Ch 11 part 2
Back in the air, the whole team was wondering what the hell happened this lunch. Wood had a smiling face since he came back what ever insult the coach, who was getting frustrated, said to them Wood merely smiled and nodded. Oliver wasn't slacking off really; he just had a smiling face on. Was there something wrong with a smiling face? Well in theory a smiling face is infectious but a smug one is annoying. Oliver had one on his face.
Hermione had excused herself earlier after lunch as she had to visit her mom in the hospital, so she didn't know about Wood's face. Something funny happened during lunch and Wood wasn't going to tell a soul. Then again there are many ways to get information from any wizard.
"Wood wipe that face off and start doing your job!" shouted the coach. After which Wood blocked the quaffle from Eva and said "I am doing my job!"
The coach roared in laughter. His keeper when inspired plays the best games of his life. He didn't want to loose Oliver's spirit in the next few weeks they need to get on the Finals, it was do or die, it's being held in the northern England and they had to show to the world that England could play. The past finals were always held on foreign soil to both teams. The coach wanted to be the first to play finals on their motherland, the first in half a century at least, and they had a lot of work to do.
- 2 pm -
Somebody knocked on Cal's door at the college. She was sitting at her desk looking through the papers that were handed in this morning. That Cultural class was sometimes a pain in the ass. Everyone always thinks its easy work, but to Cal it wasn't at all. Sure the papers were entertaining to read, as many students make absurd-the-night-before papers, Cal would've rather worked as a TA for her field, but the dean advised she taught something different as to not contaminate her research or the curriculum of the that course. She sighed and shouted "Come in".
Percy walked in holding a small paper bag. "When I said lunch, I meant 12-1pm…" said Callista. Percy smiled and sat down on the chair in front of her. "And I came by that time and found that you were swamped with papers, you didn't notice me…sooo I decided to check your schedule, which was conveniently on the wall just past your door, and came back at a time you had sometime to spare"
Callista smiled at the paper she was marking and placed a post it on the spot she was reading then looked up at Percy who was holding the paper bag. "I'm guessing that's lunch?" she asked as she stood up and closed her door. "Yups, a simple chicken panini with a side salad…I had one for myself too you know…well I ate it earlier..."
"Percy thanks.." she said as she bent down to give him a kiss on the cheek
"No problem…" he said.
After 30 minutes Percy had excused himself to go back to work, and leave Cal to her work as she had a seminar at 3:00 pm. Just before Percy left the office Callista said "I may have made the right choice of sleeping with you right away"
Percy smiled at her and said "You did make the right choice…I'll call you later"
"I'd love that…"
With that Percy left the office and went back to work. He and his team were to go on the site of the finals and start coordinating with the Curse breaker team.

The Team had been zooming around the pitch for a bit now. Wood was given a challenge of guarding both posts and he did so quite well. The coach was quite impressed Wood having a girl in that head of his usually brings good tidings. When Wood was with Katie Bell, now Flint, he was at his best earning the first string keeper in Puddlemere.
At 5:50pm the coach blew his whistle to end the practice. The team , beat from the days practice, all went to the change rooms. Oliver had been elected to put away the equipment, and he did so willingly after which he went into the change rooms as well for a quick shower. The team had already given up poking him for information about his lunch with Hermione. He had taken a shower then left earlier than the rest and headed to his flat. He found 5 owls sitting in the perch with his Owl named Post, who looked quite annoyed at the foreign owls sitting on his perch. He took the mail and gave each owl a bacon bit before they left.
He was reading his mail when his phone rang. It was Hermione.
"Hi Oliver"
"Hey there, what can u do for you my lady?"
"Err…nothing really, I was just wondering, do you know anyone who would adopt a kitten?"
"Uhm, I might ask around if you want me to."
"Yes that would help, I think my cat is due in a week or so, there are at least 4 kittens according to the vet"
"Oh well then I shall ask then" said Oliver as he rummaged through his cupboard and his fridge finding there wasn't any food in it at all.
"That'd be appreciated…and I would appreciate that you don't tell Percy anything"
"Come one Herms I promised you I wouldn't tell Percy that. Though it would be fun to see how he would reacts to that.."
"Seriously Wood if you do I'll tell that Skeeter woman what really happened to you"
"I was just kidding!...anyway, do you have plans tonight?"
"Not really just dinner"
"Want to go help me do my grocery?"
"I'm not that bored"
"Come on please! I get weirded out by those muggles at that that store thing"
"Fine…Where shall I meet you?"
"Apparate to my home,"
"Ok then…."
After giving her the location Hermione apparated just outside in an alley where Oliver was already waiting for her. They proceeded to the grocery store and started their hunt for Oliver's food.
In every single isle a woman had hit one or checked out Oliver. Even the stackers were checking him out. Hermione merely laughed at this as Oliver was quietly murmuring "This is the reason why I always bring someone with me. Percy came with me once, but people thought we were gay…then I brought my sister which she just used this against me. I always try to come before the busy hour of the grocery store"
"Uh huh, here this is good, easy to make, have you had this?" Hermione asked as she held the can of canned soup at Olive who mouthed the brand. "Chunky soup? Err…I don't own anything to open that with"
Hermione laughed and just placed the two cans into the cart. Then she did a double take and placed 3 more cans into the cart. Just when she did a woman who was near them had "accidentally" made all the cans fall. Hermione huffed. Stupid whores. She was going to walk away when Oliver, being the clueless man he is, had bent down to help the lady who looked much like a rabbit in heat. Chest puffed out and bum sticking out. "Seriously" she muttered. She went over to Oliver and helped him help the whore, I mean, woman.
"Honey we have to go…" Hermione said as Oliver was trying to wring away from the woman. "Honey?" said Oliver wondering what the hell Hermione was up. He looked at her in err. Hermione then took his hand into her own and tugged him away like a common clingy girlfriend. "But honey, we don't want to be late for dinner with my parents" Oliver eventually got what she meant and said "Ah yes dear…sorry bout this," he said to the lady who was now pouting. "I love her too much to make her wait, be careful now lass" the girl smiled at Hermione and them winked at Oliver and walked away trotting like a poodle in a dog show.
"Honey EH…" said Oliver. Hermione huffed. "Well would you rather me leave you alone with someone in heat such as that poodle? You did ask me to accompany you to do your grocery right?"
"Hey, wait…don't go all errrr…mean…at me….by the way your hands are absolutely smooth" Oliver said as he rubbed his thumb on her skin. Hermione blushed for a bit and when she looked up Oliver had eyes as big as saucers. "What?" she asked trying to look back when Oliver had dragged her to another isle.
"Whaatt?" she asked again.
"I just saw Flint that bastard…10 galleons say Katie is somewhere here too"
"You are being paranoid" said Hermione as she picked up a box of pasta to see the table of contents at the back when Oliver put his hand on her shoulder and said.
"Shit…Hermione don't hex me.."
"Whaa-"
WHAM
Hermione stood there stunned at Oliver. Oliver had kissed her, in the middle of the grocery store. She looked up to see those dome cameras right on top of them. Oliver pushed her against the stacking and kissed her deeper. She would've pushed him off if she wasn't enjoying his kiss, or rather if she didn't want him to kiss her.
"Well well well…crude as a caveman still aren't you Wood?"
Oliver didn't pay attention to the voice. He kissed Hermione deeper, which she allowed him to, and pushed her against the stacks harder. Oliver didn't intend of getting turned on by this, but making out in a deserted grocery store isle was a turn on he didn't know existed in his little mind. Hermione gasped as she felt him on her thigh.
"See this is why he is still single and I am happily married to the most beautiful woman on the earth…" said a male voice.
Oliver decided to pull away before he just picked Hermione up and apparate to his flat and ravish her. He looked down at the woman gasping for air, he looked at her hungrily. Oliver then looked to the couple just down the isle and said. "That's right Flint, go fuck that rabbit…" Hermione looked down at where Oliver had shouted and found Flint and Katie Bell sneering at Wood. Oliver looked back at Hermione who smiled at him and took her hand as he pushed the cart down the isle. "Oh Hun, we need this" said Hermione as she placed a pack of pasta into the cart. Katie gaped at the Hermione when they got nearer.
"Hermione Granger?"
"Oh Katie! Hello"
"I'm fine, happily married to the best man in the world…"
"Oh who?"
"DO you remember Marcus Flint?"
"of course how could I forget a person like him"
"Hello mudblood" said Flint nonchalantly. Hermione's face didn't change she just looked at Flint as if he was dirt.
Oliver had pushed the cart too fast into flint and flint shouted "OUCH…watch it Blood traitor!"
"You watch your mouth you bastard" said Oliver in loathing. "Ol, sweetie. It's ok. Well it was nice bumping into you Katie but I think Oliver and I have to finish our grocery…isn't that right Hun?" said Hermione as she tugged Oliver's hand. Oliver was still having a glaring competition against Flint. "Yes, ok…bye Flint…see you in the pitch oh wait, I'm in the national team….ha.." Oliver then pushed the cart passed Flint's cart. Before they could get away from the couple fully Katie then shouted.
"So this means your taking her to the opening ball then? I am after all still the coordinator"
Oliver stopped and frowned. He looked at Hermione who was blushing still. He had a pleading face and Hermione then said. "Oh yes he is going to the ball, isn't that right Hun?"
"Oh yes definitely" agreed by Oliver. Katie then smirked and took out her PDA and clicked it with a plastic pen. "I'm assuming you are bringing Hermione as your date then?" asked Katie. Oliver said "of course!" and they walked away fast.

Callista came back from work. Percy still hadn't called her and now she's thinking he is just like any common guy who was in heat at one point and had a one night stand. She slumped on the sofa. She shouted "HERMIONE!.Moinee!...Mia?" and still no answer. She then took off her shoes and laid straight on the sofa. A rabbit then jumped on her tummy and settled there staring at her.
"What? I said I was sorry didn't I!" Callista said at the rabbit who took a step nearer to her face. "What?" she asked the rabbit again. The grey rabbit reached its head to her cheek and licked her cheek.
"Thanks" She said to the rabbit as she petted it. The rabbit was magical, it understood things ordinary rabbits didn't by it licking her cheek, it meant she was forgiven. Callista then took reached for the phone and checked the messages, finding where wasn't any she grunted in annoyance and then looked up the white ceiling. Soon she fell asleep with the rabbit burrowing just by her hair.

Hermione was looking at Oliver while they stacked the groceries into the cupboards of his house. "Herms…" started Oliver.
"Oh no it's ok…I understand…Don't worry."
"No no let me finish…I didn't plan to kiss you like that. I mean I haven't even asked you out yet and then look what I did"
"You want to ask me out?" Hermione asked as she had on her back at him while she poured the milk into the kitchen flask.
"Well yea!" Hermione gulped as Oliver answered. A little devil rose in her head dancing in delight saying "You gonna get laid!". Then an angel came about clunking the devil in the head with a hammer and dragged the devil away.
"Oh…." She said trying to control the excitement with in her.
"I'm sorry for earlier.."
"Which part?"
"The lying and the whole kiss thing…"
"The kiss was ok, the lying wasn't…"
"Oh.."
"Well you could make it not a lie you know"
"oh…"
"hmm?"
"Hermione would you like to go to the opening ball this Sunday? They have it every season for the international Quiddtich"
"Okay.."
