Y/N's P.O.V:
Christmas break was over, and luckily Oliver still hadn't found out about the make out session with Flint, but in my defence I was protecting Harry and Ron. Either way eventually I had to tell him, but who knows when eventually was.
And somehow we made it to Valentine's Day, the worst day of the year. The great hall was decorated in pink and red hearts all over, I gagged as I walked along side Katie. She chuckled. "Not a fan of Valentine's Day?" I shook my head. "Never had a reason to celebrate, still don't" We went to the Gryffindor table and sat side by side, Oliver on my other side. "Happy Valentine's Day everyone!" I turned to look at Lockhart and his pink robes, they were truly annoying, he was truly annoying. "And thank you to all the fan mail I've received" Giggles arose from the hall, I rolled my eyes. "Now as a celebration for being your professor I have hired tiny friends to deliver poems" I gagged as dwarves walked in with white wings and pink bows. "Happy Valentine's Day" I groaned and everyone started to run outside. I heard footsteps behind me. "Happy Valentine's Day L/N" Oliver's face contorted into anger. "Flint" He leaned against the table blocking my view from everything else. "How about we sneak of like last time L/N?" I clenched my jaw, I could feel Oliver's eyes on me. "How about you leave?" He leaned closer to me. "She said to leave Flint" Flint glared at Oliver. "I'm not talking to you Wood" Oliver stood up abruptly. "Leave Flint" He sneered and left as Oliver sat back down. "What did he mean by last time L/N?" I took a deep breath. "Jealous Wood?" His ears turned pink, I leaned closer so only he could hear. "I'll tell you later" He looked at me and nodded. "I'm gonna go practice quidditch" We all nodded and he left. "Your soulmate isn't a fan of Valentine's Day either L/N" I rolled my eyes, and grabbed my pumpkin juice, I loved the smell of pumpkin juice, but this time it smelt different, like wet dog. "Angelina?" She looked up from her plate at me. "Yes?" I handed her the pumpkin juice. "What does it smell like to you?" She smelled the pumpkin juice. "Firework powder? That's a weird smell for a juice" I grabbed the juice back. "That's because it's not only pumpkin juice" I walked to the Slytherin table with the pumpkin juice. I went to Flint and his friends. "Oi Fling!" he turned to me smirking. "Change your mind L/N?" I smirked and poured the contents of the pumpkin juice on his head, the entire Slytherin table started laughing, while Flint glared at me. "Enjoy your love potion" All the hall erupted in cheer and laughter, with a few wolf whistles while I walked back to the Gryffindor table.
I went to class normally, but before I could reach History of Magic a dwarf caught up to me. "Are you Y/N L/N?" I nodded and he sighed opening his mouth to say something but I cut him off. "Don't bother, not interested in the poem, just go to whoever is next on your list" I walked away but he grabbed my wrist. "Can't let ya leave without hearing it" I rolled my eyes and sighed crossing my arms.
"Eyes as pretty as the stars
Cheeks as pink as flowers
I know you're a little odd
But you make my heart flutter"
Giggles arose from the halls as the dwarf finished. "You done?" He nodded and left, everyone was surrounding me. "Anyone care to claim the poem or can I leave to my class?" No one stepped forward so I just walked to my class.
Before lunch I had received three more dwarves, all of them unclaimed. I groaned as I placed my head on the edge of the table. "You okay L/N?" I didn't even need to look up to recognize that accent, Oliver's accent. "No" He intertwined our fingers under the table. "Was it related to what Flint said earlier?" I shook my head still resting it on the table. "I received 4 dwarves in just a few hours, why can't people give it a rest?" He sighed rubbing his thumb over my knuckles. "I feel you, I got three of them, it was a bit annoying" I finally lifted my head. "And worst of all, no one wants to claim them!" He sighed. "There I can't help you, mine have all been claimed" I groaned and rested my head against the table again, he patted my back. I sat up and Oliver chuckled beside me. "What?" He pointed at my forehead, I could just assume that the edge of the table had left a mark. "Don't even" He raised his hands in surrender and grabbed a sandwich, I grabbed the pumpkin juice, smelling it again, it smelled like wet dog, I groaned. "What?" I handed him the pumpkin juice. "What do you smell?" He smelled it. "Pumpkin pasties, why?" I blushed a bit, Percy was right with the amorentia thing. "It's amorentia" He blushed as well, I sighed and stood up raising the pumpkin juice. "Who's amorentia is this?!" I yelled, the hall went silent, eyed farting everywhere. I sighed and sat down again. "That's enough c'mon" Oliver grabbed my wrist and guided me out of the great hall. "Where are you taking me?" He kept darting through the halls. "Away from Valentine's Day" I sighed happily. "My saviour" He looked and smiled at me, nearly crashing into a dwarf. Luckily I grabbed his other free hand just in time and pulled him away from the dwarf, but that cause him to crash onto my chest, making me fall back, but he caught me by the waist. We both blushed at our proximity. "Are you Oliver Wood?" The dwarf had to interrupt, we pulled away from each other as he sighed. "Yeah" The dwarf shifted. "I have a-" He sighed massaging the bridge of his nose. "Just it over with" The dwarf nodded and cleared his throat.
"A good flyer
It is no doubt
Will you come meet me at the start
Where our love begun.
By Jade Wentworth" The dwarf grumbled and left. "Hufflepuff, fifth year" He looked at me with an impressed look. "You dated her too?" He chuckled and draped an arm around my shoulders. "Nope, saved her when she fell off her broom during a game" I nodded. "Should I be worried?" He smirked and kissed my temple. "Not at all" I smirked as well. "Should I be worried about Fling?" I sighed. "Not one bit".
That's when I noticed where we were. "I thought you were taking me away from the romance, this place seems pretty romantic to me" He chuckled as we walked behind the tree so no one would see us. "I said away from Valentine's Day" I chuckled and looked over at the lake, I tensed up at the memory. Oliver seemed to notice since he cupped my cheek softly forcing me to look at him. "I'll protect you, don't worry" I chuckled. "Promise?" He leaned closer so our noses were now touching. "Promise" He then kissed me, I immediately kissed back, my hands running through his hairs, but someone cleared their throat next to us. We jumped away from each other just to see a dwarf. "Y/N L/N?" I sighed while a Oliver rubbed the back of his neck. "Sadly. Just get on with it" He cleared his throat.
"You might be rejecting me
But deep down I know you love me
I'll reveal myself
If you promise to date me"
I sighed crossing my arms over my chest. "Let me guess, unclaimed" He nodded. "I'll tell him not to bother anymore" He pointed at both of us, I sighed. "Please do" The dwarf left. "Please tell you aren't the one sending those retched dwarves" Oliver chuckled. "Not at all. If I wanted to do something romantic for you I would lock up Flint in a classroom and let you beat him again" I smirked. "You know me so well" He smirked back our noses touching again. "Now where were we?" I leaned closer our lips brushing together. "Right there" I kissed him and he kissed back, pulling me as close as I could get.
I somehow survived the rest of the day, dwarves kept coming with more poems and more embarrassment, but I survived until dinner. "Hello L/N" I groaned back at Angelina. "That bad?" I nodded and grabbed a piece of bread. "This wretched dwarves have been appearing way too many times today. And the guy won't even show himself" I sighed and grabbed the pumpkin juice again, it had amorentia again, I handed it to Angelina, she took it and smelled it. "Firework powder" I nodded, she handed me the pumpkin juice back. "They've also been trying to slip amorentia into my juice all day, I haven't drunk anything all day!" Suddenly I felt two presences behind me. "Hello Y/N/N" I sighed. "Freddie, Georgie" "We heard about your Valentine's problem" Fred started. "So we came to offer our pranking services" I chuckled. "When I figure out who it is, you guys have full permission to prank him, I'll keep the prefects of your back" They clapped my back. "Nice doing business with you" They left, leaving a faint smell of firework powder, I looked at Angelina smirking. "Firework powder?" She blushed and looked down. "Shut up" I laughed grabbing the pumpkin juice. "I ain't judging" I nearly drank the pumpkin juice but I remembered the love potion and groaned. "What's got you so angry L/N?" I groaned and handed Oliver the pumpkin juice, he smelled it. "Pumpkin pasties? Amorentia again?" I nodded and he sat down next to me, he sighed. "You haven't been able to drink anything all day?" I shook my head resting my head against my hand. He sighed and grabbed his pumpkin juice, he smelled it and then handed it to me. "Amorentia free" I reluctantly took it. "What about you?" He shook his head. "I'll survive" I nodded in thanks and drank the pumpkin juice, Angelina was smirking at us but her gaze then landed on someone behind me.
That someone cleared their throat, I turned to face my third year crush, Zachary King, a Hufflepuff. I stopped liking him when I realized he played girls, but I hadn't kept tabs on him since I started liking Oliver. "King" He smirked and winked. "Sure am" Oliver grumbled beside me, I had to contain a laugh. "You know what I meant" He smiled warmly. "I know" I crossed my arms over my chest. "What can I do for you King?" He smirked. "Did you like my poems?" I heard Oliver drop his fork next to me while I raised my eyebrows. "It was you?" He nodded. "You've been annoying the hell out of me all day?" He rubbed his neck. "Sorry, I thought you would find it romantic" I sighed. "Were you the one that slipped amorentia into my juice?" He shook his head confusedly. "I had nothing to do with that" I sighed. "You still haven't answered my question" He sighed and took my hand, Oliver tensed Yo beside me, again I had to stifle a laugh. "I've been meaning to ask since third year. Will you be my girlfriend?" All eyes were now on us, and Oliver was definitely two steps away from punching him. "King-" He smiled. "Zach" I sighed taking my hand back. "I'm sorry, but no" He stood up straight adjusting his tie, uuu's arose from the hall. (A/N: How the he'll do you describe that sound? 😂). "Sorry" He shook his head. "It's fine. Can I at least ask who's the lucky guy?" I shook my head biting my lip, it took all my willpower to not look at Oliver. "Well, make sure to tell him he's lucky" I nodded. "I will" He then left back to the Hufflepuff table, I turned back to see Angelina with her mouth wide open. "You just rejected the hottest guy in the school" I nodded. "I need some air" Oliver spoke abruptly and left.
I shook my head drinking the pumpkin juice. "Why?" I looked down at the cup, thinking of Oliver. "Not my type" I looked up at Angelina, who was smirking. "You're un love with someone else" I drank the rest of my pumpkin juice and stood up. "I'm going to sleep" She chuckled. "Night L/N".
I walked the hallways alone, when I heard laughter coming from a corridor next to me. I found a bunch of Ravenclaws of different ages levitating a pair of shoes to the roof, I recognized those shoes as Luna's. "Oi!" They turned to face me. "What are you lot doing?" They looked at each other. "Leave before I go find a prefect" The younger ones ran away but the ones in my year stood their ground. "Leave L/N" I took out my wand and pointed it at them, sending one of them flying. They looked at me with terrified expressions and ran away. I levitated the shoes back down just as Luna walked in the corridor. "Hello Y/N" I turned to her with a smile. "Hey Luna" She pointed at her shoes. "You found my shoes" I handed them over to her with a smile. "Sure did" She smiled and took them, walking away. I felt sorry for the girl, but I was going to defend her as best I could.
The last match of the season was coming up, Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor. Which meant a whole lot of rivalry between the houses, and a whole lot of flirting and kissing between Oliver and me. Just to blow off steam.
I was running to the pitch with my broom in hand, ready to beat Gryffindor. But just before I could make it to the pitch Hermione caught up with me. "Y/N meet me in the library! It's urgent!" Before I could reply she ran off, I groaned and ran towards the pitch with my broom. On the way I found Cho. "Cho!" She turned to face me. "Hello Y/N" I panted slightly as I handed her my broom. "Can you take my broom, I have some stuff to do" She looked at me worriedly. "Will you make it on time?" I nodded. "Yeah, tell the rest of the team to warm up while I arrive, and if they don't listen, hex them" She nodded and I ran towards the library to meet up with Hermione.
I went to the library, still in my quidditch attire, the game just minutes away. I ran through the library until I found Hermione and Penelope Clearwater hunching over a book. "Hermione? Clearwater?" They looked up from the book. "Y/N! Great you're here, come have a look at this" I hunched over the book as well, it was open on a page talking about a basilisk. "A basilisk?" Hermione nodded. "That's the creature that's in the chamber, the creature that's killing muggleborns" I shrugged as Clearwater nodded. "It makes sense if you think of it. It's basically a giant snake, and the only way to travel through all the school quickly is by the pipes, which means the only creature that could fit would have to be a snake" I leaned against the table scanning the page. "The only thing we can't seem to figure out is how they're not dead. The basilisk kills when it looks at you in the eye, but they're not dead just petrified" Something clicked inside my mind. "Reflection" I whispered deep in thought. "What?" I jumped abruptly. "Reflection! They never looked at the basilisk directly, they saw it through water and a ghost and a camera" Hermione and Clearwater looked at each other smiling. "Let's go tell Ron and Harry!" "Or better yet a professor" I nodded as Hermione grabbed the mirror that was set on the table, I heard her gasp and I looked in the mirror as well. The last thing I saw was a pair of yellow eyes in the reflection of the mirror.
Oliver's P.O.V:
We were walking onto the pitch, ready for the big entrance. I was extremely nervous, this was the first game I was playing against Ravenclaw in the entire year, and judging by how the rest of the matches went, they were prepared.
As soon as the pitch was in view I noticed the Ravenclaw team huddled up, looking extremely distressed. "The match has been cancelled!" I looked at McGonnagall walking in front of us, blocking our path. "What? But you can't cancel quidditch!" She looked at me with a sympathetic look. "I'm afraid I can" She looked at Harry with the same look. "Potter please go get mr. Weasley the matter concerns you" Harry nodded and ran off to find Ron. "I believe it concerns you too mr. Wood" I nodded and handed Angelina my broom. McGonnagall walked away and I followed her.
Harry and Ron joined us halfway through to wherever they were taking us. Then I realized the path was to the medical wing, my nerves started rising. "Poppy" Mcgonagall nodded towards Madam Pomfrey, she nodded back. McGonnagall softly grabbed Harry and Ron's shoulders guiding them to a bed, Madam Pomfrey grabbed my arm and guided me to another bed. She sighed and then opened the curtains, that's when my heart stopped.
In the bed laid Y/N, petrified. I gripped the end of the bed so I wouldn't collapse, I could faintly hear Madam Pomfrey calling out to me, but I wasn't paying attention, my heart was racing (and not in the good way), my eyes were filling with tears, and my breathing became ragged. My only thought was that I couldn't protect her, I hadn't kept my promise, that whatever was in the chamber had gotten to her, and I had lost her. "Y-Y-Y/N..." Madam Pomfrey sighed rubbing circles on my back. "I'm sorry Wood" A tear fell out of my eye as I looked at her. I had lost her.
