Who: Oliver and Penny When: Wednesday Evening Where: Penny's Place What: Oliver is attempting to be a mate while secretly harboring lustful and romantic thoughts towards Penny. Rating: Low Status: Incomplete
It was almost impossible to stop fancying Penny. Oliver didn't know how he was going to manage it, but he was determined to try. It was obvious (painfully obvious, really) that Penelope wasn't interested in him and if he kept pushing it ran the risk of losing her all together. Not having Penny in his life was far worse than not having his feelings returned. Still, it took Oliver some time to get the courage together to go see her. They'd been through a lot together the last few months and Oliver wasn't going to toss that all away because he had a schoolboy crush.
After closing up QQS for the day, Oliver apparated from Diagon to an alley near Penny's home. He walked the block or so to her front door, trying to forget that the last time he was he was making an ass of himself. Standing in front of the door, Oliver suddenly doubted his idea to come visit. Oliver had fought in a war, coached a Quidditch team and currently ran his own business. So why was this so hard?
Shaking his head, Oliver lifted his hand and knocked.
