I spy with my little eye, a long time rivalry fading into the past as a new love begins to blossom. From stolen glances on the pitch in the middle of an important match to sneaking around in dark corners of the local pubs late at night, it would appear these enemies have moved past friends and right on to something more.

"Have you seen this?" Draco asked, holding out the parchment piece to Blaise and Theo as he rounded the corner into the common room.

"Seen what?" Theo replied, snatching the parchment out of his hands and skimming it over. He glanced up at Draco with a raised brow. "Who do you think she's talking about?"

Draco shrugged, taking the parchment back from Theo and handed it to Blaise. "All I know is that it isn't me," Draco announced firmly, crossing his arms over his chest.

"That's because you'd rather sneak around behind your best mate's back with his witch in the restricted section of the library," Blaise scoffed, rolling his eyes as he pushed himself up from the chair and shoved Draco's hand out of his face. He stormed past him toward the door shaking his head.

Draco opened his mouth to call out to Blaise but closed it when he felt Theo's hand on his arm. He glanced down out of the corner of his eye and raised his brow.

"Don't," Theo warned, looking between Draco and Blaise as he shook his head.

"And why the hell not? He doesn't even know what happened the other night," Draco hissed, glaring at Blaise from across the room.

"I don't care what happened," Blaise said, hanging his head as he stepped closer to the door. "All I know is that I saved your girlfriend a lot of pain and embarrassment to find you with another witch in the one place in this entire school that has any meaning to Hermione. Did you even think about how that would make her feel?"

"I didn't do anything," Draco replied, mumbling a few choice words under his breath. "Daphne came to me. Maybe you should figure out how to keep your own witch happy before you worry about saving anyone else's."

"Yes, of course," Blaise said, rolling his eyes as he tossed his hands into the air. "Turn it all back on me. How did I not see that one coming?"

Blaise looked back over his shoulder as his two best mates and shook his head before making his way out of the common room. He needed some time to think, and he needed to get the hell away from Draco before he found himself sitting in detention for beating him to a bloody pulp. He knew his relationship with Daphne was strained, and he didn't need any reminders from anyone.

Oliver tossed the parchment piece into the fire before returning to his place on the couch opposite his flat. He shook his head as he dropped down into the cushions and rested his head against the pillow.

How could he have been so bloody stupid? Parading around Hogsmeade like a fool thinking that he was able to stay under the radar and out of Gossip Witch's grasp.

"Bloody hell," Oliver groaned, scrubbing his hands over his face as he sunk down into the couch. A dull ache at the back of his head reminded him of last night's adventures. Grimacing at the pain, Oliver pushed himself up off the couch and made his way to the kitchen. He rummaged around the refrigerator to find something to drink and settled on the half-drunk bottle of firewhisky tucked to the side.

Just as Oliver was about to take a swig of the amber liquid, he heard a soft knock at his front door. Oliver set the bottle down on the counter and let out a sigh, walking over to the door. He looked through the peephole and noticed a familiar head of hair waiting for him on the other side of the door.

Oliver shook his head and reached for the doorknob, pulling the door open slowly. He trailed his eyes up the length of the figure standing in front of him. "You shouldn't be here," Oliver said, stepping aside and inviting the figure inside.

"Then why are you letting me in?"
