Oakey looked at Nate as the younger Hufflepuff ran back to their Dormitory.
WAIT! CAT! Oakey hesitated a look back when Nate had mentioned his cat. Oakey had just gotten one during Christmas break and now his little fella was usually sleeping in the Boy's Dorm. Charmer wasn't very good with other cats yet. Oakey was nervous that if Charmer saw Nate's cat it would be the end of the world. He was going to rush back into the dorm right behind Nate to make sure his cat was still sleeping soundly on his bed and not...well cat fighting.
But then he felt something brush up against his foot. Oakey looked down to see a black kitten.
Charmer. Oakey said rather relieved that his cat had decided to wake up and walk around for a bit. Picking his new good luck charm up into his arms and began petting the little guy.

Alyssa smiled when she saw Oakey. She was glad that he had been able to play under short notice. "You played really well Oakey, considering the short notice you were given. Thanks for agreeing to play. Nah...I was just lucky with the bat and the bludger today. I just hope that the players that got hit by it aren't too seriously hurt. I didn't even stop to check and ask."
"Thanks again, Nate." Alyssa laughed as she saw him run up to check on his cat. 'His cat must be pretty angry with him if he's so worried that he had to check on it. How much damage can a cat make?'Alyssa thought to herself.
Right! Luck, that's what it was. Oakey was lucky all through out that game. Aside from Gideon's broom smacking Oakey's beater hand hard (which didn't hurt to much or bruise to badly). He Took a look at Harvey's Quidditch goggles resting around his neck and scratched Charmer behind his ears. These weren't charmed like his rabbit's foot was, but Oakey felt that they played an integral role as good luck charms for him today.
I disagree with you there, Alyssa, It doesn't take luck... at least not for you
...to direct a Bludger at a Gryffindor two years older then you and knock'em right off their broom. Quote:

Sliding into the common room, Fina glanced around, looking for some of those who played quidditch today. She didn't want to have a big party, since that might jinx them, but there was nothing wrong being a bit giddy over their win. And there was Alyssa....and Oakey too, but she was sure he was just filling in. Wasn't he? Maybe?
"Congratulations," she said, making her way over to the two beaters. "Where's Captain Marius?" and the little one who caught the golden snitch. And Treyen. She wanted them ALL here.
Then their Head of House walked in to join in their small celebration.
Again, I really didn't do much. But thank you Professor. Come on downplay his performance, Oakey didn't want the spotlight on himself. If everyone kept quiet about how well he played, Oakey won't speak a word of it anywhere and Harvey would never know that he went against his order not to play Quidditch.
