Chapter 8 Slytherin vs. Ravenclaw

Oliver was at the pitch that night, he had occasion to sneak out of Hogwarts to go to the pitch. It helps him clear his head and only think about Quidditch. But he couldn't help but think of Cynthia and what she told Harry. She was going to be quitting the Quidditch team because she didn't want to deal with the drama between them anymore. Oliver whistle for his broom and it came to him. He climb on it and started to fly around, he was trying to clear his head. Once again, he thought about Cynthia and how they had became friends.

-Flash-

Cynthia was sitting in Potions, and she was trying to put her potion together. When Marcus Flint came by and switches one of her ingredients, causing her potion to start foaming dark blue. Oliver watched as Professor Snape, made an example out of Cynthia and take points away from Gryffindor.

Oliver had walked up to her after potions was done. "I saw what Flint did," Oliver told her.

"Yeah well, Snape will apparently never see it since Flint is one of his golden boys" Cynthia shrugged it off.

"Hi I'm Oliver Wood," he smiled.

"I'm Cynthia Annabel. Though I'm sure you heard Snape scream it enough today at me" Cynthia sighed.

"Don't worry, the day will get better" Oliver said.

"I guess. This definitely has to be the low point of the day right? I mean it can only go up from here" Cynthia smiled. "You're last name is Wood right?"

"Yeah" Oliver smiled.

"Are you related to Jacob Wood?" Cynthia asks him.

"How do you know my brother?"Oliver asks her.

"Well he is like one of the greatest players for Team Scotland" Cynthia smiled.

"You love Quidditch?" Oliver asks her.

"Yes, I can't wait to try out for the team here. I heard Charlie Weasley is captain. He is supposed to be amazing" Cynthia smiled.

"Well I am trying out also, what position?"

"Chaser. You?" "Keeper. You know if you want to practice we can some time." "Really! That sounds amazing! You think we would be able to practice even though we are first?"

"Yeah my brother spoke to Charlie. He said I could practice with anytime I wanted to. So you can join us" Oliver beamed.

"Oh wow! That is so cool. Did I mention to you yet that you are my hero?"

-End Flash-

Oliver started to regret everything he did. Cynthia kept her word to him. She would only be found in her room or the library when not in class. If she was in the library, Roger Davies would be with her at all times. So Oliver stayed away, it was for the best. When it came time to practice for Quidditch, Cynthia would speak to everything but Oliver.

Oliver kept everyone after Quidditch practice he told them he needed to talk to them. Oliver stood in front of his team, and look at them.

"Listen I know a lot has happen between the Hufflepuff win and now. Our team morale is down and I would love to change that," Oliver kept his light brown eyes focused on Cynthia. "So please understand me when I say this I don't want to lose anyone on this team. I would rather give up being captain."

"Wood please…" Cynthia said.

"I'm serious Cynthia. We need you as a chaser. If you leave the morale won't change, everyone will miss you, including me." Oliver told her, he saw look away.

Cynthia sighed and looks back at Oliver. She sighed once more and then gave a forced smile. "Alright I will stay!"

Oliver had Jennifer sit next to him in all the classes they had together. Oliver was regretting asking Jennifer to the dance, she was now always around him.

"So Oliver I was thinking that you should dress in the same color as my dress" Jennifer told him.

They were sitting in Herbology together, and Oliver was trying to pay attention and take some notes. He just looks at her talking, that was all Jennifer seem to do was talk. How did Cynthia handle sitting next to Jennifer all the time in classes.

"Why I'm just going to wear a tux isn't that good enough?" Oliver asks her.

"No Oliver…" "Don't call me Oliver."

Jennifer stop talking and she look at him, he had a stern face on. He wasn't happy that she obvisiously called him Oliver. Oliver only allowed certain people to call him Oliver. The Quidditch team, because George and Fred would always rag on him so he allowed them to call him Oliver. When Cynthia called him Oliver, it made his name special just like when his parents or brother call him since Cynthia was more like family. That was it…and Jennifer just realized.

"Why not Cynthia was able to call you Oliver with no problem?" Jennifer asks him.

"No one calls me Oliver anymore," Oliver said.

"Well I'm going to call you Oliver, if you accept me to go to the dance with you. We need to be on a first name bases." Jennifer told him.

"Well then I guess we aren't going together anymore to the dance" Oliver snapped back at her.

Cynthia looks up from her Herbology text when she heard Jennifer start to cry. A little smile came across her face and she couldn't help but giggle.

"Miss James is everything alright?" Professor Sprout asks her.

"No my life is ruin!" she cried some more.

It wasn't just Cynthia giggling to herself, some of the boys started to laugh. Oliver look behind him and he couldn't help but laugh with Cynthia. The next thing the Herbology class knew they were all laughing at Jennifer.

"Class! Please stop laughing at Miss James please!" Professor Sprout begged her class.

That Saturday, Cynthia sat with Erica and Brittany in the Great Hall for breakfast. They were laughing at the story Cynthia was telling them about Herbology and Jennifer's cry-fest.

"Are you serious? In the middle of Herbology? What did Professor Sprout do?" Erica asked.

"Yeah I'm very serious. Apparently Wood told her, he won't go to the dance with her anymore" Cynthia said, she was unsure herself.

"She must have done something really horrible to make Oliver snap like that" Brittany said.

"I don't know. They were sitting next to each other like always and the next thing I know Jennifer started to cry like her life is going to end" Cynthia said.

Then Erica and Brittany saw Roger walk up to Cynthia with a smirk on his face. He put his finger on his lips to let them know he wanted it a surprised. He then kissed her cheek. "Hey beautiful."

"Hello Roger" Cynthia said.

"Well I'm off to my locker room. I'll see you after the game?"He asked her.

"Yeah! I'll…I mean we'll be cheering for you all" Cynthia smiled.

Roger then leans down and kissed her on the lips and he pinched her cheek. "See you after."

The three girls were sitting in the bleachers when it decided to pour. There went the chance that they would go to Hogsmeade before it started to rain. The rain wasn't letting up and they were having a hard time trying to keep track of the players. They couldn't understand how Lee saw the game and was able to announce it.

Roger flew over the girls when he tried to avoid the bludger. He winked at Cynthia and return back to the game.

"It seems like Davies wanted to take a little break to say hi to his girlfriend Cynthia. He apparently thinks the game doesn't matter to him," Lee said.

Oliver saw Cynthia turn and giggle at Erica and Brittany. She couldn't believe he just did that.

"Show off!" Scott yelled at Oliver. Scott then pats Oliver on the back. "Don't worry, she'll tired of him and come back to you."

"Well I don't know about that," Oliver said.

"Dude Scott is totally true. I mean he is showing her all his moves now, he'll have nothing more left in a week" Justin said.

"If you guys say so" Oliver said. He couldn't help but look at Cynthia, Erica and Brittany as they cheered and jump for Roger Davies.

Ravenclaw won by a very thin line. Roger flew up to Cynthia after the game and let her climb on the back of his broom. Cynthia held on tight to Roger as he flew around the pitch.

"And Roger Davies decided to take his new girlfriend on his victory lap" Lee cheered in the microphone. They then stop by the goal post; Roger turned to her and made out with Cynthia. "And it looks like he was able to get a victory kiss from Cynthia Annabel!"

There were cheers and Oliver looked at Erica and Brittany. They both look at him sad; they then walked up to her.

"Don't worry Ollie. She hasn't mentioned anything about the two of them" Brittany said.

"Yeah, when you two are in the same room for more than two seconds all she talks about is you," Erica said.

"Thanks girls. But I'm just on the sidelines waiting for her to get rid of Davies" Oliver told them.

Cynthia was in the common room sitting by the fireplace trying to warm up before her trip to Hogsmeade. Oliver came walking in; he stopped and went to walk out.

"Wait Oliver…" And Oliver stops and turns back to her. "Why did you break up with Jennifer?"

"Well…we were never dating" he corrected her.

"Well I mean about the dance. I saw you two in Herbology. But I couldn't hear you guys" Cynthia said.

"She called me Oliver. I told her she wasn't allowed to call me Oliver. So she said that if she wasn't allowed to call me Oliver, then we couldn't go together" Oliver explained.

"Oh really? I thought it was something to deal with me" Cynthia said.

"Well sort of. I mean she brought you in to the conversation. She said you were able to call me Oliver why couldn't she. I told her that you don't call me Oliver anymore." Oliver stood there and smiled at Cynthia. "Well until today, just now you call me Oliver."

"Oh…I'm sorry Wood. I didn't mean it," Cynthia corrected herself.

"No! I really want you to call me Oliver again. I miss it so much," Oliver told her.

"I can't…Roger would be angry. I mean I would love to," Cynthia looked away from him.

"So do it. He can't be angry with you, we were friends first before any of this stuff happened" Oliver said.

"I'll think about it. I'll let you know. I promise you Ollie" Cynthia said, looking at him.

He smiled at her. "I'll leave you alone now. Have fun with Roger at Hogsmeade." Cynthia watched him walk away from her. She turned back to the fireplace and couldn't help but smile. She wonders if the smile could be due to her dating Roger or making up with Oliver.

Cynthia was sitting at Hog's Head with Roger. They both were drinking some butterbeer.

"That was an awesome game Roger, very close," Cynthia smiled.

"Yeah well, I'm glad that Cho got the snitch when she did" Roger said. "Did you see Oliver's face when I came and got you?"

"No," Cynthia answered him.

"He was so jealous. I think it is funny how when you're unavailable he knows notices you." Roger said.

"Well that's why Erica and Brittany talk to you about asking me out."

Roger stared at her with disbelief; he couldn't believe she knew about those two talking to him. "You know?"

"Yeah Brittany and Erica told me after the first fight me and Oliver had." Cynthia told him.

"You and Oliver, you are calling him Oliver again?" Roger asked.

"Yeah I am done being petty with him. We still have classes together and Quidditch," Cynthia said.

"I thought you said you were going to quit" Roger said confused.

"I can't…besides if I quit, what would the scouts think?" Cynthia asked him.

"You are still in love with Wood" Roger claimed.

"No. No I am not. I am with you Roger. Trust me," Cynthia told him.

"I do trust you" Roger then touch her hands. "I just don't trust Wood. He'll do anything to get you."

Cynthia forced a smile on her face. "Roger please don't worry. I am able to take care of myself. And I'm not going to stop dating you any time in the future."
