Chapter 4:

Hermione's story wouldn't vanish from his mind even if he was playing Quidditch and that was really something big.

Depressed he would make his hair messier than ever. Currently, he was walking through Hogsmead, trying to lose himself in the memories of his Hogwarts years.

Even the students filling the roads wouldn't let him. Everything reminded him of happier times, of a happier Hermione.

He spotted a mop of messy black hair and green eyes. Harry waved at him and without so much of a second thought Oliver marched over to him, grabbed him at the elbow and dragged him in a dark alley.

"What's wrong Oliver? Has something happened?" he asked concerned, but Oliver didn't want to see this.

"Bloody hell Potter, you have never been one of the smart ones, but I never believed that you were a cold bastard like Malfoy senior."

Shock played across the face of the Men-who-lived-twice. "What-?"

"Don't you dare to play innocent Potter! What have you been thinking, abandoning Hermione?"

The green eyes hardened but glanced guiltily at the bottom.

"What is it for you Oliver?" Angry Harry looked up to his old captain. "You know noth-"

"I know everything" interrupted Oliver harsh.

"Well she-"

"It was never her fault. Tell me Potter, why the hell, are you angry when I can see the guilt clearly in your eyes?" Oliver was still angry but he was going to give the boy a change. What good would it do if he screamed at him; not knowing what had made him angry in the first place?

"Can we go somewhere less dirty?" Harry looked disgusting at the rats that were running around. "Sure."

"If we are going to discuss this, we are going to my house."

Oliver looked confused. "I thought you shared a flat with Ginny?"

Harry's confidence faltered a little before he looked in Oliver's brown eyes.

"I'll tell you, but for now hold on."

In a matter of seconds they were standing in front of Grimmauldplace 12. Without talking the two men walked into the house, passing the door to the kitchen and walking straight into the living room.

"Well now one thing first. Why the hell have you a house, but are paying rent for the flat that you are sharing with your girlfriend?" demanded Oliver after sitting down.

Uncomfortable Harry scratched his neck.

"It is not that I don't want to live with Ginny, but this is everything that I have left from my godfather. It is something that I wouldn't want to be changed too much."

Oliver frowned. "She is your girlfriend right? Why is it that you aren't trusting her enough of not destroying your memories."

Harry gave a heavy sight. "Guess I have to tell you the truth, he? Well Ginny is my girlfriend and Ron my best friend as well as her brother, but they never have seen this old house like I have. The only one that shares my sentiments is Hermione. Maybe that is because we saved Sirius together, maybe it is because she really knows me. I don't know, all I know is that she never abandoned me."

Oliver waited patiently till Harry would talk again. He wasn't somebody to press these things. With sad eyes The-man-who-wouldn't-die stares at the fire which was roaring in the fireplace.

"It was wrong of me not to support her. I have been angry and felt betrayed the first two or three weeks, but I never had the heart to apologize. Sometime after I felt guilty cause I saw her everyday and knew how miserable she was, but the behavior of Ginny and Ron forced me to stay away."

"You are a bloody coward Potter. Nothing more, nothing less." Oliver stated.

"I know I am, but I would loose my best friend and my girlfriend."

Angry Oliver jumped out of his seat and walked threateningly over to Harry. "Hermione lost her two best friends and had no one to stand beside her if it wasn't for Fred and George to stay by her side. If you would have stand up for Hermione you would still have her."

With big understanding eyes Harry nodded.

"I really messed up, didn't I?" he asked all of sudden very tired.

Grabbing the tired boy, Oliver heaved him up and pulled him outside.

"You aren't going to sit there and do nothing. You will try to fix this Potter, or else…" her trailed of but Harry understood him nonetheless.

"She needs you more than ever. She lost her baby Potter without anyone to pick up the pieces. I hope you understand this. Fix it or I will make sure there will be nothing left to be fixed from you."

With this they appeared in front of Hermione's flat.

Oliver knocked very loud whilst Harry coward behind him, not sure how to meet his friend and certainly not ready to see her hurt and disappointment.

Shoving Harry in as soon the door was opened by Hermione Oliver smiled at her.

"A little present to make you less lonely."

With that he disappeared in thin air leaving a confused Hermione and a panicking Harry behind.

Well here the real story starts…
