I awoke feeling warm and clean. No more of that stickiness. It was sort of kinky. (Just kidding… like an eleven year old would think of that.) I was in a stiff bed. And I guessed I was in the Hospital Wing. I could feel Oliver's hands gripped on mine. His warm presence made it all seem better. I couldn't see anything. (Well at least not right away). It took a few minutes for me to fully come to.
Ryan and Marcus were freaked. Sprout and McGonagall had just come in and were glad I was up. The two women's faces said thousands of words. Dumbledore came in out of nowhere and the two professors left.
"I know that yourself and Mr. Wood have been getting fairly friendly the last few weeks..." Our cheeks were Gryffindor red. "And that is fine and all, but what happened today?"
'Sir, um... I was a little surprised by everything so while Oliver took a shower I ran to see Ryan and Marcus. I knew they would be at the pitch so I ran down as soon as I could. I was almost there when red sparks' hit me. I was so drained as I said this. Oliver gave me a quick peck and I smiled.
"Oh… the joys of puppy love. Anyway. Did either of you Mr. Davies or Mr. Flint see any of this?" Dumbledore asked.
"I saw Cedric running over to us with a huge grin. I knew Wood had done something foolishly romantic" Flint replied in a lighthearted manner.
"I saw red sparks, but no one else was there. We ran back with Cedric right after he fell" replied Ryan.
"I am glad that the four of you are able to exhibit house unity. You four have overcome much, and will continue to do so. For this I award each of you one hundred points as Christmas Present" he smiled as he said this.
"And if any of you are caught snogging in the halls, the same punishments apply. But there is somewhere where your thoughts will keep you out of trouble" he replied in his trademark manner, with that twinkle in his eye.
After he left we all said, "Room of Requirement." I still haven't been in it, but have heard enough about it from the other three. Marcus and Ryan wished us a Happy Christmas as it was getting close to midnight.
"Don't go too wild on him Wood!" Flint joked.
"You wouldn't want him to run away and pass out again, would you?" Davies chimed in.
I would have killed them if I were in that bed. And when they left it was just the two of us. Until…
