Rivals (Oliver Wood & OC)

*Chapter 20*

Ingrid's POV

It was finally the day of the Ravenclaw Vs Gryffindor match. I couldn't wait to play and I was excited but I was also nervous. Being a seeker, most of this game counted on the seeker to win. I had a huge burden on my shoulders, I didn't want to be called a bad Captain.

I was in the changing rooms with my team at the moment and we were all quite nervous. I gave a small speech and I was ready to smash Gryffindor to pieces. I also knew that Harry wasn't playing today as he was in the hospital wing so this meant I had an extra chance at winning. We were then told to fly into the pitch and it separated me from my thoughts.

I flew out and scanned the Gryffindor team for the new player. It looked to be a fourth year and he seemed to be creating a lake on his forehead, that's how much he was sweating. He was also on a comet, so I could win. Madam Hooch blew her whistle and the game started.

In the next ten minutes, we were up 50-10. I was happy and the seeker was doing terrible so it worked out well for my team. I then spotted the snitch and flew towards it quickly, I could hear the Gryffindor seeker a little behind me but I didn't care. I reached my hand out and grasped the snitch. The game stopped and we had won 230-20.

I smiled and then and looked at Oliver. I could only see one emotion on his face, anger. I guess it was understandable, he had just lost his chance at Gryffindor winning the Quidditch Cup. I thought that if I left him alone that he would come around. I would wait until tomorrow.

It was the next day and I decided to talk to Oliver after class. I rushed after him after Potions and stopped him. He looked at me with pure annoyance before turning and walking away without a word. Our friendship seemed to have been destroyed and all that was left was our Rivalry. Our Rivalry had gotten in-between our friendship. We were back to square one.

I tried again the day after and I got the same response that I did before. He seemed to be constantly annoyed at me. Scowling at me in the corridors and making angry faces when I walked into classrooms. It wasn't pleasant for me at all.

"I've given up!" I exclaimed to Katie.

"Hey, don't lose hope," Katie comforted "He's just a little angry, give him some time to cool off."

"I don't get why he's that mad!" I say in annoyance "He has two other years to get this cup!"

"I know Ingrid," Katie sighed. I knew she was fed up with me ranting about this situation but I couldn't help it. It was my crush acting up again and I hated this. Every single time he flashes a scowl at me I get pretty annoyed but I also get upset. We had gotten pretty far with our friendship, I had even kissed him on the cheek. I had completely destroyed my chances by doing something I loved.

"What if he never gets over it?" I asked Katie.

"Then you'll get over your crush and go out with a cute guy!" Katie exclaimed as if it was easy.

"Getting over this crush won't be easy!" I say in despair.

"Well, we better start now!" Katie hurries "Think of Oliver as if he was a flabby ninety-eight-year-old man!"

I snort a little, it was funny but I couldn't do that. Every time I thought of Oliver I thought of muscles. It also made me feel disappointed, so I preferred not to think about him.

"I think I just won't think about Oliver at all, thanks!" I chuckle a little.

"Don't even mention his name!" Katie agreed.

Now I knew that this was going to be hard but I was up for it. The reason that he's mad at me is that we won, so if he doesn't see me he won't be mad. I know great logic, but it's all I can think of now.

I just hope that Oliver does forget about what happened, or maybe if I'm lucky he can apologise! I'll dream on but I hope these dreams come true!
