Oliver hadn't been sure what to get the girl he had fancied but knew he couldn't have for her birthday. His feelings had cooled quite a bit thanks to his own dismissal of said feelings in favor of not hurting his relationship with her brothers. Or something.

He ended up settling for a voucher for Quality Quidditch supplies, which was about the lamest gift he could think of without being too sentimental. Since when did he think about this shite, anyway.

Walking into the club, Oliver winced as someone bumped into him and subsequently began dancing at him. Tonight should be interesting.

Ginny put her second drink on a nearby table when she spotted Oliver. She moved through the crowd and pulled him away from a spastic dancer as she giggled. She was trying not to fancy him, but, damn, the bloke was handsome. Oh well, she thought as she threw caution to the wind. It was her birthday after all. She kissed his cheek and hugged him tightly.

"Should I be jealous? You show up and don't even offer the birthday girl the first dance with you," she teased. "I'm glad you came."

[rar_oliver]

Oliver hugged Ginny back and laughed. "Um, if you call that dancing. More like full on assault if you ask me."

"Happy birthday, though. This should be a lot of fun. Thanks for inviting me."

[rar_ginny]

Ginny laughed again. She leaned closer to him, and in a low voice she said, "Frankly, it looked a bit painful, and I wouldn't be the least surprised if she throws her back out."

She grabbed his arm and lead him toward the other partygoers. "Of course," she said with a smile. "I wouldn't have a party without inviting you. It's always great to see you. How have you been?" she asked. "Would you like something to eat or drink? Angelina has brought some amazing sweets." As they passed by the table with her drink on it, she picked it up and drank.

[rar_oliver]

"Oh yeah? Sounds great to me. Always can eat."

Oliver frowned as Ginny picked up a drink from a table and drank it as they walked past. He wasn't going to say anything, but he sure hoped there wasn't anyone around slipping something in birds drinks tonight. He'd seen it more times than he'd have cared to.

"Me? I'm fine. Just working and such. Same old. You?"

[rar_ginny]

"I'm great," she said. "I'm looking forward to spending a nice evening with friends. It's great to see everyone. We don't all get together that often."

She smiled over at him as they walked toward the sweets tables. "Look at the cake she made me," Ginny said as she pointed. "She's really good at what she does. Plus the sweets are difficult to stop eating."

Ginny picked up a chocolate covered peanut butter ball and popped it into her mouth. "These are my favorite, I think." She took one step away from Oliver, not having realized how close she was standing. It was difficult enough to have sane thoughts around him without touching him and feeling his body heat against her arm. She swallowed and tried to smile. For certain, she didn't want to seem clingy around him. He was probably used to more sophisticated women

[rar_oliver]

"She's brilliant, yeah. I need to stop by and see her more."

Oliver smiled. "Of course, Birthday girl. Can't have the night pass by without at least one chance to dance, now can we?" He leaned in and kissed her cheek quickly before heading over towards the bar.
