Here it is . . . the third chapter. Sorry it took so long, but you know with finals and the holidays and stuff well . . . I hope you like it. And as always if I owned it I wouldn't be here, would I?

At the Italian restaurant

Ha! I beat you here! Huh? No, Ols and I were just down the street.

Nods

Yeah . . . well, I tried to talk him into coming with me, but he's stubborn. It's one of his favorite restaurants. But he won't come with unless . . . well unless the restaurant was going to be absolutely empty. Yeah, I think even the waiters. Maybe just the cook and the maître' d. And maybe just one of the waiters. Oh! There's our waiter!

Beckons to the waiter

Yes, I'll have the chicken Parmesan, with the garlic angel hair and . . . a Caesar salad. Yep. Um, Coke with lemon, extra lemons. Oh, and a cherry cheesecake.

Grins happily

What are you having?

Chuckles

Couldn't decide? Or it just sounded good? No, I swear I would never steer you wrong when it came to the food here. I promise you, after you taste the food, you'll want to come back again and again and again.

How? We . . . we just happened to find it one day. No, not recently. When we were still in school. Him, Angelina, Alicia, the twins, and I. I don't remember why we were all together or why we were in "Muggle" land but here we were and we found it.

Shrugs

Harry couldn't. Because he still had to stay at his aunt and uncle's at the time.

Yeah, I met his uncle once. He's a real asshole. And his aunt is a major bitch. I don't like them at all. No, I actually had to meet them once. Harry, for some reason had to go back and he wanted a couple of us to go with him, but I was the only one who could. They liked me at first, when they thought that I might actually be a Muggle. When they thought I was "normal". But after Harry told them I had gone to school with him, they turned cold.

Food arrives

Looks and smells good doesn't it?

Nods

Dig in.

An hour later

That was so good. I don't know if I have room for . . .

Groans longingly as dessert arrives

Dessert. Oh, I can never resist their cheesecake. You too? Sometimes Ols and I start with dessert and then have the main course and then have dessert again. It's crazy.

Takes a bite of cheesecake and then sits up

Alright, so more of the story.

Takes a deep breath

Since my first year, Oliver has always been my best friend. Besides, Angelina and Alicia, he's about the only other person that I can pretty much tell anything to. This is going to sound kind of crazy, but I can talk to him about anything and everything. Yeah really! He and I've discussed things like . . . female problems and well, you know stuff like that. I could always go to him when I had guy problems. Especially when I had guy problems. Huh? What kind? Well, like that time I almost dated Marcus Flint. No, during his seventh year. Um, his first seventh year.

No, just all of a sudden one day I developed a HUGE crush on him. Well, it nearly became an obsession with him. I followed him around like those groupies that follow him now. It was really bad. And of course he wouldn't have anything to do with me then because I was a Gryffindor. But I was still obsessed.

Shrugs

Hmm? Well, Oliver took me aside after a Slytherin team practice and had a looooooong talk with me. He warned me to stay away from Marcus. He said that Marcus would only break my heart. Which sort of happened. Marcus found out about my crush and made out his girlfriend where he knew I would come and see them. I ran to Oliver crying.

Stretches

Mm . . . let's go walk down the street. I'm pretty sure Ollie might still be hanging around. He said he would wait for me for a little while. I doubt it. He might actually walk away. Like I said, he didn't like the idea of this interview.

Leaves some money on the table

No, he'll be a gentleman, he just won't talk. He'll walk along with us but will never say a word. He may occasionally smile or softly chuckle but you'll probably forget that he's even here. Not really. The strong and silent one was . . . was . . . Cedric Diggory. That was one of the things that all the girls loved about him. Strong and silent and unnaturally cute.

Giggles

No, Oliver's unnaturally hot.

Turns a corner

We were at a stationary store. No, he likes those sketchpads. They make good playbooks. I don't think he'll still be here. But . . . maybe in one of these stores.

They open the door to a clothing store

Oh look, there he is. See? I told you he'd still be hanging around. Um . . . you'd better wait here. He might really walk away if he sees you. Just hang here a bit.

Walks away

Returns a few minutes later with Oliver in tow

Yep, he came back with me.

Turns to Oliver

Well, you said to act like you weren't here! Well then next time don't come with.

Turns back

Will you excuse us for a few minutes? Thanks.

Walks away with Oliver

Comes back a few minutes later

Yeah, I'm afraid we'll have to continue this tomorrow. I'm really sorry. Where? Oh, yeah. I know the place. Okay, same time? Okay. Bye!

I really hope you liked it. Please review. Thanks!
