Harry and Ron's most awaited day was finally here. It was the day of the Hogwarts feast. The day that could possibly change their lives forever. The day where they could possibly find out who their mates where. The last hour had been spent showering, dressing up and making sure they looked their best and one could admit that they had done a good job. They were currently in the sitting room, with the rest of the Weasley's, listening to explain how they would proceed.

"We'll be using the Floo to get there. Fred, George, Bill, Charlie and Percy will meet us there. Harry and Ron, you two make sure your wings are seen by no one except your mates. That is if your mates happen to be there. Alright, me and Molly will go first, then Ginny, then Harry and finally you, Ron. Understood everyone. Follow our plans and everything will go smoothly. Let's go!"

One by one they all flooed to Hogwarts following 's instructions. They found in a gigantic room filled with fireplaces. On one side were the fireplaces being used to get in Hogwarts and on the other side were the fireplaces used to floo out of Hogwarts. Together, they walked towards the Great Hall, where the feast was taking place. As soon as they got in, Harry and Ron began to feel different and somehow they both knew that at least one of their mates was inside the Great Hall. After wishing luck to each other, Harry and Ron went their separate ways.

"Ron wasn't kidding when he said smell helps a veela find his mate", thought Harry. His nostrils were being invaded by the sweetest smell ever and he couldn't even describe the sweetness of it. Harry kept on following the smell…or trying to follow it. All of a sudden he found himself bumping head first into Bill Weasley, Ron's older brother. He was going to apologise and keep on searching for his mate when suddenly, with a shocked gasp, he realised that this scent was coming out of Bill Weasley himself. To his greatest relief, Bill didn't seem to have noticed his gasp.

"Sorry about that, Harry", Bill was saying. "I wasn't watching were I was going. Mum and Dad told me about what happened to you last week. I just wanted to let you know that I'm there for you if you ever need anything. Anyways, good luck finding your mate", he finished in a whisper before walking away. All Harry was thinking was, "I found one of my mates and it's my best friend's older brother". How was he going to tell Ron?

Ron wasn't having Harry's luck in finding his mates. Something was telling him that they weren't there. Just as he was about to give up hope Ron saw Oliver Wood making his way inside the Great Hall. All of a sudden Ron started to smell his most favourite smell in the whole world, chocolate chip cookies, and it was coming directly from Oliver Wood himself. Before Ron could think about who it was, he started running after Oliver desperate to be able to protect and love him.

That thought made Ron stop in his tracks. He couldn't just run up to Oliver and start blabbering about him being his mate. He would most probably scare him away. He had to take things slowly. First of all, he had to get to know him. Oliver had graduated from Hogwarts when he was just a third year and he had been more of Harry's friend than Ron's. Now was the chance to get to know him and get him to warm up to Ron.

Starting to move again at a slower pace, Ron made his way to Oliver. "Hey Oliver! Long time, no see right?" he said. Oliver smiled at him. "Hey there…Ron, right? I'm sure you're one of the Weasley's but I'm confused about which one. You're not one of the twins that's for sure." That made Ron stiffen. So he would recognise Fred and George but he didn't recognise him? Ron Weasley, Harry Potter's best friend, always by his side!

It wasn't a secret that Ron was the least successful out of all his brothers. Bill worked at Gringott's bank and earned quite a bit of money, Charlie trained dragons in Romania and was known worldwide and Fred and George owned their own joke shop in Diagon Alley which was now expanding to Hogsmead. All Ron was known for was for being Harry's sidekick. That was a very sore subject and to have his mate remind him of how unpopular he was was a low blow. He forced a smile on his face and answered Oliver as politely as he could. "Yes, I'm Ron. Good to see you again and hope you have a nice evening." With that, he nodded to Oliver politely and started making his way towards the drinks' table.

He was, however, stopped by Oliver's hand on his arm. "Ron! Wait! I meant no offense with my words and I'm sorry if that's what you thought. I got a bit confused about who you were from the Weasley clan and you can't exactly blame me. We weren't that close after all and you have really changed from the last time I saw you." Ron couldn't help but smile at this. Yes, he had changed thanks to his veela transformation but he wasn't about to tell Oliver that. It was time to go back to his original plan. GettoknowOliverWoodbetter.

"So…Oliver, what have you been up to?" he asked. Oliver smiled at him. "I have been playing Quidditch professionally and not as back-up anymore. I'm Puddlemore's United Keeper now." Ron smirked at this. "Puddlemore's United? Couldn't you find a better team like the Chudley Canons?" said Ron jokingly. Oliver laughed at this. "I take it you support the Chudley Canons?" he said with another laugh.

They spent the next half an hour like this. Lightly bantering between them about Quidditch and getting to know what the other has been up to lately, with Ron successfully managing to dodge the topic of his change in appearance. Drastic change in appearance.

Their chat was interrupted when the sound of a cell phone ringing was heard coming out of Oliver's coat pocket. Ron saw Oliver take out a modern muggle cell phone. "I had it installed with a micro-chip that keeps the cell phone working even inside Hogwarts. I'm going to have to take this. It's a business call", that said, Oliver walked away from Ron and out of the Great Hall only to be seen running back in minutes later.

He stopped besides Ron and started explaining. "The Keeper who was supposed to take my place tonight broke his leg. I'm going to have to leave and go play. Sorry about having to leave so abruptly…I was having fun", he said really sounding sad. "You wouldn't happen to have a muggle cell phone would you?" he asked Ron. Ron nodded. "I do but I don't use it much. Hermione bought it for me." He saw Oliver frown when he mentioned Hermione but Ron thought nothing of it.

"Let's switch numbers so we can keep in touch and maybe meet up sometime", suggested Oliver. Ron smiled and nodded. They switched numbers with promises of meeting again and Oliver left soon afterwards. Ron had been so busy talking to Oliver and enjoying himself that he forgot all about his second mate.
