This is quite a long chappie hope you don't mind. Don't forget to review at the end!!!!

The Head Exploding Meetings.

Near lunch time Laura walked out of her office down the hall into the editors Alex Dawson's office, he was sitting at his desk reading some papers on his desk, he looked up as Laura entered.

"Afternoon Laura, take a seat." He said, Laura sat down noticing he had cut his blonde hair, it use to be long but now was cut short almost as short as Oliver's. Laura quickly looked away as he got out of his seat walking round closing the door then sat on the edge of his desk in front of Laura folding his arms across his chest.

"I like your writing Laura I really do but I feel that here at the Women's Weekly you're not able to stretch your wings."

"Meaning?" Laura asked feeling slightly confused.

"Your writing is brilliant and I think we've holding you back here so I'm offering you a transfer to Cosmo UK, they're looking for a new writer so I gave them some of your work and they loved you." Alex replied, Laura smiled.

"Really."

"Yes they have even got an apartment in inner London near the entertainment area and ten minutes walk to the office. I think you'd be stupid not to take it." He replied and Laura looked at him.

"I have to move to London?" Laura asked, Alex laughed.

"Of course it's pointless you staying here with that great job over there." Laura blinked a few times.

"Can I give you an answer at the end of the day?" Laura replied, Alex slowly nodded.

"Sure I understand this is a big thing." He said.

"Thanks." Laura replied standing up heading out, Zeke ran over seeing the look on her face.

"What happened?" He asked.

"I just got offered a job at one of the UK's biggest magazines." Laura replied the thought still not sinking in. She walked into office slowly sitting in her chair.

"You took the job didn't you?" Zeke asked Laura looked up at him.

"Call Sara and tell her that I'm going to be late. I'm off to lunch." Then grabbed her bag heading off. Zeke frowned picking up the phone.

Laura got to to the main doors seeing it pouring with rain, she groaned looking out. Just what she didn't need, she felt like her head was going to explode.

"Look like you could use some help." Came a somewhat familiar voice their face covered by the black umbrella they were holding. Laura frowned as the umbrella raised causing her to gasp.

"Julie?" Laura whispered not believing that Oliver's mum was here.

"Hello dear, awful weather you have here." Julie said as they walked along the street heading into a cafe. They sat at a table by the window watching as people ran past trying to avoid the rain.

"What are you doing here Julie?" Laura asked as Julie ordered their drinks.

"I'm here on business, I work with the Department of International Magical Co-operation but I won't bore you with the details." Julie replied.

"But how did you find me?" Laura asked as the waiter came over placing their drinks in front of them.

"When Oliver came home after he finished Hogwarts the look on his face and his body language told me everything. he wouldn't leave his room for days which passed into weeks. And Alicia told me you were coming here. Did you tell him the truth?" She asked, Laura shook her head wrapping her hands round the cup to warm them.

"No, I cheated on him with a good friend of ours." Laura replied quietly. Julie took a sip of her coffee watching Laura.

"I thought you loved Oliver."

"I did, still do but it doesn't matter, I lead a busy life now that takes up every free moment I have." Laura replied.

"Just like Oliver, he plays Quidditch now for Puddlemere Untied, he lives in this dump not far from the pitch. God knows I've tried to make him find a better place he's got the money but he won't move." Julie said shaking her head, a small smile appeared on Laura's face.

"You know how stubborn Oliver is." Laura replied, Julie nodded.

"He won't talk to me about you, but he's still very much in love with you." Laura looked at her herbal tea.

"Like I said before it doesn't matter anymore." Julie grabbed her hands holding them tight.

"Now listen to me, not long after I married John, Oliver's dad, he kissed another woman. I was upset and I left for a while. I was hurt but I still loved him and he loved me, with a lot of talking we were able to work through it and our love has been stronger ever since. If we were able to work it out so can you and Oliver." Laura looked at Julie.

"I just got offered a transfer to London, to work with Cosmo UK. If I take this job I risk bumping into him, I don't know if I could handle that." Laura replied.

"Why don't you owl him, I know he would love to hear from you." Julie said getting up, she gave Laura a warm hug before heading off. Laura sighed thinking what she could say as she finished her tea. Before Laura went home she went back to office telling Alex that she'd take the job in London, he was so happy for her that he kissed her before running off to make the deal final.

Laura returned home early than she thought, Sara was out leaving Laura alone to compose a letter to Oliver. She had no idea on what she would write but finally grabbed a piece of paper sitting at the table putting the pen to paper.

Dear Oliver,

It's been almost three months since Hogwarts and the two of us talked. I was out for lunch when I met your mum she suggested I write you. I agreed because their is a lot we need to discuss so if you could reply as soon as possible that would be great.

From Laura.

Laura sighed reading what she had written ten times before she went over to Basil's cage pulling Basil out giving him the letter.

"Make sure Oliver gets this, and don't leave until he replies." Laura said as Basil flew off out the window.

Oliver entered his apartment throwing his training bag on the floor as he collapsed onto his bed, he looked round his small apartment there was a small kitchen opposite his bed and a small window which let in enough light. A hooting from the window made him groaned after a rough practice the last thing he wanted was a bloody owl hooting. Oliver frowned getting up, opening the window the owl flew in landing on his bed. Oliver took a good look at the owl eyes widening.

"Basil? What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in ages." Oliver said untying the letter giving him some food and water as he opened the letter sitting on his bed. After reading the letter at least a dozen times just to make he wasn't dreaming he sighed. Laura wanted to see him again, there wasn't day that Oliver hadn't thought about her and what she had done, but as he told her on their last day of Hogwarts he would always love her. Oliver turned the letter over grabbing a quill writing a quick reply before sending Basil off again

Laura and Sara were sitting at the table having dinner when Basil flew in dropping the letter in her lap, Sara looked at the letter with eager eyes, as soon as Sara had returned home Laura had told her everything even taking the new job and meeting Julie. Laura gave Basil a pat opening the letter reading it to herself before biting her lip.

"Well what does he say?" Sara asked. Laura cleared her throat.

Dear Laura,

Give me some details and we'll meet.

Oliver.

"Well that gives a new meaning to short and sweet." Sara said with a smile, Laura got up grabbing a pen writing under his message.

How about now? Sara's place.

Then grabbed Basil giving him the message. Sara frowned.

"Now are you sure?" She asked and Laura nodded running down to her bedroom where she quickly opened her wardrobe, sexy or casual. She decided on casual it was not wise to look sexy so she pulled on her jeans, singlet top with a hoodie over top to keep her warm. She put on some mascara and lip gloss as Sara came running in.

"I really think you should rethink this. You and Oliver haven't spoken for a while." Laura undid her hair letting it fall below her shoulders, her red highlights showed up really well in the light.

"Sara, I can't run forever. I'm moving there I need to fix things now rather than when I run into him over there." Laura replied sitting on her bed.

"Well I'm going then, you two need privacy. I'll be back in a few hours." Sara said walking out, Laura stood up following her out.

After receiving Laura's reply Oliver ran round his apartment [which wasn't very hard considering it was so small] trying to find some clean clothes which he found beside his bed. He pulled on his jeans and a green with a black long sleeve top under that, running his hands through his brown hair he quickly added some cologne before sighing. This was the first time he was going to be seeing Laura since the end of Hogwarts, he hadn't thought of what it would be like seeing her again only the past. He pulled on his shoes apparating.

A/N so what did you think? {dramatic music pays in the backround} just wait for the next chappie Oliver and Laura meet for the first time since their break up.{music fades out}
