Hey everybody!! This is my third chapter. I made it longer after a request. I know not a lot is going on in the story right now , but just wait. I have some pretty good things coming up. And if all of you are wondering. Draco does appear in this story. I hope you like it and I'll try my hardest to write the next chapter. Enjoy!
Oliver me went side by side towards the Great Hall. We were one corridor away from reaching our destination when I pulled Oliver around the corner and stepped in front of him as I peered around the corner, making sure not to be seen.
"Wha..!?" Oliver almost screamed. My hand stifled the sound of his voice.
"Shhhh....listen!" I said and glared at him as I turned back toward what was catching my attention. Geez, I mean doesn't he know I wasn't saying something for a reason!?
"Mr. Eric , I am planning to have a back to school dance for the 7th years. There is word going around that you have a band?" I looked at Oliver wonderingly as we both heard Dumbledore address the new Syltherin.
See, now what Oliver didn't know was that I had seen this new boy yesterday at Platform 9 & 3/4. Almost every girl was fauning over him. So, as hard as it is to admit this to myself, I became one of those girls. I don't know what it was, but he was just so good-looking and irresistible. The total opposite of me. As I was getting to know Eric, my cat Butterfly jumped out of my arms and totally attacked him. I had to practically pull and unravel her claws from the sweater he was wearing. I ended up walking away totally embarrassed.
This sudden event in the corridor was my attempt not to be any more embarrassed than I already was. Oliver still looked at me like :
1) What are we doing here?
2) Why did you attack me?
3) Can I go eat.....plllllease!!
The pleading look on Oliver's face made me cave inside. God damn!....why did I have to be so weak??
I eased my body off of him and let him step away from the wall. His brown hair was mussed a little in the front , I took my hand and messed it more. I nonchalantly walked away, the corridor was empty.
"Now, may I ask what in the bloody hell was that?!" he said his voice rising a little. O great , he was hungry and annoyed. Maybe I should just get this boy some food.
The Great Hall was filled with scravinous students. We had gotten there a little late because of the incident in the corridor. The tables were already set up with tons of varieties of different food. We looked for our friends and Oliver pointed to where Fred and George Weasley were sitting. They were talking it up with two Hufflepuff girls at the table next to them. The girls laughed girlishly at each joke one of the twins made. I rolled my eyes. How can girls be like that?? Don't they ever feel like their heads are full of air? I hope they do 'cause it certainly looks like they are.
" Oliver!! Mate when did you get here!?" Fred Weasley sat upright at the site of me and Oliver walking over. Him and George stood up as they came over and greeted Oliver.
" Had a little incident at home. I wasn't going to let it stop me from coming to graduate with my best friends. Did you guys pulla prankyet?" Oliver said. He had that sly genuine expression caught up in his gorgeous eyes. Being me, who talks to him allll the time, I couldn't help to notice and tell him how great his eyes are.
I kind of zoned out the rest of the conversation between Oliver and the twins. I had skipped out on lunch and it was catching up with me. I saw Chloe over by Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Chloe and I were a year older than them but, we still liked them either way.
As I approached the opposite side of the table to sit next to Chloe, I noticed a strange glint in her eyes. She was talking to Ron and she had that wide grin on her face. Once and a while she would giggle and touch his arm with an occasional " haha...Ron you are so funny" .
This COULDN'T be happening!...I'm starting to wonder....no there's no way. It looks like Chloe likes Ron! No , I'm not wondering anymore...I know! O man , I'm definitely going to have to talk to her about this later!Since I'm done eating....I think I'm going to sit next to Oliver.
Oliver was alone. While, I was sitting with Chloe and watching her little sideshow go on. ( I think I saw Harry gag once) I noticed the twins get up and leave with the two Hufflepuff girls following right behind like two little puppy dogs. Ugh...I'm not ever going to bring myself down to the level when I'm actually seen following a guy around, especially when he's not even paying any attention to me.I hope that's not what it looks like when I walk around with Oliver. If it does, everybody can kiss my ass...if anything Oliver follows me around. Annnnyway...yeh I think I should seriously stop talking to myself in my head.I just noticed that I've been standing in front of Oliver for some time now and not saying a word. God, I can only imagine what remark he's going to make. Let's find out...
" Thinking about me , Jess?" I heard Oliver say when I finally snapped back to reality. He once again had that famous sly smile playing across his lips.
" Actually yes." I smiled and sat down next to him.
" Hmm, is that a good or bad thing?" he asked. A bigger smile then before slowly crept onto his face . I knew he was fishing to make fun of me. He always manages to do it. I never see it coming.
" Depends , only I will know the answer to that one" I said as I turned my head and raised it in the air as if in victory. I want to see if he can strike back in this little flirt fest we were having.
Oliver and I were rumored to be a couple because of these little scenes of flirting. To us they were nothing but talking playfully , I can only imagine what they looked like from the outside.
" I'm going to stop this right now " he looked around. There was only four of five people left in the Great Hall. " I could tickle you out of it" He grabbed my sides and started moving his hands rapidly around.
I couldn't stop laughing. I was laughing so hard my begging words didn't make their way out of my mouth.
" o..haha..o..ha..ok...haha...stop...ha...please..haha" I forced the words out. He slid his hands off my my side. That was fun...but I'll never admit it to him. I only let him tickle me...everyone else stayed away. Chloe was the only other person who could even try without me punching her in the face. I think she decided to stop though, after last time when I accidently kneed her in the stomach from spazing out.
"Anyway" I sighed.
" Did you start the speech yet?" Oliver said, his tone of voice suddenly becoming serious.
I turned to meet his eyes. He was looking straight at me. I felt nervous all of a sudden. Why do you feel nervous by his stare? He looks at you every day.
Our gaze was never ending. It was almost as if it was a competition. If it was I was determined to win. Oliver always won everything, I wanted something for once, even if it was just the right for me to say I beat him in a staring contest.
" Jess" Oliver said. This time his tone was more husky and calm.
Oliver started leaning in. His face was getting closer and closer by the second. Wow, did he know he had this really big freckle under his right eye??
My stomach started swirling. I had never felt it this bad before. Why was I feeling it now?
I just stared right into his eyes. I was going to win. I could taste the win right now.
"Ahem" we heard a voice behind us say. Oliver quickly backed away from me and we broke eye contact.
" Hello Professor..." I listened as Wood addressed the person behind us. I didn't dare look back.
Alright that's the 3rd Chapter!...I hope you liked it!A few interesting things will be happening in the 4th. I'll keep them coming if you on read and review and then pass on my story!! lol well...that's it for now..Thankies!!
