Harry Potter AUS

Whoever She Wants//Harry//

    My jaw dropped and my heart sunk.

Draco Malfoy, my boyfriend of three weeks, was full on making out with Pansy Parkinson.

Not again. I couldn't deal with this again.

With tears blurring my vision and a new-found desire to throw up, I ran out of the library. I didn't even know where I was going, I just knew I had to get out of there.

When Harry Potter, my best friend, found me, I was trying (and failing) to not cry in a corner of the common room.

He didn't even say anything - he just pulled me into a tight hug, and I started to feel better.

Harry had always given better hugs than Draco anyways.

"Draco and Pansy again?" Harry finally asked.

I just nodded into his chest, and he pulled me closer.

He held me for a long time, and for once, I didn't even stop to think if Draco would care.

I had been ignoring Draco for three days when he finally came over to the Gryffindor table at dinner. I was sitting with Harry, of course, and had actually been enjoying myself. But of course, he had to change that.

"y/n, why are you sitting with him?" he asked with a sneer in my friends' direction.

"Because I'm friends with him," I snapped, "and because I don't want to sit with a cheater."

He crossed his arms. "Sorry. Maybe you should try harder the next time we have sex. Then I wouldn't need other girls."

I gasped, but before I could reply, Harry stepped in. "What is your problem, Malfoy?"

He glared at Harry. "Excuse me, but I was talking to my girlfriend."

"So? You can't treat her like that!"

"She's mine. I can treat her however I want."

I wanted to slap the smirk right off of Draco's face, but I would've been in detention for the rest of my Hogwarts career. So I did the next best thing.

"Not any more. We're breaking up."

Draco's amused expression was quickly replaced by one of anger. He opened his mouth with some dumb retort, but Harry stopped him.

"Malfoy," Harry said, "y/n is a person. She does not belong to anyone, and she should be with whoever she wants. Thank god she finally realized how stupid she was being when she chose to date you."

Draco scowled at us, but for once, had nothing to say and quickly left the Great Hall.

I turned to Harry, intending to thank him. But 'thank you' wasn't even close to the words that came out of my mouth. "You know, Harry, you're right. I was being stupid when I decided to date Draco. I should've picked someone who I actually would want to date. Someone like you."

And before I could regret my speech, I leaned in and kissed him hard on the lips.

Turns out Harry was a better kisser than Draco, too.
