The next morning was an eventful one. As I took a sip of pumpkin juice I saw Draco's eagle owl carrying a red letter.

'What have you got a howler for Draccie?' I heard Pansy asking.

'I don't know.' Draco opened the letter and I winced as I heard Lucius' voice reverberate around the great hall.

'YOU STUPID, IDIOTIC CHILD! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO MESS WITH HER! I'VE ALWAYS SAID SHE COULD DO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU BUT WANTED TO BELIEVE YOU COULD PROVE ME WRONG. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO EMBARRASSED BY SUCH IMMATURITY AND IF I HEAR SO MUCH AS A WHISPER OF WHAT OCCURRED DURING YOUR TIME TOGETHER I SHALL MAKE YOU PAY!' The paper set fire and littered the Slytherin table. I looked over at Draco who was looking back. He got up and walked over to me.

'Of all the people to run to, why did it have to be my father?'

'Because he understands me better than you do!'

'Tell me, when did you start fucking him? Was it before or after we slept together?'

'I don't know what you're talking about.' Draco stormed off and I calmed myself down before I blushed too much. Then I realised that everyone was looking at me.

'You slept with Draco Malfoy?' I nodded to Harry and he just stared back.

'Whoa, get in there Draco!' I watched as several lads from the different houses went to congratulate Draco and shook with anger.

'Was it true, what he asked about his dad?'

'No Ron! Of course it's not! I'll never live this down.'

'Yes you will, they'll find my mad scar more interesting next week!' I laughed at Harry who smiled broadly back.

'Thanks Harry.'

'For what? We all make mistakes. Come on, we've got flying lessons.' For some reason, fifth year Gryffindors had been placed with seventh year Gryffindors for flying lessons, not that I minded, it meant I would see Oliver first thing on a Monday morning.

'Not that either of you need them! Plus, Wood will let you off!' Ron said softly. I followed them down to the Quidditch stadium and gasped as I saw Oliver standing there; looking more handsome than the last time I saw him and every single feeling I had for him came flooding to the front of my mind. He walked over to me and looked deeply into my eyes.

'Destiny? Wow, you're more beautiful than when I last saw you.' I felt him brush my hair from my face, just like old times.

'Oliver, you're supposed to be teaching us flying, not how to woo girls!'

'Sorry Hermione, now…' Oliver got them to all kick off and I watched them all flying happily, having told Oliver I didn't feel up to it.

'How have you been Oliver?'

'Ok. I'm so sorry I hurt you. I've missed you so much. I don't know why I did it because I love you with all my heart.'

'It doesn't matter.'

'It does seeing as if I had stuck with it, you wouldn't have dated that foul boy and you wouldn't be the funniest joke in the school. I'm sorry, I was just scared.'

'We all get scared Oliver. I forgive you and I love you too. But you know we can't do anything about it, not yet?'

'I know but I accepted the job because I was desperate to see you again.' I placed a hand on Oliver's cheek and kissed him softly on the lips. It took all the power I could find to pull away from him.

'I'm going to have a lie down. I'll see you later. Oliver?'

'Destiny?'

'You're still my everything you know, you always will be.'

'I love you Destiny and one day, we'll be repeating that to each other when we take our wedding vows.' I sobbed softly as he said this and felt him wrap his arms around me, giving me a tight up. I threw my arms around him, so glad to have him so close again. No matter how much I tried to kid myself, I knew I would always love him.

My first month back was awful and I had to deal with snide remarks about my sex life with Draco. I wanted to retort but refused to sink to his level and the only time I got any peace was during the flying lessons because Oliver gave people detentions if they teased me. I was very grateful for this and as a result we started to become very close again. It was hard not to grab him round the waist and hug and kiss him, but we had to resist.

It was my birthday and I was dreading it. Harry, Ron and Hermione all wished me a happy birthday and all bought me fantastic presents. Ron brought me a book of hexes for ex lovers, which caused Hermione to frown. Hermione herself had brought me a new quill for the year and Harry a Quidditch book. Oliver couldn't wait to give me his present, a beautiful necklace with my birthday runes engraved on. It touched me as to how much thought he had put in it. But my best present was when I got to my bedroom that after noon.

'Oh my!' I said as I jumped out of my skin.

'Shh! Happy Birthday!'

'Lucius?'

'I like to make wishes come true. You said you wanted me to visit you on your birthday, so I have. I'm sorry that my son hurt you, really I am and I am more than angry that he has told people about your intimate secrets but he will learn, I promise you. Now, your birthday presents! No arguing!' I knew the long package as soon as I saw it and ripped the wrapping off so I could look at my new broom. I then opened the next parcel, a set of deep red dress robes.

'I thought they would bring out the colour of your eyes. Do you like them?'

'Lucius, I love them but I can't accept them.'

'What did I say before! Now be quiet and come here!' Lucius hugged me and I felt a huge sigh of relief, before I began to cry.

'I've missed you.' Lucius wiped away my tears, holding me tightly as I cried.

'There is no need to cry! Draco has been very idiotic and he will learn to be a bit more aware of what he tells people.' I felt his lips on mine and responded to the kiss. It was a long, slow kiss and it made me fully aware of how much he had missed me to. As his hands began to wonder and my back hit the mattress, I felt the happiest I had done in days and responded willingly to the advances he made.

Lucius left early the next morning, covered in an invisibility cloak so no one would see him. I prayed silently that Harry was not consulting his marauders map at the precise moment, for he would see Lucius leaving my room. After he left, I slept for a while longer. It was a Saturday and there were no lessons so I could have a lie in. I went down to breakfast and sat next to Hermione who was talking about something to Harry and Ron.

'Hi?'

'Hi Destiny. Oliver's been looking for you, says he wants a word.'

'Cheers Harry.'

'Destiny?' I heard the cold voice behind me and didn't really want to look around.

'What Draco?'

'Can we talk?'

'What about?'

'Don't be like that, please?' I put my drink down and followed him out of the Great hall.

'If you need him hexing, let me know!' I smiled as I heard Ron say this. Draco continued out of the main doors and towards the lake where he sat down on a log and beckoned for me to join him.

'I'm sorry.'

'What for? Making me the biggest joke? For me having to listen to sarcastic moans of pleasure whenever I walked passed any of your friends or the fact that you so quickly jumped into her arms the minute it seemed we would have problems?'

'For all of it. I miss you so much and I regret doing any of it.'

'Tell me, has Lucius told you to say sorry?'

'I, well, how did you know?'

'I just did! I'll forgive you, but I won't forget and I'm not taking you back! I love someone else.'

'Oliver Wood!'

'Well, that was obvious but there is another person but that is none of your business. Now if you'll excuse me, I would like to join my friends and enjoy myself today.'

'I said I'm sorry, please?'

'By the way, that orgasm you seem so certain that I had when we slept together, well, I was faking them. You have a lot to learn about girls Draco but then, maybe Pansy would like to help you there. Oh and I didn't lose my virginity to you, I lost it to Oliver, two years ago!' I walked away and didn't look back. Instead of going to the castle, I headed towards the Quidditch pitch and towards Oliver's office. I knocked softly and waited for the door to open.

'Destiny?'

'Harry said you were looking for me.'

'Well yes, I was. Come in.' I walked in and found that it was actually quite large with a bed and a nice warm fire blazing in the fireplace. I sat on the bed and looked at Oliver.

'I wanted to see you last night but I couldn't find you.'

'I had gone to bed. Why did you want to see me?'

'Just so I could. I'm finding it so hard, whenever you're in lesson, just inches away from me I want to take you in my arms and kiss you.'

'Why don't you?'

'Because I'll get the sack.'

'That was one problem with our relationship, you were never impulsive enough.'

'How is this for impulsive?' I felt his lips on mine and whilst I did love Lucius and didn't think I'd cheat on him, the fact that my first true love was being so impulsive blew me away. I responded eagerly and nearly protested when Oliver pulled away. He got up and shut the curtains before locking the door.

'Not even Dumbledore could get passed that little spell I found.'

'But Oliver?' He placed a finger on my lips to silence me and kissed me again. I ran a hand down his firm, toned chest and smiled softly.

'You've been working out.'

'Well, I had to keep in shape for Puddlemere.' I felt one of his hands run up my leg and under my fairly short skirt.

'I've wanted this moment for so long, especially after I saw you last week.'

'Well, I'm all yours.' Oliver kissed me more passionately and his trembling hand touched me where I needed it the most. I was well aware that I was probably the only lover he had ever had but ignored the feeling of guilt. I moaned as his fingers moved inside me before softly pushing it away. He looked into my eyes.

'What?'

'You'll see, lie down.' He followed my orders and I undid his trousers and shirt before pulling off his boxers. I looked down and whilst he wasn't bigger than Lucius, he was certainly bigger than Draco. I kissed his chest, licking his nipples whilst slowly rubbing him into a frenzy. By the time my mouth reached his aching erection I could feel his body heating up. I slowly licked the generous amount of precum off of the head before swallowing him into my mouth. There I maintained a slow and steady movement until I felt his release in my mouth. I let his limp cock fall from my mouth and looked into his eyes. My hand fondled him, bringing about another erection. As I did so, his hands removed my shirt and bra and began to tease my breasts. I guided him into me; careful to make sure he could feel every inch of him enter me. He moaned and I smiled softly at him. I began to grind my hips against his groin, taking him deeper as I moved. Soon he was calling out and I could feel his hips begin to buck. At last he let out a long, soft moan and I felt his orgasm kick in. I pulled myself off of him and looked at him whilst panting after having one of the most powerful orgasms I had ever experienced and it was down to pure love, nothing else.

'Wow, where did you learn to be so good?'

'I've had a good teacher, I seem to remember that we weren't so good in your last year. So you enjoyed it?'

'Yes. Listen, I know we can't be together until the end of the year but I just want you to know that I love you, with all my heart.'

'I know you do Oliver and I love you too.'

'But?'

'But what?'

'You were falling in love with Malfoy weren't you?'

'Well yes, it tends to happen when you spend nine months together, remember? I saw a side of him no one else sees and it hurt when he went running to that girl, especially without talking it through. But he'll never be you.'

'Well, he's a lucky guy but if it doesn't work out and you don't get back together?'

'Oliver, I'll always love you. You were my first love and I think you'll be my last. There is no one on this earth who could ever replace you in my heart, you've got too much of it. If it doesn't work out with Draco, you'll know about it ok? In fact, I can almost guarantee that by June, I'll be all yours.'

'Ok. Listen, you'd better get back before they send out a search party.'

'Ok. See you on Monday.'

'You surely will.' I kissed him before leaving his office. I walked back to the castle and towards the Gryffindor common room when I saw Harry walking towards me looking angry.

'Hey Harry, what's wrong?'

'People talking about me behind my back! They all think I'm some crazed attention seeker.'

'Do you want to talk about it?'

'No, I mean yes, sorry.'

'Don't worry about it. Come on.'

'What did Oliver want?'

'Nothing much, I'll tell you later.' I walked back outside I followed Harry to the lake.

'It is so annoying!'

'That people think you're crazy?'

'Yes! I mean, you believe me that Voldemort's back, don't you?'

'Of course I do! But you have to understand, that happened after Rita's story and despite what happened at the Triwizard tournament they have had two months to think about what Rita said and the daily prophet has been using the story to their advantage.'

'You'd better be careful, you're beginning to sound like Hermione.'

'Well she does speak sense sometimes.'

'I know. So, what's wrong?'

'Nothing.'

'Come on, I know you better than that!'

'It's just things, everything is so confusing.'

'Like what?'

'Hey, we're not here to talk about my problems.'

'Look, I don't care if it means I can forget about my problems for a bit. What's confusing?'

'Just everything. It's like Draco, I want to hate him but I can't. Instead I'm finding that I miss him. You won't believe it but he can be a real softie when he lets down that guard he has built around himself. I know you don't believe me on that, but I know it's true. I want him back yet I'm scared that he'll either run into her arms again or it'll mean giving up on the person I love.'

'Oliver?'

'Well, there is Oliver and I love him with all my heart but there is someone else, someone I can't tell you about and if Draco ever found out there would be hell to pay. But I told Oliver that deep down I know that it'll be him I end up with because he is the only man I could ever truly give all my heart to. I'm just making excuses for my feelings. They run too deep for Oliver. If I was with the other, I'd still think about Oliver!'

'Who is it?'

'I can't say! It's bad enough I like Draco let alone you finding out about this.'

'I know you're not a spy so I don't care. Draco has obviously shown you a side not many other people see. Can I ask you a question?'

'Sure.'

'Hex me if I've got it wrong. Late last night I went for a walk to think things over. Anyway, there I was with my invisibility cloak and the map Fred and George gave me. As I approached your room, I saw that you weren't alone. I noticed that Lucius was in there with you. Did he force his way in? Did he force you to do anything?'

'God no! You know that unless I tell someone that password, no one can get in. There's a little spell that Dumbledore came up with. The person giving the password has to be completely relaxed for the portrait was open. If Lucius was forcing me to let him in, it wouldn't have worked as I would have been to distressed and he certainly didn't force me to do anything when he was in my room. He's been a great help during Draco's games. The truth is Harry, Lucius was there last night because he is the other that I love.'

'What?'

'Shh! I know it's a shock and please don't tell anyone. I can't help how I feel and I know he's more of an enemy to you than Draco is but just like Draco, he can be a real softie, in fact he's told me he loves me too. Please don't be angry with me.'

'I'm not angry, more surprised. When did this happen?'

'It first happened three years ago, when we met him in Diagon Alley. I liked him as soon as I saw him, even though I knew he was completely evil or so I thought. Anyway I stayed with Draco over the holidays and I got to know Lucius very well. The week before we came back to Hogwarts, Draco had been out with his mother and Lucius ordered me to his study. There he seduced me and we've been 'together' ever since. I love him Harry and I know you probably don't understand, especially when Oliver is so interested and I love him so much but I couldn't help what happened. Don't tell Ron and Hermione, they'll find it harder to understand than you do.'

'I understand, especially about Oliver. He hurt you and it took you a long time to get over it, I remember how you were. I see you now and know you were never over Oliver, you still love him you said so yourself. You started seeing Draco and started to forget about Oliver and some how, Draco made you happy. Seeing Oliver is hard for you as although you still love him, you're still hurt from how he finished it and you became fond of Draco. But I don't understand Lucius!'

'I don't ask you too; just don't hate me for it. You know, you're more grown up than I thought.'

'You have to be, given what I have to put up with. I won't judge you for who you love, just be careful though.'

'I will do. I know that I'm messing with a pretty nasty family. Listen, thanks for being someone for me to talk to, someone who won't judge.'

'Why should I judge anybody? Apparently I'm an attention seeking liar.' I smiled broadly when Harry said this.

'Well, like I said, I believe you and no, I'm not going to tell you if I heard anything at the Malfoy's.'

'I wouldn't ask. So, what did Oliver want?'

'Oh, that, well he said he wanted to see me, be alone with me but he said he wouldn't make a move because he could get the sack. I told him his lack of impulsiveness was the downfall of our relationship and he kissed me. Then the kiss lead on to more.'

'So it's safe to say that Oliver is no longer a virgin?'

'What? Oliver and I haven't been virgins for two years! You remember the year when Sirius arrived, there was a really cold winter and Oliver and I had that snow ball fight?'

'Ok, enough detail! I'm glad someone's having fun. Let's get back to the castle.'

'Hold on.' I looked up and saw my barn owl swoop down and land on my shoulder, a letter attached to her leg. I detached it and said thank you, watching her fly towards the owlry.

'Who is it from?'

'I don't know.' I read the letter and smiled to myself.

'So?'

'It's you know who. He wants to know when the first Hogsmeade visit is and he wants me to meet him in one of the houses up there.'

'We'll have to give him a better name so I know you're talking about Lucius.'

'How about Blondie?' I asked with a cheeky grin on my face.

'Ok, Blondie it is then. Come on.'

'Oh, I didn't tell you what I got for my birthday from Blondie did I.'

'No, what did you get?'

'A set of dress robes and a thunderbolt.'

'What? But they cost a fortune.'

'I know. I tried to argue but he warned me that he doesn't like arguments. So, it looks like we'll be walloping Slytherin.'

'That should be fun. I think I'd better go on ahead.'

'Why?' Harry pointed and I saw Draco coming towards us.

'See you later Harry. Thanks again.'

'No problem.' Harry disappeared up the steps.
