A/N: AWW! I feel so loved. thankies for the reviews everyone! I'm trying my best to keep updating the story regularly.
Nike: No, Bumbery isn't a metamorphagus, like Tonks, she just magically dies her hair, as seen in this chapter.
As I was writing this chapter I was drinking my favorite drink, Fuze Fruit Punch, when suddenly there wasn't anymore- I was crushed, looked into the bottle and asked, "But WHY is the Fuze gone?". Sorry ya'll had to hear that story, but I was very depressed.
In this chapter, it switches POV's a lot, when it is in a character's POV (ex: Bumbery's POV or Oliver's POV) it is in the 1st person present tense, otherwise it is the third person past tense. WARNING! This story is about to become a romance, a very crappy one but still, i hope to keep the humor. (--sigh--) it's hard out here for a authoress...
DISCLAIMER: I own no part of Harry Potter, I don't own romance or any other genre, or any other reconizeable thing in this chapter.
The Last Line of the Last Chapter:
"No reason, except you two seemed pretty cozy," George nodded. Then the twins stood up and left, leaving Oliver alone with his thoughts.
---------------------------
Oliver had not moved since the twins left him, he just sat there, wondering, Is it that obvious that I more than like her? I mean, she's been one of my closest friends and I don't want to ruin our friendship with this- I just wish I knew how she felt….
- - -
Bumbery lay awake in her bed, replaying the kiss over and over in her head, This kiss was so different from the others I've had, she thought, yeah I've been kissed before but this was so- NO! I will not- I repeat not think about Ollie- I mean Trish in that way, no I can not, it'll be too awkward….
- - -
The next morning, Bumbery got up, after getting about a half-hour's worth of sleep. She stretched and yawned. Then moved over to the mirror, she could be heard muttering a spell, then her hair was magically a vibrant green. She then got dressed and walked down to the common room, where she saw the last person she wanted to see then, Oliver.

(Bumbery's POV)
Oh FUCK! WHY do I have to see Ollie on a day when I look like SUCH CRAP? Oh fuck, shit, he's turning around to look at me- shit look like you're doing something important and can't be interrupted girl- ah-ha read the book right next to you.
I quickly pick up the closest book to me, luckily it is the one I got Alice, The Princess Bride, an easy book to get lost in. I open it to the page when Westly and Buttercup are in the fire swamp and start reading when-
"Hey Bumbs," Oliver says, oh god his voice is so sexy, even if he looks like he hasn't slept a wink.
"What's up Trish?" I say nonchalantly, Good he doesn't know what you were just thinking, that's good keep it casual-
"Nothing much, where are you headed?" OH FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK! Shit think of somewhere to go where he won't want to follow you, the bathroom- no he'll just wait outside of it for me, oh wait I got it-
"I'm headed to Dumbledore's office, official stuff like that, you know…"
"Oh, okay then, see you later," Smooth Charlotte, now you actually have to go to Dumbledore's office, and talk to him for no apparent reason, oh god I hope he won't be ticked off….
- - -
(Oliver's POV)
Oh god, her hair looks really good green. Shit I got to stop staring at her hips- but they're so mesmerizing- anyway, I wonder why she really needs to go to Dumbledore's office, she did nothing wrong, that I know of. I guess I should go down to breakfast then, oh GOD I am so tired, I should have slept last night….

(Normal POV)
Dumbledore sat in his office playing with his Newton's Cradle and Rubix Cube, when he heard a nock on his door. He shuffled around some papers and magazines then said, "You may enter."
He was greeted by our heroine who looked very disgruntled. The headmaster gently put down the Rubix Cube.
"Ah, sorry to interrupt," she was staring down at her shoes, "But I was wondering-"
"Why I'm letting you stay here," Dumbledore finished her sentence, and Bumbery looked shocked.
"How did you-"
"I know many things Ms. Bumbery," Dumbledore smiled, eyes twinkling.
"So, why are you letting me and Oliver stay here?"
"Ah, that is a good question, the answer is, you are both useful."
"How?"
"Well, Madam Hooch was thinking of retiring in a few years, and she wanted to have the students get used to the new teacher before she left."
"Oh, so you want Oliver to replace Madam Hooch? But what about his quidditch career?"
"Well, that is for him to decide, in the beginning it would only be part-time stuff, for example, refereeing a game or two a year."
"Oh," at this Dumbledore smiled, she cares so much about others, it's sweet, he thought.
"You are probably wondering, 'what about me? Why are you letting me stay too?' am I right?" Bumbery nodded, "Well, we were thinking about offering courses about different magic schools, along with programs for students to study abroad."
"Really?"
"Yes, Ms. Bumbery, and we would be delighted if you would help us organize it."
"I would love to Professor Dumbledore."
"Call me Alby, you know you want to."
"Heh, thanks Alby," Bumbery smiled, so this day isn't going to suck that much after all, she thought.

The two unknowing love birds walked their separate paths when the other ten characters in our story met in the common room, and sat down in a circle, similar to the one they sat in last night, but today it served a different purpose.
"Alright, just to clarify, did everyone see something more than a dare to Bumbery and Oliver's kiss last night?" Fred asked.
The group nodded, then Alicia spoke, "Of course they're both probably so thick that they can't realize that they're both into each other."
Katie rolled her eyes, "My cousin may be a smart, but she's so dumb concerning her love-life."
"Yeah and Oliver didn't even realize when Katie and Alicia both had crushes on him in his fourth year," Angelina said smugly.
"Wait- You liked OLIVER?" George rounded on Alicia.
"Well now is not the time to discuss that- we have an important mission," Katie said, then turning her voice to a whisper, "We have to figure out a way to get Bumbery and Oliver together."
"We could just write them a note saying; 'Just snog already'," suggested Ron, shrugging.
"No, that's stupid, and anyway they already snogged," Hermione said rolling her eyes at Ron's stupidity.
"We could lock them in a room, and not let them out until they tell each other how they feel?" Harry proposed.
"I don't know, I don't think we should force them into a relationship," Angelina said, receiving many arched eyebrows from the others.
"We could tell them that the other is dead. Then, once they realize how much they loved the other, we could reunite them," Katie said.
"Or, we could just leave them on a romantic date, and let it happen naturally," Hermione reasoned.
"That could work," Fred said.
"Oh my gosh! He speaks!" Angelina said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"I think we should go all 'Much Ado About Nothing' on their asses. You know, when Bumbs is in hearing distance, say stuff about how in love Oliver is with her, and vice or versa," Alicia said smirking.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter, please tell me what you think. Oh, and if you review, tell me which way you think would be best to get Oliver and Bumbery together. Do you agree with Angelina, or are you siding with Hermione? Are you wishing for the simple way out, like Ron, or are you suggesting something clichéd like Harry? Are you agreeing just to say something, or do you want me to go all Much Ado About Nothing on their asses, or last but not least, are you saying nothing, like Lee? If you have any suggestions on how the two characters should get together, mention it in your review, I will take all ideas into consideration, so press the button and tell me what you think.
