AN: Molly II and OC. This chapter links with the next two chapters. As always I don't own anything by JK Rowling or Bruno Mars. I own my OCs though.

"Molly, please talk to me. You haven't spoken since yesterday morning. It's worrying me. It's worrying your family and Maggie. Please talk," pleaded Zach Avery.
Molly Weasley II kept quiet and continued to read her Transfiguration book in the Head Girl and Boy's common room. Molly had spent the last two days keeping to herself, appearing to study for NEWTs, but in reality she was just deep in thought. Deep in thought over events that had occurred two nights previous and at yesterday's breakfast. But, she had had enough of thinking. Her well-reasoned, logical mind could not make sense of the events. She turned and looked at Zach.
"Why do people cheat?"
A look of relief flitted across Zach's face, but was quickly replaced with his look of concern again. He sat down on the couch next to Molly. "I don't know, Molly."
"I know he said he cheated because he didn't want to keep waiting for me to be ready for intimacy, which makes me think that he never really cared about me, he just wanted to lose his virginity. But he told me he loved me, which makes me think that part of him did care for me. It just doesn't make sense to me. I keep thinking that, maybe there was something I could have done to prevent this. But then I can't think of anything that would have."
Zach pulled Molly into a hug. "He was a coward Molly. We both know how shy he was when he first asked you out on a date. He's just as cowardly as when it comes to this. Clearly there was some element of caring, so when it came to a point where he found someone else, he couldn't bring himself to break up with you. On the other hand, maybe he's just a massive prat who kept dating you because you're Head Girl and it increases his social standing. Either way, you're better off without him. You are a strong, intelligent young woman who doesn't need a man to make her happy."
Molly gave a small smile as she pulled away from the hug.
Zach grinned. "Now that's something myself, Maggie and your family have wanted to see for a few days."
"Speaking of them, why haven't Maggie, James and Louis come and asked me to help with their NEWTs study yet?"
AN: I know it's not mentioned in the books, but I like the idea of a Head Girl and Boy's common room, I see it as a smallish room, big enough for Prefect meetings, with two doors off to the bedrooms.
