HARRY POTTER X READER one-shots [COMPLETE]

Complicated Magic (Harry)

Guide:

(Y/N): Your Name

(E/C): Eye Colour

(This is based on events from Prisoner of Azkaban. I don't remember the exact script but I do have a faint idea of what was happening, so don't judge too harshly! And you are in Gryffindor in this story, like Harry and Ron and Hermione.)

"Professor, mind explaining to us what we're doing?" you asked as you and your best friend Harry were being lead through the halls by Professor Lupin, your Defense against the Dark Arts teacher.

Professor Lupin turned back to look at you and Harry with a serious look. "Well, (Y/N)...Harry here wanted to learn how to defend himself against the Dementors. You understand that with Sirius Black's escape, they are guarding our school, and both of you have had some...let's say, both of you don't have the nicest side effects with them."

You nodded as you turned to Harry, who looked at you with an air of worry, his green eyes piercing into your (E/C) ones. For the last 2 years, you were fortunate to call Harry your best friend, and not just The Boy Who Lived, and even getting along with Ron and Hermione, his other friends, made you feel just so happy to be with him. But lately, every time you looked at him, you felt a stirring within your chest that consumed with fear. How could this be possible? Harry was your best friend. He wouldn't do anything bad...wouldn't he?

That was before you realized that you had a crush on him. It was confirmed now, walking with him, with him staring at you in the eyes, that you felt the urge to just throw your arms around him and ensure him everything was okay. You felt the need to just tell him that you'd protect him. But would he take it well? This bothered you, but not as much as the fact that every encounter with a Dementor would eventually render you unconscious.

"You alright?" Harry asked in a low voice, his eyebrows slightly raised.

You shrugged nonchalantly as you bit your lip, trying to catch up with Lupin. "I'm alright. Scared, though," you answered, stiffening.

"Hey." Harry whispered hoarsely as he looked you in the eye again. Somehow while he was doing so, he felt the urge to just take your hand. His gaze dropped down for a moment before looking back at you. "We'll be okay."

"Harry? (Y/N)? You still there?" The sound of Professor Lupin's voice was so far away now you cursed.

"COMING!" you called, turning back to Harry and nodding. "Come on."

The two of you quickly walked through the corridors until you found Professor Lupin in an empty classroom, setting up a huge chest in the middle of the room. Both you and Harry stepped in, still thoroughly confused.

"What--what's in that chest?" you asked.

Professor Lupin gave you a small smile. "We'll get to that in due time, (Y/N)." He clapped his hands, and then both you and Harry stood silently.

"Now, both of you have been experiencing some very horrid side effects with every encounter with the Dementors," he said, circling around the both of you slowly. "And so I have come to you with a solution. It's no easy solution, but it's an effective one. Many wizards can do this, but it's very complicated magic." Professor Lupin smiled and nodded at the both of you. "This solution I speak of is called the Patronus Charm."

"The Patronus Charm..." you heard Harry echo beside you.

Professor Lupin nodded. "Yes, Harry. The Patronus Charm. It's very simple in explanation, but the complexity comes from your abilities. It serves as a shield to the wizard or witch who casts it, and, in its strongest form, wipes away all of the Dementors in your sight. Now, what I want you to do is think of a happy memory. Both of you. Close your eyes."
