Everyone says that they have a yellow. I never thought I would have one, that is until she came into my life. And before I knew it I was falling. Falling fast and hard.
(For the purpose of this story Oliver is in the same year as the twins)
Hermion...
Me and my mom were heading onto the main road to get to the North West of London in an awkward silence with the radio faintly playing in the background. It was the song I'm not in love by 10cc.
I'm not in love So don't forget it It's just a silly phase I'm going through And just because I call you up Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
I like to see you But then again That doesn't mean you mean that much to me So if I call you Don't make a fuss Don't tell your friends about the two of us I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
I keep your picture Upon the wall It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
My mom turns the radio down until I can't hear it anymore and then speaks.
"Look I know this isn't easy but can you at least try to be happy that your father and I are happier like this?"
I look at her and sigh.
"I am happy that you're both happy I just wish things didn't have to be this way but I understand that you both don't love each other anymore and I respect that you both did what was best for you."
My mom looks at me surprised at my response but then happy. She turns her attention back on the road before turning the radio back up. I look back out the window wondering what is going to happen when I go back to Hogwarts and how I'm going to keep this from my friends.
We arrive at North west London 20 minutes later. I get out of the passenger seat and grab my suitcase from the back before helping my mom get hers from the boot. I stand there looking at the house before following my mom in. I leave my suitcase and bag at the bottom of the stairs before looking around the house. I hear my mom call from the living room.
"You can choose which room you want." I yell a simple Ok before heading up bringing my belongings with me.

I decide to choose the first room so I put my stuff in there and decide to unpack later. I head downstairs and check all the cupboards and fridge and see that we need groceries so I slip on my shoes and grab my muggle money before telling my mom that I'm going shopping. I grab my keys and head out walking to the shop that is ten minutes away from our house.
I keep my head down walking through the crowds of people and try not to make eye contact with any of them. I arrive at the shop and I go down the isles and collect the groceries I think me and my mom will need. I'm looking at the book isle when I hear a familiar voice say my name.
"Hermione?" I turn around to be met with the most beautiful bottle green eyes of the one and only Oliver wood.
"Oliver?" I say surprised to see the Scottish half-blood wizard standing in front of me. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm staying with the Weasley's for the last week of summer what about you I thought Harry said you lived in the center of London?"
"Oh I did but I'm staying in the north west with my parents for the last week before school starts."
"Well since we're both in the north west we should hang out before school starts and invite the others to come too." he smiled at me showing his teeth and wow he was handsome. No! what am I thinking this is Harry's friend and quidditch captain.
"Um sure when?" I look casually around the store to see if there's many people around to make things less awkward between Oliver and me.
"How about tomorrow say at 1:00pm. At the muggle café near here?" I turn my attention back to him and see him looking at me with a hopeful look in his eye.
"Alright. I guess I'll see you then." I weakly smile at him.
"Bye lass." and with that he was gone.
I sigh and then get all the groceries I need before heading back home. On my way back home I decided to look in the nearby book store. I picked a book called 'The Fault In Our Stars'. As I was getting my muggle money out of my pocket I found a slip of paper which said:
Here's my number so we talk more on a muggle phone and get to know each other.
Oliver
And sure enough there was his number underneath. I felt a small smile tug at my lips. I put the slip of paper back into my pocket and getting my money out and paying for the book and then heading back to what I guess I should now call home.
