Harry couldn't even imagine how Oliver felt at this point. All he tried to do was be a good guy and his team and professors do was ridicule his intentions. It was not like he was going to seduce Harry or anything (well at least not yet) but why did everyone seem to think of Oliver that way. Yes he loves Quidditch with a passion, but that doesn't mean that's the only side to him.

Harry made his way back to Gryffindor Tower without any problems. He past one of Katie's friends Leanne, a second year, on his way who just gave him a smile. The Common Room was empty due to it being meal time. Harry crept up the stairs and made his way to the Fifth Year Boy's Dorm. He found Oliver sitting on the window sill looking out at the stars.

Who would have thought Oliver to be a sensitive sort to this extreme? Not even Harry thought so, which made him feel even more guilty. He just sat there transfixed by the constellations. Harry crept up silently and caught Oliver's attention.

"Oliver?"

…

"Oliver?"

…

'To hell with this' Harry thought as he embraced Oliver in a brotherly hug. It brought tears to Oliver's eyes. They just sat there looking up at the stars as if time had stopped.

Eventually Oliver caught wind of the time.

"I'm sorry Potter. I really…I don't know. It's…my brother should be here. He disappeared during my first year. I haven't seen him sense. I lost my da that day also. It happened four years ago today. I found out during Herbology. My da was killed by Prof. Snape."

"Oliver, I'm so sorry."

"Don't have pity for me. Where's that homework of yours?"

"Here" Harry said indicating the pile of parchment and textbooks that were sprawled out on Oliver's four poster.

"I never knew you like the stars."

"I sort of took on his personality. When my brother William, I called him Liam, and I were younger we were like day and night. I was the bookworm that was interested in the stars and myths. Liam on the other hand was the quidditch fanatic. Our da played keeper for Puddlemere. Liam was always the keeper. I, myself, like the position of seeker better. Anyway he was so sad for me to leave, but knew I would see him again" Oliver said beginning to tear up.

"Oliver you don't…"

"It's fine. Where was I? It was September 2, 1986 and I was in my first class of the day, Herbology. I didn't know anything was wrong. But then McGonagall came in and took me to her office. And she…"

"And she…"

"And she told me what happened. I later learned it was Prof. Snape, Lucius Malfoy, and some Umbridge woman. They were cleared through bribery, but the portraits in our house saw them. My da charmed them to look like ordinary Muggle portraits, but when my uncle, Hannah Abbott's father, took me back that weekend we learned the truth."

"I'm so sorry Oliver."

"I knew he wasn't dead. I just knew it. So since that day I've lived my life for him. I have made some sacrifices to make his dreams come true. I could have been a prefect and at the top of my class, but quidditch is all I have left. It was the one thing that I have that connects to my da and Liam."

Oliver wiped his eyes and nose with a tissue before he turned to face Harry.

"We should get a move on with your homework. You need to get some sleep."

"It's just potions. We can do some of the rest this weekend. Right now I think I just want to be with you."

"Thanks. You are so much Liam. And don't think for one moment that's why I fell for you."

"Oliver, I seriously never thought of that."

'Shit did I say that aloud?'

"I see myself in you too. It's scary. First thing you need to know is that Snape likes to…"

Author's Note

Sorry this took so long. I had really bad writer's block and a lot has gone on in the last few weeks. Today is mt 18 th birthday (6/25) and like... Anyway I hope you enjoy this. I took this idea from one of my abandoned ideas, a story I wrote with Missay. I am going to rework that idea in the meanwhile. But I thought it also could explain Oliver's mood and create a nice fluffy moment. Anyway the story this was inspired by is Missay's Two Snakes and Two Lions do the Tango (I believes thats what it is, maybe its lions before snakes, i forget lol)
