Date: Monday, September 2, 1999 Characters: Oliver Wood, Alicia Spinnet Location: Vinewood Terrace, Hawthorne Park Status: Private Summary: Oliver and Alicia go for a run. Completion: complete
Alicia wasn't usually a heavy sleeper. Even the smallest movements and sounds were often enough to wake her up for at least a brief second. She usually dropped right off to sleep with no trouble, but she rarely overslept an alarm anymore. She didn't even have it set particularly loudly.
But this morning, she'd forgotten to set the charm. And so she woke up not in her bed, but tumbling out of it, far too late to stop herself from crashing to the floor, blankets and all.
Oliver pressed his ear to the door, grabbing his wand as he did so. There wasn't another noise after the crash, but still...what if someone had broken in?
Unlocking the door with a quick charm, he pushed it in with his shoulder and looked quickly around the flat, trying to stay quiet. He wasn't an Auror, that was for damn sure, but he could hex a bastard if need be, or punch them.
He didn't see anything, so Oliver ran back to Alicia's room only to see her laying on the floor, wrapped up in her blankets. "Bloody hell, Al."
"Oliver?" Al peered up at him and rubbed her back. She wasn't hurt, only stunned. She'd had enough real injuries to tell her that. But it was still a shock and mildly painful.
"How did you...oh, of course," she stopped herself, remembering that she'd given him access to her flat ages ago, along with a few others. She'd never removed it, and it would've been quite simple for him to push past her wards with the right charm.
"Sorry about this," she said, shaking her head dazedly, pressing a hand to her forehead. "Am I horribly late?"
Oliver bent down to check her head, just to be sure. He'd performed enough healing charms while in the pros and at Hogwarts to at least know the basics, not that looking at her head would really tell him anything.
"No, fifteen minutes or so. I heard the crash and was worried. Sorry to scare you." He ran a hand through his hair and stood up. Extending his hand to her, he gave her a sympathetic look. "You okay?"
