stoptocheer = Oliver and Cedric, femgeek = Terence and Marcus.
Terence: **sees Oliver walking towards the Quidditch field** Wood!
Oliver: :: turns, then sighs and stops to wait for him::
Terence: Can I talk to you for a moment?
Oliver: :: shrugs:: Make it quick.
Terence: What exactly is going on with you and Marcus?
Oliver: Right now? Nothing.
Terence: **pauses** Right. Well that at least explains that.
Oliver: Explains what?
Terence: Why Marcus was practically crying last night.
Oliver: No reason for him to be upset.
Terence: Right. From what little he told me, you fucking dumped him without explanation, without even telling him you were dumping him. But that's no reason to be upset, no.
Oliver: Like Pucey said, I'm just a fling and a phase, so why would it matter.
Terence: Puc-- Oh, for fuck's sake, Wood, you're listening to Adrian now? Adrian is a fucking bastard, and I'm speaking from experience, here. Don't you think you owe it to Marcus to at least listen to what he has to say before you believe Adrian over him?
Oliver: Don't tell me what to do!
Terence: You're being an IDIOT, and you're hurting my best friend!
Oliver: Fuck off.
Terence: No. I'm not leaving until you see some sense. Why do you even believe Adrian? He hasn't spoken the truth once in his life.
Oliver: When he... look, I don't have to explain myself to you!
Terence: **folds his arms in front of his chest** Either you explain yourself to me, or to Marcus. I'm not leaving before you do.
Oliver: :: ignores him and turns to walk off::
Terence: **grabs Oliver's arm** Dammit, Wood, you're a fucking callous bastard, you know that?
Oliver: Let go of me!
Terence: **lets go of Oliver's arm** Why? Why do you believe Adrian over Marcus?
Oliver: Why should I believe any of you?
Terence: **shrugs** Maybe you shouldn't. but if you're going to believe one of us, at least be smart enough not to believe Adrian.
Oliver: And how do I know this isn't all some joke by the three of you? Ha bloody ha, very goddamn funny, screw the Gryffindork around, isn't that right?
Terence: **sighs, exasparated** Look, first of all, like Marcus would get himself turned into a chick just because of a joke? Secondly ... He's fucking falling apart because of you, dammit!
Oliver: How do I know that?
Terence: Go fucking see him, then! Go talk to him!
Oliver: Don't tell me what to do, Higgs!
Terence: You are breaking my best friend, Wood. That gives me the fucking right to tell you what the fuck to do!
Oliver: Fuck off!
Terence: I swear, you are both suck fucking stubborn bastards! You're both fucking miserable, and neither of you will fucking talk!
Oliver: I don't need this! Fuck off!
Terence: Fine. Just be a stubborn bastard, then. **turns around sharply and stomps off**
Marcus: **walks down the hallway, eyes focussed on the ground*
Oliver: :: walking along, flicking through sheets of Quidditch plays::
Marcus: **looks up, seeing Oliver** Oh. Hi.
Oliver: Hi. :: walks on past her::
Marcus: **turning around, towards him** Oliver ...
Oliver: :: waves a hand over his shoulder::
Marcus: Wait!
Oliver: :: stops:: What?
Marcus: **walks up to him, standing right in front of him** Why?
Oliver: Why what?
Marcus: Why'd you break up with me? Why couldn't you even tell me yourself?
Oliver: I fell in love. I shouldn't have. :: shrugs::
Marcus: Right. And that's a perfectly normal and logical reason to just dump me and not even care enough to tell me yourself. **laughs bitterly**
Oliver: Well. Yeah, it is.
Marcus: I did warn you, you know.
Oliver: Yeah. Guess I should have listened.
Marcus: **running her hand through her hair** 's not like I listened to myself, either.
Oliver: Right. :: sighs:: Look. I should have handled it better, but I'm not good at things like this.
Marcus: Yeah. I just ... Why?
Oliver: I talked to Pucey. He told me how things are. :: shrugs:: Just forget it ever happened, Marcus.
Marcus: I can't. What did Adrian tell you?
Oliver: Just reminded me that this is temporary.
Marcus: And that's a reason to end it before I change back?ยต
Oliver: Yeah. Hurts less.
Marcus: For you, maybe.
Oliver: Oh, and not for you?
Marcus: You're not the only one who fell in love, you know. And then you just stopped talking to me, and I had to hear from Weasleythat we'd broken up.
Oliver: You were in love with me?
Marcus: ... Still am.
Oliver: ... I had no idea.
Marcus: **shrugs** Yeah, well. 's too late now, isn't it?
Oliver: :: looking stunned:: Guess so.
Marcus: **looks at Oliver, pleading** Can't we try this again?
Oliver: :: bites his lip and nods::
Marcus: **steps closer to him, hesitantly**
Oliver: :: bites his lip harder and opens his arms::
Marcus: **steps into Oliver's arms, wrapping her own arms around his waist tightly**
Oliver: :: puts his arms around her and just holds her tight::
Marcus: **buries her face against his shoulder** Missed you.
Oliver: :: holds her tighter:: Missed you, too.
Marcus: **softly kisses him**
Oliver: :: kisses her back just as softly::
Marcus: **whispered against his lips** Love you ...
Oliver: :: grins:: I love you, too. :: tightens his arms::
Cedric: :: is sitting at the table normally occupied by Hufflepuffs in the library, poring over his History of Magic text::
Terence: **enters the library, looking around to see there's no other tables free, and plops down across the table from Cedric**
Cedric: :: looks up, surprised:: Well, hello.
Terence: **nods at him, smiling politely** Diggory.
Cedric: :: smiles back:: Higgs, isn't it?
Terence: **nods** That's me. Surprised you know me.
Cedric: Well, you were a very good Seeker, I thought.
Terence: Thanks. "Were" being the operative word, there. **smirks, self-sepriciatingly**
Cedric: :: nods and smiles politely::
Terence: So, um. You hang out with Wood a lot, don't you?
Cedric: Not especially, not any longer. Why?
Terence: Damn. I was hoping maybe you could convince him to stop being a stubborn git.
Cedric: I think that Oliver is a stubborn person.
Terence: Oh, I've met worse.
Cedric: I feel very sorry for you.
Terence: Me? Why?
Cedric: Having met more stubborn people than Oliver.
Terence: **grins** Oh, right. Sorry, I've spent the last few days trying to get Marcus to talk to Wood, or vice versa. I'm a bit braindead at the moment.
Cedric: :: smiles:: That's okay.
Terence: Don't suppose you've any ideas to solve this situation?
Cedric: I'm not entirely sure what the situation is.
Terence: I'm assuming you've noticed Marcus isn't exactly himself these days?
Cedric: Oh. :: smiles:: Well, yes. And Oliver seems to have decided that he's straight.
Terence: Yes, apparently. And Marcus figures he's still straight, but since he's now a chick, his straighness is directed towards blokes. That's pretty much verbatim, by the way. That part alone makes my brain hurt.
Cedric: ... that makes no sense, I think.
Terence: It seems to make sense to them. Anyway, from what I got out of Marcus, I've gathered Adrian talked to Wood, and now Wood won't even talk to Marcus anymore, and had Weasley tell Marcus it -- whatever "it" was -- is over.
Cedric: ... that all sounds ridiculous.
Terence: You know that and I know that, but, as we've established, they're both stubborn gits. I've tried talking to Wood. Didn't help. Tried talking to Marcus, but all he can say is that it's for the best, it would've ended anyway, and then cried on my shoulder and ruined my favourite silk shirt.
Cedric: Well, at least it wasn't cashmiere.
Terence: **looks at Cedric oddly for a moment, then bursts out laughing**
Cedric: :: smiles, proud of himself::
Terence: **still snickering a little** Thanks, I needed a laugh.
Cedric: :: smiles:: That's okay.
Terence: You know, Diggory, you're a pretty decent bloke. **grins**
Cedric: :: grins back at him:: Thank you, Higgs.
And Fleur? I still want to do Ter/Ced. Help?
