Love At First Sight

Chapter One: Hello Stranger

The cool, midday breeze whipped my hair as I strolled aimlessly down Diagon Alley. As usual my head was stuck in a book, as I tried to push all other thoughts out of my head. Unfortunately, this meant that I couldn't keep my eyes on the path in front of myself and ended up walking straight into someone. I fell to the floor with a thud as my book lay scattered on the ground next to me. I rubbed my head, where it had hit the floor, and looked up to see who I had bumped into.

My breathe caught in my throat however, when I did see the person. It was a boy, around the age of sixteen, with dark brown hair, and piercing blue eyes. Now, I know what you are all thinking, Hermione Granger isn't like this with boys, but something inside of me snapped and I couldn't help it. It turned out that he had been carrying a bag full of school books, which had split when I bumped into him. Suddenly I realised I was staring, and began to apologise.

"I am so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going" I said, as I caught his eye.

He smiled at me and stood up before offering me a hand up. I took it and once I was fully stood up, began to dust myself off.

"No its ok, I wasn't looking either" he replied.

I smiled before picking up my book. Some of the pages had been torn as I fell, and even if I was a witch, I still didn't know the right spell how to fix it. The boy had noticed as he had pulled out his wand. He pointed it at the spine of the book and muttered a quick spell. The pages began to move and before I knew it, the book was back to normal. I looked up at him, as he was a couple of inches taller than me and smiled.

"Thanks" I said.

"No problem" He replied, and he smiled at me, a smile which I couldn't help but return.

"You need help with your books?" I asked him, pointing to the floor, where they lay.

He laughed and looked at them.

"Only if you want to" He said and bent down.

I followed suit and helped him, it was the least I could do. Once all of the books where back in his back, which was now repaired, I didn't know what to say to him. Luckily, he broke the silence that had eloped us.

"I'm Oliver by the way, Oliver Halden" He said.

He stuck out his hand for me to shake and I took it. He had a strong grip, I had to say.

"I'm Hermione, Hermione Granger, nice to meet you"

"You too. Do want to go and get a butterbeer or something?" he offered.

"Sure, I'd like that"

He smiled once again and so did I, as we made our way over to the Three Broomsticks. He held the door open for me as I walked in, he followed behind and offered to get the drinks. I accepted and found a table. Once he had them, I called him over, and he sat opposite the table from me.

"So Hermione" he said "What school do you go to?" he asked, while taking a sip from his butterbeer.

"Hogwarts, I'll be in my seventh year when I go back, what about you?"

"Same here"

I smiled.

"So, how old are you?" I asked.

"I turned seventeen last week, what about you?"

"Oh, I'm sixteen now, seventeen on September 4th"

He smiled at me and took another sip from his butterbeer. I liked Oliver, he was the only guy I knew, apart from Harry and Ron, who I could talk to easily and get along with. Suddenly I stood up, remembering something. Oliver looked up at me puzzled, before standing himself.

"What's wrong?" he asked, concerned.

"I've just remembered, I have to be home in five minutes, I know its kind of babyish, but my mum doesn't like me staying out late, especially when I'm on my own"

"No, its ok, I should probably get home to, my mum will be wondering where I am"

"Well, thanks for today Oliver, I had a wonderful time"

"Yeah, me too"

We stared at each other for a while, I don't really know how long, before I smiled and said goodbye. I walked out of the Three Broomsticks and made my way home. But, I didn't rush home, in fact I strolled as I thought about today, even if I had only just met him, I was really glad I did, he was really sweet and he went to the same school as me at least, so hopefully I would see him then.

A/N: Well that's the first chapter! Let me know what you all think of it and then I will post the second chapter, ok? Please, please review and no flames! Thanks!

Bye for now
