I'm so sorry this took so long. Please review. If you have any suggestions I would be glad to hear them. As long as you aren't mean about it
When they got home Trent made Oliver owl Chloe and ask if Kelley would be Trent's date for the banquet. She of course replied with a yes. Practice wasn't going to start until after the banquet. So Oliver spent the majority of the week sleeping. (Hey he is a normal guy) When he did feel like doing something he flew on his broom. Trent was visiting his parents in the states.
SATURDAY MORNING "Oliver get up," yelled Mrs. Wood from the bottom of the stairs
Oliver crawled out of bed and went to the top of the stairs
"Yes" he said mid yawn
"Your father and I are going into town today"
Oliver nodded
"And Trent is coming back around 2"
"What time is it now"
"It is almost noon. Oh and Caitlyn (Trent's mum) is sending out a little surprise for you"
"What kind of surprises?"
"If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise now would it"
"Come on I would tell you" Oliver said with puppy dog eyes
Mrs. Wood shook her head "You father and I should be back around 3. I do believe Nobby got you some more lucky charms"
Oliver gave his mom a kiss on the cheek as she left with Mr. Wood. He went to the kitchen and ate his lucky charms. He didn't feel like getting dressed but he knew he couldn't go back to sleep. He ran around the lake a few times. Then he decided to jump in the lake. He took off his shirt, gave a mighty Tarzan yell and did a cannonball in the lake.
"Oliver what are you doing" asked Trent
"Cooling off"
Trent stupidly walked over to the side of the lake and said "Come inside my mum sent you a surprise"
Oliver took this opportunity and pulled Trent into the lake. Trent came up sputtering water. "What was that for" he demanded
"Just thought you might like to join me"
Oliver got out of the lake and ran to the house followed closely by Trent. Trent tackled Oliver.
"Just thought you would like to get better acquainted with the ground."
Oliver got up and pushed Trent down
"Look do you have a surprise or what"
Trent led Oliver to the kitchen he leaned over and picked up a basket. Oliver went over and took off the cover. Inside he found two black kittens. They looked exactly the same except one had a white line under each eye.
"That's Benji" Trent said pointing to the cat with the white lines. He picked up the other one "this is Joel"
Oliver picked up Benji and started petting him. "Why did your mom give me cats"?
"She gave us cats. She felt bad because of what happened to Fritz"
(Fritz was Oliver's old cat. He got him his first day of Hogwarts. He was a gray cat. After Gryffindor won the quidditch cup a bunch of Slytherins stole him from Oliver. Marcus Flint is thought to have been behind the whole thing.)
"Wow that is really cool"
"Yeah I just never want to see you cry again"
"I didn't cry"
"Sure you didn't"
Oliver and Trent played with the twins (that's what they called the cats) until Mr. and Mrs. Wood came home.
"Oliver, Trent we're home," yelled Mr. Wood
Oliver and Trent and the twins greeted them at the front door. Mrs. Wood picked up Benji "Oh Sean isn't he the cutest" she cried
Mr. Wood picked up Joel "I don't know, I think he is the cutest"
"Did you thank Caitlyn?" asked Mrs. Wood
"Not yet" said Oliver
Oliver tried to take Benji from her
"Well now is as good of time as any"
Oliver went to the kitchen. He pulled out a piece of parchment, and wrote a thank you note He went back to the living room and found everyone playing with the twins. Oliver sat on the floor next to Mr. Wood. Nobby came and brought everyone cookies. They sat around and heard about Trent's latest trip. At about 6:00 Nobby came in and gave Mr. Wood an owl.
"You two better get ready" said Mrs. Wood
"Oh yeah I told Chloe to meet us here at 6:45"
Oliver and Trent ran up stairs. The showered and dressed in record time. Oliver came down at 6:30 with wet hair.
"Oliver fix your hair," said Mrs. Wood
Oliver waved his wand. His hair dried and. He sat down and started playing with Joel. Trent came down a few minutes later. He sat down next to Oliver and started petting Benji. Mrs. Wood went and got Mr. Wood.
"Don't they look so cute" she said
"Who they boys or the cats"
Mrs. Wood ignored him.
"But you are missing something" she said to Oliver and Trent"
She waved her wand and Blue streaks appeared in Oliver's hair. She waved her wand again and read streaks appeared in Trent's hair.
"Perfect" she said
Just then the doorbell rang. Nibby ran and answered the door. "Hello Misses" he said
"Hi Nibby how are you" asked Chloe
"Very fine miss and you"
"Brilliant. Thank you for asking"
Nibby led Chloe and Kelley into the living room. Oliver turned around and saw Chloe
Chloe was wearing a strapless baby blue gown. The blue matched her eyes. It was formfitting on the top and very flowy at the bottom. Her hair was pulled up in a bun with soft curls forming her face and neck. She had light make-up on. She looked simple yet elegant.
"WOW" he said
Chloe just smiled
Trent didn't say anything he just looked at Kelley
Kelley was wearing a spaghetti strap dress made of white and lavender scarves. It went just below her knees. She had on white high heels. Her hair was half up. It had loose curls in it.
"You girls look wonderful"
"Thank You Mrs. Wood"
Trent seemed to snap out of it.
"Kelley this is my aunt Cindy and uncle Sean. This is Kelley"
"It's lovely to meet you dear. Trent has been in a complete uproar over you lately"
Trent blushed
"It's nice to meet you. Chloe was telling my how nice you are"
"Oh well Chloe is such a sweetheart herself"
Chloe had gone and sat down next to Oliver.
"Who is this?" she asked
"This is Joel and that is Benji"
"They are so cute"
Nobby came in with two-dozen roses
"Sir's theses were just delivered"
Oliver took one dozen and gave it to Chloe
"They are so beautiful," she said
"No as beautiful as you" he replied
Chloe leaned over and gave him a peck on the cheek.
Trent gave the rest to Kelley
"Thank you" she said as she gave him a peck on the cheek.
"You better get going," said Mr. Wood
"Not until I get a picture," said Mrs. Wood
They all got together and Mrs. Wood snapped a picture.
"Bye mum bye dad" said Oliver as he gave his mom a peck on the cheek
"That better not be the only kiss you give out tonight," Chloe whispered to Oliver
Oliver helped Chloe with her cloak. (It was navy velvet). Trent helped Kelley with her dark purple cloak. They all waved good-bye to Mr. and Mrs. Wood and apperated into the forest behind the castle. They walked along the sidewalk and to the front door. They were greeted by a houself wearing a black tuxedo. He took their cloaks and another houself led them to a large hall. They had to sign the guest book. Ms. Banks then greeted them
"Oliver, Chloe I am so glad to see you. And together" she said as she winked at Chloe "This must be our trainer"
"Nice to see you again" said Trent
"I don't believe I know you," she said to Kelley
"This is Kelley Seavs. She is my best friend," said Chloe
"Oh I see. Well I have to go mingle. I will see you later"
"That's the woman I was telling you about" Chloe whispered to Kelley
"Shall we mingle?" asked Oliver
They walked around and found Charlie Pickens with Emily Fryye.
"Do we have to say hello" asked Chloe
"I don't want to get yelled at by Banks," said Oliver
"Hi Emily" Chloe said Brightly "I love your dress"
"Thanks" said Emily (she was in a plain green dress) "Yours is um. interesting" (She wanted Oliver to ask her to the ball)
"Hello Pickens" said Oliver
"Wood"
"Well we better go," said Chloe
They walked away and Emily and Charlie stopped Kelley and Trent.
"Will you give this to Chloe for me?" Charlie asked Kelley
"I guess," she said
"Give this to Oliver" said Emily as she handed Trent a piece of parchment
"Right"
They went to find Chloe and Oliver. Kelley gave Chloe the parchment. She didn't want to read it in front of Oliver. Trent Gave Oliver the parchment and he placed it in his pocket. They decided to walk some more. They found Nick White standing with a pretty blonde girl.
"Hi Nick" said Chloe brightly
"hi Chloe how are you"
"Great. How are you"?
"Brilliant. This is Fleur Delacour," he said gesturing to the blonde girl "She was a Triwizard tournament champion last year"
"Congratulations"
"Sank you"
"Her English isn't the best," He whispered to Oliver
"Her only flaw I guess"
"Oh yeah"
"We are going to walk around a little more," said Chloe
"See ya then" said Nick
Chloe went back to the table to sit down. Oliver and Trent and Kelley went to get some butterbeers. Chloe decided to read the parchment.
Chloe, You know you should have gone to the ball with me. Oliver isn't man enough for you. C.P.
"What a creep" she said.
"Hello beautiful" Chloe heard behind her. She turned around and found herself face to face with Christian Samson.
"Ahhh" she yelled. She took a breath, "Oh it's you"
Hello beautiful" he said again
"May I help you?" she asked
"I just thought you would like to see me"
"Why"
"Because you missed me"
"What"
"Come on you know you did"
"You're right" she said sarcastically "I want you, I need you oh baby baby" she said as she rolled her eyes.
"That wasn't so hard now was it"?
"Why are you here, you got cut remember"
" I was invited by Marry and Emily. Emily's second toe is so much longer than her big toe. It is absolutely disgusting, Any way I had to come with Marry"
"You pig"
Ignoring Chloe's remark he continued "I actually was waiting for you to ask me, But I felt sorry for Marry. Poor girl kept following me around. I can't blame her of course, I am irresistible"
Chloe couldn't take any more of this. She spotted Marry and seized the opportunity.
"Marry over here," she said
"Hi Chloe," said Marry "Christian I thought I lost you"
"Yes, I uh" he mumbled as he ran his hand through his hair
"He came over to ask If I had seen you," said Chloe
"Yeah that's it," said Christian
Chloe ignored him "You two make such a cute couple"
"We do, don't we?" said Marry as she put her arm around Christian "Well guess we'll see you around"
"Bye" said Chloe
Oliver returned shortly after
"What is Pretty boy doing here?" he asked referring to Christian
"Oh poor Marry invited him"
"Why poor Marry?"
"He came with her because Emily's toe is too long"
"Huh" he said utterly confused
"I'll explain later"
Oliver sat down and handed her a butterbeer.
"Thank you" she said
"No problem"
Just then Trent and Kelley came back
"Where were you two?" asked Oliver "Snogging in the broom closet"
"No you twit," said Trent "Banks was Talking to me about my job"
"Sure" said Oliver
"Guess who I saw" said Trent trying the change the subject
"Who" asked Oliver "Flint?"
"Yep. Guess who he is with"
"I give up," said Oliver
"Pig"
"Parkinson?"
He nodded
"Who is pig?" asked Chloe
"Patty Parkinson"
"And you call her pig. That's not nice at all"
Kelley piped in for Oliver and Trent's defense "I saw her Chloe. That describes her too well"
"Turn around and see for yourself" said Trent "she is right behind you"
Chloe turned around and saw Marcus in a lime green suit with his hair was slicked back. Standing next to him in a pink dress was a short and stout girl. She had dirty blonde hair and the face that did in fact resemble a pig. She turned back around
"Oh my"
"Told you," said Kelley
"I hope those two never mate," said Trent "Could you imagine a troll mating a pig"
Chloe tried not to laugh at the idea "That would be horrible"
"Uh oh" said Trent "Troll coming this way"
Flint brought Patty over to meet Chloe (and make her jealous).
"Chloe" he said "this is my date, the lovely and beautiful, Patty Parkinson"
"Nice to meet you" said Chloe
Patty just looked at her "I guess"
Marcus looked at Trent "What the hell are you doing here"
"I'm the trainer buddy boy. Looks like you will be shedding a few pounds this season"
"Great Tweatly Dee and dumb all over again"
Patty was just staring at Chloe. Chloe couldn't take it any more. "May I help you?" she asked
"You look anorexic" she said, "Do you ever eat"
With out thinking Chloe snapped "Yes but I only eat enough for one, unlike you who, appear to eat enough for a small town"
Everyone at the table started laughing. Even Flint snorted.
Patty glared at Oliver "What are you laughing at Wood"
"You" he said
"At least I didn't cry when my cat went missing"
Oliver stopped laughing at once
"That's because you sat on your cat"
This made everyone laugh even harder. Patty turned and stormed from the table. Marcus turned to Oliver "You better watch your mouth Wood" then he turned to Chloe "Until next time my dear" and he fallowed after Patty
"I cant believe I said that," said Chloe "That was really fowl"
"She deserved it Chloe, "said Oliver "It was worse what she said to you"
"I guess I just wish I hadn't lost my temper"
Banks stood up and announced Dinner is served"
Oliver and Trent practically gorged themselves with food. "Best dinner since Hogwarts" said Trent. Oliver nodded in agreement Once everyone was finished eating, the tables cleared. Banks once again stood up. She went up to a mini stage and cleared her throat. She waited for complete silence.
"First of all I would like to thank everyone for coming out tonight. I will be announcing our new reserve team. Now When I call you name, please come forward and I will present you with your robe. Please wait up here so the daily Prophet may get our first team picture."
She waited a few moments for the daily Prophet to get set up.
"Our first chaser is Nick white" Everyone started clapping. Nick stood up from his chair and walked over to Banks. She handed him an Emerald green robe with WHITE embroidered on the back in gold lettering.
"Our next chaser is Marry Pierce." Everyone clapped for her as she went up and received her robe
"Next is Marcus Flint," Flint went to stand up when Patty grabbed him and started to snog him. Everyone just looked disgusted. He went up and received his robe.
"Yes. Well our first Beater is Charlie Pickens" he got up and received his robe
"And for the first time. The reserve team has a girl beater. Please help me present Chloe O'Brien "Chloe blushed a bit when she received her robe. She stood with a smile as she waited for the applause to die down.
"Our Keeper this year is Oliver Wood," everyone cheered for Oliver as her stood up to get his robe. He then walked over and stood next to Chloe as she placed her hand gently in his.
"Our seeker this year is Emily Fryye" everyone clapped as she got her robe.
"Our trainer this year is Trent Wood and our manager is Gwyneth Gertrude" Trent and Gwen went and stood next to the team.
"Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you the Irish national reserve team," everyone cheered. The team put on their robes and turned to the photographer who snapped their picture.
Chloe followed Oliver back to the table. As they were getting settled the lights dimmed. Somewhere came a voice "ladies and Gentlemen please help me welcome the weird sister"
Everyone started cheering. The Sisters started playing an up beat number. Oliver stood up
"May I have this dance"
"Of course" replied Chloe
They walked to the dance floor as it started filling with people. They were dancing when a slow number came on. Oliver held Chloe close as they swayed to the beat. Flint was trying to dance with Pig at the same time he tried to get close to Chloe. Patty kept stepping on Flint's feet. Banks walked over and asked them if they were having difficulties. Trent made a point to point this out to Oliver and Chloe. They all started laughing. Flint shot them all dirty looks. They all stopped. Oliver held Chloe even more closely. He bent down and kissed her. They danced for another hour then went and sat down.
"Thank you to everyone who came out to support us. I hope you all had as much fun as I did. To the team don't forget practice starts Monday."
She walked o the door to Thank everyone for coming. A houself brought over their cloaks. Oliver helped Chloe with her cloak. They said goodnight to banks and apperated to Chloe's house.
