From miserable to Spectacular
Chapter 5: Head on Collision
Oliver and Charlie entered the burrow with two boxes in there hands each. They walked into the kitchen to see Mr. and Mrs. Weasley at the kitchen table with some men. They were looking over papers of the house.
"Come on Wood, lets go put the boxes in the room, and then we can come and see what they're talking about," Charlie said. Oliver agreed and the two walked up the stairs to the room that they were sharing.
"Are those the renovators you think?" Oliver asked Charlie. Charlie set his box down. "Yuh, I think probably, I mean they had the house plans spread across the table so most likely yuh," he said. The Two took a seat on the bed for a minute re-catching there breaths.
"Who knew someone like you could have so much stuff, Oliver," Charlie said. Oliver gave Charlie a weird look and smiled. "Well what can I say, I have a lot of stuff," he said. The two giggled and decided to go back downstairs and help Mr. and Mrs. Weasley with the plans.
When they got downstairs the two men and Arthur and Molly Weasley were still there talking away and pointing at things on the papers. "Mum, Oliver and I wanted to know if you need some help," Charlie said upon entering the room. Mrs. Weasley looked up from the papers and smiled. "How was cleaning out your house Oliver? Did everything go smoothly?" she asked.
He gave a satisfied face and shook his head yes. "It went as well as could be expected," he said. Mrs. Weasley's smile widened. "Good, now we were just discussing with these men how much we wanted to expand the house, Oliver, can you come take a look?" she asked.
Oliver followed close behind by Charlie, walked over to the table and took seats next to each other. Oliver looked over the plans. There looked to be two extra rooms that would be connecting to the kitchen along with another staircase, and two rooms on the top of that. There was also an extra bathroom.
"Looks good Mrs. Weasley and if I may add that you have plenty of space in the back yard, and if yas don't mine I was wondering if I could get a miniature quiditch pitch out there," he said. Mr. Weasley looked up from the plans. "Oliver you may do as you please," he said.
The renovators took rapid notes, and closed the floor plans after a while more of talking. "That will be 45 galleons, 14 sickles, and 8 knuts," one of the men said. Oliver ran quickly back upstairs. He took some money out of a pouch he had hidden in one of his robes. Then he quickly ran back downstairs.
"Here you go, sir, and when shall you be starting?" he questioned. The two men looked at each as if asking themselves when they'd start. "Well if tomorrow is alright then we can start then." The Weasley's and Oliver agreed, and so it was settled that they would start tomorrow.
The four of them watched as the two men disaperated from the house. "I'll start cooking dinner now. Oh Charlie and Oliver, Ginny and Ron are outside de-gnoming the garden, will you do me a favor and tell them they can stop?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
As the two grown men started to walk towards the back yard Fred and George entered through the front door. "After noon mum, great day today," One of them said. They wasted no more time talking and instead headed upstairs and to there room.
"Those two are very odd," Oliver said on the way to the backyard. "Err, yah I suppose so, they are pretty smart though, making some of those jokes and stuff requires some complicated spells and charms," Charlie said. They reached the backyard and saw that Ginny and Ron were no longer de-gnoming the garden, but in the air playing some quiditch.
"Blimey, Ron, Ginny what der ya think yer doing aye mates?" Charlie asked. Ron and Ginny flew down and just stared at the two intently. The two shrugged there shoulders at Charlie's question, and started to smile.
"Aye, Ron I think Fred and George wanted me to help yer on your keeper training," Oliver said. Ron blushed and turned a deep shade of scarlet. At that time Fred and George came out. "What have we got here? A game of quiditch do we?" they asked. Oliver was about to say that they were misunderstanding the scene, but Charlie was too quick.
"Yuh, thas right. Three on Three. Ron, George, and myself, against Ginny, Fred, And Oliver," he said. Oliver thought it would be fun, and looking around apparently so did everyone else. They all took a broom out (Oliver went upstairs and grabbed his firebolt), and soon mounted there brooms. They were playing with out a snitch for no one had one.
Ron was the keeper, George beater, and Charlie was a chaser. On the other team Ginny was a Chaser, Fred beater, and Oliver was the keeper. They all played to there hearts content. It was 70-10 when Mrs. Weasley called everyone in for dinner.
"Great game Fred, Ginny" Oliver said. Ron looked miserable as he had not saved one shot Ginny had taken. As everyone seated themselves Oliver took Ron aside. "Ron, you're the Gryffindor keeper, and as my successor I find I'm obligated to give you some keeper training," he said. A smile shot off in Ron's face. "Really?" he asked. Oliver shook his head. "Yah, once a week while we're at school, but o' course you need to keep the grades up," he said winking. Ron smile widened as he shook his head.
Then the two sat themselves down at the dinner table. Half way through dinner, the front door busted open. "Mum, Dad sorry I'm late, I tried to get home, but the... well you know why," came the voice of none other then Bill. He shut the door with a loud boom and took a seat next to his father. "Eat up, Bill you can talk to us later in private," Mrs. Weasley said.
"Was it work for the Order?" Ron asked curiously. "That is none of your buissness," Bill said. He put some food on his plate and started to eat to his hearts content. "I forgot to tell you all, we'll be going to Grimmauld place tomorrow, and staying there until our renovations are complete.
"Renovations?" Bill asked looking confused. "Bill, you remember Oliver Wood, our quiditch captain, we saw him at the world cup, well he's going to live with us for awhile, and he's offered to pay for renovations on the house," George said. Bill took a better look at Oliver, and then it clicked. "Oh, right right, Oliver Wood, you were the only other boy in Percy's year right?" he asked. Oliver shook his head.
"Percy, my dear Percy," Mrs. Weasley started to cry. "Damnit! Mum I'm sorry I didn't mean to," Bill started. The wailing soon became too much and Mrs. Weasley fled from the room. Mr. Weasley looking concerned for his wife made his way after her. Bill started to stand up, but Charlie stopped him. "No, Bill let mum and Dad talk for a bit," he said.
The rest of the dinner went by relatively smoothly. "So why else are we going to Grimmauld place?" Ron asked feeling as if the conversation was not yet over. Mrs. Weasley entered back into the room, her face red from crying and her eyes swollen. "Harry's 16th birthday. Dumbledore has elected to throw him a surprise party. He is sending Moody, Kingsley, Sturgis, Lupin, and some others to pick him up in a few days, and he has invited all his friends from school," she said.
"A surprise party?" Ron asked his eyes becoming huge. "But what if he doesn't want one, what if he's still upset about Sirius?" Ginny asked. Oliver's eyes became almost as huge as Ron's. "Sirius? Sirius Black? Why would Harry be upset, Black tried to kill him in his third year! Has he gone mad?" he asked.
The Weasley's all explained to Oliver that Black was innocent and how he died in the battle at the department of mysteries last year, right before the end of term. After dinner Oliver and Charlie went up to there room, and went to sleep.
The next few days went by fast. The Weasley's and Oliver all floo'd and apperated to Grimmauld place. They all became situated and comfortable. Oliver, Bill, and Charlie all shared a room near the second floor landing where Sirius' mother's portrait used to be.
The day of Harry's surprise party the Weasley's and Oliver started to set up. While Charlie and Oliver were carrying food from the kitchen to the living room, Charlie brought up the fact that Oliver had admitted to fancying Bell.
"So, Wood, you still wouldn't mind Bell?" Charlie asked. Oliver shrugged his shoulders. "Of course I wouldn't mind seeing her, but she would never go for me. She was always telling me how I was too serious about quiditch for my own good," he said getting a little bit down on himself.
"Oh, well what would happen if you saw her again, I mean would you talk to her?" Charlie asked, as they were walking back to the kitchen to get more food. Again Oliver shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know what would happen, and why are you asking me all these stupid questions? Do you know something I don't?" he asked.
Charlie let on a smile. "Of course…. Not." Oliver shook his head. "And of course that means you know something. Tell me!" he demanded. Charlie set down the food he was carrying and put his to hands in the air. "I'm innocent, it's not me you should be talking to, its Fred and George, I just accidentally told them they were right in thinking you fancied Bell."
Oliver ran out of the room looking for Fred and George. He wanted to know what they had done with the information that he had fancied bell. "I only used to fancy her, back when I was a boy, not anymore," he said trying to convince himself more then anyone else.
He found the twins in there bedroom, papers sprawled across the bed. "What have you two done with the classified information that I fancied Bell?" he asked with a murderous look in his eyes. The twins seeing the murderous look in Wood's eyes tensed up.
"Well, Ollie, to tell you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, Fred here is going out with Alicia. And I'm going out with Angelina, Secretly of course, because no one knows except me and well now you," George started. Oliver shook his head "Go on…"
"Okay, well… We were in charge of inviting all of Harry's old school friends, and we invited Alicia and Angelina. We haven't talked to Bell since we left school though," Fred said. "And what did you to do?"
The two flaming red heads let out a loud sigh. "Well… we asked Alicia and Angelina to invite Katie, if they talked to her. Don't worry Ollie she probably won't even show up!" George said seeing the look of concern in his eyes.
"She better not, or I'll have both your arses," he said. Fred looked at Oliver weird. "Why wouldn't you want her here, I mean if you fancy her don't you want her to know?" he asked. "Absolutely NOT!" he yelled.
They had no more time to argue about the situation. Bill came into the room and said that the guests had started to arrive. The three boys walked out of the room with Bill. Oliver kept sending death threats towards the twins.
They all got to the stairway that leads down to the living room. There Oliver saw her. Along side, Alicia and Angelina was the prettiest girl he'd ever seen. The twins let out a short laugh which was stopped by a sharp nudge by Oliver in there ribs.
As he got down to there stairs, the twins walked up to Alicia and Angelina hugging them. Bill had left and so Oliver was stranded unable to go anywhere. He felt as if he was going into a head on Collision, with the girl he fancied. It only spelled disaster. "Oliver, oh my gosh, I would have never thought to see you here!" Katie said noticing Oliver.
Oliver Smiled and a light pink color started to show on his cheeks. "Katie, I haven't seen you in a long time," he said. It was the only thing that he could think of that would not make him seem stupid.
Katie came over to him and engulfed him in a hug.
"I'm in heaven!" Oliver said out loud, not on purpose. "Huh?" Katie asked sounding semi-confused. "Nothing, it was nothing, its good to see you again Katie, I need to go help in the kitchens, hope to see you again soon," he said wishing her farewell.
He quickly walked off. 'How shall I kill those Weasley twins' he asked himself. He walked into the kitchens and took a seat at the table. He put his head down and fell asleep soundly.
