Terrible Words

"I'm sorry Oliver, but the two of us just won't work anymore," Percy Weasley said. On the first day back in Hogwarts. "It's not your fault. I simply found her."

"Your soulmate?" Oliver asks weakly. That's what he had been afraid of the entire time. Neither of them had said each other's words, but Percy had assured him it didn't matter.

Oliver loved the concept of soulmates, because there was one person that would always support you, always be on your side. He just hated the words that were written across his torso.

Were you dumped or something? Cause I can totally leave if you want.

That did not promise a nice start of their relationship.

The new Prefect nodded. "Yes. Penelope and I met at this morning in the prefect compartment on the train and-"

"I don't care," Oliver deadpanned. "You said that it didn't matter. You said you wouldn't leave me and now you do."

Percy shook his head. "Once upon a time that was the truth, but now that I actually met her that is different. I can't explain it, it just is."

"If all you wanted was the true love, then why on earth did you use me like this?!"

He didn't give Percy a chance to reply as he turned around and ran to the place he felt most at home: the Quidditch field.

What surprised him was that there was another person there. It was the twins' friend, Lee Jordan. The two of them had never really talked before or if they did, Oliver couldn't recall it.

"I actually came here to be alone, because I didn't think anyone else would be here already," Oliver confessed when the dark skinned boy raised an eyebrow.

Lee flinched. "Were you dumped or something? Cause I can totally leave if you want."

Now it was Oliver's turn to flinch. He had never heard this words spoken by anyone but his mother before and this was so much worse.

A few seconds passed until Lee realised what just happened.

"Wait, did I just say your words? Cause you said mine."

Oliver blinked. "Yes, you did. And I thought I was the only one with such terrible words."

Please tell me what you think!
