Notes: Also, for the Speed drabble thread at Hogwarts forum. Prompt: Skillfully, Salad, Velocity, Captain, Player
Oliver was a Quidditch player. He was the Captain of the Gryffindor team. He wasn't supposed to have inappropriate feelings about his 13-year old seeker, no matter how skillfully he handled his broom and how much velocity – no matter how improbable – he was able to gain.
He wasn't supposed to find a 13-year old cute, not when he was 17-years old. He wasn't supposed to wonder what the 13-year old might look like when totally debauched. His eyes weren't supposed to be riveted to a 13-year old's lips when he ate salad, licking the dressing off of his lips, not realizing how sexy of a picture he made.
But then again, Oliver was all of that with one Harry Potter and it took all of his self-control to not do something about his feelings. He didn't feel like being arrested for making inappropriate moves on a minor.
Oliver was relieved when he left school as he wasn't sure how long he'd be able to stop himself. When he saw Harry at the Quidditch World Cup, he kept his distance.
The next time he truly saw Harry was after the final battle. Oliver thought his feelings were probably gone, but they all came back when he got close to the savior of the wizarding world. He felt his heart shudder and all he wanted was to take Harry into his arms.
He got away as soon as possible. A couple of days passed and Katie found him. "I have a message to pass on since you disappeared."
"What's up?" Oliver asked.
"Harry would like you to meet him at the Leaky Cauldron for dinner tomorrow night. He expects it to be a date."
"Really?" Oliver asked hopefully.
"Really." And then Katie was gone.
Oliver smiled. Maybe it hadn't been totally one-sided.
