"Wow, so this was like the first time you two worked together, from your own free will?" Tom asked surprised
"Yeah" Harry confirmed.
"But what about Uncle Oliver and Uncle Marcus, surely they do know that they love each other" Dan said, lying on his front with his feet in the air.
"Marcus was really hurt and he didn't listen to anyone when they told him about what Oliver said that day with the bludger. He didn't even listen to me, I mean me, he didn't even listen to me, me…"
"Yes Draco, he's got the point" Harry interrupted with a shake of his head.

"You know Harry if you have something on your mind, you can always talk to me about it you know" Hermione told him and they were sat in the Gryffindor common room.
"Ok" Harry said slowly "Thanks Hermione?"
"Only that what ever you want to get off your chest, I will understand 100 and I won't think any differently of you" she assured him
"Great, thanks"
"And the thing that is on your chest…what ever it is…I'm sure that it could bring us closer together"
"Excuse me?"
"I mean it'll mean we have something in common…I'd imagine"
"Come again?"
"Only that I believe the thing you want to say…what ever it could be…is a perfectly normal way of life…or something like that"
"Hermione?"
"And I'll love you no matter what and I'm sure that Ron will understand as well seen as his brother is that way as well… what ever that way is"
"Which brother is what way?"
"Charlie he's you know"
"I know what about him"
"That he's, he's, he's…Ron's brother"
"Are you alright?"
"I'm great, but not perfect, I'm not fulfilled because you wont say what's on your mind…whatever it is"
"Hermione, what on earth are you talking about?"
"I know you're gay Harry" Hermione said quickly
"What! How!" Harry felt a cold chill running down his spine
"I don't know I just knew, call it woman's intuition or something, but Harry I love you no matter what, and I will support you" she told him kindly
"Thanks Hermione" Harry hugged his friend warmly, when they parted he realised something "Wait, Charlie's gay?"
"Yep, but he hasn't come out yet"

Marcus lied in his bed staring into space, he ignored the tears that slithered from his eyes, there was no point to them. They were just there, to soak his cheeks, but he refused to acknowledge that they were there, that he felt his heart broken and empty. He didn't want to listen to his friends, when they told him about what Oliver said, because it wasn't true, it couldn't be and Oliver didn't love him. And he didn't love Oliver, well that's what he kept telling himself. Marcus turned around in his bed covering his face with the pillow.
"I feel like a twat" he mumbled into the pillow. A cool breeze eased itself into the room as a strange owl, flied threw the window and onto Marcus's bed "Go away!" shouted Marcus at the bird, but the owl just cocked it's head to the side and just hooted annoyingly at Marcus.
Marcus sat up on the, and took the note that was tied onto the Owl's leg. He read the letter
Marcus for Merlin's sake, get out of bed. Go to the great hall and eat something before you vanish into nothing!
You don't have to worry about running into Wood because he's not there!
Also you need to go to your lessons!
You don't want to re-sit AGAIN!
Severus is not happy and I think your classmates are getting suspicious
Adrian Pucey is constantly on at me because I know where you are
Now stop being a big baby and stop hiding from the world.
Yours sincerely
Draco
P.S. can I borrow your green shirt, you know the one that's too small for you! It'll look great on me and I want it when I go to Hogsmeade.
Marcus rolled his eyes, he got a piece of paper and a quill and wrote his reply, he tied the reply on the bird's leg and watched it fly away to his owner. Marcus fell back on the bed with a huff.
P/)
Harry watched as Draco's owl, flew down and landed gracefully in front of the Slytherin seeker, Draco took off the note, and the bird flew off. The two looked at each other, and simultaneously got up and quickly left the great hall. The two walked into the nearest empty classroom. Draco opened the letter as they both read it.
Draco, sod off! I don't care what everyone thinks about me!
Tell Adrian that it's none of his business
And I don't care about Oli…I mean Wood.
And I'm not re-sitting my year again if I fail, I just won't come back, I'm not going to be the oldest student in this school
Also it's up to me if I want to go to lessons or not.
So there!
Yours sincerely
Marcus
P.S. no you can't borrow my green shirt because you won't bring it back! I'VE ALREADY LENT YOU TWO OF MY OLD GREEN SHIRTS YOU'RE NOT BORROWING ANYMORE!
"You asked to borrow his old green shirt, and you always make fun of Ron for wearing hand me downs"
"In my defence, Marcus has good quality silk shirts. I only wear them once and then I never wear them again"
"Then why don't you give them back?"
"Because I lose them"
"Whatever, also what are we going to do about Flint"
"More persuasion, he's going to give up and talk to Wood eventually, also why isn't Wood getting off his arse and making an effort to go and talk to Marcus?"
"He feels like he's not worthy enough for Flint"
"Well that much is true"
"No, it's not!"
"Fine! So what do we do now?"
Harry thought about the question.
"Send Flint another letter"
"Yeah because the first one went so well"
"How about trying to be a bit more sympathetic"
"Explain?"
"I don't know say like 'I'm here if you want to talk to me' that sort of thing"
"Are you taking the piss?"
"Why?"
"Slytherin's don't sympathise"
"Well you better start now"
"Fine then but you better send a letter to Wood and get him to make a move"
"Fine"
"Fine! Potter?"
"What?"
"Can I borrow your quill?"
P/)
Marcus opened the letter the second letter he got from Draco.
Marcus look if you want someone to talk to, I'm all ears.
And I know this is hard for you, so you don't have to put on a brave face
Also I'm just worried about you and Wood does love you
He said it in front of everyone, come on give him a chance.
Hope you'll be alright
Yours sincerely
Draco
P.S. please, please, please can I borrow your green shirt!
Marcus nearly fell off the bed in shock; he narrowed his eyes as realisation hit him. He answered the letter then sent it off.
P/)
Harry and Draco read the letter down an empty corridor
Draco I know Potter dictated that letter for you!
Can't you both leave me alone!
And I am alright!
You know with my boyfriend telling me he didn't care for me then suddenly waking up and seeing him there sitting near me, pretending to be all sympathetic and shit, I'm absolutely FINE!
LEAVE ME ALONE!
Yours sincerely
Marcus (That's Flint to you Potter)
P.S. No you can not borrow the shirt! Give me 5 good reasons for why I should lend you it!
"You asked him again for that shirt?" Harry asked incredulous
"It's a really nice shirt"
"You're unbelievable" Harry quickly re-read the letter as he suddenly noticed something "Hey he still calls Oliver 'boyfriend', that's got to mean he still considers Oliver as his"
"Oh yeah, I have a plan" Draco said triumphantly
"Oh no" mumbled Harry as he shook his head disbelievingly.
P/)
Marcus growled at the owl as he yanked off the letter ad read it.
Fine, whatever Marcus!
Plus you must be right about Wood, seen as though he's got a new boyfriend!
Yeah, he's quite hot you know.
And he has the straightest whitest teeth in the world
Well apart from my teeth of course
Oh and he's smart!
I think even smarter than that Weasley in your year.
Well seen as though you're alright, I'm guessing you don't care!
Yours sincerely
Draco
P.S. My five reasons for you to let me borrow you shirt
1. I'll look gorgeous in it
2. I'll buy you a shirt that's better quality and fit you better
3. You don't wear it anyway
4. I am your good friend!
5. I'll look gorgeous in it!
He wiped the tears from his eyes, he breathed in and out heavily as he wrote the note.

Oliver was reading on his bed, he was trying to forget about Marcus, trying to take his mind off him, but it wasn't working; looking at the pictures in his book, images after images of Marcus filled his mind. He was only knocked out of his thoughts as Hedwig flew into the room. He read the note that came with the owl.
Oliver, hi, it's me Harry.
Look I know that you're really sad but look at it this way you could do much better than Flint.
I mean Flint has already got a new boyfriend
Ok so his boyfriend is known as one of the best Quittich Keepers in the whole of Hogwarts history.
And even though he's attractive and he worships the ground Flint walks on.
He's still not a scratch on you
Don't worry Oliver
Take care
Oliver felt his heart sink to the ground, as he replied to the letter.
P/)
Harry and Draco opened their letter simultaneously
"I'll go first" Harry said
"Why do you have to go first?" Draco argued
"Fine you go first" Harry sighed.
I don't care whether he's got a boyfriend.
No skin off my back!
I don't care one bit!
And what the fuck is this smart and perfect teeth bloke anyways!
Who is he?
He can't have Oliver! He's mine!
Yes I admit it, Oliver is mine and he can't go out with anyone else apart from me
I'll be down in the Great hall tomorrow to kick his head in.
Yours sincerely
Marcus
P.S. fine you can borrow my shirt even though, you repeated one of your reasons twice.
A green shirt fell on top of Draco, and an owl flew off. Harry started to read his letter.
Hi Harry,
What's the name of the bloke Marcus is dating?
I'd like to meet him
Actually I'd like to kill him
I'll meet you in the great hall tomorrow
From Oliver.
Harry and Draco shook hands in congratulations, a moment passed between them as they looked into each other's eyes. They felt themselves moving closer to each other until they realised what they were doing and they jumped apart suddenly and quickly ran away.
