"Oliver! Oliver, why are you still asleep? Aren't you going to Hogsmead with us?" Katie Bell was knocking on the boys dorm door loudly. Her and Angelina Johnson were fully dressed and waiting outside the Gryffindor boys dorm for their Captain to answer.
Oliver still in his pyjama pants and his hair unbrushed opened the door to answer. Both girls' eyes opened wide.
"I'm sorry guys, but I'm going with someone else, so see ya around." Oliver muttered. He was going with Marcus Flint since the two really bonded last night. Bloody hell, they realised that they really weren't that different! But the prospect of telling his team mates of this still posed as a challenge so Oliver settled for 'someone'. Before the girls had the opportunity to inquire more Oliver shut the door, he knew his weakness' and lying was one.
Katie arched her eyebrow, "Does that mean our Captain got himself a date?"
"Well, I dont know. Anything is possible, I guess." Angelina shrugged. As intrigued as they were they decided that spying isn't nice. However they were slightly alarmed when they saw Marcus Flint just standing there on the edge of Gryffindor territory,looking smug as girls gave him identical death glares to which he smirked and bowed his head mockingly.
The very same morning in the Slytherin common room life was going as usual. Marcus sat by the fire with his hot coffee as students hurried in and out getting ready for Hogsmead. Nyx who during the night became determined to win Marcus over eyed him, building up confidence. Finally she strutted over and placed herself next to him on the leather couch.
"Marcus! I haven't seen you at all last night, what happened? You seem quiet..." she trilled.
"Im tired,Nyx, I've got in at 4 last night." he sipped his coffee.
"Oh,why?" Nyx inquired trying very hard to seem indifferent when she was pretty damn scared.
"Doesn't matter, isn't Daphne waiting for you to go to Hogsmead?" Marcus pointed to the side rather hurriedly. Completely disheartened Nyx brought out her last attempt.
"Do you want to go with us?" she half begged.
"Im sorry Nyx, but I have other arrangements." he declined. She must have made a pained expression since he felt obliged to hug her and so he did and caught Peregrines accusatory look, he hasn't heard what was known to Adrian then, but its probably better that way.
"Well, see ya later then, Marcus." she sniffed and hurried out. Peregrine took her place on the couch.
"Bloody hell mate, why are you so mean to the poor girl? You know she fancies you!" Peregrine hissed. "What is this mystery other arrangements anyway?"
"Peregrine, please, keep Nyx away from me if you're so concerned. And I'm not telling you, you wont believe me anyway. And no, I'm not seeing anyone,OK?"
Marcus sputtered and walked out without a look back.
"Marcus!" Oliver ran to the Slytherin who was leaning against the wall but when several people turned around and gave him weird looks he tried to hide his excitement. "Uh,so Flint are you ready?"
Marcus chuckled, "Yeah, come on Wood."
They were still getting weird looks from passing Gryffindors which made Oliver blush. Seeing that blush amused Marcus so he put his arm around Olivers shoulders in a very sensual motion, which made Oliver and most females present red. Marcus chuckled again.
"Marcus! What kind of gossip are you trying to start?" Oliver stammered but didn't try to push Marcus away.
" Relax, at least you won't be a rumoured virgin anymore." Marcus pointed out quietly.
" Marcus, think for once, what will your friends say?" Oliver tried to reason.
"The question,dear Oliver is: what do they already say?" Marcus laughed.
"Well, I'm pretty sure chatting up Oliver Wood is too wild even for Slytherin imagination." Oliver disagreed, he noticed how they were talking as if they were courting each other. What a strange development to whatever it is they had. But he liked the way it was going.
"No, believe me it's not too crazy, they thought I shagged Cho Chang last night!" Marcus grinned.
"But at least Cho is a girl." Oliver smirked.
" Here's some trivia for you,Oliver. I don't have a problem with boys,whatsoever." Marcus spoke quietly leaning in towards Olivers ear.
"Now we're getting somewhere however, I dont envy you, what will you get in Slytherin once they hear about this..." Oliver started suggestively then he pulled Marcus to the wall and hungrily pressed his lips against Marcus'. Marcus had exactly two seconds to analyse what Oliver said and understand that he was indeed right but at this very moment, Marcus didn't give a shit about that, with his back firmly against the wall and Olivers body so very close it was impossible to resist so he grabbed Olivers head and kissed him back passionately. Behind them they could hear a few gasps. After a good minute of snogging Oliver pulled back, he was smirking. Gryffindors smirking is a rather attractive rarity.
"Seriously, you do know what shit this will get us into?" Oliver looked him dead in the eyes.
" Yeah, I bloody figured. But if you're still in then I'm still in." Marcus smirked.
" You are fucking crazy and I am going crazy too. Oh and I think privacy wouldn't hurt, well, you know, for next time." Oliver blushed once again. This boy was so funny, he went from blushing to bluntly snogging his enemy in a school corridor then to blushing again, so impulsive.
So it was about time they left the now infamous corridor and got to Hogsmead to see just how bad of an uproar they caused.
"No way! No fucking way!" Nyx was starting to sob. Miles,Adrian,Peregrine,Daphne,Graham and Nyx were all around a dark corner table. It was very awkward as everyone have just heard the scandalous news.
"Sorry babe, but Pansy Parkinson saw it with her own eyes." Daphne hugged Nyx tightly.
"But we all know Marcus hates Wood, so how is that possible?" she insisted taking a large gulp out of her bottle of Butterbeer.
"Well,Wood is kind of hot" they heard a voice from behind them. It was said completely seriously so with a sigh they turned around. The equally grim Gryffindors Angelina,Katie,Alicia,Fred and George were behind them.
"You heard?" Adrian frowned.
"Yeah." Angelina sighed.
"Sit down, I think we need to talk." Miles mumbled, the table was luckily big enough for both teams more or less, since special little Malfoy was out with Parkinson somewhere.
"So what do you reckon we should do?" Angelina Johnson asked once everyone settled.
" You need to know one thing about Flint. If he is dead set on this, he wont let go. In fact, he will use reverse psychology,I bet." Graham Montague responded.
"But are we sure they weren't drunk?" Alicia Spinnet pleaded.
" We can never know but drunk on what? We last saw Marcus with coffee and that was only like five minutes before the...event." Peregrine remarked.
"According to eyewitness' it wasn't Flint who started the snogging business." Fred reported. The Weasley Twins were torn between whether they should laugh their asses off or be horrified like everyone else.
"Oh my, are you discussing your faggot Captains?" Roger Davis,the Ravenclaw captain sneered at them.
"SUCK MY LEFT ONE!" Angelina growled, and to the surprise and delight of all, flashed her left breast. Angelina was so protective of Wood for some reason but this definitely shut Roger up.
"Thank you for that,Johnson, and Davis aren't you Ravenclaws like smart and all?I question it now since you are acting like an ignorant piss-head." Miles leaned over the table threateningly.
" But your Captains are fucking homos!" Davis shrieked "If I were you, I'd get new, normal players!"
"Get your homophobic ass out of here,Davis! Both of them are fucking normal and better players then you'll ever be." Graham Montague boomed.
"Ha, I don't envy you. How do you know they aren't crazy? They're not acting natural so I'd highten my fucking guard." Davis sneered.
"Look here, told you to fuck off so why not be a good little bitch and fuck off until we beat you black and blue?" George commanded. And seeing his battle lost Davis retreated.
"Guys, I think I understood something... we can't control what our Captains do and we shouldn't control them anyway. Besides it may be a passing fancy... " Nyx who has been quiet for a while pipped up.
"Yeah, fuck it, as long as they don't do anymore school corridor snogging sessions, let them be." George concluded.
"Butterbeers?" Adrian proposed. He had considered that they weren't acting at all like the mortal enemies that they were but it didn't matter now. They will have to handle a school scandal shoulder to shoulder with these people.
Would you look at me, I promised myself not to rush into things but I guess I, like Marcus, didn't give a shit anymore, I just needed that kiss to happen and I guess they will now have to pay for my impulsivness! Good luck Oli and Marc!
Thanks to the two lovely people who follow my story! You rushed in and saved this stories ass since I was about to drop it :P
