Drop in the Ocean

Celeni was going to class when suddenly she realized that she forgot her essay on Dementors on the Great Hall.

“You go ahead Joyce, you might be late for our Defense Against Dark Arts class. I’m sure you would want to meet Lockhart.”

So Celeni ran straight to the Great Hall not minding the people who were in the corridor. She wanted to maintain her straight As. As she sighted the hall, she ran as fast as she could and then KABLAM! She bumped someone, sweeping that person off his or her feet.

“Oh, sorry, I….”

“It’s alright…” a young boy said as if he can see stars.

“Oliver, it is you! I’m very sorry, I forgot my homework here in the Great Hall.” Then Celeni blushed.

“It’s alright Celeni. I was about to go to class, but when I checked my essay again, it was ½ inches short than what was required.”

Celeni rushed to the Ravenclaw table and got her essay while Oliver Wood was picking his things up. All his stuff was scattered on the floor, and Celeni feeling sorry, helped him.

“Oh no! I’m late for Defense Against Dark Arts!!”

Celeni looked at him as if she was going to kiss him.

“We’re in the same class!” shouted Celeni. “Let’s go together.”

The two of them set off to Lockhart’s class. They were 20 minutes late. They knew it was trouble but at least if they got detention, there will be two of them.

Celeni entered the classroom first.

“Ah miss Christensen, you are late! We were just discussing how I destroyed that werewolf. Because of this I will take 10 points from Raven…” Lockhart stopped as Oliver entered. Oliver was holding a pink comb that was heart shaped. Everyone looked at him in surprise, was he gay? Joyce & Ethan knew that the comb belonged to Celeni.

“Oh! It’s from my sister…” Wood immediately said, then blushed.

“Normally I will take off points from your houses but I think I’ll reconsider this time. Nothing can beat love.” Said Lockhart “We just paired up, you two can be pairs.”

Both of them sat down, very reddish. The girls from Ravenclaw looked at Celeni and giggled, as if telling her that she scored. The boys from Gryffindor were smiling, happy that Wood found something other than Quidditch, the girls however were not pleased.

Everyone was in the Great Hall. The Gryffindor table was a bit dull until Percy arrived.

“Wow, Oliver! What an entrance a while ago.”

“Entrance?” Harry asked

“Oh, he entered with a girl from Ravenclaw!”

“Wood I heard you have a girlfriend!” Katie roared.

Everyone opened their mouth. Wood burried his face under the book he was reading and went away.

“What the hell were you doing with him?” Joyce roared, silencing the whole Ravenclaw common room.

“We just bumped to each other!”

“Then fell in love?” Ethan smirked. Joyce and Ethan laughed so hard. Celeni went away.

She went down to the garden and saw Oliver. She tried to ignore him but she was drawn to him.

“Are you mad?” Celeni asked. “I mean angry… mad… not crazy”

“Huh? No why would I? Here’s your comb. I think it was my fault since I did not wait until you were seated. I hope they’re not teasing you.” Oliver said sensitively.

“They are..”
