wrong direction

On the first day of classes, Samantha had helped show Ginny where all her classes would be so that she wouldn't get lost.

"And here's your first class, potions." Samantha says stopping in front of the dungeon.

"Thanks Sammy." Ginny says walking into the class making Samantha smile lightly. She realized that she loved Ginny just as much as she loved Harry, and she would do anything to protect that girl.

"Oí Potter." Oliver yells spotting the girl walking down the halls. Samantha turns and gives Oliver a small smile.

"Hello Oli. What do I owe the pleasure of your presence?" Samantha jokes making Oliver shove the girl lightly causing her to laugh as she stumbles slightly.

"Don't hurt yourself now." Oliver says grabbing her arm to keep her steady.

"Where are you off to?" Oliver asks once they continue their way down the hall. Samantha looks at Oliver with an annoyed look.

"Dada with stupid Lockhart. Please kill me." Samantha says leaning into Oliver making him wrap and arm around her waist to keep her steady.

"I can't kill you because I need you for quidditch, after next year I may do it if you beg." Oliver states making Samantha roll her eyes. She didn't bother moving out of his grasp, she found herself rather comfortable with his hand on her waist.

"Can we please ditch first period?" Samantha pleads to the sixth year. Oliver looks down at her and raises an eyebrow.

"You Samantha Potter want to ditch?" Oliver asks and she nods her head again smiling slightly. Oliver smiles widely and nods his head lifting the mood of the 4th year.

"Yes!" She says excitedly and the two of them manage to walk down to the black lake for a few hours talking about quidditch, not knowing two red heads watching them for a few of those minuets.

"She likes Oliver doesn't she George?" Fred asks watching Samantha laugh at something Oliver had said. George looks at Fred and then to the two Gryffindors by the lake.

"She hasn't said anything to me Fred. Why? Are you starting to like her?" George asks hoping that his brother would say yes.

"I don't know." Fred says making George frown. How doesn't he know? Shouldn't he easily tell how he feels?

"Well you can't tell Samantha I told you this, but she had a crush on you last year." George says and Fred looks at him shocked.

"She never told you because you had your eyes on Angelina."

"I spent the summer devising a whole new Quidditch program. We are gonna train earlier, harder, and longer. " Oliver states as he walks towards the quidditch field with the rest of the team behind him, all but Samantha who was on the quidditch captains right side.

"You really are trying to kill us aren't you?" Samantha asks with a smirk making Oliver roll his eyes. He shoves her slightly making her laugh.

Fred, George, and Harry all look at each other confused on the twos actions. Samantha and Oliver were acting very different then they did the years before.

Oliver stops when he sees the Slytherins Quidditch team walk onto the field. Oliver grabs Samanthas wrist pulling her closely to him protectively.

The Slytherins had always picked on Samantha every time they could. She was the best chaser in the school, and they always tried to hurt her just enough so she couldn't play. Happened last year when Flint hexed her and she was put in the hospital wing for two weeks.
