AN: Okay, this is for real, once and for all about my chapter lengths, I'm on a LAPTOP, so they seem longer then they are I guess and like I said before: it's quality not quantity! If you want a half ass story with no real plot but is long then go somewhere else, the chapters may be short but I hope that they mean more then a game of spin the bottle! (don't ask, a very bad fanfic shudders). And my chapters only come out fast because 1.) they're pre-written, I wrote them a few months back, and 2.) I have a very loyal...almost stalker-ish fanGIRL (kidding) and you know who you are. So here's another chapter, enjoy.
Too Long In The Rain
Chapter 9
Oliver reached for his wand but remembered he left it in his room," Smart move Wood." So he just watched Pansy who smiled and waved at him and grabbed her wand but before she could say anything Hermione pointed a finger at her and said, "Accio Wand!" Pansy's wand flew out of her hand before she realized what was going on. The former Slytherin student looked around and before he could react she ran of the room and sprinted down the hall in fear and enjoyment at the same time.
Oliver ran out of the room to get a better look and once she was out of sight Oliver remembered Hermione and ran back inside the room and saw her start to wobbly get up. He took a few long strides over to her and helped her up and saw that she had a busted lip from hitting the wall…and then the ground.
He got a tissue and gave it to Hermione who took it thankfully and dabbed her lip then looked over at Oliver locking eyes with him before they both looked away a bit embarrassed. Hermione looked at her arm and realized Oliver still had a firm, but gentle, grasp on her arm.
She took a few steps towards her bed trying not to wince at the pain in her chest where she was kicked then she stumbled backwards and waited for the pain of the hard ground but it never came. She looked up behind her and saw that Oliver had grasped her under the arms gently stopping her. She blushed a bit and Oliver helped her onto her feet and to the bed gently setting her down. She looked back at him and smiled a bit and then said," Thanks Oliver."
Oliver raised his eyebrows then said," Why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you, after all you saved me from…well doing something regrettable with Pansy Parkins."
She looked over at him before looking back at her tissue and dabbed it nervously against her lip," She was reaching for her wand, I couldn't just do nothing."
He smiled a bit and then hugged her gently making her flinch at the sudden touch and he whispered in her ear," Thank you Hermione Granger."
Hermione hesitated then slowly wrapped her arms around the man before her and whispered softly," Anytime."
They stayed like that for a while, how long, neither of them knew, finally Oliver reluctantly pulled away and saw Hermione was half asleep, 'why does she keep falling asleep on me?' he thought looking at her and then decided to do something he knew a fully awakened Hermione would kill him for since he wasn't fond of the idea that another Hermione, or another him even, could walk in undetected he lifted Hermione onto her feet and gently half-carried, half-walked her back to her old room with Fidelis guarding it. The painted lion smiled and waited for a password and heard Hermione mutter it sleepily and swung open allowing the two young teachers into the room.
Oliver walked into Hermione's old room and laid her onto the bed like he did the second day he had been at Hogwarts. He smiled a bit after he left and closed the door then walked into his room and walked over to his bed before laughing and jumping up and down in a happy fashion then said aloud," She called me Oliver."
