I have exams coming up soon, so this will be the last chappie for a little while but that doesn't mean you stop reviewing.
Pursuance Bugger.
It seemed like everything was over for Laura already, she was so sure that Oliver had liked her but what a fool. Sara pointed out that they had only been there a couple of days and that there were plenty more fish in the sea. That however didn't stop Oliver from trying to pled his case, Laura pretended that he wasn't even there, spending most of her time with Percy. One night after practice Laura was still up reading by the fire when the team entered the common room. Alicia, Angelina and Katie walked over sitting across from Laura.
"You have to talk to him." Alicia said and Laura looked up from her work.
"Talk to who?" Laura asked.
"Oliver." Angelina replied.
"No." Laura said.
"What do you mean no?" Alicia asked. Katie shifted in her seat, Laura assumed Katie didn't like her.
"He's a nightmare." Angelina complained.
"We are all on the verge of failing and your the only one that can stop this." Alicia finished, Laura sighed closing her book.
"We haven't spoken for ages, what makes you think he'll listen to me?" Laura asked, glancing at Oliver who was sitting in corner hunched over a mini Quidditch board, they could hear his mutterings from where they sat.
"Please try, for us your friends." Alicia pleaded.
"Fine but if nothing happens don't blame me." Laura replied getting up walking over to Oliver
"Ollie I'm here on behalf of your team, they would like it if you stopped being so hard on them, they're failing classes, not to mention hardly sleeping. You can't treat your team like that." Laura said.
"Well it's not my fault they can't keep up, we have a game coming up." Oliver replied not looking up from his board.
"You can't expect to win if your team are tired." Laura argued as Oliver looked up at her.
"Are you telling me how to run my team?" He asked.
"I'm mealy suggested a plan." Laura replied turning to leave.
"Your good at walking away aren't you." Oliver said.
"Just like you are with using people." Laura replied walking up the stairs, Oliver stood up.
"I didn't use you." He said fully aware his team mates were watching.
"Then what do you call what happened between us? You only kissed me because Percy liked me and you can't handle the fact that he has everything you want." She replied facing him.
"The only thing I want of his is you. I like you a lot Laura and I mean it." Oliver said. Laura shook her head not believing a word he said.
"Bullshit, that's what your full of." Laura replied turning to see Sara.
"Laws listen to me. Oliver really likes you and I know you feel the same way deep inside." "But.." Laura started but Sara held up her hand.
"No buts, what are you scared of?" Sara asked, Laura felt tears welling up in her eyes. She quickly blinked them away looking over her shoulder at Oliver then back to Sara.
"I don't have feelings for him." Then she pushed past Sara heading up to her room.
That weekend Sara entered Laura's room to see her tying her hair in a pony tail.
"I have no idea what's going through that head of yours at the moment." Sara said as Laura pulled a jacket on.
"I don't understand what you mean." Laura replied facing her.
"Bullshit, why are you playing with Oliver?" Sara asked.
"I'm not playing, now if you would excuse me I have a Quidditch game to attend." Laura replied heading for the door.
"If you leave I'll tell Dumbledore the truth." Sara threaten and Laura looked over her shoulder.
"Go ahead, I don't care." She walked out closing the door as Sara picked up a pillow throwing it at the door. Near the end of the Quidditch game which Gryffindor were winning Oliver was knocked out by a bludger. As Madam Pomfrey took him up to the castle Laura tagged along. "Can you help him?" Laura asked as they entered the hospital wing.
"Of course I can but he'll have to stay over night." She replied laying Oliver on one of the beds. Laura stood next to his bed then took his hand holding it as Madam Pomfrey opened his mouth pouring a clear liquid into it. A few minutes later Oliver's eye's slowly opened.
"Hello dear your in the hospital wing, knocked out by a bludger but your okay now. Your friend has been by your side the whole time." Madam Pomfrey said and walked off. Oliver turned to see Laura standing there still holding his hand.
"Your the last person I thought I would see." Oliver said.
"Couldn't just let you stay in by yourself. It's a pretty dull room." Laura replied with a small smile.
"I guess but I thought you weren't talking to me.'' He said, and Laura looked at the ground.
"Yeah, I'm sorry for acting so childish. I should of let you explain rather than shut you out." Oliver slowly sat up griping her hand tightly.
"I really do like Laura, and I'm sorry for not telling you about Percy." Oliver replied kissing her hand softly then looked at her, his chocolate brown eyes drilling into hers.
"Your making this too hard." She whispered.
"No it's simple, we can be together now, Percy will understand." Oliver said, but Laura shook her head pulling her hand out of his grip.
"I'm leaving tomorrow morning." She announced, Oliver's eyes widened.
"What? Why?" Oliver asked.
"I don't belong here, I've asked Dumbledore to transfer me to another magical school." Laura replied feeling tears come to her eyes.
"But you can't leave. If it's me...." Oliver started trailing off, Laura took a deep breath. "It's more than that, I have to go." She made her way towards the door when Oliver called to her, she turned round.
"Laura please don't leave, I love you." Oliver said, Laura blew him a kiss then ran out.
That night Laura packed all her stuff in her trunk writing a letter to her friends. She changed into boxes and singlet top then got into bed, she was about to turn out the light when there was a knock on the door. Laura got up opening the door to see Oliver.
"Ollie what are you doing here?" Laura asked.
"Madam Pomfrey let me out early." Oliver replied finding it hard to look at her face when she was wearing little clothing.
"That doesn't explain why your here." She said still in shock because she thought she wouldn't have to see Oliver again before she left.
"I couldn't let you leave without saying goodbye." He replied walking in closing the door behind him.
"I thought we had already done that." Laura said.
"That wasn't a real goodbye." As he lent in to kiss her she moved back.
"Don't do this Ollie saying goodbye once is hard enough." Laura said backing away from him.
"Then don't leave whatever the reason, we'll work through it." He replied as he reached out taking her hands into his.
"But there is no we, it wouldn't work." As she tried to pull away but Oliver wasn't letting go without a fight.
"Why? Explain it to me, so I can understand what your going through." Oliver replied.
"I can't explain it to you. I mean your a pure blood and I'm a Muggle." She said.
"I couldn't less about your blood. That's not who you are, that's not what I'm in love with." Oliver replied pulling her closer towards him.
"But I'm more Muggle than you know." She whispered, Oliver cupped her face in his hands giving her a warm smile.
"I love you and nothing is going to stand in our way." Laura tried to pulled away but he kissed her, she tried to struggle but being kissed by him seemed to paralyse her whole body. Oliver pulled back rubbing his thumb affectionately across her cheek.
"Your a pursuance bugger you know that." Laura said and Oliver chuckled.
"Does that mean your not leaving?" He asked hopefully.
"We'll see." Oliver kissed her again then left, Laura sighed sitting on her bed. She didn't want to hurt him but staying here she would and she couldn't do that.
A/N aww young love, they may of fallen fast but that's why they call it a whirlwind romance.
