Chapter 27

"Ollie..." Tiannah groaned.

"Mm?"

Tiannah turned to face Oliver in her bed. "What happened last night? I don't remember."

"We were really drunk. I think we shagged, and I was too rough with you."

Tiannah buried her face in a pillow. "Crap. Did we use protection?"

"Dunno."

"Shit, Oliver! What if we didn't! What if I'm pregnant?" Tiannah panicked. She stood up and quickly fell back onto the bed as her head span.

"Calm down, love. I'm more worried about how much I hurt you."

She looked down and bit her lip as she saw the bruising.

"It doesn't matter," she said gently, kissing his cheek, "we were drunk. You didn't mean to hurt me, I know that."

"Hangovers bite," Hestia grumbled at breakfast that morning.

Tiannah, however, wasn't paying attention. She was picking up her clothes from the night before.

"Why the hell is there a picture of Sirius Black stuck on my shirt?"

Oliver shrugged. "Dunno."

Tiannah winced as she saw her ripped underwear and the trail of blood on the table. She quickly cleaned up the matter and picked up the box of condoms.

"I would say that we did use protection, thank Merlin. Ugh, I have a splitting headache."

Oliver wrapped his arms around Tiannah. "Do you want to go back to bed, Tia?"

Tiannah nodded.

In a few days, once Tiannah's parents were back and they were back to normal from their hangovers, Tiannah was going through her school grades, sighing. Oliver sat on her bed, throwing her emerald green Quaffle in the air.

"My grades are horrible, Oliver."

"If you are gonna play Quidditch, does it really matter?"

"Um, yes! What if I injure myself and I can't play?"

Oliver set the Quaffle down and looked Tiannah in the eye. He thought for a moment, before coming up with an answer.

"You could be a stripper!"

Tiannah slapped Oliver across the face.

"That was a very helpful suggestion, Oliver. I will only ever strip for you, got that?"

Oliver grinned. "Thanks, love."

"So what do you think I could be?"

When Oliver didn't answer, she groaned. "I'm the cliché dumb jock."

"Hey, you're not dumb," answered Oliver, "you're just smart at different things. Not academically."

"Yeah, but I really should think about a career outside Quidditch."

Oliver cupped Tiannah's cheeks and looked her sternly in the eye.

"I've known you all my life and you have never thought about anything other than Quidditch for a career. You can't go thinking of the worst outcome, you've got to stay positive. As your captain, I'm telling you that you have to put all your energy into your goal in order for it to happen."

Tiannah wrapped her arms around him. "That's why I love you."

"Really?"

"You're amazing, but you're humble. You aren't one of those guys who becomes overly arrogant if someone compliments them. You are so thoughtful and sweet, unlike most guys. I couldn't imagine a better boyfriend than you."

Oliver blinked. "That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me."

Tiannah blushed slightly and sat in his lap. She ran her fingers through his hair, smiling. "Y'know, I like your hair like this. Longer. It is very sexy."

Oliver smiled and kissed Tiannah's cheek. He couldn't believe how lucky he was to have such an amazing woman.

The rest of the holidays passed quickly. Oliver and Tiannah played Quidditch from dawn to dusk, just as they did all those years ago. They came up with a new Quidditch training regime for Gryffindor, which secured an almost certain victory for Gryffindor. Tiannah and Oliver could both honestly say that it was the best summer that they ever had. On the last day, Tiannah got dressed in Quidditch gear and flew over to Oliver's house. She preferred flying to apparating, and somehow, she knew that it would always be that way. She knocked on the door and was greeted by Oliver's Dad, James.

"Hey, gorgeous," he said, smiling.

"Hey, James. Is Oliver in?"

"He's planning more Quidditch training," he rolled his eyes, "again. But he can never say no to a girl in Quidditch gear."

Tiannah took this as permission to enter, but before she made it over the threshold, James put a hand on her shoulder.

"I hope the grandkids look like you."

Tiannah grinned. "I can make no promises."

Tiannah woke up bright and early on the day that she was due to return to Hogwarts. She couldn't wait to return. Everything about Hogwarts was great, except for Flint. Cedric Diggory kept well away from Tiannah after that disastrous night, much to her happiness. This year she knew that Gryffindor would win. They had to.

The trip to Kings Cross was uneventful, apart from Benny refusing to let go of Tiannah's leg. She pried him off fairly easily and looked him in the eye.

"Benny, you need to stay with Mum and Dad. One day soon, you'll go to Hogwarts."

"When!"

"Soon."

She gave Benny back to her mother and wrapped her fingers around Oliver's. She was brought back to the memory of being at Kings Cross a year ago, and smiled. Tiannah marvelled at how oblivious she was back then. Oliver seemed to be thinking along the same lines as Tiannah, as he squeezed her hand and gave her a knowing look.

As per usual, Tiannah, Oliver, Ken and Hestia found a compartment to themselves. Oliver rambled on to Ken about his Quidditch regime for Gryffindor, as Hestia rolled her eyes.

Tiannah was reading a book when she heard a familiar voice say her name.

"Tiannah?"

Said girl looked up and glared when she saw whom it was.

"What do you want, Diggory?"

"Could I talk to you?"

Tiannah scoffed. "Whatever you want to say, you can say it to all of us."

Cedric turned lightly pink and cleared his throat. "Um, I just wanted to say that I respect your decision to break up with me, but-"

"That isn't what happened! You called me a bitch and told me to leave. So I did."

Cedric frowned, evidently confused. "That didn't happen, Tiannah. You told me that you had feelings for Oliver and said that it was over."

Hestia and Oliver laughed cruelly. It was Hestia who spoke up. "Yeah, right."

"I never said such a thing! I don't know what you are on, but whatever you think happened, didn't."

"I wouldn't call you that!" he said incredulously.

"Right. I would appreciate it if you left, Diggory."

Tiannah almost felt bad when she saw the hurt look on his face, but quickly brushed away the moment of insanity.

"He's mental," Oliver muttered, wrapping an arm around Tiannah.

"Hey, sexy!" a voice yelled out.

"Go get fucked, Flint!" Tiannah yelled, making a rude hand gesture.

"Such a shame that you won't do me!"

Flint's friends guffawed and Tiannah fumed as they walked off. Oliver started ranting about how much he hated Flint and Diggory, claiming that they were both 'lowlife pigs'.

Tiannah, however, wasn't listening.
