Drop in the Ocean

Joyce Cadogan, about to enter her sixth year in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry tipped over her trunk as she was looking for her best friend in the crowded station of King's Cross. "Where the hell is she? Maybe she's already on platform 9 3/4," she told herself. So, she found the solid barrier between Platform 9 and 10 and walk right through it and there in front of her was her best friend's smiling face, Celeni Christensen.

"Celeni!"

"Oh I missed you so much!" Celeni said in reply

"How was France?! How I wish you were with me in Dublin."

"Well, yeah, I wanted to see The Corrs!"

"Who are they?"

"Didn't your mum tell you?"

"No, my mum likes pop music."

"Queer... my parents both dig the old stuff... oh well."

Then right across them stood the burly and handsome sixth year Gryffindor Keeper Oliver Wood, who was engrossed in the book that was covered Quidditch Career Paths.

"Oh my gawd... is it just me or is Oliver getting more attractive this year?" Joyce said.

"So you noticed too! I was staring at him for a couple of minutes now. By the way, didn't you receive the owl from Ethan? Ethan chose us to be reserves this season." Celeni informed her friend.

"Great! I tried to borrow my dad's broom in Dublin but he wouldn't let me because he said it had sentimental value. You know my dad of course, he used to play as a Chaser in Puddlemere United."

"Of course, who wouldn't know the legendary Kevin Cadogan, I've read all about him in Successful Quidditch Players for background knowledge on the game when we tried for our team."

"I'm still sad that they didn't consider putting me in the main line up... maybe I only got 25% of the flying gene from my dad."

"Well at least you had... thanks for giving me tips anyway. I love flying. Literally."

Then, their beautiful view was disrupted as a guy made his way to the crowd. He was rushing and accidentally bumps both girls' trunk and Celeni and her glasses fell and shattered.

"You moron! Look what you did to my friend's glasses!" Joyce exploded in rage.

"Don't worry Joyce, I can fix this." Celeni said in reply while that person realized the mess he had done.

"No! It's his entire fault! He should fix it." Joyce said.

"Oh my... I am so sorry. What could I do?" Oliver said.

"Look you what you've caused. You owe my friend an apology Mr... Mr..." before Joyce could finish her sentence, she let out a loud gasp.

"I did apologize, OK? I don't know what your problem is but I sure don't owe you one."

"But look at what you did to my trunk!" Joyce exclaimed even though a hot guy was battling with her.

"OK, OK, look that's why we learn magic..." then Oliver mutters an incantation and placed everything back to normal.

"Thanks Oliver." Celeni said. "And apology accepted."

"Bye. And by the way, how did you know my name?" Oliver asked.

"Who wouldn't know the famous Oliver Wood? By the way I'm Celeni and this is Joyce from Ravenclaw. We're in Sixth Year too but we never had class together." Celeni said in reply.

"Very well then, I'll guess be seeing you and I mean both of you in school." Then the Keeper brushed through the crowds and made his way to his friends.

"Oh what a stuck up." Joyce said.

"I think he's nice."

"Whatever Celeni. Yeah, he has fame all over his head."

"But awhile ago you just said that he was so attractive."

"Well, everything changes."

Dropping the topic Celeni says, "Hey there's Ethan! Hey Ethan!"

"Hey where were you guys, I've saved us a compartment." Ethan said in reply.

"Wow, that's so sweet of you. Let's go Cel."

Celeni gives a puzzled look over at Joyce and they walked in the crowded platform and found their way to the compartment Ethan was talking about. It was an appeasing site for a tempered Joyce and a puzzled Celeni.
