❝ I SAY WE AGREE TO BE TRAGIC MESSES TOGETHER. ❞

✧˖*°࿐ 💌 a summary!
for the dumpee society

MORGAN SAMUELS WOULD KINDLY REQUEST if we can all just get along. Wouldn't it be lovely to live in a world where we're all nice to each other, thus making the possibility of gut-wrenching heartbreak impossible? She's looking at you, Herbert Fleet.

Because, you see, Herbert, life isn't so pleasant when the thing you love the most is ripped from your grasp, simultaneously stealing your belief that the world is a charming place, as well as the ability to ever feel true happiness again. So let's adjust the frontal lobe of our brains so the decisions we make are less dicky from this point on, shall we?

And yet, if we all did that, it may be correct that life from this point on is an amicable habitation choice, but that doesn't mean we can erase the past. Which is currently what has left Morgan Samuels so down in the dumps, she might as well be in Australia.

Getting dumped didn't seem to Morgan like the worst thing in the entire world until it happened to her. That's probably because she was under the impression that her relationship was so far past perfect that getting dumped was miles off the table. Another reason why Morgan hates being wrong.

It seems that Herbert Fleet didn't see his relationship as picture-perfect as Morgan previously had, which leads us to now ─ he dumped her very sorry arse.

Severely confused, utterly heartbroken, and feeling beyond repair, Morgan has never felt so alone in this world. Three years of love, and tenderness, and being on the receiving end of Herbert's winks right after he had scored a goal for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team (which, now that they are broken up, Morgan can safely say, didn't happen enough) ─ all flushed down the drain. Morgan felt like it was appropriate to compare it to throwing money in the ocean. An unexplainable, completely unreasonable and frankly idiotic thing to do.

Oliver Wood can say the exact same.

Although he hadn't been with Katie Bell for as long as Morgan had been with Herbert, his heart broke in exactly the same way when she dumped him out of the blue right before starting his final year at Hogwarts. It was his first serious relationship and he would say it was going pretty well.

His judge of character is seemingly just as bad as Morgan's.

And when it feels as though the world can't get any darker, Herbert Fleet and Katie Bell are spotted sharing a tankard of Butterbeer on a cosy date in the Three Broomsticks.

Life pretty much comes crashing down for Gryffindors, Morgan and Oliver.

Despite the universe's cruel treatment of both of them, it seems to make up for the pain it caused them, like a silver lining in a time of need ─ the universe allowed their paths to cross. Obviously, in the sickest of ways that physically made Morgan gag and Oliver cry in front of Fred fucking Weasley. But it meant they met, nonetheless.

Feeling rather sorry for themselves, both Morgan and Oliver found it rather strange how they could relate to every single thing the other said. They were living the same nightmare.

And so, they joined forces ─ two pathetically sad losers, crying into their pillows every night because their exes had moved on all too quickly ─ opting to hold each other's hand until the pain passed. And by that, I mean, Morgan and Oliver set themselves the task of finding the perfect blind date for each other. Or rather dates (they did this many times, practically going through the entire student body of the sixth and seventh years at Hogwarts).

Relating to each other's misery, Morgan and Oliver wanted to find the other one a reconciliation for Herbert and Katie. A rebound. A series of attempts to find the perfect temporary replacement until they can find someone to fill that void that had settled in their hearts.

It just took Morgan and Oliver a very long time to realise that they had already filled each other's voids themselves.

things to mention

disclaimers! ✧˖*°࿐ ────── 💌 all original characters and plots belong to jk rowling, the creator of the harry potter franchise. however, i would like to make it clear that i do not support her in any way, nor do i share any of her transphobic beliefs.

i have chosen to not cast anyone specific as oliver, as i would rather it be open to preference. now, i'm sure your preferred oliver is in fact sean biggerstaff (he did contribute to our love for oliver) and although we should be able to separate the character from the actor, i don't feel comfortable officially casting him as my oliver. that being said, feel free to imagine whoever you wish for this story. that may be sean biggerstaff, and that's totally okay!

this fanfic is a part of my very own harry potter universe, called the "curveball cosmos", which includes the following stories, some of which are not published. all of these fics are connected via characters and minor plotlines!
