disclaimer: i barely know how quidditch works no matter how many times i've watched the movies so please for give me if any of this is wrong.
The gryffindor quidditch team sat at a table chanting and cheering the same phrases over and over again, basically drowning out every other conversation going on at seperate tables, all except for y/n wood, oliver woods younger sister who took over the keeper position after he left. She sat at the furthest end of the table with Angelina and Ginny gossiping about boys or professors that got on their nerves that day.
She couldn't help but stare at Harry Potter at times, it was embarrassing when one of the girls caught her but she couldn't help herself.. he was just so funny and his smile lit up the room, his eyes were the most beautiful shade of green she'd ever seen. Everytime she heard him laugh or giggle butterflies would erupt in her stomach making her cheeks burn a bright pink color.
Not to mention how great his quidditch jumper and uniform looked on him, it fit so perfectly. Ginny and Angelina often teased her about her crush on the infamous Harry Potter, they did it so much he had almost found out but she'd quickly shut them up with a threat or a glare. Harry Never really noticed her nor did he ever make conversation with her, so she knew her chances with him were pretty slim and knowing he and Cho Chang kissed in 5th year made her chances even slimmer.
Her friends had pushed her to tell him about her feelings but she always refused, it was the same excuse each time
"he's probably into Cho theres no point in confessing, i'll only get rejected and embarrassed."
She used it so much everyone would roll their eyes at her everytime that sentence came out of her mouth. She only could fantasize about marrying him and becoming y/n potter.. she knew it would never happen but these fantasies held some confidence and hope. He never caught her staring until today when Ginny got his attention without y/n noticing, he locked eyes with her and she didn't even notice until a few moments after causing her to gasp and look away very quickly.
Ginny and Angelina were giggling they had seen the whole interaction, "i think Potter caught you staring at him.." Angelina teased making Y/N slap her arm "shut up angie.." she hissed glancing over his way once more to still find him looking at her. He smiled at her and looked away, butterflies erupted in her stomach making the blush she had before become even more noticeable. She was caught up in the thought of Harry catching her staring at him and how he probably reacted that when they called the players out to the field she never noticed, until Fred threw her over his shoulder.
She gasped and squealed kind of loudly making the Twins giggle, "Fred put me down." she groaned "maybe if you weren't so into Potter we wouldn't have to carry you out here." George teased earning a threatening glare from the girl. Once they got to the field he placed her down on the ground and walked away going to find Ginny and bother her, y/n replaced her jumper with her uniform and strapped a helmet over her head, pulling on some gloves and grabbing her broom.
She whispered some motivational sayings to herself and took a couple deep breaths, "you'll do fine just don't fuck up.." she muttered over and over again until a very familiar someone interrupted her. "you'll do great.." the voice said making her jump and turn around calming down a bit after she realized it was Harry.
Oh my god its Harry..!
She awkwardly smiled and nodded "thanks, you will too!" she said trying not to seem rude. Harry smiled back at her and walked away and thats when the announcer started calling out the teams. First Hufflepuff came out then Gryffindor, everyone flew out with a lot of confidence and brave smirks waving at their fellow mates in the stands who were cheering them on. Everyone flew to their places and paitently waited for the snitch and quaffle to be relased, silently reassuring themselfs victory while they waited.
Then it happened, the quaffle and snitch were relased and the game had started. y/n waited at the hoops keeping a watch on all sides to make sure no quaffle got past her and when she finally saw the quaffle headed her way she hit it back with her broomstick, far enough for one of the gryffindor chasers to get it. After they had scored enough points the seekers were finally able to go after that small golden ball, also known as the snitch, which would determine either teams victory.
Harry rushed by chasing after it while Summerby, the hufflepuff seeker, tailed behind him also going for the ball. Teamates and fellow peers chanted their names, until finally..
"GRYFFINDOR WINS!"
Lee Jordan shouted into the loud speaker making loud chants explode from both teamates and students in the stand. Everyone was clapping and screaming as the teams made their way back into the locker rooms instantly warming back up after being in the frigid air for so long. Long screams of "wooo" and "great job Harry!" kept coming as everyone took their uniforms off and bandaged themselfs up if they had any bruises or small cuts.
Everyone had made their way out of the locker rooms except for Harry and y/n, they had stayed late to shower and clean up any scraps from the others. The two of them minding their business not bothering eachother until y/n had turned around to leave but bumped into Harry. "im so sorry!" she immediately apologized and backed away, Harry chuckled and picked up the stuff he was previously holding "don't worry, you're fine." he assured her with a comforting smile making y/n unknowingly smile back and blush.
Harry had noticed and laughed some more but she didn't understand why until she had felt her cheeks heating up, her eyes widened and she looked at the ground. "you know.. everyones been telling me you've had this crush on me since 3rd year but.." he paused and bit his lip, "i never believed them." he continued making y/n suddenly look up at him. She was in shock, harry had known all about her crush on him and he never said a damn word to her about it, not even asking her if the rumors were true.
"why not?" she asked and it felt like she had no control over what she was saying. The boy standing infront of her shrugged "you're smart, pretty, and well known. I thought you'd date someone like Draco or Fred, seeing how close you two are and everything." he admitted making y/n giggle. She shook her head "me and Fred have known eachother since we were small kids, we've always been close but no attraction to one another." she said softly.
Harry nodded but raised an eyebrow and looked at her again, this time locking eye contact, "why have you never told me about liking me..?" he asked making her heart start beating fast. "you kissed cho.. plus you're Mr. Harry Potter, every girl wants you." she looked down at the ground once more and nervously spun her toe into the dirt. Harry walked closer to her and placed his hands on her cheeks, lifting her head up "that was a one time thing, i'd rather.." he paused in the middle of his sentence and looked as if he was rethinking about what he was gonna say.
It wasn't long before a pair of lips attached to y/n's, she instantly kissed back and melted to the touch. The kiss was slow and passionate, and his lips were chapped from the cold air but she didn't mind.. Harry Potter was kissing her and thats all she cared about. After he pulled away for oxygen y/n was left looking dumbfounded, in total disbelief that he had just kissed her out of all people. Harry couldn't help but laugh at her and kiss her again but this time quicker, and when he pulled away all y/n could say was
"holy shit.."
Her blank stare sooned turned into a small crooked smile as she realized more and more that her chances with him were way bigger than she thought. "please don't let that be a dare please don't let that be a dare.." she begged repeatedly making Harry roll his eyes and kiss her again, "no you dummy, its not a dare. I've truly been in love with you since you arrived 1st year" he confessed making all the weight on his chest disappear.
The small girl looked up at him and bit her lip in excitement, "oh believe me.. i've wanted you to kiss me so bad.." she laughed and hugged Harry. The raven haired male kissed her cheek, "so.. is this a yes to being my girlfriend?" he asked.
"you bet your ass it is Potter."
