There you laid, with the man of your dreams in your arm. Feeling his chest rise and fall as he slept. His head on your chest while he had his arms around your waist. Your arms wrapped around him in a way that allows you to gently run your fingers through his hair. Something that you enjoy may even be more than him, there's something just so calming and grounding about it.

He had finished his last quidditch game at Hogwarts. He had played his heart out, winning. Celebrating hard meaning he crashed hard. Waking up to him still on top of you.

You let your mind wander as you looked down at the perfect boy who stole your heart. All the memories came flooding in.

You first noticed Oliver when you were both first years. Climbing onto the train you could feel your hands shake with nerves. You sat down in the train next to a girl and immediately hit it off, bonding over your nerves. They walked in Oliver, thinking back he looked so young. You both were. Just young and innocent. You hadn't thought much of him in that moment just that you liked his accent and the way his eyes lit up when he talked about quidditch.

As you felt Oliver shift on you, you kissed the top of his head and spoke quietly, " I'm here. I have you". Watching him settled back in and fall back into his deep sleep.

The next memory came as you went back to playing with his hair.

You two were inseparable since those moments in the train. Doing everything together. There was never a time you and Oli weren't together.

"OLI YOU DID IT! IM SO PROUD OF YOU" you yell as you run up to him and throw your arms around his neck and jump. Thankful for his quick reflexes, he caught you as you wrapped your legs around his waist, and held on to him tight. You jump down and smack his shoulder. " I told you, you could do it. You never fail to amaze me Oli" Oliver blushed at your compliment.

During yours and Oliver's 3rd year you two decided to date. Although what really was dating when you were fourteen. For you two it was going on painfully awkward dates, only holding hands when no one was around, and you getting lost in his eyes as he talked about quidditch.

You came out of your daze of memories when you felt Oliver mumble something under his breath. You giggle ever so slightly hoping not to wake the boy. Successful, you decided to gently move your hand from his hair to his shoulder gently scratching, calming him down,

"I'm sorry I'm talking so much, sweetheart" Oliver mumbled as you two were laying on the common room couch. You two were now in fifth year, 16 years old, still dating, trying to figure out if what you two were feeling was love. You giggle at Oliver's apology. "Oli, you know I would listen to you talk about quidditch for hours on end."you say. " I know I just don't want to take advantage of your time, I want to hear about your day" he replied. You blush at how much he cared about you. "Well not much. We had breakfast together and then I got back a perfect score on my quiz and-" you began but were quickly cut off by Oliver abruptly sitting up and kissing you. You were so shocked you didn't even have time to kiss back before pulling back and said " a perfect score? And you are just telling me this now???? My girlfriend is absolutely amazing and way to humble '' you laugh at his dramatics but lean in to kiss him again.

You sighed, that is one of your favorite memories. You and Oliver were always each other's biggest fan. Celebrating the wins big with one another while also being there to mourn the losses, whatever they may be, together. You look down at the boy in your arms and mumble,"how did you make me fall in love with you?"

Not wanting to stop the memory lane you were walking down you closed your eyes gently and lulled yourself back into memory lane.

"Why can't you just trust me when I say you are enough?" Oliver says not quite yelling but definitely not at his normal tone and volume. You were sitting on his bed with your back against the headboard. You had a pillow on your lap as you wrap your arms around it. " Well I'm sorry Oliver that I happen to be insecure about my future. It's not exactly easy dating, Mr. Perfect Hot Shot Bound to Be Professional Quidditch Player" you say raising your tone as well. You groaned in annoyance, not at him, but the fact that you were even struggling with insecurity. You shifted your body so you were laying down and turned yourself so you were on your stomach and your head was facing the pillow. You groaned into the pillow and give up on holding back the tears. You sob into the pillow, letting go. You didn't hear him walk over and lay down on the bed next to you. You felt his move your body so your head was on his chest as he wrapped his arms around you holding you tight. Neither of you saying anything, he just held you as you cried yourself to sleep.

You woke up the next morning with dried tears. You had crashed so hard you hadn't moved at all during the night. You woke up and removed your body slowly from Oliver, causing him to jolt awake. "Oh hi you" he mumbled, still half asleep. " It's ok Oli you can go back asleep" you say voice horse from the crying you did the night before. "No no I like being awake when you're awake" he said, opening his arms, encouraging you to come back into his arms. You happily obliged, laying back down. You let moments pass as you two laid in comfortable silence. Oliver broke the silence by quietly saying, " I didn't mean to make you feel invalidated last night. I want to listen if you would be willing to talk to me about what you are feeling" you sigh at his comment, this boy loves you. There's no doubt, even if you two haven't said it yet. You two spent the entire day talking. And listening. You two finished the day never feeling so close.

You came back to reality to see Oliver looking up at you.

" Were you watching me day dream?" you ask with a teasing tone.

" Yes" Oliver replied with no shame. Continuing, " it's one of my favorite things to do, watching you be at complete peace. Especially when it's with me"

"You just woke up and you already have me blushing, a new record caption Oli"

"What can I say, I aim to win. Now tell me what you were dreaming about" he said with eyes full of anticipation.

" Just us. Some of my favorite memories. From us meeting, to you getting on the quidditch team, to the time we celebrated my perfect score on that one quiz, and the time I knew I lo-" you stopped mid word realizing you were about to confess your love to him. Even if it had been four years, it was scary.

"Don't hold out on me now, sweetheart. Finish that sentence" Oliver said with a cheeky smile.

"I love you" you whispered, losing all confidence.

" I love you too" Oliver said back matching your volume, " I love you so much"
