Forbidden love|| Percy Weasley

Chapter 5

*Ruby's small pov*

The next day, I arranged to meet up with Oliver to talk about the essay. I was excited and nervous at the same time. After six years of liking him in secret, I could finally talk to him, even as friends. He didn't care that I was in Slytherin, and he said that he loved my company, which made my heart flutter. I was also going to give him the money that I owed him. Because he and I made a bet when he told me that Percy used to have a crush on Y/n during the first three years in Hogwarts but then he grew to hate her but he believes that he still has some feelings even if he doesn't admit it and I believe the same for Y/n but of course she denies it. So we made a bet for how long it will take them to be together, and I said by the end of the month while Oliver said by the end of the year or never because of how selfish both of them are. But Y/n already found her prince charming, who can't stop talking about since last night, so he technically won. When I walked into the Great Hall I found him sitting with Percy who seemed to having a deep conversation with some other Gryffindors. I went and sat next to Oliver, who gave me a gentle smile while he was eating his cereal.

Ruby: You won the bet

I said giving him two galleons, and he looked at me confused 

Oliver: Wait, don't tell me she has a boyfriend?

He asked and I nodded negatively 

Ruby: Not yet! But from the way she talks about him, I can hear the bells from the church for the wedding 

I said with a laugh and he sighed 

Percy: Who is getting married?

He asked while joining our conversation. I don't know why Y/n didn't like him, he seemed a really nice guy to me and I just knew that they were perfect for each other 

Ruby: No one in particular.

I said trying to lie because I wasn't going to tell my best friend's secrets to her enemy after all. He nodded and then continued talking to another Gryffindor before Oliver turned to me

Oliver: Good bluff, I will use you to cover me next time on something because Percy sucks at it! Anyway, I also found out yesterday that my best friend is in a secret relationship 

He said, and I smiled at his first sentence with a blush on my cheeks. He was just so dreamy! Also, that was the moment that I realized we were both wrong. But there is no way we both didn't know well our best friends 

Ruby: There is no way we were mistaken 

I said, and he nodded agreeing with me, but then he came up with an idea

Oliver: Wait!

He said thinking of something and I looked at him confused 

Ruby: What?

I asked and he looked excited about his own idea 

Oliver: You will love it!

He said whispering to me his idea and to say the truth he was a genius! That will totally work! Before I was able to answer, I saw my best friend walking my way with her Quidditch uniform because she had to practice in an hour. But before she was able to come to us, Oliver Brown stopped her and started talking with her. I saw her blush from afar, and I smiled at them. My best friend was in love

Oliver: Wait, is it Oliver Brown?

He asked and I nodded. And that was the moment that I realized that my bestie and I totally had something for boys named Oliver. God, we had an amazing type

Ruby: Yeah 

I said with a smile, admiring how cute they look. Maybe it was a bad idea to take her away from him just because we thought she liked someone else. Because she seemed to really like him, and I was so glad that she was happy. I caught Percy looking at them and the glares that he was giving to Oliver Brown. Maybe we weren't wrong after all
