-prologue-

Harry came up behind the girl, excitement coursing through his body. He had been waiting to see her reaction all day. 

Ginny had cut his hair for him after the most recent Quidditch match after it kept getting in his eyes. 

He crept up quietly behind Y/n, taking care not to tread on the autumn leaves falling all across the Hogwarts courtyard. 

She was reading- h/c hair falling around her face, back hunched and face screwed up in focus. 

 "Good book, huh?" Harry asked, resting his elbow on her head. 

 "Hi love." she mumbled, still following along on the page. 

 "Y/n."

 "What."

 "Y/n."

 "What?" she looked up exasperatedly, annoyed, but then her eyes widened with shock at her boyfriend's butchered hair. 

 "Oh Harry!" she exclaimed, placing her book delicately down on the bench beside her. 

 "Yeah! You like it?" he asked, throwing his arms out and spinning in a circle, giving her the full view. 

 "Um..." Y/n debated whether or not to tell him- the haircut was awful, all shaggy and uneven, but it was clear he liked it. 

 "I love it. You look very handsome."

He stooped down and pressed a sweet kiss to her lips. He tasted like blackberries. 

 "Thank you."

-sixth year-

Over and over I keep going over the world
We knew

The girl watched him from down the bench at the Gryffindor table. He was talking, and laughing with his friends, but there was a distant look behind his eyes. 

Y/n recognized that look. She could only hope he was thinking of her. 

Once when you

Walked beside me

That unconcievable, that unbelievable world

We knew

When we two were in love

He missed her so much. Harry felt like a fool for ending things. He missed everything about her- her perfume, her smile, the way she wore her hair. He missed her body, the way she made him feel like nobody else since ever had. He missed the way she talked, the things she said... he only hoped she thought of him as fondly. 

Probably not. He knew he had hurt Y/n's feelings. 

Harry felt a burning sensation on the back of his neck, and he looked away from where Ron and Hermione were bickering. 

Y/n was looking at him, brows furrowed, e/c eyes shining. Merlin, how he missed her. It hurt, like a bullet hole in his chest. 

He gave her a timid smile, which she returned, sadly, and then went back to eating her muffin. 

Harry sighed. How he wished they could go back to the way things were. 

And every bright neon sign

Turned into stars

And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours

Each road that we took turned into gold

But the dream was to much for you to hold

Over and over I keep going over the world we knew

Days when you

Used to love me

hope y'all liked! i'm in my feels and thought i'd share<3
