--Ollie-hermy-Percy---
Hermione had to go back for an early 12 hour shift. She groggily got up from her bed and tripped on an angry male cat by her feet. She showered then headed down to the hospital which was a 10 minute bike ride. She went into the lockers and changed into her hospital clothes. After getting her morning coffee she proceeded on checking up on her amusing patient, named Oliver Wood, who had been mumbling in his sleep, according to the report written by the nurse who took care of him in the recovery room. She chuckled when she had gone in to find a groggy Wood who was staring at what the nurse who was refreshing the bandages on his limb.
"Morning sleepy head!"
"Ugh….its too early Hermione,"
"Oh don't be such a lazy ass Mr. Wood."
"Ugh…its stingssss"
"It should really, if you take pain killer's it'll loose its effect if you take too much, and the slightest sting would be painful, now suck it in and be a man"
"I am a man! You saw it!" Oliver said while a cute smile crept on his visibly sleepy face.
"Oh be quiet, how's the cut healing?" asked Dr. Granger. The nurses who were listening to the conversation chuckled slightly as she wrapped up the incision on the patient upper thigh.
"It's good; I applied some disinfectant cream, just in case. Well then Mr. Wood, you can be moved back now"
"Ugghhh...too early……" Dr. Granger and the nurse laughed.
-
Percy was sleeping in the sofa of the Burrow, since he had gotten home late last night after he had gone back to his office after office hours to retrieve his work when Helen had dragged him to dinner with her husband and child. He yawned as he looked at the squeaking yellow puff rolling around on his stomach. He flicked it and it cried in pain only to be jumped by a little girl nearly 6 years old.
"UNCLE Percy!"
"Gillian, what are you doing here….where's your parents…"
"Oh they are at work already….you slept on the couch…and why did you flick Sunny!"
Percy stumbled off the sofa and picked up the auburn haired girl who woke him up and brought her with him to the kitchen where he found his parents and George.
-
Oliver later woke up back in his room. Helen had already been sitting on the chair holding 4 year old little girl in her arms as they watched some awfully bright colored mascots with handles on their heads singing some stupid song. He grunted and looked at them. "Victoria…."
"Uncle Ollie! Mummy Uncle Ollie is awake!"
Helen looked at him and smiled. "How do you feel?"
Oliver before answering looking underneath his covers and said "Calmed down…still stings…"
"Mummy, why did Uncle Ollie look underneath he sheets? Is there a monster in there?"
Helen laughed. Oliver scowled at his sister knowing the double meaning to it. After she had gotten hold of herself she explained. "No monsters, just a huge cut on his leg..."
"Oh okay. Mummy it's done, can I watch some Babar now"
Helen nodded and gave the control to the little girl she looked at her brother was checking underneath the sheets again.
"Ollie, it's gone."
"Just checking...why'd ya bring Vic?"
"It's Friday, and daycare she goes to is closed so I took her with me, and I have a day off from reforming criminals…Malfoy gives me a headache…"
"The mom, the dad?"
"The mom, such a stuck up twit."
"Oh…ugh stings"
"Dr. Granger said it would, she said that you should suck it in like a man and don't take any pain killers"
"Damn woman…"
"Well your team is coming by later to see how you are and your coach already talked to me and I suggested he talked to Dr Granger"
"Oh…great…"
-
Percy walked into the kitchen to find his parents and George talking about invisibility cloaks. Gillian had wiggled out of his grasp and was now running to his mum.
"Morning Mum, dad, George"
"Morning Perce" they all said while Percy took the seat next to George. He looked around the room yawned. George let out a laugh. Percy looked over and saw he was reading one of those gossip magazines. Percy looked at the heading of the article his brother was reading and it read "English Keeper bad in bed?" Percy chuckled and went on drinking the cup of coffee his mother had put in front of him. "Thanks mum…"
"No problem dear, so tonight is the weekly family dinner. George bringing anyone?"
"Well of course"
Percy snorted and then asked, "What's the name of the flavor of the week?"
"Not flavor of the week but flavor of the month…she's wrapped me like a mummy, name is Jackie, a cousin of Cho. She owns this art gallery just outside of Diagon Alley"
"Wrapped like a snake, I want to meet this girl now…so how does she look like"
"5'4-ish, healthy thin, black hair, oriental. Pretty much like Cho, but she has short hair"
"Good luck mate"
"Whatever oh ever so single one"
Mr. Weasley who had been listening in suddenly said, "So Percy bringing anyone tonight?"
Percy snorted and then said "I'll bring myself…"
Out of the whole family there were only two left who weren't married. That was Percy and George, by the looks of it, George might be sent down the aisle soon, that is if that girl he was talking about would lock him up for good. Percy however, well it's a long shot. He had another hour till he was needed at work and decided to go see how his friend was doing at the muggle hospital.
-
"Dr Granger," asked a random nurse.
"Yes?"
"The coach of the Scotsman from 540 just came; he wants to speak with you"
"Oh ok, tell them I'll be there in a few"
"Yes Ma'am,"
Hermione got up from her desk and picked the Wood folder and headed to room 540. When she got there, she found that there were 8 adults and a kid in the room. She knocked on the door and walked in. "Hello, Mrs. Parker, Oliver, and his team mates" Helen stood up and shook the doctors hand then introduced the little girl, "Dr Granger, nice to see you again, I'd like you to meet Victoria"
"Hi" said the little girl.
"Hello there Victoria, did you know you're named after the queen. A regal name…."
Oliver snorted and said "You sound like Percy, Hermione"
Hermione scowled at Oliver and said "better be Percy than you Oliver, now please tell me you haven't been scratching those bandages of yours" Oliver mumbled and shut up pouting, causing his teammates to laugh at him. A small burly man walked up to her and shook her hand.
"Hello Dr. Granger, I'm Coach Millard,"
"Nice to meet you Mr. Millard, do you want to discuss this somewhere else?"
"Of Definitely Dr Granger, Oy KIDS don't injure our Keeper's ego any further. Lead the way Doctor"
"Sure, come along then"
While Hermione smiled at the rest of the team and said her adieus to the Parkers, Oliver was staring at her, it somewhat reminded her of Harry and Ron when they saw Fleur for the first time. She then smiled warmly at him before she left the room. His team mates looked at him and started snickering. The only woman on the team, who was a chaser, said.
"Ollie has a crush!"
"Shut up Eva" said a blushing Oliver. The team then started teasing him, worse his sister and his niece joined in.
"Uncle Ollie? When are you getting married I want cousins! Can't you ask the doctor? She's pretty!" said the little girl which caused more laughter from the crowd in the room.
-
Hermione lead the short burly coach into one of the conference rooms on the floor. She shut the door and waved her wand hand and then sat down across the coach.
"Mr. Millard, Helen has told you what happened right?"
"Yes, I always told my players to cast …I mean put on protection on parts they think should be protected"
"Well obviously Mr. Wood hasn't has he...?"
"Well yeah" Hermione noted that the coach looked tense as if he was Malfoy trying to talk "muggle language".
"Don't worry, I already casted a silence charm around the room…"
"Oh a witch! well that makes things easier"
"Certainly…"
"So how long will be off the broom?"
"About 2 ½ weeks, then, he can't ride it unless he has protection pads around his nether regions"
"Ugh…where will I get that, no one has made them yet"
"Well, I could possibly help"
"Oh how?"
"Well it's a simple armor charm and such…"
"Oh, I've heard of you before... Hermione Grange is it? The golden trio?"
"Sir, please don't call us that"
"Oh, well I trust that we arrange something"
"Definitely,"
"How bout fees?"
"Since Oliver is an old schoolmate and fellow Gryffindor I won't charge you for any fees, but you however have to buy the materials for these pads…"
"It's a deal then, here's my card and just owl me. Is it possible to have it in 2 weeks time?"
"As long as I keep contact, it'll be…"
"Thanks Doc, so can we go back now…"
"Yes, it's good that at least the coaches take care of their players, even if they themselves don't…"
-
Percy came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his bottom. He walked into his room and slammed the door as he didn't want to be bugged by George and his mum about his love life. He took the comb from the dresser and started to comb his damp hair. Percy turned around and looked at himself at the mirror hanging at the back of his door. He picked up his glasses on the dresser and eyed himself. He chuckled at himself and started to dress up.
Someone knocked on his door and he opened it after he had put on his clothes, a small voice boomed, he looked down and saw Gillie. He smiled at the little girl and let her in his room leaving the door ajar.
"Uncle Perce, can I borrow one of your books? I already finished the book Aunty Hermy gave on my birthday"
"Oh, well pick one and show it to me ok? So Gillie, light blue or dark blue?"
"Light blue! Why is Uncle Percy so happy?"
"Oh nothing my favorite niece"
"I'm your only niece…for now that is…"
"True true, well light blue…"
"Is Uncle Percy going on a date?"
"Nope, just dressing up nicely…"
"Trying to impress a girl? Cuz Uncle George does that when he tries to impress a girl!"
"Oh shush you…a book?"
"Here, can I read this?"
"Hogwarts a history….do you really want to read this? It's boring you know"
"Well, last week Aunty Hermy was on the phone with mummy and I talked to her too. Mum said something about Aunty Hermy hugging Hogwarts a History when she slept and something about Aunt Hermy marrying the book…so I'm wondering why would Aunty Hermy want to marry a book"
Percy chuckled at this, somehow he saw Hermione in her knickers and socks stroking the book cooing at it, he felt a blush coming into his face thinking of this. He shook his head trying to get the image out of his head. Percy then handed the book back to the little girl and said
"Here kid read it, now don't loose it ok?"
"Yes sir thanks!"
"Welcome, so how do I look? Do I look stunning, handsome, irresistible?"
"You look clean" said the little girl nonchalantly as she skimmed through the first few pages of the thick book.
"That's even better, care to accompany me downstairs me'lady?"
"Definitely dear sir!"
Percy with Gillian in his arms went down to the living. He threw the little girl on the fluffy couch, which caused her to giggle, while he went to grab his bag from the kitchen. He then said his good byes to his parents and his brother, then apparated to a safe point near the muggle hospital.
-
Coach Millard walked in the room to find his team harassing the ego of their Keeper. Not to mention the little girl who was also riding in on the joke, Oliver looked very annoyed, speechless and pink. The team was singing, "you want to huuug her, you want to kisss her, love her and marry her..." over and over. The coach coughed to get their attention just when the doctor walked in flipping through a file folder looked up the serenading team. "Oh dear me" said the doctor. She shut the door as not to disturb the rest of the hospital with the off tuned serenading voices of the Quiddtich team that was in front of her. The coach smiled and coughed loud, when that didn't get the team's attention the coach threw a plastic cup at the seeker who caught it and everyone stopped singing at the now very embarrassed Oliver.
"I did tell you not to hurt his ego even more..."
"Sorry coach" said the seeker named Creegan.
"Ok out, all of you out! Onto to the pitch…"
"AWW COACH!" said the whole team. But the coach glared at them and they soon filed out one by one after they had said their 'get well' to Oliver who now had his niece on the bed pinching his nose.
The coach then started to talk to Oliver while Dr. Granger was there.
"Oliver, you have a 2 ½ weeks of rest."
"Come on coach…I can still ride with this injury. I've had bludgers hit my head so many times you'd think my brain was knocked out of its place!"
"Not the point, a brain can be put back using potions and proper care, a Keeper who is …" The coach cast a smile in the little girl attentively listening on the conversation continued on "-is always up and about, excited, cant ride a broom well…"
"Coach!"
"Enough Wood, it's for your own good, plus you need sometime off. The others already took their offs, you never take offs"
"Ugh…"
"Oh one more thing, 2 weeks from now, when you back on the seat, you're not playing/practicing, with out proper pads/armor or protection"
"Coach no one has made any yet…how do you suggest I do that then?"
"Dr Granger over here has volunteered to devise one…"
Oliver looked at Hermione. He smiled and looked back at his coach scowling. Helen stifled a laugh and picked up Victoria from Oliver's side and exited the room saying they were going to look for something to nibble. After they exited the room Dr Granger waved her right arm and started to talk.
"You see Mr. Wood, for a year now, this hospital has been getting the same types of cases as yours. Though the staff has always thought that it had something to do with one's sex life, life decisions, you know all that stuff. When I reviewed the files just this morning, I realized that it was sport related because about 6 months ago, Roger Davies had been admitted here and a similar case. Now I am not saying that Quiddtich is bad, I dare say I like the sport, but you people need to protect yourself more."
"But Hermiooonneeeeee" whined Oliver. Hermione glared at him.
"Anyway, in my 6th year just before we left for…well the war, I and one of my friends had designed light weight, second skin type of armor. Coincidentally, it was also equipped with simple spell reflective spell and was used when we were battling Voldemort's lackeys. We made 4 armors though there is only one left, and it can be reproduced to your body's proportion in 2 weeks or so."
"But Herrrmiioooonneeee! Let me play my sport!"
"I will not allow it, as your Doctor I feel that going back on a broom after what has happened can only injure you more. If Victor Krum listens to my medical advice, so will you!"
Oliver pouted and huffed in disapproval, looking much like a toddler who was sent to a corner. The Coach laughed and said.
"You never told me you already had a proto type Dr. Granger"
"Oh thats because you never asked, one of the secrets of the last great way isn't it then, don't tell anyone. I'll contact the WWW later on to get some of the materials for this."
"Great! Now Oliver, follow this Doctor of yours, she knows best. Well I have to go to the pitch, I will owl you later on Dr Granger, and please send me the probably bill for one suit"
"Sure thing Mr. Millard"
"Oliver…"
"YES YES…I'll stay put, I'll follow…"
"Ok then, nice meeting you Doc, and take care…Oh Helen, I'll see you around. Bye Victoria"
-
Percy, in haste, walked to Oliver room. He bumped into the good doctor causing her to jump as she was surprise. "Sorry doctor" he said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"No problem Percy..." she said sweetly as she closed the door. Neither saw Oliver's face when he was watching the two interact, well before the door was closed on him.
"Hermione, good morning"
"Good morning to you too. So why so bright and happy?"
"Oh nothing…"
"Oh well ok…your friend. Tell him to follow me or he shall suffer my wrath…"
Percy chuckled at this remembering the flock of yellow canaries she sent at Ron during Bill's wedding, when Ron had ogled too much at Gabrielle De La Cour.
"I will tell him that."
"Well good day to you"
Percy nodded and she smiled at him. Hermione then started to walk again when something inside Percy made him impulsive and call the doctor back. Though Percy didn't know why he wanted to call her back. A date. Merlin Percy you're getting worse with each girl. A doctor, your friend's doctor! BLAH.
"Hermione!" She stopped and turned around to look at Percy. He noted that she looked really cute with the messy bun on her head and somehow he kept on seeing her cooing at a book in her knickers and stripped red and mustard colored socks. Percy shook his head as Dr. Granger's face became clear again. "Yes?" she asked. Percy stammered but soon got it out.
"Uhm…well…there's this dinner tonight and…I was wondering if you'd like to come to dinner with me…. I mean it's the whole family and I'd like you to come as my date, if you want to. I'll understand if you don't want to I mean-"
"No…I mean yes, I'd love to come with you"
"I mean I'm scruffy looking now, people call me the second Bill due to the beard and the long hair. I really wouldn't be surprised if a pretty woman like you would have plans tonight you know, rather than to go to dinner with a guy like me-"
"-Perce, I said yes. So it's a date"
"OH...-holy shit score! - good!"
She walked up to him and gave him a peck on the check.
"Where will I meet you then?"
"Uhm…how about meeting me at Leaky Cauldron? What time does your shift end?"
"Today, 6pm, 12 hour shifts you know"
"Of course I know I have, most of the time, 13-15 hour, depends on the events of the day" She laughed, Percy thought this was very cute though the persistent image of Hermione and book kept on popping on his head.
"So 7:10 pm at the Leaky Cauldron and we'll disapparate from there"
"Ok it's a date"
"Definitely…"
"Bye"
"Bye"
Hermione walked away smiling from ear to ear, though Percy didn't see it. He was also smiling from ear to ear. He opened the door and he saw a grumpy looking Oliver, though he didn't know why he was so grumpy looking. Must be still on medication.
"Goood morning Uppy!" Percy boomed at the grumpy looking friend. Helen merely smirked and gave Percy a hug. Oliver still looked annoyed, it continued on the whole day. The usually flirty Keeper, didn't even hit on the nurses that came in to check up on him.
