Ch. 3- Secrets and a Letter
*Oliver's POV*
He became very excited when he received Sarah's letter. He opened it and began to read it. He blushed a little when it said, "I love you..." He quickly reached inside his desk and got out a sheet of paper and began to write her a letter.
Sarah,
God, I miss so much. I can't bear it; the only consolation is that I'll see you at Christmas. I love you so much. I never realized how much you meant to me until we've been apart for so long.
Actually, when I read your letter I blushed when it said it. Can you believe it? I blushed! I can't wait to see.
I really glad you're making a lot of friends. Don't worry about Draco, he's a git anyway. You might want to be careful about those Slytherins being nice to you. Don't think I'm trying to joke. Those Slytherin's are known for being cruel and nasty. You may think that they're your friends, but they may be playing a trick on you. Don't be deceived. How are you doing in your classes? Who are the new team captain and Keeper? Tell Harry and the gang I said hello.
Well, I'm training really hard. When the season is over Dumbledore said that I might be able to come and assist Madame Hooch. We've already had nine matches and we've won 6. Not bad, eh. We only have three more games until the end of the season, and that's if we don't get into the finals. I really want to, but I don't believe that we're going to.
Have a great week, and wish me luck for my game on Friday. I need you to send me another picture of you, because the other one got ruined. I had it in my Quidditch locker and it fell out and people stepped all over it. Please, I need another one. Can't wait to see you.
Love,
Oliver

xoxoxoxo! I sorry, but this is the best that I can do.
He tied the letter to Hedwig's leg, who was resting on the windowsill. Hedwig flew away into the night sky. "God speed," he whispered. He watched the sky until it was to dark outside to see anymore. He sighed and went to bed.
*Sarah's POV*
She was in her room sitting on her four-poster bed. She heard a scratching on the window and she opened. Hedwig flew in, and she got the letter off of her leg. She flew out again, and she assumed going to the Owlery. She looked at the envelope, and she knew who it was from immediately. She felt a shiver go up her spine. She had been waiting for it for days, and it had finally arrived. God, I miss him so much. She could feel the pain in her soul. She finally realized how much she loved Oliver. She had always said that she loved him out of obligation, but know she truly meant with all of her being. She walked over and sat on her bed again. She opened the letter, and started to read. She smiled as she finished it. If only Christmas could come faster. She cried as she thought about him. If only he could be here with her now. She reached over to her bedside table, and grabbed the picture of Oliver sitting there. He was smiling and blowing her kisses. She kissed the picture and placed it back on the table. She sighed and walked over to the window and looked out over the horizon. She stayed there until the sun had set, and the stars were shining in the sky. At this time Hermione walked in.
"Where have you been. People have been looking for you," she said sounded worried. "You mean that they were looking for me and didn't even look in my room. What idiots! No offense to them, of course," she said and smiled. They walked down to the common room. Harry and Ron were playing chess. She didn't really care about anyone else. She went over and sat beside Harry. "Where have you been?" She looked at the board and then back to Harry," In my room. And move your Bishop to D-5." Harry looked at the board. Ron gasped. "D-5...," Harry said,"...Checkmate!" Harry was so excited he started jumping up and down. He grabbed Sarah's arms and pulled her up. Ron sat there dumb-founded. Has Harry just beaten me at chess? Harry was still rejoicing. "I've never beaten Ron before! I...,"Harry stuttered," I... I love you." He kissed her on the cheek. They both stopped jumping. "What did you say?" Harry thought about it," I said 'I love you'..." Sarah didn't know what he meant by that, as a friend or something else. Harry didn't know what to do. He had never had a girlfriend before. He grabbed Sarah and pulled her close. He kissed her on the lips. Sarah pushed him away abruptly," What was that? I thought we were just friends. I have a boyfriend. What gives you the right to do that? Answer me." She didn't yell because she didn't want to attract any attention, but she was speaking in a tone that meant she was very angry. Ron was sitting on a couch with Hermione. They were watching every move that Harry and Sarah made. Harry didn't know what to say. "I'm sorry. I guess I got a little too excited. I didn't mean to. I meant that I loved you because you helped me beat Ron. I'm so sorry." Sarah led Harry out of the common room and through the portrait of the fat lady. She told him to meet her in the Gryffindor Quidditch locker room after lunch, when they had a free hour.
Sarah went back into the common room, and went to her room. She was so angry. How could Harry do that to her? And she didn't enjoy that kiss for a minute. Or did she? She lay there, and she decided that she must not tell Oliver. She wouldn't tell him because Harry was his friend and she didn't want to ruin their friendship. She went to sleep after kissing Oliver's picture again.
*Harry's POV*
He couldn't believe that he had done that. He had felt feelings for her, and he let them get the best of him. The truth was he didn't regret doing it, except that he may hurt Oliver. He knew that he shouldn't have done it but he couldn't control himself. He thought that since they were both having a good time that she wouldn't have taken him saying 'I love you' and kissing her to bad. He felt like such a fool.
He walked to his room and sat on his bed. He thought that if he wished hard enough that he would wake up and it would all be a dream.
Harry was startled back into reality by Ron. Ron had just entered the room and was walking over to Harry. "What were you thinking?" Harry looked down at his feet. "Harry, why did you do that. You know that she's going out with Oliver." Harry had no idea how to say what he was feeling. "I... I like her. I like her a lot. But I don't love her, because she loves someone else. And how could she ever love anyone like me? And that someone just happens to be my friend and my old coach." Harry was out of breath. He had said it so fast, that Ron had to sit and think about what he had just said. After an awkward silence Ron patted Harry on the back. "I know this may sound cheesy, but I know how you feel." Harry looked up at Ron," What do you mean?" Ron started to blush, " You mean you don't know," Harry shook his head," Man Harry, you are thick. I... I sound like a twit. I feel the same way about Hermione." Harry didn't believe his ears. "Hermione... Hermione Granger? Our best friend Hermione? How long have you felt this way?" Ron thought about it, "I don't know. I just have. Can we drop it?" Harry nodded,"Sure." They made a promise to never tell anyone about what was said in that room, 'What we said stays within these walls.'
They went back down to the common room. Neville Longbottom pulled the curtains open on his bed. "I can't believe my ears. This is unbelievable!"
Author Notes- How evil am I? What a cliffhanger. Tune in as soon as I get the next chapter in to see what will happen next!
