Rivals (Oliver Wood & OC)

*Chapter 26*

Ingrid's POV

"Where are we going?" I ask Oliver as I have no clue whatsoever. Oliver had blindfolded me as soon as we left the Castle and he was now guiding me to who knows where!

"I can't tell you that Ingrid, it's all part of the surprise!" Oliver said mysteriously.
We stumble around for around five minutes until Oliver stops me from walking. He takes my blindfold off and we are stood outside the Forbidden Forrest.
"You told me in one of your letters that you wanted to study some beasts in close proximity, so I decided that you might like this!" Oliver said in a thoughtful manner.

I was surprised that Oliver had studied my letters and remembered for this date. You might think that this is weird but I liked the idea. Despite being a Ravenclaw I was quite brave and the sorting hat had considered me to be placed in Gryffindor. Oliver looked at me nervously, he didn't know if I liked it or not. I smile at him. He sighs in relief.
"This is pretty cool, let's go!" I smile, dragging him into the forest.
We had been walking for around ten minutes when I finally spotted an animal. A unicorn, it seemed to be interested in us.

I carefully approached it and it allowed me to stroke it. Oliver then joined me and I looked at him and smiled. This was one of the coolest things I had experienced. The Unicorn shook its mane and informed us that we should stop patting it, it then trots off.

We further explore the forest and I was sure that we were lost. All I saw was tree after tree and rock after rock but I wasn't worried, I trusted Oliver. I trusted that he would find a way out. We messed about for a while but that was before the spiders came.

They weren't the spiders that you saw in a house in your everyday life, no, they were spiders ten times bigger than that. They also seemed to be hungry for human meat. I wasn't that nervous as there was only one but it seemed to call others and I started to get nervous then. I grabbed Oliver's hand instinctively and ran and fast as I could. I could hear the scuttling of the spider's legs and it made me shiver but a rush of adrenaline entered my body.

We sprinted around the forest for what seemed to be an hour before we finally exited, out of breath and tired. After we caught our breath, Oliver immediately apologised, "I'm so sorry Ingrid, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I feel safe around you!" I smile reassuringly and Oliver couldn't seem to help himself.

I grabbed me by the waist and pressed his lips harshly against mine. We kissed roughly and passionately, almost as if we were never going to kiss again. That was when I felt a tongue try to slide its way into my mouth. I decided that two can play at that game and our tongues battled for dominance.

Being inexperienced in making out with someone, I lost. Oliver's tongue entered my mouth and seemed to explore thoroughly. We were too busy making out that we didn't seem to notice a teacher standing a few meters away from us. He finally grunted and caught our attention, we pulled away. It was Professor Snape, I should have stayed in that bloody forest!

"What are you both doing here Miss Ferguson, Mr Wood!" He asked, taking pleasure in his discovery.

"I think that you witnessed it all!" Oliver exclaimed, embarrassed and angry. He invaded our privacy.

"Well then, can you explain why you are both kissing each other, on a field outside the forbidden forest!" He said in a way that was strict.

"No Professor. We just decided to take a walk!" I decided to speak up and defend my boyfriend.

"Terrible excuse! I think that you should both go to Professor Dumbledore's office. Maybe he can talk some sense into you!" Snape remarked.

And with that, we both shamefully walked up to the headmaster's office. Again for doing something bad, I was a golden student. I should be up there for good things.

All I could think about at this point was the punishment that we would be given...
