I need you in front of me.
This chapter took alot to write. I was half asleep and didnt' feel too well. But thats okay. I also didn't proof read it to well so there might me some mistakes, If you see one email me so I can change it. Thanks. Have fun. Good stuff happens in this chapter.
"Oh, come on Potter. Spill your guts, for now I mean that metaphorically, later it will be literal." Malfoy said sneering.
"Give me the photograph Malfoy. I'm not scared of you."
"You damn well should be." Malfoy retorted. "You can either talk now or die now."
"You want to know why I have a picture of Oliver. Well fine. My girlfriend is a fan of his and she wanted me to get his autograph. I promised her I would." Harry replied his mind thinking as fast as it could.
"Harry." Oliver's voice drifted from the doorway. "Why did you send for me?"
"I didn't Sir." Harry replied. "Malfoy did." Oliver moved forward and put himself between Harry and Malfoy.
"Draco, is their something you wanted? What is that you have, hand it over." Oliver said with authority. Malfoy handed over the picture. "Why sir do you have a picture of me. I do not sign autographs."
"Umm. Sorry Professor. I have to go. Bye Harry, I'll see you later." Draco turned and ran down the stairs. Oliver went to the window and watched the grounds until he was sure Draco had returned to the castle, and then he turned to Harry. "You could have just told me you had a girlfriend Harry. I would have understood, but running away hurt."
"I don't have a girlfriend… that picture is mine. Malfoy found it and asked why I had it. I made up that story." Harry slumped to the ground and diverted his eyes.
"Why, Harry?"
"Because you're a teacher, and I'm a student."
"I know, but maybe we could overcome that."
"It's just too much. Its only the second month into school. If it's this hard now, next month will be horrid. I just don't know what to do and I don't have anyone to talk to. I have to go." Harry jumped up and ran to the castle. Oliver stood in the owlery watching Harry and starring at the picture of himself. After a few minutes Oliver reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece that had been cut from the Daily Profit. He looked at it and smiled, smiling back at him was Harry's face. Oliver stayed in the Owlery until night began to fall he started back to the castle. When he was half way down the stairs he tripped on someone and fell down a few steps unto the next landing, dragging the person sitting on the stairs with him.
"Harry?"
"I couldn't go back to the dormitory, I couldn't go to Hagrid, I can't go to Ron or Hermione, I can't go to Dumbledore, and I couldn't go to you. I walked around the lake three times and made it half way up the stairs to you. I couldn't go any further. I realized something while sitting here. I was thinking of Malfoy. He was going to kill me. If you hadn't come between us he probably would have. I realized that I need you in front of me. I… I need you, and I love you too."
"Oh, Harry. I love you." Oliver grabbed Harry and the hugged for a long time. "Tell me everything. I'm here now, I'll listen."
"Thanks Oliver. All my problems seem so far away now except for one. You're a teacher and I'm a student."
"I know, we'll just have to keep it a secret. I'll think of something, for now you get a detention for being out after hours. Three nights of helping me unpack. My office tomorrow evening lets say Seven. Got it? We'd better get back to the castle, I'll escort you."
"Oliver, wait." Harry grabbed Oliver's shirt and pulled Oliver to him. Harry kissed Oliver on the mouth and Oliver kissed back. "Let's go."
Any warm fuzzies? Yay, the ending makes me happy. Woo hoo. The next chapter shouldn't take too long, although finals are only two weeks away.
