HARRY POTTER X READER one-shots [COMPLETE]

Snowball Fight (Percy)

UGH I can't find good images for Percy Weasley :( But here's a super short story, I really don't know how I'm going to find time updating requests so PLEASE be patient. :) And I'm going to stop putting up the guides unless there's specific reason to. By now you should know what (Y/N) means. :)

You huffed another sigh as you pulled your Defense Against the Dark Arts essay towards you, dipping your quill into the ink pot, and began to write. Snow was falling softly outside the windows of your common room, and outside you could make out a few students engaging themselves either in building snowmen or having an all-out snowball fight. A faint smile made its way to your lips, seeing your younger house mates having fun--Harry, Ron, Hermione, even Fred and George were out there goofing off and laughing as snowball after snowball was thrown in the air and hit the others, reminding you of your own childhood and how you used to have snowball fights all the time with your old friends.

"Missing it out there, aren't you?"

You turned around now to see Percy Weasley glancing over at you with a wistful expression on his face, and nodded. Percy's in your year at Hogwarts--sixth, now--and he became one of your closest friends and confidants through the years. But what you didn't know was that despite him hanging out with Penelope Clearwater from Ravenclaw, he had developed a serious crush on you. 

"Yeah," you admitted. "If only I can actually get out of this stupid essay Lockhart wanted us to write. But alas, that's not possible, is it?"

"You can do it," Percy encouraged you, his eyes piercing through you. "I'm not giving up on you. You're tough. And you're one of the top students in our class! What is it you can't do?"

These words of encouragement made you grin as you picked up your quill. "Thanks, Percy," you managed to say, and quickly ducked down to look at your parchment again to hide the slight crimson blush that was forming on your cheeks. Yes, you too were developing feelings for the Gryffindor prefect, but you decided not to say anything yet. What you didn't notice was Percy's cheeks burning in return.

Within half an hour, you managed to surpass the one-foot length that Lockhart asked for, writing an impressive one and a half foot of essay on your parchment. Smiling, you rolled it up and put it away in your bag, turning to Percy who just had a mischievous idea going on in his head. 

"Get your coat on," Percy told you.

"What--why?" you asked.

"Just do it!" he grinned cheekily, and you nodded as you went to your dormitory, put your cloak and gloves on, and came back.

Percy nodded as he grabbed your hand, lead you quickly through the corridors, and pulled you out into the courtyard with you, where you saw his younger brothers and their friends still in "snowball war". 

"OY!" Fred cried, nudging George. "There goes Percy and his crush!"

"OOH! If only!" George chuckled. 

You, in the meanwhile, only cocked your eyebrows upwards. "Oh you want some?" In one swift movement, you balled up some snow in your hands and aimed it at Fred, chucking it as hard as you could in his direction. A smack on the back indicated that your ammunition has hit its target, and you grinned cheekily, knowing what Percy was up to.

"HEY!" 

Soon, it was between you and the twins as the three of you ran around the courtyard, pelting snow here and there. Percy gazed at you and your running form, feeling his heart leap unconsciously to his throat. Seeing you running like this, having fun for the first time in his living memory...a smile started to grow on his face.

"Uh, Percy?" His youngest brother, Ron, piped up. "You very rarely smile this widely since you got your prefect's badge..."

"Ron!" Percy cried, laughing as he picked his little brother up and spun him around as if he was a girl. "You don't see, do you? You don't see?"

Ron shook his head. "What is it I'm supposed to see?"

Percy only chuckled as he put Ron down, ran after you, and tackled you by the waist, lifting you up in the air and twirling you around, bringing the both of you in harmonious laughter. 

"I KNEW IT!" George cried, pumping his fist in the air as he balled another snowball together and threw it hard at you.

"HEY!" you cried as the snowball hit your side, and Percy eventually put you down as you sent another snowball flying in the twins' direction, making them run for their lives as you came up with more, and more, and more...with Percy's help, that was...

"RUN!" Harry called out, and soon everyone retreated back inside, while you and Percy kept your cold ammunition going until they fully disappeared into the castle, leaving you and Percy in the courtyard all by yourselves. The snow kept floating and falling gently, and you smiled as you brushed the snowflakes away from your hair.

"No, don't," Percy whispered, going over to you and lifting a gloved hand to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. "They suit you."

This compliment surprised you. "R-really?"

Percy nodded. "Yeah," he whispered. 

You only smirked as his own red hair started to gather with the puffy snowflakes, but you decided to say nothing as you both continued to stare at each other, feeling more and more awkward as time passed.

"Uh, Percy...?"

Percy shook his head as he opened his arms and embraced you. Shock ran through you before you eventually wrapped your arms around him in return, listening to his pounding heartbeat in his chest as you closed your eyes, soaking his warmth amidst the cold air that surrounded you.

"(Y/N)," Percy murmured. 

"Mm?" You glanced up at him, eyes wide.

Percy said nothing. He just stared at you, taking in your beauty among the white backdrop, eyes flickering from your eyes to your lips before he began to lean in to your face, and you closed your eyes as you awaited what was to come. 

And then it happened. 

Soft lips planted on your own, capturing you in a very gentle kiss. Hesitantly, you closed your eyes and kissed him back, unable to believe what was happening. Is he--he is! Which probably meant...you smiled into the kiss now as you felt him move you through the gentle and blissful moment, your lips pulling apart and colliding in perfect synchronization. At one point, a snowflake landed in between your lips and melted, making you smirk even further.

"But..." you murmured after you let go. "I thought you liked Penelope."

Percy laughed as he stroked your face once with his thumb. "No. Penelope and I...we're friends, very close friends in fact. But not anything else. Nothing more." He hesitated as he pulled his hand away from your face. "I had my eyes on you all this time, (Y/N). And you're more than just a friend to me, in my eyes."

This moved you to the point where you felt like throwing your arms around Percy again, which you did. "Percy, thank you. I...I love you. In more than a friend way."

"Me too, (Y/N)," Percy murmured into your hair. "Me too."

However, that moment didn't last very long. Soon, another snowball hit Percy on the arm, making him turn around to see the twins again, snickering.

"SERIOUSLY?" you and he cried at the same time.

The twins looked at each other in horror, as did Harry, Ron and Hermione. "Oops," they murmured as you and Percy made your own snowballs. And you kept up your snowball war for a very long time.

Kinda short, I know. :P But might as well, for those who like Percy Weasley. I don't, personally, he's a bit toooooo serious in my opinion. But WHATEVER. I just wanted to try my hand at someone else, anyway, for a while.
