No, this time she'll notice, she has to? It's- it would be the seventh time in a minute, but I just- one more, I shake my head, merlin's beard Harry, i mutter to myself as I turn my head to look at the girl walking beside me and I really don't know if it's just her but it's so mesmerizing, the way her hair keeps falling on the side of her face and the way she keeps tucking it back.
Suddenly, Hermione says something and she laughs at it, her head tipping back and- oh, she's looking at me, did she notice me looking at her? I- 'Harry, is there...' she says my name in that sweet tone of hers and the rest of the sentence is inaudible to me, 'Huh?' i mutter out, 'Is there something on my face, Harry?' 'No- nothing, nothing at all' and just like that, she goes back to talking with Hermione.
I know that she doesn't feel the same way as I do, blimey, she might never feel the same way I do, but I get so easily fooled by these moments that we share, that sometimes, I forget that I'm just her friend. Sometimes, I forget that i shouldn't say what I feel towards her, or she'll- no, I'll lose her. Sometimes, I forget that I can't live being fooled by these moments. It's ruining me and I know I'll let it ruin me- 'You.. are so down bad for her, harry potter' ron whispers in my ear.
And I won't deny it, because that is the truth, I am down bad for her, I do fancy her, i do get nervous around her and I do love her and I really do and yet I'm standing beside her like nothing is happening, like I'm not getting impatient day by day.
Nighttime! Boys dormitory
'You can't keep doing this, you need to tell her, indirectly or directly, give her a letter or say it to her, just something Harry! Something! Why won't you say anything to her?' ron whisper-shouts at me, 'And then she stops talking to me. Ron, it's- she- have you ever seen her look at me... you know, like the way I look at her, does she look at me like that? Get nervous around me? and besides, I'll lose her, it's never going to be the same' i say.
'Just say that we can still be friends?' I groan at that, 'Ron-' 'Harry, we need to do- no, you need to do something about this, so try to make her blush with your charm, harry, that'll work!' i frown at that.
'what?! My charm? I- you can't be serious right now' 'I am serious, I mean, half of the girls fancy you-' 'Well she's not one of those girls, isn't she?..' I argue, turning to the other side to sleep.
Your Pov (nighttime! Girls dormitory)
'He was looking and glancing at you!! Why won't you believe it!!' Hermione groans at me while she plops on the bed, 'Speak slowly, someone might hear us! And.. I just... I feel scared..I don't know why-' 'So you'd rather hide the fact that you fancy him than tell him?'
'Yes, Hermione, I'd rather not tell him that I fancy him than telling him and then being awkward with him all the time!' 'ughhhhhh!! You'll lose the chance!' I sit down beside Hermione, 'But I don't wanna lose him too..' she glances at me, 'Oh, you hopeless romantic...' she murmurs.
Next morning! In the corridors
'where's harry?' ron asks Hermione while she tries to find (reader) in the corridors, 'I don't know, I'm trying to find (reader)' she says as he clears his throat, '..speaking of which...' ron murmurs, making hermoine turn around to face him, '..does (reader) have feelings for harry?' 'And, why would I tell you that?' Hermione says, 'Be-because you're her friend?' ron squeaks out.
'well..' Hermione stutters, '..does harry have any feelings for her?' 'and why would I tell you that?' 'ok, then don't, I'll ask him myself!' she says, crossing her arms, 'and- and I'll ask (reader)!' ron says as they both turn away from each other.
Meanwhile! You & Harry!!!!
'Harry! Here!' you shout as he runs to you with books in his arms, 'Hey..umm, did you see Hermione and ron? I'm trying to find them' he asks you while huffing, 'Yeah, ron said that he wants to ask me something and he said to meet him in the gryffindor common room'
'Oh... alright, thanks for telling me...i should, uhh, be going' 'yeah, see you' you murmur as you watch him go ahead when you suddenly remember, 'Harry! Uh, Hermione said she wanted to meet you at the corridor so..I thought we'd go..together?'
'Oh, yea, sure' he says as you both make your way to the corridor, 'Do you umm know what they wanna ask you about?' 'No, I guess it's something serious since they want to ask us alone' you say, as you look at him, 'Yeah, probably.. Wait, (reader), your ears.. they're, blimey, they're really red..' harry points out as his arms move swiftly to take off his scarf.
'Oh, it's just the col-..' you stop as you feel Harry's fingertips touching you while he wraps his scarf around your neck, '... just the cold..' you murmur while goosebumps rise on your neck. Shit! My ears are just getting even more redder!! You think to yourself as your hands each up to touch the scarf, 'thankyou, har-'
'Merlin's beard, harry, there you are! I told you to meet me at the staircase, didn't I? Where were you?' hermoine shouts from afar, catching both of yours attention, 'I was just coming!' 'Well, too bad, I'm here now' she says as she looks at you, 'Ron's waiting for y-' 'yeah, right, uhh, totally' you speak hurriedly as you make your way towards the gryffindor common room.
You open the door, finding ron standing inside, 'ron, you called me?' 'yeah, well, i want-' 'to ask me something?..' you interrupt, '..yeah, go on' 'so, umm, just wondering of course, nothing serious, obviously-' 'ron' 'ok, do you, by any chance, have a crush on harry? Or maybe, feelings for him-' he blabbers.
'Me?! No- no no- what?! Uh- umm.. no?' 'okay, so Hermione is gonna beat me up if I don't get a correct answer, sooo, just for confirmation, you're saying 'no', right? Not the question 'no?' right?' ron asks, followed by an awkward silence between you both.
'This is what you both are up to?' you ask, your ears heating up again as ron mutters, 'Hermione's really gonna kill me..' while you turn around to quickly get out of the room, bumping right into harry as you both share awkward glances.
Your hand goes back to the doorknob to open it for harry but your eyes snap back as both yours and Harry's hands collide. You both mutter incoherent sorry's as you quickly get out of his way, going to where you will probably find hermoine.
you see Hermione running to you, '(Reader)! Wanna go to our next clas-' 'I know what you asked harry' you mutter, 'I am actually going to kill ron' 'Hermione! This isn't about killing ron or anything, now harry has gone to ron and ron's probably going to tell harry what I said and then there is going to be a very very awkward thing between us and-' your blabbering gets interrupted by hermoine.
'okay, okay, you're right but there are alot of probably's in there and how do you know that he doesn't like you back?' your eyes widen at the few last words that Hermione says, 'i mean- look at it! You're wearing his scarf' she says, and, totally absent mindly, your hand flies to his scarf wrapped around your neck as you play with its fabric.
'Yeah, but it doesn't help my red ears..' you mutter. 'what?' 'oh, nothing!' you say, 'You're not angry at me, right?..' hermoine asks you, coming to your side, 'no, silly, i'm not!' you laugh, 'okay, so, harry told me that he'd be at the library after he apparently had a talk with ron, so, you know what to do! The Yule Ball is coming up anyways...' she says, turning around as she makes her way to the gryffindor common room, 'What?..' you mutter as you contemplate whether to go to the library or follow hermoine, yeah there's really no other option I guess..
You take a deep breath as you find yourself in front of the library, stepping inside it as your eyes search for harry. Walking to the bookshelf where he is, you pick up a book from there.
'What are you doing here?' harry asks you as he notices you, 'Why? Can't I just take out a book? Also, you didn't seem to mind that girl who just took a book, she was right beside you' you say as harry subtly smiles at you paying so much attention to him.
'Anyways..' you clear your throat, 'i came to give this back to you' you speak, your hand taking the scarf off your neck as you forward it to him, 'thanks' he takes the scarf from your hands as you turn around. You stop as you turn back, 'Just to be sure... You do know that my ears were red because I was blushing at you and not because of the cold- it was an excuse anyways... You knew that right?' you ask him, though you can't even hear your own voice due to the blood pumping in your ears.
'You just gotta be really light about it, no speech or nothing.. just a small confession, y'know? I mean, he's already down bad for you, soo...' That's what Hermione said, and you did it, exactly, but oh god were you soo soo nervous about it and re-thinking every word you've said.
you snap back from your thoughts as harry says, 'no, i didn't know that...' he says, stepping closer to you. God, you must be imagining it... Right? 'But I'm really glad i do' you smile as a giggle escapes your mouth.
But inside, you're combusting and you really wanna just jump onto him and hug him and wanna kiss him but merlin, it's the freaking library! And anyways, there are 2 gremlins watching you both right now, that you're sure of, 'Meet me in the corridors' you say to him as you walk out of the library.
Harry corners you to the wall, his hand interlocking with you as he kisses you, 'Smart move calling me here, but how did you know that Hermione and ron were watching us in the library?' he says as your hands reach up to caress his cheek, 'i saw her going to the gryffindor common room even when she said that she was going to the next class' 'But how did they get that invisible cloak of mine?-' 'Enough questions for now, harry, save some for later' you giggle as you kiss him again while he pulls you flush against him.
