Title: This Can't Be Happening

FanFiction Writing Month: March

It's only been four months since the Battle of Hogwarts and since Percy lost his younger brother Fred. Percy had been watching a Quidditch match where his best friend and lover, Oliver Wood was playing. That's when it happened, a bludger smacked into him and knocked him off his broom.

"No!" Percy exclaimed.

The healers took Oliver off the field and Percy rushed to the sidelines and he saw the condition of his best friend and lover up close.

"Family?" One of the healers asked.

Percy nodded and said. "I'm actually his boyfriend. We've been together for a few years."

"Okay, Mr. Wood was hit and he sustained a very serious head injury."

"Will he be okay?" Percy asked.

The healer frowned and said. "It doesn't look good but we'll transfer him over to St. Mungo's."

Percy nodded solemnly. They transferred Oliver to the hospital. Percy stayed in the waiting room as long as he could. He went back to the house he had shared with Oliver for the past year and a half. He wasn't necessarily alone since Oliver had talked him into buying a dog. He was more of a cat person but he ended up loving the dog. It was golden retriever named Snitch. How creative. The dog looked around for his other owner.

"He'll hopefully be home soon."

The dog whined sadly as Percy scratched behind his ears. Percy trudged to their bedroom, changed into his pyjamas and then threw himself on the bed. This can't be happening. He still blamed himself for Fred's death. He couldn't lose his best friend and lover too.

The next morning, he quickly got up and went to St. Mungo's. He was led to Oliver's room and slowly walked in. That's when he broke down and crumbled on the floor seeing his one true love connected to all those wires. He was barely breathing on his own.

"Oh, Ollie," he sobbed.

Over the next few days, this became Percy's routine. He completely forgot about Sunday dinner at his parent's.

That Monday morning, he woke up to Snitch barking loudly. He was confused for a second but then he recognised the voices of his older brothers Bill and Charlie. He was about to get up but they barrelled into his room instead. The golden retriever was smart enough to realise that these two men weren't threats when he saw the shock of red hair that matched his sleeping owner.

"Percy?" Charlie asked his younger brother.

The younger redhead looked up at his brothers.

"Is everything okay, mum was worried about you when you didn't come last night."

"Does everything look okay?" Percy said wryly.

The older redheads looked at their brother's face and they both noticed the bags under his eyes and the redness. Percy never cried something must be really wrong.

"When did you get a dog?"

"It was my roommate's idea and his name is Snitch."

The two older Weasleys mainly Charlie knew only one person who is that obsessed with Quidditch that he'd name his dog Snitch.

"You two want some tea?" Percy asked, getting up and pulling one of Oliver's old jerseys over his head.

The older redheads nodded and Percy walked them down to the kitchen.

"So, how long have you been wearing one of Oliver's old jerseys?" Charlie asked.

Percy blushed, his ears turning red.

"Is Oliver your roommate?"

Snitch barked at the sound of his other owner's name.

"I'd say that's a yes, Bill," Charlie smirked at the golden retriever.

Percy handed his brothers the tea his hands shaking. He was about to crumble on the floor and sob pathetically. Bill and Charlie instantly noticed so they jumped into action and Bill caught his younger brother in his arms as Charlie grabbed the dog. The trio of brothers apparated to the Burrow. Molly instantly noticed the arrival of her three eldest and the mood of her third oldest. She hadn't seen him cry like this since Fred died. She scurried over and took him in her arms. The third eldest Weasley let himself cry in his mum's arms while Charlie handled Snitch.

"When did you get this dog?"

"I've had him for about a year."

"What's his name?"

"Snitch."

Before Molly could reply the rest of the family walked down the stairs. The rest of the Weasley family greeted their brother.

"Why are you wearing one of Wood's old jerseys?" George asked.

Percy was about to break again but he didn't.

"Out with it."

"Oliver and I have been living together for almost two years and dating for three," he said cautiously.

Bill and Charlie smirked they always knew they would end up together. Molly was just happy that her son was happy.

"Almost a week ago, I was at his Quidditch match. Merlin, does he look gorgeous in his uniform," Percy sighed, dreamily.

"Percy, we rather not hear about how gorgeous your boyfriend looks in his uniform," Ginny chuckled.

The redhead blushed and said. "He suddenly got sideswiped by a bludger and it knocked him off his broom."

"Didn't that happen in his first match too and he was knocked out for a week?" Charlie asked, he was the captain and the seeker at the time.

Percy grimaced remembering that all too well.

"Is he going to be okay?"

Percy frowned and said. "It's a serious head injury, but they are trying their best."

The family nodded.

Over the next few days, each of the Weasley's went with Percy to St. Mungo's.

It was exactly two weeks later when Oliver took a turn for the worse and his body gave out. Percy was there when Oliver's heart beat for the last time.
