Expectations of Approval

Chapter Seven: Anne Hunter

"Anne Hunter she's my . . . I guess you would call it, childhood friend. We've know each other since we were 9." Oliver said, shrugging. "She's also a chaser in the Ravenclaw Quidditch team"

As Oliver spoke Anne looked Percy over with cold eyes "Nice to meet you, I've heard a lot about you"

"Have you? I can't say I've heard anything about you" Percy said in his normal cool demeanor, he didn't want to get Oliver angry but he didn't like Anne and he knew she felt the same way. Oliver noticed the switch in Percy's voice, he also noticed Anne's behavior toward Percy. "Well, as I was saying, I'm sorry Anne but I'm busy right now. I need to get this fellow here out to of the library so he can finally get some fresh air and then I plan to knock some sense into him, I'll talk to you later" Oliver told Anne as he grab Percy's writ and swiftly dragged him out if the library.

"But Ol I need to talk to you" Said Anne as she started to follow them.

"If it can't wait, then tell me right now"

"But it's ..." Anne looked over at Percy "privet"

"Well,I'm sorry" Oliver told Anne as let go of Percy's wrist opting to put his arm around Percy's shoulders and then he quickened his pace, "But this is very important, it concerns my good friends future. We'll talk tomorrow I'm sure it can wait that long"

"No, at dinner"

Oliver sighed. "Fine, aright dinner it is"

"It's a date then?"

"Huh? . . . sure"

Anne stopped walking and watched as Oliver dragged Percy along. Anne knew Oliver didn't need tutoring, the rumors where wrong. She also knew that friends were very important to Oliver, so this quick new friendship needed to have some reason behind him, they were too close for only a month. It just wasn't sitting right with her. How is it that they were just now becoming friend after knowing each other for years? Why now? Just to add to this Anne didn't like Percy, in her eyes he didn't even deserve to know Oliver, let alone be such close friends with him. Anne had decided that she would make things . . . right.

'Oliver is mine, I won't let anything happen to him, or let any one get in my way' And these where her thoughts as Oliver and Percy turned the corner and out of her line of vision.
