"I want to try this. I want to be with you."

"Alright, today is the last day of your suspension y/n, are you ready?"

"Honestly, it's just little pieces of extra work that we didn't finish, I'm ready Harry." I sat on the cold floor of the astronomy tower for the 5th day in a row. Normally, I did my work by myself in my dorm, then went to dark arts with Harry. But, every night around 10 Harry and I would sneak up here to work on the pieces I didn't understand. And if there was nothing we'd just watch the stars. Harry was smart, really he was. I felt so grateful that I had him this week, if I hadn't I'd probably have failed all these assignments. We snuck around because I knew Malfoy would kill me, I'd avoided him this week as well. I needed to focus on my studies, and on Pansy. She's been acting different this whole week. My schedule kept me in my room, except around 9:45 pm, when I'd start heading up to the astronomy tower. Fortunately, that prohibited me from interacting with Astoria.

"Brilliant! What's left?" He sat across from me, leaning in towards me he snatched one of the books that I'd set down.

"One page, for charms class, there. Page 71. I can't seem to figure that one out." I gently took the book from his hands and flipped it right side up. "Illegibilus, to make a text unreadable." I read aloud.

"Let me have a look." He flipped himself around and scooted next to me, so we were facing the same way. He leaned his head closer to mine while he fixed his glasses and moved his index finger gently across the page of my book, tracing the sentences of the distressed pages. He came so close I sort of lost my focus, I kept my head still but moved my eyes over to him. He was a pretty boy. His big green eyes focused on the pages, moving from left to right as he read. His lips slightly moving, pronouncing the charm over and over again.

"What? Have I got something on my face?" He moved his head away and wiped his cheek, checking his hand after to see if anything had rubbed off.

"What? No, sorry. You were just so focused, it was cute." I paused and automatically smiled towards him. He looked at me with a happy, yet confused look.

"Cute?" He asked.

"Cute...? What? No I meant- funny. Funny, not cute." Embarrassed I looked away and put one hand on my forehead.

"It's fine." I turned around and he was smirking at me.

"Why are you making that face?" I laughed.

"Nothing. You just think I'm cute." He swirled his tongue in his mouth while smiling.

"Harry! I meant funny! Honestly!"

"I bet you did." He blushed and looked down, I reached over and lightly smacked him with a roll of parchment.

"I did!" I smiled.

"So we're ending this just how we started?" He laughed.

"What?"

"With you attacking me with parchment?" He grabbed a roll to protect himself with as I went to hit him again. I picked up another roll and tried to stab him in the stomach with it. Using his right hand he grabbed my wrist before I could stab him and he raised his eyebrows at me. I paused.

"I have two hands Harry!" I smirked and went to use my right free hand to hit him. Dropping his parchment he used his other hand to grab my right wrist.

"Me too." He smiled. I shook my head and tried to pull my hands away.

"Harry!" I laughed and pulled. He just smirked at me, tightening his grip. "Harry!" I giggled, "Gross, that laugh was gross, sorry!" I smiled and shoved my head into my arm.
