regret, harry potter (rewriting)

six

The next day, she woke up with a hangover, therefore she decided to skip classes today. She dedicated today to opening presents from her friends.

Aurelia got many presents but what stood out the most was the presents from none other than Harry Potter. He got her two teddy bears that were named Davina and Luca.

She cried for an hour, hugging her dear life to the two dolls. All she wanted to do now is to find Harry and thank him.

As she arrived in the common room, she saw the trio sitting there already, still wearing their uniform. The three of them saw her red and puffy eyes. Harry stood up and looked at her worriedly. She ran to him and hugged him as tightly as she could. She wrapped her arms around his torso and buried her face to his chest.

"Thank you Harry," she mumbled.

He immediately wrapped his arms around her and put one of his hands on the back of her head, caressing her. He could feel his heart beating rapidly and it felt like it's about to jump out of his body.

Aurelia is hugging him. This is something he would never expect to ever happen again but here it is, happening, and Harry couldn't be more thankful.

"You're welcome, Aurelia," he said softly. He knows right away what she's thanking him for, his presents.

She finally pulled out of the hug to Harry's disappointment.

"You're growing on me," she smirked. "I still hate you though."

"Noted," he nodded and chuckled. "Do you want to join us?"

"Sure," she smiled.

She sat in between Harry and Hermione. Aurelia gave the bushy haired girl a warm smile before she sat which was reciprocated right away.

"I heard you want to be a healer," said Hermione to Aurelia.

"Yeah, how about the three of you?"

"I want to work in The Department of Magical Law Enforcement," said Hermione excitedly.

"Well I wanted to be an auror in fifth year but I'm not sure now, after. . . you know," Ron rubbed the back of his neck.

"Me too," Harry added.

"I think I'll just work with George at his joke shop," said Ron.

"Well, I'm still clueless," Harry sighed.

"Aren't you the youngest seeker in the century?" said Aurelia to Harry.

"Er- yeah?"

"You're the best seeker here at Hogwarts, you're the youngest seeker in the century and I know you love and you're very passionate about quidditch, why don't you go professional?" Aurelia suggested.

Suddenly, Harry felt the familiar swooping feeling in his stomach. Does Aurelia really think he's the best seeker at Hogwarts?

"Hello? Are you okay?" she tried to snap Harry out of his daydream by flicking her fingers in front of his face. "Did you even hear what I said?" Aurelia frowned.

"Of course I did, I did, I swear, yes seeker — professional — professional seeker," he rambled, afraid to be on Aurelia's bad side again.

"Calm down Potter," she put her hand on his shoulder which made his stomach do a backflip again.

They both ended up talking for a couple of hours catching up about their lives. Aurelia told them how she met Luca, Davina and Alex; she even told them about how she dated Ernie which for some odd reason, Harry's not a fan of.
