Okay so here it is . . . day two! I hope you all like it! And as always, I don't . . . well, you know.

The Next Day

Hi! Sorry I'm late. I was trying to convince Oliver to come with but he wouldn't. He's being stubborn. Hmm? Oh, practice went great today. This is a World Cup year so we're hoping to make it you know? Oh, yeah sure . . . I'll have a ginger ale and . . . ooh yeah that sounds good! I'll take that too!

sits back comfortably

I'm really sorry if I was bitchy yesterday. Before I came in, Oliver and I had had an argument about me actually doing this. Well, no actually, he isn't too keen about it. But I told him that if he wants people to be okay with this, then this is a good way for that to happen. No, he feels the same way I felt when you first presented this to me. That everyone is going to blame him. Blame me. Blow everything out of proportion.

shrugs

I guess neither one of us is too keen about an interview like this. What? Oh, no, I'll keep doing it. The truth must be told.

chuckles

Wow, that was so melodramatic. So where were we? Huh? No, not really. I mean, well, we have the usual couples' arguments but it's usually not that bad. But yesterday it was pretty bad. Well . . . arguments usually sometimes end in sex. If he starts it I usually get a little present the next day. If it was my fault then he gets a huge, several-course, home-cooked meal. He and I can't stay mad at each other long.

shakes head

Nah, he's too sweet to do that. He mostly indulges me. Yeah, I agree. It is nice.

rolls eyes

Sorry but that's private. How would you feel if someone came up to you and asked about your sex life? Yeah, well I don't discuss it either.

looks around the café

No just looking around. The last time I went somewhere where no one would usually go, someone was there. Who? Oh, Fred and Angelina. Well, off and on. It's been like that since we were in school.

nods

They do but they also argue a lot when they aren't dating. It's cute. Hmm? Yeah, mostly we keep telling them that they just need to get it over with and get married. Well you'd think that wouldn't you? They have dated before, but not recently. Alicia's dating a guy from the Wimbourne Wasps and George is dating this Muggle girl from Ottery St. Catchpole.

chuckles

Yeah, he's dating a Muggle. Well he met her . . . mm . . . I think I was in seventh year, so about . . . five? years ago. But it wasn't serious until recently. Probably not. He hasn't told her and gets jittery when any of us are around. According to him, she's not ready to know about magic.

shrugs

Who actually understands the twins' reasoning anyway? It always frustrates Oliver but makes him laugh.

smiles

He'd never kick them off. They're the one thing that keeps his spirits up when everything else brings him down.

the food arrives

Ooh, this looks good.

takes a bite

Mm! Delicious! This is almost as good as Oliver's mom's. Oh yeah, she cooks. How else would her family get fed? Well, they do own house-elves but Mrs. Wood loves to cook, so mainly the elves just clean.

shakes head

We had one, but when he died, we didn't bother to replace him. Not really. I mean they are helpful and everything, but . . . asking one to come work for you, and then you don't pay it or anything . . . well . . . Huh? No, I don't subscribe to Hermione Granger's monthly "save the elves" newsletter. Well, mainly because she didn't grow up in a Wizarding family and especially in a Wizarding family that owned a house-elf. She doesn't know how helpful they can actually be. You don't realize how much you depended on a house-elf until they're gone. Even when they didn't do much. Do I plan on getting one? Well, when we get married, we'll actually inherit one. Well, from his parents. Their house is huge so they have like three or four. And one from that family will come live with us. It's nice I guess.

pauses for a while to eat

What? What's wrong with drinking ginger ale? No, no, no! NO . . . no I'm not pregnant. How could you think that? Yeah, well, just because I'm drinking ginger ale doesn't mean that I'm pregnant. If I were I wouldn't have drunk that wine yesterday. And anyway, my parents would have already killed me if I were pregnant before I had even gotten married. They are absolutely against it.

looks thoughtful

No . . . if anything . . . I would have been cut off and disowned by my parents. Oliver too. I mean, his parents want grandkids but not yet.

frowns

You'd actually have to ask Mr. and Mrs. Wood about that. From what Oliver's told me and this is . . . off the record . . . his parents didn't really like her. They thought she was . . . oh, what's the word? . . . hmm . . . Muggles use it all the time . . . a . . . oh! a gold-digger! They apparently thought and probably still think that the only reason she even started dating him was because he was rich to begin with.

looks around to make sure no one's listening

Huh? Yeah, I would've married the poorest guy around if I loved him as much as I love Oliver. Money doesn't matter. It's the person inside that counts. Not how much money he has in his pocket. Hmm? Yep, still off the record.

stares off into the café thoughtfully

What? I'm sorry, I kind of spaced out for a second. Oh, yeah sure. We can go back on the record.

laughs softly

It's funny you should ask that because I ran into him yesterday. And I mean I literally ran into him. I wasn't watching where I was going and ran into him as I turned the corner to head towards our apartment. Apparently he lives a couple of blocks away from us. But yeah, I actually almost did date Marcus Flint.

quickly looks at watch as it beeps

Damn! I'm so sorry . . . I have to leave. I really hate having to leave you again in the middle of our interview but Angie, Ally, Ginny and I made plans to go shopping and I totally forgot until just now. Sure! We can pick it up again tomorrow. Though I have to warn you, it will probably be interrupted again tomorrow too. You don't have to turn this in anytime soon do you? Oh good. Yeah, I think we'll have made it through our story by then. Yeah, sure. I can tell you about Marcus tomorrow. I might even make it through Roger Davies as well.

giggles

Yeah, there's a story with him too.

stands ups and shakes hands

So, same time, same place? Or do we want to try this great little Italian place down the street?

nods

Obviously it's a Muggle place, but the owner is actually a Squib. He'll give us a good deal. And the chicken Parmesan is to die for. Okay, great. I'll meet you there. And hopefully I'll be on time. Bye!

Ta-da! That's the end of that chapter! I confused myself and then hit a road block otherwise there would have been more to it. Please, please, please review. I'll love you all if you review ;)
