Y/n's POV:

It's a night before The Yule Ball. I'm in my dorm, trying to get sleep. Why is sleeping always so damn hard?!

"Y/n?" Hermione says, squinting.

"Im so sorry! Did I wake you up?"

"Well, sort of. But, what's wrong? Why aren't you getting sleep?"

"I- I don't know..."

"Would you like me to make you some tea? Whenever I don't get sleep, tea helps me."

"Really? Thanks, Hermione", I say, trying to smile.

"Mhm. Sit by the fireplace, it's always cozy there!" she says. I always knew that those brains came in use for stuff other than studying.

I walk outside.

What's bothering me? Why can't I get any sleep? Is it because The Yule Ball is tomorrow? I have a feeling I'm going to be a complete wreck in front of Harry. Y/n, WHY would you think that Harry would want to take you to The Yule Ball as more than friends? Its obvious he likes Ginny... There's just this sense of jealousy in me thats not going away!

As for Ginny, I- I don't know what to say. Does Harry actually like her? I'm sure that she likes him because every mid-term break, when Fred, Ron, George and her, used to come back home, all Ginny used to do is talk about Harry.

Did I make the wrong choice of breaking up with Draco?

"Y/n, your tea!" Hermione says, handing me tea.

"Thanks, Hermione."

"Now, tell me. What's wrong? I've never seen you this lost!"

"What if I made the wrong choice?"

She fell silent.

"You didn't make the wrong choice, Y/n. Harry's much better than Draco. He's just unsure about his feelings."

"What if he likes Ginny? What's going to happen to me? Will I just stay heartbroken?"

"I'm sure he likes you."

"He doesn't, Hermione. Did you see the way he got jealous when Ginny brought up the fact that Dean and her were 'discussing potions'?"

"Y/n, you really are blind." Hermione says, laughing. "Did you not notice him fume with rage when you said you were dating Malfoy? He doesn't like Ginny!"

Harry comes out of his dorm.

"I like Ginny..." he says.

My heart broke. Then and there, he made it clear that he likes my sister.

"W- What?" Hermione said.

He sits down on the couch.

"Is it that bad?" he asks, looking worried.

Hermione looks at me. Thoughts running through my head. Why would he take me to The Yule Ball? Was he playing with my feelings? What about all those times when he-

"Y/n? What do you think? Ginny and you are pretty close. Does she like me back?" he asks.

"WAIT HARRY!" Ron sort of whisper-shouted as he ran out of his dorm. He looks at me. "Crap, I'm late aren't I?"

Hermione nods.

"I'm sure Ginny likes you.. she- you should go ask her yourself, Harry. Might as well take her to The Yule Ball. I'm sure you prefer her over me, anyway." I say. I can't hold it in any longer. It hurts. A lot.

"What? What makes you think that?"

"Its a little too late to be having this conversation.." Hermione says.

"Hermione, don't stop me from speaking the truth."

"No, no. What- Y/n, what is wrong with you?!" Harry says.

"Oh, you want to know what's wrong with me?! What's wrong with me is that, everyday you go around with Ginny acting like you two are some sort of couple. Let her be with Dean! Isn't that who she truly loves? Instead of focusing on things like her, maybe try to think about the people that really love you, Harry. You- You wouldn't understand..." I say, tears streaming down my face.

"No one loves me, I only have you three... And I can't lose YOU, Y/n. I- I really like you..." Harry says. WHAT? DID I GIVE THAT WHOLE SPEECH FOR NOTHING?

"As friends..." he says. Of course as friends.

Hermione facepalmed.

"But, you like Ginny? Mate, why wouldn't you tell me sooner?" Ron says.

"I was unsure. But Y/n, I'm sure that I want to go to The Ball with YOU." He says. I smile. "So, should I tell Ginny that I like her tomorrow after The Yule Ball?" Harry asks, looking at Ron.

Silence filled the room.

"Erm, yeah. Do what you will... We'll be with Y/n. See you later, Harry. Goodnight." Hermione says, holding my hand before we go to our dorm.

Inside, I couldn't help but think about how stupid I was. This is why you shouldn't get too ahead of yourself, Y/n.

"Y/n, just ignore whatever Harry said. Maybe he still is unsure about his feelings."

"How can I ignore what he said when it's the truth?"

"Harry Potter likes you! I'm 100% sure of it! He'll just need some time.."

I nod.

"Im not sure of it. I'm not sure of it at all. Hermione, I feel like I should forget about this whole situation and maybe forget that I ever liked Harry."

"A wise man once told me to never give up on love. Y/n, don't. Trust me, please."

"I'm sorry, Hermione. You know I would give you my life if I needed to, just not for love."

"No, Y/n. You can't do this. Please!"

"Good night, Hermione. Don't remind me about this night.. ever again."

"At least listen to me, Y/n! I-"

"Good night. Love you." I say before turning away into bed. I think I've had quite a bit of drama for today. Although, Dad has told me the same words than Hermione had said, I can't afford to get my heartbroken. I'm happy for Ginny, she's gotten her dream guy. As for Harry, maybe I shouldn't give up? I'm not sure... For now, I need to get some rest. I'm tired.

★★★

A/N: I'm not sure what to say about this one. Y/n is basically losing feelings but is unsure what to do. Should I add in more jealousy and drama or keep it simple lmao? Besides that, The Yule Ball is coming up soon and I'm pretty excited to write about it! So yay! Thank you so much for the support! It seems like y'all are enjoying this more than Y/n x Draco so maybe I'll do more! Love y'all!<3
