Dating Oliver Would Include...

WORD COUNT: 438

Dating Oliver, you would think you'd come second to Quidditch, but he never failed to spoil you and make you feel like the most special girl in the world when you were together. Being on your House's team yourself, you shared a special bond over the game and a mutual understanding of the time and commitment it took between practice, matches, and both being Captains during your sixth and seventh years.

In the halls of Hogwarts, younger students would always raise their eyebrows when they realized that the two rival Quidditch captains were dating each other after seeing you two studying together in the library or holding hands in the corridors. Older students, however, were more used to it, and the two of you were actually pretty popular, always being stopped on your walk between classes to chat with people, almost like celebrities.

You both shared the same dream of playing professional Quidditch, but surprisingly this didn't make you more competitive, but rather you each pushed one another to be better. After matches where your teams weren't facing off, you and Oliver would book the pitch for an hour after classes one day and go over new maneuvers and mistakes you saw the other teams make to improve your own flying.

Oliver always considered himself lucky that he had just happened to sign up for the same extracurricular classes as you during third year, because you were smarter than he was and made sure he did well in his classes so he could keep his grades up.

Hogsmeade was you and Oliver's special place; it's the place where he took you on your second date (your first real date, considering your actual first date had been huddled together in the stands during a particularly rainy Quidditch match watching and critiquing the two teams playing). During your whole seven years at Hogwarts, the two of you never missed a Hogsmeade day and you always looked forward to spending the day with your handsome boyfriend in your favorite place on earth.

The Second Wizarding War hit your relationship pretty hard, as you were a Muggle-born and were forced to go into hiding for being exposed as a member of the Order. For seven months, you had no contact with Oliver, but the day you reunited at the Battle of Hogwarts was simultaneously the best and worst day of your lives (for obvious reasons). After that, the two of you were basically inseparable, and it only took him three months to the date after the battle to get down on one knee and propose to you. You said yes, of course.
