Chapter two
Seeker shock
Back at Hogwarts
I sat in the common room with my best girlfriends Jesse Diggory and Nicky Parker and Oliver. I had met them all on the train in my first year when they saved me from Flint, a Slytherin, who was being all greasy and annoying by refusing to leave me alone. Surprise surprise, he still haunts me. We were all chatting about our summer and catching up, everyone stuffed from the feast. Oliver's from Glasgow and has three older brothers, he has chocolate brown hair with a nice set of eyes to match, he's very chocolatey! Nicky is from London and is an only child, she is coloured and has gorgeous black hair. Jesse is from Cardiff, she has brown hair and hazel eyes. They are both really pretty and I really got on well with them, we create such fun! Everyone drifted off greeting other Gryffindors as I sat beside the fire. After a while Charlie came over and joined me. Charlie is very popular among all the girls for his good looks and among the guys for his skill on the quidditch pitch. We got on pretty well and a lot of girls seemed to be jealous when I was with him, which I reckon is daft, he would never look at someone like me that way! We just playfully flirted but everyone else seemed to think we were serious!
"Hello beautiful, would you like to accompany me to the quidditch pitch get some early practice in, not that you need it but it's a good excuse to spend time with you!"
"You charmer! I'll grab my Nimbus 99, anyone else coming?"
"No, just us two." He said smiling.
I grabbed my broom and we headed out to the quidditch pitch. He went in goals while I shot at him, then he started doing impressions of Percy in goals, which had my laughing so hard I nearly fell off. I like Percy but the boy can not balance himself on a broomstick! Then it got a bit weird, I asked him if I would let the snitch out so he could practice but he said no, that I was his snitch! Now correct me if I'm wrong here but does that mean what I think it does, plus he's acting extra flirty and doesn't seem to be joking! So I answered with an elegant...
"Huh?"
He flew up beside me and put an arm around my waist. I raised a questioning eyebrow at him.
"Oh come on you know I fancy you. I took you out here to find out if you felt the same way, but I understand if you don't. I really don't expect you to, you are way out of my league!" He looked disappointed. Once again I find myself gobsmacked. Like who what just happened. He noticed my shocked expression then.
"Merlin you really didn't know, did you?"
"Me out of Your league? What?"
"Well ya, every guy in the school fancies you, your gorgeous, funny, nice and great at quidditch, why wouldn't they?" he said that as if it was common knowledge, he's acting crazy. Hmm I suppose he's cute. What am I thinking? No I am thinking right I'd be mad to pass up a chance like that! He's gorgeous and nice, why not? Before I knew it he had leaned forward and kissed me slowly, unsurely on the lips, then I found myself returning the slow kiss. Wow me and Charlie Weasley are kissing in the air, me and Charlie! We slowly seperated, causing me to shiver. He took off his jacket and put it around my shoulders, then he took my hand and we flew silently to the ground. That is when I burst out laughing!
"What are you laughing at?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha tee hee hee! Don't you think this is funny, this is the last thing I expected when I took up your invition to come out here!"
"Oh dear I think your gone delerious! I want you to go straight to bed!"
"tee hee hee! I am tired you know!" The two of us laughed and joked the whole way to the common room. When we entered it seemed empty, Charlie walked me to the foot of my stairs and kissed me goodnight, I gave him his jacket and went upstairs where Jesse and Nicky were fast asleep. I changed into my pyjamas and collapsed into bed. Crazy day!
Charlies POV
Wow that girl is amazing, I love the sound of her laughter. Can't believe she's actually my girlfriend. Hmm must make that official, note to self: ask her to be my girlfriend! I snapped out of my trance when I heard a book slam somewhere behind me. I turned around and saw Wood in the corner eyeing me angrily. I finally removed myself from the bottom of the stairs and walked over to him, plonking myself into the seat opposite him.
"Beautiful night tonight isn't it Wood" I asked in a daze, reliving the last hour of my life.
"Wouldn't bloody know, I was sitting here waiting for Cara to come in because it's past curfew!" Oliver replied angrily.
"Oh sorry about that we were playing quidditch"
"Sure you were" Oliver said sarcastically.
"Hey wait a minute you completely fancy her don't you?"
"No" Oliver replied a bit too quickly. "Were just friends." With that he went off to bed. Hmm better leave it be, after all I don't want to loose her now that I've finally plucked up the courage to tell her how I feel! Maybe he is just protective. Merlin I'm wrecked better get some sleep.
Oliver's POV
I ran up to my dorm in a rage. How could she? I should have known she wouldn't be single forever, but to see her with someone else, and Charlie Weasly of all people I don't stand a chance. Better try to get over her, like that will work, Merlin I sound pathetic.
