Title: Little Orphan Oliver
Oliver Wood was nervous since he was starting Hogwarts. He hadn't grown up with his parents since they died when he was younger. So, he grew up with his spinster squib maternal great aunt. He longed to have siblings. He found solace in Quidditch and soon became obsessed with the sport. After saying goodbye to his aunt he boarded the train. He searched for a compartment and found one where a group of three redheads were sitting.
"Mind if I sit?" He asked.
"No go ahead," the middle redhead replied.
Oliver walked in and sat down.
"So, are you a first year?" The oldest redhead asked.
"Yep!" he exclaimed.
The oldest redhead nodded, gestured towards the youngest redhead who was wearing horn-rimmed glasses and said. "Our brother is also a first year."
"I'm Oliver Wood, nice to meet you!"
The bespectacled redhead looked taken aback slightly and said. "I'm Percy Weasley."
Before the burgeoning friendship could continue a blonde girl interrupted and the oldest redhead ended up leaving with her. The middle redhead also left with a pink-haired witch.
"So, what house do you want to be in?"
"All my family has been in Gryffindor, though I secretly want to be in a different house."
Oliver nodded and said, "My dad was a Gryffindor while my mum was a Hufflepuff."
Percy nodded.
"I wish I had siblings," Oliver sighed.
"You want my younger twin prankster brothers, Fred and George? They're a handful." Percy asked, wryly.
Oliver chuckled. The twosome continued talking as they rode to Hogsmeade station. Once they reached the station, they found a carriage and sat down. Oliver nervously chatted as they waited in line to be sorted.
"Percy Weasley!" the stern Deputy Headmistresses called.
The redhead glanced nervously at his new friend who in turn gave him a thumbs up. Percy walked up to the hat.
"Gryffindor!" the sorting hat yelled.
A few minutes later it was Oliver's turn. He was sorted into Gryffindor as well.
As the year began, he stuck around the Weasley brothers. He could talk Quidditch with both the older Weasleys. Percy comforted him when couldn't join the Quidditch team in November. They were back on the train back home for the holidays. Oliver was chatting with the two older Weasleys while Percy was reading as usual. This became the usual routine as they grew older.
The only thing that changed was that their closeness. They had been dating for a few months. He hadn't officially met Percy's mum and dad yet. When they reached King's Cross, they got off the train and the twosome found Percy's family.
"Mum, dad this is my boyfriend, Oliver Wood."
"It's nice to meet you dear," Molly said.
Oliver had a bigger family than he could've asked for.
