Harry - "That's good." Harry nodded, watching as vapor sputtered out of your wand. You turned and gave him a look that clearly said that you didn't believe him. "Really." He laughs at your expression. "You just need to think of a happier memory, and stop flourishing your wand so much."

"You make that sound so easy." You said as your arm fell to your side.

"Here I'll help you." He smiled and stood behind you. He placed one arm on your shoulder and the other on your wand arm, and helped you move your wand properly. From the moment that he touched your shoulder, you felt an electric sensation in your veins and that's when you knew that you liked him. How could he have that effect on you otherwise?

Ron - It was much easier being partnered with Hermione, because Hermione never lost concentration when levitating you, or doing any charm, spell, or curse for that matter. During one DA meeting, though, Dobby the house elf appeared, trying to warn the Harry that Professor Umbridge knew about the group and was on her way to the room of requirement. Chaos erupted as everyone tried to get out of the room at once. You let the news sink in. Umbridge knew, someone betrayed the group.
Suddenly, someone took your hand and pulled you out of the room and down the hall, where a group of Slytherin students, Filch, and Umbridge were waiting. You stared at Ron as he weaved in and out of the students and staff, never releasing his grip on your hand.
"Run!" Ron yelled as Filch appeared in front of you. "Get to the girl's bathroom."
He all but threw you down the hall, where you managed to crawl into the bathroom and lock yourself in a stall while Ron was surely being punished. It was in that moment that you realized that you liked Ron, when you were trying to figure out why he would help you get away when he could have gotten himself out of trouble instead.

Draco - "What?" You asked, slightly stunned at Draco's question. You had never thought about actually dating Draco, especially because you hadn't known him for very long, but when presented with the option...
"Do you want to go on a real date?" Draco repeated the question, looking at you expectantly. A smile formed on your face as you realized what had been right in front of you the whole time.
"I'd love to." You said confidently. Draco smiled and kissed your cheek. (AN: That's all, folks. Sorry, but Draco got a bigger explanation last time.)

Fred - For the entire week following the 'goop incident' you couldn't take your mind off of the fact that Fred Weasley had almost kissed you. You tortured yourself by thinking about what might have happened had you not run away. You didn't know why you couldn't just let it go. You did not want to kiss Fred. Or at least that's what you told yourself. But as the week came to an end, you were forced to realize that you like Fred Weasley.

George - You left the Weasley twins' store in a rush, only to realize that someone was following you. "Wait Y/N!" George called. You turned around impatiently and waited for him to say something, feeling extremely awkward.
"I'm sorry," George looked equally awkward, but pressed on. "I should have known that you're not the kind of person who would take anything for free. I just... I've liked you since our second year and I know we've never had a real conversation but,"
"It's okay." You cut him off. The realization suddenly hit you like a ton of bricks as you remembered how well you actually paid attention to George Weasley.

Neville - "Thank you." Neville said shyly as you returned to side after scolding Malfoy. "You didn't have to do that."
"Yes I did." You insisted. "He thinks he can get away with it because you don't stand up for yourself, but I will."
Neville looked down awkwardly, his cheeks tinged with pink. You looked away, also blushing suddenly. Was it possible that you had already fallen for this sweet, awkward boy before you? Very.

AN: Sorry its been so long since I put up a new part. I've had this one planned for a while, but it takes me a while to write it all down.
