Disclaimer: The wonderful world of Harry Potter does not belong to me, I'm sorry to say. It's all the creation of J. K. Rowling.

He turned my face around so we faced each other. Surely he couldn't mean to finish what we had started earlier...especially with Percy in the room. Could he?

His eyes looked up and down my face, and at that moment I would have given anything to be able to caress his soft features. But instead of have our lips touch, he let go, glanced at Percy, and whispered to be sure he couldn't hear.

"Listen, I know we both got in pretty deep earlier tonight. And maybe...no definitely..." Yes? "It was a mistake. I mean, it was great and everything, but you're dating my best friend. If there's one thing I truly know about him, is that he loves you. I don't want to do anything to bring him any pain. I can tell you care about him too. You two...belong together." His face contorted almost in pain and he looked away sharply. My heart sank and my jaw dropped. But, that was exactly what I was going to tell him right? Why did this hurt so much?

"You're...you're right. It must have just been the night air that go to us. You're right." Neither of us could look at each other. Oliver let go of my hands, and we inched further away from each other in our chairs.

Still not looking at me, he mumbled, "Yeah, thank Merlin for those Dementors." My eyes grew sad and I felt my bottom lip quiver.

"Dementors? What's this I hear about Dementors?" We both jumped up and looked at each other. Percy was standing behind our chairs looking down at us.

I quickly stammered an excuse. "We-we were just talking about...about Sirius Black. Bad man. Thank goodness for those Dementors."

"Oh yes, I know exactly what you mean. You know sometimes..." He leaned closer and lowered his voice. "Sometimes I think they should take Harry out of this school. I know he's saved it before, and he's saved our entire world before and all, but these things wouldn't happen if he wasn't here. I mean, this Black certainly wouldn't be around here if Harry wasn't. His education is putting us all in danger. There are plenty of capable wizards that can teach him in some private secluded area where he wouldn't bring harm to anyone but himself. I mean, Harry is a great kid, Ron's best mate, I like him, but you know, we would be a lot safer if he was only brought out when You-Know-Who comes around."

"Percy! That's a HORRIBLE thing to say. Harry has done more for this world than almost any wizard. He should be treated with much more respect than some animal kept in a cage until we need him. Besides, the things he's done in this school alone he has done on his own merits. No one knew what was really going on other than him and his friends, so how would we know when to have him help us? Percy Weasley, that may be one of the worst things you've ever said, for many reasons." I was shocked that Percy even thought such things. Harry was a person, not some spell to hold in the back of your mind whenever you need it. I looked at Oliver who was nodding his head in agreement with me.

"I agree mate, Harry is more than just something to call up whenever you need a saving. He's my seeker no less. He's a person. You should give him a more credit. Without him, we may all be dead."

Percy was quite taken aback that we had not agreed with him. Instead of defending himself or changing his mind, he just walked toward the exit. "Alright then, I suppose you're right. We should be getting back however. Come now, Penelope. Goodbye Oliver. See you in the morning. I hope you're able to wake yourself up without my shaking you till you open your eyes."

"Not to worry Percy, I brought along a special device just for the occasion of sleeping alone. An alarm clock." I smiled, but Percy just looked confused.

"I'll explain it on the way back Percy." He shook his head and left the common room, leaving Oliver and I alone again.

"So, I guess I'll see you in the morning then. Have a nice night." He looked just as uncomfortable as I was.

"Yes well, goodnight." Neither of us moved.

"Um, well, maybe we shouldn't talk about what happened tonight. We can start over. Pretend it all never happened?" He looked sad again. The pain in his eyes brought pain to my heart.

"Yes, that would be for the best I suppose. We just shouldn't talk about it then."

"Right." We looked at each other for a while again, both not moving and inch. I heard Percy call from outside the open portrait, although he was nowhere to be seen.

I was about to leave, when Olive leaned in quickly and gave me a quick kiss on my cheek. It was warm and sent waves through my body.

We looked at each other and I nodded, understanding it was supposed to be a kiss of friendship. I slowly started towards the portrait, but turned back just before leaving. He still hadn't moved and had his eyes focused on me.

"Although we shouldn't talk about it, I just want you to know, it was fabulous night. The best I've ever had." His face brightened, and I walked out of the Gryffindor portrait. My mind guided me over to Percy, but my heart stayed back in that picture with Oliver.
