hogsmeade

christmas was arriving at hogwarts and only a few people were remaining at the castle. harry, hermione, ron and you were nearly the only ones who were going to spend their holidays without their families because you preferred to spend them around each other: harry wasn't going back with the dursleys until summer, hermione wanted to stay at school just in case she needed to visit the library while doing her homework and ron and you wanted to be with harry and hermione so you could spend more time together.

six years were, of course, allowed to visit hogsmeade whenever they wanted to. the morning before christmas you woke up at half past eleven. you loved sleeping, specially during snowy and cold days even if the rest of the students were playing outside.

you got dressed with warm and comfy clothes and went straight to the library, where you had met hermione the day before.

“finally!” she said as you sat down, “i thought you weren't coming!!”

“sorry mione, i overslept again” you replied. you took your ‘standard book of spells, grade six’ copy out of your bag and starting studying and practising some little spells so you and hermione won't make noise.

after a while you two got out of the library and went back to the gryffindor common room, where harry and ron were sitting on a couch near the fire talking softly.

“hi guys!” hermione said before going upstairs to the girls bedroom with both her things and yours.

while waiting for her to come back, you waved at your two best friends, who smiled as though they were talking about something secret. then ron sent an awkward look to harry, who smiled at you nervously. you blushed and smiled back. you've liked harry since forever and it doesn't seem like changing, at least not by now. the situation was quite awkward but it was still comfortable.

harry's green emerald eyes didn't leave yours as hermione came back and ron stood up.

“can we have lunch? i'm starving” he asked.

“yeah sure” hermione said, looking at him as he got close to her, then put your eyes on harry, who was still looking at you. “are you two coming?” she asked.

“yeah, sorry” you apologised and nodded to the door. the four of you arrived at the great hall ten minutes later.

you sat down next to harry and across ron and hermione who sat together. soon the air was full of hermione's contagious laughter and ron's usual noises. he wasn't a very delicate person when it came to eat. while hermione was laughing loudly at something ron had said, harry took your right hand under the table. you looked up and into her beautiful eyes.

“what's the matter?” you asked curiously.

“er- I was- I was just wondering whether you wanted to- to go to hogsmeade with me?” he was nervous, almost trembling, but you didn't really notice.

“sure” you replied and quickly placed a little kiss on his already red cheek. you had never done that before but you thought your friendship with harry was brilliant so doing that kind of things - holding hands, hugging and kisses on each other's cheeks - was perfectly okay. he smiled at you as he reddened and murmured “brilliant” so only you could hear it.
