Keeping Him (An Oliver Wood Love Story)

Chapter 10: My girl

Y/N POV:

Upon arrival, everyone turns to Harry, Ron and I and in an instant we're surrounded. Students from other houses are already filing inside and sitting down on the couches. A half hour in, the common room is full of laughter and dancing and I'm standing behind the DJ booth with George and Fred. George turns down the pitch of the song and increases the bass, and quickly and swiftly switches the song. Fred high-fives George and both let out a hard laugh followed by "Wicked!" 

I look up scanning incoming faces hoping to see some of my friends. I tap on Fred's shoulder to signify I'm leaving and I walk towards the sofa in front of the fireplace. I point to an open spot next to Hermione and Ron, and I subtly sit down. "Hey Y/N how's your butterbeer?" I shrug, "Pretty good, I'm almost done with my first. Wanna grab another drink with me?" She examines her cup and nods, putting her hand on Ron's thigh, getting up and walking over to the cooler in the corner. In front of the cooler stands Cho and Cedric, making out. "Ugh, I can't get around them, Y/N," Hermione rolls her eyes. "Excuse me, coming through," I break them apart, receiving a harsh stare from Cho, "I'm sorry to interrupt but I need another beer," and Cedric clears his throat, taking Cho and heading to an open seat on a couch on the other side of the room. I turn around and look to Harry, who watches with sad eyes as Cho walks by with Cedric. He looks back down at his drink and continues his conversation with Ron. On our walk back, Hermione begins to slur her words and I can't seem to understand her. She's such a lightweight, I laugh at the thought of her drinking much more than two. 

As we make our way back to the couch, a familiar face is sitting in our spots, with a cup of butterbeer in his hand, he's talking with Ron and Harry. "Ahem," I say, eyeing the spot I was just sitting in. He smirks, "Move your feet, lose your seat, Y/N." He says, and turns back to his conversation. I roll my eyes and I watch Hermione sit on Ron's lap, resulting in him wrapping his arms around her. I ask nicely, "Wood can you move over, please?" He smiles and moves an inch, which is enough room for me to squish between the arm of the couch without getting into his personal space. He looks over at me and smiles, and subtly wraps his arm around my shoulder, without saying a word. I start a convo with Angelina and Irving on the floor, attempting to ignore Oliver's arm. 

"Y/N, are you and Wood together?" Angelina asks in a quiet tone. I shrug, "We're not dating, but we went on one date the other day." She smiles and nudges Irving, "See, I told you!" and she looks back at me, "You two kissing on the pitch definitely gave it away." I blush, and Oliver turns to me and whispers something in my ear, "I'm going to get up and grab another beer, you want?" I shake my head no and he kisses my cheek and gets up. I can feel the heat and redness return to my face, and Angelina's jaw drops. Fred comes over to her and taps on her shoulder, and she excuses herself and walks over to the booth with him. Draco walks over and sits down next to me. "I hate to admit, but your shot on Pucey was astonishing." I thank him and turn away at the awkward encounter. "Y/N, what are you doing after this?" I look at him wide eyed, "Um, I don't know, why do you ask?" He tucks a strand of hair behind my ear and asks, "Wanna come to the astronomy tower with me?" I open my mouth to come up with an excuse when Oliver returns with his eyebrows furrowed. "Malfoy what are you doing with my girl?" Draco looks up at Oliver with a confused look, "Your girl?" He moves his head to look at Oliver and I. "My apologies, Wood. I didn't know you were dating Y/N." Oliver nods and Draco slowly gets up and walks away, winking at me as he leaves. Oliver scoffs and sits back down next to me, and wraps his arm back around me, pulling me in. "I'm your girl now?" I ask him, and he shrugs, "I said that for him to leave, but if you want you can." I smile, "Well then I guess I am," he nods his head and kisses my temple and takes a long sip of his drink.

As the night goes on, the room reeks of weed and the sweet scent of butterbeer. I'm finishing my sixth drink by the time it's 12:30am, and I'd say I'm pretty drunk. I stumble getting up, and Oliver jumps up in time to catch me. "I think it's time for you to head up to your dorm," Oliver says and I refuse. "No I'm fine, I'm going over to talk to Angelina." He lets me go as I walk over to Angelina, and see her making out with Fred on a table. I shut my eyes and laugh, leaving them and walking over to George who is chugging his drink and working the booth. He's head-banging to the song and lets out a huge belch. He looks to me and smiles, draping his arm over my shoulder and continuing to rock. "So, how do you like your first party?" He asks as he takes a drag. I nod my head and look back up at him, "It's really fun, you got good music taste," he smiles. "Thank you Y/N, he takes his arm off and goes to change the song and I go to grab another drink. 

At the cooler I hear my name and look up seeing Draco waving to me from across the room. I walk up to him and he begins to apologize, "Y/N, sorry about earlier, I didn't realize you were in a relationship," he says, looking around us to make sure nobody's watching. "I want to make it up to you, and I want to get to know you, as an acquaintance of course." I nod my head yes in approval, "Sure, I'm cool with that," and I walk away back to the couch near Oliver. I take a sip from my drink and I sit down and lean my head against Oliver. He looks at me and returns to his conversation with Lee, and I slowly fall asleep cuddling on his shoulder. 

Oliver POV:

I turn around to see Y/N with her head on my shoulder. I smile, butterflies rushing through my stomach, and I look back at Lee. "...then Snape walked up to me and threatened to take away points from Gryffindor if I didn't say that Slytherin won. I thought the games this year would be fair, and not be cursed or hoaxed by grown ass adults, but apparently I was wrong. We lost fifty points but I think it's worth it." I nod my head and respond, "You did the right thing, don't stress it mate, Harry will win us back a ton of points by the end of the semester anyway." I laugh and turn back to Y/N, "Right, darling?" I receive no response and I look down at her, blushing a bit. She fell asleep, I think to myself and I excuse myself from the conversation, picking up Y/N and holding her head close against my chest, and I walk her up the stairs towards the girls dorm room. I knock on her dorm door, hoping Hermione is in there, but in response I hear moaning. I widen my eyes and rush back downstairs and to my dorm room instead. I hope she doesn't mind sleeping on my bed tonight, I think and I lay her down and tuck her in. I look at her in awe, "How are you as beautiful asleep as you are awake?" I ask myself and I smile. 

I head to the bathroom and change into sweats and return to my room. Percy is already asleep in his bed, snoring obnoxiously. I silently cast muffliato towards his bed, and sit on the foot of the bed, leaning my head against the post. I look back at Y/N, and I shake my head, smiling widely. I cross my arms and drift off to sleep, dreaming of nothing else but Y/N, my girl.
