Harry Potter x Reader Oneshots!

Ventura Highway(modern!)- Harry Potter

driving throught the London countryside- 'after Hogwarts'- based off the song Ventura Highway by America, George Martin. Hope you guys like this particular 'hot take'!

The sunset was breathtaking- after spending my whole day inside, working at the Muggle bookstore, it was amazing to be able to step outisde and be aware that I had my whole night ahead of me. 

Yes, the day was muggy and there were gnats and flies swarming about my head, but Harry was coming to pick me up in 15 minutes and I could not have been more excited. 

I strode quickly down the street, deciding to grab a quick bite before Harry drove up. 

Just as I was walking out of the sandwich shoppe, Harry pulled up in his red Impala. 

He rolled down the window, aviators sliding down on his nose. 

 "Hey sweet girl, you ready?"

I grinned, and scurried over to the car, hopping in.

 "Bought you a sandwich, lovely!" I handed him his warm hoagie and strapped in. 

He kissed my cheek, his warm scent invading my nostrils. 

 "Thanks sweet. Where do you wanna go today?"

I looked over at him, smiling. 

 "Anywhere you want," I settled in, getting comfy. "You're the driver."

He chuckled. "Sounds good, m'lady. Onward."

The London countryside was as gorgeous as I rememberd. Harry was taking us along the train tracks of the Hogwarts Express. The grass was as green as emeralds and the sky as blue as Harry's eyes. 

He had the radio on- it was playing some old American song that I had never heard before. 

Ventura Highway,
In the sunshine

Where the days are longer,
the nights are stronger than moonshine

 "What is this song?" I asked, leaning forward to turn it up.

 "Not sure. Wanna roll the windows down? Get the full experience?" Harry asked, looking over at me, eyebrows quirked. 

I nodded, and he pressed the 'auto-down' button, and soon the wind was ripping through our hair and I felt the incredible urge to burst into laughter and song at the same time. 

 "I kind of love this song!" I yelled, grinning madly. 

 "I think I do too!" Harry called, pressing down the accelerator. 

-time skip to a few months later-

Harry got up off the floor, eyes shining with tears. 

 "So that's a yes?"

Moments in time were flashing across my eyes. Our first date, our first kiss... times at Hogwarts certainly weren't always easy, and our last two years had been in shambles because of Voldemort, but we had made it through. Our relationship had survived, and I was seriously ready to spend the rest of my life with him. 

 "Yes, it's a yes! You even found our song!"

 Wishin' on a falling star

Watching for the early train

Sorry, boy, but I've been hit by

Purple rain

Aw, come on Joe, you can always change your name
Thanks a lot son, just the same...

I know this is super fluffy and tbh probably kinda cheesy, but I love this song and I feel like it fits the vibe of this chapter nicely. 

Lots of love to you guys! I hope you find yourself on Ventura Highway sometime in your life<3
