You and Seamus exited the library, giggling about how angry Madam Pince had gotten at the sight of the snack he smuggled in. You two had just finished up a study session, as you werent doing so well in Astronomy and Professor Sinistra had suggested asking someone for help. She mentioned Seamus being a good student, and as you were already friends to some degree, you decided it was worth a shot. He agreed to tutor you, and his assistance was not only improving your astronomy abilities, but was also quite fun.
As you passed through the heavy doors, your eyes spotted a familiar figure, one donned in a Gryffindor robe, walking towards you: Oliver Wood. Oliver was your long time crush, and you could feel your cheeks begin to heat up from his unexpected presence. You two were actually rather close friends, but your infatuation with the boy sometimes made it difficult to pretend your feelings were strictly platonic.
"(Y/N)! I've been looking for you, where-?" he stopped mid-sentence as he noticed the boy standing beside you, still laughing slightly to himself.
Your heart leapt in surprise at the thought of Oliver searching the castle for you, but you brushed the thought out of your mind before it could become a distraction. "I've been studying in the library with Seamus! We just had a rather frightening run in with Madam Pince, actually," you dissolved into a fit of giggles again, recalling the look on her face.
"Oh," he replied, unsure of how to react to the obvious inside joke. He took notice of the way you rested your hand on Seamus's shoulder for support as you laughed, not to mention how close you two were standing to each other. His stomach clenched in jealousy at the sight, and he couldn't help but wonder if this had been a study date.
"It was awful," Seamus agreed, the statement conflicting with the grin on his face. "We were actually just headed down to get some food from the kitchen, since ours got taken away. Bet you anything the old bat's snacking on our grub as we speak."
Sneaking down to the kitchens when it was almost time to return to dorms? A late night dinner for two? Tip-toeing back to their respective common rooms through deserted castle hallways? Yes, Oliver concluded, it was definitely a date.
His eyebrows furrowed at the realization and he muttered a quick and obviously forced "have fun," before turning on his heel and speeding away to somewhere he could mope in private.
"Hm, I was going to ask him to join us, but I guess he's busy," Seamus shrugged.
"Yeah, I guess so..." you trailed off, wishing Oliver hadn't left in such a hurry. You hadn't even found out why he was looking for you! Not to mention the fact that his sudden change in demeanor hadn't gone unnoticed, and you were worried that you might have done something to upset him. You followed Seamus to the stairwell, your heart sinking to your stomach as you let your worries take over.
By the time you two reached the kitchens, Oliver was nearly half way across the castle, his anger powering his stride into a walk so powerful that first years were throwing him looks of fear as he passed them. He wondered how he could've been so stupid, to think that you'd go for a guy like him.
