Chapter 11 part I
Oliver finished reading the chapter he was reading.
The chapter dealt with mostly the days preceding the final battle. He couldn't put his finger on it but he was sure that Hermione's wand was not a wand anymore. Though he really didn't have much proof to it aside from that scarring in her right arm.
He shook his head and placed a book mark in the book. He didn't want to think of Hermione in any way right now.
Just thinking of her gets well the heat rise in him and he rather not think of that as he was to head to the pitch for his first practice in almost a week an half.
Oliver stood up from the chair and headed to the kitchen to get a bottle of water when his clock started to bell.
It was 9:30 and in an hour he had to go to the pitch.
He slammed his fist into the annoying bird that chirped, as it was the Twin's 23'rd birthday gift. the bird dodged his fist and started to cookoo louder. Annoyed at the bird Oliver whipped out his wand out muttered a spell that shut the door of the bird up, ergo silencing the annoying enchanted bird.
----
"I heard that!"
Hermione inwardly snickered; she tried her best not to make fun of her housemate. But she failed miserably. Just like George she had asked Percy if the shag was good, but Percy replied "Better than ever, not that you would know...how many years has it been Herms?"
Hermione appalled threw the newspaper at the redhead approaching her. He sat in front of her and snatched her tea and drank all of it. "OI! get your own tea Perce..."
Percy laughed and checked his watch. He wasn't THAT late. Heck he had his assistants to deal with those things. Cal, on the other was that late. she had a seminar to teach about half an hour ago. Percy didn't know though. but that's ok. Percy accioed the newspaper and started to read it as Hermione got another cup of tea for herself.
"How was the night with Wood?' asked Percy as he skimmed through the headlines. Hermione said "it was ok.."
Percy looked up from the newspaper then asked. "What? No fireworks no nothing no lay!"
Hermione snorted. "Is that all you think about Perce?"
Percy huffed in disagreement but began to pry information off of Hermione. After a few seconds Hermione finally cracked.
--flash back---
The night before was, well, amusingly fun. After the few minutes of awkward silence, Oliver had suggested they walk around London. Hermione agreed with him and the exited the leaky cauldron. It was only 9:30pm, it wasn't that late yet. Local pubs were open and some were still empty, the pubs don't really fill up till later. Walking down the street lit with tall street lamps, Hermione looked over to see Oliver smiling at nothing. She smiled at that, he looked cute when he just smiled, not his quidditch smile, but his real smile.
"Oliver" said Hermione as she followed him.
"Hmm?"
"Where are we going?" she asked him.
Oliver looked down at Hermione and said, "it's not that far, just a little coffee shop I go to when I try to get away from wizards""Oh"
Oliver then stopped, "Here it is" he said and gestured for Hermione to walk into it.
Blue.
Hermione walked into a quaint little shop, there were small tables all over, each had only at least 3 chairs each. Oliver waved at the barista,and old man who was nearly bald but his face showed a youthful smile. The old man had said "Oliver! Hadn't seen you in a week, the usual? What will the lady take?"
Oliver looked at Hermione; she nodded and looked up the menu just above the coffee bar. She was skimming through the menu looking for something she would like to drink. Often she would just pick tea, but tonight she felt like coffee. She settled for something not that fancy. Hermione liked coffee, but coffee made difficult to order such as any starbucks out there, was something she;d rather not order. She looked at the barista and said.
"How about a Cappuccino with a shot of cherry liquor please"
"Coming right away pretty las,"
Oliver and her sat down near the back of the coffee shop and the old man came after a few minutes with their coffee and a slice of cake. "The cake is on the house" he said, as she walked back to his spot.
"Thats Jerry, he's always been nice."
"Do you go here a lot?" asked Hermione
"Kind of, here no one knows me. They just know me as that guy who sits at the back reading books"
"Oh.."
"Yea a change from the 'OMG ITS WOOD!', I also like quiet you know"
"Well we are all human after all." She looked at him. She never really saw that he was that cute. Sure he had the features of a handsome man, but Hermione always liked guys who were similar to Ron. Now that she thinks about it, Oliver is probably the only one who doesn't resemble Ron at all. His features stood out more in the shadows. His face becoming more mesemerizing each second. Hermione had to concentrate on something else so that she wouldnt look like a drooling fan girl.----
"Hermione?"
Percy said as he waved his hand in front f Hermione's daydreaming face. Hermione snapped out of it.
"Err no it wasn't that bad. He's ok , talked for a bit etc etc...you know then he brought me home .."
"And he gave you a peck on the cheek, very gentlemanly" Percy ended the sentence.
"Well its better than you shagging on the first night you met someone" said Hermione with a smirk. Percy threw up his hands in truce, but he had a smile on his face
The door on the higher landing opened and a scurry was heard, then a loud small shriek. The shriek wasn't Cal it sounded like a rabbit getting squished as they heard Cal's voice saying "Oh my god! SORRY! sorry!..."
After which they found a rabbit limping down the staircase into the sunroom. Then Cal ran back down much like Percy's state earlier. The difference was that Percy was smirking at the sight. Hermione covered Percy's eyes as she told Cal to button up her shirt and such.
"When did you become into such a guy? I swear you were gay with Wood before" said Hermione to Percy whose eyes grew wide.
"LIES I'm not gay! I never was!" said Percy trying to defend himself. Callista and Hermione merely laughed it up.
After the two had left in a swift crack in the sunroom Hermione proceeded to the washroom to shower. She had to meet Oliver in a bit and she didn't want to look like a mess when he saw her.
-
appearing in secluded point, Callista started to run to out of the alley, leaving Percy to trail behind her. He somehow felt that she was abit upset about the morning at the burrow he ran after her and stopped her from going into lecture hall in the building she ran into.
"Cal wait"
"Percy I'm late…I'll talk to you later…"
"Cal just one thing…"
"Yes?"
"Are you in any way wishing that you hadn't met me…or at least..well last night" He took her arm in fear she was going to run away.
"Perce? I did agree to go to your family dinner. I hope you take that as a good sign." She said as she pushed back his curly locks to their neat state. She looked into his eyes and smiled at him.
"Ok then…" Percy said as he let go of her arm. She smiled at him and was going to open the door in front of her when Percy took her by her arm again and turned her around. He leant in to kiss her passionately on the lips making her knees go weak for a bit. She arched her back and placed her arms around his neck.
They didn't even notice the door open when a college student stepped out to go to the office to ask about their T.A. The student held the door open gaping at Cal and Percy and the whole Lecture hall erupted in wolf whistling and cat calls. After that the couple stopped kissing and looked at the crowd behind them. Cal gingerly smiled at the crowd then turned her attention to Percy who was red in embarrassment. She then kissed him again and then said. "Come by my office later during lunch…is just down the hall" she then went into the lecture hall shouting to the students to shut up and starts taking down notes. "Oh yes definitely Prof! first hand observations on mating rituals of an urban dweller!" shouted one of the students from behind which caused more laughter. "Alright, settle down. For that Mr. Malory, could you tell the whole class about urban mating rituals…that is if you enough about it" The class started to laugh again and left the student with out words.
The door slowly closed and Percy stood there watching Callista as she started her lecture, oddly, on the difference between modern day dating to olden times. He smiled as he saw a last glimpse of her as she looked at him through the closing door and smiled at him quite warmly.
Percy stood there smiling to a door after it closed. He then walked down the hall to look for her office, mentally noting where it was and proceeded out to apparated to work.
.--. . .-. -.-. -.--
Oliver was already on his broom doing laps around the pitch when he saw Hermione walk out from the coaches office with his coach who was talking animatedly with the doctor.
Oliver squinted to see what the doc was wearing but didn't have the eye sight of a seeker to see thing as far as such where Hermione was. He was brought back to reality when the seeker zoomed in front of him and blockaded his path.
"What the fuck Creegan!" shouted Wood on the top of his voice. The younger man just sat on his broom smiling evilly at the keeper.
"Wood, don't tell me Jr. is being a coward and wont go near the hole?"
Oliver huffed and zoomed to Creegan who was sure Wood would collide with him. Wood smirked at the English man's distressed face and said "No General Wood is not afraid of the hole, he's just taking his sweet time."
Creegan laughed. The coach then called the whole team down to the stands. As they descended Oliver could hear the rest of the team sing "you want too hugg her.." that same bloody song from the hospital. He just went along with it and started to conduct them with his right hand, while his left was on the broom head.
"Ok so today we have our keeper back! Kids play nicely. The world cup eliminations are in 2 weeks, we have to train harder in rain, sunshine, clouds, thunder; every possible situation. Lets just hope none of you have the same predicament as Wood. Creegan, Lacrue, Duke, Peekes, Bones did you get checked?" asked the Coach. They all nodded. The coach then laughed out quite hoarsely.
"Okay, no one gets injured or we're surely be out of the top contenders for the finals…."
Jacque Lacrue, one of the chasers then said. "But if we get injured we might get a doctor as pretty as Woods!"
Eva then snickered and said "What's the problem Jacques, no action lately?"
Hermione laughed at the teams friendly teasing as she tried not to look at Wood so hungrily. Hungry for what though? Hungry for attention. The whole practice, all 4 hours of it, Hermione sat in the stands with the coach as they analyzed how Oliver was moving differently, and they concluded that the padding wasn't bothering the keeper at all.
Around 2pm the team got a 2 hour break to recollect themselves as the coach knows that rest always brings on a better practice after. Hermione sat in her seat tracing the scar in her arm. Oliver, instead of going to lunch had decided to stick around with the doctor. He sat beside her, sweaty and all, and watched her finger at it traced down the long scar in her arm. He noted that it was as long as a wand for her.
"What happened there?" asked Oliver. Hermione smiled an pulled down the sleeve on her arm. She smiled and shook her head. "A little accident a long time ago" she said as she pushed up the bridge of sunglasses. Oliver didn't want to try to pry it out of her, not right now at least. Last night was fun and he didn't want to change anything at all. Last night could pave way for possibly a relationship, may it be friendship or something much more, with Hermione.
Oliver then stood up and took Hermione's hand. "Let's eat…" Hermione nodded and picked up her stuff and headed down the stands and consequently outside the pitch to a small diner just outside the pitch.
The whole team watched as Oliver left with Hermione, the coach came into the change rooms just in the right moment.
"Okay kids…stop stalking" said the coach and the whole team shushed him as they watched Oliver get an aguamenti casted on to wash off the sweat then a quick drying spell. The coach shook his head, amused at his team. The whole team have been looking out for Oliver since Katie Flint left him and this was something that intrigued them. Why does Wood get the good looking ones?
Eva then said. "I put ten galleons he's going to anger her by after our practice later."
Jacques Lacrue, one of the seekers, scratched his head and said. "I say I have to go against you on that Eva, he usually doesn't do that till after 2 weeks…so ten galleons against you" This made Creegan snort and he put more money in the pot and wagered against Jacques. Duke, the third chaser, had sided with Jacques. The beaters had a wager of their own. "He's angering her alright, but by this Sunday he's going to go to dinner with her" Everyone looked at the two beaters and laughed. "Unlikely!" The team agreed to pay up by 2 weeks. The coach then shouted at them to go eat their lunch or not have lunch at all. The whole team groaned and started to change to go for a quickly lunch.

Helen Parker sat in her office at the new Azkaban, reading through reports on her next patient. She sighed as she looked at it, Narcissa Malfoy was a pain in the neck but it was her job to talk to a mad woman such as the platinum blonde who just stepped into her office.
"Good after noon Narcissa, please seat down" Narcissa made a none comital grunt and sat down on the lounge chair.
"Anything new?" asked Helen. Narcissa merely laughed and said there was nothing new.
"All I see are these walls, nothing else. I have no more magic. What else could be new you blood traitor."
"Mrs. Malfoy, we don't like prejudices like that. So how are feeling?"
"Like I need fresh air out of this place"
"Ok then, in your timetable you have a 30 minutes walk out in the quad."
"That isn't enough time"
"That is impossible Narcissa"
"As always nothing is ever possible in this world ran by blood traitors like that Weasley"
"Such anger Narcissa, isn't healthy at all, do you want something to relax you?"
"No thank you Parker…"
"Okay then, if there aren't anything anymore to be said, I guess you have this time to walk about in the quad with one of our nurses"
"What ever...mark my words though, there are more of us out there than you think. Stay safe Ms. Parker" Narcissa stood up gracefully and exited the room.
Helen sighed and pushed the record button on the recorder beside her. It was protocol that all conversation with the inmates were to be recorded for filing purposes. The new Ministry did not want insiders working for them. The new ministry was afraid to have another lunatic to control over mindless people such as the Malfoys.
