Chapter 7
Olivia came out of the bathroom wearing Wen's T-shirt feeling quite odd wearing it. It was comfortable, but strange. She headed back into the kitchen.
"Hey," she said softly to Wen, Hermione, Ron and Georgie who were now sitting around the table eating cupcakes.
"Hey," they replied, Georgie's voice ringing out the loudest.
"Livy! Why are you wearing my brother's shirt? You're going to get his cooties all over you!"
Olivia laughed a little, "I am, aren't I?"
"Yeah, you are. But, don't worry; I'll protect you with my magic cupcakes! Eat one with the butterfly sprinkles and all the cooties will disappear!"
"Hey!" Wen interjected, "I have no cooties, whatsoever."
"That's what you think," Georgie said, giving Wen a pointed look.
She ran over to the plate of cupcakes and handed her a chocolate cupcake covered with rainbow butterfly sprinkles. Olivia took a bite.
"Thank you for saving me, Georgie!" Olivia said, giving her a hug.
"You're welcome," Georgie said, "but you owe me."
"What do I owe you?" Olivia asked, following Georgie to the table. She took a seat by Wen.
"I want you to sing that song again!"
"What song?" Hermione asked.
"The song she and Wen were singing earlier," Georgie explained, swiping some icing of her cupcake with her finger.
Hermione gave a look to Olivia who just tucked a hair behind her ear and continued eating her cupcake.
"Can I hear this song?" Hermione asked.
"Of course!" Georgie said, excitedly, "They have to do it because she owes me because I saved her from Wen's cooties! Eat your cupcakes fast so we can go to the piano! Hurry, eat, eat, eat!"
Georgie shoved the rest of her cupcake in her mouth and hopped around the table, flapping her arms, trying to hurry the others up.
"Georgie, calm down," Wen told his little sister, trying to grab her arm as she passed by.
"Maybe she ate too many cupcakes?" Ron brought up.
Hermione gave him a look, "You think?"
"Probably," Wen said.
"Well," Georgie huffed, crossing her arms, "If you all just hurried up, maybe I wouldn't be so crazy."
"Fine, we're coming," Wen stood up from the table and headed to the piano room. Georgie, Ron, Hermione, and Olivia followed after him. Wen took a seat at the piano bench and motioned for Olivia to stand beside him.
"We wrote this earlier," Olivia explained. "I was doing some song writing last night, and so was Wen apparently. So, we put my lyrics with his music and they just happened to fit perfectly."
"Like you two do," Hermione muttered under her breath. Ron nudged her and gave her a look. She gave him a half smile and shrugged.
Wen began playing the song on the piano and Olivia sang Somebody.
When she finished, Georgie hopped up and down shouting, "Bravo! Bravo! You have a pretty voice, Livy!"
"Thank you," Olivia blushed.
Ron and Hermione stood there speechless.
"Oh my," Hermione stated, "That was amazing. You both came up with that?"
Wen and Olivia nodded.
"You guys have talent. It's a gift! Olivia, I didn't know you could sing!"
"Well…I dabble…and I had an issue in first grade…that Wen knows about…"
Wen struggled to hold back a laugh, "What, it was a little funny!"
Olivia sighed, "I guess it was."
"You guys were fantastic," Ron complimented.
"Thanks," Wen said. Olivia just nodded.
"Well then…" Hermione said, breaking the silence, "Um Olivia? Your Gram wants you home soon."
Olivia straightened a little, "Oh, I should probably go."
"We'll all walk you home," Hermione said.
"Can I come?" Georgie piped up.
Wen looked at her and fell for her puppy dog face, "Fine."
"Yay!" she grabbed Wen and Olivia's hands on either side of her and they headed outside of Wen's house. Ron and Hermione followed behind, talking.
A butterfly flew past Wen, Georgie and Olivia. Georgie saw it, pushed Wen and Olivia's hands together, and followed it up ahead.
She wasn't too far ahead of them, only a foot away, so Wen didn't say anything. But, Olivia's and Wen's hands were both lightly intertwined. They both knew it, but neither wanted to bring it up or let go of the other's hand because of how right it felt.
Ron and Hermione noticed Wen and Olivia's hands.
"They are holding hands," Ron whispered to Hermione.
"Yes, I can see that Ron," Hermione said sarcastically.
"Do they not notice or something?"
Hermione shook her head, Ron knew absolutely nothing about love, "Okay, Ron, they definitely know that they're holding each other's hands. How could they not? Can't you feel this?"
Hermione slid her hand into Ron's and suddenly they both felt a jolt of electricity shoot up their arms. Now both of their faces were red.
"Yeah," Ron said, "I can feel it. But, we talked about it before you did that. Their handholding was accidental."
"Hmm," Hermione said. The two kept on walking, without dropping each other's hand, even after Hermione's demonstration.
They walked all the way to Olivia's house and knocked on the door.
"Olivia!" Gram appeared in the doorway and pulled Olivia in for a hug, "Where were you? I was worried when Hermione and Ron came over here to look for you. I assumed you were with them."
"No, I was with Wen. They went out to run errands," Olivia looked at Wen.
"Nice to meet you, Wen," Gram said to him. Wen slipped his hand out of Olivia's and shook her hand.
"Hi, nice to meet you, too, sorry that you were worried about Olivia," Wen apologized, "We'll let you know next time."
"Its fine," Olivia's Gram smiled at the boy.
"Hi, I'm Georgie!" Georgie piped up next to the two of them.
Gram looked down, "Oh, hello there. I didn't see you. It's nice to meet you. I'm Olivia's grandmother."
Georgie just smiled.
Ron and Hermione came up the driveway, as well. They had been a few feet away from the three so it had taken longer for them to arrive.
"Hello again," Hermione greeted and Ron smiled and lifted his hand in a wave, as well.
"Hi, thank you for telling Olivia. And, thank you all for walking her back here."
"It's no problem. But, we should probably be walking back again before my mom worries," Hermione said.
"Well, have a safe walk, dears," Gram said to them.
Olivia and Gram stepped inside the house and Wen, Georgie, Ron and Hermione headed back home.
