Too Long In The Rain
Chapter 14
Hermione's eyes widened and before she knew what she was doing she was kissing the young flying teacher back. She opened her eyes when she heard a curse being yelled and her mind screamed," NO!" She pushed Oliver out of the way and they landed hard on the ground next to each other. Hermione looked up at who tried to curse them, and it was, of course, Viktor Krum.
Hermione grabbed her wand and pointed it at Viktor and sent his wand flying, now she had it pointed at his throat and was about to say a curse when Oliver's arm came out of nowhere and lowered her arm," Hermione, no."
Hermione looked at him then back at Viktor and said," You walked away, YOU." She paused seeing the look on his face then said, "now I'm over you." Viktor was about to say something when Hermione raised her wand again and he shut up. Hermione kept it there while she said," We're done here." Viktor nodded and Hermione lowered it once more and then she and Oliver walked away from the pitch but not before Oliver grinned at Viktor in a satisfied way.

Once they were inside they silently walked into Hermione's room where she proceeded to lay her wand on her desk then her body on her bed. She covered her head with a pillow and just laid there. Oliver smiled and lifted the pillow and saw that she had a few tears coming out of her eyes, he sat down next to her and asked," What's wrong Hermione? You won."
She nodded and sat up this time not moving away from Oliver," I know."
Oliver was confused now," Then why are you crying?"
"He makes me remember, what we had, how it ended." She explained.
Oliver rung his hands," So you're still in love with him…"
Hermione lifted her head then shook it," No, I meant what I said, I'm over him." She looked at him meaningfully," I think I'm ready to move on."
He looked at her," You think?"
She smiled a bit," I'm ready."
He smiled back and said," I would really like to kiss you now Hermione Granger."
"I would really like that too Oliver Wood." She smiled a true smile now as he leaned forward and kissed her gently.
--
The next day Oliver woke up next to Hermione, he sat up and realized that they had stayed up all night talking and had fallen asleep. He looked over at Hermione and smiled as she stirred and then woke up looking at him. She smiled at him and said," Hi."
Oliver smiled back," Hi."
She sat up," We should get ready for class."
He laughed a bit," You sound just like you did when we were in school."
She chuckled," Yes but now if we're late to class we could get fired, that means no more money."
He nodded," Right."
--
Oliver waited outside Hermione's door and looked at Fidelis who said," I don't recall you leaving last night."
Oliver looked at him and said quickly," We just talked, I swear-"
Fidelis laughed," I know young Wood, I know, and I stand by what I said, hurt her, and you will have a lot of people to deal with."
Oliver nodded then said," I would never intentionally hurt her."
Fidelis looked grim," That's what Viktor Krum said."
Oliver was about to say something when Hermione walked out, this time her hair down and she looked stunning, as Fidelis remarked on, and they walked into the Great Hall together, hand in hand.
