Falling In *An Oliver Wood One-Shot*

Don't look down, it's only love

Baby, that we're falling in

OLIVER POV

“I’m going to ask her today at breakfast.” Is what I told the guys while we got dressed.

“Okay, after Transfiguration.” I said that after breakfast ended, with Jennifer waling back to her table.

“Charms?” That was after I chickened out during Transfig, where we even sat next to each other.

“Definitely before Herbology.” I assured them. So in the corridor, I approached her. She was reading a book, her auburn bangs falling in her left eye. I wanted to brush them back, have her smile at me, and then lean in to kiss her-

But it’d be best to ask her out first I suppose. I reached her and she looked up and grinned at me.

“Hey, Oliver.” She brushed her hair from her eyes. “What’s up?”

“Not much. Listen, Jen in was wondering-” I began. She raised an eyebrow. That infuriating eyebrow.

“If I could-er, borrow your Charms-er notes?”

“Sure. No problem.” She gave me an odd look and handed them to me, before smiling one last time and turning around.

“Thanks!” I called out past her. She shook her head and I knew she heard me. So it wasn’t my original question, but there are plenty of opportunities to ask her out, right?

Right?

　

　

　

I'm standing in your driveway

It's midnight and I'm sideways

To find out if you feel the same

Won't be easy, have my doubts too

But it's over, without you I'm just lost, incomplete

Yeah you feel like home, home to me

JENNIFER’S POV

“You mean you don-”

“He didn’t as-”

“You mean you have no-”

“Idea what we’re talking about?”

I was annoyed, to say the least. “Obviously I don’t or I wouldn’t be so confused.”

They glanced at each other and spoke in a rush.

“Forget we were here.”

“Forget what we said.”

“We were never here.”

Then they hurried off, back to the castle. I was so confused. Then I shook my head and laughed at myself. It must be a prank. It was Fred and George, after all. But I couldn’t help asking myself:

Who was “he”?

Every time I see your face

My heart takes off on a high speed chase

Now don't be scared, it's only love

That we're falling in

OLIVER’S POV

I was cornered as I walked to the common room after classes, by an agitated Fred and George.

They pulled me behind a tapestry and George asked me, “Definitely before Herbology, eh?”
