You were so sleepy , your eyes seem like lead as they closed without intention. You stifle a yawn and try to blink your sleep away. The monotonous lecture of the potions master was something that you just couldn't seem to focus on in this sleep riddled state .But then you sit up straight suddenly as the potions master calls out your name." Miss y/n , can you just tell me the method of preparing the potion which we discussed right now ?" He asked. Oh no, you think. You feel flustered and are unable to answer the question properly . The potions master's expression turned grim as he said '5 points from Gryffindor. Now is there anyone else who could answer me?'he asks as he looks around the class. A hand shoots up straight into the air.' Yes, Mr. Kim Namjoon' the teacher says.Namjoon stands up and answers his strong voice booming .'5 points to Ravenclaw' the professor proclaims.
But your mind was elsewhere, you were still look at Namjoon even after he had sat down. You watched him as he brushed his hair from his eyes. Then you turn back your concentration to the ongoing class. You felt like someone was looking at you as you turn slightly to see that Namjoon staring right at you!. As soon as he caught sight of you looking at him he turned away abruptly. Your face feels hot but you manage to shake it off for that moment.
After the potions class was over you make a beeline for the transfiguration class , but a hand wraps around your arm gently stopping you. It was Namjoon holding your arm. You look at him.' Hey Uhm y/n will you go to the ball with me?'he asks a bit sheepishly. You couldn't believe what what you were hearing. "Kim Namjoon .... Ravenclaw.... Handsome guy asked me out? " you think in shock. But you manage to tell him yes with a somewhat embarassed smile. He smiles and you see his cute dimple come out. Just the sight of it melted your heart. He waves goodbye as you head for your next class.
One week later:
It was finally here- the day of the ball!. Your heart is in your throat as you walk down the stairs to The Great Hall. You and Namjoon had only spoken little when you both had seen each other at class but it was nice talking to him. You always felt this electricity everytime you spoke. It was strange this feeling, but you like it.
Distracted by these thoughts, you almost lose your footing on the stairs but you put a hand out managing to steady yourself.
Soon you reach the end of the stairwell and you see Namjoon waiting for you dressed handsomely in a black suit. His eyes sparkle as soon as he sees you. He then walks gracefully to the stairs and holds your hands as you reach the last step.
You were wearing a beautiful red dress with your hair pinned up with a bejewelled pin set which greatly contrasted with your black hair. He leans close to you and says ' You look beautiful today....I mean you look beautiful everyday!'You smile amused but still charmed by his nervous stuttering and you reply ' You're not too bad yourself' as you both walk inside The Great Hall. Then he pulls you for a dance. You both sway from side to side and you couldn't help but feel that it was right. He looks at you and clears his throat and says ' y/n I've loved you for many years. I just didn't have the courage to tell you'. You are shocked by the words that come out of his mouth.' I've loved you for a long time too Namjoon' you whisper. He leans close to you so that it blocked out everything else. Then he leaned forward and softly kissed you, gentle and sweet.
All these thoughts..- no memories, run through your mind while walking down the platform in Kings Cross. Your arm is linked through your husband's arm and you hold the hand of your daughter. Your daughter was now 11 years old and it will be her first time at hogwarts the same place you found the true love of your life, Namjoon. He looks at you knowingly and places a kiss on your forehead before pushing his spectacles up the bridge of his nose.
As you wave good bye to your daughter you can't help the sense of nostalgia that washes over as you relive those beautiful moments you had at hogwarts. Namjoon holds your hand as he also waves goodbye and it just makes you smile thinking about a boy who finally found courage and the girl who said yes.
