Life in the pitch (Oliver & Rey)

Chapter 4

         

How is she today?' A voice with a heavy accent asked 'She's doing excellent, her skull has fully recovered but I can't say if she isn't permanently scarred until she wakes up.' A more female voice replied. Rey had trouble with opening her eyes and her body felt like it was paralyzed. She tried to focus on one thing at a time. All her concentration was on opening her eyes and she could feel the feeling flowing back already. 'I think she's waking up!' The voice with the accent yelled. 'Come on Rey open you eyes you can do it' She thought to herself. Slowly they opened and the bright white hurt her eyes.

She tilted her head to the side to see a boy sitting there holding her hand. She focused on him trying to get a clear picture of who was sitting beside her. A tall boy, deep brown eyes and short brown hair with a Gryffindor sweater on. 'Who...who...' Rey struggled as she was trying to speak 'Wait...Ol..Oliver?' She could see clearly now that her captain was sitting beside her but she has never seen him with such a worried look on his face. 'Yeah it's me Rey, how you're doing?' Oliver asked with concern 'Rubbish' Rey laughed at him trying to mask her pain.

After 5 minutes her feeling in her body came back and she was sitting on the side of her bed. 'So let me get this straight, I was hit by a bludger in a game against Hufflepuff a week ago and I cracked my skull and you caught me before I fell onto the field and lay me down in the sand.' Rey asked confused 'Yeah that's it and we won the game a day after because Charles caught the snitch. He was lucky though because Cedric almost had it if he wasn't hit by Fred's bludger.' Oliver told her looking out of the window as if he was replaying the game in his head. 'Is Cedric here too then?' Rey asked worrying about Cedric because he's a good friend of hers. 'No it only knocked him off his broomstick a little and slowed him down.' Oliver replied. Rey let out a deep sigh 'Good'

She jumped off her bed onto the ground without any grace and almost stumbling in the progress. 'You okay?' Oliver stood up and leaned towards her to catch her if she fell. 'No I'm doing great' She said with a big smile and put her hand on Oliver's shoulder 'I think my knight in shining quidditch armor has done enough for me. So hereby I dismiss you and thank you for your captain services.' She saluted him dorky. 'Ow okay then I guess I will see you around?' Oliver asked. 'Yeah I have practice everyday so i don't think we will miss each other' Rey answered. 'Yeah, see you at practice then' Oliver said and walked towards the exit of the hospital wing but just before he left he hesitantly turned around 'Rey ehm are you and Cedric dating or something because you were quite concerned about him when I told you of the bludger and I was wondering if you were a thing?' Oliver asked looking at awkwardly at his feet. 'No were nothing like that, just friends. Why do you ask?' Rey asked with much curiosity. 'Oh ehm well...' Oliver started 'He's the seeker of Hufflepuff and they are the rival so I just wanted to check because you might let them win out of pity or something like that and we can't have that if we want to win the quidditch cup.' He said walking backwardly towards the exit. 'Okay Oliver... you're one strange captain' Rey said looking at how Oliver was sneaking towards the door 'Bye' Rey waved and Oliver waved back, turned around and disappeared into the corridor. Rey watched thinking about his weird question 'I know he is dedicated but that was weird' she mumbled to herself 'Well I must be overthinking it' She left her train of thought and went into the bathroom to change out of her hospital gown and into her Gryffindor sweater and black pants.
