Samantha sat in the Gryffindor common room reading her potions book so she will be prepared for potions class later that day.

Snape already loved to make her seem like an idiot so she will do anything in her power to not be embarrassed again in his class, never really seemed to work though.

"Samantha we need to talk." Oliver says walking over to her. Samantha smiles at him and nods her head happily, she hasn't seen him since the train ride the other day and it worried her slightly.

Oliver grabs her hand and she sets her book on the side table and he drags her out of the common room down the hall way slightly so they were in private.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, are you doing okay?" Samantha asks looking at Oliver concerned and he shakes his head slightly worrying her.

"What's wrong?" She asks resting a hand on his shoulder gently. Oliver doesn't reply instead he grabs her wrist and squeezes it tightly making Samantha wince at the sudden pain.

"Oli stop you're hurting me." Samantha whispers but Oliver seemed to ignore her as he looks at her angrily.

"Why were you flirting with Diggory the other day before the feast?" Oliver asks his voice deep and Samantha looks at him confused.

"Oliver what are you talking about?" Samantha asks confused, that seemed to piss him off more because his grip on her wrist tightened making her let out a small cry.

"I saw you! You were smiling at him and flirting!" Oliver yells making her flinch at the sudden loudness of his voice.

There was no one else around to make him stop and Samantha felt her heart racing a million miles an hour not knowing what to do.

"I wasn't flirting with him. We were just talking Oliver." Samantha says calmly trying her best not to cry, but she couldn't help the panic and fear that she was feeling.

"Don't lie to me!" Oliver yells grabbing the tops of her arms squeezing them tightly making a small Yelp leave her mouth. Tears welled up in her eyes and she looked at Oliver scared, she's never felt so scared before from him.

"I'm not lying!" Samantha cries the tears falling out of her eyes. She didn't know why Oliver was acting this way, she didn't understand it. He wasn't like this last year so why was he acting like this now? It didn't make any sense to her.

Oliver seemed to come to his senses because his eyes soften and he looks at the crying Samantha sadly.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't..." Oliver whispers pulling her into a tight hug as she cries against his chest.

Samantha hugs her arms to her chest gripping onto her own shirt tightly as she cried. Oliver rests a hand on the back of her head and kisses the top of her head as well whispering how sorry he was.

Samantha didn't know what to do. She didn't know if she should forgive him but her heart was telling her yes and her head was telling her no. Normally she would go to George with things like this but she couldn't tell George what just happened.

"Please forgive me. I'm so sorry." Oliver whispers again and Samantha just nods her head as she starts to sniffle and her crying comes to a stop. Oliver lets out a sigh of relief and pulls away wiping the tears from her cheeks, but her eyes were blood shot red.
