Chapter 26
I ran to the office Professor McGonagall had lent me. After all they knew nothing, I had to tell Oliver that, and I wanted to talk to him about the fight with Cedric.
How could he have come here to pick a fight with him and not even mentioned it to me. It didn't sound like the Oliver I loved. So as I waited by the fire looking into the dancing flames I watched for his face to appear. I knelt on the cold hearth and waited for what felt like an age until at last the outline of his face appeared smiling at me. As I saw the smile I couldn't help but smile back even though I was cross with him.
"hey there Bell." He smiled as he winked at me. I smiled back before I could help myself. My knees were going numb but I had no intention of standing, I would talk to him now.
"I heard you came to the school." I said softly without warning. I saw the look on his face change; as if he had turned to look at his feet. Then his eyes shot up and met mine again, his expression hardened, I knew this look, this was the look he got every time one of us had dropped the quffal or let the snitch get caught.
"Yeah what did Cedric tell you?" he said in a soft cold voice.
"It wasn't just Cedric, others told me too. Why did you start the fight? You have nothing to worry about. I have chosen you over and over again." I said folding my arms, if he wanted a fight I would give him one. He looked at me now and the flames seemed to grow hotter and higher.
"Well." He said as if looking for something to say.
"Well, is that your argument, my god Oliver I have enough to deal with without worrying that you are going to beat up any lad that talks to me." I said in a quite hushed voice. He again turned to look at his feet this time out of shame.
"But he loves you, you do know that?" Oliver said in a defeated voice. I gave a low sigh and rocked back on my heels.
"Yes I know, but I love you. Cedric is just my friend and he needs my support with the tournament. I need his support too with Dumas, you can't be with me always. Oh god Oliver, Dumbledore hasn't got a clue what's going on. He just told me so." I sighed as I looked at the outline of Oliver's fallen face.
"I have to go." I sighed not giving him time to say anything else I left the office close to tears and more confused then ever. I walked into the garden and saw him standing under the willow tree, his shoulders slumped and his head bowed. I went to him and smiled as he turned to see who was coming. Before I knew it he was holding me tight as if I was the first person he had seen in weeks.
"We'll get through this. Both of us."
