ANOTHER DUMBLERORE'S ARMY MEETING DAY, and on this particular day, we are finally practicing the patronus charm, something i've been so excited to do.
I look around the room of requirements – filled with blue mists everywhere. Conjured by everyone's wand. Just mists though, not full body patronuses, not yet.
But i'm still proud of everyone. Especially Harry. He seems so passionate about actually teaching – he's been helping everyone out a lot.
"So uh," someone cleared their throat beside me – and i turn to see Jace. Been a while. "Patronus, huh?"
"Oh hey, i haven't seen you in some time," i chuckle, "How're you?"
"Bit boggled about the Cedric thing, but i'm fine."
"You okay?" Harry comes up to me – just to check in, i guess.
He and Jace glare at each other – while i try to think of something to break the ice.
"I am," i chuckle nervously, "I'm okay, Harry."
"You should practice the patronus charm with me," he said, taking my hand. But his eyes were staring straight into Jace's.
This is both awkward and tense as fuck. And i do not like it.
Jace clicks his tounge, looking at Harry still – kind of with rage in his eyes.
"Let's go," Harry sneered, taking me away.
He leads me away from Jace, to the far corner of the room of requirement. His hand is still gripping my wrist tightly, and our bodies are inches apart from each other.
"What was that about?" i ask him – snatching my hand away from his.
"What was what?" he asked back, acting clueless.
"That thing with Jace."
"That was nothing."
I let out a stressful sigh, rolling my eyes with my arms crossed.
"Doesnt matter, the only thing that does matter is you saying," Harry starts, pulling his wand out from his pocket, "Expecto Patronus!"
A line of blue mist comes out of the tip of his wand – and soon turns to a really beautiful stag, walking around the room before ultimately disappearing.
"Now you do it," he smiles, turning to me. "Happiest memory, it's that simple."
I close my eyes and focus, trying to think of something. Anything that made me happy. The happiest i've ever been.
Not the one when i was announced as seeker, no. It doesn't work – needs to be happier.
Lunch with the 4-mation, perhaps.
"Expecto patronum!"
Still nothing.
Harry grabs my arm, making me turn towards him. He says, "Why don't you just think of me?"
Shit it's the butterflies again.
"Okay," i nod nervously, before shutting my eyes again.
I think about the day when Harry and i were watching the sunset together – everything was peaceful, it felt perfect, i was happy.
I even smile to myself just thinking about it.The way he rested his head on my lap, the way he laughed. It was heaven.
"Expecto patronum!"
Still nothing.
I don't understand – how could that memory not be strong enough?
I look around the room, finding students trying out spells with their friends – laughing. Having fun together.
And that's when it hits me,
My happiest memory is whenever i'm with the 4-mation.
"Expecto patronum!"
Finally, some blue mist comes out of my wand, before finally turning to the shape of a doe.
A doe.
I thought of my dad and the marauders. How happy they were to reunite. Their friendship and their bond. Looking at them made me happy – made me understand the true meaning of friendship.
And it worked – the memory worked.
"Yes!" Harry exclaimed, looking at me and my patronus proudly.
He takes my waist, and with full conciousness that everyone is watching,
He pulls me in for a kiss – his fingers run through my hair, my hands are on his neck – he is perfect. This is perfect.
When we break away, Harry kisses my cheek and tightly hugs me.
This is when i knew that i truly, madly, and deeply love this boy.
"Way to go! Cho totally believed that," he whispered.
And so did i.
➽───────────────❥
"This is so exciting!" Hermione grinned, "We're spending christmas together!"
Ben, Hermione, and i are packing our belongings together – for Grimmauld Place.
That means my dad and Sirius are going to freak out about Harry and i again even though there's really nothing going on.
"Yeah," Ben butted in, "I'm glad i have you guys."
"Oh hey, Y/n," he suddenly came up to me, holding a piece of parchment, "You dropped this."
"Wait Ben, what is that?" Hermione asked, getting a better view of the writing on it.
They both read it – jaws hung open – wide eyes staring right at me.
"YOU AND HARRY ARE FAKE DATING?"
