Hermione wears Harry’s quidditch jersey around all the time and Harry just can’t resist 😌

❛ When we are young, we think ourselves the first to have each feeling in the world. ❜ Harry mused before shrugging, "I don't think that's inherently a bad thing."

SMALLVILLE | 05.14 TOMB

That honestly made sense. There were a lot of choices...people who had trouble making decisions might find it difficult. If only there were a button to press that would put on something random.

At the mention of the dinosaur movie, she let out a small snort of laughter. "Ron says it's stupid," she grinned before pressing the button to put it on. "But the music is supposed to be really good, I think. Seems a bit of a mad reason to like a movie, I think."

But she was all for the plot, the character dynamics, all of the things that some people found downright exhausting. If she had more time, she'd spend it reading.

But alas.

She leaned back and took another sip of her drink. "Just don't make fun of me for talkin' during the movie. Ya know I have to dissect it." Which everyone around her thought was annoying, but she couldn't really help herself.

[thechosengryffindor-archive]

"Ron doesn't get it." Harry said with a dismissive shrug before hesitating "Well, I mean I don't think so. Music is..." he shrugged, "Music is important. I don't think anything would be as good if it didn't have music. But maybe I'm mad too- it's hard to tell." His lips twitched with the urge to smirk.

"Oh I know."

Once upon a time it would have annoyed him, but truthfully the conversation around the film they watched centered him- reminded him that he had won and that they were there. "But I'm afraid it is my contractual obligation as your favorite person to make fun of you."

Harry sipped at his own drink and nudged her, "So, oh brilliant one. What are your theories before we get into the movie?"

"Are you alright? I know the castle gets a little cold around this time of year um... I know some heating charms?" Harry asked quietly.

They are so cute together!

Happy Harmony month!

Hermione still had the feeling of embarrassment even after he took hold of her wrist and intertwined their fingers. She looked at him and nodded. "Okay." She said softly. "Well, I'm glad you think I'd be a good teacher when the best teacher I've ever had is sat beside me."

[thechosengryffindor-archive]

Harry looked up at her, snorting. "That can't be true. Hermione you've taken just about every class Hogwarts had to offer! What about Lupin? Or that Runes teacher..." He laughed, "You're incredibly biased but I appreciate it."

[thechosengryffindor-archive]

❝  That would be counterproductive.  ❞ from @tnott

"Yeah well it wouldn't be the first time I've heard that." Harry drawled, shrugging. The so called 'Wizarding Savior' kind of appreciated being counter productive sometimes. "Spent half my life being that way. What's wrong? Scared you might have a little fun for once?" he asked dryly.

@thechosengryffindor   asked: ❛   i   only   wanted   to   help.   ❜

“   yes   ,   i   know   you   did   but   talking   down   on   a   criminal   in   this   city   is   asking   to   be   killed   .   best   to   leave   it   to   the   police   and   professionals   .   i'm   only   a   journalist   but   even   i   know   that   .   we   should   hide   and   let   them   handle   those   men   .   ”

[thechosengryffindor-archive]

"Worse than that have tried." Harry said with a dismissive snort, shaking his head. He knew poking the bear wasn't a good idea, but he'd acted without thinking. Glancing over at the other, "And what if someone gets hurt?" he challenged.

"It's... complicated," grimaced Fish, "I don't control it, the annoyance. I don't really get it, either. It's like I want to be around you, but at the same time you drive me insane. Besides, you're usually just as annoyed as I am." She paused. "You don't hate me, right?"

She turned a little bit pinker. It had been a very good kiss. A really, very good kiss. The kind she read about in books, but had never experienced before Harry. "Me too," she admitted, "I could get used to it. And... I mean. Now that we've done it twice, why stop?"

[thechosengryffindor-archive]

Harry could go the rest of his life without hearing 'its complicated' and be happy, but he also understood where she was coming from- truth was sometimes being in her presence was like an irritation. Even when he had been perfectly happy, which was strange because he had never actually been irritated. "You want to be around me?" Harry asked playfully.

"I don't- hate you I mean. But I have the same thing, it's like I can't help but be irritated around you sometimes..." he shrugged and swallowed, trying to push down a waive of irritation even asd he spoke- why was it up to him to explain himself?

That didn't even make sense.

"Oh." Harry hadn't expected that, and the idea made his cheeks turn red. "I uh, I agree actually.. " he smiled, "But maybe we shouldn't do it here where... someone might walk in?"

AMELIA   FROZE   ,   THE   HALF   FASTENED   collar   resting   against   her   throat   ,   surprised   -   almost   touched   ,   by   the   rare   simplicity   of   truth   he   had   offered   her   .   such   candour   was   a   luxury   seldom   afforded   to   her   .   she   turned   then   ,   just   slightly   ,   letting   the   cool   detachment   drain   from   her   face   .   in   its   wake   lingered   a   refined   smirk   ,   subtle   yet   unmistakably   intimate   .   ❛   so   one   night   in   MY   BED   TURNS   YOU   INTO   A   fountain   of   feeling   .   how   long   ,   i   wonder   ,   have   such   tender   confessions   been   festering   beneath   your   tongue   ,   harry   ?   ❜   it   was   but   a   mild   jest   ,   not   mockery   -   though   with   amelia   ,   such   distinctions   often   blurred   .

[thechosengryffindor-archive]

Harry’s eyes hadn’t left her, but when she turned to look at him with that smirk he turned away- not wanting to deal with that look because he knew he had just confessed something- perhaps something he shouldn’t have confessed but it was out there and he had no way of taking it back.

The young man took a moment to breathe- to ground himself in the here and now. “I am not a fountain of feeling.” he denied vehemently, though the words rang hollow in his ear and he wondered if she was remotely buying it. “I just wanted you to know is all.”

Feeling her fingers on his hand made him turn to look at her- a soft expression in his eye, “Not fond of the topic?” Admittedly that stung- though maybe he was misreading it? He wasn’t sure how else he was supposed to though.

“You think it’s easy for me? To just… admit to caring about people? It’s not. I’ve spent my entire life walled off from everyone but two people. I just- you make me …. sometimes I think it could finally be different with you, but I’m not going to force you.”

[tnott]

Well, that much is obvious, Theo nearly said. But she remembered Draco telling her that Potter had been raised by Muggles, so she decided to be charitable. "You went to Muggle school, didn't you?" she asked. "Do the Muggles not teach their children Latin? That seems like a rather significant omission from the curriculum."

Like any child from a pure-blood family with proper Wizarding pride, Theo had never actually met any Muggles, so the possibility that they might have far less use for Latin in their day-to-day lives than wizards hadn't occurred to her.

[thechosengryffindor-archive]

A look of relief crossed his features when Theo mentioned muggle school- he hadn't really been able to bring it up to anyone else, they had all been so excited for the legendary Harry Potter to be at Hogwarts, none of them seem very interested in who he actually was- it was...overwhelming.

Latin? Latin? Harry ran his thoughts over his lessons, "Not- not in my year.." He finally said, "Although I wasn't really allowed to sign up for anything outside of core classes." That would have meant the Dursleys needed to pay attention to him.

Harry shrugged, "Guess it's another thing I'm behind in."

"Why, don't mind if I do," she replied with an overly high-pitched voice and a poorly done British accent. "Now if I could just get a little castle, I'll be all set." She stretched, glad their conversation had moved away from her current horcruxe-induced state, and onto easier subjects.

She grinned. "You don't like that?" The question was barely needed, it was obvious that Harry didn't like her little nickname for him. Unfortunately, that meant she'd be sure to use it again.

"Yeah, we're gonna kick their butts," hummed Fish, as confident and reckless as ever. She glanced at him, remembering the little Dementor incident, from a few years back. But, showcasing an unusual amount of tact, she made no comment.

[thechosengryffindor-archive]

Harry snorted, "Just a little one? It's nice to see you're modest in at least some aspects of life." The amusement shining in his green eyes was evident- he had to admit it was nice to just, create this little fantasy between them. "What kind of little castle are we talking about here? Like a miniature hogwarts or...?" he trailed off unable to resist the smirk forming across his features.

"I should have never said anything because now you're going to use it- i might have to hex you to get you out of that little habit." Harry said dramatically, smirking to himself, "Oh so much self confidence, what brought that on?" he asked curiously.

[thechosengryffindor-archive]

@tnott from here

Harry snorted, shaking his head- "Well I'm glad for the ringing endorsement." he said dryly before exhaling. "So, how did I earn your trust?"

[tnott]

Theo still had her head turned away in an effort to keep Potter from getting a good look at her face. Merlin, she hated crying in front of other people. She took a moment to get her breathing back under control and then said, "I just don't want to talk about it, all right? Not with you. Not with anyone."

[thechosengryffindor-archive]

Harry didn't say anything, instead he just stared- trying to think of something even remotely clever to say. But as usual he had no idea how to handle someone who was being overly emotional. "Alright." Grabbing a chair he pulled it up to where he'd been standing, sitting down just far away enough from her he could pretend she wasn't crying. "But I'm not leaving either."
