Be quiet

(Y/N) rapped quietly on the door, she supposed knocking on the door at all kind of defeated the purpose of trying to be quiet, so she abandoned her efforts and attempted to open the wooden door with minimal squeaking. "Harry? Are you up?"

Harry was quick to appear and open the door for her to come into the room. Honestly, he felt kind of bad, because it had been his intention to come to her. She had just beat him to it, but he supposed that wasn't too surprising; she had always seemed to be more sure of herself than Harry had. "Yeah, come in. I was just about to go look for you."

She didn't need to be told twice. Harry was probably her best friend...or maybe Hermione, but that would only because she couldn't share EVERYTHING with Harry (despite her desire to do so). She plopped on the bed and let out a sigh, a dramatic, but justified one. "This is a lot, right?"

"It's a bit much sure... not entirely bad though?" Harry knew immediately what she'd been referring to. A bombshell for sure. One thing they had been able to bond over was the fact that she grew up without her parents, Harry was thankful that she had a much more loving and tolerant aunt and uncle though. She never knew who her father was, and her mother had died around the age of 3. She knew who her father was now though... the notorious Sirius Black.

(Y/N) knew that she had been kept in the dark for her own good. Most people still thought the man was a murderer and she knew her aunt and uncle just didn't want her to grow up knowing that they shared the DNA. "I mean I guess not... Sirius is cool and all." It definitely sucked that his name hadn't been cleared to anyone not in the Order, but while not seemingly knowing a lot about what he was doing he seemed eager to try as much as he would be able to.

"I feel like I've been lied to my entire life and I get why they did it, but I wish I would've known." (Y/N) sat up and laid her head on Harry's shoulder. He'd sat down beside her after she'd laid back. "I suppose nothing really changes that much though."

He could definitely relate to some extent. Harry constantly felt like he was playing catch-up, and he was always a step behind everyone in knowing about himself and his life. "Right."

A silence fell over the pair. Harry wasn't sure what (Y/N) was feeling, but he felt content. She always had a way of making him feel that way. Hermione kept pushing him to say something, and as much as he wanted to he always found a reason not to do so. Now for example would be incredibly inappropriate, she was already so overwhelmed it just wouldn't be fair to add the weight of his feelings for her onto her shoulders.

"Can I ask you something completely off topic?"

"Anything."

"Do you like me?" (Y/N) felt bad for blurting out the question. Now probably wasn't the time and that probably wasn't the best way to go about it, but at that moment it seemed like the most appropriate option.

Poor Harry was happy he didn't have a mouth full or butter beer or pumpkin juice because there was no doubt that he would've probably spit it all over the bedding and the floor. He used to say that they were close enough that she could never surprise him, but that clearly was a lie. He often wondered if she was a Legilimen, because she seemed to have some sort of innate ability to read his mind. She also knew when he was lying to playing dumb probably wouldn't be too much help in this situation, "Uh...yeah. Hermione says it's bloody obvious."

(Y/N) chuckled and smiled, even though he wouldn't be able to see it, "She says the same to me if it makes you feel any better."

"You fancy me?" Harry always had a small suspicion, he didn't think that Hermione would be constantly trying to get him to confess his feelings if she thought it would end badly, but still he had his doubts.
