So, according to the Hindu Calendar, today is the day where Indians celebrate to honor Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities of Hinduism. According to Hindu mythology, the Lord performs the heavenly dance of creation, preservation and destruction on this day, also known as Shiv Tandav and devotees pray, chant, meditate and fast all day and night of Mahashivratri as a sign of devotion for peace and divine consciousness and don't eat anything for the whole day. Yes, I'm fasting and won't be eating anything for the whole day, it's like a tradition for me to fast on this day

Today was the day of Mahashivratri where you'd be fasting as a sign of devotion to one of the gods in Indian mythology, Lord Shiva. It was like a tradition you'd followed ever since you were little. You were currently getting ready for Quidditch practice with the rest of the Gryffindor team and you walked to the Quidditch stadium with the Patil twins, Parvati and Padma. You asked them if they'd be doing the 'vrat' today as in fasting for the day and both of them replied no. However when they asked you if you'd be fasting for the day, you replied 'yes' and that's when you piped up Oliver's interest. He asked you what it meant and you replied that today was the day you'd be fasting or not eat anything for the whole day since it was like a tradition for you, a sign of devotion from you to Lord Shiva and while you filled Oliver in about the traditions of Shivratri, he was enthralled and yet concerned for you at the same time

Enthralled because your culture was so fascinating and interesting. There was so many different ways people showed their devotion and he had no clue about it till you told him. Concerned because he wasn't really fond of the idea of you not eating anything for the whole day, you'd even refused to eat fruits and drink anything other than water. While Oliver was really impressed with your will power and determination to honor the gods, he was also worried if you'd somehow get tired from not eating anything for the whole day and if you'd be all right

He being the caring and overprotective friend he was voiced out his concern, he did not like the idea of his darling, aka. YOU, going an entire day without eating. You'd get weak, you wouldn't do well in Quidditch, you'd get injured and hurt and that's something your future husband can't bear to see. Yes, he does admire and appreciate your effort but at what cost? Your health and life? And yet he can't really voice out his displeasure because it's your tradition and belief and he doesn't want to sound like he was against it, whatever made you happy, he would gladly put up with it, provided you wouldn't get hurt by it

He put his arm around you gently and asked you in a soft voice to at least eat some fruits or something, but nope, you remained firm and rigid with your decision. You were sitting with the rest of the Quidditch team after practice and Angelina was puzzled as to why you weren't having your lunch. "Y/N, why aren't you eating something?" she asked you and you replied "Oh, I won't be eating anything today. It's the day of Shivratri and I won't be eating anything till tomorrow'' and now Oliver was growing more and more concerned. "Y/N, what if you faint in the middle of the day? As much as your will power is impressive, nothing should happen to you'' and you just sighed and told him you'd be all right

Oliver then thought of an idea. Why should you have to go through this alone? He can also fast with you so you both would be in this together, like an actual husband and wife. Besides he's already done the research about the festival and it's like a way of a couple being in a relationship together and overcoming obstacles with each other and emerging strong in life. So, he's already planned it out, why not he fast with you? You can also see him in such a way where he'd be willing to do anything for you, his beloved future wife

Oliver didn't touch his lunch either and you looked at him confused and asked him why he wasn't eating. He grabbed your hands and gently smiled at you and replied "I'll be fasting too. Or more commonly referred to in your native language, performing the 'vrat' with you, I'd like to honor Lord Shiva with you as well'' and you were surprised. This was rather unexpected, you didn't expect Oliver to be doing this with you but nonetheless you smiled at him and asked him if he'd be all right. He waved his hand in a sign of dismissal that he'd be all right but you were his main priority

You told him whatever you knew about Lord Shiva and he was enthralled with all the stories and tales of him. He's really powerful and yet good natured at the same time, Oliver liked him. And when he listened to the chant of the Shiv Tandav (Lord Shiva's cosmic dance of destruction) and other songs composed by people as a devotion to Lord Shiva, he could actually feel at peace and he could feel the positive vibrations, it felt rather powerful

After classes were done, you decided to calm your mind to do some classical dance and you began to do the Shiv Tandav(Lord Shiva's cosmic dance of destruction) near the Great Lake. Being around nature always made you feel calm and Oliver watched it and he felt blessed to be in front of you as you were dancing. However you were dancing in an open space where other people could see you and you heard some Slytherin holler something unpleasant about you which made you feel self conscious of yourself and Oliver heard it as well and he was not happy. AT ALL. Him being pissed was literally the understatement of the freaking century

He told you to keep doing your dance and he'd just have a little 'talk' with the moron who'd just yelled at you and by a little 'talk' I mean him pulling out his wand and hexing him and then punching him in the face as a final touch for talking nonsense about you like that. How dare he? No one gets to bad mouth his darling and expects to get away with it. Then Oliver didn't like the idea of you dancing in a public space anymore, there might be other idiots who would try doing something to you and your dance is for his eyes only. Don't worry darling, you can dance as much as you want when he brings you home and makes you his wonderful wife, which won't be very long

You were done with your dance in a matter of minutes and he clapped, you looked so heavenly like an angel when you danced. By then it was the evening and it was the time of twilight and the moon was also out. You excitedly tapped Oliver on his shoulder and showed him the moon and it looked beautiful. It was a full moon and it looked quite romantic indeed. You asked Oliver if he was feeling all right since he didn't eat anything for quite a while and he was so freaking elated, you were concerned for him! How nice and endearing. But he was fine, he was glad that he was doing this with you

And when you held his hand in his and hugged him as you thanked him for doing this with you, he was a flustered and blushing mess. He was happy that you were seeing him in a whole new light, and it proved that you trusted him as someone who would be with you at every step of the way in life. Oh, he can't wait to get married to you but the first thing he needs to make sure is after you go home, you get something to eat after the day is done. And he'll make something for you and leave it at your bedside table, even if he has to sneak in your dorm. What? He's practicing to be your kind and caring husband and the first thing he'd do after you're finally with him is he'd thank Lord Shiva for giving him the chance to prove himself to you, how much of a supportive husband he can be and that he's willing to do anything for you, even going as far as killing someone for you, exactly like how he would kill the Slytherin guy for saying those mean stuff to you
