Serendipity: An Oliver Wood Fanfiction

Chapter 5

"I need you to understand that I really like him, and I'm happy." Willow pleaded. "Please just be happy for me. He's apologised and he's agreed to try to get along with you, can't you do the same, Alhena?" She continued. 

Alhena had put a lot of thought into her friends new relationship with Oliver, since the day before when Oliver had asked Willow to be his girlfriend. Alhena had her doubts, obviously, apart of her even believed he was just toying with Willow to piss off Alhena. However, Alhena recognised Willows happiness, and so she put her own thoughts aside to please her friend. 

"I'll try to get along with him.." Alhena smiled weakly as Willow squealed and wrapped her arms around her. "But-- If he calls me a whore again, I won't hesitate to re-break his nose." 

"Perfectly understandable!" Willow beamed. "I'm so glad you're going to try to get along with him, Alhena. I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't becauseee, he's actually going to be here in five minutes." Willow glanced down at her watch.

"What?" Alhena frowned. "Yeah, he's going to spend a little time with us in the dorm. I asked him to." Willow smiled broadly. "Be kind." 

"I will.." And just at that, the door opened to reveal Oliver. "I ran into Montague on the way here, he was not pleased." Oliver laughed, taking a seat on Willows bed and tossing his shoes underneath it, right beside Willow's.

Alhena frowned, studying his actions for a few moments longer, before Oliver noticed her peculiar behaviour. "You've been in here before.." Alhena shifted her gaze between Oliver and Willow. "How has he been in here before? why was I not told this?"

"Calm down, Alhena. It's okay, we were just finishing the rest of Herbology last week." Willow placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "I didn't tell you because I knew you'd be mad." Willow sighed, and she was right. Alhena was mad, but she was doing her best to hide it. "Well.. Welcome back, then." She tried to smiled but it ended out looking quite scary. 

For the remainder of the evening, Willow spoke the entire time. She didn't seem to mind, Willow could easily talk for hours without interruption. However, Oliver and Alhena were growing increasingly more uncomfortable with the others presence, and this Willow did notice. 

"I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back." Willow dashed away, leaving the two of them alone. Alhena looked over at Oliver, but he was just staring at the ground, avoiding eye contact. "Are you scared of me, now?" Alhena chuckled, and his eyes shot up to meet her. 

"Of course not." He laughed. Alhena could tell he wanted to have an attitude, but held back. "Not even after I broke your nose?" She snickered, and there was a flicker of rage in his honey brown eyes. 

"Not even after you broke my nose." Olivers eyes darted over to the bathroom door, praying Willow would re-enter so they wouldn't have to be alone. "Muffliato." Alhena whispered, pointing her wand out from under her cloak. (A spell so that nobody but Oliver and Alhena could hear what they're saying)

"Right, so now that Willow can't eavesdrop. We're having the talk." Alhena sighed, putting her wand away. "I know how babies are made." Oliver frowned. "Not that talk, dipshit." Alhena rolled her eyes. "The dad talk, except i'm not her dad.. So the best friend talk." She explained. 

"Right, so. It's quite simple really, you hurt her I shatter every bone in your body. You break her heart and I murder you and your entire family, and so forth. You know how it goes. Depending on how bad I might add in a few arsons and extra murders. I do think burning the Gryffindor common room down would prove entertaining." 

"What if she breaks my heart?" Oliver cocked his eyebrows. "Then i'll get down on my knees and worship her at her feet." Alhena grinned. "You're an ass." Oliver scowled before Willow re-entered, and Alhena subtly removed the spell.
