Harry followed Oliver across the grounds. He began to panic once he realized that they were heading back to the school. There were not many places there that they could avoid being caught. Part of Harry’s mind was screaming at him to get out of the situation he was voluntarily walking into. What if Oliver expected more than he was willing to give?

“I know a better place.” Harry stopped and grabbed Oliver’s arm. He could not risk getting caught. Not by teachers and not by other students. Harry didn’t even want to think about what Ron would do if he found out. Hermione would most likely be happy for him. As long as she didn’t have to be around when Ron found out.

“Where?” Oliver raised an eyebrow and studied Harry. Harry took a deep breath. There was one place that they could go where they would not have to worry about being caught. Not many people knew about it. Oliver would be leaving Hogwarts in the morning so there was no reason to worry about the information going any further.

“It’s…hard to get to.” Harry paused. “Just…follow me.” Harry hurried across the grounds. Halfway there he froze. No. He couldn’t do anything there…it would be wrong. “Where were you thinking of going?” He looked behind him at Oliver. Oliver was running to catch up.

“My dorm.” Oliver shrugged. Harry thought for a moment. As long as no one else was awake it would work. Harry gave a reluctant nod. “Good. Let’s go.” Oliver took Harry by the hand and led him into the school and straight to the dorm room.

Harry was feeling a little nervous. Oliver seemed to have everything planned out. That could have been a good thing and it could have been a bad thing. Harry assumed he’d be finding out soon enough.

Harry watched as Oliver opened the door slowly and looked around. “Everyone is asleep. We’ll have to be quiet.” Oliver whispered to Harry while walking into the room. Harry followed, unable to do anything else. He could feel his heart begin to beat faster.

“What do you want to do?” Harry asked once they were on Oliver’s bed with the curtains closed. He looked up at Oliver with wide, curious eyes. He was very new to all of this.

“I thought we could pick up where we left off.” Oliver pulled Harry against him without warning. Harry nearly jumped away from the sudden movement. He realized that he would have to calm down if he didn’t want to look like he didn’t know what to do.

Harry allowed his eyes to shut just before he felt Oliver’s lips brush against his own. He used to often think about Oliver like this. There were many times wher wou would lay awake at night thinking about how it would feel to be kissed by Oliver. There were other people that he thought about but Oliver had been one of the first.

Oliver’s lips began to move slowly against Harry’s. Harry sat back. There were a few things he had to know before he could go any further. He took a deep breath, unsure about how to phrase the question.

“Is something wrong?” Oliver asked with concern evident in his voice. Harry nodded, shook his head then nodded again. His head was a mess.

“Why do you want to do this with me?” Harry was finally able to speak. He instantly regretted asking the question. Oliver looked confused.

“What do you mean?” Oliver moved closer to Harry and draped an arm across his shoulders. “Do you not want to do this?”

“I do. I…I just want to know that I’m doing it for the right reasons.” Harry sighed and leaned against Oliver, resting his head on the older boy’s shoulder. He wanted to make sure it wasn’t just because he was the only one available. If Harry was going to do anything more, it would have to mean something to both of them. Especially since Harry had never even kissed anyone before. Not the way Oliver kissed him.

“Oh. I see.” Oliver smiled. “I think I know what you mean.” His arm tightened around Harry. Harry looked up at Oliver and smiled. He had thought his explanation didn’t make any sense at all. Apparently it did.

“You do?” Harry asked, looking hopeful. Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad night after all.

“First tell me why you want to do this.” Oliver kissed Harry’s forehead gently. Harry took another deep breath. He could admit to his little…crush.

“I want to do it because I…I’ve been interested in you for a while now.” Harry admitted. He began to blush.

Oliver grinned broadly. The slight pink tint to Harry’s cheeks made him look so innocent and naïve. He had felt some kind of attraction to Harry since the beginning of the year. He would catch himself staring a few times during practice, after practice and in the showers. Harry was attractive. He could admit that. But to admit he had feelings for him…that would be a little more difficult.

Harry started to move away from Oliver. He sat at the end of the bed looking very nervous. Oliver knew he had to say something fast or he would lose his chance. “Harry…” He reached out to take Harry’s hand and pull him close again. “I am attracted to you. It would be hard not to be.” Oliver wrapped his arms around the younger boy.

“You are?” Harry asked his voice was filled with disbelief. Oliver nodded. “Good.” Harry looked a little less nervous.


“I’m not looking for anything more than just tonight Harry.” Oliver wanted to get that out in the open. The last thing he wanted to do was make Harry think that there was the option of having a relationship. Oliver couldn’t do that. Perhaps later on when his life would allow him to have one.

“Oh. I understand.” Harry sounded disappointed. He looked up at Oliver and smiled weakly. “Can we still have tonight?”

“Yes. We can still have tonight.” Oliver bent to kiss Harry softly on the cheek.
