" Students....please settle down. I have an important announcement towards the 7th years liking." Dumbledore rose from his seat, trying to quiet the Great Hall. It was the day after what happened between Oliver and I and we hadn't spoken to each other all day. I couldn't keep the memory out of my brain. Dumbledore tapped a glass and tried once more to get our attention. I looked up eagerly to hear.

" I have planned a Back to School dance for the 7th years this weekend. It is the last weekend before the Quidditch season starts. Please wear the appropriate clothing, and I will expect the best behavior. Mr.Eric from Slytherin will be performing at the dance. Thank you for giving me your attention and enjoy the rest of your meal." Dumbledore sat down meekly as he finished and turned to talk to Professor McGonagall.

The talking got louder and louder around me as all the 7th years talked about the dance and all the younger years complained how it wasn't fair the dance was only for the 7th years. I felt like heading in early.Maybe, I could go to the library and work on my prefect speech. I got up and walked towards the door. Nobody noticed I left, it felt good being alone for once.

I opened the library doors and walked in the only quiet place in Hogwarts. I went into the Hogwart's History and Rules section and picked out a book. How to Become a Hogwart's Prefect. Wow, that title wasn't original. I went in the deepest corner and sat down on one of the old plush vintage chairs as I opened the book and took out a piece of parchment and a quill.

Chapter 7: Remembering the process

I opened to chapter 3 and started taking notes. After taking notes on chapters 3, 5, 6, and 7, I took out a clean sheet of parchment and dipped my quill in ink as I got my hand ready to start writing my speech. Becoming a prefect has always been a goal of mine since my first day at Hogwarts. I got my first sentence and was about to write my second when I heard a giggle come from behind one of the bookcases. I got up being the curious person I was and went to see who it was. I turned the corner and saw Chloe and a boy really close against a shelf of books. I couldn't quite make out who the boy was, but only if she would move....yup...ok a little to the left...that's it. Oh my Merlin! It's Draco Malfoy! I gasped and stood there in shock. Chloe must've heard me cause she was the first one to turn around sharply and blush like mad.

" Jess!" Chloe whispered loudly.

" Hey Chloe" I said in reply. I so wanted to embarrass her right now. Hey, maybe I would.

" Well, I see your going for the enemy just like me. Hope you have fun with that!" I tryed to keep my laughter down. We didn't need one of the librarians rushing over to see two students on top of each other.

" Haha, very funny Jess...umm you know Draco, right?" She turned to him and he gave us a very smug look. I had heard of him alright. He was that stuck up seeker for Slytherin. He had this thing against Harry Potter, but since they were a year younger than me, I never really looked that much into it. He wasn't that bad looking. If Chloe liked him, I guess I could like him too.

I nodded at her question and questioned her. " So what happened to Ron?" I smiled as I thought of them sitting in the common room last night and then her here snogging another boy. She rolled her eyes and replied.

" He liked Hermoine the whole time. He asked me if I could hook them up right after I made out with him."

" So, now your with this cutie?" He smiled even more smugly as I made the complement. Geez, somebody was conceded.

She nodded and gave me a pleading look. I smiled warmly and shooed my arm, as if to say for them to continue. I walked back over to the chair and sat down. I looked up at the coffee table where my work was. Or at least where it used to be. It wasn't there instead, it was replaced with a small note. I picked up the note and read it to myself.

Jess-

You've done enough book work. Meet me outside in the pitch. I'll be waiting for you.

- Ollie

I smiled down at the note in front of me. Wait! Why was I smiling!?...I needed to get that speech done. Grr, guys just don't understand. O well...might as well see what he wants. I deserve some fun anyway.


I reached the pitch and it was pitch dark, no pun intended. I could barely see anything as I walked around. I suddenly felt a hand reach my back and guide me toward and seat me on something that looked like a broom. Assuming it was a broom, I swung my leg over.

" Oliver, what are you doing?" I still couldn't see anything.

" Shhh, just close your eyes and hold on" And with that I felt my weight being lifted off of the ground. I gasped and felt like I was going to fall.

" Hold on to me" I heard him talk once more. I obeyed him and wrapped my arms around his waist. I started feeling the cold wind take my hair and my arms started getting goosebumps. I leaned into him and rested my head on his shoulder. He was so warm. We flyed for another 20 minutes before I felt my legs touch the ground again. I didn't release my arms from his waist.

I heard him talk again. Seemed like he was doing all the talking tonight.

" Jess, you can let go now. We're not flying anymore"

" Oh, yeh. Sorry, I didn't notice" I pulled my arms away from his body.

I heard him laugh and get off of the broom . He held his hand out for me to take. I grabbed it and got off the broom myself. The broom fell to the ground with a thump and our attention turned to each other. I squinted my eyes in hope that I could see through the darkness. I heard him laugh again. I grunted in frustration.I finally gave up and took out my wand and said a spell.

" Luminus" I said above a whisper. A few sparks and finally light alluminated from my wand. I could see again! But wait, where'd he go? I looked around confusedly as I saw Oliver running away into the locker room hallway with the slyest smile.

" Hey, get back here!" I called after him as I made my way over to the hallway.

" Your going to have to catch me!" He called back. Hmm...this could turn out good. Maybe I would catch him, fall on the ground on top of him, make out with him, tell him I lov....NO! I didn't love Wood. Hell, we weren't even together. Yeh, I definitely didn't love him. And this time, I wasn't just in denial.I shook my head to get away from my thoughts as I ran.

I ran, not knowing where I was headed and collided head on with a person.

" Oww" I expressed aloud. My head hurt so much...this person was way to short to be Wood. I took my wand out of my back pocket. The spell was still working it's magic. I looked down at Eric. Wonder what he wanted. Why was he in the Gryffindor hallway anyway?!

" Eric, what are you doing here?"

He looked up and smirked.

" Just the person I was looking for. Hello Jessica" He stood up leaving me still in shock on the floor. He brushed himself off and outreached his hand to help me up. I ignored his hand and got myself up.

" What do you want?" I didn't have time for this.

" Well, as you know I am playing for the dance this weekend. So I was just wondering if you wanted to reconsider and officially become my girlfriend. You'll be really popular" I really think this kid was delousional. I shook my head no and started to make my way past him for the second time this year. I suddenly felt a hand take a tight grip around my arm and pull me back. I fell back and looked up to see Eric's angry face hovering above me. He grabbed my shirt collar and pull my so I met close to his face. I yelped in fear.

" Listen, I gave you two chances and you threw them away. I want you and if your not going to let me have you, then I guess I'm just going to have to help myself." He picked my body off the floor and started moving his hands up into my shirt. I used my arms to try and pry him off of me, but surprisingly he was strong for a little guy. It was just no use as he kept kissing my neck and used his hands to explore. I started crying as I screamed for him to stop. I closed my eyes just as I felt Eric's body being ripped off of mine. I opened them to see Oliver beating the crap out of Eric. When Eric finally said he'd had enough, Wood got off of him and told him to get lost.I was sitting against the wall. My knees were touching my chest as I was rolled up into a little ball on the floor.My eyes were shut again. I couldn't stop crying. I was picked up and I leaned into Oliver's chest as he carried me somewhere. He smelled like the night breeze and the rainforest right after a hard rainfall. I felt myself being placed on a couch and Oliver use his hands to stroke my head as he whispered " Your okay, I'm here now" in my ear. I relaxed and opened my eyes. He was looking at me with the most worried eyes. I sat up and hugged him tightly. I didn't want to let go.

We sat there for a few minutes. Me in his arms, never wanting to let go of this safe feeling. He rubbed my back and rested his head on mine. I broke our little moment and looked him straight in the eyes. " Thank you" I whispered. He just stared and softly kissed me. He seperated as our lips were still touching and replied with a " Your welcome" His hot warm breath on my lips made me quiver.We fell back into the hug.

" You should get to bed " He whispered in my ear. I nodded against his shoulder and looked up at him one more time.

" Could I sleep in your bed tonight? This really shook my up and I don't feel like being alone" I didn't want him to think I wanted more than him just being there for me. I really was scared. He smiled warmly and told me to wait there while he went to check if it was okay. I sat there in the common room quietly as he disappeared up the stairs. I looked down at the table in front of me and saw my books and notes from the library. I stared at them as I heard Oliver call my name. My head shot up and I looked at him in question. He nodded and walked into his room. I got up off the couch and walked slowly up the stairs as I peeked around the corner and into the doorway of his room. He stood there smiling and waited for me to enter. As soon as I entered he pulled the quilt back on his bed and got in. He patted the area next to him as I got in. I leaned back into his chest and rested my head on his shoulder. His arms wrapped around me. We talked in a whisper as I closed my eyes.

" Good night Jess " He whipered at me.

" Good night Oliver" I whispered back.

We sat in silence for a few seconds before I spoke again.

" Hey, you know I never did catch you" I said sleeply.

" Jess , what are you talking about? I've been caught by you for six years" He stated. He squeezed me tighter and I fell asleep to the sound of his breathing.



So that's it people! hope you liked it and remember to Review!! -JeSs
