"Percy." Oliver called walking up behind him as he stood staring at the lake.

"Oliver do you remember my breakup with Penny?"

Oliver frowned and clenched his teeth remembering the girl Percy used to date, "of course I do Percy."

"Do you remember how I told you she broke up with me because I was in love with someone else?"

"Umm yeah I remember, why Perce?"

Percy turned then to look at Oliver, "I think I'm gay."

Percy had such a forlorn expression on his face and he faced Oliver as if he had just told him his puppy had died. Oliver didn't have any choice the corners of his mouth tipped up into a smile which quickly turned into a laugh. And soon Oliver was almost collapsed on the ground.

"What? What's so funny?" Percy asked his face heating up.

"I'm sorry Perce it was just to funny to look at your face when you admitted that. I don't know why your so worried, I'm gay to."

"Really?" Percy asked a slightly disbelieving look on his face.

"Yeah I am."

The two lapsed into a comfortable silence as Percy mulled over his rather blunt announcement, and Oliver pulled him down so they were both sitting on the ground.

"I think I'm in love, Oliver." Percy said quietly.

"With who Percy?"

"With you." Percy whispered rolling over and kissing Oliver soundly on the lips.

Oliver found himself returning the kiss with hunger. His hands wrapped around Percy's neck pulling him across to lay flat on top of him. Percy moaned quietly into Oliver's mouth and twined his fingers through Oliver's silky locks. Oliver's hands were running up and down his sides going lower and lower till he felt Percy stiffen and go still stopping the kiss. Pulling away he looked down into Oliver's eyes and Oliver could see the fear that was in Percy's blue eyes.

"Oliver I'm sorry. I never should have done that it was way out of line."

Oliver silenced his nervous rambling with a finger to his lips. He smiled gently and pulled Percy into his arms ignoring Percy's struggles until Percy sighed and relaxed into his arms.

"I wanted it Percy. I wanted it just as much probably more, then you did."

"What?"

"I had a crush on you for the longest time back at Hogwarts. And after when we met in Diagon Alley for lunch it started to become something more."

"Why didn't you say something?"

"You had so much going on and I didn't think you would return the feelings."

"Of course I would!"

"Hey," Oliver said trying to defend himself, "you just admitted you were gay."

Percy frowned and stubbornly stuck out his tongue at Oliver. Suddenly he turned serious looking at Oliver with an intensity that immediately caught his attention.

"I think we should take it slow. I'm not ready for anything else."

Oliver colored thinking about where his hands were going just a moment earlier.

"Of course Perce I want to go slow to. The last thing you need right now is for us to go rushing into a heavy relationship."

Percy grinned happily at Oliver, "thanks Oli."

"Your welcome Perce, but you do realize that you just proved your brothers right though don't you?"

"Oh merlin! I'll never live this down! Well I better get it over with."

Percy grabbed Oliver's hand and tugged him up to the castle. They went to the Gryffindor common room where everyone was lounging around. The twins, Ron and Harry on the floor playing Exploding Snap. Ginny with Hermione was on one of the couches watching and giggling about boys most likely. Bill and Charlie were standing next to the fireplace talking quietly but glancing up at the others every now and again when they heard a yell or laugh. The sound of the portrait door opening and Oliver walking in dragging a slightly desperate Percy along caused them all to look up. Ginny raised one elegant eyebrow at the pair before she turned to Hermione with a wink and whispered something that made the other girl start laughing. Bill alerted by the whispers of the girls knew that something interesting was about to happen and he gave Percy a very questioning look, which only made Percy blush harder.

"Ahem," Percy nervously cleared his throat and looked to Oliver for reassurance.

Oliver smiled and gave Percy's hand a quick squeeze. This action not being lost on Bill who was watching the two intensely. He elbowed Charlie and nodded to their clasped hands. Charlie also caught on quickly and the two shared a bright smile over their little brother and Oliver.

"There's something that we'd like to tell you. Um well you see ... I ... I mean Oliver and I ... We well we."

Oliver cut Percy off once again by grabbing him and kissing him senseless. Percy soon forgot their audience and melted into Oliver's arms. His hands still at his sides he leaned in to return the kiss with equal passion. George watched his brother in surprise and his eyes wandered to Hermione wondering what she'd think if he kissed her like that. Hermione met his eyes and blushed a bright red color. Ginny took all this in and filed it away to bring up at a later date as she exchanged quick looks with Bill and Charlie. Harry and Ron were watching the display of affection with opened mouth disbelief. Fred actually had to reach over and shut Ron's mouth. The audible click it made seemed to snap everyone else awake and they were now feeling thoroughly awkward about the whole situation. Charlie cleared his throat politely to get their attention. Percy pulled away leaving Oliver panting and looking very displeased at the turn of events.

"Right," Percy stammered, "that about sums it up."

Grabbing Oliver he turned on his heels and fled the common room as if the devil himself was on his heels. The others were left standing there staring after them in slight confusion.

"I told you he was in denial!" Ron yelled ducking the pillow thrown at him by Harry.

"RON!"
