Fred Weasley sneaked his head through the portrait and looked both ways to make sure the coast was clear.

“Alright, Percy’s gone” he whispered before walking out of the portrait followed by George, Lee, Angelina, Katie, Alicia, Oliver and (Y/N).

“How do you guys know where Percy went?” Katie asked him.

“We don’t” Fred and George replied.

“Well, then how do you know when he’ll be back?” Alicia asked a bit nervous.

“We don’t” they said at the same time.

“Being bad feels pretty good, huh?” George asked smirking.

“Shh! Guys, shut up, somebody is going to hear us” Angelina whispered as the group of friends walked through one of the secret passages the twins had shown them.

“Nobody comes through here, we’re fine” George assured her.

“I don’t really know how settling that is since you guys get caught continuously” (Y/N) said walking a little behind of the group with Oliver by her side.

“Don’t you trust us, (Y/N), dear?” Fred said placing his hand on her shoulders; both of them not noticing a certain brown-haired wizard glaring a little at them.

“Why of course I do, Freddie” she said mockingly as she wrapped her arm around his waist.

“We’re here” George said standing in front of the Hufflepuff Common Room. The four girls looked at them confused.

“Why are we here?” Alicia asked.

“Well, Hufflepuff is throwing a party because of their victory against Slytherin and Diggory invited us because he said they won today since we pointed out Slytherin’s weakness to them and that helped them” Oliver explained.

“Translation?” Angelina said looking at (Y/N).

“Most likely a bunch of girls invited the guys and they brought us along so they could get drunk and we’d get them back safe to Gryffindor” she stated.

“Hey!” the four of them said offended. “That is not how it happened!” Oliver told her but before she could reply, the door opened revealing a group of girls, led by Susan Bones, that giggled and looked dreamily at the four boys standing there.

“Hey, you guys made it” Susan said never taking her eyes off Oliver. (Y/N) turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow.

“Shut up” he said ignoring her and turning to the girls.

“Hello, ladies” George and Fred said smirking at them.

“Come on in” they said leading them inside.

The eight friends stepped inside the big room decorated with Hufflepuff’s colors. The party was already in full mode and they didn’t hesitate to follow the other ones’ steps. Throughout the entire time Susan Bones hadn’t left Oliver’s side; something that hadn’t passed (Y/N)’s attention.

“So, how are you doing with that?” (Y/N) jumped a little when Katie snapped her out of her thoughts.

“W-with what?”

“Susan and Oliver” Angelina said in an obvious tone.

“I don’t mind” (Y/N) said brushing it off. “Oliver can be with whoever he wants” she stated before she took another sip of her Firewhisky.

“Come on, (Y/N), it’s us” Alicia told her. “You can tell us the truth” she said.

“The truth?” (Y/N) asked a bit nervous. “And what exactly do you girls think is the truth?”

The other three girls exchanged looks before replying. “You’re still in love with Oliver.”

(Y/N) dropped her mouth a little. “S-still? E-excuse me but when was I ever in love with Oliver?”

“Always” Katie said.

“You guys even dated last year” Alicia pointed out.

“So? We broke up! So it doesn’t mean anything” (Y/N) defended herself.

“Why did you guys break up?” Angelina asked all of the sudden realizing none of them ever knew why they broke it off.

“Well… I don’t know” (Y/N) said sadly. “I guess we realized we were better off as friends” she said.

“Are you?” Katie asked.

“Are we what?”

“Better off as friends” she explained. “I mean, you guys practically act like a couple all the time” she said.

“We do not!”

“Yes, you do!” the three girls said together.

“You guys always sort of… flirt with the other” Alicia said.

“You hold hands” Katie pointed out. “Constantly.”

“He calls you love and you do that too sometimes” Angelina said.

“Neither one of you have dated anybody else ever since that” Alicia realized.

“He’s very protective of you” Katie told her and the other two nodded.

“And you’re always glaring at girls that come his way… you know, like you’re glaring at Susan right now” Angelina said snapping (Y/N) out of her trance and turn to look at them.

“Wha- I am not- ugh!” she grunted frustrated knowing she had been caught. “Look, none of that really matters. Oliver and I are friends and we said that’s what we’ll be, so if he wants to be with Susan then he can be with her for all I care!” she said trying not to sound as upset as she was. “You know what? This was stupid! I’m heading back” she said choking down what was her third Firewhisky and slamming the glass on the table. “I’ll see you girls later” she said walking away from them before they could reply.

She was almost at the door when she heard a voice calling her name, next to her.

“(Y/N)” she turned around to face none other than Cedric Diggory himself. “Are you leaving so soon?”

“Uh-“ she stuttered a little. The boy really was handsome. “Y-yeah, I’m not feeling too well so…”

“Oh” Cedric said a bit disappointed. “I was actually hoping you would… stay a little longer” he said with a small smile.

(Y/N) hesitated a little but then she heard Susan laugh really loud about something Oliver had apparently said. She glared a little when she saw her place her hand on Oliver’s arm and then looked at her three friends who were sort of encouraging to go for it. She looked back at Cedric who still looked hopeful and smiled at him.

“Uh, I guess I could stay for one more drink” she responded not noticing another Quidditch Captain glaring their way.

——————————————————————————————————

One more drink turned into several more drinks and soon enough (Y/N) was actually having a good time with Cedric, a few more boys from the Hufflepuff team and her three friends. The group of teenagers was currently playing a muggle game that Michael McManus taught them called ‘Beer-Pong’, or, in this case, ‘Firewhisky-Pong’.

“Yes! Drink it, Diggory!” (Y/N) said proudly once she managed to get the small ball inside the cup full of Firewhisky. It was girls vs. boys and currently, the boys were winning so it felt pretty good when they got one.

“I’m am fairly impressed, I gotta admit” Cedric said smiling. “Cheers!” he said before drinking the whole thing. (Y/N) giggled a little as the rest of the boys chanted for Cedric to finish the drink. She may be a little drunk. Fine, really drunk.

“Uh, (Y/N)” she turned around to see Oliver with a worried look on his face. “C-can I talk to you for a second?”

“I’m busy, Wood” she said shrugging it off. Oliver felt a tug on his heart. (Y/N) never called him Wood. Even when they were angry at each other.

“Yeah, she’s busy, Wood” Cedric said from the other side of the table making Oliver glare at him.

“(Y/N), I need to talk to you” he said in a more demanding tone. “Now” he said before grabbing her hand and leading her away from the group.

“What the bloody hell, Wood? I’m in the middle of a game-“

“How much have you had to drink?” he asked concerned. It wasn’t like her to get this drunk.

“Hey” she said placing her hands on Oliver’s cheeks and bringing it closer to hers just so they were inches apart. “Your eyes got a bit of green in them” she said with a small smile before releasing him and giggling a little.

Oliver ignored the heat he felt on his cheeks. “(Y/N), you’re drunk” he said worriedly.

“I’m not drunk! You’re drunk!” she said childishly.

“Really? So you just cling yourself to Cedric Diggory all the time, then?”

“Unlike your girlfriend Susan, I do not cling, Oliver! And what’s it to you if I’m spending time with Cedric? He happens to be quite charming” she said.

“He happens to be an idiot who only jumps from girl to girl!” Oliver stated.

“Well, it shouldn’t matter to you, I’m not your girlfriend!”

“But you’re my best friend, (Y/N) and I care about you, love-“

“Don’t call me love” she said bitterly breaking Oliver’s heart a little. “We wouldn’t want your new girlfriend Susan to get mad at me now, do we?”

“What? Susan isn’t my-“

“Why did you break up with me?” she blurted all of the sudden making Oliver freeze.

“Uh- w-what do you m-mean, I didn’t b-break up with you w-we both decided-“

“No, you decided” she said with a broken voice. “You said that we were better off as friends. I just said alright, but it’s not alright” she started rambling. “I don’t want to be just friends” she spat out.

“Hey, (Y/N)! Is your turn!” the two of them heard one of the boys callong for her from the table.

“Oh, right! I best get back” she said going back to her old self as if nothing had just happened between them.

“(Y/N), wait” Oliver said grabbing her hand. “We should talk about this” he said sadly.

“About what?” she asked pretending to be confused. “I don’t want to be just friends but you do. There’s nothing to talk about… Wood” she said before walking away from him and leaving a sad Oliver behind her.

“Everything alright?” Cedric asked when he noticed her mood had changed.

“Yeah, fine” she said with a small smile.

“Huh, so what do you say you and I go somewhere a bit more… private” Cedric said a little too suggestively for (Y/N)’s liking.

“Uh- w-well, actually I’m having fun here” she said uncertainly. “A-and it’s getting kind of late, we should probably get going-“

“Oh, come on, just a bit more” Cedric said making puppy eyes at her. (Y/N) squinted her eyes a little and looked at him weirdly. “What?”

“Your eyes don’t have green on them” she said saddened.

“Uh- I’m sorry?” Cedric asked genuinely confused.

“Um- n-nothing I just uh- I’ve gotta go” she said wanting to get out of there as fast as she could.

“Come on, we’re having fun, stay a bit longer” Cedric insisted grabbing (Y/N)’s wrist a bit tighter. (Y/N)’s mood changed completely.

“No. I want to leave” she said getting upset. “Let go of me” she said trying to get out of his grasp but not really succeeding.

Cedric let out a sarcastic laugh. “Fine” he said glaring at her a little. “I wouldn’t want Wood’s sloppy seconds either way” he said letting go of her.

(Y/N) was too shocked to react at his comment but in no time, Oliver had thrown himself at Cedric punching him in the face.

“Oliver!” (Y/N) said a bit frightened before Cedric punched him back. The two boys started going at it until they heard a loud crack.

“Argh! Fuck, Wood, I think you broke my nose!” Cedric said holding his already bloody nose.

“You’re lucky that’s the only thing I’m breaking, Diggory!” Oliver said with venom in his voice. (Y/N) had never seen him that mad. The twins and Lee had quickly made their way to stand next to Oliver but so had a bunch of Hufflepuff’s. And since they were in their Common Room they were really outnumbered.

“Uh, maybe we should leave” George said a bit nervous.

“Yeah, maybe you should” Cedric said glaring at Oliver and (Y/N).

The guys didn’t need to be told twice. Each one of the guys grabbed a girl and quickly made their way out of the Common Room. (Y/N) pulled Oliver away from the Hufflepuff Captain and they walked out as well.

“Well, I guess is safe to say that Hufflepuff probably hates us as much as Slytherin does now” Angelina stated once they had made their way back to the Gryffindor Tower. They all parted ways leaving Oliver and (Y/N) by themselves.

Oliver grabbed (Y/N)’s hand and helped her towards the couch since she was still stumbling a little. “Are you alright?”

“I should be asking you that” she said smiling sadly when she saw the bruise already forming on his left eye.

“This? Please, I took a Bludger to the head once, remember?” he said making her giggle a little before she rested her head on his chest.

“You didn’t need to punch Diggory, love” she said almost asleep. Oliver couldn’t be happier that she’d called him that again.

“Yes, I did. He had no right to talk about you the way he did” he said kissing the top of her head. “Do you want to go to your dorm?”

“Mhm” she said more asleep than awake. Oliver stood up and gently picked the girl up in his arms. He silently made his way towards her dorm where Katie, Alicia and Angelina were already asleep and placed her on her bed.

He put the blankets over her and kissed her forehead. “Night, love” he whispered seeing a small smile appearing on her face.

“How long have you been in love with (Y/N)?” Oliver jumped a little bit when he heard Katie’s voice. The girl was smiling sweetly at the couple in front of her.

“Longer than I can remember” he said not even able to deny it anymore.

“You should tell her” Katie suggested.

Oliver smiled at the sleeping girl once more and then back at Katie. “I’ll think about it” he said.

“Good enough” Katie said yawning. “Night, Oliver” she said turning around and falling back asleep.

“Night, Katie” Oliver said before looking at (Y/N) again.

“Ollie?” he heard (Y/N) mumbled in her sleep.

“Yes, love? Do you need anything?” he asked kneeling in front of her.

“Stay with me” she said not opening her eyes.

“(Y/N), you know the rules I can’t-“

“They won’t say anything” she said pulling his hand now. “Please?”

Oliver sighed knowing he wouldn’t be able to deny her that. 

“Alright, love” he kicked off his shoes and climbed into bed next to her. As if it was a reflex, (Y/N) snuggled herself against him.

“I missed you” he heard her whisper before her breathing slowed down. He smiled down at the girl in his arms and kissed her forehead. 

“I missed you too, love.”

——————————————————————————————————

Ugh! I am never drinking again! (Y/N) felt as if her head was about to explode the next day. She squinted her eyes to not let the sun in. She carefully tried to remember the events on the previous night and understand how it got so bad. She opened her eyes only to notice that her roommates were already gone. And then, she felt it. She felt an arm wrapped around her waist. Dreading what she would find she slowly turned around and felt her heart sinking when she saw an asleep Oliver Wood. A shirtless asleep Oliver Wood.

“Oh no” she muttered before she snapped back in. “Oh shit, shit, shit, shit!” she said pushing herself away from Oliver causing her to fall on the floor and waking up the Quidditch Captain.

“(Y/N)” she heard Oliver’s sleepy voice as he peeked his head from the bed. “What’s wrong?”

“Oh, lord! Oh, Merlin!” she said feeling her head matching her house’s colors as she brought the blankets to her face. “Oh, Merlin! Oliver did we-?”

“What?” Oliver said confused before widening his eyes realizing what she meant. “What? No! (Y/N), n-no, nothing happened” he said seeing her sigh in relief. “N-no, I just brought you here because you couldn’t really walk and you asked me to stay with you and that’s it, love” he explained.

“Oh” (Y/N) said a bit relieved. She slowly stood up and sat back on the bed. “Did I actually drink that much?” she said a bit embarrassed.

“Well, yeah” Oliver said with a small chuckle. He reached out to place a loose strand of her messy hair behind her ear and (Y/N) smiled at him. “You girls and some Hufflepuff guys were playing something called Beer-Pong” he explained.

(Y/N) felt all of the color drain from her face when he mentioned that. The entire night came flooding back to her. the Beer-Pong, the fight between Oliver and Cedric, Susan Bones, her talk with Oliver. Oh Merlin! Her talk with Oliver! Knowing her more than she knew herself, Oliver sensed that she was overthinking the previous night.

“(Y/N)” he said softly and she turned to look at him. “Did you- do you remember what you said last night?” he asked a bit awkwardly.

“I uh- I do” she said not looking up.

“D-did you mean it?”

(Y/N) bit her lip nervously and felt her eyes fill up with a few tears. She couldn’t keep on hiding it anymore. “Um- I did” she said sadly and looking away. “I’m sorry, Ollie, I don’t want this to ruin our friendship! I don’t want to lose you! I promise if you want us to be just friends, I can do that, I just-“

(Y/N) was suddenly cut off when Oliver pulled her face towards him and crashed his lips against hers. She was a bit surprised at first but quickly gave in. It was just as amazing as she remembered. She placed her hand on his non-bruised side of the face and he tangled his hand in her hair. After a while they both pulled apart resting their foreheads together.

“I don’t want to be just friends” Oliver whispered making (Y/N)’s smile widen. “I know I screwed up last time but… I was an idiot. I was just, scared that I might mess this up and that I would lose you forever but… I want you. All of you” he said making (Y/N)’s tears fall down her cheeks but for a completely different reason. “I love you (Y/N)” he said kissing her cheek. “I got you” he said kissing her other cheek. “I promise” he said smiling before kissing her nose. “And I’m not going anywhere” he said before capturing her lips again. (Y/N) smiled against his lips as he laid her on her back with him on top, never breaking the kiss.

“I love you too, Wood” she said laughing when he glared a little at her. “I’m kidding, love” she said as she rested her head on his chest once more and he kissed the top of her head. “So, we’re really doing this? I mean, for real this time?” she asked a little nervous.

Oliver pulled away just a little so he could face her and leaned in to kiss her again. “I’m not going anywhere, love” he whispered making (Y/N) smile brightly at him. 

This felt perfect. This is how it was supposed to be. And this time, there was no way either one would let go. They weren’t going anywhere.
