Oliver Wood & the Reluctant Contestant

Luna and Neville!

"Ohmigod." Gerry said as she closed the door behind her. She leaned against it and fell down softly. Hermione looked up from her book and looked at her friend worried.

"Ger?"

"James asked me on a date after the show…"

Hermione's eyes widened as she realized that Gerry meant James Pallay, as in Oliver's teammate.

Hermione threw the covers off. "What happened?" She asked genuinely curious.

Gerry gave a girlish shriek as she jumped on Hermione's bed, excited to tell her story.

"So I told Oliver I wanted to go and see the kids at the orphanage again."

"Wow how are they?"

"Good. Little Oliver ran to me and Oliver but then pouted when he realized you weren't with me."

Hermione gave a laugh. "I miss him."

"I bet. Oh and guess what?"

"What?"

"George's trying to adopt Yulisa your girl."

Hermione's jaw dropped. "Really?"

"Yes, I saw him there when we came. He talked to us for a while. Some of the other kids are up for adoption too. Bruno remember the kid that had Taty? Well he's been adopted too. He was actually leaving today."

"That's great."

"yeah. But then when we came in I saw James and the twins were there. We got to talking and then we all had a picnic with the kids. It was so adorable seeing the kids playing together with the guys. Then Tommy latched onto both me and James. The three of us took a walk and while we did so, James and I just got to talking about so many things. Favorite quidditch teams. Our childhood, our lives. Then as I left with Oliver, James helped me put on my jacket at the same time he asked me out."

"Wow Gerry, you accepted right?"

"Yes."

"Do you like him?"

"I think so. I mean he's so good looking but he's also down to earth despite his… clownish ways."

Hermione laughed at Gerry's explanation.

"Oh Hermione, this show, I'm so glad to be a part of this show. I can't imagine not meeting you and being roommates. Or me, you, Alicia, and Rianne becoming friends. Getting to know Oliver and now meeting James."

"Hello ladies." Oliver said smiling though a bit sad this time around. "Tonight it's not my choice who stays or goes. It was all up to the viewers."

"I wish none of you had to go. All four of you are great. You're all so different in many ways. This place is going to be empty without two of you here."

Gerry gripped Hermione's hand.

In Oliver's hands appeared two bouquets of yellow roses.

"My mum once told me the meaning of different colored roses. Red for love and romance. White for purity and innocence. Pink for elegance and grace. Yellow for joy and friendship."

"Gerry, Pru, I hope that after all this we may still all be friends."

Gerry looked at Hermione sad to go but glad that her friend was still there. Though she doubted that Hermione would be eliminated.

Both Gerry and Pru accepted their yellow roses, each giving Oliver a hug.

Gerry and Hermione were in their room, helping Gerry pack.

"I think that the viewers chose right. I mean Daisy seems in love with him and I know you and him are in love with each other. I can go feeling good about that but now you'll be here by yourself."

"No she won't I asked the Head of the Auror's for some to come and protect Hermione." Oliver said leaning against the door frame of the girl's room.

"Ohmigod that's great." Gerry sighed.

"Please tell me it's not Ron or Harry." Hermione said horrified.

Both Gerry and Oliver laughed at her expression.

Hermione hugged Gerry tight.

"I don't want you to go."

"Me neither."

"I'm going to miss you so much Ger."

"Same here Mione."

The next day

"Wow I can't believe it's just you and me now." Daisy said as Hermione sat down for breakfast.

"Yeah. It's pretty amazing. Seems like just yesterday there was twenty of us here."

"I know right?"

Hermione smiled.

"Do you think there's any chance at all that Oliver likes me?" Daisy asked after a few moments of silence.

Hermione pursed her lips. "Uh, ye yeah. You're really pretty Daisy and nice. He'd have to be stupid not to like you."

Daisy smiled. "I really like him, I didn't think I would but I do." She said softly as she looked down at her breakfast.

"I'm headed out, I'm going on a walk around the grounds." Hermione said at last.

"Oh okay."

"No you aren't not until the auror's get here." Oliver said leaning against the doorway.

"Oliver!" Daisy exclaimed.

"Hi Dasiy." Oliver said smiling as he took a seat across from them.

Hermione made a face at his earlier words.

"I found out who they are."

"Who?"

"You'll see." Oliver winked. "I have to go training today soon. But I'll wait until they get here." There was a loud knock at the door. "I have great timing don't I." Oliver joked. "Hermione, how about you get it." Oliver said trying to hide a smile.

Hermione gave him a weird look but obliged.

She opened the heavy doors. In front of her were… Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom.

Her jaw dropped slightly. Then broke out into a smile. She threw herself at her two old friends.

"Hello Mione." Neville said hugging her back.

"Hullo." Luna said hugging her too.

"Come in, come in." Hermione said still smiling.

"You good?" Oliver asked grinning as he walked out to meet them.

"Yes!" Hermione said cheerily. "I'm beyond good."

"Guess then I can go then. I'll see you later." Oliver said.

"Yeah." Hermione smiled as she looked up to see him clearer.

"I always forget how handsome he is." Luna commented after Oliver left. "Hermione you're so lucky."

"Luna!" Neville exclaimed.

"Oh hunny he's not my type. Too tall."

"You have a type?"

"Of course. You're my type, the silent hero." Luna said smiling at him.

Neville blushed.
