After a quick stop at Madam Malkin's, Oliver took Harry by the hand and the two Apparated out of Diagon Alley (and England!).
Oliver landed on his feet while Harry landed flat on his bottom.
"Oliver?"
""
"Wood!"
"Hmm?"
"What did you do?"
"Look ahead of you"
A large banner with "1997 Quidditch World Cup-Athens, Greece" was hanging from a distance,
"You di…"
"I got them because I can't play for England this year. I had them and I knew you would appreciate them as much as I am going to, if not more!"
"So is this a date?" asked Harry.
"Potter are you serious?"
Harry looked crestfallen. But Oliver ruffled his hair and gave his trademark smile and all was well.
"How's Puddlemere and England? I haven't paid much attention."
"We won the league last year. England lost against Scotland last year. Ironic eh? And England fell apart before quarter finals without me to France."
"Oh."
"Don't worry. I can't play for a while anyway. Stupid Montague. Just this past season he shattered my left arm and right knee. I was trying the Starfish and Stick. It worked and he was furious. He grabbed one of the Falcon's beaters' bats and hurled both bludgers at me. I narrowly missed the one for my head but the second ricocheted off my knee to my arm."
"How did I not hear about this?"
"It was a scrimmage to determine the National Team. If it wasn't for Flint I would be dead."
"What?"
'Note to self, must pay Flint handsomely for saving my hero!"
"So…"
"Flint is good looking now. Puberty hit him fairly late. That and Katie removed most of Montague's hexes off Flint's face. Montague got a whole bunch of fines and barred from the rest of the season. It doesn't look good on my part. I've shattered my right knee so many times that St. Mungo's told me sooner or later it will be beyond repair.
"Oh Oliver…"
"Don't worry. Quidditch ISN'T everything!"
"What!"
"Let's Hurry. The first match is about to start.
