Poisoned Love

Chapter 1

-- Y/n's perspective-- 

Y/n Cressida and "The famous" Harry Potter have been crushing on each other for over a year now, and it has been quite obvious to anyone that paid attention.

"I'm sure Harry is going to ask you" Hermione squealed excitedly from beside me.

I looked around at the quidditch pitch before responding, 

"I really hope so... it would be so embarrassing to go to the ball alone, especially since I can't hangout with you since you're going with 'Mr I'm so handsome- everybody wants me' Victor Krum."  I replied trying to hold back the giggles threatening to escape my mouth.

We are walking around the school grounds and getting some air before heading back to our shared dorm room with Pavarti, Ginny, and Lavender. 

I noticed a tall blonde figure standing by a tree further in the distance. To my dismay, it's Malfoy and for some reason he won't stop staring at me. Hermione doesn't seem to notice him so I desperately try to ignore his stare. My discomfort was accompanied with queries that seemed to have formed in my brain. If he hated me so much, then why give me more than a quick glance? After all I was just some- and I quote "Gryffindor mudblood" to him.

His stare looks quizzical and dark, but there also seems to be some sort of hidden lust? I must be dreaming-

"Hello? Earth to Y/n!" Hermione says as she snaps in my face. 

"Sorry! I forgot, we were talking about your totally famous 'hot' date to the ball" I smile at her before I quickly glance back at the trees as we pass them, but Malfoy's gone like he was never there in the first place.

My thoughts quickly drift back to Harry, and how I pray he will ask me to the ball.

Hermione is so lucky. It's our fourth year and Professor Dumbledore has announced that we are hosting the Tri- Wizard tournament this year. To Hermione's luck, the "famous Quidditch star" Victor Krum has asked her to attend as his date (even though he's 17, and we're 14- I think it's gross); but congratulations to her since he's one of the 4 competitors this year in the tournament. 

On the opposite side of luck, someone anonymously entered Harry into the tournament in hopes that it would kill him. Poor Harry can't catch a break here. In our first year our DADA teacher was some sort of Voldemort carrier, and he was trying to get the Philosophers to bring Voldemort back to life since all those years ago Harry destroyed him when Voldemort killed his parents. Of course nobody believed us when Ron, Hermione, Harry and I tried to tell people that the stone was in danger, so it ended up being the four of us in a life threatening  position and Harry almost died and ended up unconscious for three days. 

Second year, poor Ginny was possessed by Tom Riddle- who actually happens to be young Voldemort before he rearranged his name. There was a basilisks going around the school attacking the muggle-borns. According to Harry and Ron, Hermione and I were attacked and 'petrified', Hermione and I don't have much recollection from the time... Everyone was blaming Harry and calling him the heir of Slytherin, so of course it had to be 12 year old Harry almost dying after killing the basilisk all by himself in the Chamber of Secrets at the bottom of the school, while saving Ginny's life. 

Third year; last year, we all met Sirius Black. Once again- poor Harry was told that his life was in danger, so that ruined his entire year since he spent it in constant fear and alert. He was especially upset and lost his mind when he heard that Sirius is the reason his parents were dead, and that Sirius black "the notorious killer who escaped from Azkaban"  is Harry's Godfather. Nobody ever takes time to explain things to us, especially Harry, which only makes our lives harder. We all ended up finding out that Sirius is innocent, and that someone deemed dead was alive and actually pretending to be Ron's pet rat. 

So far, last year is my favourite year because after Harry, Hermione and I traveled through time and set things right, including watching Harry save his own life and Sirius's from at least 100 dementors, he kissed me. It wasn't much, and I think it's because he was just happy to have found some sort of family, but I was there, he was there, Hermione was with Ron- so he turned around and gave me a quick peck on the lips before turning red and apologizing. I reassured him that it was completely fine while jumbling over my own words, but what I didn't tell him was that I have been in love with him for all of that year.  

Finally, this leads us to our fourth year; this year. 

"Like I said y/n, I'm most sure he's going to ask you, didn't he kiss you last year?!" Hermione asked, already knowing the answer. 

"Yes Mione, and you know it. But you also know that since he's been entered in the tournament, the entire school has been bullying him and now he sticks to himself and keeps his head down." I tell her with sadness in my voice. 

It is true, Harry and I have hung out a lot this year, but we haven't kissed since last year. He's still the same Harry we all know and love, but sometimes his smile doesn't meet his eyes, and when him and Ron were in a fight Harry completely shut himself out from everyone- including me. We're good friends still, but I think we're back to square one and we just "like" each other... at least I hope. 

"I know, it's funny how so many people can go from calling you a saviour to a cheat without even knowing the full story." Hermione said, "I feel sorry for him, and I'm worried for him too."

"Me too, but at least he seemed to have gotten by the dragon with ease..." I say reassuring myself more than Hermione.  "and since then, Ron and him are on better terms, along with the entirety of Gryffindor house." 

"Yes well, I think it's time to say goodbye to the boys and head to Hogsmeade now. Let's go get our dresses y/n!" Hermione said excitedly while gathering hers and my stuff before grabbing my arm and pulling me out our door. "I love Saturdays!" She exclaimed.

A/N Thank you guys so much for reading the first chapter! I just wanted to get some main background information in before we jump further into the story. I love and appreciate all of you <3
