“Oliver, you’ll do fine,” Katie said. She walked up to Oliver and kissed him on the cheek.
“No worries Oliver,” said Alicia, who then kissed him on the other cheek.
“What they said,” said Angelina, before she kissed him on the cheek as well.
Oliver was not longer frozen, and was blushing quite a bit. He looked almost inspired enough to play, but lingering doubt was apparent. Of course George Weasley knew just what to say to make sure Oliver entered the pitch with confidence, or at least great speed.
As Angelina stepped back, George stepped up to Oliver, put his hands on the Keeper’s shoulders, and said very solemnly, “Tongue or no tongue?”
If Oliver doesn’t make it in Quidditch, I don’t think he’d have a problem getting on England’s Olympic track team. He also did a very impressive shrug-spin-dodge move, to escape from George, which may indicate he missed a calling to rugby as well. I had to purposely smash my foot into the door frame to keep from laughing, but I was worried it would start me vomiting.
The girls were still giggling when we got to the centre of the field. Oliver was already hovering in the air, well out of reach of the Weasleys, and shooting them suspicious looks.
