I have come to the painful realization that in order for the spell checker to admit my writing is at least high school senior level, I canโ€™t have blocks of just dialogue in the middle of my WIP.

Anyways brb crying over Sirius and Regulus while relentlessly working to wreck yโ€™allโ€™s hearts over these two. Hurt no comfort.

Please do not repost my work anywhere else aka other platform, this is all my original work and I donโ€™t exactly want anyone reposting it hahah ๐Ÿ˜ญ the only thing I allow anyone to do with my work is reblog on tumblr!

my name is Mochi (no it ainโ€™t), I am a 20 year old female. I write for funsies and I love the color pink and dark red teehee. I have a bf who supports my writing lol. and I write mostly for Draco malfoy but I can also extend to the following:

-eddie munson

-peter parker

- miguel ohara

- ron weasley

- harry potter

- nct members

- bts members

- seventeen members

- jjk boys

- mha boys.

along with writing those characters I also have things i DO NOT under any circumstances write for, which is stated below:

-scat

-piss

-incest

-any characters that are under the age of 18 (smut unless stated that they are aged up)

-any thing dealing with SA, R@pe, or P:dophilia

-i also do not state anything political, religious, or anything pertaining to anything that may be happening to the world as to not โ€œchooseโ€ sides or show any relation to violence as violence makes me uncomfortable.

if anyone tries to ask for any of these dislikes or states any of them( aka asking me my stance on a political matter etc etc) you will be automatically blocked. And as the same with most writers on tumblr,

also would like to say that just because i do not like talking about politics and religion in my blog, doesnโ€™t mean i do not believe or stand with a certain side as i choose to remain anonymous because people are annoying in the internet and shame you for not talking about shit ur uncomfy with.

no ageless, faceless, or minors allowed. if you are found to be any of these, you will automatically be blocked.

enjoy ๐ŸŽ€๐ŸŽ€

โMy Love Is Mine All Mineโž

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Draco Malfoy x Hufflepuff! Reader

synopsis โ€œWhere Draco Malfoy has loved YN since first year and doesnโ€™t plan on telling her until she comes back from holiday and comes back dating someone new.โ€

contents โ€œVery cutesy female reader, 18 years of age for both, Angst, Mentions of cheating, smut: vaginal piv sex, mating press, vaginal fingering and eating, blowjob, lowkey dirty dirty sex, praise, hair pulling, drool, making out, reader is on birth control (but is not openly said)โ€

notes โ€œLowkey inspired by the Rachel and Ross and Julie episodes of friends. Lets all pretend that Draco was not building a special special cabinet and that he was not a death eater, and voldemort is not a thing Okay! Also...I JUST HAD TO MAKE DRACO A LIL MUSHY GUSHY ALRIGHT?โ€

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

He was running. He never thought he would ever be running for anyone, especially a girl. Well, woman now. But he was still running, nevertheless. Running because he realized that now was the time was right. He, Draco Malfoy was running to the Hogwarts Express to finally tell Y/n L/n that he was downright in love with her, and had been since the moment he laid eyes on her.

The Hogwarts Express sat there in all its glory as students flooded out. All were happy as the snow that was falling around them caused a few to slip around as they giggled with their friends. Draco had just made it as he began to search desperately, accidentally running into Blaise as he held hands with Pansy. โ€œDraco, Mate, what's the rush?โ€ Blaise said as he turned around to get no answer, and instead watched the back of Draco.

He was whipping his head around, feeling his robe fluttering behind him as he walked briskly through everyone, still searching for the girl that was engraved into his head 24/7. Everyone moved out of the way, and some were pushed, but even through all that, he still couldnโ€™t find the girl, but the moment he did.

Oh, he wished he didnโ€™t.

โ€œHi, Draco! I thought you stayed at school for a holiday?โ€ She exclaimed the minute she saw him. โ€œI-I did.โ€ He was stuttering, not good. A look of concern crossed her face. โ€œAre you alright?โ€ She said still holding the hand of the brunette next to her.

โ€˜Fucking Harry Potter, out of anyone else, she chose the fucking guy he hated with his whole being.โ€™

โ€œYeah, I'm okay. I was just looking for Blaise.โ€ The Blonde said with a deep frown, completely masking his heartbreak. โ€œI think he was back-โ€ She got interrupted as Draco briskly walked past her. She watched him walk away as a flicker of hurt flashed in her eyes. โ€œYou okay, Sweetheart?โ€ Harry asked as he looked at the girl, smiling quickly and she shook her head shyly.

A week later he saw the two again in the library, Potter blabbering on with Weasley and Granger about something Snape said. Of course, he didnโ€™t pay too much about him but rather to the girl dressed in Hufflepuff robes.

Y/n was studying next to the boy, Draco knowing the pressure of getting good grades as she too is a pure blood with pressuring parents. A look of annoyance crosses her face and Harry knocks her arm as sheโ€™s writing what he can assume is an essay for a class. โ€œSorry,โ€ Harry muttered looking at her and then looking back at his friends.

A following week later, He saw them again at a party in the Ravenclaw Dorms. Harry had his arm around her as he talked Vividly with Cho Chang. The girl looked out of place at the party, even though there were other Hufflepuffs, some even eyeing him up as he stared at the other girl across the room.

Y/n did not look like she enjoyed being at this party, the girl was dressed in a pastel pink dress a pretty pink ribbon in her hair, and pretty ruby red Mary Jane heels. She bit her lip as she looked at her boyfriend again as he continued to just talk to Cho completely ignoring her as he hovered in tipsy euphoria. Then her pretty doe eyes caught his. And she smiled. And waved. And he waved back with a smile as well.

And did Harry hate that? The minute he recognized the blonde he had started to argue with the girl. Tears and yelling, a lot of yelling actually. Mostly from Harry though as he wouldnโ€™t let the girl get a word in. And to end it, out of pure spite, he kicked Y/n away and onto the curb like a sad puppy. Draco had watched the whole thing, and although he had to hold his tongue. He opted to turn the boy a bright shade of red by punching him in the nose and running after Y/n who had run out crying moments before.

โ€œY/n?โ€ Draco called out as he saw the girl in the corridors staring out the window, cold air flowing through as the snow fell outside the school. The girl looked at him as her glittery eyeshadow ran down her cheeks, looking as if she cried tears of diamonds.

โ€œIt's cold out tonight.โ€ He remarked walking to stand next to her as she leaned into a column next to the open expanse of the building. She was sniffling lightly as she continued to let her tears flow freely in a glimmery river.

Draco sighed and took off the coat he was wearing and draped it over her shoulders. He continued to admire her, And That's when it clicked for him. โ€œY/nโ€ฆโ€ she looked at him with such a sad look. He took a deep breath before gently grabbing her face, and kissing her deeply.

The girl's eyes widened and she let out a gasp and pushed him away gently. โ€œDraco, wha-why?โ€ She stuttered out, covering her mouth as more tears started to trail down her face. โ€œY/n.โ€ He breathed. โ€œIโ€™ve loved you since the first year. You deserve the world. I donโ€™t know what else to say without sounding completely foolish but I am so in love with you that you should not be with someone as idiotic as fucking Potter.โ€ She continued to cry as she continued to look at him.

โ€œI love you so much and I would treat you the way that you deserve to be treated, like a princess. A way that Potter is not. I would kill for you, I would die for you, Move the heavens and earth for you. I love you.โ€ He spewed out. Breathing heavily as the girl removed his coat and gently handed it to him, walking away a few paces ahead of him, before turning to face him.

โ€œDraco. I love you too.โ€ Y/n whispered, โ€œBut I canโ€™t be with you. Iโ€™m with Harry. I'm so sorry.โ€ She whispered before briskly walking away from him. And Draco felt his heart break even more, so he turned and walked towards the dungeon. He hadnโ€™t felt heartbreak before and he didnโ€™t know that his tears would flow with it. So he walked away, hands stuffed in his pockets as he muttered to himself.

Y/n regretted walking away the minute she turned away from the blonde. She had loved him for the longest time but just never wanted to tell him for fear of rejection and losing the soft spot he had for her while he continued to keep his mean demeanor for everyone else. She loved him so much. She fantasized about being his, and no one else's. She fantasized about the relationship that would've bloomed for the two. She fantasized about him meeting her family, formally as hers. She fantasized about being used by him in the midnight hours when her roommates were out, folding her in half and into his mattress, cock slotted perfectly between them, connecting them intimately. Moans and groans and handsy touching, and him whispering about how good he felt.

She made it back to the party to try to talk to Harry, to apologize. The crowded room was full of drunk students, suffocating in the room as she continued to search only to run into Hermione and Ron, looks of hurt and shock as they saw the girl. โ€œY/n, what's the matter?โ€ The brunette asked her as Ron also looked at her in concern as he took a tissue out of his pocket to hand to Hermione, to wipe her glittery river of tears. โ€œJust a fight with a friend and Harry is all. Where is he?โ€ sniffling as she held Hermione's hand gently. โ€œI donโ€™t exactly know,โ€ Hermione answered looking towards Ron who just shrugged. โ€œWe could help you look.โ€ Ron finished.

โ€œOh, that's quite alright. I think I can manage-โ€ The girl was cut off as a storage closet opened to reveal Cho Chang with none other than her Boyfriend, Harry. People were either gasping or cheering for the golden boy as he stumbled out with a goofy grin as Cho hung off of him. Clothing touseled, and makeup and hair smeared as they giggled to themselves.

โ€œOh, Y/n.โ€ Hermione gasped as she hugged the girl who just stood in shock while staring at the two. Filled with boiling anger as she recounted the numerous hidden arguments between the two talking about his relationship with the said ravenclaw. She didnโ€™t even move as frustrated tears flooded her cheeks for the third time that night. Before even moving towards the two or removing the brunette that was comforting her from the side, Ron was the first of the three to move. โ€œFucking hell Harry.โ€

โ€œWhat? We were just having some fun.โ€ Cho replied drunkenly. โ€œWith a man in a relationship no less.โ€ Ronโ€™s voice grew in decibels, causing others to look towards the commotion.โ€Then we can keep it a secret.โ€ Harry replied with an eye roll as he stumbled forward, hand groping the breast of the raven-haired girl next to him. โ€œWell, the secretsโ€™ out.โ€ Y/n scowled out. Both Harry and Choโ€™s faces paled at seeing the girl. Who as the author must say, is the prettiest girl in all of Hogwarts.

Sharply wiping her eyes, she walked up to Harry and slapped the boy back to Hogsmeade. โ€œYou bitch.โ€ Cho slurred as she went to grab Harry. โ€œSays the one that goes after people's relationships,โ€ Y/n growled. โ€œHarry when you are fully sober, find me tomorrow so I can properly break up with you.โ€ And she strutted off. Straight to the Slytherin quarters.

Draco had just got to the hallway of the Slytherin dorms when he heard his name being called, inhaling sharply as he heard her sweet tone call for him. He rubbed his hands on his face before turning towards the voice. There she was still in the pretty baby pink slip dress and red heels as before. โ€œY/nโ€ฆโ€ He said waiting for her to answer, pretty pissed from their earlier talk. โ€œI-โ€ she stuttered as she grew shy under his scrutinizing gaze. โ€œWell, get on with it. I donโ€™t have all night.โ€ Draco snapped, crossing his arms over his strong chest.

She walked up to him until they were inches from each other. โ€œI love you, Draco Malfoy. So fucking much.โ€ she threw her arms around his neck as she pulled him down towards her awaiting lips. His eyes widened as he gripped her hips tight enough to bruise. She opened her mouth to allow his waiting tongue in. Sucking, moaning, and dirty mess as they separate breathing heavily. โ€œWhat happened to earlier?โ€ He asked heavily. โ€œI realized that you were completely right,โ€ she answered shakily as she tried to catch her breath. โ€œI deserve better, and I love you, and you love me.โ€

She took a deep breath as she looked up at his grey eyes as he kept his grip on her hips. โ€œYou said you would kill for me, and die for me, move the heavens and earth. Draco Lucius Malfoy, I love you,โ€ She finished as he looked down at her hungrily. โ€œAnd I want you to treat me the way that I know I deserve, and like a princess.โ€ He learned to push her up against the wall as he began to nibble and kiss at her neck, causing her to let out sweet moans as she gripped his broad shoulders. They continued to kiss heavily as they swallowed the arousing noises any of them would make.

โ€œDraco,โ€ She whimpered as he stopped to look down at her through his lashes. โ€œPlease.โ€ She begged quietly as she gripped his black button-up and began to get on her knees to please him. โ€œAnything you want, Princess.โ€ He groaned as she made haste for his buckle not even caring that anyone could walk down the hallway and catch them. She had finally freed him from his trousers, feeling the heavy weight of his pretty cock in her smaller hands.

โ€œWhatever you want,โ€ Draco said as he looked down at her, moving the hair to go behind her ears, careful of her pretty pink bow that rested in the pretty little updo she wore. He gasped quietly when she took the first lick towards the leaky head. โ€œJust like that Darling. So good.โ€ He groaned as she swallowed around his thick girth. A slobbery mess of spit and precum turned into a pretty clear gloss on the girl's lips as she deepthroated him, careful of any gagging.

Soon the blonde let out a deep groan as his milky white filed into her mouth, down her throat. He let out a deep chuckle as he pulled the girl up by her chin and kissed her again, tasting his own self on her tongue. They disconnected as Draco fixed his pants and flipped the girl so that she was the one with her back leaning against the wall. He gets on the ground and lifts the skirt of her dress to pull her pretty pink panties down her legs, to see that they too had a bow in the middle. โ€œSuch a pretty girl with pretty panties.โ€ He says against her thighs as he pulls the skirt to go over and cover his blonde locks.

She had felt his hot breath on her puffy pussy as it swelled up from having no friction. He gave a quick kitten lick before completely burying his tongue in between her. Sucking hard on her clit and fucking her deep with his tongue with her leg hoisted above his shoulder and hands covering her mouth as she shyly let out sounds of pleasure.

โ€œDraco,โ€ Y/n whined as she let her senses heighten as she began to reach her peak. โ€œYes, Princess.โ€ He smiled up at her as the dress fell off his head, showing his messy hair and glossy lips with her own sweetness. โ€œI need it.โ€ She said as she stuttered and tears pricked her eyes once again. โ€œNeed what, hmm?โ€ Draco said as he bunched the dress up her waist and held it there.

โ€œNeed you to make me cum, please.โ€

โ€œSo dirty,โ€ He said leaning to let her watch him lick her clit, โ€œBut so polite, I might consider it.โ€ He said looking up at her and letting one of his hands flow down her navel to wear his mouth is, collecting the slick. Then letting two fingers enter her and fuck her gently. The loud squelching of her wetness and his own slurps as he continued to eat her. The pressure built up quicker than she thought, and she came in a silent scream as her cum began to dribble down her thighs and down Dracoโ€™s mouth. He let go of her pussy as he continued to thrust threw her orgasm, staring up at the girl with hazy grey eyes and mouth open in a wide grin as he watched his lover who held a scrunched-up face and tears flowing and drool dribbling down from her mouth.

Feeling the overstimulation, Y/n cried out as she gripped Dracoโ€™s wrist as he continued to thrust his fingers into her, smiling coyly up at her as he slick continued to drip onto the ground. โ€œD-Draco,โ€ She gasped out as she continued to grab at his hand, โ€œPlease, j-just fuck m-me already.โ€ He finally stopped, getting up as he pulled her dress down, looking down at her pretty ruby red Mary Jane that was wet with droplets that dripped from her. He pulled her towards her roughly to messily kiss her again as he felt the intense heat that radiated from her. Gripping her and scratching at her back as they moaned into each other's mouths.

โ€œCome one, let's give my princess all the pleasure that she can take.โ€ He rasped between their lips quickly grabbing her by the hips and leading her into the next hallway where the Slytherin dorms were. โ€œPure-Blood.โ€ He replied gruffly when they approached the stone wall to the Slytherin common room.

The common room was empty as most of the occupants were still at the Ravenclaw party, the only people in the common room were just Pansy and Blaise. โ€œY/n what sight to see.โ€ Pansy chuckled in her position on Blaise's lap as they never expected to see the shy Hufflepuff in their common room, with Draco nonetheless. โ€œHi,โ€ Y/n said quietly as Draco led her straight to the stairs going toward the Male Dormitories. โ€œBye,โ€ The couple said as they watched Draco push the girl out of the Common Room. โ€œWell, they look like they are having fun,โ€ Blaise remarked. โ€œWhat if we go have fun while your people are still out,โ€ Pansy smirked as she got off his lap and waited for him to follow her.

Draco pushed Y/n into his single dorm prefect room, panting heavily as he began unbuttoning his shirt. Lifting the dress above her hips, Y/n paused as Draco stopped her. โ€œA princess shouldnโ€™t need to undress herself. Let me.โ€ he pulled the silky pink above her head as she stared at his bare chest. Muscles bulging as he maneuvered himself to push her onto the edge of the bed as he stared at her bare chest. โ€œSo pretty.โ€ He watched as she covered herself with her arms, watching as he kneeled on the ground to remove her heels, now only in her white calf-high socks.

He grabbed her hands as she went to take out her bow. โ€œKeep it on.โ€ He said before kissing her chest, sucking on her pretty nipples. Y/n could only sit there, arching her back as he sucked bruises into her skin. He unbuckled himself and began undressing so that he was bare with her as he began to fondle her breasts as well. She arched herself into Draco as he gripped her bare back.

โ€œDraco, darling please just fuck me already.โ€ She moaned out after pushing him away, gently giving sweet kisses against his lips. โ€œAlright, Alright, just be patient yeah?โ€ He chuckles as he pushes her back, crawling onto the bed. Slotting himself between her legs, folding her legs so that her thighs meet her own shoulders, just like in her fantasies. He sits back on his haunches as he holds her knees together with one big hand, taking his cock in the other and trailing it back and forth against her slick pussy, watching as more slick gushes out of her as she moaned quietly to himself.

Then he slid himself in, groaning at the tightness and how warm it was inside her squishy walls. โ€œMy princess feels so good, squeezing around me. Iโ€™m gonna fill you up so good.โ€ He groaned out throwing his head back. Sliding back out to just fuck the tip in and out of her. She felt her walls stretching to their limit by just his tip, feeling the fullness already even if it was not his full length. โ€œD-Draco, so big.โ€ She moaned out feeling the stretch as he dragged his cock into her again. โ€œI know sweetheart, be patient.โ€ He cooed as he stared at the girl's face before fully pushing in.

The mating press he had her in making the both feel how full and deep he was in her. Her cunt hugging his cock as he hammered into her, surprised by how pliable the girl was. The stretch felt as amazing as ever and the tightness having them both rolling their eyes.

โ€œcumming.โ€ the girl whimpered. โ€œwhat was that?โ€ he answered smirking as he pushed in balls deep and began rubbing her clit in tight , fast circles. The girl began crying again and stuttered out โ€œcumming.โ€ once again as her slick began to rush out like a fountain.

Draco didnโ€™t stop thrusting as the girl still remained crying out , clawing at his biceps from the overstimulation. โ€œCan you keep going, pretty?โ€ he tilted his head at her, awaiting her answer. And she just nodded with a look of awe at the mess he made of her.

This time he folded her up in his lap in a full nelson. Full pussy and loving how she was manhandled. and it wasnโ€™t even 5 minutes of thrusting before she was squirting again, making more of a mess as it dribbled down his own cock and down his legs. โ€œDarling, you really need to stop making such a big mess.โ€ He grabbed her chin to kiss her again.

โ€œIโ€™m almost finished with you, are you able to keep going?โ€ Draco said after putting her legs down so that she was sitting there on his dick. โ€œmhm.โ€ she said as she just looked at him, before kissing his neck. โ€œwhere do you want it?โ€ he said as he slowly thrusted in her as she was in his lap.

โ€œinside please.โ€ she said as he laid back, keeping her on his dick and putting her in a cowgirl. โ€œSo polite.โ€ he muttered as he put his hand around her neck, choking her softly. Propping his knees up so that she was chest to chest with him, he used his free hand to hold her hips down to meet his harsh thrusts.

โ€œDraco, please cum in me .โ€ she mewled as he was grunting underneath her. โ€œDonโ€™t worry, I plan too.โ€ and she soon felt herself tighten around him again, this time he was nearing his own peak as he bit into her neck. โ€œPlease!โ€ she screamed out as she came on him, this time she felt herself being filled up by his own cum as he groaned against her neck.

slouching on top of him, the actions of them finally set in, where she covered her face and cowered away in embarrassment. Trying to ease herself off from the impalement , the blonde pulled her close to him , groaning softly at the way the girl lightly clenched on him.

โ€œDraco..โ€ the girl whispered, looking him in the eyes. โ€œWe canโ€™t stay like this.โ€ She said referring to the indecency they were in. Although the boy had a private dorm, she did feel a bit awkward with the way that she was still naked. Then of course there are certain things that did need to be discussed.

The two had finally unsheathed and began to dress again. โ€œDraco..โ€ the girl said as she sat there in her dress watching as he buttoned up his shirt halfway, letting the rest stay unbuttoned.

โ€œWhat does all of this mean?โ€ She said watching as he lifted his head, smiling slightly. โ€œThe sex, the โ€˜I love youโ€™sโ€™?โ€

โ€œIt means I love youโ€ฆ Y/n.โ€ He said approaching her. โ€œIt means I want to be with you, share experiences with you. Give you every ounce of my love.โ€ He said as he lifted her head, kissing her gently again.

โ€œBut what about Har-โ€œ โ€œHe canโ€™t appreciate you like I do darling. He showed that at the party with that filthy Ravenclaw.โ€ He said holding her in his arms. โ€œI love you Y/n and I plan to show you as well as the rest of the world.โ€ he chuckled โ€œItโ€™s a plus that I can show that Potter that too.โ€

ยฐ โŽ โœง โœง โŽ ยฐ

That next day he did in fact show Harry, by placing a big kiss , slightly embarrassing the girl as others watched in enjoyment.

โ€œYou cheated on me!โ€ Harry blubbered on, Cho standing behind him, looking as if she got slapped. Standing next to other Ravenclaws as everyone watched as Hermione and Ron held the brunettes from pulling out his wand in his fury.

โ€œPotter, don't flatter yourself. Yesterday night I, as well as everyone in this courtyard saw you kissing that girl behind you. And right in front of Y/n I might add.โ€ Draco said, pushing Y/n behind him as he pointed at Cho.

โ€œMerlin, youโ€™re crazier than I thought.โ€ Y/n whispered behind him smiling. He looked behind himself to smile at her. โ€œYou have no one to blame but yourself.โ€ He said taking one last look at Harry before bringing Y/n to the dining hall, Showing their love more and more.

Hereโ€™s the next chapter of my Artemis Fowl & Harry Potter crossover fic. New chapter next week!

"You're an idiot." "But you love me."

This got way out of control, but whatevs.ย Thank you to @theroomofreq @frustratedpoetwrites and @ofmermaidsandmarauders for looking over this monster. Siriusly, I love you all.

Summary: Percy and Oliver start dating. Percy doesnโ€™t realize it.ย 

Ao3 hindsight Youโ€™ll see me in hindsight, tangled up with you all night. Burninโ€™ it down.ย 

--

Percy receives the wedding invitation on a Tuesday morning when heโ€™s well into his second cup of coffee and struggling through the morning crossword.ย 

Itโ€™s a typical morning until the tiny little owl flutters towards his window, bouncing across the frame twice until it finally makes it in.ย 

Percy shakes his head, taking the letter off with great care as Pig struggles in his hold. Ron could easily afford a new owl by now. He really needs a new owl, but heโ€™s attached to this little hellion, and Percy doesnโ€™t want to overstep his bounds by suggesting he trade it out like he did with his brotherโ€™s best mate years ago.ย 

Not that he thinks Ron would make the connection, but still, looking at the wedding invitation with his name written out in neat scrawl, he doesnโ€™t want to jinx anything.

He doesnโ€™t quite believe that itโ€™s real.

Heโ€™s expecting the letter, of course. Itโ€™s for his own brotherโ€™s wedding, after all, but thereโ€™s still the thumping of his heart when he realizes that heโ€™s allowed to be invited. That his presence is wanted. Welcomed.ย 

He quickly writes back that heโ€™s planning to attend, and ticks off which dinner entree he would like.ย 

He goes about the rest of his day feeling just a bit lighter.

--

The war ends up rekindling more than just Percyโ€™s relationships with his family.ย 

Oliver Wood, who he remembers seeing fighting the Battle of Hogwarts like some sort of vigilante on a broom, is now a constant presence in his life. It started after his brotherโ€™s funeral, where he looked up from the old family Oak tree and right into the eyes of the boy he used to give detentions for sneaking out to fly his broom in the middle of the night.ย 

Oliver had been his first in so many versions of the term.ย 

His first crush on another man. His first kiss, where he was a fumbling, awkward boy of just thirteen, pressing his lips in a thin, hard line against the open mouth of someone who smelled like sweat and Quidditch gear. And then all the stolen kisses in the years after that, where Percy learned to open his mouth and tilt his head to just the right angle, to groan into the other boyโ€™s mouth, feeling it vibrate and reciprocate in Oliverโ€™s throat. The first time he ever made love, it had been to Oliver.

Oliver had been his first awakening.ย 

Now Oliver sits across from Percy in Florean Fortescueโ€™s Ice Cream Parlour for their weekly meet-up, where he makes fun of Percyโ€™s plain choice of vanilla and eats far too many scoops of his own chocolate and raspberry.ย 

โ€œRon is getting married,โ€ Percy says, eyeing the way some of the chopped nuts on the top of Oliverโ€™s cone get lapped up by his tongue. โ€œNext weekend.โ€

โ€œOh, yeah?โ€ Oliver comments. โ€œTo Hermione?โ€

Percy nods. โ€œI was invited. I almost didnโ€™t think I would be.โ€

โ€œRonโ€™s not really one to hold grudges from what I remember.โ€

โ€œNo, thatโ€™s more Ginnyโ€™s thing, I think.โ€

And even Ginny had been willing to pick up where they left off. After a few swift punches to his shoulder for good measure, of course. Percy rolls it now, remembering the way it ached for days after.

โ€œFantastic Quidditch player, that one,โ€ Oliver comments, because he canโ€™t not. They have rule, the two of them. No mentioning of Quidditch or whatever it is that Percy is reading that week for at least the first hour that they get together during their weekly meetings. Sometimes they slip, though. โ€œThe Harpies really knew what they were doing when they recruited her.โ€

โ€œYes,โ€ says Percy, eyes closed as he eats another spoon full of ice cream. โ€œI think weโ€™ve covered this before. Several times before, if I'm remembering correctly.โ€ย 

Percy cracks one eye open just in time to see Oliver grinning back at him. He wills himself not to blush scarlet.ย 

โ€œAlright, alright, Weasley,โ€ Oliver concedes. Percy gets a tingle of satisfaction down his spine that he is the only one Oliver will shut up about Quidditch for. โ€œSo, who are you taking to this wedding?โ€ย 

Percy blinks. โ€œWhyโ€ฆ no one,โ€ he admits. โ€œI didnโ€™t even consider taking a date. Why would I?โ€ย 

โ€œBecause itโ€™s a wedding? And weddings are generally something you attend with a date.โ€

โ€œYou donโ€™t have to attend with a date. No one is expecting me to bring one. Itโ€™s not like Iโ€™mโ€ฆโ€ Dating, Percy thinks, trailing off because itโ€™s easier to be left unsaid. He adjusts his glasses. โ€œBesides, Iโ€™m not even sure who I would go with. Or who would even want to go. You knowโ€ฆ with me.โ€

Oliver blinks at him owlishly. โ€œYouโ€™re kidding, right?โ€

โ€œWhat?โ€

โ€œNothing, nothing,โ€ Oliver says, shaking his head and smiling. โ€œIโ€™ll go with you. If you want me to.โ€

Itโ€™s Percyโ€™s turn to blink now, confused. โ€œYou would?โ€

โ€œOf course,โ€ Oliver tells him easily. Confidently. โ€œI wouldnโ€™t mind going. It sounds like fun.โ€

โ€œMy brotherโ€™s weddingโ€ฆ sounds like fun?โ€

Oliver laughs. โ€œWell, maybe not to you, who Iโ€™m sure will iron his socks before attending. But yeah. I think it could be fun.โ€

Percy bites his lower lip โ€” half in compilation, half to keep from admitting that he actually is planning on ironing his socks.ย 

โ€œYouโ€™d really go with me?โ€

Oliver tilts his head to the side. โ€œIs it that hard to believe?โ€

Is it hard to believe that someone would willinging attend an event with him and consider that event to be fun, all while keeping Percy as company? Yes, thatโ€™s extremely hard for Percy to believe.ย 

But if that person is Oliverโ€ฆ

โ€œWell, no. I guess not.โ€

โ€œPerfect,โ€ Oliver says, smiling. Percy wonders when his smile shifted from boyish to charming over the years. โ€œSo thatโ€™s that then. Owl your brother and let him know youโ€™ve got a plus one to his wedding.โ€

--

Ron responds to his letter quickly, telling Percy that of course heโ€™s allowed to bring a date. In, of course, much cruder terms. But still, the affection is there if not just laced between the lines of an insult.ย 

He owls Oliver shortly after, confirming the time of the wedding and โ€” strangely to Percy โ€” the details of his dress robes down to the color of the tie he is going to wear.ย 

He makes Oliver promise to be on some version of his best behavior, and Oliver tells him that he is somewhat civilized; he has attended several events and banquets before โ€” all for Quidditch, of course โ€” and knows how to act like a decent human being and not the dolt Percy seems to think he is.ย 

Percy trades a few more letters with Oliver after that about everything and nothing.ย 

One where Percy comments on the job offer Headmistress McGonagall has given him for the Transfiguration post โ€” Do you think I should take it? I just canโ€™t imagine myself in charge of children. Youโ€™ve been in charge of me before, Perce. Whatโ€™s a bunch of kids compared to that? I think you would manage just fine.ย 

One where Oliver complains about Quidditch practice isnโ€™t nearly grueling enough โ€” I woke up at five in the morning EVERY MORNING at Hogwarts. Weโ€™re going to get slaughtered at the next match because we arenโ€™t prepared enough. You start practice at six in the morning. I seriously doubt an hour's difference is enough to determine the loss of a match. Youโ€™re being ridiculous.ย 

One where Percy, at nearly two in the morning on a night where he canโ€™t seem to sleep and he canโ€™t seem to get the image of Fredโ€™s hopeful face at him resigning from the ministry and returning to the family right before he died out of his mind. I canโ€™t help but wonder what he would think of me now. I canโ€™t help but feel guilty over the years I lost with him being a prat. Open your floo. Iโ€™m coming over.

He folds each response neatly and places them on his nightstand. On the nights where it feels like he is suffocating, he opens them to read and feels like he can breathe again.

--

Saturday arrives quickly, and Percy finds himself fidgeting by the fireplace at half past noon.ย 

Heโ€™s waiting on Oliver, nervous and knowing the other man doesnโ€™t have the same practice of punctuality for other things that he does for Quidditch. Heโ€™s in the middle of readjusting his glasses for the tenth time when his fireplace ignites and out stumbles Oliver.ย 

And, oh.ย 

Heโ€™s positively dashing.ย 

His dress robes are tailored to compliment Percyโ€™s own, and his hair looks freshly cut and styled. In his hands he holds a bouquet of flowers that Percy blinks dumbly at for a moment.ย 

โ€œThese are for you,โ€ Oliver says, handing them to a bewildered Percy and smiling easily. Percy takes them with trembling hands and wide eyes.ย 

โ€œYou got me flowers?โ€ย 

โ€œOf course,โ€ Oliver says as if this is a normal thing to do for oneโ€™s friend. Should Percy have gotten him something? He thinks he has a stash of Chocolate Frogs hidden away somewhere. โ€œTheyโ€™re daisies. I know theyโ€™re your favorite.โ€

Percy doesnโ€™t know how Oliver could possibly know that. He doesnโ€™t remember ever mentioning it.

โ€œThank you,โ€ Percy says, remembering his manners at the last second. The smile that he gives Oliver is genuine and shy. โ€œIโ€™llโ€ฆ just put these in a vase. Then we can go?โ€

Percy decides there is nothing more nerve wracking than someone watching as he attempts to fill a vase with water, and place the flowers in them without having them fall apart from his clumsy hands. He quickly changes his mind when he has to step towards the fireplace and remember to say The Burrow without butchering it.ย 

He manages, though.ย 

Heโ€™s wiping soot from his robes when Oliver arrives a second after him, adjusting his tie and running a hand through his hair.ย 

โ€œI think Iโ€™ll always prefer to travel by broom.โ€

Percy rolls his eyes. โ€œIf you had asked to escort me here on the back of your broom, we wouldnโ€™t be having this conversation. Because Iโ€™d be dead.โ€

Oliver laughs. โ€œOh, I forgot. You prefer to keep two feet on the ground at all times.โ€

โ€œYou didnโ€™t forget. You just have the ability to selectively pick what you retain in that brain of yours.โ€

โ€œI still think I could get you to change your mind about your hatred for flying.โ€

โ€œYouโ€™ve been trying to get me on a broom for years now. Itโ€™s not going to happen.โ€

Oliver is saved from Percy telling him to wipe the smug look off his face by Percyโ€™s mother hurrying out from the kitchen. She looks at Percy with such a wave of affection that it nearly bowls him over.ย 

Heโ€™s still not used to it just yet.

โ€œOh, Percy!โ€ she exclaims, wrapping him in a hug. Itโ€™s still strange, after all these years, that he has to bend down when she hugs him. โ€œI was afraid you werenโ€™t going to make it!โ€

โ€œI told you I would,โ€ he mutters, patting her on the back awkwardly.ย 

โ€œI know, I know,โ€ his mum says, releasing him just enough to look up at him. โ€œStill, though.โ€

Thereโ€™s a lot that rests within those simple words. The fact that his mum is still scared sometimes that he wonโ€™t come home. The fact that she gained one son back only to lose another shortly after. Itโ€™s something that still sticks with her, Percy knows, the fact that a part of her could be so quickly taken away.

Sometimes Percy thinks the war took the wrong son. Sometimes he still thinks that the world would be better off with Fred still in it instead of him.ย 

He clears his throat. โ€œMum,โ€ he says, taking a step back and bumping into Oliverโ€™s chest. Itโ€™s strangely grounding and he can feel himself breathe again. โ€œYou remember Oliver, donโ€™t you?โ€

His mum beams. โ€œOf course! Our Harryโ€™s first Quidditch captain, and you boys used to be so close when you were in school. How could I ever forget Oliver Wood?โ€

Percy stops himself from snorting because itโ€™s unbecoming. Close doesnโ€™t even begin to cut it. Close is what Lee Jordan and George are to each other.ย 

Percy and Oliver...

Percy and Oliver being two fumbling boys kissing and then never mentioning it aloud, Percy and Oliver closing the curtains around their four poster beds to shut the world out as they explore each otherโ€ฆย 

Percy and Oliver are something different.ย 

Were something different. Maybe. Percy still isnโ€™t entirely sure, and he and Oliver donโ€™t talk about it. Percy doesnโ€™t like not knowing the answers to something, so he shoves it down. Tries not to think about it so it doesnโ€™t bother him.ย 

Itโ€™s harder to do that now when Oliver smiles so handsomely at his mother.ย 

โ€œItโ€™s nice to see you again, Mrs. Weasley,โ€ he says, easily stepping into her hug. Percy wishes he could do that. Easily melt into another person and allow himself into their space without feeling like a burden.ย 

Oliver does it so easily. Itโ€™s partially why they reconnected after the war. Because Oliver claimed his space in Percyโ€™s life and cemented himself there before Percy even had time to protest.

Itโ€™s what makes it so easy for Percy to grab Oliver by the elbow, pulling him away from his mother and back into his orbit. Itโ€™s what makes him breath easier, the fact that Oliver is here and familiar.ย 

His mum smiles at them, taking a step back because sheโ€™s so very short compared to them.ย 

โ€œWhy donโ€™t you boys go ahead and get seated?โ€ she suggests kindly. โ€œThe wedding is going to start soon. We saved you some seats in the front.โ€

--

The wedding goes exactly how Percy thought it would. That is to sayโ€ฆ itโ€™s a bit odd.ย 

Ron and Hermioneโ€™s decor is a mixture of Muggle and magical, and nothing is too overdone when it comes down to it. Ron has chosen to have only Harry stand next to him, stating that heโ€™s been overshadowed most of his life by his brothers, this time he wants to stand alone.ย 

Percyโ€™s mum is the only one who shed tears over it, but Percy has a feeling that the rest of his brotherโ€™s feel along the same lines as him. He doesnโ€™t give two shits over participating in a wedding.ย 

But none of that โ€” the decor nor the dwindling wedding party โ€” is odd to Percy.

The odd part is the fact that Harry and Ron are standing side by side, rather than Harry behind Ron, and Harryโ€™s arm slung over Ronโ€™s shoulder as they both gaze lovingly at Hermione after she makes her way down the aisle towards them.

โ€œAre theyโ€ฆ all getting married?โ€ Oliver whispers, leaning in towards Percy. He smells like pine and Quidditch leather. Percy draws a breath and the scent stays lodged in his throat. โ€œTo each other?โ€ย 

โ€œIt wouldnโ€™t surprise me at this point, but Iโ€™m not here to judge.โ€ Oliver gives him a look and Percyโ€™s lips twitch. โ€œAnymore.โ€ย 

In the end, Ron and Hermione are the only ones who end up trading vows after all while Harry looks on with hearts in his eyes. When theyโ€™re announced as Mr. and Mrs. Weasley โ€” and then corrected by Hermione, claiming sheโ€™s keeping her last name โ€” Percy stands to applaud with the rest of his family and the people in attendance and feels the beginnings of something wet prickling at his eyes.ย 

He hasnโ€™t cried since Fredโ€™s funeral. Itโ€™s an odd sensation to be crying at the beginning of something rather than the end.ย 

โ€œYou okay?โ€ Oliver mutters to him, bumping his shoulder against Percyโ€™s. He lets it rest there and Percy doesnโ€™t move away.ย 

โ€œPerfect.โ€

--

The reception is lovely, and Percy is on his second Firewhiskey when he feels a hand clasp his shoulder and turns to find his dad standing there.ย 

โ€œSon,โ€ he greets in that way that is especially for Percy. The way that reminds him that no matter how much heโ€™s strayed and no matter how much time has passed, he is still Arther Weasleyโ€™s son.ย 

โ€œDad,โ€ he greets back for the same reason. His dadโ€™s smile is oceans deep. Percy can close his eyes and drown in it. He does for a moment.ย 

โ€œYour mother mentioned you were bringing someone to the wedding,โ€ his dad says, nodding to where Oliver is currently chatting with Harry and George. Heโ€™s gesturing his Firewhiskey wildly so Percy knows heโ€™s in the middle of telling a rousing story. He counts down from five in his head and right on cue Harry and George laugh.ย 

Ah, he knew it.ย 

The rogue Bludger story.ย 

Percy has heard this one endlessly. He probably can tell the punchline better than Oliver at this point.

โ€œApparently you donโ€™t go to weddings alone,โ€ Percy says, taking another sip of his own Firewhiskey. โ€œOr, at least, that is what I was informed.โ€

โ€œHmm,โ€ his dad hums. He is amused. Percy wonders why.ย 

โ€œWhat?โ€

โ€œOh, nothing. Itโ€™s just โ€” youโ€™ve never brought a boy home before.โ€

Percy chokes on his own spit which is even more embarrassing considering the fact that heโ€™s holding a drink.ย 

โ€œNo! Itโ€™s notโ€ฆ itโ€™s not like that.Oliver just agreed to come with me so I wouldnโ€™t be alone. You know, as a friend.โ€

His dad blinks. โ€œOh,โ€ he says, not sounding convinced. โ€œButโ€ฆ you areโ€ฆโ€

โ€œGay, dad. You can say it. Itโ€™s alright,โ€ Percy says, rolling his eyes. โ€œAnd yes, I am.โ€ Oliver turns to look back at Percy, winking when he spots him. โ€œExquisitely so.โ€

โ€œAh, alright then. And Oliver isโ€ฆโ€

โ€œOliver is Oliver. Heโ€™s always been Oliver.โ€

And isnโ€™t that enough?

Sexuality has never been something that theyโ€™ve discussed with one another, even during those moments at Hogwarts where Percy was allowed to palm Oliverโ€™s unclothed skin, feeling the way his newly developed Quidditch build would quiver underneath his touch and, in turn, Oliver would press his lips to nearly every freckle that scattered Percyโ€™s skin.ย 

Percy is gay.

But Oliver is Oliver.ย 

Thereโ€™s no defining label to him, and Percy knows that.

Oliver has never been anything but himself to Percy. Heโ€™s a comfort. Familiar. There are times where Percy feels like he knows Oliver nearly as well as he knows the back of his hand.ย 

To put any more than that on them, to ask Oliver to look at Percy and see something worth more than Quidditch itselfโ€ฆ Well, that wouldnโ€™t be fair. To either of them.ย 

Percy knows where he stands with Oliver. The ground is cracked with his own selfish desires but steady enough to support them both. Heโ€™s not going to reach out and grasp for something that he doesnโ€™t deserve and ruin it all.ย 

โ€œOliver is special,โ€ his dad says.ย 

Percy nods. โ€œHe is.โ€

--

The night begins to wind down and Percy stands in the corner, pleasantly buzzed and swaying to the slow tune of whatever song it is currently playing.ย 

โ€œDance with me,โ€ Oliver says, voice suddenly right there by Percyโ€™s ear. Percy blinks at him, attempting to focus.ย 

โ€œHmm?โ€

โ€œCome on,โ€ Oliver says, taking Percyโ€™s drink and grinning at the protesting noise Percy makes as he sets it on the table. Oliver holds out his hand. โ€œDance with me?โ€

โ€œAlright, fineโ€ Percy agrees, taking Oliverโ€™s hand with such force that they slap together. โ€œBut I'm warning you now, those ballroom lessons did nothing for me as a child. Iโ€™ve got two left feet.โ€

Oliverโ€™s eyes shine as he leads them to the dance floor. โ€œYou took ballroom lessons?โ€

โ€œYes, my aunt was very insistent. She paid for them,โ€ Percy explains. He isnโ€™t quite sure what to do with his hands, allowing one of them to grip Oliverโ€™s own. He decides to place the other on Oliverโ€™s shoulder. โ€œI never could quite get the hang of them, though.โ€

โ€œI didnโ€™t know that. Are you keeping secrets from me, Weasley?โ€

Percy laughs so hard it turns into a snort. His filter is completely gone after about the fourth Firewhiskey.ย 

โ€œYes, my deepest, darkest secret. I took ballroom and etiquette lessons as a child.โ€

Oliverโ€™s lips twitch and Percy focus on them with great interest. โ€œThatโ€ฆ explains a lot, actually.โ€

โ€œYes, Iโ€™m afraid Iโ€™m fairly predictable when it comes down to it.โ€

โ€œI wouldnโ€™t say that, exactly. Youโ€™re full of surprises.โ€

โ€œSo are you,โ€ Percy says softly.

As if to prove his point, Oliver dips Percy, leaning him so far back that his glasses nearly slide off his face. Percy shrieks with laughter, gripping onto Oliver tighter.ย 

โ€œLet me up, you wanker!โ€ Percy cries. People are watching them, upside down from Percyโ€™s perspective, but Percy finds he doesnโ€™t care for once. Between the several Firewhiskeys heโ€™s had and Oliverโ€™s laughter in his ears, heโ€™s happy.ย 

And he hasnโ€™t been this carelessly happy sinceโ€ฆย 

Well, since as far back as he can remember, if heโ€™s being honest with himself. Which he hardly ever is, he thinks, as Oliver rights him and pulls him closer.

โ€œThis is nice,โ€ Oliver says once theyโ€™re settled, cheek to cheek.ย 

โ€œDancing?โ€ย 

โ€œHmm,โ€ Oliver hums. โ€œWith you.โ€ย 

โ€œI like it too,โ€ Percy says, his fear gone along with his filter. โ€œIโ€™m glad you convinced me to take you.โ€ย 

Oliver laughs. โ€œWasnโ€™t that hard, really. Normally you have a well rehearsed argument planned for when you donโ€™t want something. So I figured deep down you really didnโ€™t want to go alone.โ€ย 

Percy stares at a point beyond Oliverโ€™s shoulder, his vision going blurry. โ€œNo one wants to be alone.โ€

They stop suddenly, Oliver nuzzling his nose into Percyโ€™s hair before leaning back to look at him fully. His eyes are nearly dark, pupils blown wide the way they used to be when they were boys and the rest of the world was asleep and Percy had only seen Oliver look at a Quidditch pitch in such a way.

โ€œLet me take you to bed,โ€ he says.ย 

And Percy, who hasnโ€™t heard those words from him in years and who remembers what itโ€™s like to be pinned underneath those eyes to a mattress, canโ€™t find the willpower to say no.

โ€œOkay.โ€

โ€”

Percy hardly has enough time to stumble out of the fireplace before his back slams against the nearest wall, and Oliverโ€™s lips are on his for the first time since they were sixteen. Warm, aggressive, positively bruising โ€” theyโ€™re everything Percy remembers them being.

His body responds to the other manโ€™s automatically, as if the simple act of kissing is enough to awaken years worth of muscle memory when it comes to Oliver. Except this time when Percy parts his lips, thereโ€™s no hesitancy, no quivering like there would have been when he was younger. This time, Percy takes Oliverโ€™s bottom lip โ€”still chapped from Quidditch winds after all these years โ€”between his teeth and sucks.ย 

This time, when he grabs onto Oliverโ€™s biceps โ€” eliciting a groan, so much deeper than it had been when they were boys โ€” his grip is steady. More sure of himself.ย 

He is flesh and blood and man, same as Oliver. And he wants. Oh, how he wants.ย 

He cannot take when it comes to Oliver. He wonโ€™t allow himself to do so. Oliver is bright and Percy has never done anything but dim the lights of those around him. He refuses to do that to Oliver. But this is Oliver handing something over, giving himself to Percy if only for a moment. And it makes it so much easier for Percy to hold onto when he knows it's just for a brief moment. When itโ€™s placed into his hands, and he knows that eventually heโ€™ll have to let go again.

โ€œBed,โ€ Percy reminds Oliver, lips barely leaving the other manโ€™s. Heโ€™s fumbling with his tie โ€” this blasted sky blue piece of shit that he canโ€™t even remember the reason for wearing in the first place. All it does now is serve as a barrier. โ€œYou promisedโ€ฆ you would take me to bed. This is a wall.โ€

Oliver laughs, husky and slightly muffled. โ€œDonโ€™t you ever stop complaining?โ€

โ€œI might.โ€ Percy finally manages his tie, tossing it down on the ground. โ€œIf you ever gave me something else to do.โ€

Oliver seems to take this as a challenge, backing Percy into the bedroom, and undoing the buttons of his shirt and letting it fall. Itโ€™s so very attractive, this coordination. It comes likely from Quidditch, and Percy is struck again by how thankful he is for a sport he does not even like.ย 

He tumbles across that thought, back hitting his mattress and the reality of the situation he finds himself in suddenly hits him.ย 

Oliver is crawling on top of him, and this time thereโ€™s no curtain around his bed to draw in order to shut the world out. This time instead of fumbling through the darkness, the moon shines bright through Percyโ€™s bedroom window, highlighting all the bits of Oliver that Percy has missed over the years.ย 

Heโ€™s built like a god, Oliver. Sculpted and molded into near perfection, the only flaws gracing his skin are scars from Quidditch, reminding Percy of his humanity. He touches one then, a scar across his ribcage from a nasty fight after a particularly brutal match. Oliver shivers underneath his touch still after all these years.ย 

โ€œYouโ€™re beautiful,โ€ Percy says, unashamed. โ€œAbsolutely beautiful.โ€

Oliver blinks, almost surprised, before his eyes go soft and his smile softer. โ€œI think youโ€™re talking about yourself there, love.โ€

Percy could argue โ€” should argue, itโ€™s in his nature โ€” but instead he braces himself on his elbows, pushing himself up until heโ€™s kissing Oliver again.ย 

โ€œIโ€™ve missed this,โ€ Oliver says, grabbing Percy around the waist and dragging him upwards on the bed until his head meets the pillow. โ€œIโ€™ve missed you.โ€ย 

And theyโ€™re just words, stumbling out, strung together, made to fit this one particular moment, but Percy leans into them โ€” whining, whimpering, giving himself to Oliver because he doesnโ€™t know how not to.

Percy is vaguely aware of his shirt being lifted over his head, and his trousers pulled down. Feels rather than sees Oliver lift his glasses from his face and set them on the nightstand, his eyes so tightly shut as Oliver kisses down his neck.ย 

Heโ€™s had Oliver countless times before this one. He knows where to press to make him keen, knows the exact tilt of his hips to feel himself brush against Oliver. Itโ€™s like a homecoming when he finally feels Oliverโ€™s Quidditch calloused fingers wrap around his length, running up and down it a few times.ย 

โ€œGod,โ€ Percy groans, hips bucking. โ€œGod, yes. Keep doing that.โ€

Heโ€™s faintly aware that Oliver still knows what heโ€™s doing after all these years. That he still knows how Percy likes it when he twists on the downstroke, the way he flexes his grip a little harder each time.ย 

โ€œFuck, baby,โ€ Oliver growls, and god, heโ€™s missed that too โ€” those endearing little nicknames that Oliver calls him during their most private times. The ones no one else would ever consider calling him. He still melts into a puddle for them, sinking into the mattress.ย 

โ€œPlease, god, please โ€”โ€œย 

Percy doesnโ€™t know what heโ€™s begging for, exactly. His thoughts arenโ€™t particularly coherent at the moment, more of a muddled mess. But he knows he absolutely doesnโ€™t want Oliver to stop, so when he feels Oliverโ€™s hand leave his cock, he lets out a protesting whimper.ย 

โ€œWanna suck you off,โ€ Oliver says, moving down to settle between Percyโ€™s legs. And how can Percy possibly argue with that?

Oliverโ€™s nose traces the length of Percyโ€™s cock, nuzzling and teasing until he gets to the tip. Before โ€” when they were boys โ€” this would be where Oliver would experimentally lick and suck, attempting to see how far down he could go before he would eventually gag. Now, he drags his tongue over the slit before enveloping him whole, and Percyโ€™s eyes roll towards the back of his head with the sudden heat.ย 

Oliver has gotten control of his gag reflex, apparently, for he sinks down lower with careful precision each time and Percy is certain heโ€™s hitting the back of Oliverโ€™s throat with the way his hips are moving out of control.ย 

โ€œYes, yes! Fucking โ€” donโ€™t stop! Justโ€ฆ just like that.โ€

Oliver groans against Percyโ€™s cock, the feeling of it vibrating around him. That paired with the sight of his cock sliding in and out of Oliverโ€™s mouth is nearly enough to make him finish.ย 

โ€œWait,โ€ gasps Percy, reaching out for Oliver. His fingers tangle in his hair, grasping and pulling until Oliver finally manages to look up at him, mouth wet and eyes dark.ย 

โ€œWhat? What is it?โ€ย 

โ€œI want โ€”โ€œย 

Percy chokes on the words, attempting to swallow them back down. He still doesnโ€™t feel like he has the right to express his own selfish wants and desires.ย 

โ€œWhat do you want, sweetheart?โ€ Oliverโ€™s lips kiss the furrowing of his brow, smoothing it back out easily. โ€œJust tell me.โ€

โ€œI want more,โ€ Percy admits so softly heโ€™s surprised that Olvier can even hear him. โ€œI want to feel you. I want you to fuck me.โ€

Itโ€™s the most vulnerable Percy has ever felt, lying underneath Oliver like this, asking for something he isnโ€™t entirely sure he even deserves but wants so desperately, nonetheless. But Oliverโ€ฆ Sweet, heartbreakingly handsome Oliver who has never seen Percy the way the rest of the world does, who never judges him with the same sort of harshness that he does himselfโ€ฆ Oliver smiles.ย 

And Percy knows that even if he isnโ€™t deserving, Oliver is willing to give.ย 

And Percy โ€” tainted, soiled Percy โ€” is willing to take just this one thing, content to have this one moment for the rest of his life. He raises a trembling hand to Oliverโ€™s cheek.

โ€œYour wish is my command,โ€ Oliver says, kissing the inside of Percyโ€™s wrist.ย 

--

Percy wakes up the next morning pleasantly sore and wrapped in Oliverโ€™s arms.ย 

Itโ€™s an odd feeling, and one he doesnโ€™t remember ever experiencing before. At Hogwarts, they would both retreat to their own beds for the night so that the boys they shared a dorm with wouldnโ€™t suspect anything. Heโ€™s never experienced waking up in someoneโ€™s embrace before, and the fact that this will probably be the only time does make it bittersweet.ย 

โ€œHey,โ€ Percy rasps, his voice thick with sleep. He shifts against Oliver. โ€œWake up.โ€

โ€œDonโ€™t wanna,โ€ Oliver groans, tightening his hold on Percy and burying his face in Percyโ€™s back. โ€œToo early.โ€

Percy laughs. โ€œOliver Wood? Not wanting to get up at the crack of dawn? Whatโ€™s the world coming to?โ€

โ€œOliver just got laid. Heโ€™s quite pacified at the moment.โ€

โ€œHmm.โ€ Percy rolls over so that theyโ€™re forehead to forehead, Oliverโ€™s eyes shining. โ€œMaybe he should get laid more often. Less Quidditch pitches being burned down if heโ€™s not running himself ragged on them.โ€

โ€œThereโ€™s an idea Iโ€™m willing to entertain,โ€ Oliver says, grinning. Itโ€™s sleepy and lopsided and Percy wonders if the one night stand rules bleed into morning. He takes his chances and leans in to kiss the corner of his smile.ย 

โ€œAs content as I am to stay here, Iโ€™ve got an interview this morning.โ€ย 

Oliverโ€™s eyebrows shoot up. โ€œOn a Sunday?โ€

โ€œIt was the only day McGonagall had free this week. Plus, itโ€™s not like I have anything preoccupying my time. Or, at least โ€”โ€œ Percy smiles at Oliver, blushing. โ€œ โ€” I didnโ€™t think I was going to when we set up the interview.โ€ย 

โ€œSo youโ€™re doing it, then?โ€ Oliver asks, smiling and reaching out to stroke Percyโ€™s cheek with his thumb. โ€œYouโ€™re going for the Transfiguration position?โ€ย 

โ€œIโ€™m going to try,โ€ Percy says softly. โ€œThatโ€™s all a person really can do, isnโ€™t it? Try.โ€

โ€œI think this will be perfect for you. I can see you being a teacher.โ€ย 

Percy worries his bottom lip, and Oliverโ€™s thumb leaves his cheek bone to trace the motion. Percy looks at the other man with wide, unsure eyes. Heโ€™s got to get out of bed, but as soon as he does, their bubble is going to be popped.ย 

They wonโ€™t get this back again.ย 

But Percy has already taken so much when he told himself he wouldnโ€™t.ย 

โ€œWish me luck?โ€ Percy leans over for one last kiss, letting it linger. When he pulls away, Oliver closes back in for another peck.

โ€œGood luck,โ€ he tells him. โ€œYouโ€™ll do amazing. Iโ€™m sure of it.โ€ย 

Percy untangles himself from the sheets, stretching and finding his glasses on the stand. He doesnโ€™t quite know how to feel. Leaving Oliver โ€” getting over Oliver โ€” is one of the hardest things heโ€™s ever had to do. It always starts this way, leaving the bed and leaving behind who they are in the bed. Who theyโ€™re allowed to be.ย 

This nearly killed him as a boy.ย 

Itโ€™s worse now as a broken man.ย 

โ€œWill I see you at all this week?โ€ Oliver asks suddenly.ย 

Percy blinks, confused. โ€œWell, of course,โ€ he says, buttoning up his shirt. โ€œFor our weekly ice cream date.โ€ย 

Oliver grins. โ€œOkay, perfect.โ€

โ€”

Percy arrives at his Wednesday ice cream date with Oliver as Hogwarts' latest hirer.ย 

โ€œI knew you could do it!โ€ Oliver beams, looking happier than Percyโ€™s own mum at the news.ย 

Heโ€™s eating his normal scoop of plain vanilla that Oliver has purchased for him as a congratulations, and trying not to pay any mind to how Oliverโ€™s foot seems to be inching closer towards his underneath the table. Oliver has never been one for personal space.

โ€œIโ€™m honestly surprised Headmistress McGonagall went with me,โ€ Percy says, blushing.

โ€œIโ€™m not. You were top of our class, Perce. Head Boy. Youโ€™re practically over qualified when it comes down to it.โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t know about that.โ€ Percy moves his foot to the side. Oliverโ€™s foot follows. โ€œIโ€™ll have to work on getting my mastery in Transfiguration, but I can study under McGonagall to do that.โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s amazing. Are you going to be living at Hogwarts then?โ€

Percy nods. โ€œProbably. Iโ€™m given a living quarters. Itโ€™ll probably be easier just living there instead of commuting back and forth.โ€

โ€œThatโ€™ll be nice. I can visit you at Hogwarts then.โ€

Oliverโ€™s tongue laps at where some of his ice cream is melting down the cone. Percy tracks it and falls back into a memory of Oliverโ€™s tongue on his pulse point. On his collarbone. On his cock.

โ€œYes,โ€ Percy says, completely zoned out. He shakes his head. โ€œYou know, with that busy Quidditch schedule of yours.โ€

Oliver looks up, frowning. โ€œYou know Iโ€™m going to make time for you, right? Iโ€™m not planning on going months without seeing you.โ€

Percy isnโ€™t sure what to say to this. He isnโ€™t expecting Oliver to make time for him. Why would he? It isnโ€™t like theyโ€™re dating. Still, Oliver is looking at him imploringly and Percy can never hold steady underneath that gaze of his.ย 

โ€œOh. I mean โ€” I guess didnโ€™t know for sure. I would like to keep seeing you as frequently as we are right now. I guess I just didnโ€™t expect anything since Qudditch is going to be starting up for you again soon.โ€

โ€œWe probably arenโ€™t going to be able to meet as often as we are right now,โ€ Oliver says. โ€œBut Iโ€™m planning on coming home during my off weekends. And then I thought that you could come to some of my games. You know, if you wanted to.โ€

Oliver looks so suddenly shy that Percy breaks his own rule and reaches across the table to grasp his hand.ย 

โ€œIโ€™d love to come to some of your games,โ€ he says, meaning it. He doesnโ€™t understand Quidditch like the rest of his siblings, but he understands Oliver. He knows how important this is to him. โ€œJust let me know which ones, and Iโ€™ll be there.โ€

Oliver grins. โ€œYeah?โ€

โ€œOf course.โ€

Oliver laces his fingers through Percyโ€™s, and when Percy leaves his weekly ice cream date he somehow ends up having dinner plans with Oliver that Friday.ย 

--

โ€œHoly โ€” holy shit.โ€

Oliver shushes him, pinning him against the bathroom wall and licking at the slit of Percyโ€™s cock again.ย 

โ€œTheyโ€™re going to hear us if youโ€™re not quiet,โ€ Oliver teases, looking up at him with mischief in his eyes. He loves this version of Oliver. The one that would burn down the world for Percy.ย 

โ€œDonโ€™t know how you expect me to be quiet when you keep doing that,โ€ Percy says, twisting his fingers into Oliverโ€™s hair and gripping tightly. โ€œDonโ€™t know why you couldnโ€™t have waited until we got back to my flat. Or why you donโ€™t believe in silencing charms โ€” fuck!โ€

Oliver takes him into his mouth again, bobbing up and down so slowly that Percy thinks he might die.ย 

He doesnโ€™t know how they ended up here. Isnโ€™t sure has the ability to even process logical thought at the moment. All he knows is that one moment he is sitting across from Oliver in his nicest jumper that took too much thought process into deciding on, and the next he is being dragged into the bathroom of a restaurant heโ€™s never been to before, and Oliver is claiming that he canโ€™t stand it any longer.ย 

Theyโ€™re back to this again, Percy thinks. This exploring stage that he thought they left behind with their boyhood.ย 

He doesnโ€™t care to figure out why just yet when his eyes are rolling into the back of his head.

โ€œGod, please,โ€ Percy begs. Begs. Oliver has reduced him to this. โ€œPlease, I need you โ€”โ€œ Oliver hums around his length and the sensation of it causes Percyโ€™s hips to jerk involuntarily, hitting the back of Oliverโ€™s throat roughly. โ€œOh, shit. Iโ€™m sorry. I didnโ€™t โ€”โ€œย 

Oliver cuts him off by untangling himself from Percyโ€™s cock. His eyes are dark again, pupils blown wide. Percy can see himself in them.ย 

โ€œI want you to fuck my mouth,โ€ Oliver says.ย 

โ€œWhat?โ€

โ€œMy mouth,โ€ Oliver says, stroking Percy a few times so his mind clouds over and canโ€™t form a rebuttal to why this could possibly be a bad idea. โ€œI want you to fuck it.โ€ย 

โ€œBut โ€” what if โ€”โ€œย 

โ€œYou wonโ€™t hurt me,โ€ Oliver assures. โ€œIโ€™ve been fantasizing about this forever. But we donโ€™t have to if you donโ€™t want to do it.โ€ย 

Fuck, Percy wants it. Oliver has no idea how badly he wants it. Is it taking even more if Oliver is offering?ย 

โ€œIf youโ€™re โ€” if youโ€™re certain.โ€ย 

Oliver grins. โ€œI am. A hundred percent.โ€ย 

Percy wonders what itโ€™s like to have that certainty. To never doubt something. He only wonders for a second before Oliverโ€™s mouth is on him again, and heโ€™s thrusting, hitting the back of Oliverโ€™s throat.ย 

He makes himself keep his eyes open with great difficulty, watching the way his cock slides in and out of Oliverโ€™s mouth.ย 

โ€œLook โ€” look at me,โ€ Percy pants, stroking Oliverโ€™s hair.ย 

In the end, itโ€™s the image of Oliver looking back at him while heโ€™s stroking his own erection to the rhythm of Percyโ€™s thrusts that causes him to cum down Oliverโ€™s throat.ย 

โ€”

Oliver sucks Percy off again on Saturday when Percy somehow manages to stay the night at the other manโ€™s flat, and wakes up to the same sensation on Sunday morning.

Percy returns the favor Monday after an impromptu lunch date.ย 

Tuesday Oliver spits into the palm of his hand and strokes their cocks in time while Percy watches with parted lips before he comes first, spilling all over their joint cocks and Oliverโ€™s still moving hand.ย 

Wednesday Percy brings Oliver over for family dinner at the Burrow. He drags them up to his childhood bedroom, giggling and shushing Oliver with his lips pressed against the other manโ€™s throat while undoes the button to his trousers and sinks to his knees.ย 

Thursday Oliver fucks him into the mattress until his eyes roll back in his head and Merlinโ€™s name has been chanted so often that Percy is certain the room is spelled by now.ย 

By Friday, Percy loses count of their activities. He tells himself that itโ€™s better this way. What they have is fleeting. A simple passing of time while Oliver gets Percy out of his system again.

--

Puddlemere United holds a beginning of the season banquet every year for their sponsors and players, according to Oliver. Also according to Oliver, he is allowed to bring a date. Which is how Percy finds himself in his finest dress robes on a Saturday evening.ย 

โ€œI feel silly,โ€ Percy says, tugging at them and attempting to adjust his tie. โ€œI look silly.โ€

โ€œNo you donโ€™t,โ€ Oliver says, offering Percy his arm. After all that theyโ€™ve done the past few weeks, he shouldnโ€™t be blushing when he links his arm through Oliverโ€™s but he does. โ€œYou look gorgeous.โ€

Percy snorts. โ€œGorgeous is not something I would ever consider myself.โ€

โ€œWell, thatโ€™s alright,โ€ Oliver says, smiling at one of the sponsors who clasps him on his shoulder as he walks by. โ€œI think youโ€™re plenty gorgeous enough for the both of us.โ€

Percy flushes. This is another territory that he isnโ€™t used to. For all the fooling and fumbling around they did at Hogwarts, Oliver was never so openly affectionate as he is now outside of bed. Percy wonders what the meaning of it could possibly be. He stays up some nights wondering and agonizing over it.ย 

He understands the basic primal urges that come with all the shagging theyโ€™ve been doing lately, but he doesnโ€™t understand this.ย 

โ€œYouโ€™re ridiculous,โ€ Percy mutters. Partly because itโ€™s true and partly because he isnโ€™t sure what else to really say. Oliver seems to find this insult nearly as endearing as the nicknames heโ€™s been so prone to calling Percy, grinning and giving Percy a quick wink.ย 

โ€œYou have no idea.โ€

โ€œStop,โ€ Percy says, bopping Oliver on the nose and watching as his eyes cross to look at his freckled finger. โ€œPut that away.โ€

โ€œPut what away?โ€

โ€œThisโ€ฆ Charming Oliver,โ€ Percy says, gesturing at him madly. โ€œI canโ€™t handle him right now. Thereโ€™s too many people around.โ€

Oliver glances around the room. โ€œToo many people?โ€

โ€œYes. Far too many. Charming Oliver tends to drag me off to dirty places to do unspeakable things. Things I would never let anyone else do.โ€

โ€œOh? So youโ€™re saying if Charming Oliver keeps his appearance upโ€”โ€

โ€œIโ€™ll wind up on my knees in a broom closet somewhere, or you will and then youโ€™ll have that insufferable look on your face all day.โ€ Oliver smirks at him. โ€œYes, that one. Exactly. Your ego is higher than that broom you ride after youโ€™ve gotten done with me.โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t know what youโ€™re talking about,โ€ Oliver says, eyes bright.ย 

Percy rolls his eyes, letting Oliver lead him on a lap around the room. He doesnโ€™t recognize most of the people in attendance, but Oliver seems to know everyone. Percy smiles and shakes hands with so many people in such a short amount of time, that heโ€™s thankful when Oliver suggests he gets him a drink.ย 

Heโ€™s desperate for something else to do with his hands other than clasping other peopleโ€™s, and his nerves are so shot from social anxiety that he thinks a drink will help.ย 

โ€œJust one Firewhiskey,โ€ Percy says. โ€œWe donโ€™t want a repeat of my brotherโ€™s wedding.โ€ย 

โ€œYes, what a shame that would be to have you half pissed and on your back again. Whatever would I do with you?โ€ Oliver teases, laughing and heading for the drinks before Percy can scold him.ย 

Percy watches him go, wondering how in the world heโ€™s ended up here of all places. Not the Quidditch banquet, exactly. But back in that space he found himself in when he was at Hogwarts where he is hopelessly enthralled with Oliver Wood.ย 

This isnโ€™t going to end well, he knows. Heโ€™ll be utterly, wretchedly miserable when Oliver moves on.ย 

He wonders how much time he has left before that happens.

โ€œHello,โ€ a voice says from behind him. Percy turns, finding a tall blonde witch standing there. He recognizes her as one of Puddlemereโ€™s players, though he isnโ€™t certain of her position.ย 

โ€œOh,โ€ he says, blinking and remembering his manners. โ€œSorry about that. Must have zoned out for a moment.โ€ย 

The witch smiles, her eyes flickering over towards where Oliver is standing at the drink table knowingly.ย 

โ€œThatโ€™s alright. Canโ€™t say that I blame you.โ€ Her eyes crinkle like theyโ€™re in on some sort of secret. Percy doesnโ€™t know what it could possibly be. โ€œIโ€™m Gwen, by the way. Gwen Parker.โ€ย 

Percy takes her extended hand. โ€œPercy Weasley,โ€ he introduces himself.ย 

โ€œOh, I know who you are,โ€ Gwen says, positively beaming. โ€œOliver talks about you all the time. Or, you know, when heโ€™s not obsessively going over our plays and telling us what we are doing wrong.โ€

Percy blushes. โ€œHe does?โ€ย 

โ€œOh, of course. Heโ€™s completely smitten with you. Iโ€™m so glad he brought you tonight. Iโ€™ve been dying to meet the man who distracts Oliver Wood from Quidditch.โ€ย 

Percy isnโ€™t sure if this is a good implication or not. Quidditch is everything to Oliver. Heโ€™s made it his career. But he also doesnโ€™t put enough stock in himself to take her claims seriously. He doesnโ€™t think Oliver would let anything take away from his love for Quidditch.ย 

โ€œI donโ€™t know about that,โ€ Percy says, adjusting his glasses. โ€œItโ€™s hard to get him to talk about much else. Even with me.โ€

Gwen laughs as if theyโ€™re old friends. โ€œWhat can I say? Oliver is Oliver,โ€ she says and Percy is struck by the same words he told his dad just weeks ago. โ€œBut surely you must know, he adores you. I can see it in the way he looks at you.โ€

Youโ€™re wrong, Percy thinks. He adores the freedom I give him to explore himself with me. Nothing more.ย 

An arm wraps itself around his waist, and suddenly Oliver is back, offering Percy a drink and a smile.ย 

โ€œHere you go. I could see you adjusting your glasses a mile away,โ€ Oliver whispers in his ear, letting Percy know heโ€™s picked up on his nervous tick. He turns to Gwen. โ€œGwen, your beating arm doing any better? It was looking kinda rubbish at last week's practice.โ€

Gwen rolls her eyes. โ€œItโ€™s fine. Well enough to send a Bludger your way, in any case.โ€

โ€œSo what were you two talking about before?โ€ Oliver asks. โ€œNothing too damning on my end, I hope?โ€

โ€œOh, no. Not at all,โ€ Gwen says, waving him off. โ€œI was just gushing to your boyfriend here about how smitten you are with him.โ€ย 

Percy nearly chokes on his Firewhiskey. โ€œOh, no,โ€ he says quickly, face on fire. โ€œItโ€™s not like that. Oliver and I arenโ€™t dating.โ€ย 

Gwenโ€™s face visibly falls and she looks so mortified that Percy feels even more embarrassed. โ€œOh โ€” itโ€™s just โ€” I thought โ€”โ€œย 

โ€œWhat do you mean weโ€™re not dating?โ€ Oliverโ€™s voice cuts her off. He sounds like heโ€™s been hit in the gut by a Bludger.

Percy turns towards Oliver to find him staring back, wide eyed and hurt. Percy has seen that look after Quidditch defeats but never towards him. Itโ€™s magnified somehow directed at him, making him feel like crumbling and dissolving straight into the ground.ย 

โ€œJust โ€” just what I said,โ€ Percy tries again. โ€œWeโ€™re not togetherโ€ฆ Are we?โ€ย 

He feels slightly stupid for asking it like a question. Percy doesnโ€™t enjoy feeling stupid, and itโ€™s a feeling heโ€™s become increasingly familiar with over the years.ย 

Oliver blinks at him before turning back towards Gwen. โ€œIโ€™m sorry,โ€ he says, taking Percy by the elbow. โ€œIf youโ€™ll excuse us for a moment.โ€

Percy doesnโ€™t get a chance to see Gwenโ€™s response. Oliver is dragging him through a crowd of people who all appear to be looking at them, and straight onto a balcony. Itโ€™s cold, the night air settling over them and causing Percy to shiver, but Percy is more concerned with the way Oliver is pinching the bridge of his nose and not looking directly at him.ย 

โ€œOliverโ€ฆโ€

โ€œJustโ€ฆโ€ Oliver cuts him off, sighing. He runs a hand through his hair and then finally turns to look at Percy. โ€œIf we werenโ€™t dating, what is it, exactly, that you thought we were doing this whole time?โ€

Percy flounders at the question, staring back a bit dumbly. โ€œWhat do you mean what did I think we were doing? The โ€” the same thing we did at Hogwarts when we were kids! Fooling around! We snog, we shag, but we never have any strings attached. I thought โ€” I thought that was what you wanted.โ€

โ€œDo you really think Iโ€™m the type of guy who would justโ€ฆ fuck around with you?โ€ Oliver spits. He looks so hurt that Percy takes a step back. โ€œDo you really think that lowly of me?โ€ย 

โ€œNo, I donโ€™t.โ€ Oliver gives him an unconvinced look. โ€œI donโ€™t! Itโ€™s got nothing to do with you! Itโ€™s me! I donโ€™t think Iโ€™m the type of guy you would ever consider seriously being with.โ€

โ€œWhat are you even talking about? Iโ€™ve taken you out on a date nearly every weekend since your brotherโ€™s wedding. I went to a family dinner at your parents house for Merlinโ€™s sake!โ€

โ€œThat doesnโ€™t mean anything though!โ€ Percy objects. โ€œThat doesnโ€™t mean you are with me. That you want me.โ€ Percy swallows. โ€œNo one โ€”no one ever wants me. I wasnโ€™t going to get my hopes up.โ€

Oliver stares at him like Percy has just told him his broom has caught fire.ย 

โ€œYou honestly thought that, didnโ€™t you? Christ, Perce. I want you,โ€ Oliver says, clutching at his heart. โ€œIโ€™ve wanted you since we were kids! Iโ€™ve never stopped wanting you. The snogging, the shaggingโ€ฆ theyโ€™re all great, but theyโ€™re not what Iโ€™m in it for. Iโ€™m in it for you because I want you. Donโ€™t you want me back like that?โ€

โ€œIt doesnโ€™t matter what I want,โ€ Percy says, tucking his chin and adjusting his glasses. He doesnโ€™t want to be having this conversation. โ€œI donโ€™t deserve what I want.โ€

โ€œBullshit,โ€ Oliver snaps.ย 

โ€œOliver, pleaseโ€”โ€

โ€œNo, donโ€™t Oliver me. It is! Itโ€™s complete bullshit! You wonโ€™t let yourself have anything fully because you feel like you donโ€™t deserve it! All because you made a few rotten choices!โ€

โ€œThey werenโ€™t just a few rotten choices!โ€ Percy shouts, his eyes burning with tears that are starting to prickle.โ€I turned my back on my family, Oliver! I completely sold myself and my morals out for a job that made me feel the least bit important! The least bit heard! What kind of man does that make me?โ€

โ€œIt makes you human! And for fucks sake, that was ages ago, Perce. Youโ€™ve been working hard to get back on good terms with your family and theyโ€™ve taken you back with open arms. When are you going to do that with yourself?โ€

Percy takes his glasses off, pawing at his eyes. โ€œStop. Please, I canโ€™t hear this right now.โ€

โ€œNo, I wonโ€™t stop. You need to hear this.โ€ Oliver steps closer at some point, his hands reaching to take Percyโ€™s. โ€œThereโ€™s not a choice you can make that you canโ€™t come back from. You shouldnโ€™t deny yourself happiness just because you made one lousy choice. I want you, Percy. I want to be with you. It doesnโ€™t matter to me what youโ€™ve done.โ€

Percy shakes his head, and it hits Oliverโ€™s chest. โ€œYou could have anyone in the world,โ€ he says, voice wavering. โ€œAnyone.โ€

Why me? Percy thinks but doesnโ€™t say. Youโ€™ve got so many options. Why settle for me?

โ€œIf I could have anyone, I would still choose you.โ€

โ€œStopโ€”โ€œย 

โ€œAbove everyone, I will always choose you.Why canโ€™t you see that?โ€

Oliverโ€™s words are like honey, dripping overtop of Percy and attempting to stick. But Oliver doesnโ€™t know the walls Percy has been putting up since they left Hogwarts. He doesnโ€™t know how deeply barricaded he is inside of himself after everything heโ€™s done. How the hurt he caused everyone else also filled a chasm inside of him so deep down that it will swallow Oliver up if Percy shows it to him.ย 

He doesnโ€™t want that for Oliver.ย 

โ€œMr. Wood,โ€ a voice says, offering Percy an olive branch. They both turn to find a young man Percy had been introduced to earlier standing there, peering at them wearily. Percy canโ€™t remember his name now. It feels like years ago since he first arrived at this party.ย 

Oliver growls. โ€œFucking โ€” yes?โ€ย 

โ€œThereโ€™s, um, a sponsor, sir,โ€ the man stammers. โ€œSheโ€™d like to speak with you, and the managers.โ€ย 

โ€œCan you tell her Iโ€™m busy?โ€ย 

Percy shakes his head. โ€œNo,โ€ he says, making himself look at Oliver. โ€œYou shouldnโ€™t blow one of your sponsors off. It could be important.โ€ย 

โ€œYouโ€™re important,โ€ Oliver argues, grasping Percyโ€™s hands and squeezing them. โ€œThis conversation is important right now.โ€ย 

โ€œThis conversation can wait. A Quidditch banquet is not the right time nor place for this type of conversation.โ€ย 

Oliverโ€™s brow furrows and he gives Percy a challenging look, one Percy has seen when heโ€™s attempting to keep a Quaffle away from his goalposts.ย 

โ€œYouโ€™re pushing me away,โ€ he accuses. โ€œYou donโ€™t want to have this conversation, so youโ€™re trying to cut it off. I donโ€™t want that, Percy. I want this to get resolved.โ€

โ€œThen weโ€™ll resolve it,โ€ Percy says, eyes darting to where the man is still watching them though appearing to be discreet about it. โ€œBut not here. Not like this.โ€

โ€œWhen then?โ€ย 

โ€œTomorrow,โ€ Percy tells him. โ€œTomorrow when I canโ€ฆ clear my head a bit.โ€

Oliver doesnโ€™t look convinced. โ€œYou promise?โ€

โ€œI promise. Now, will you please go talk to that sponsor? I donโ€™t want people to get suspicious of what we could possibly be doing out here.โ€

Oliver nods, squeezing Percyโ€™s hand one last time and looking like it takes a great deal of effort to let it go and walk away from him. When heโ€™s gone, Percy lets out a sigh. Heโ€™s alone now, and the night is quiet. Young. Full of promises that Percy isnโ€™t sure of accepting just yet.

He thinks about Oliver and the happiness he gives him.

He thinks about Fred. The way he died with the ghost of a smile on his face that Percy put there.ย 

--ย 

Percy doesnโ€™t sleep that night, and when the sun finally rises he decides to get out of bed and get dressed for the day. When he ignites his floo network, however, he doesnโ€™t go straight to Oliverโ€™s flat.ย 

He isnโ€™t sure the place he wants to go to is even open yet, but he steps inside his fireplace with a bit of floo powder, hoping for the best.ย 

โ€œWeasleysโ€™ Wizard Wheezes!โ€ย ย 

Percy remembers the family dinner right before George opened up his shop again, saying he was going to leave his floo open for his family at the shop if they wanted to stop by at any time. Heโ€™s thankful that apparently that includes him after all. He hadnโ€™t been sure at the time. But he stumbles out of the fireplace, righting himself quickly โ€”ย 

And comes face to face with his brother pressing Harry Potter against the checkout counter top, snogging him senseless.ย 

โ€œOh โ€” oh my god,โ€ Percy says, shielding his eyes. โ€œIโ€™m so sorry! I didnโ€™t see much, I promise!โ€

George laughs. Laughs because heโ€™s a fiend. And Percy peeks through his fingers to see him grinning back at him, still very much in Harryโ€™s personal space.ย 

โ€œItโ€™s alright, Perce,โ€ George says. โ€œYou donโ€™t have to cover your eyes. I thrive under an audience.โ€

Harry, apparently well versed with Georgeโ€™s behavior, rolls his eyes, pushing Percyโ€™s brother off of him.ย 

โ€œCut it out,โ€ Harry mutters, tugging on the hem of his shirt. His hair is even messier, as if someone had been tugging on it.ย 

โ€œJust kidding, love,โ€ George says, immediately settling down. Percy blinks at this.ย 

โ€œEverything okay, Percy?โ€ Harry asks, tilting his head and peering at him. Percy is struck again by just how grown up his youngest brotherโ€™s best friend is. He gets the same feeling when he looks at Ron. How is it that they became men before Percy himself did?

โ€œUm. Yes. No. I donโ€™t know, to be honest.โ€ Percy looks at the ground, feeling himself inarticulate and deflated. โ€œI actually came here to talk to George about something, but now I feelโ€ฆ sort of stupid.โ€

Silence drags on for a second, Percy looking at his feet and feeling like heโ€™s out of place. Heโ€™s tired of feeling this way.

George clears his throat. โ€œHarry, could I have a moment alone with my brother?โ€

โ€œYeah, Iโ€™ll just unload some of the boxes in the back,โ€ Harry says. Percy looks up just in time to see George lean over and kiss the scar on Harryโ€™s forehead. Harry smiles, nodding to Percy before heading towards the back.ย 

Percy is alone with George, and itโ€™s unnerving. He doesnโ€™t think heโ€™s ever been truly alone with George. There had always been Fred around too. After the war, after Fred, โ€” there shouldnโ€™t even be an after for Fred โ€” Percy hadnโ€™t come around the shop, only seeing George around his slew of other siblings at their weekly family dinners.

This is, perhaps, the first time heโ€™s realizing George has always been his own person. Separate from Fred. Separate from his family. He wishes he had realized that sooner. Maybe it wouldnโ€™t be so hard to look at him right now if he had.ย 

โ€œSoโ€ฆ you and Harry,โ€ Percy tries. It doesnโ€™t land as a joke. The words are uncertain, like the rest of him. โ€œWhen did that happen?โ€ย 

George crosses his arms, leaning against the counter and shrugging. โ€œAfter the war. I didnโ€™t want to open the shop alone, he didnโ€™t want to go back to Hogwarts. One thing led to another. It sort ofโ€ฆ just happened, I guess.โ€ย 

โ€œBut I thoughtโ€ฆโ€ย 

โ€œHe was with Ginny?โ€ย 

โ€œWell, yeah.โ€

โ€œThey never got back together when Harry came back. Itโ€™s not really my story to tell. Harry was different. Ginny was different. They just decided to stay friends. Ginny is dating Luna Lovegood now. She brought her to the wedding.โ€

โ€œOh.โ€ Percy blinks down at his feet again. โ€œIโ€ฆ didnโ€™t know that.โ€ย 

โ€œWell, youโ€™ve done a spectacular job of shutting yourself off from everyone,โ€ George says. โ€œSo Iโ€™m not surprised.โ€

โ€œWhaโ€”โ€

โ€œPlease. Donโ€™t think I havenโ€™t noticed,โ€ George cuts him off. โ€œYouโ€™re here. Youโ€™re coming back around. But youโ€™re not really here. Not when it comes down to it. Youโ€™re holding us all at arms length. I just canโ€™t figure out why.โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t think I know how to come back. Not really,โ€ Percy admits. And thatโ€™s the hardest part, isnโ€™t it? Admitting when you don't know something. โ€œI justโ€” I look at you all, my own family, and I feel like I donโ€™t know my place. Sure, I have a hand on mumโ€™s clock and I have a seat next to yours at the dinner table, butโ€ฆโ€

โ€œBut?โ€

Percy draws a breath, not surprised to find that itโ€™s shaky. He forces himself to look at George when he asks, โ€œDo you ever think that the wrong brother died?โ€ย 

George blinks, surprised. โ€œWhat?โ€

โ€œDo you โ€” do you ever wish it was me that died? Instead of Fred?โ€

โ€œPercy,โ€ George says, breathing his brotherโ€™s name. Itโ€™s that moment that does it. The passage of breath George uses to say his name that makes Percyโ€™s heart shatter. He doesnโ€™t think heโ€™s worth the air in anyoneโ€™s lungs, and itโ€™s been so very hard to admit aloud to anyone other than himself.ย 

โ€œItโ€™s just thatโ€ฆ sometimes I think it should have been me, instead of Fred,โ€ Percy keeps on, tears starting to fall. โ€œI was standing right there. I was right next to him, George. It could have just as easily been me, and sometimes I think the war took the wrong brother. Fred was so much better than me. Why does his life end while mine keeps going? Why is it that my own brother, who was able to make so many people happy in such a short amount of time, doesnโ€™t get to keep doing that for the rest of his life? What right do I have to be happy when he doesnโ€™t get to experience that ever again?โ€

โ€œPercy, you canโ€™t possibly believe thatโ€”โ€

โ€œI do, though!โ€ Percy shouts, cutting George off because he just canโ€™t stop talking now that heโ€™s started. โ€œI believe every single word of what I just said! And I just thought, that if anyone else could ever believe it too, if anyone else could ever hate me as much as I hate myself, that it would be you, George! Because I got to live when Fred didnโ€™t!โ€

Percy isnโ€™t sure when George moves, but suddenly heโ€™s directly in front of him, crushing him in the tightest embrace Percy has ever experienced. He closes his eyes tight, burying his face in Georgeโ€™s shoulder until his glasses get pushed up to the top of his head.ย 

โ€œYou fucking idiot,โ€ George says with so much affection that Percy lets out a sob. โ€œYouโ€™re so fucking stupid, you know that? I would give up so much to have Fred back. You have no idea. But not you. Never you.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s not fair,โ€ Percy wails, his hands tightening on the back of Georgeโ€™s shirt. โ€œI miss him so much. Itโ€™s just not fair.โ€

โ€œI know. I miss him too,โ€ George tells him softly. Percy is aware in the back of his mind that George is rocking them back and forth as he speaks, like their mum used to do whenever one of them would have a nightmare. โ€œI miss him every single day. And youโ€™re right. Itโ€™s not fair that he died. But it also wouldnโ€™t be fair if you died either, Perce. You understand that, right?โ€

Percy doesnโ€™t understand it fully, but heโ€™s beginning to feel like heโ€™s starting to. He nods, unable to speak, and feels Georgeโ€™s grip on him tighten.ย 

โ€œYou idiot. Is this why youโ€™ve been so distant with everyone?โ€ George says, sounding like he may be crying too. โ€œWhat brought this on, anyway?โ€

โ€œOliver,โ€ Percy manages, unable to say anything else. George seems to understand, though.ย 

โ€œAhh. That makes sense. I was wondering what was going between the two of you.โ€

โ€œHe wants to be with me.โ€ Percy pulls aways, wiping at his eyes. Thereโ€™s a wet stain on Georgeโ€™s shoulder. โ€œOr, he thinks he does anyway.โ€

George snorts. โ€œAnd let me guess. You being all insecure over yourself got in the way? You know Oliver isnโ€™t like that. He knows what he wants. Hell, Perce. The manโ€™s had a crush on you since Hogwarts. I thought he was going to die when he saw you with your Head Boy badge.โ€

Percy laughs despite himself. Itโ€™s a wet, snotty sound. โ€œDonโ€™t joke around like that.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m not joking! Merlin, Percy. Can you really not see it? That man has been gone over you for years now. And I think you feel the same way about him. I see the way you look at him. If he wants to be with you and you want to be with him, you shouldnโ€™t let your guilt about something you had no control over in the first place keep you apart.โ€

โ€œYou donโ€™t think that Iโ€ฆโ€ย 

โ€œThat you what? Donโ€™t deserve to be happy because our brother died and weโ€™re still alive? Do you think Fred would want that?โ€ย 

โ€œWell, no,โ€ Percy admits. He hasnโ€™t thought about that. What Fred would want. How he would think about Percy holding so much in.ย 

โ€œFred knew you fancied Oliver, Percy. We had a bet going at one point over who would crack first. My guess was during your seventh year. Fred guessed right after Hogwarts. Looks like we were both wrong.โ€ย 

Percy laughs. โ€œYou have no idea how wrong you both really were. We sort of had a thing going on for years while we were at Hogwarts. We never put a label on it though. I never thought that it would mean anything. Apparently I was wrong.โ€

โ€œWell, it wouldnโ€™t be the first time. Probably wonโ€™t be the last.โ€ George shrugs, smiling. โ€œSo, what are you going to do about Oliver?โ€

โ€œI need to talk to him. Iโ€™m going to talk to him. I just โ€” I wanted to come here first.โ€ย 

โ€œYou wanted to get closure,โ€ George says what he canโ€™t seem to.ย 

Percy nods. โ€œI wanted to feel okay again. With you. With myself. I knew that this was the first step in doing that.โ€

โ€œAnd do you? Feel okay?โ€ย 

โ€œIโ€™mโ€ฆ starting to,โ€ Percy says. โ€œI know itโ€™s going to be a process, but I think Iโ€™ll get there. You know, eventually.โ€

George nods as if he understands, and Percy thinks itโ€™s likely that if anyone could understand the process of healing, it would be George; George who lost half of himself during the war. George who probably knows what itโ€™s like to have grief nearly swallow you whole.ย 

โ€œYouโ€™ll be okay,โ€ George says, opening his arms up to Percy again. He steps in without hesitation. โ€œWe all will, eventually.โ€

โ€”

Oliverโ€™s flat is quiet when Percy floos over later that evening. Percy nearly suspects that Oliver isnโ€™t home, eyeing the way the dishes are over stacked in the sink and a few empty bottles of Firewhiskey are scattered about wearily.ย 

Heโ€™s hoping Oliver isnโ€™t attempting to fly while intoxicated when he hears the other man call his name.ย 

โ€œPerce?โ€ย 

Percy turns, finding Oliver standing in the kitchen doorway, the light from the hallway spilling over him and illuminating the gruff gracing his face. Oliver always was one who had to shave daily.ย 

โ€œYou havenโ€™t shaved,โ€ Percy comments. He feels like an idiot a moment later, his face flushing.ย 

โ€œDid you come over to talk about my grooming habits?โ€ Oliver asks, leaning against the doorframe. Thereโ€™s a trace of humor in his voice and something else that sounds like hope.ย 

โ€œNo, I came because โ€” well, because we need to talk. Obviously.โ€

Oliver nods slowly. โ€œObviously,โ€ he repeats. โ€œThough, I was beginning to wonder if you were even going to show up.โ€

โ€œI know. Iโ€™m sorry,โ€ Percy apologizes. He sighs, feeling it deep in his chest. Heโ€™s exhausted from crying earlier. โ€œI should have come sooner. I wanted to come sooner. But I had something I needed to take care of first.โ€

Oliverโ€™s nose crinkles. The way it did when they were students still and he didnโ€™t understand a homework problem. The way it did when they were fumbling in the dark with each other as boys, attempting to figure out how his own body meshed with Percyโ€™s. The way it always does when heโ€™s trying to understand something.ย 

โ€œWhat was it?โ€

Percy doesnโ€™t know how to have this conversation without movement, so he begins to shift. One foot to the next.ย 

โ€œYou were right, you know. What you said on the balcony last night about me not letting myself have anything fully because I donโ€™t feel like I deserve it.โ€ Percy takes a breath, feeling the air he draws in seeping into the cracks of the walls heโ€™s built up. โ€œThereโ€™s beenโ€ฆ this guilt, I guess. Itโ€™s been growing inside of me ever sinceโ€ฆ ever since I saw Fred die. I was right there, talking to him, just before he died. I was the last person he spoke to.โ€

โ€œPercy,โ€ Oliver says, crossing the distance to him because itโ€™s what heโ€™s always been willing to do for him and how has Percy never seen it until now? How has he never noticed all the ways Oliver is always clawing to get to him? He lets Oliver cup his face, looking up at the taller man. โ€œHoneyโ€” I didnโ€™tโ€ฆ I didnโ€™t know that. I had no idea.โ€

Percy shakes his head, grasping Oliverโ€™s wrists. โ€œI never told you. I neverโ€ฆ I never talk about it. I never talk about any of it. It felt so much easier to shove it down, to let it build up inside of me.โ€

โ€œSweetheart,โ€ Oliver says softly and god Percy melts. He crumples right there, falling forward into Oliverโ€™s chest, letting himself be caught up in an embrace for the second time today.ย 

โ€œThis whole time Iโ€™ve been carrying around this awful guilt that I shouldnโ€™t even be alive. That the wrong brother died in the war.โ€ Oliver cradles Percyโ€™s head, pushing it further into his chest. Percy can feel the way his fingers are trembling. โ€œAnd I feel like itโ€™s just been growing inside of me, and at some point I decided that I didnโ€™t deserve to be happy. And you, Oliver? God, you make me so incredibly happy. I deserve you least of all.โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s ridiculous. You of all people deserve to be happy,โ€ Oliver says. โ€œFred wouldnโ€™t have wanted you feeling this way. Itโ€™s not your fault that Fred died.โ€

โ€œI know. I โ€” I went to talk to George this morning. Thatโ€™s what I had to do before I came here. I was so certain he would hate me. That he would resent the fact that Iโ€™m alive and his twin, his best friend, died. If anyone would hate me as much as I hate myself, it would be George. But he said the same thing you did.โ€

โ€œOf course he did. Did you listen to him though? Did he manage to somehow get it through that thick skull of yours?โ€

Percy laughs. โ€œSort of. In a way, I guess he did. He โ€” well he did for me what youโ€™re doing right now. Though he sort of insulted me a bit more. You know, in an affectionate sort of way.โ€

โ€œHeโ€™s good at that,โ€ Oliver says, his thumbs rubbing over Percyโ€™s cheekbones.ย 

โ€œHmm,โ€ Percy hums, eyes closing at the contact. He sighs, realizing now itโ€™s time to let go and push on. That itโ€™s okay for him to take what is willinging being given. โ€œDo you remember the first time we ever made love?โ€

Oliver blinks at the change of direction, but like most things, goes along with it.ย 

โ€œHow could I ever forget? I was fifteen and nervous as hell. I was so afraid I was going to hurt you. I didnโ€™t have a clue what I was doing.โ€

Percy smiles, remembering the way Oliver trembled and shook throughout their entire first time. How, after, he looked at Percy like he was looking at his whole world. Percy didnโ€™t understand that look then. He does now.

โ€œIโ€™ve felt like that the whole of my life, it seems. Like Iโ€™m not quite sure what Iโ€™m doing. The only time I donโ€™t feel that way, it seems, is with you.โ€ He makes himself look Oliver in the eye. โ€œIโ€™m sorry that I didnโ€™t notice it before. The fact you feel the same way back. I forced myself not to look, and I hurt you in the process. I just โ€”I never dreamed that you would ever like me back.โ€

โ€œPercy,โ€ Olive says, nuzzling his nose against Percyโ€™s. โ€œYou complete dolt. I donโ€™t just like you. I love you. I canโ€™t believe I didnโ€™t give myself away from the start. I look at you like I look at a Quidditch Pitch. I was so certain it was written all over my face.โ€

โ€œWell, to be fair, I thrive more off of logic and theory. Itโ€™s harder to read your face than it is a book. Plus,โ€ Percy continues, adjusting his glasses awkwardly with Oliver still holding his face in his hands. โ€œThere was also the fact that we never really talked about our sexuality. For all I knew, you were just curious. I didnโ€™t know for sure if you wereโ€ฆโ€

โ€œIf I was gay or not?โ€ Oliver finishes for him.

โ€œWell, yeah.โ€

Oliver shrugs. โ€œTo be honest, itโ€™s not something Iโ€™ve really thought about.โ€

โ€œWhat?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s likely that Iโ€™m gay. I justโ€ฆ havenโ€™t thought about it, really. It didnโ€™t seem important to figure out a label over the years.โ€

โ€œYour own sexuality didnโ€™t seem important to you?โ€

โ€œI think about you and I think about Quidditch, and thatโ€™s about it. I knew I loved you, and that was enough for me. Maybe my sexuality is just attracted to Percy Weasley.โ€

Percy stares at Oliver. โ€œYouโ€™re an idiot.โ€

Oliver grins. โ€œBut you love me.โ€

โ€œI do. Merlin help me, I do. Iโ€™m not sure what to do now that Iโ€™ve admitted it, though.โ€

โ€œWell,โ€ Oliver says, moving his hands so his fingers lace with Percyโ€™s. โ€œWe could start with a cup of tea, because you always feel better after youโ€™ve had a cup of tea once youโ€™ve been frazzled.โ€

Percy sighs happily. โ€œTea sounds nice. And then?โ€

โ€œAnd thenโ€ฆ we do this thing for real. You let me love you for real.โ€

It is, perhaps, the most unromantic declaration of love that Percy has ever heard, but itโ€™s Oliver โ€” charming, stupid Oliver that he has loved since he was thirteen and discovering himself just as much as he was discovering Oliver. Oliver who sees no need to dress up his words when he knows that Percy โ€” logical, rational, hardheaded Percy โ€” needs that sort of bluntness in his life.ย 

And Oliver is perfect for Percy.

โ€œOkay,โ€ Percy agrees. โ€œLetโ€™s do this for real.โ€

--

One Year Later

โ€œIโ€™ve got to say, this really has been a fantastic match. Donโ€™t you think so Jordan?โ€

โ€œIndeed I do. But, really? What else did we expect? Puddlemere United and the Holyhead Harpies have both had an excellent season so far. Puddlemere so far remains undefeated, and thatโ€™s due in huge part to their amazing lineup.โ€

โ€œI agree. Theyโ€™ve really got a solid foundation built with this team. Speaking of which, it looks like Puddlemereโ€™s Johnson has the Quaffle, passing it along quickly to Hodge. Heโ€™s really flying, dodging the Harpies Chaser, Ginny Weasley.โ€

โ€œAND PUDDLEMERE SCORES! That was a brilliant play, if I do say so myself. Weasley looks a bit miffed, though.โ€

โ€œEven more so now. I do believe sheโ€™s shouting something at you, Jordan.โ€

โ€œHa. Iโ€™m not going to bother translating for our audience what she just said, considering there are children in the stands.โ€

โ€œGood call. It looks like Puddlemereโ€™s Seeker is circling the pitch, but no sign of the Snitch as of just โ€” WAIT A SECOND, IT WAS A FAKE OUT! FISHER IS DIVING! SHEโ€™S SPOTTED THE SNITCH!โ€

โ€œSHEโ€™S GOT IT! THATโ€™S THE MATCH! ANOTHER WIN FOR PUDDLEMERE UNITED! What an excellent game! Exciting until the very end!โ€

โ€œOne of the best Iโ€™ve ever seen. The teams are descending now, making their way โ€” wait a moment,ย  what is going on? It looks โ€” it looks like Puddlemereโ€™s Keeper, Oliver Wood has left his position but heโ€™s not going to dismount his broom.โ€

โ€œYouโ€™re right. It looks like heโ€™s making his way towards the stands? Iโ€™m not exactly sure what heโ€™s โ€” oh, it seems like heโ€™s spotted his boyfriend, Percy Weasley. This isnโ€™t exactly unusual. Weasley is usually in attendance for Woodโ€™s games. Though heโ€™s never flown straight over to him after a match.โ€

โ€œIt looks as if Weasley is giving Wood his congratulations. Very sweet.โ€

โ€œOh, now theyโ€™re kissing. GET A ROOM, WOOD!โ€

โ€œTheyโ€™re in love. Leave them alone. Wait. Is thatโ€ฆ Is Woodโ€ฆโ€

โ€œHe is! Wood has just pulled a ring box out of his Quidditch robes, ladies and gentlemen! How he didnโ€™t lose it during that match, I will never know. But it looks as if Wood is proposing!โ€

โ€œWe canโ€™t hear whatโ€™s being said, but Wood has taken Weasleyโ€™s hand in his and is speaking to him.โ€

โ€œWeasley is tearing up. His wiping at his eyes, oh, heโ€™s knocked his glasses off his face. He doesnโ€™t seem to care, though. Heโ€™s nodding! That looks like a yes, right?โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s definitely a yes! Wood is slipping a ring onto his finger, and now theyโ€™re embracing! Iโ€™ve got to sayโ€ฆ this is the first Quidditch proposal Iโ€™ve ever witnessed.โ€

โ€œQuiet in character too for Wood. Heโ€™s been quoted in a recent interview as saying that the only thing heโ€™s ever loved more than Quidditch is Percy Weasley.โ€

โ€œYou attended school with Wood and Weasley, didnโ€™t you Jordan?โ€

โ€œI did. Several Weasleys, in fact.โ€

โ€œDid you see this coming?โ€

โ€œAre you kidding me? We had a running bet one year over when these two would end up together. If Iโ€™m remembering correctly, none of us won when they actually started dating, but Fred Weasley, Percyโ€™s brother, did bet that if they ever got engaged, Oliver would propose during a match. Fred, my mate, wherever you are out there, you were right. I owe you a Firewhiskey. Iโ€™ll have one tonight in your honor.โ€

โ€œCheers.โ€

โ€œWhatโ€™s happening now? Can you make it out?โ€

โ€œIt looks like Wood is holding up Weasleyโ€™s hand to show the ring to the crowd, and theyโ€™re going wild! Just brilliant. I guess you can say weโ€™ve seen everything now.โ€

โ€œI guess you could. Well, congratulations Percy and Oliver. May your life together bring you nothing but happiness.โ€

itโ€™s so interesting to watch harry potter fans continue to try and distance the series/characters from the creator when jkr said this in 2023:

Itโ€™s So Interesting To Watch Harry Potter Fans Continue To Try And Distance The Series/characters From

i get it, harry potter was important to me too. i played hogwarts with my friends, i started a harry potter club, i had a wand and robes. i almost took โ€œreligion and harry potterโ€ as a freshman in college!! but when i found out that jkr was a transphobic nazi sympathizer? i dropped that shit so fast. it was kind of sad but mostly i was just angry at jkr. and i understood that the characters were fake while transgender people are real. you have to realize that transgender people are more important, right? and nonbinary people like myself because iโ€™m pretty sure she hates me too but itโ€™s mostly trans folks

and yeah you can interpret the characters however you want! you can make them black, queer, trans, whatever you want! youโ€™re still using her characters, her series. her bigotry is inherent in her creations. you canโ€™t separate it and the fuck would you want even the smallest part in it?? just let it fucking die, already, please. or if you canโ€™t give up a mediocre fantasy series, you could at least admit that youโ€™re not the best ally, huh?

please help me find this fic. And thank you

hello beautiful people, I was wondering if you could help me find a fic on ao3. Iโ€™m pretty sure it was post-war 8th year. Draco was being being bullied and harassed. I think Zachariah smith was one of the big bullies. And Harry is really possessive and protective of Draco. But Harry had started using dark magic and it was currupting him a bit. I think he almost killed someone for hurting Draco. He realized he was scaring Draco and stopped. Then he made a promise to Kingsley that he would stop using dark magic and the process was similar to a detox. Iโ€™m sorry if itโ€™s too little or completely wrong. Thank you for anything tho

Sorry, we could not find this fic. Maybe one of our followers can help!

Can someone please write a hilarious and accurate Derry Girls / Harry Potter universe crossover? I just recently finished Derry Girls and now equipped with a very basic knowledge of โ€˜90s Ireland, imagining those Muggleborn girls in Hogwarts surrounded by the ENGLISH? Unmatched potential, that is.

ย Weโ€™ll Meet Again

ย Weโ€™ll Meet Again

โ€œThey tell of a tale in these London parts. That the devil and the wondering soul meet once every century......โ€

Prophecy:ย 

Behold, the Dark Lord, shrouded in night,

With cunning eyes that gleam with a wicked light.

He sought power, a thirst that never waned,

And found it in two girls, their powers untamed.

The first, an obscurial, her magic twisted,

A parasitic force, dark and unassisted.

Her heart consumed by anger and pain,

She unleashed destruction, a torrent of disdain.

The second, a Veela, of ancient blood,

Her lineage was renowned, a power understood.

To cheat Death, to rise from ashes anew,

A gift passed down, rare and true.

The Dark Lord, in his arrogance and greed,

Though he could control them, and fulfill his need.

But little did he know, their destinies entwined,

Two forces combined, an alliance enshrined.

The obscurial, with her dark might,

Found solace in the Veela's light,

Their powers melded, a force so strong,

They united against the Dark Lord's wrong.

With their combined strength, they rose in might,

Fighting against the Dark Lord's blight.

They shattered his plans, broke his hold,

Their powers are unstoppable, brave, and bold.

The Dark Lord, now faced with defeat,

Brought to his knees, humbled and beat.

The girls, victorious, brought him down,

His reign of darkness forever drowns.

So ends the tale of the Dark Lord's plight,

Thwarted by two girls, with powers so bright.

Their alliance is a symbol of hope and might,

A prophecy fulfilled, in the battle for light.

COMING SOON!!!! chapters will be uploaded here on Tumblr, Wattpad, and Ao3

Hello, I was the one who sent the request about king!sirius having many concubines. I really like your writing on it, and it fits my imagination๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป.

If possible, I would like to ask for another request. This time it's about Matteo Riddle. Mattheo was told to remarry by his father, Tom, because his wife had not produced a son. Even though his wife never gave birth to a son, Mattheo had a daughter who was already a teenager. When told to remarry, Mattheo immediately became angry with his father, because he only loved his wife, and insisted that his daughter was his heir. Mattheo will 'eliminate' anyone who dares to 'remove' his daughter from her status and right as heir.

By the way, may I be ๐Ÿฉฐ Anon

A Fathers Love

a/n : Hope you enjoy, but what is an anon? Iโ€™m relatively new to all this. Also I changed the daughter from a teen to like 12.

Warnings : period misogyny, almost deadly child birth and pregnancy, allusion to smut, allusions to Reader having a more fragile body, Mattheo and Reader having an arranged marriage

Anon ๐Ÿฉฐ

Royal au

Matthew Riddle x Fem! Reader

Hello, I Was The One Who Sent The Request About King!sirius Having Many Concubines. I Really Like Your

Mattheo had never thought heโ€™d glared so fiercely before. His father, Tom Riddle, the one who usurped the throne for his great grandfather, now know as King Voldemort stared down at him with mild interest. Mattheo his only heir had one child. That child was the Princess Morgana.

Mattheo and his wife, the Lady Y/n Riddle had one child. Lady Y/nโ€™s body wasnโ€™t meant for such strenuous things. With how bad her pregnancy was they assumed that her child would be a boy.

After a long and difficult labor, Y/n battling for her and her childโ€™s life, Morgana was born. Y/nโ€™s recovery was a long and challenging journey, her healer informed her it would be against her if she bore another child. Y/n would stay up late at night with her darling daughter in her arms, fearful her father would wish her a boy.

But Mattheo doted on his daughter every chance he could. He sat with her in the darkness of her room to โ€œprotectโ€ her from monsters. Heโ€™d duel with wooden swords with her. He loved his beautiful Y/n for gifting him with such a wonderful child.

The King Voldemort however was not pleased. The women he chose to be his sons bride was worthless. She hadnโ€™t provided a male heir, she had failed at her one job as his sonโ€™s wife. So he found a solution.

โ€œAre you being serious Father?โ€ Mattheoโ€™s voice rang through the throne room. His fatherโ€™s advisors turned away, not wanting to face the princes wrath.

โ€œLady Daphne would make an excellent wife, she would give you sons.โ€ Mattheoโ€™s eyes raged with fury at his fatherโ€™s words. How dare he! He had no right.

โ€œI have no need for sons, I have my heir!โ€ Mattheo voiced his tone bordering a scream. Voldemort rolled his snake eyes and shrugged.

โ€œYou have a daughter, a girl unfit to rule.โ€

โ€œMy daughter is my heir!โ€

The room went dead silent. It was unheard of for a father to allow his daughter to be his heir. Mattheo remembered every moment from his daughter creation to now. Mattheo didnโ€™t make love to Y/n on the night of there marriage. He wanted her love before he force a child into her.

For months the pair grew their relationship, and then they decided they wanted a child. Mattheo was fearful, he knew his wife well enough to see her lose her breath so easily, to see her fatigue in the cold.

When both Y/n and Morgana survived, Mattheo made a vow. That for his wifeโ€™s hard labor his child would sit his throne. His daughter would be queen one day. Morgana grew to be a mommyโ€™s girl with no doubt in his mind. Although Morgana looked and acted so similar to Mattheo, she was never far from her mothers side.

โ€œI will not remarry, my wife is very much alive!โ€ Mattheo roared. Voldemort stood from his throne as Matthe stepped forward.

โ€œIโ€™m saying divorce your wife, send Morgana away with her and give this kingdom a true heir!โ€ Mattheo froze on the spot. Leave Y/nโ€ฆ leave Morgana. Mattheo didnโ€™t allow another word and quickly left the room. He ignored his fathers shouts for him as he marched outside.

Mattheo walked outside and saw them. His darling wife and daughter played in the meadow around the castle. Y/n sat braiding flowers into a crown as Morgana chased a butterfly. Y/nโ€™s green dress blended into the greenery around her. Morganaโ€™s silver dress sparkled brightly as she chased the orange butterfly.

Mattheo slowly walked over to Y/n and tackled her into the ground. Y/n shrieked in surprise as Mattheo began to litter kisses all over her neck and face.

โ€œMattheo!โ€Y/ n squealed happily. Mattheo brought his wife into his lap holding gently onto her waist. Mattheo stared into Y/nโ€™s dazzling e/c eyes. Y/n stared at her husbands face for a while, she gently cupped his cheek.

โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong my love, youโ€™re troubled.โ€ Mattheo leaned into her touch. Her hands were so delicate.

โ€œI am fine darling, I promise.โ€ Y/n nodded softly deciding not to pry. She placed the flower crown on his head with a smile.

โ€œPapa! Mama! Look what Iโ€™ve caught!โ€ Morgana yelled as she plopped down next to her mother. Y/n gently brought Morgana closer and placed a crown on her head.

โ€œWhat is it Morgana?โ€ Morganaโ€™s hands slowly opened to reveal the orange butterfly in her hands. The butterfly crawled into Y/nโ€™s outreached hand. There was a small tear in its wing.

โ€œCan you fix him Mama?โ€ Y/n giggled softly.

โ€œHow do you know heโ€™s a he?โ€

Morgana pouted softly, her brows furring. She nuzzled into Y/n and she placed her motherโ€™s crown on her head.

โ€œYes I can fix him.โ€ Y/nโ€™s hands began to glow softly. The butterfly began to glow, then his wing was perfectly clear. The butterfly flew away quickly and Morgana stared at it in awe. Mattheo stared at his lovely little family.

โ€œMy daughter will be queen, I will make sure of that, no one will challenge you my darling.โ€ Mattheo thought as he stared at his daughter.

Relationship! (Havenโ€™t decided if Dad will be a death eater or not still but up to writer if people use this rubbish) (I JUST WANNA SHARE!)
