Will's P.O.V
I can't believe I'm almost out of here. I'm going back to Hogwarts for my Eighth Year. The last year. I already know what I want to do of course.
I've had a great run at Hogwarts, I knew the golden trio too, of course they were three years ahead of me but I've met them a couple times.
As I boarded the train I couldn't help but hope I find a good friend, maybe more than a friend. A boyfriend? Yeah yeah I'm gay get over it. There was this one boy... He probably doesn't even know I go to Hogwarts.
He's a Slytherin. But he's not an asshole. He's been in all my classes since I was a first year. He's actually quite nice. I've been loving him from afar for awhile.
I'm a Hufflepuff. we're probably never going to talk... Ever.
~~~~~~
I flop down on my bed. The feast was great. I saw the Slytherin boy again. He looks good as ever. Really dark brown hair, and black coffee eyes. He has a friend group of eight. Okay let's see, Reyna, another Slytherin, Percy a Gryffindor, Annabeth a ravenclaw, Piper a Gryffindor, Hazel his half sister and Frank her boyfriend both Hufflepuffs like me. Then Jason a Slytherin and Leo a Gryffindor.
I'm not a stalker I swear, I'm just really good friends with Hazel and Frank.
His name is Nico Di Angelo, and I have a tremendous crush on him.
"Hey Will," a couple people say when they see me laying in bed. Might as well try and get some sleep.
My first class is.... Herbology. I walk across the field with Hazel and Frank. Before we reach class I pull Hazel aside.
"Can we talk for a minute?" I ask.
"Of course what's up Will?" She says.
"Well um, you know your brother, well I kinda have like a... Um ... Huge crush on him. Is is he um gay too." I scratch the back of my neck and look down.
"Oh my gods, oh my gods! You like Nico?" She looks up at me and jumps up and down.
"Shh! Yes." I hiss at her.
She takes my face in her hands and swishes.
"Awwwweee, okay so, Nico is hella gay, and he stares at you all the time. Jason and Annabeth tease him about it. Ask him out!!" She squeals and jumps up to hug me. I hug back and I can't help but smile.
"Thank you so much Hazel." I say.
"Oh any time Will!!" She says. Then out of the corner of my eye I see him. He walks up to us.
"Hey um Hazel, hi Will, madam sprout is about to start class come on." He says blushing a little and walking into the green house.
HE KNOWS MY NAME OH MY LORDDDDD. AND HE LIKES ME.
Herbology is pretty boring. Nico is passed out sitting at a table.
"Mr. Di Angelo! Wake up." Sprout says hitting the desk next to him. He puts his head up. Groans and puts it back down. She rolls her eyes and continues.
~~~~~~~~
I walk back to the Hufflepuff common room. Then I hear someone call my name. I turn around. Shit. It's them.
Okay so, I might have a little problem with bullies. And that's just who these people are. A Slytherin and A ravenclaw. These two boys, they just pick on me because they can, also because I'm gay.
The Slytherin shoves me down. The Ravenclaw laughs. They talk me down. I get up and brush myself off.
"What's your problem?!" I yell.
"You!" The Slytherin says and shoves me down again.
"Hey!" Someone yells. I look in the direction. Nico runs in between me and the two guys. He pulls his wand. He puts it to his fellow Slytherin. "I dare you two to do this ever again I'll snap you in half." He says in a angry voice making the two boys back away and then run in fear.
Why does he care so much? He turns around and smiles at me sadly. Oh god, Nico Di Angelo never smiles, this is the first time I've ever seen him smile... And he's smiling at me.
"Oh my god thank you so much!" I gush. He sticks his hand out to help me up. Even though I'm like a foot or more taller than his he's super strong.
"No problem." He says walking forwards closer to me. He reaches up on his toes and whispers in my ear. "Meet me in the fourth corridor after lights out okay?" He turns back around and before I can say anything he points his wand at a shadow and steps into it and disappears. But not before he glanced back at me.
Oh my god, oh my GOD.
Once I get back to common room everyone's asleep. So I lie down. I wait 10 minutes before heading back out.
All of Hogwarts is dark. I only have my wand to light my way to the fourth corridor.
"Lumos nox!" I repeat every couple minutes.
Then I get three I call out to him, "Nico!"
"Glad you could make it William." He says "I wanna show you something." He takes my hand and start to walk fast. Fast into a wall. Darkness swirls around me and then I'm in... I'm in the Hogwarts kitchen. That is filled with house elf's.
"Nico!" A little one with HUGE blue eyes says.
"Hello Ella." He smiles down at her.
"Hash browns!" One says cheerfully to Nico.
"Yes please." Then the little elf skimmers off.
"So do you remember Hermione Granger's Free the House Elf campaign? S.P.E.W?" Nico asks patting one of their heads.
I laugh, "yes"
"Well, I'm helping keep it going." He says.
"I think that's wonderful." I say sweetly and smile at him.
"Here you go Mr. Nico." The elf says holding up a platter overflowing with hash browns.
"Come here you guys" he says. He gets down on his knees and opens his arms. They all skerry over to him and they all group hug.
"That's not very Slytherin of you." A voice calls from behind us. Nico stands up and looks.
The voice was Reyna. The girl Perfect for Slytherin.
"Shouldn't you be asleep?" Nico asks.
"Why are you alone with him." Reyna asks pointing at me but not looking.
Nico scuffs and turns around. "Goodnight you guys! See you tomorrow!" He says then turning back around.
He grabs my hand again. I feel like I've just been struck with lightning.
"Let's go Will." He leads the way. Platter in his other hand. We brush past Reyna.
"What was that?" I ask him. He shakes his head.
"Don't know don't care." Then he walks into another wall and then we're on the roof.
"How do you do that?!" I question.
"I'm gifted." He smirks. We sit down on the roof and we look and the stars. It's beautiful outside tonight. The moon so very bright.
"I think it's amazing what your doing, following Hermione's old campaign. They were so excited to see you."
"Yeah I guess. Hash brown?" He places the platter down and I take one. We sit in silence eating hash browns.
"Nico, can I ask you something?"
"Sure. What's up?"
"Why did you stick up for me? Why did you bring me here?"
"Well, I like you. I like you a lot. And... I don't know."
"Well I like you too. Will you um... Be my umm."
"Yes." He replies. I lay down. He lies down. We inch closer, and closer 'till we're an inch apart. Then we both lean in and our lips meet. We stay like that for a good ten seconds.
We break apart and look at each other. The the hash browns start to slip off the roof.
"Shit my hash browns!" He yells. I cover his mouth and shush him. We start to laugh as we look down six stories to where out hash browns are in bits and pieces.
We grab hands and lie back down. Shoulder to shoulder and just watch the stars. This is the most peaceful thing I've ever done. And it's with the boy of my dreams. I couldn't be happier.
We stay like that for at least an hour until he gets up. He grabs my hand. "Come on let's get back. It's late and we have class in the morning." He says.
"Okay." I say quietly and follow him. I'm still kinda in a daze.
Once we get to the Hufflepuff dorm we stop and look at each other. He hugs me. I'm a little shocked at first then I squeeze him back. We hug for about a minute.
He releases me and I bend down and and peck his cheek.
"Goodnight." I say and start to turn around but he catches my arm.
He wraps his arms around my neck and melts his lips to mine and I'm more than happy to kiss back.
"Goodnight." He says, he takes a few steps back and waves, letting the shadows of the dark hallway engulf him.
