Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or the song.

A/N: At this time, Oliver and Katie are not dating, they're just best mates.

Just because it's silent now
The space between the notes that really count
When love is open like a bloom
Inspiring you to pen you finest song
It's always been a weapon and the answer
To the question on your lips
It's clear as day that love will win
Like a Patronus on the darkest night of the end

No. This wasn't happening. Not him. How could someone someone so full of laughter be silenced by green light? I looked at Fred with a hole in my heart. Katie stood next to me holding my hand as I worked to steady my emotions. We stood there staring down at our friend, unable to speak. Katie rested her head on my shoulder and I could feel her body shaking from trying to hold back tears. My grip strengthened on her hand when I saw George. Angelina sat next to him, tears streaking down both of their faces, neither able to comprehend what had just happened. Angie grabbed George's hand as a fit of grief ran though him. I nudged Katie and pointed to the pair. She smiled and whispered something about love being able to get people though grief.

I knew this from first hand experience. Katie had gotten me though so much. She was by my side after my sister died. Those times when I tried to kill myself after losing in Quidditch, she stopped me. I moved so I was standing in front of her my brown eyes looking into her beautiful green ones. I had always loved her, and I had to tell her.

"Katie. I love you. And you're my best mate, but I just bloody love you," I said, waiting for the rejection to come. For her to say she only thought of me as a friend.

"Ollie. I love you so much. Always have, always will," she said, smiling. She stood up on her tippy-toes and kissed me quickly. I looked at her and pulled her into a hug as George and Angelina got up.

"We better go," I said remembering what had happened only mere hours ago.

"Yea, well I'll see you soon Ollie," Katie replied, her happy face slipping. "I love you."

And with that she spun on the spot and disapparated. "I love you too," I said to the air she disappeared from. We had a great future ahead of us.

A/N: Katie and Oliver dated for 2 months before getting married. They had two sets of twins, Ryan, Aiden, Benjamin, and Lucy.
