Harry Potter One shorts

catching harrys eye

The day before the second task, I had always had a crush on harry but never seemed to catch his eye, like he was always nice and would have a light conversion but never really friends id say.  but everything change during the tri wizard competition, everyone knew he liked cho but since the yule ball, she started dating Cedric. 

while in the library I heard the trio talk about the task, I included mermaids and the black lake. feeling this sudden confidence I decided to offer to help after all 4 pairs of eyes are better than 3. 

"Hey guys, do you guys need any help ?" I asked sincerely.  Ron and Harry looked sceptical but Hermoine spoke up 

"oh hi, Y/N" she looked at the boy, Hermoine and I usually study together "we were just looking for anything on the black lake or merpeople . . . do you know anything?" 

"no not off the top of my head but I can help yous look," I said with a small smile 

we all started looking I was having light-hearted conversions with the guys and Ron and Hermione kept bickering with each other. 

" so how you feeling about the next task" "I mean of course you're going to do great," I asked him

"erm you really think so " he looked shocked 

"well of course you're harry potter if you cant then what 14-year-old can" I had noticed how humble he was the boy who lived for Godric's sake 

"Honestly I just wing it, most of the time I don't know what I'm doing, I guess I just get lucky," he said, he looked like he couldn't even believe he had been through as much as he had. 

"I think there are books in the fifth row so we should start looking, if want to start at one end and ill start at the other, we can divide and conquer." 

we continued talking, and I had to say I really don't understand why people think he looks for this stuff, who in their right mind would go through what he has on purpose. 

"Why haven't I seen you more? I mean we are in the same year arent we ?" harry asked 

"I don't know, maybe you can study with us some time? " I didn't get a chance to hear his reply. as moody came and sent everyone on their way. 

The next day. 

After Harry had gotten an extra point for rescuing more people from the lake, there was a major party in the common room, thanks to the twins of course. 

As I came down from my dorm, the party was wild, I could barely hear anything over the music and could even pass anyone. 

"Oh hey Y/N" I turned to see Hermione.

"hey, how long has it been like this" " how are you feeling" "how is ron feeling . . . oh and harry too?" 

She just giggled 

"Sorry too many questions," I said and giggled 

after talking and dancing with Hermione and a few people jumping in on the conversation, I went to get a drink. 

" hmm what to get, " I said 

"Talking to yourself,"  someone said to my right, I thought I was alone. I looked to reply to them, suddenly I got red and I saw harry standing next to me.

"sorry harry I think out loud sometimes, . . .  oh well done, I knew you could do it, of course, like I said last night you're harry potter"  "oh what was it like, where you scared oh not that you're not brave . . . i -"

"you ramble a lot you know that," he said sweetly 

"oh sorry" I looked down suddenly feeling embarrassed and wanting to go curl up in a corner somewhere. 

" I'm just going to . . erm find someone, yeah all see you," I said and I grabbed a drink and started to turn.

"oh no I didn't mean it in a bad way sorry, . . . I can be awkward sometimes," he said while grabbing my arm gently. 

" ME TOO," I said a bit too energetically. 

she was starting to look nervous and scratching the back of his neck, "hey I actually think it cute, the rambling thing"

Did he just say cute? 

I gave him a questioning look.

"so I was thinking if you would want to hang out? like we could study or not erm yeah?" he said then instantly looking down. he really was awkard. 

'okay play it cool Y/N' i thought to myself.

"yeah sure just let me know"
