The night grew more and more dull as it went on, the rain battering against the window ferociously as the girls around the dorm continued to tell eery stories. It was a Friday night, and normally this meant that everyone was staying up later due to no classes the following day, and the girls within her dorm had decided to hold a sleepover gathering.
They slept in the same room every night, but getting dressed in pyjamas, sneaking some cake from the kitchen, and gathering by one bed and talk was something they would try to do weekly to kill some boredom within the school grounds.
However, instead, tonight turned into suggestions of horror, gory, repulsive wolves, and murderous wizards. Each story topics which Y/n was never fond with, they turned to her for a story once someone had finished telling a horror story they received from their older muggle brother, a boy being chased by a gruesome figure at a muggle petrol station and was never to be seen again, the details ghastly and off-putting which made Y/n feel sick and refuse to tell a story herself.
The light outside only began to grow darker as the only source of light, the comforting moon which shone above the early hours of the morning, was covered by a dark cloud. Y/n stepped from her spot on the bed, she tried to wait a few hours before seeking Harry, knowing the boys were all gathering by the common room to spend their night away, playing games and laughing the night away.
She slips from the dorm room, the girls too busy focusing on the stories to even hear her leave or notice her absence, Y/n was jealous as she could hear the boy's laughter from downstairs while she quietly descended down.
Heads turned from their spot around the fire as she entered the space, Neville's smile growing upon her presence, "hello, Y/n". His smile vanishes as he notices the state of her expression, almost looking ill as she nods at him, her boyfriend's back turning from his position on the chair arm to look at her, "alright, love?" he asks light-heartedly.
She doesn't speak, which urges Harry to continue, "I haven't seen you at all today, 'missed you" he smiles, but again, Y/n doesn't reply.
"Are you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost!" Dean states, the boys silent as Y/n doesn't reply, her feet padding to stand beside Harry who lays a gentle hand on her elbow to usher her gaze to fixate on his, "Y/n, what happened?".
"No, it's alright, the girls are all telling scary stories is all. But you're spending some time with everyone, it's okay. I'll head back up" she nearly stutters, voice so quiet Harry almost didn't hear the mumble as she turns away but his hand latches onto her wrist to stop her, "I was just about to go to bed, how about you come up with me?" he suggests, standing from his position, his hand slithering to intertwine their fingers together instead.
Y/n looks up to her boyfriend, a glint in her eyes which worried Harry, she looked terribly innocent and terrified, one Harry wished he could immediately take from her to make her feel better, "it's okay, really". However, Harry shakes his head dismissively with a kind smile as he guides them upstairs, ignoring the noises from the girls' dorms as he guides her up to his dorm room instead.
He closes the door behind them as she begins to walk to his bed, his frame close behind her as he speaks, "at least you're already in your pyjamas" Harry tries to spread some light, awkwardly laughing at his own words as his finger softly nudges her hip, only to be met with a weak smile in return. "Y/n, you're worrying me" he states, walking to one side of the single bed and nestling under the duvet, invitingly opening his arms for his girlfriend to join.
The feeling of his hoodie covered arm gently tugging her to his side is something which instantly makes her melt, nearly forgetting it all as her chin rests on his shoulder with a soft sigh escaping her lips.
Instead of bringing up the situation which made her anxious, only believing that would make it worse in the moment and they should talk about it in the morning when she has a clear and better mindset, Harry decides on a differing topic, "do you want to see something cool I can do?".
His offer causes a light chuckle to escape Y/n as she tucks her head into his shoulder, causing him to turn and lay small kisses to her forehead, "what can you do, Harry?" she asks, head glancing up to meet his eyes. He leans down to settle a kiss to her lips before pulling his wand from his pyjama pocket.
Y/n curiously observes as his free hand aims towards the empty room, the moon escaped from its kidnapper above and settling some light into the cold grounds as Harry confidently speaks, his voice echoing against the stone walls, "Expecto Patronum".
White dust etches from the tip of his wand before glowing across the room, Y/n is mesmerized as the white mist lights the room as if its own lamp and her body tucks further into her boyfriend's comforting side as the mist suddenly starts to float into a shape, taking in the object of a stag.
"A stag, like your father" Y/n starts, mesmerised by the sight in front of them as the deer begins to gallop across the room, leaving a trail of white glow behind his every step. Harry nodding proudly as he holds the spell as long as he can, "see, you're protected. Nothing will happen, I'm right by your side".
"I didn't know you could do the Patronus" she continues, hand lightly rubbing his clothed chest with pride as her eyes never leave the stag conjured in front, her worries melting away within one single moment.
Harry nods once again, a moment he had saved as a surprise, finally he was glad he could use it at a moment Y/n needed. "I struggled to find a happy memory for months while Lupin fed me chocolate every time I fainted from another failed attempt of using the spell. Then the night I really needed to use it, a moment where my life was in danger, was the day after you first spoke to me. I had a crush on you for months, and I replayed the moment you first walked up to me, and we talked and laughed, and I was only slightly awkward to you but I obviously held it together, and then I was able to save myself and the people around me" he finishes, a soft smile across his face as the Patronus melts away, the white floating towards the ground and disappearing from sight.
However, Y/n had turned to look at Harry, his words kind and meaningful as she leans up to kiss his cheek delicately, arm wrapping around his waist as her nose nuzzles under his jaw, both falling back into a comforting grip.
"Thank you, Harry" she whispers, feeling herself begin to drift off into a sleep, her worries melted away alongside Harry's Patronus as her senses were filled by her boyfriend's presence, "anytime... love" he finishes, closing his eyes himself, his cheek pressed against her head as they're both are lured into a calm sleep, "you were very awkward when we first spoke" Y/n finishes, last words uttered as she sleeps.
Harry laughs lightly to himself in agreement, a gentle squeeze to her frame, "I was very awkward, and I didn't remotely hold it together."
