Oliver P.O.V

After Hermione yelled at Professor Moody to stop using the torture curse on a creature, I decided to ask her to take a walk with me and hopefully find out what's bothering her to take a walk with me and hopefully find out what's bothering her. Harry, the twins, Lee and Ginny spoke to me before I was supposed to meet Hermione.

"Hey guys do you think everything is alright with Hermione?" Ginny asks slightly worried.

"It's hard to say Gin she's been acting off since the summer first started." Harry says with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Well I did ask her to take a walk with me around the corridors because we have a free period so maybe I could ask her and find out?" I say.

"You can try but knowing Hermione she'll try to hide what's on her mind for as long as she can." Ginny says. I nod before saying a quick goodbye to the group and leave the class to find Hermione waiting for me.

"Hey." She says with a small smile. "What took you so long?"

"I was just talking to Harry and the others about something." She nods and doesn't push me to tell her more. We walk in silence before I decide to speak up.

"So divination seemed.... interesting." She laughed at this.

"That's one way to put it. I just love being told I have danger ahead of me." She laughs again and I smile slightly.

"What did you think of Professor Moody?" She asks me.

"I think he's a good teacher. He definitely knows how to make people fear him though." I laugh and she nods her head. We fall into an awkward silence.

"Were you alright lass because you looked very uncomfortable in his class." She looks down.

"Yeah I just think that it was harsh that he picked on Neville knowing that he likes herbology and then used the cruciatus curse on a creature before his eyes." I nod.

"Makes sense." I say and we sit under a tree on the castle grounds. I sigh. "Lass your friends are worried about you because you haven't been yourself all summer and since we came back."

She sighs. "My parents have been arguing all summer and even when we went on Holiday to France they were constantly at each others throats. They tried to act like everything was fine around me when I could see that it wasn't. And on the last week of summer they decided to get a divorce and me and my mom moved. I went to the shop and that was when I bumped into you." I stay silent.

"I have to go to court with them to work out the arrangements of when I can see my dad but I didn't tell Harry and Ginny because I knew they'd worry about me and I didn't want them to.... so I kept it to myself until now."

Hermione P.O.V

After class had finished I waited outside for Oliver. When he finally walks out I smile at him.

"So divination seemed.... interesting." I laugh.

"That's one way to put it. I just love being told I have danger ahead of me." I laugh again and he smiles slightly.

"What did you think of Professor Moody?" I ask me.

"I think he's a good teacher. He definitely knows how to make people fear him though." he laughs and I nod my head. We fall into an awkward silence.

"Were you alright lass because you looked very uncomfortable in his class." I look down.

"Yeah I just think that it was harsh that he picked on Neville knowing that he likes herbology and then used the cruciatus curse on a creature before his eyes." he nods.

"Makes sense." He says and we sit under a tree on the castle grounds. He sighs. "Lass your friends are worried about you because you haven't been yourself all summer and since we came back."

I sigh. "My parents have been arguing all summer and even when we went on Holiday to France they were constantly at each others throats. They tried to act like everything was fine around me when I could see that it wasn't. And on the last week of summer they decided to get a divorce and me and my mom moved.

"I have to go to court with them to work out the arrangements of when I can see my dad but I didn't tell Harry and Ginny because I knew they'd worry about me and I didn't want them to.... so I kept it to myself until now." I look to face him and find him looking deep in thought.

"So why are you telling me before them?" You've known them longer than you've known me." He asks looking at me.

"I don't know I just feel like I can trust you. There's something about you that's comforting but I don't know what." I say and meet his gaze.

"Well I'm glad you find my company comforting." He says and sends me a smile.

He looks down at my lips and then back at my eyes before we both lean in slightly. We are only inches apart and I can feel his breath on my face. My breath begins to quicken as he puts his hand so that it's caressing my cheek. I close the gap between us and the second our lips touch I feel sparks fly through my entire body. Our lips move in sync and Oliver deepens the kiss pulling me into his lap so that I'm straddling him. I rest my forehead on his and I look up to see him grinning at me. I smile back and he reconnects our lips for a bit longer this time. His hands rest on my waist. I can feel the warmth radiating from his body. I pull away from the kiss.

"I was.... not expecting that." I say with a small smile.

"Me neither." He says and smiles. He caresses my cheek and we both stand up. I immediately miss the warmth of his body next to mine. We walk back to the castle and Oliver's and my hand keep brushing off of each other until we are holding hands with our fingers intertwined. We  walk into the Great Hall with goofy grins on our faces. We sit down with Harry, Lee, Ginny, Fred and George. Me and Oliver sit right next to each other and start conversations with our friends not realizing we still had our hands locked together under the table.
