Looking For A Boyfriend | Drarry

Harry and Hermione are peacefully minding their own business inside the Gryffindor common room.

Only two of them were in sight upon Ron going somewhere only Hermione knows of.

Harry was sulking and burying himself in the red leather sofa beside Hermione's.

The girl paid him no mind and simply just read her book in full concentration.

Harry groaned in anticipation and started thrashing his legs like a stubborn child.

Hermione at first, ignored him unwillingly but as Harry got louder and eventually became annoying, she snapped.

She shut her book out of pure irritation, "What is it, Harry!" She exclaimed, turning to look at Harry with creased brows and a displeased expression.

"I want a boyfriend!" Harry replied, crossing his arms and pouting,

Hermione groaned and rolled her eyes, she has had enough of Harry's constant whining about wanting a boyfriend, only he couldn't get one because of how awkward he is with guys and rumours will spread like wildfire.

"God, Harry! Just shut your trap. You won't get a boyfriend anytime soon if you don't act up!" She said truthfully making Harry whine, that got into her nerves but didn't show it.

"But, 'Mione! I don't want to make the first move!"

That, another problem of why Harry Potter couldn't get a boyfriend. He wanted them to make the first move other than him to not be seemingly desperate, but in truth he is desperate.

"And, if I did, I would sound like a desperate bitch! I don't want that impression of me─" He was cut off by Hermione, slamming the book on the table in front of them.

"Oh, Harry, we talked about this for like millions of times already! You're already desperate, you won't get yourself anywhere if you keep whining about this. Even Ron risked looking desperate just to ask his crush out! And now here he is, in a relationship─"

Right after those words left her mouth, she cut herself, deter from blurting out more about Ron and stared at Harry, whose eyes wide in anticipation and lips parted slightly.

"I shouldn't have said that," Hermione mumbled, and started humming, acting like nothing had just happened and tore her gaze away from Harry.

Please, don't ask anything, please don't ask anything! Were the only thoughts echoed inside of that head of hers while she hummed nonchalantly. She knew it was too soon to trust herself.

"Ron has a boyfriend!?" Harry exclaimed and Hermione huffed, she knew this was coming.

"And he didn't tell me anything! Is that the reason why he's not here right now?"

Hermione forcefully nodded and met gazes with Harry again.

"Why did he only tell you?!" Harry scoffed and looked dead straight into Hermione's eyes, expecting an intimate answer.

Hermione swallowed, she didn't want to deal with Harry like this, so she'd reply with the only answer there is.

"Because, He didn't want you to get jealous, given by your situation─"

"Oh, I am jealous! I've never been so jealous before! That's bullshit!" Harry bit back.

Hermione sighed, "He only did it because, Harry, he knows how desperate you are and─"

"Oh, shut up, Hermione!" He stood up from his seat, "I'm going to show him that I could also get a boyfriend without looking desperate!" He exclaimed and stormed out of the common room with a determined look on his face.
