Erin walked through the train, trying to find her little brother. She had searched for him all morning, but he was clearly avoiding her. At these times she really wished they were sorted into the same house.

She found him all the way in the back of the train, in a compartment with Seamus and Dean. Erin was really happy she had learned their names through Fred and George. She gently opened the compartment and Benjamin immediately looked annoyed.

"Uh- Seamus, Dean, uh- Harry wanted to see you two", she said awkwardly. She was pretty sure they didn't believe her apparent lie, but they simply shrugged and left the compartment. Benjamin crossed his arms and stared out of the window. Erin sat down besides him and tried to find the right words.

"Look, Benji, I'm not going to come up with any excuses for why I haven't spent as much time as I should have with you, because I don't have any. I was so focused on myself that I forgot that you have troubles too sometimes. I just want you to know that I'm really, really sorry. I do care about you, a lot, I'm just not so good at showing it."

Benjamin glanced in her direction, but still didn't say anything.

"Come on, Benji, please forgive your big sister", she smiled and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pulling him into a side-hug.

"No, don't touch me", Benjamin complained, trying to push her away, but she didn't let go.

"No, come on, hug me back little bro", she said, ignoring his protests. "I'm not letting go before I get a hug."

"Erin, let go!" Benjamin shouted, but Erin could hear in his voice that he was slowly giving in.

"Nope, not happening!" It took her a while, but eventually Benjamin stopped trying and let his sister hug him.

"I'm still mad at you", he said, a small smile tugging on his lips.

"Hmm, I think I know something that could cheer you up." Benjamin looked at her suspiciously, his interest clearly peaked.

"What if I could get you a meet and greet with the Puddlemere United quidditch team?" she wiggled her eyebrows. She hadn't asked Oliver that, but he'd be able to fix something.

"Really?" Benji asked suspiciously. "Even Benjy Williams?"

"Even Benjy Williams", Erin grinned. She was quite looking forward to Oliver's match. She couldn't wait to see Benjy again.

"Okay, I guess I could forgive you then", he smiled. Erin had technically bribed him, but she did mean well.

"I promise I'll be a better sister, okay?" She stood up as she noticed Seamus and Dean who had returned.

"Sorry for that, boys", she grinned before going back to her own compartment.

The rest of the ride went by excruciatingly slow as Erin counted down the seconds until she'd see Oliver again. Now her George worries were out of her head, she couldn't wait to see him again. For a split second she thought of the possibility of him not showing up, but she knew he would never do that. If he did, she'd avada kedavra him right away.

But he did show. The moment the train rolled into the station, she spotted him first in line, checking the windows for her face. He couldn't see her from where she was standing, but just him being there made Erin the happiest girl in the world. It had been just two weeks, but she had missed him so badly.

"Go get your man. Happy Christmas", Beatrice said with a grin. Meredith was waiting for her as well.

"Happy Christmas B, be on the look-out for my gift", she grinned and hugged her best friend. Although Christmas was technically yesterday, they had a tradition of sending each other a gift over the holidays, even though they saw each other every other day of the year. Erin made a mental note to go to the city to get her something nice.

She followed the stream of students out. As soon as her feet touched the platform, she made a run for it. She ran towards Oliver and jumped into his arms.

"Ho there", Oliver laughed as he hadn't seen her yet. He was barely able to catch her and had trouble keeping his balance, but he was so happy to see her.

"Hello Captain", Erin grinned as she pulled away, putting her feet back onto the ground.

"Hello love", he smirked before pulling her into a kiss. Erin smiled brightly as his lips touched hers softly. He was here and he was hers. He'd forever be hers.

"Wait, sister duties", Erin said as she pulled away, scanning the platform. She was going to pay more attention to Benjamin, starting now. Since her mother was always a bit late, she'd take care of him.

"Oi, Benji!" she shouted as she noticed him step off the train. He smiled and walked over to them.

"Hi, Oliver", he said awkwardly, putting his bag down. Erin was really happy that he'd gotten rid of the habit of calling Oliver "captain". At school, that was pretty much the only thing he had called him, so it took him a while to adjust to "Oliver". Erin was really happy he did, though, as hearing her little brother use the same nickname as she used weirded her out immensely.

"Hi, little man", Oliver grinned. "I've got something for you." Oliver got an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to the confused Benjamin. He opened it and got out three tickets to the Puddlemere United game.

"VIP booth?" Benjamin said, eyes wide. It still hadn't sunk in that his future brother-in-law was playing on that team.

"Yep, this Saturday", Oliver grinned.

"Thank you", Erin said, looking up at Oliver.

"Everything for my favourite Hufflepuff", he smiled, pulling her closer by her waist and pressing a kiss on her head.

"There you guys are!" her mother appeared from the crowd.

"I missed you!" She said and pulled her two children and Oliver into a hug. She really liked Oliver, luckily, so he was pretty much part of the family. Erin decided not to tell her about the little hiccup they had. It was over anyway.

"Good to see you, mum."

"Look, mum, look what Oliver gave me! We can go to another Puddlemere United game, just like last year!" Benji said, showing his mum the tickets. It warmed Erin's heart to see him so happy. She gently squeezed Oliver's arm as she leaned against him gratefully.

"Thank you, Oliver, that's so kind of you", her mum said, taking her wand.

"Come on, I'll take Benjamin. Let's go home", she said. Erin did the same and grabbed Oliver's hand tightly. She swished her wand and off they went.

Benjamin went to unpack his stuff, so Erin took that moment to spend some alone time with her boyfriend.

"I'll be down in half an hour to help with supper!" she shouted at her mother before she dragged him up the stairs.

"Half an hour, huh", Oliver smirked as Erin had shut the door. "There's a lot we can do in half an hour."

Erin blushed furiously as the words left his mouth. Oliver usually wasn't so straightforward. She couldn't say she minded.

He kissed her slowly and then picked her up and placed her on her dresser.

"You're so tiny" he grinned as he held her waist tightly, trailing kisses down her neck.

"No, you're just a six foot giant", she mumbled, biting her lip. Her hands traveled to his hair, pulling it slightly as he made his way to her collarbone.

"Don't, my mum's going to see that", she said as Oliver gently sucked on her skin. She suddenly felt very, very hot.

"So?" Oliver smirked, claiming her lips again. Erin really, really liked Oliver's newfound confidence.

"Since when did you get so handsy?" Erin chuckled as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You want me to stop?" Oliver raised his eyebrows, still smiling at her.

"No, definitely not", she whispered, kissing him again. She pulled off her sweater, dropping it carelessly on the ground. She was still wearing a shirt, but she had the urge to take that off as well. Oliver always left the room as she changed, so Erin realised he had never seen her without a shirt on. She had body insecurities like pretty much every girl in the world, but this was Oliver. She knew Oliver thought she was pretty and that was all she needed.

She grabbed the hem of her shirt and slowly pulled it over her head. Oliver couldn't help but glance at body. He thought she was absolutely perfect.

"You're so beautiful", he whispered, looking into her eyes again. Erin melted at his words, smiling shyly.

"I think that should go as well", she whispered, tugging on Oliver's shirt. He grinned and pulled it off, revealing his defined abs. Another four months of quidditch practice had definitely left its mark. Oliver had acquired some serious muscle.

"Bloody hell you're hot", Erin whispered before pulling him close again. The feeling of her bare skin on his sent chills down her spine. It made her long for more. His hands traveled up her waist resting on the edge of her bra.

"Erin?! Mum asks if you want to run down to the story quickly", Benjamin yelled at her door, making her jump.

"Uh, yeah ... right- right there!" she mumbled, quickly grabbing her shirt.

"I guess we should continue this another time", Oliver smirked amused, giving her room to change.

"Right", Erin mumbled out of breath. Her face was bright red and her hair was a mess. This boy did all kinds of things to her insides.
