harry x astoria it was the first rare pair that came to mind so here we are :)
i have never considered harry with astoria since ron with astoria is one of my favorite rare-pairs but i could do this
so i will do a muggle au cause i enjoy those
i totally would imagine them to be neighbors that were best friends as little kids but then ended up having a falling out of middle school
yes what a typical trope but
i imagine harry being a jock (not an asshole on though) and astoria being pretty artsy and quiet so they just sort of went their own separate ways over some issue they can’t even remember anymore
but harry was always super into astoria so he always tries to get her attention but comes off as a dick once he does so
so astoria sort of hates harry and always ignores them
i imagine one summer night after graduation they are both out on their patios and astoria is painting and harry is looking at the stars
he hears her soft classical music playing over the fence and decides to hop the fence to talk to her
but he makes a fool of himself as he tries to go over it and basically just falls over it
she tries not to laugh but fails as he is bright red and is trying to readjust his glasses and clothing
“what a graceful entrance, potter” is what she said to him without looking up
he can see that she is smirking slightly
he doesn’t say anything as he sits down next to her
then she asks what he is doing there and he said he didn’t want to stargaze alone and asked, “do you remember when we used to do this when we were kids?”
she puts down her paintbrush then to look over at him
she examines his face and sees the peeling sunburn on his nose and how calloused his hands are and she feels old feelings washing all over her again
because he is still the boy next door that she was crazy about as a kid
astoria realized she hadn’t answered him and he turns to face her directly and asks, “why did we even stop being friends, stori? what did i do?”
astoria sighs and tries to ignore her heart fluttering at his old nickname for her
she then replies honestly and said, “i don’t know, i guess it was just easier to hate you than like you and never have you.”
he was really shocked at her words and then he just mumbled, “but i have always really liked you. you have always had me.”
and astoria is so shocked that she can’t move
and then harry leans over and presses his lips against hers again and god she feels like she is eight years old again when she had her first kiss with him
and when he pulls away he grabs her hand and gets up from her old plastic patio chair and says, “let’s go cause some havoc”
and so they did, just like old times
