Oliver Wood Imagines

Imagine... You're The Backup Quidditch Seeker

This was a request from JulzLovDraco4Eva. I hope you enjoy it!

Great. Just great. It's my third year at Hogwarts and I still didn't make the Quidditch team. Well... I sort of made the team, but I was a backup. The first year, Harry Potter, played as seeker while I was backup seeker if he got hurt. 

I walked back to my dorm after tryouts and threw myself on my bed. I just wish he would see my potential. I swear I'm a good quidditch player. 

I bet you're wondering who I'm talking about when I say he. Well, this certain he is the Oliver Benjamin (or Duncan, I've heard both) Wood.  

He's the captain for the Gryffindor quidditch team and he was the one who put me as a backup since Harry is pretty popular. 

After a little while of sitting there, I heard a knock at my door. I walked over and opened it to see Angelina Johnson and Alicia Spinnet standing there. 

"Can I help you?" I said in an awkward tone. They had never talked to me before, but I knew they were nice. 

"Listen y/n, something's happened and Oliver needs to talk to you," Alicia said, rubbing the back of her neck. 

"Why does he want to talk to me?" I asked raising an eyebrow. 

"Girl you'll see when you go talk to him. Now go," Angelina said, PULLING me out of my room. 

I glared at them and figured I'd go look for him at the pitch. 

The closer that I started to get to the pitch, the more nervous I got. There was one thing I may have forgotten to mention. I may or may not have a crush on Oliver. So yeah. Hopefully, this isn't a bad talk. 

 I got to the pitch and saw Oliver pacing back and forth, talking to himself. 

"Hey, Oliver did you need something?" I said, slowly approaching him.

"Y/N! Listen something happened with Harry. I think he said he was sick, but I really need you to be the seeker for the game this weekend. Please tell me you will. I really need your skills," he said, practically begging me. 

I thought for a minute and then nodded my head at him. 

"Yay! Thank you!" He said running over, picking me up and spinning me around. "You're a lifesaver!"

I laughed loudly and smiled at him as he set me down. 

He stared at me for a moment and then quickly said bye and ran off. Hmm, I wonder what that was about. 

*Time skip to the game because I can't think of what to write*

Today was finally the day of the game. It was against Slytherin and I know that we had practiced hard. There were even some nights where Oliver and I got some extra practice in. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. He and I started to become closer and it only made me like him more. 

We were all in the locker room listening to Oliver's big before game speech. The twins and I were trying to hold in our laughter as Oliver was glaring at us. 

After the speech was finally over, we walked out onto the pitch and got onto our brooms. Oliver and Marcus shook each other's hands and the game began. 

*Oliver's POV*

Throughout the game, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful y/n looked. During the past week, I started to developed feelings for her. I had always thought she was pretty, but I didn't have the courage to talk to her. 

Another thing I couldn't help but notice about her what how good she was on her broom. During practices and while he practiced at night, I saw how good of a quidditch player she was and her dedication to quidditch. 

I hope that we can become more than friends someday. 

*Back to your POV*

I did it! I caught the snitch! We won!

The whole team cheered as well as all the houses besides Slytherin. 

I landed on the ground as the girls hugged me and the twins gave me a pat on the back. I looked over and saw Oliver get off his broom and run over to me. He picked me up and pulled me into a big hug while I wrapped my arms around him receiving awws from Fred and George. 

He put me down and congratulated me on the win. 

"Hey y/n, do you want to walk back to the common room with me?" He said rubbing the back of his neck. 

"Of course I do," I said smiling. 

During the walk, we talked about life and got to know a little more about each other. As we got to the painting outside the common room, he stopped me. 

"Listen y/n I have something I need to tell you," he said nervously. 

"Go on?" I said in a questionable tone. 

"This past week I've started to pay closer attention to and I've gotten to know you a lot more. You're quidditch skills amaze me and I can't help but notice how beautiful you are. I'm not very good at expressing things other than my passion for quidditch but I wanted to let you know that I really like you y/n," Oliver said. 

A huge smile appeared on my face. 

"So I take that as you feel the same way?" He said giving a small smirk. 

"Yes!" I said running into his arms. 

Throughout the years, Oliver and I were a strong couple. There were a few fights here and there, but we always worked it out. Even though he graduated before me, we always wrote to each other and visited every school break. 

After I left Hogwarts, Oliver and I moved in together and were so happy. One day he surprised me with a proposal. We soon got married and I was the happiest I have ever been. 

I always think that if Harry hadn't fallen ill on that day Oliver and I wouldn't have become close. So.... thanks Harry haha.
