Oliver Wood Imagines

Our own Halloween - Halloween 2021

You were excited to have the chance to visit Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. Professor Flitwick had chosen his best student for it. After a lot of practise you would be among the eight going, two from each house.

The only problem was that you'd miss the Halloween feast. It was your favourite. The treats and drinks were wonderful. You would get to go to Hogsmead to buy special candies from Honeydukes. Olive went with you every year and the two of you pooled your money. The muggles in your dorms would bring their own kinds of candies and everyone in your year would gather together by the fire of the dorm and swap sweets. As the years went on people added to the group and now most of the Gryffindors camped out down there. One year there was even a hufflepuff who had been smuggled in and promised sweets. They'd been rather apologetic when Professor McGonigal had caught them in the morning. Though everyone agreed she'd known that they'd been there the whole time and had chosen to let you all have your fun.

"Are you still sad?" Oliver asked you. You'd just finished potions and thought the lesson had gone well, you'd been so melancholy that even Snape hadn't taunted anyone the entire lesson.

"Of course I am. I'll be missing out on all the fun." You muttered. He was heading to the quidditch pitch. While he carried the box of balls for training, you carried his broomstick.

"Are you sure about that?" He asked playfully. He had a wide smile on his face and you gave him a suspicious look as you both made your way down to the field. You stopped when you saw a few people from different houses gathered together in the middle. Some of them you recognised, a few you'd seen around but didn't really know.

"Oliver?" You questioned and he grinned again. The pair of you ran to greet everyone. Most of the Quidditch team had gathered there as well. The Weasley twins handed over some Muggle chocolate frogs their father had encountered. They explained that they were chocolate frogs but they didn't move, both delighted over the name matching Fred's.

"We can have our own Halloween here." Oliver suggested as he took the broomstick from you and set it down with the results of the teams, a little way away from where everyone was sitting on cozy looking blankets. "I even got special permission from Dumbledore to order sweets from Honeydukes. They couldn't let us go early as it would be unfair. But McGonagall did point out that the ten travelling would be missing out on a Honeydukes trip so Flitwick agreed to take the ten of you on an extra trip when you get back."

"Oh! Oliver! Thank you. That's so great." You said excitedly. You saw your trip mate waving to you and the two of you hurried to take your seats on the blanket. You observed a large amount of sherbet lemons and a massive tin of shortbread biscuits, which had thistles on them and looked suspiciously hand made, among the bright packets and the lunches that had clearly been pooled together to make a buffet.
