A/N: thanks a BUNCH to Quill Pen and Ink for reviewing the last chapter! YAY! WoOt! Oh, and just so you know i was planning to have this be, at the most 15 chapters, i'm actually hoping for around 10 or 12, but hey, i'm giving myself some extra room just incase. so- enjoy this chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything reconizeable (from outside this story) so you can't sue me! HAHA!
The Last Line of the Last Chapter:
"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.

Oliver and Bumbery kept avoiding each other for the rest of the day. Their confrontation in the morning had been the last that they had seen of each other.
Meanwhile the others had spent their day planning the perfect way to get the two together. There were many topics discussed, including; a romantic date, locking them in a room together, convincing them the other is dead, using the "Much Ado About Nothing" way, something with pen pals, veriterserum, mistletoe, fake love notes, and many other things. Surprisingly during the whole planning process, Lee said almost absolutely nothing.
Of course, Charlotte spent her day mostly thinking about her job opportunity, if she wanted to do that job or not, and if she could handle her job if Oliver also worked there. The strange thing was, she almost completely forgot that she should probably tell Oliver that a job had been offered to him, but of course she was too lost in her own thoughts to remember.

(An Excerpt from Charlotte Bumbery's Diary)
Diary,
I know I haven't written in you for a long time, (Five Years is it?) But I have some very important news. WELL, remember when I had the crush on Oliver in second year? Well it turns out I still like him. UGH! WHY is my life so complicated? He probably doesn't even feel anything for me. UGH. I hate, absolutely HATE unrequited love. AND, just to top off this cake of disaster, I may have to work with him, if we both except the jobs offered to us by Dumbledore. Oh WAIT! SHIT! I forgot to tell Oliver that he was offered a job! SHIT SHIT SHI-Taki mushrooms! (sorry, a first year looked over my shoulder…)
Gotta go tell Ollie,
Charlotte .

Charlotte skidded to a halt in the halway, spotting Oliver. "Oliver!" She squeaked.
"Erm, yeah?" He looked back and spotted her.
"Well," she said panting, "Professor Dumbledore (huff) asked me to tell you (puff) that he is offering (deep breath) you a job," she finished, finally, looking up and smiling at him.
"Really? But what about my quidditch career?"
"Well, the job he offered you, is part time at first, he wants you to slowly replace Madam Hooch."
"Oh. But wait, why did he tell you?"
"Well, remember when I said I had to go see him?"
"Er, yeah."
"That was to ask him why he was allowing us to stay here."
"And?"
"He said he was offering us jobs."
"Wait, us?"
"Yeah, I'm going to run this special 'Study Abroad' program."
"Oh."
"Well, see you later," she quickly turned around and ran back up the stairs.

(Bumbery's POV)
AH! FUCK! I told him about Alby offering me a job too, now he won't take the job, AND I'll never see him again….
