But then, he looked away and stood.
"Come on, the forest is not a good place for you"
I nodded feeling disappointed. I should've kissed him. I should've, I kept telling myself. I really wanted to know what it felt like to kiss those sweet and tender lips of his.
He walked me to my grandfathers office and smiled.
"He'll understand." He said and left me alone to talk to my grandfather.
"Oliver?" I stopped him before he could leave.
"Yes?" "Thank you..for.. being there I really appreciate it it was really nice of you"
"I was glad to help...Ally?"
"Yeah?"
"I..I-"
He was actually pausing and it was as if he was thinking ove what he wanted to say. He was about to continue..
"Come in, Alexia" My grandfather stood at the door. I looked at Oliver and shrugged.
"Thanks again" I said and entered

"Good morning everyone, I will not take a lot of time from your breakfast. I just wanted to tell you that our first Hogsmade visit will be this Wednesday. As you all know 3rd years and up are allowed to go. That'll be all" My grandfather smiled and retreaded.
"Yes, I love Hogsmade!" Ron exclaimed.
Meanwhile Stacie and Harry were kissing and smooching. I rolled my eyes and took a drink from my cold milk. It was then Oliver entered. He nodded his head in my direction and smiled.
"God, isnt he just the hottest guy ever?"
"Yeah, he is" 2 girls said and sighed.
I sighed too, how could I not?

"Oh, guess what I found out?" Stacie asked as we walked to Divination.
"What?"
"Oliver has a girlfriend. Sorry I have to tell you this but I just knew youd want to know. Her names Tracy and they've been going out for 2 years now. I even heard that they are engaged"
God that really hit me like a hard rock. I had to swallow and suck it up.
"I told you" I said to Stacie and hurried into Mrs. Trelawanys class.
"Today, were going to be palm reading!" She said in her all exciting voice, the teacher I mean.
"Partner up and tell your friend what lies in her future! Hurry!" She said and clapped her hands. "Ok, I guess youd like to see me give you an example. Here. Alexia-"
She came over and took my right palm. She was really tickling my hand. I was trying hard not to giggle.
"oh, my...looks...like...great sorrow"I laughed.
"I dont even have a boyfriend, but thanks anyway" I said and took my hand back.
"Well you could be mine!" A whole bunch of boys yelled.
"No thanks" I murmured and took Stacies hand.
"You really need to find a boyfriend. Its really affecting your mood"
I rolled my eyes. She was talking none sense.

"Hello, Ally"
Draco came and stood next to me while I held my broom.
"What do you want?"
I was watching Oliver as he helped some girl get on her broom. She was totally faking it. She knew how to get on she just wanted him to touch her. Smart girl!
"Im guessing your father told you?" I nodded and glared at him.
"Just to let you know. Theres no way Im going to marry you"
"Why, not?"
"Because I dont even know you"
"You could" He replied and moved closer.
"Thats ok" I said and scooted away.
"Oh, come on, Im really a nice guy" He said and took my hair in his hands.
"Mr. Malfoy, you dont seem to be doing what I told you to do" Oliver said and walked over to me.
"Im busy" Draco replied.
"Get up there, Mr. Malfoy or Ill have to tell the headmaster that youre not listening to my orders." Draco looked at me and winked.
"see you later, baby!" I groaned and almost cursed but I didnt.
"Thanks" I said to Oliver and mounted my broom.
"Hey,uh...I heard that the hogsmade trip is this Wednesday. I could show you around if you want"
"No, thanks. I dont think its good to be seen hanging out, you know, after all you are my teacher" Oliver nodded.
"Well, if you, you know, -"
"Thanks but Im going with someone" I said and mounted my broom.
"Oh,ok"

"This is really delicious. You were right, Ron" I took a piece of chicken and stuffed my face.
"Take all you want"Harry said jokingly.
"Shut up, Im hungry all that flying around really makes me hungry"
"How can you eat so much and still be a size 0?"
I shrugged.
"Did you hear what McGonagall said today?" I shook my head.
"Theres going to be a dance for Halloween in 2 weeks" I smiled. That sounded fun.
"Anyway, Stacie told me about your fathers news" Hermione said as we walked to the common room after dinner.
"Yeah, it sucks" I said. Just then Draco walked by and blew me a kiss.
"He's such an ass" Hermione said and made an ew sound.
"Its okay because there is no way in hell Im going to marry that creep"
"Alexia, will you come here for a second?" My father said giving me a small glare. He must've heard me talking to Hermione.
"Sure" I said and walked over to him.
"I talked to Draco and he said hes trying his best to get to know you but you're being roud?" I nodded.
"Well maybe it'd be best if you got to know him or you're going to hate marrying him even more"
"Dad, I dont want to marry him. You cant make me"
"Maybe I can. If I have to make you marry him before you're 18 I will" He said.
"You can't control my life!" I yelled and turned.
"Do as I say, Alexia" My father said and walked away.
This time I didnt cry I just went to sleep with anger.

I got up on Wednesday and wore a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved black turtle neck with a black sweater and a scarf since it was cold and rainy outside. I got some money, ok, a lot of money from my grandfather and got ready to do some serious shopping.
"You look great" Hermione commented as I finished doing my make-up.
"Thanks you too" And she did look great.

"Wow, this place is big" I said as we all got out of the carriage.
"It is" I turned to see Oliver. He too was wearing black.
"Morning, Professor" Stacie said.I turned and smiled.
"Bye!" they all yelled.
They all waved and ran away. "Looks like they left" I said quietly.
"You lied, didnt you?" I nodded.
"So, do you want me to show you around?" I nodded again and walked right next to him.
"Can we go into Honeydukes first?" I looked at him.
"Why?"
"Because Im dying to have something chocolaty" I laughed.
"I didnt know you were such a sweet person" I had meant to say sweet tooth. He laughed.
"I am" He responded.
"I didnt mean it that way" He laughed harder.
"Im just kidding" He said and smiled.
When we got to honeydukes he bought me a lollypop. The lady behind the counter, who wasnt really that old, kept giving me a glare and smiling at Oliver. Ha. She thought I was with Oliver? In my dreams.
We finally stopped near the forest and away from the rest of the students.
"That was really fun. Thanks for showing me around" I said and licked my lollypop.
"your welcome" It started raining then but I didnt care. In fact I began twirling around like a little girl.
"You're going to get sick, miss Ally" Oliver said and walked over to me.
"Who cares,professor?" He smiled and I twirled. I twirled so much I almost fell but he caught me by the waist. My whole body trembled then. He was still holding me tight against him.
"You almost fell" Oliver said and took his arms away from around my small waist.
"And you caught me"
He looked at me for a long time and this time he really leaned in. I could feel his breath on my lips, his eyes shining bright and grip around my waist tightenedthis was the moment I had been waiting for.
