~*~ Three Rules to Falling in Love ~*~
~ Chapter Three ~
Krystal, Hermione and I walked back to the house as the sun was setting. Hermione decided to stay at our house for the night and check out some more of the books we told her about. When we got in my step mum said hi to Hermione and told us that dinner would be ready in about an hour. Then we went into my room, Krystal and Hermione plopping down into a couple armchairs, and me falling onto my bed.
" So, what's going on with you and Wood, Marina?"
I looked at Hermione upside down from my position on the bed. Then I rolled over onto my stomach and said, " Nothing. I just saw him yesterday and we talked for a while, then he asked if Krystal and I would want to hang out with him today. It's nothing big."
" Ah, but it could be," Krystal said.
" Ah, but it's probably not gonna be. Plus, what about you and Ron? You did talk to him at the Leaky Cauldron, didn't you?"
" Well, no, but I sat by him. But don't try to change the subject. Hermione, have you made any progress with the whole Harry thing?"
" Krystal! You say that I change the subject!" I said. Krystal just glared at me, though.
Hermione laughed and said, " Well, we have been spending a lot of time together during the summer break, but then again it's always Harry, Ron and I. We've never actually done anything just the two of us."
I turn and look at Krystal again. " Well, at least some of us are making an effort!"
" What? I'm trying.But yeah, when is that owl from Wood supposed to get here, anyway?"
I glare at her before returning to my original position on the bed, on my back, and answering. " I'm not sure, the note only said that he would send me an owl tonight," *sigh* , " Why can't boys be more specific?" I yell. Hermione and Krystal exchanged amused looks.
A moment later, we heard a loud slamming noise making all of us jump.
" Bloody Hell." I say, jumping off of the bed and going to the window to open it. I lean out and look around but see nothing, but as I look down I see a small barn owl standing on the shingles of the roof. It ruffled its feathers before lightly stepping onto my out-stretched arm, letting me take him into the room.
" Ah, so I see that this one took flying lessons from Erol?" Hermione said, the barn owl clicking its beak at her.
I took the letter from around its leg and then it flew up onto the top of my bedpost. I sat down on the bed and began opening it as Krystal and Hermione flopped down next to me. They both hovered over my shoulders while I read the note to myself.
' Dear Marina,
It was really fun hanging out with you and your friend today. I was even happier about how we ran into Ron, Harry and Hermione. Lucky me, I got to
spend the day with all of my friends. Any ways, I'm really looking forward to working on your Quidditch skills before school starts. And the stuff that you got at the Quidditch shop will
help a lot. But that's not the only reason that I sent this letter to you. I wanted to know if you would want to meet at the Leaky Cauldron at the end of the week for school shopping. Our lists'll be coming out by then and I'll talk to Harry and Ron about coming along with us too. And you could probably talk to Hermione and Krystal, though I'm pretty sure that they're reading this
already. But I'll be going now. You can write back if you'd like, I'm sure that my
owl, Orin, won't mind. I'll talk to you later then.
Love, Oliver.'
" Love! He put 'love' on there!!!" Krystal shouted, bouncing up and down on the bed.
I look at the note again, my eyes staring at the word 'Love'. Seeing it did have something of an effect on me when I'd read it, but I knew that he only meant it out of friendship.
" So. We write that on all of our notes. He only means it in a friendly way." I say to Krystal.
That night I wrote Wood back saying that we'd all love to do our school shopping with him. Then Hermione, Krystal and I ate some supper and went to sleep.
Later that night, a bit past midnight, I heard a faint tapping at my window. I tiredly sat up and looked through the curtain and saw the same little barn owl as before. I quietly opened my window and Orin hopped onto my bed. I untied the note from his leg and laid down by the window as Orin flew out of it and landed on the nearby light post, it's light casting into my window and giving me enough light to read by. I quickly read:
' Hey, Marina. I'm sorry that I sent this so late but I was just wondering if you'd want to start your quidditch training tomorrow? I would have sent you a message earlier, but I had to get some other stuff done. Write me back if you can.
Have a good night.
Love, Oliver'
Again my heart fluttered slightly at the word 'love'. I mentally kicked myself before scribbling onto a clean piece of parchment that I'd love to start practicing. I had a Nimbus 2001 that I could use and I'd be able to bring along the stuff that I'd gotten earlier in my back back.
That night Oliver and I stayed up late sending his owl back and forth, planning the day of practice that we'd have the next day. And when we finally said good night, I could hardly get to sleep because of my excitement.
Author's Note: HAHAHA!!! Cliff hanger again! Yess I am one hell of a bad little lemming because I keep getting grounded thus I can only work on my three stories at school every Tuesday and Thursday morning. And I horribly sorry about the shortness of it but I figured that I could put both their first practice as well and their leaving for Hogwarts in the next chapter. Oh, and here's some notes:
this story's in Marina's POV Marina and Krystal are in their sixth year along with Oliver. (Harry, Ron, and Hermione are only one year lower then them. Sorry for screwing with it, but that's how it was in my dream) And the pairings, yet again, are Harry/Hermione, Ron/Krystal, and Oliver/Marina.
Thank you and please REVIEW!!!!! I love you forever.or hate you depending on which way you go. ^_^
