So, things are heating up in the love department for Laura aren't they. Poor Oliver or is Poor Percy, or even Poor Laura. Hmmm............................
Bailey's Fight.
Most of that day Laura spent with the girls, she skipped dinner deciding to stay in the common room. Laura was sitting by the fire planning some plays when Percy entered, he saw Laura and walked over. He stood in front of her with his hands in pockets watching her.
"You better sit then." She replied, Percy sat beside her.
"I'm not going to say what I did today was a mistake because I believe it wasn't, I've had feelings for you since I first saw you. You know that and I believe you have feelings for me as well." Laura took a deep breath slowly letting it out.
"Oh Perc I love Oliver, with all my heart. Today was a mistake, you shouldn't of kissed me." Laura replied gently touching his face.
"Why did you kiss me back?" Percy asked, Laura didn't reply. Percy moved closer moving Laura's hand placing it on his shoulder. Her breathing got heavier the closer he got until his lips were almost touching hers. Laura closed her eyes as they kissed, it seemed whenever Percy kissed her it was like she was in another world where nothing else mattered but the two of them. After a few seconds Percy pulled back holding Laura's face in his hands.
"Leave Oliver, let me love you." Percy whispered. Laura shook her head, feeling tears well in her eyes.
"I can't." She replied pulling away running upstairs.
The next day Laura avoided Percy, using her spare time to try and find Oliver who was avoiding her. After lunch she went to Oliver's room knocking on his door.
"He's not there." A voice said and Laura turned to see Tim.
"Where is he then?" Laura asked as Tim walked over.
"He went off with some red head." Tim replied looking Laura up and down staring in certain areas that really shouldn't of been.
"Did she have her tongue pierced?" Laura asked.
"Yup, pretty she was too, not as pretty as you though." Tim replied Laura went to leave but Tim grabbed her arm.
"Tim, I need to find Oliver." Laura said.
"Sorry can't let you do that, Bailey needs info and if you stop her you won't win." He replied.
"What kind of a friend are you?" Laura asked as he pinned her against the door.
"Quite a good one, I'll take good care of you while Oliver's busy." Tim replied trying to kiss her but she punched him then kicked him in the shin so that he fell onto his knees then she grabbed his hair.
"Where's Oliver and do not make me ask twice." Laura snapped.
"Seventh floor, across from the charms class." Tim replied Laura let him go racing out of the common room up the stairs to the seventh floor where she saw the charms class, she caught her breath before taking out her wand. kicked the door open to see Bailey holding Oliver's belt and Oliver on the other side of the classroom trying to hold his pants up.
"God damn it, I warned you Bailey." Laura said putting her wand down.
"Come on cap we want to win and you said his team is the best." Bailey replied not taking her eyes off Oliver.
"I also said stay away from him." Laura said shaking her head as she walked over taking the belt from Bailey.
"Do you want to win or not?" Bailey asked.
"Of course but if you ever touch Oliver again I'll do worse than kick you off the team." Laura replied Bailey nodded storming out of the room.
"I think this belongs to you." Laura said handing Oliver his belt.
"Thanks I can't believe you found me." As he put his belt on doing it up.
"Well I had some help." Laura said hoping Tim was in a lot of pain.
"She did a spell on me, then when I came round she was undoing my pants asking me about Quidditch." Oliver replied running his hand through his hair.
"It's okay I believe you, Bailey just wants to win, like everyone else." Laura said.
"Yeah but thanks to her we got a lot of useful information about the Slytherin team." Laura added as they walked out the room heading down the stairs back to the common room.
"Really how about sharing some of that?" Oliver asked and Laura shook her head. Oliver gave her a puppy dog look as the portrait door opened letting them into the common room.
"Don't look at me like that Ollie." She said trying to look away as she made her way up the stairs.
"Well share your information then."
"No way, if you want it information get it yourself." Laura replied when Oliver grabbed her round the waist.
"I might just do that." Oliver said pulling her into his room. Laura looked at Oliver's clock and smiled.
"Ollie you missed practice." Laura said looking beside her to see a note where Oliver had been, she picked it up reading it to herself then shook her head as she got out of bed.
As Christmas drew nearer Laura was still worrying about Percy and Oliver. She loved Oliver with all her heart but she also had feelings for Percy who was even more than a best friend. She wanted to be honest with Oliver but how could she, it was bad enough he didn't know her secret but keeping the fact that she thought she might love Percy would tear him apart not to mention herself. On Christmas Eve Laura was looking at her Quidditch timetable when Holly came over.
"Evening." She said sitting next to Laura.
"Hey." Laura replied.
"What's that?" Holly asked.
"The timetable for our games." Laura replied.
"When's our first game?" Holly asked.
"Not till after Christmas against Slytherin." Laura replied with a sigh as the Gryffindor team walked in. Alicia and Angelina all collapsed on the sofa across from Laura and Holly while Katie went straight up to her room.
"Hard practice?" Laura asked.
"I can't feel a thing, I'm that cold." Alicia replied.
"I'm not going to be dry until next September." Angelina moaned.
"And there's practice tomorrow." Alicia said causing Angelina to moan again.
"Ah sorry girls there's no practice tomorrow." Laura replied and they looked at her.
"Why?" Alicia asked.
"Because it's Christmas, even Oliver won't make you practice then." Laura replied Alicia smiled.
"What would we do without you?" She asked slowly getting up, then helped Angelina up and they made their way upstairs.
"Thank god your not him otherwise I'd quit." Holly said and Laura laughed.
"He's not that bad." Holly raised an eyebrow.
"You have to say that, your his girlfriend." Laura looked at the fire, she had to tell him no matter what it would do to him.
The next morning Laura entered Oliver's room after quickly ducking out to get his present to see him still asleep so she walked over to his side kissing him, Oliver opened his eyes and smiled.
"Morning love." He said kissing her again.
"Merry Christmas don't you mean." Laura replied handing him his present.
"You didn't need to get me anything." Oliver said sitting up.
"No but I did." Laura replied as he took off the wrapping his mouth dropping open.
"Love, it's a numbus thousand and one." Oliver said holding it, looking it over. His eyes were sparkling.
"You like it don't you?" Laura asked and he looked at her.
"Of course but how did you afford it they don't come cheap." He said giving her a curious look.
"Never you mind I'm just happy you like it." Laura replied as Oliver kissed her again.
"I love you so much." Laura put on a smile, it was now or never. She opened her mouth to speak when Oliver pulled an envelope from his bedside table and handed it to her.
"What's this?" Laura asked opening the envelope then looked up at Oliver.
"Are these real?" Laura asked he nodded giving her a smile.
"Two tickets to New Zealand, on a airplane. How did you know?" Laura asked hugging him. She couldn't tell him now not after a gift like that. He really loved her, Laura didn't want to break his heart so she pushed all her worries to the back of her mine.
"Just a feeling." Oliver replied placing his broom on the floor and rolled over so that he was on top of her.
"How about another present?" Oliver asked with a cheeky smile.
"How big is it?" Laura asked and they looked down.
"Big enough." Laura said kissing Oliver when someone knocked on the door.
"WHAT?" Oliver yelled as Laura sat up on her elbows Fred's head poked in looking at them.
"Fred this isn't the best time." Oliver said and Fred gave him a 'well duh!' Look which made Laura smile.
"I gathered that but I'm here for Laura, your friends need to see you now." Fred replied Laura sighed.
"God I hope it's important." She said as Oliver got off her. She made her way downstairs to see Fleur crying.
"Fleur what's wrong?" Laura asked.
"It's Bailey." She replied blowing her nose and Laura turned to Holly.
"What's wrong with Bailey?" Laura asked.
"She's in the hospital wing..........." Holly started and Laura ran out of common room down the stairs as fast as she could.
Laura ran into the hospital wing see Bailey in one of the beds, Madam Pomfrey standing beside her.
"What happen?" Laura asked rushing over to her bedside to see that her body was covered in bruises, she had a black eye and fat lip which was cut.
"I don't know your headmistress found her on the Quidditch pitch like this all battered and bruised." Madam Pomfrey replied.
"Is she going to be okay?" Laura asked and Madam Pomfrey looked Bailey over.
"Her bruises will clear with time, their was some sight bruising to her stomach but I was able to use magic to heal that. She won't be able to Quidditch though." She replied and Laura took Bailey's hand.
"Hey Bailey, it's me cap." Laura said with a small smile, Madam Pomfrey walked into her office leaving Laura alone.
"I know we're not the best of friends but I'll find out who did this, you get your rest and I'll be back soon." She added wiping her eyes then slowly left making her way up to the common room. Laura entered the common room to see most people sitting down, Fleur was still crying, Holly and Casey were trying to keep her calm. Percy was standing by the fire with Alicia and Angelina, Oliver walked over to her.
"Is she okay?" He asked putting his arms round her.
"She's pretty battered but she'll be fine." Laura replied then burst into tears.
"Hey it's okay, she's going to be fine you said so yourself." Oliver said rubbing her back, Percy watched feeling jealous, he should be the one comforting Laura not him, but then again he was her boyfriend. He looked into the flames trying to forget his feelings for her but it was going to take more than that. Laura pulled back from Oliver looking at Fleur.
"You shouldn't be sad Fleur, she's going to fine. But the bastard who did won't be." Laura said then her eyes widen, she looked at Oliver who frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"Marcus." She whispered then ran out of the common room, Oliver followed.
They entered the Great Hall, Laura stormed over to the Slytherin table whacking Marcus over the back of the head. He stood up rubbing his head looking really pissed off.
"Flint I want a few words with you." Laura said and Marcus Flint who was the captain of the team looked her up and down.
"I could think of other things to do with you." He replied, Oliver stepped forward raising his fist but Laura stopped him.
"You disgust me, how does it feel to know that you were treated like a sex toy?" Laura asked and Marcus frowned.
"What are you talking about?" He asked.
"Bailey used you to get information from you, that's why she's in the hospital wing isn't it. You found out and didn't like it very much so you punched her didn't you." Laura replied, Marcus looked round at the Slytherin table, all his mates were watching not to mention Dumbledore and Madam Maxime who had just entered the Great Hall.
"Can't we go and talk somewhere else." Marcus said quietly, Laura smirked then slapped him across the face. Oliver grabbed her round the waist pulling her back as Marcus stepped forward.
"Mr. Flint would you do me the honor of seeing me in my office?" Dumbledore asked, Marcus grunted following him out the Great Hall, Maxime gave Laura a small smile before leaving. Oliver let go of Laura who straightened her top.
"I hope he gets what he deserves." Laura said as Oliver took her hand leading her away from the Slytherin table.
"That was sexy." Oliver replied as they walked out of the Great Hall. Laura looked at him surprised.
"What?" He stopped looking around then pulled Laura close kissing her. She pulled back.
"Ollie, what's gotten into you?" She asked as he buried his head in her hair kissing her neck.
"You standing up to Flint, that's was sooo hot." He murmured, Laura laughed pushing him away.
"Come on, I need to check on Bailey." Laura said leading him to the hospital wing.
