"I must warn you that if you're really intent on knowing, it's obviously not a happy story. It will be easier for me to tell if you don't interrupt me." I said.

Truth was I was glad to finally tell someone other than Hermione. Only she and Harleigh knew, and it wasn't an easy subject.

"I promise."

"Good. First you should know that I'm not like other wizards. I can do magic without spells, wands, or sometimes without intention. I try to keep it under control, but sometimes I just can't. Scott Westley was my boyfriend, two summers ago. He was a muggle who thought I went to some fancy prep school. We had been dating for about a year, and one night things got a bit heated up. He wanted to, but I didn't. I had never seen him act that way before, he was angry and violent. He forced himself on me. I tried to fight him off but it didn't work. When it was finally over he got up and started to walk away. I was so angry and upset I couldn't control myself. I - I killed him. I wasn't thinking, I formed a telekenetic sheild around his heart and just expanded it, until he exploded for lack of a better word. That's why I act the way I do, I'm afraid if something happens I won't be able to control myself. I mean, hell, it's been hard enough restraining myself from killing you."

It was silent for a few minutes while I waited for him to say something.

"Hayleigh, I'm so sorry and I want you to know I would never force you to do anything. Aside from quidditch that is."

We both laughed for a while at that.

"I know."

I wasn't expecting what happened next. I imagined he'd be afraid of me and run away, but no such luck. He placed a hand on my cheek and kissed me. It wasn't like before. It was sweet and caring, and that's when I realized I had fallen for Oliver. My heart told me it's what was right, but my mind said I'd regret it. I didn't care, I was stuck in this moment, and nothing else mattered. I loved him, people may call me crazy for that but what's inside my heart I'm admitting to you wouldn't have a clue unless you felt it too.

"I love you Hayleigh." he said, as he pulled back just a few inches.

"What?"

"I always have, I didn't want to but some things you just can't fight."

"I know what you mean Oliver, I love you too."

We kissed again, shorter this time, and decided we should head back to the common room before they sent a search party. But before we went he grabbed my hand.

"Hayleigh wait. Before we go back I have just one question."

"Shoot Captain, sorry old habits die hard."

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes Oliver, of course I will."

I kissed him softly and we made our way to the common room, seeing as the dance was long over. The only people there were Hermione and the twins, great.

"Oh thank heavens Hayleigh I was so worried, oh." she said, as I realized Oliver was still holding my hand.
