Befriending the Enemy

I Remember It All Too Well

"I was mesmerized by her beauty."~*

(I suggest listening to All Too Well during this chapter💗)

Harry POV:

It was the end of May. Me and Dani got into a fight, because she said Sirius wasn't a bad guy. I told her everything he had done and she said that it never happened the way I was describing it. About a week ago I met him. And let's just say I stood corrected. We haven't talked since December, and I really regret it. We had such a great friendship, and I threw it all away.

I texted her to meet me at the Black Lake, forty minutes before sundown, to talk. Once I got there, I saw her. She was petting a cat that she found. I've never noticed how pretty she has gotten. Throughout the year she adapted beautifully to her features, and left her baby face behind. Her silky blonde hair was being pushed by the wind. Her skin was gleaming from the sun. Her eyes were sparkling as they have never before.

"Harry..." - she said, after seeing me. Usually I would smile at her, but I missed her so much, and it didn't help how beautiful she looked, so I went in for a warm, tight hug. As I was hugging her I smelled her beautiful scent, strawberries and roses.

"How have you been?" - she said. "Good. Look, I'm sorry for treating you that way."

"It's okay. If I was told my parents were killed by someone they trusted, I would've acted the same way." She understood me so well, it made me feel horrible about the situation. "Friends?" - I asked, with very little hope. "Best friends." - she replied.

We caught up and I couldn't really focus on her words, because I was lost in her eyes. I've always seen her as a friend, but I don't think I can do that anymore. I was mesmerized by her beauty.

We got back to the common room around nine, and we stayed in the common room. That night we stayed up till one am talking. The next morning, I realized we had fallen asleep, and she was sleeping on my chest. I made a bold move, hoping to not wake her up, and kissed her on the forehead.

Later, I realized, I fell in love with Daniella Malfoy, and couldn't help it. I was lost in her words, personality and beauty.

I wish I could hug her and not let go. I wish I could keep her to myself.

One year later, and the yule ball is near. I had plans of asking her ever since I found out about it. I was too scared. The evening that I was going to ask her in the commonroom, she came running to me and said: "I have a date!" Did Hermione tell her something? "Who?" - I said smirking, preparing my words. "Blaise! Zabini!"

That bitch.

I cried myself to sleep that night. If only I asked her before, what would have happened? If I asked her before, would she have even said yes? If I asked her before, would we have even been the loving couple they were just two months ago?

This leads me to the present. One where I am crying myself to sleep again. One where I am ignoring Daniella once again. One where I am unhappy with myself. I would do anything to mend things with her, but I need to see if she really wants me as something more. If she doesn't, I don't think I can continue this friendship. I see her as more than a friend, for her to take me as a joke.

I will always love Daniella Malfoy, even if she doesn't feel the same way.

Srry for the short chapter, it was just lore fill up, i promise next chapter will be good!
