Cold Concrete.
The new year entered with a bang, Laura spent her time training her team and new chaser Molly. She also sat at Bailey's bedside talking about anything she could think of, Bailey woke the day of the first Quidditch match of the new year, all the other teams had played at least one game, all the Hogwarts teams winning, Laura's team was the only remaining Beauxbatons team.
"Okay girls, just play like you do in practices we can win this, let's go." Laura said leading them out onto the pitch, the crowd cheered. The girls made a circle then got onto their brooms rising into the air.
"This is for Bailey." Laura said the girls nodded before flying into their positions. Laura was right across from Marcus she looked him straight in the eye as the quaffle entered the air, Molly the replacement for Bailey grabbed the quarrel racing towards the posts, missing the two bludgers that were sent her way.
"And the CW's score, Flint takes the quaffle but is hit by a bludger Ratahi takes the quaffle and scores." Lee Jordan yelled jumping up from his seat. Even though Slytherin tried some foul play Charlotte's Web was still leading.
Not long later Jesse caught the snitch breaking her arm at the same time, Laura and the other girls landed getting cheers from the crowd while the Slytherin team stormed off but Marcus gave her a small nod as he left. Laura smiled as Oliver ran over picking her up spinning her round.
"You were great." He said kissing her.
"Thanks." Laura replied.
"If you keep playing like that we might come up against each other in the final." Oliver said.
"Indeed." Laura replied heading into the lockers to change.
"I can't believe we won, I though they were suppose to be rough." Casey said as she came out of showers wrapping a towel round herself.
"I know I was quite surprised." Laura replied hoping into the shower. Laura let the hot water wash over her soothing all the parts of her body that were aching. By the time she got out all the girls had left but Oliver was sitting on the bench.
"Ollie, what are you doing here?" Laura asked walking over, he looked up a smile appearing on his face.
"We're having a party in the common room for you guys." Oliver replied as Laura grabbed her clothes from her locker.
"That's great but I'm not in the mood." Laura said.
"Well why don't we have our own party." Oliver suggested wrapping his arms round her waist kissing her neck.
"Not tonight Ollie, I just want to be alone, I'm quite tired from the game." Laura replied.
"Oh okay well I'll see you later then." Oliver said Laura nodded knowing he was disappointed. Laura got dressed then walked up to the broom shed putting her broom in. She locked the door then turned round coming face to face with Percy.
"Perc, shit you gave me a fright." Laura said.
"Sorry, I saw Oliver leave and thought this would be the best time to see you." He replied.
"You see me everyday Perc." Laura said making her way back into the changing rooms, Percy followed closing the door behind him. Laura hadn't noticed for she was packing her stuff up.
"Laura I need to know how you feel." Percy said, Laura turned round.
"This isn't the best time to talk about this." Trying to get past him but he blocked her way.
"I think now is the perfect time. You can't keep avoiding me or lying to Oliver." Laura glared at him.
"How dare you, I avoided you because I chose Oliver. I love you." Laura yelled then realised what she said, she covered her mouth taking a step back from Percy. Percy looked at Laura too shocked to say anything so instead he gabbed her arms pulling her close and kissed her, Laura wrapped her arms around his neck feeling Percy's arms go under her shirt lifting it up. The cool breeze gave her goose bumps, even more so once her shirt fell to the ground. Percy laid her on the cold ground kissing her roughly, Laura ran her hands over his bare shoulders. He pulled up pointing his wand to the door, they heard it lock then kissed each other again.
The days pasted and more games were held, Gryffindor winning against Raven claw and Charlotte's Web winning against Hufflepuff this meant Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff would play for the wooden spoon while Gryffindor and Charlotte's Web would play for the cup. Laura and Percy hadn't spoken since that night, they couldn't even look each other in the eye. Laura found it even harder to look at Oliver. Laura entered her room one day after practice to see Oliver sitting on her bed.
"Oliver!" Laura said surprised, she placed her training gear on her bed.
"Hey." Oliver replied standing up.
"What are you doing here?" Laura asked.
"I was wondering if we could talk." Oliver replied putting his hands in his pockets.
"Sure thing." Laura said as they sat on the window seat.
"I don't really understand what's been happening lately, but I know we haven't been talking and I'm just wondering did I do something wrong?" Oliver asked Laura took his face in her hands giving him a warm smile.
"You've done nothing wrong Ollie, you've done nothing but love me which is more than what I've done." Laura replied. Oliver frowned.
"What do you mean?" Laura sighed shaking her head.
"Nothing, nothing at all. Let's go downstairs." Laura suggested giving him a quick kiss before leading him out.
A week later the Quidditch final came, Laura and Oliver were sitting at the Gryffindor table side by side not saying a word. Percy sat across from them, he cleared his throat causing them both to look up from their plates.
"Maybe you guys should head down to the pitch." He suggested Laura nodded, both getting up leading their teams down to the pitch and into the separate changing rooms. Laura paced in front of girls who were sitting on the benches.
"I don't know what to say, you've done me well. This is the big one it doesn't matter if we win or lose, we've done our best and that's all that matters." Laura said the changing room door opened, they all looked to see Bailey standing there broom in hand.
"Bailey, what are you doing here?" Laura asked rushing over giving her a hug.
"I couldn't let you play the final without your best chaser." She replied with a smile.
"Molly you don't mind do you?" Laura asked and she shook her head. Laura lead them out onto the pitch.
"Welcome Quidditch fans to the big final Beauxbatons versus Hogwarts, the two captains Oliver Wood and Laura Ratahi who also happen to being a couple shake hands rising into the air as the quaffle is thrown up, Caitlin Otto grabs it racing towards the posts goes to throw fakes passing to Laura who scores." Lee yelled.
A couple of hours later the teams were neck and neck, Oliver called a time out, he landed by his team.
"Harry you need to get the snitch or else we'll playing into the night." Oliver said and Harry nodded.
Gryffindor scored another goal then Jesse saw the snitch racing after it, Harry was just in front of her but Jesse had a faster broom so she got ahead everyone stopped in midair to watch, Jesse grabbed the snitch, Laura screamed racing down to the grass hugging Jesse as the rest of the team landed all seven crying, laughing and jumping for joy. Dumbledore handed them the cup which they held it high in the air. After changing the girls headed up to the castle with the cup but Laura stayed behind waiting outside the changing rooms for Oliver, first to come out was Harry.
"Good game Harry." Laura said and he smiled. Next to come was the girls, the twins behind them.
"Hey guys, good game." Laura said.
"Hey well done." Alicia replied as the twins stormed past not saying anything.
"Don't worry about them you know what they're like." Angelina said and Laura nodded.
"How is he?" Laura asked as Katie pushed past her smirking.
"Taking it better than we thought, he's just sitting there." Alicia replied.
"Should I go and talk to him?" Laura asked.
"Yeah, go and talk to him." She replied pushing her into the changing rooms. Laura walked in to see Oliver sitting down his back facing her.
"Hey Ollie." Laura said sitting next to him and he didn't answer.
"You played really well today, you should be proud." Laura added.
"I don't play as well as you though." He snapped, Laura stood in front of him seeing he had something in his hands.
"It's only a game." She replied, he looked up at her his eyes full of anger, sadness even hate.
"A game, is that what I was, just a game?" He asked standing up walking towards her until she was right against the wall.
"I don't understand." She whispered, Oliver took a step back throwing some photographs at her. Laura caught them then gasped as she saw who was in them.
"So how long have you and Percy been sleeping together." Oliver asked, Laura's lip trembled. She had never seen Oliver so mad before, it scared her to death but then again it was her fault that he was so angry.
"Only once." She whispered. Oliver grabbed his broom, the one Laura had given him throwing it across the room. Laura jumped as it smashed into the wall landing on the ground with a clatter.
"ONLY ONCE AND YOU THINK THAT'S OKAY!" He roared raising his hand, Laura closed her eyes cringing. Oliver saw her face, slowly lowering his hand, he couldn't hit her, that would make him just like Flint.
"Open your eyes, I'm not going to hurt you." Oliver said softly, she opened her eyes feeling her tears fall down her cheeks.
"I can't believe you would do this to me. I thought you love me."
"I do love you but I made a mistake, a very bad one. I won't ask you to forgive me because I know you can't." Laura replied, Oliver looked at her before he pulled his handkerchief handing it to Laura. She took it blowing her nose.
"I only have one question, how do you feel about Percy?" Oliver asked sitting down on the bench.
"I love him, but I love you too." She replied, Oliver shook his head.
"I think you should leave. I can't stand to be in the same room as you any longer." He said, Laura bit her lip running out all the way up to the castle.
