Empty Thought

Daphne had been bored. That was when it started. She had tuned out of Pansy and Millicent's conversation and looked around Great Hall for something – or someone – else to focus on.

Her eyes absently landed on the Gryffindor Quidditch captain, Oliver Wood.

He is rather attractive, she found herself thinking to herself. But he's also a Gryffindor.

But it didn't stop her eyes from wandering over to him every time they were eating. Soon, she was also dreaming about him. They started off innocent enough – just like her 'crush' had – but soon she was waking up with a pounding heart and thoughts Pansy would shame her for.

It had just been an empty thought one day due to boredom, but now it was much more than that.

Daphne kept it to herself, but as she watched Oliver Wood make his final appearance on the Quidditch pitch, she realised something she'd known for a while.

Daphne Greengrass was in love with Oliver Wood.
