Oliver sank down into the sofa. Running his hands through his hair, he held
his face in his hands. "God, I'm so STUPID!"
"Oliver, would it make it things easier for you if I broke things off with Haylie so you two could be together?" Roger asked, looking melancholic, but very steadfast in what he said.
"You'd do that?" Oliver asked, looking at the somber-faced Ravenclaw.
"She's not happy. And, if she's not happy, I'm not happy. I love her Oliver, and well, almost everyone knows that you love her too. I know it sounds complicated…look, let's just both go upstairs to Haylie okay? She needs us both." Roger said. They walked up the long stairs to the seventh year girls dormitory.
Haylie was sitting on her bed, with her cloak wrapped around her. She heard the door open. "Roger?"
"I'm here…Oliver is too, we want to talk to you." His rich, melodious voice filling the air. He opened Haylie's scarlet curtains.
Haylie looked at Roger, and then at Oliver. "About what…?"
"Haylie, I've told you many times that I really love you." Roger said. Haylie gave a small smile as Roger sat on her bed. "And, we just found out that, well, Oliver loves you too." The smile quickly left Haylie's face. "You're just a lucky girl, got Roger Davies and Oliver Wood…there are so many first years who'd kill to be you, you know." He said, getting Haylie to laugh a bit.
"Yeah, that's true." Haylie replied.
"And you know that when you're unhappy, I'm unhappy. So, because I love you, I want you to be happy." Roger said before taking a deep breath. "I've seen you with Oliver before, and even last weekend, and you were so happy. What I'm trying to say is that I'm going to let you go, so you can be happy with Oliver."
Haylie looked at Roger, a look of shock, sadness and happiness somehow mixed together on her face. She wrapped her arms around Roger, crying, "You love me that much?"
"Yes." Roger said, he himself trying to fight back tears. "You'll always have a special place in my heart Haylie, you know that right?"
"Roger…you didn't have to you know." Oliver said, finally.
"But I did. I couldn't stand to see two good friends of mine in so much trouble…it's the best thing to do." He sighed, holding Haylie in his arms, for what might be the last time as her boyfriend.
"Roger, just because I'm not with you doesn't mean that I'm going to stop loving you. What we have, is something special, and something different than what Oliver and I have and will have. My love for you will always be strong Roger…remember that will you?" Haylie asked. Roger only smiled at her, and gently kissed her forehead.
"Shh, enough of that…why don't I let you and Oliver talk by yourselves now?" Roger said, getting ready to leave.
"Actually Roger, why don't I let you stay with Haylie?" Oliver said, smiling.
Haylie and Roger both looked at Oliver. "Thank you Oliver." Roger replied, as Oliver walked out of the room, leaving Haylie and Roger alone to their thoughts and memories.
A/N: Ahh, so, the story's in resolution. *sighs in relief* Well, I'm probably going to wrap things up with an epilogue.
