y/n lewis,

First morning of fifth year.

I wake up kind of late, so when i look over to Emma's bed, she isn't there.

It's crazy how when i get out of bed, first thing that comes to my mind is Harry. Is he feeling better now? Did he sleep well?

I quickly get ready so he can answer those questions himself.

As i walk down to the common room i see Theo – laying down on the couch. He's sleeping – why is he sleeping when he's supposed to at breakfast? He's going to be late.

He isn't even wearing his robe. Just the white button up shirt that goes underneath it and his untangled green tie.

It'd be rude not to wake him up and tell him that he's almost late, right? Plus, he'd lose house points for us that way.

I kneel down beside the sofa, tapping his shoulder.

"Theo," i say, "Wake up."

It takes a minute – he's shuffling around but still sleeping.

So i tap his shoulder again. "Wake up, you'll be late – come on now."

Still no response.

I sigh, clearing my throat – getting ready for what's about to come.

"THEODORE NOTT WAKE THE FUCK UP, YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" i shout. Theo jolts up from the sofa immediately, looking around the empty common room.

"You're welcome," i smile at him. He notices me – then his cheeks begin to turn pink. Theo scratches the back of his neck nervously and thanks me for waking him up.

"Overslept," he chuckles, "Thanks."

He looks down at his green tie and tries to tie it, but miserably fails. He looks clueless as fuck – he probably usually gets one of his friends to tie it for him.

"Need help with that?" i ask, walking closer towards him. I help him with his tie – and when i'm done, i look up to his eyes.

He stares down at me, smiling.

"Thanks," he says, before i quickly move away from him.

Harry and i aren't even dating – not really anyway, but being that close to Theo makes me feel like i'm cheating on Harry – like i'm betraying him.

Still though, being that close to Theo feels nothing when compared to Harry.

If you asked me 7 months ago if i fancied Theodore Nott, i'd say yes, absolutely. The bloke's handsome, super nice, super fun.

But now i feel like i've started to fall for someone i'm not supposed to – and all those feelings for Theo just completely vanished.

I give Theo a smile before ultimately exiting the common room – walking through the dungeons to the great hall.

As i walk through the dark underground corridors, i can't help but think back to the day Harry hexed me at this very spot, feels so long ago – and i knew that i hated him that time.

It'd probably be much better to just laugh about it with him – talk about funny stuff when we absolutely despised each other.

I know that Harry said i'm one of his best friends now, but is it bad that i want to be more than that?

I enter the great hall and search for Harry at the Gryffindor table – but he's no where to be seen.

I sit beside Ron – whereas JJ sits by Hermione and Ben with Emma. I look around the table, but still no Harry.
