This chapter does contain a sex scene. It is by no means graphic, because I don't want to write anything extremely graphic. I do hope it is tastefully written. But, it is a sex scene none the less. You have been warned.

I Won't Leave You Lonely

Katie flipped mindlessly through the stations on her muggle radio. It was much easier to get reception on the Wireless Wizarding Network, but, due to recent developments, she had been banned from using magic of any type. The Ministry had reason to believe that Voldemort had ways to pick up where magic was being performed. She was safer if she lived magic free.

Finally, she landed on a station that seemed decent enough to warrant her attention for more than two minutes and sat down to read a book Oliver had brought her after a recent assignment, Lockhart's Guide to Defeating Dark Wizards. He had said it was to remind her of the ridiculous crush she'd had on Lockhart when he taught at Hogwarts. She had threatened to curse Oliver into the next century, but eventually admitted that it had been a bit dumb to have a crush on such an incompetent wizard. In fact, they had gotten a good laugh out of it.

She sipped her mug of hot chocolate carefully, so as not to burn her tongue. After a few minutes she set the book down. It was pointless to try and read when her mind continuously wandered to thoughts of Oliver. Not that she minded. He was the best thing in her life. A smile crossed her lips.

"You do realize you have the most beautiful smile, don't you?"

Her head snapped up.

"Oliver, I thought you had a meeting and then you wanted to rest up for your next assignment."

"It finished up early," he said, "and I decided I'd rather spend time with you than sleeping."

He cupped her face in his hands and ran his thumbs across her cheek. There was a distant, faraway look in his eyes, almost sad. Katie knew immediately that he wasn't telling her everything.

"Something's wrong," she said, "I want to know what it is."

"Nothing's wrong."

She eyed him doubtfully. "I know you too well, Oliver Wood. Don't even try lying to me."

He sighed and licked his lips. He did not want to tell her. He did not want to burden her with this when she had other matters to attend to that could have an effect on the war. He also could not lie to her.

"I might not make it back from my next assignment."

Katie's body suddenly felt ice cold as though she had been hit with the cruciatus curse. She was well versed in the risks of working for the Order, but she had never expected him to come to her and say that he was going to die. Tears sprang to her eyes, and he pulled her into his arms.

"Dumbledore warned us today. He said we had a right to know."

"Who's we?" she asked, already afraid of the answer.

"Fred, Angelina, and I."

A lump formed in her throat. "Merlin, no. They can't…"

He rubbed the small of her back and kissed the top of her head. "I'm sorry, Katie, but I want you to know that…"

"Please, please, don't say that," she begged, "Don't act like you're all going to die."

"We have to be realistic. We know the risks," he swiped away a few of her tears with his finger, "I just want to make sure you know I love you."

She pressed her lips against his, trying desperately to memorize how it felt to kiss him. She never wanted to forget.

The room became silent except for the sound of the muggle radio playing in the background.

Together-midnight in summer

The air's so much warmer

Falling in love under starlight

Holding on so tight-together

The kiss grew deeper. Katie's hands moved to the hem of Oliver's shirt and pushed it over his head. He pulled back.

"Katie, I didn't say what I said so that you would, you know."

"I know," she whispered hoarsely, "I want to. If you don't…"

He shook his head. "No, I want to."

I won't leave you lonely tonight

I want you to hold me all night

It's gonna be alright

I won't leave you lonely tonight

He carefully unbuttoned her blouse and pulled it off her body. She shivered as the cold air hit her skin.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"I'm fine."

He kissed her again, moving slowly across her jaw line and down her neck to her shoulder. Her skin was smooth and soft.

Imagine-the air filled with jasmine

The breeze blows with passion

You and me dance with desire

The moon is on fire-imagine

He unhooked the clasp of her bra and pulled her closer. She could feel his heart beating just as wildly as hers.

Impulsively, he picked her up and carried her to the bed. He lay her down gently and toyed with the belt at her waist. He could feel her body trembling underneath his.

"Katie, you can back out anytime you feel uncomfortable," he told her, "It doesn't matter how far we are. I'll stop."

"I promise. I want to do this," she murmured, undoing his belt and tugging his pants down leaving him only in his boxers.

I won't leave you lonely tonight

I want you to hold me all night

It's gonna be alright

I won't leave you lonely tonight

He kissed her deeply and undid the belt. His hands were shaking with nerves.

Je t'aime beaucoup mon amour

You are the one I adore

"It's alright," she assured him again.

He nodded and pulled the pants from her body while she removed his boxers. His hands moved to the lace trim of her panties.

"Ka…"

She kissed him and grabbed a hold of his hands, helping him to take off the last barrier of clothing between them.

I won't leave you lonely tonight

I want you to hold me all night

It's gonna be alright

No you won't be lonely tonight

His stomach was turning cartwheels. In a few seconds there relationship would make a momentous jump. She wrapped her arms around him.

"I love you, too, Oliver," she whispered.

Na-na-na

Te amo mucho mi amor

You are the one I adore

Te amo
