"So do you think you'll ask Davies out?" Alicia asked me.

"I don't know," I sighed, sitting down next to her.

"I still don't know what you see in him," Oliver chided.

"He's cute! He's really good at quidditch, he's smart, he's nice, he's a good leader, and did I mention he is fine as hell?" I listed dreamily.

"I don't see it."

"Well, you aren't the one who has to see it. That's me. And why do you care?"

"You're friends with my chasers. He's the captain of an opposing team. You all could be together and one of them could slip up and not think too much about his questions, even when they turn to quidditch. I can't have that."

"Olly, you should trust your Chasers more."

"I trust them. I don't trust him."

"Olly, please just be happy for me."

"I'll think about it if you choose another boy and stop calling me Olly."

"But Olllyyyyy," I whined, "You're my best friend. You're my best friend! It's your job to support me!"

"I know, but Davies dates girls for a month before he dumps them. You deserve better."

"But I like him!"

"I know you do, but he's not the best guy for you. Don't hate me just because I tell you the truth."

"Olly, I don't hate you, I just..."

"Fine. Go for him. And I promise I'll let you cry to me when—if things go wrong."

"Thank you!" I exclaimed.

"You should ask him to Hogsmeade this weekend," Katie decided.

"But I get so nervous around him! I don't think I'm ready. Next month?"

"He'll have a girlfriend by next month! He goes off the market fast, ya know," Katie argued.

"Fine! I'll...I'll pass him a note," I decided.

"And for the actual date?" Oliver asked, still coming off as deeply annoyed.

"Well, I'll be more confident then; I'll know he likes me back."

"Well, then again...a date with Davies doesn't require a lot of conversation," Oliver speculated.

"Are you...are you calling me a whore?" I asked quietly.

"No, no, no," he rushed, taking my hands. "I love you. But him...he uses girls all the time. You like him so much you'll do what he wants, too scared to say no. I don't want that to happen to you. Because I love you."

"Have faith in me, Olly. If he makes me feel pressured, I'll leave him."

"Promise?"

"Promise," I confirmed. He hugged me tightly. "I love you too, Olly."

He gave me a half smile before he got up and went up to his dorm. "Is he mad at me?" I asked Alicia.

"I can't tell. Normally, you tell us how he's feeling."

"It's harder when it's how he feels about me," I sighed.

The next day, I went into Transfiguration early and blew a dove note to Davies. It was only "Hogsmeade?" but it was better that way.
