A/N: debuting my hp phase 👀👀
You sat on the common room floor, the coffee table in front of you was filled with you and Hermione’s notes. The fire was crackling in the background mixed with Hermione’s humming.
You were supposed to be studying for DADA’s test that was just in a few hours but your mind kept drifting to a certain boy you’ve been pining for years.
How could you not? He had these beautiful eyes that made you lose thought. He was extremely clueless but incredibly intelligent at the same time. His hair stuck up in random places, especially the one in the back, but you thought it was cute how he could never seem to get his hair to look neat.
The only problem was that all the girls liked Harry, you couldn’t blame them though.
“Thinking about Harry again?” Hermione teased you as she smirked, her quill gliding across the parchment.
Hermione was your best friend ever since the first year and throughout in your friendship she somehow knew exactly what you were thinking about. Which 9/10 times was Harry.
“Yeah,” You chuckled and went back to your notes, “ I can’t help it, I really want him.”
Both you and Hermione’s head snapped to the voice just to see Ron Weasley.
Ron knew you liked Harry, Hermione accidentally told him, but apparently he already knew. He could tell by the way you looked at him. Ron said your glaze always landed on Harry; and if you were place in a room full of people you would look for Harry first.
“Take a wild guess ginger, obviously my husband.” You waved him off, “Men.”
“You don’t seem to mind when Harry ask a dumb question.”
Ron walked over to you guys and sat between you and Hermione, obviously leaning closer to the brunette.
“You know, he does like you. Like more than a friend. He just doesn’t know that he does.” Ron said glancing at whatever Hermione was writing.
Your head snapped to Ron so fast you felt it crack, your hair whipped the air. Harry Potter likes you? Harry likes you?
“Tell me you’re joking.” You looked at him with a deadpan expression. Ron nodded his head no and you jumped up from the ground.
“I have to go do something.”
The first time you tried to get Harry to asked you out was at breakfast. He sat next you, and started filling his plate with food.
“You ready for that test—“
“I can’t believe I have nothing to do on Wednesday, it’s like my whole day is free.” You heard Hermione and Ron laugh at you, knowing exactly what you’re trying to do but you blocked them out, only focusing on the boy beside you.
Harry nodded at your words, “That’s great, that means you can have alone time.”
Your eyes twitched a bit at Harry’s word. You would think if he was “The Chosen One” God would have chosen one more brain cell.
“So are you just having alone time on Wednesday.” You already knew the answer, you memorized his schedule and you both just so happened to be free on the coming up Wednesday.
“No, I’m studying with Cho.” Harry responded, shoving food in his mouth.
“Yeah, she offered to tutor me. She’s in Ravenclaw so she’s super smart.”
I could’ve tutored you, you thought but you pushed it aside. It was just tutoring, right?
“Don’t you have to go hangout with Theodore or Matteo like you always do?” Harry followed, giving you a glance.
“Oh, I guess I could hangout with them.” You mumbled, your attention going back to your food and not hearing Harry mutter, “Typical.”
This time your plan was gonna work, you knew it. You were gonna ask instead waiting for Harry to confess and say it.
You made your way to the library because that’s where Harry and Cho were studying at.
Your head was held up high and you had pep in your step. you were very sure everything was gonna come to plan.
You walked into the library making your way to the back since you didn’t see them in the front. You spotted them in corner sitting awfully close together, but that wasn’t a problem. It was totally normal.
You walked closer to them to get a better view of them ….
No, no. this wasn’t happening. This was just a dream— a nightmare.
You felt tears pooling your eyesight. You felt a ball in your throat, the feel you knew grew familiar with whenever you saw Harry with another girl. Your hands shook and you can barely even see with the tears blocking your vision.
Harry broke the kiss that seemed like it went on for hours, and he saw you standing there.
You didn’t hear the rest of his sentence as you turned and walked away. When you heard him following you, calling your name you speed up and started running.
Harry found you sitting under a tree in the courtyard. Your eyes were still red and puffy from crying but Harry still thought you were beautiful. Harry sat down next to you, not saying a word.
The two of you sat in comfortable silence before you spoke up.
“Why Cho?” Your voice cracked a bit from not talking for so long. You cleared your throat, “Why Cho out of all the girl you could’ve had.”
Harry sat in silence after you asked that question, thinking what was the most honest answer. What the answer even was.
Because you were right, Harry could’ve chosen any girl, he could’ve chosen you, but he chose Cho.
“I don’t know.” He admitted, looking at the ground. “Make you jealous, I guess.”
You look at him, you saw how focused in thought he was. “Make me jealous?”
“Yeah. I mean you’re always hanging out with Theodore and Matteo and it just made me go crazy whenever you did. I mean they’re so much cooler than me so I understood why you hanged out with them so much but sometimes I just wanted to be with you,” Harry made eye contact with you, “so I got Cho to hangout with me so I could get you out of my head, but it never worked.”
Harry paused for second, “When I was kissing Cho, the only person I could think of was you.”
You felt your heart skip a beat when he confessed his feelings. You never knew you had Harry go crazy over you.
“Whenever I’m with Theodore or Matteo I never as much fun as I do with you. I have to put this fake imagine on whenever I’m near them, I don’t have to do that with you. I can be my true self when I’m around you.”
“Why do you hangout with them then?”
You smiled, “To get you off my mind, but my plan never worked either.”
Harry grinned and chuckled, “Who knew all we had to—“
You cut him off with a kiss. You put your hand on my cheek and brought his face closer to yours.
Harry was caught off guard and stiffened up as soon as he felt your lips on his but quickly got the hang of it.
The two of you kissed for a protracted amount of time before finally breaking the kiss.
Harry rested his forehead on yours, heavily breathing, “You aren’t imagining that i’m Theodore or Matteo are you?”
You laughed and wrapped your arms around his neck, “Of course not, you aren’t imagining that I’m Cho are you?”
Harry grinned and shook his head, “No. Never.”
