The stars (Harry Potter fanfiction)

Chapter Thirty-Six

I was woken up by someone shaking me, I look up and it's Harry. He's beside me and his hands are on my shoulders. It's the middle of the night what could he possibly want.

"Harry?"

He doesn't say anything he just climbs into the bed with me. Hugging me, I start to feel wetness on the back of my shirt.

"Harry," I whisper out to him, he hums in response. "Look at me," I tell him, it's silent but you can hear some shuffling around. and then Harry is hovering over me staring at me. I can see the tears on his face, even in this room full of darkness.

"Why are you crying?" I ask, while grabbing him and laying him down on me. So his head is resting on my chest.

"It was a nightmare. I can't stop having them." He tells me in a whisper, I guess he's not going to go in-depth about the nightmares. So I don't question him on that, we just sit in silence after that. All that's heard in the room is Ron's snores.

"You know they're just nightmares."

Harry doesn't respond, but I know he's rolling his eyes. Even if I can't see him.

"You'll be fine. Nothing can hurt you." I look down at Harry and start to mess with his hair. He cut his long hair from last year, it's quite devastating. I liked long-haired Harry a lot.

"I miss your long hair. I liked it better." I tell him, my voice barely above a whisper.

"It got too long." He mumbles to me, his head still resting on my chest. I start to giggle at the vibrations being sent up towards me.

"It tickled." I laughed out to him, causing Harry to let out a little chuckle. I got him to laugh, that's amazing.

It goes silent again, not an awkward silence. It was more of a comfortable silence. Both of us enjoying each other's company. That is until Harry decides to break it.

"Can I kiss you?"

I nod my head, but Harry isn't looking up so he can't see me. "Yes," I tell him still nervous about us kissing. Even though he's my boyfriend, and we've kissed multiple times before.

And Harry's mouth crashes into mine. He slips his tongue into my mouth. As our lips move together magically, and our tongues intertwine together. I can taste the mint toothpaste in Harry's mouth. I wonder if he can taste my bubblegum toothpaste.

I bury my hands further in Harry's hair, as I try to squeeze us even closer together. Harry running his hand up and down my back, both of us pulling away to take short breaths. I can feel the wetness from Harry's tears on me.

We both end up pulling away this time, Harry lays his head back on my chest. And I start to play with his hair again, before saying out loud.

"That was more than a kiss."

Harry doesn't even reply, all he says is.

"Thank you."

No one says anything after that. My eyelids start to get heavy, as I slowly shut them drifting peacefully back to sleep.

--------------------

We're currently walking along the walkway at King Cross Station. I'm next to Tonks holding her hand. While mum is behind me by Mrs. Weasley with my things and Sabrina.

Harry's hearing was the other day, and he got cleared of all the charges. It was a very nice day.

"Tonks you know, Uncle Moony probably fancies you too," I tell her, she just looks down at me and glares.
