepuffs in hope of seeing him then but met him on his way.
"Guess what." Harry asked her.
"No idea."
"I've just spoken to Angelina Johnson. You made the team, you're a chaser." Olivia ran up and hugged him tightly; Harry was taken aback once again but was happy for her. "So I'll be seeing you tomorrow and the Fridays after that for team practise."
They made their way to Herbology just in time and Olivia dashed to sit next to Hermione and paired up with her to peel the Bubpotuber seeds. Nasty pus- filled things, the task to most of the lesson. At the end of the class she was greeted by two Hufflepuff boys. The taller of the two had sandy blond hair, a few freckles and a prefect's badge on his chest and went and introduced himself.
"Hi. I'm Ernie Macmillan, Hufflepuff prefect." The shorter one had darker, ruffled hair and went next.
"My name's Justin Finch-Fletchely. I'm in Hufflepuff too." Both boys were still gawping at her.
"Olivia. Olivia Harrington."
"Nice to meet you Olivia, hopefully we'll see you around." With that Ernie and Justin left and Olivia caught up with Harry, Ron and Hermione who had been watching and waiting for her.

Olivia enjoyed supper but left so she could owl her father. After picking up Artemis who was well-rested, she sat down on her bed to write.
Dear Daddy,
I've got some great friends here at Hogwarts including Harry Potter. He flew with me after the Quidditch trials and is so nice. I'm also good friends with Hermione Granger and two other girls Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil.
I made Chaser for the Gryffindor (yes I made Gryffindor) team. Looking forward to team practises.
Sending all my love

She rolled up the parchment and attached it to the owl's leg letting her fly out the open window. Olivia picked up her school scarf from the table accidentally knocking over her ink pot.
"Bugger." She swore and pulled out her wand. "Scourgify!" The ink puddle and glass shards disappeared and she made her way into the Common Room. She passed the Fat Lady and went through the Entrance Hall. It was colder then it had been last night and so she wrapped her scarf tight around her and walked behind the bushes so the approaching members of the Slytherin Team wouldn't see her coming.
Once they had all gone she came out and walked over to the Quidditch pitch. She couldn't see Draco she walked aimlessly around the playing field until she felt two hands pick her up. Olivia turned and saw herself in Draco's arm. He carried her over into the unlocked changing rooms and sat her down.
"I thought we'd come in here at little less cold." He told her.
"How was practise? You promised to show me some moves."
"Oh. You wanted me to show you some Quidditch moves?" Olivia smirked at him.
"No." It was much warmer in the changing rooms and she took off her scarf and her heavy school robes. She kept her uniform on though and Olivia leaned over and kissed him. It was passionate this time and he took her in his arms. She fumbled to try and undo his Quidditch robe while still kissing him. They broke apart she smiled seductively at him. They talked a bit but were pretty much glued together for the rest of the evening.
Olivia glanced down at her watch, half nine, kissed him one last time, pulled on her robe, grabbed her scarf and ran off. Draco ran after her and took her hand as they walked back to school.

Hermione was waiting for her when Olivia returned that night.
"Livvy! Where have you been?" She hadn't told Hermione about Draco yet but she couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Draco Malfoy!" Hermione had been angry at first but as long as he wasn't hurting her it would be okay. Hermione secretly knew that Harry liked her too but didn't say anything to her that night.
The next week passed and Olivia would stay with Harry after team practise and continued her secret meetings with Draco.
Malfoy had been biding his time. He had seen Harry cosy-ing up to Olivia after their team practises. He knew Olivia was his anyway but no competition was better then only a little bit. Gryffindor would be playing Quidditch against Slytherin the following weekend and he would see to Potter then.
Harry was wiped out. Angelina had been organising extra practises for the coming match against Slytherin. The good thing was he got to spend more time flying and talking to Olivia.
*** "Welcome to today's match against Slytherin and Gryffindor!" Lee Jordan's voice boomed out across the packed stadium.
The cheering was tumultuous as the Gryffindor team set out onto the pitch. Olivia was nervous but it would be fun. From the opposite side the of the pitch came the sea of green. She saw Malfoy emerge from the back and her stomach flipped.
The game went well it she and Angelina scored twice.
"Well there's Angelina and Olivia again. May I point out they're both excellent flyers and rather attractive girls too."
"Jordan!" Shouted Professor McGonnagal's voice. The match was quite dirty, Angelina and George Weasley both got nasty bludgers hits and Harry was nearly knocked off his broom. She realised that none of the other team had come near to her when she was in possession of the Quaffle. Olivia looked over at Draco but he just winked at her.
The game tied until the Snitch was seen, both seekers dived until Harry caught it. All the Gryffindors cheered and she waited to see Draco after the match. He wasn't there in fact his was talking to someone else.
"Potter, can I have a word."
