Yay people are reviewing. This is Great thank you all!!!! This makes me soooooooooooooooooo happy. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH

The next morning Oliver showed up at Quidditch practice looking like raw hamburger meat. His face covered in black bruises and his eye was swollen shut. His team gasped when they saw him. "Wood what happened to you?" Alicia asked him.

"It's nothing... don't worry about me when we have Slythering to beat in less than two weeks." His team nodded and Oliver relased the balls but as soon as he mounted his broom he passed out cold. This wasn't the first or even second time they'd seen Oliver pass out. In fact it was almost normal from him to work himself into oblivion, but this was the first time they'd seen him pass out without even working. Harry Potter ran in to the school to get Madam Pomfrey, while the twins got Katie to find Ariadne. She got there just as Oliver came to. He shook his head and stared at the spinning faces above him.

"Ariadne do you know what happened to Wood?" The twins asked her.

"Oliver got into a fight last night." She told them, "He was furious with Flint for trying to sabotage the Quiddtich match last night. So after you were all done celebrating he found Marcus and punched him. But before Oliver could get another hit in, the other Slythrin teammates came in and held him down while Marcus punched him. He was in really bad shape last night but I didn't think he was this bad." Harry had arrived with Madam Pomfrey and she gasped.

"Mr. Wood," she said flabbergasted, "what on earth happened to your face"?

"Madam Pomfrey," Ariadne said quietly, "it's more his chest were really worried about." She lifted up Oliver's shirt Madam Pomfrey let out a huge sigh.

"Um it's from this mornings Quidditch practice, I hit him with the bludger really hard." George told her. The rest of the team nodded in agreement. Oliver didn't say anything but when Madam Pomfrey even lightly touched the bruises he gritted his teeth in pain.

"Oh my," she said. "Mr. Wood I'm surprised you can even breathe. These bruises go right to your bones, and you've got a broken ribs here. Madam Pomfrey mudded the whole way to the hospital, with Oliver in tow, about how if she were running the school Quidditch would be out. It was far too dangerous for such young children. "I'll bring out some ointment for to help them heal and a potion for the pain. You just lay down here; you really need to be more careful when you play. This is the second time you've had severe injuries this school year." Ariadne and Fred helped Oliver lay down. He quietly thanked his team for helping and they left and Ariadne was alone with Oliver. She took his hand and rubbed it caringly.

"You really hate it when I'm right don't you?" she asked him. He nodded and managed a smile. Madam Pomfrey told Oliver he'd have to stay for at least the night and possible all of tomorrow as well. Oliver called Angelina back in and gave her explicit instructions on how to run practice. Ariadne stayed with him until she had to go to class. She went through her usual classes and then spent the rest of the evening visiting with Oliver. When she returned back to the Hufflepuff common room Cedric was working on his astronomy charts while Jenny and Dominic were snuggling in corner. Ariadne went down and sat next Cedric.

"Hey Ari what's up? Where have you been, we missed you at dinner." He asked.

"I was in the hospital, with Oliver." "What happened, do you want to talk about it?"

"It's not really anything he got into a fight and got banged up pretty good. But he'll be fine, he's always been a fighter and I've stopped worrying because he always comes back better than new. So anyway what's new with you?"

"Well you remember that Ravenclaw girl, Cho Chang"? Ariadne nodded. "Well I asked her out today."

"Oh really! What happened?"

"Were going out on Friday." Ariadne hugged him.

"That's awesome, after you make your moves, no woman can resist your charm. Hmm maybe I can hook Zia up with someone now, she's going to be the only single one left."

"I don't know Zia's a great girl and all but after having gone out with her... Well from a guy's perspective she's very high maintenance. I love her to death but she wants the whole package, flowers and expensive chocolates. She's got this whole romance thing planed out to the max." He shuttered. "I think she's a much better friend than a girl friend."

"Maybe I can see if one of Oliver's friends would be interested. Also Bradley Wilkins has had his eye on her, you can tell."

"Yeah but he's not her type. Anyway why do want to hook her up?"

"I just think it would be fun for all four of us, you, me, Jenny, and Zia to all hang out with our dates."

"I guess"

"Oh Cedric, come on where's your sense of fun."

"I lost it studying for my OWLs I'm taking them in two weeks."

"Oh come on, we're going to have some fun, you my dear friend need to lighten up." Ariadne pulled Cedric in to the hall. She took his hand and ran out in to the courtyard. "Lets play tag like we used to when we were younger."

"Alright Ari but only for a little bit I've got so much homework."

"Oh you and your homework, your it first." She ran around and Cedric chased her. He got her and she chased him. They were out of breath and very sweaty but were having a great time. Finally the game ended when Ariadne fell in the mud. Cedric laugh and she thru some mud at him, they finally went in, muddy and sweaty. Cedric went to finish his homework, and Ariadne left to say good night to Oliver. The next day Oliver still wasn't out Ariadne stayed with him until Madam Pomfrey made her leave. She went to her classes then hung out with Mackenzie and Cedric. They help Cedric figure out where Cedric was going to go his date with Cho Chang. They finally settled for a walk around the lake. She wrote to her family, like she did every week and telling them about school and Oliver. She could never hide any secret from her parents and even if she could she wouldn't want to. Oliver was very upset about not being able to leave the hospital. They were playing Slytherin a week from Saturday, and he had missed another practice, but Madam Pomfrey always fusses over them like this.

Friday came and Cedric went on his date with Cho, with help from Ariadne he got her a bouquet of flowers with purple lilacs, apple blossoms, bluebells, and buttercups. Each flower had a specific meaning, the purple lilacs meant first love, and the apple blossoms meant beauty and goodness, the bluebells meant faithfulness, and the buttercups meant radiance. His date went well from what Ariadne heard before he went to bed. Cho happened to also know the meaning of the flowers and was quite happy with the message Cedric conveyed to her. This made Ariadne remember the flower that Oliver sent her when they first met. He first sent her the heather, which symbolized first love and happiness. Then the sunflowers, which means ostentation, basically saying that I think you're a knock out. Then finally the buttercups that showed her that he thought she was radiant, and the snowdrops that meant "I cannot forget you". It was those unspoken word Oliver told Ariadne that made her fall in love with him almost instantly. Now she was so happy for Cedric, her best friend, that he had found passion in another.

Oliver was out of the hospital and back on the Quidditch pitch. Ariadne has never seen his team work so hard in her life. Gryffindor was 200 points behind Slythering so even if they won the game they could still loose the Quidditch Cup. The worked hard all week and Ariadne only saw Oliver at dinner. Friday night he was too busy with his team to hang out with her for there rendezvous in the locker rooms. But before he went to bed that night Oliver brought Ariadne a single red rose to show that he hadn't forgotten about her. The game started the next day and Ariadne went to sit with Mackenzie, Jenny, and Dominic. Cedric had gone to sit with Cho and the other Ravenclaws. Ariadne blew Oliver a kiss for good luck and the game stated. Slytherin played a brutal game and took penalties left and right. The Gryffindors were up most of the game. Ariadne didn't know who it was, but one of the Slytherins grabbed one of the Gryffindor chaser's heads. They go a penalty shot for it. But then Fred or George hit on the Slytherins with is beater's club. The Slytherins took a penalty shot but Oliver made a spectacular save. Harry pretty much stayed out of the way for the game waiting for Gryffindor to get up 50 points. When they did he started looking for the snitch. Slytherin was still playing rough and the Gryffindor team was getting really frustrated. One of the Slytherin's beaters blasted two bludgers at Oliver; they both hit him one after another. Ariadne gasped and looked concerned, but Oliver was all right. Winded but all right. The Katie took the penalty shot, but she was so flustered she missed. The game went on brutally and Harry went after the snitch. Malfoy the Slytherin's seeker wasn't far behind. Finally it came down to the end and Gryffindor was up and Oliver wasn't letting Slytherin get a goal into the hoops. Harry caught the snitch and GRYFFINDOR WON THE QUIDDITCH CUP. Oliver was so happy he was crying. The whole team was beside themselves with happiness, Oliver being the captain, received the trophy first from Professor Dumbledore. He flew around with it and blew a kiss to Ariadne, who was trying to get on the field to kiss him. He passed the trophy on to Harry who took it around and ran to Ariadne. He gave her a big kiss and hugged her.

"Congratulations Oliver you worked so hard for this. I'm so happy for you" She told him. He ginned

"This is the happiest day of my life, and I'm even happier I get to share it with you." He replied in return. He picked her up and kissed her more. Out of the corner of Ariadne's eye she could see Marcus scowling. It made her even happier Oliver's team won. When the rest of the team was done flying with the trophy Dumbledore magically inscribed everyone's name on it, and on the top if said Captain Oliver Wood. Ariadne let him go to party with his housemates. They didn't want a non-Gryffindor partying with them. The next day Oliver's happiness had carried over. He spent most of that warm sunny Sunday in the courtyard sitting out with Ariadne.

"Oliver," she said, "What's going to happen after you leave?"

"My sweet Belle," he replied, "don't worry I'm never letting go of you. Well keep in touch and spend lots of time together over the summer."

"I know but it's going to be hard."

"No one said it was going to be easy, we can get through this. You only have one more year here after this one." He reached in to his pocket and pulled out a small box. "I was going to give this to you in two weeks at the Graduation Ball but I think now is the best time." He opened the box and a beautiful moonstone ring was in side. It was white gold and the gold made little swirls around the stone.

"Oh Oliver it's beautiful. What's it for?" "I bought it a couple weeks ago at Hogsmead. It's a promise ring. It basically means that I love you and that I promise to wait for you if you wait for me. With this ring I'm giving my heart to you and you alone." Ariadne was speechless; she took the ring and put on and she kissed him more passionately then she had ever kissed him before. Oliver looked into her eye and the gold in them was flickering, her eyes are smiling almost as big as she was.
