~Chapter 3~
"Bloody hell! How could I forget about the dance? The only thing I've been worrying about these past days!" Oliver asked himself as he looked around at the busy-bodies running all around.
Just then Alicia Spinnet walked into the room. "Hey Oliver, ..why are you still in bed? It's 3 o'clock. Man, you're lucky we don't have classes today because of the dance." Alicia said. Oliver shook his head to the remark and jumped out of bed and walked to his trunk. "Would you believe it if I told you that I totally forgot about the dance today?" Oliver said not facing her.
……*Alicia busts out with crazy laughing* "WHAT?! Oh my gosh Wood! *more laughing*…how could you forget that?!" Alicia blurted out as Oliver's esteem got lower. "I don't know, I just forgot, it's not that big a deal, jeez Alicia. Another topic of conversation would be good right about now." Oliver said to Alicia as he unpacked his dress robes for the dance.
"Ok, ok. Sorry, didn't mean to hurt your karma," Alicia said, "Man,…I must be paying attention to Trelawney too much….eesh…haha." Oliver couldn't help but think that Alicia was right, how could he have forgotten? The dance was one of the most important things of the year. Of course he wasn't going to miss it, …it just…slipped his mind.
"Well, Alicia, I have to change into my dress robes, so uh, I'll talk to you later, ok?" Oliver said as he showed her the dress robes in his arms. "Uh..ya sure, go ahead, I gotta go get ready too. We only have 4 hours left till the dance, I hope you have a date ready, haha. " Alicia said as she walked out of the room. Oliver only had 4 hours left to find a date. He had to find one, there were a lot of students at Hogwarts so he had to work fast.
Just as he finished puttting on his dress robes Katie walked in the room. "Hi, Oliver, I see you're ready for the dance." Katie said with a happy tone voice. Oliver turned around from facing his bed and looked upon Katie as if she was an angel sent down from heaven with the most beautiful dress he had ever seen and how beautiful it looked on her. "Uh…uh….da….h…h….*gulp*…hi…K...Katie." Oliver said trying to catch his breath. Katie then gave him a strange look. "Uh, Oliver, what's wrong? While are you looking at me so funny?," Katie said as she put her hand in front of his face trying to snap him out of his mysterious trance, "well,…uh…maybe I'll meet you in the Great Hall or something later,..I'll just be going then.."
As she turned to walk out of the room, Oliver quickly snapped out of the trance and grabbed her arm. "Katie, wait. Will you go to the dance with me?" Oliver blurted out quickly.
