The Unexpected Twin

~5~

I've been avoiding Fred ever since our almost kiss. Which honestly hasn't been that hard. I've been hiding in the library all weekend focusing on my studies and trying to avoid everything and everyone else. I felt myself starting to close myself off and honestly I didn't hate it but I knew it wasn't me. But today was the day I got to skip my classes and learn to play Quddich. I wasn't really excited about missing a full day of classes but at least it meant I didn't have to see Fred in potions. Harry had told me to that Oliver wanted me to just meet them in the courtyard and they would be along later. I put on my favorite sweater and a pair of leggings. I looked at the clock and noticed I still had plenty of time before I had to meet the boys on the pitch so I decided to do my hair. Usually I don't care how I look but just for the fun of it I decided to braid my hair into a side braid. I headed out to the courtyard beating both of the boys there.

After a while I see Harry and a tall brunette boy who I'm assuming is Oliver walk outside, carrying a trunk. They put it down. I walk over to the boys with a smirk. "It's about time you boys showed up!" Oliver looks up at me and smiles as he just stares. He holds out his hand  "I don't think we have met yet. I'm Oliver. Oliver Wood." I smile back not taking his hand. "I'm Y/N. Nice to meet you." He drops his hand and keeps smiling. "Earth to Oliver!" Harry snaps. "Can we get back to Quddich?" Oliver shakes his head and claps his hands. He bends down and opens the trunk. "Quidditch is easy enough to understand. Each time has seven players. Three Chasers, two Beaters, one Keeper and a Seeker. That's you guys. There are three kinds of balls" He picks one up. "This one's called the Quaffle. Now, the chasers handle the Quaffle and try to put it through one of those three hoops." He points back to the hoops that I spent hours cleaning the other day. "The keeper. That's me!" He says while winking at me. "Defends the hoops. You guys with me so far?" I nodded and Harry looks at the trunk confused. "I think so but what are those?" He points at a couple chained up balls. Oliver puts the Quaffle away and hands me a little bat. "Here you might need this." He says with a smile. He bends down and releases one ball. With an angry growl, it flies off into the air. We watch it. "Careful now, it's coming back." The balls comes whizzing down, and I crack at it with the bat. The ball soars off through a statue, surprisingly without damaging it. "Not bad, Y/N. You'd make a fair Beater. Uh-oh." The ball zooms down, and Oliver grabs it, wriggling to get it back in the box. He succeeds and is out of breath.

"What was that?" Harry asks while his jaw is dropped. "Bludger. Nasty little buggers. But you are a Seeker. And the only thing I want you to worry about is this. The Golden Snitch." Oliver takes out the snitch and hands it to Harry. Harry holds the snitch up to me. "Looks just like Y/n's necklace." Oliver looks up at me with confusion not realizing I had a necklace on. "That's because my necklace is also a Golden Snitch Harry." Oliver blushes slightly. "But what do we do with it Oliver?" Harry turns and asks. "You catch it. Before the other team's Seeker. You catch this, the game is over. You catch this, Potter, and we win!" I smirked at Harry "Good luck catching it before I do!" Harry slightly chuckled. "Is that a challenge Y/n?" "Maybe it is Potter!" Oliver buts in. "Hey save it for the field you two." We all break out laughing.

It finally came time for dinner but I wasn't really hungry so I decided to skip dinner and go to my dorm to study. Cho walks in the dorm room and sees me sitting on my bed studying and closes my book. "Hey-" "Y/n you need to come down and eat." "I'm not hungry so I'd rather just study." Cho rolled her eyes "You are such a Ravenclaw!" "So are you!" We both chuckled a bit then she looked at me in the eyes and gave me the puppy dog face. "Please come eat with us." I sighed "Fine!" She grabbed my hand and we ran to the Great Hall.

I sat down with Cho and I immediately feel like I'm being watched, I look up and see my suspicions are correct. A set of eyes are on me coming from the Gryffindor table but surprisingly it wasn't Fred's. It was Oliver.  Cho leans down and whispered to me. "Why is Oliver Wood staring at you?"I shrugged. "You know he's like one of the most popular guys in the school!" I grabbed a sandwich trying to ignore it. "Well I did spend almost all day with him and Harry training for Quddich." Cho nudged me. "Do you think he likes you?" I turned to look at her. "Absolutely not! And anyways you know I like someone else!" Cho laughed a bit. "Oh ya! How could I forget! But didn't you say things were kinda weird between you guys? Have you even talked about it?" I shook my head. "I haven't even seen him since it happened." I started ignoring all of Cho's questions and just zoned off staring at the Gryffindor table.
