y/n lewis,

A saturday morning at the lake, setting up Ben's surprise party with my mates. What could be more special?

Ben is going to be my brother – officially my brother. JJ has been really excited – and we cannot wait to see Ben's reaction.

We're placing some things on the table – like cookies and other snacks. And that's when i accidentally placed my hand on top of Harry's – surprising the both of us.

"Oh, sorry," i apologize, awkwardly and nervously smiling.

Harry chuckles, shaking his head.

Why the fuck does he always look that good when he does that?

"Don't worry about it, really," he says, "It's just your hand, it's fine." Harry looks at me for a mere moment – not saying anything. Although he then clears his throat and says, "I mean, we've kissed before, so–" noticing the tension he's created, he stops, "Alright, i'll stop."

"Ben's getting closer you guys!" Emma shouts, alerting everyone. "Everyone get in position!" JJ exclaims as everyone crouches down.

Harry and i crouch down under a table together – smiling at each other.

It does feel different being this close with him. Feel like butterflies are attacking my goddamn stomach.

"Surprise!" Our friends shout – Harry and i are quite surprised for we didn't see Ben coming.

"Oh my–" Ben sobs, clinging onto JJ.

"Oh come on, mate," JJ coees, "Don't cry like that."

"I– I don't know what to say," Ben continues – as JJ invites all of us for a group hug, "Oh, bring it in."

"Ben, here," i hand him the paper as we break the hug, "We have something for you."

"Adoption form?" "Signed by Henry and Odette Lewis?"

"You have to sign that, i mean if you want to lawfully be our brother," i chuckle, "If you don't want to, it's fine–"

"I love you, Y/n," he smiles – then looks at Harry. Ben then corrects himself, "I love all of you."

Was Harry giving him a disapproving look?

"We love you too," Emma kisses Ben's cheek, holding him once more.

Suddenly, Dolores Umbridge comes over to us.

This ain't good.

"Oh, dear, dear children," she giggles, "What a lovely gathering."

"Although, you are supposed to be studying," she continues – and we look at each other in complain, groaning.

"It's literally–"

"No excuses!"

"This is for Ben, he's going through a rough time–"

"I said no excuses, Miss Lewis!"

"Y/n, let it go," Ben says, holding my hand.

"Look," i start, scoffing at her. "Are you a teacher or are you just a heartless bitch?"

"Ben here is going through some fucked up shit and i know that you wouldn't understand because that thick skull of yours doesn't seem to–" i begin ranting – but she of course interrupts me,

"Detention, Miss Lewis!"

"Fuck," i curse underneath my breath. Umbridge and her evil methods are the last thing i need right now.
