Harry Potter x Reader

Chapter 14

Sirius Black had gotten into the school. Everyone panicked and you were all forced to sleep in the dining hall. You had set up your bed next to Harry.

"Are you okay?" You asked. He nodded.

"Are you?" He asked. You nodded.

You both fell silent. You were about to fall asleep when you felt Harry grip your hand tightly. You smiled, and drifted off into a dream.

Harry was devastated. He couldn't manage to get to Hogsmede.

"Harry, I'll just stay with you. It's okay." You said as Harry sat on the stairs outside in defeat.

"No (y/n). I can't let you do that. Maybe by the next trip I can convince McGonagall to let me go." He sighed.

"Are you sure?" You asked him again. He nodded.

"Okay Harry. I'll see you when we get back." You smiled, then ran to catch up with Hermione and Ron.

You turned around and saw Fred and George Weasley pretending to drag something back to the castle. Then you saw the footprints in the snow, and smiled. Of course Harry would try to sneak in.

You kept going with Hermione and Ron, but you kind of felt like a third wheel. Not that Hermione and Ron were having a lot of fun. They were extremely awkward without Harry. It was actually kind of funny.

You sat on the ground as they stared at the shrieking shack. You were getting really bored.

"Hey." You hear. You turned to find the source of the voice, but no one was there.

Suddenly something pulled a lock of your hair.

"Harry!" You whispered. You heard a laugh and felt him sit down next to you.

"They like each other don't they." You whisper again, referring to Ron and Hermione. Harry laughs.

"Yeah probably. They just don't realize it yet." He says. Suddenly you see Draco coming up the hill. He starts making fun of Ron and Hermione, but he leaves you alone. You suddenly realize Harry is no longer next to you, and laugh hysterically as snowballs are hurled at the bullies.  As soon as Draco runs for his life, he starts messing with Ron, who turns pale.

"Harry!" Hermione giggled, and Harry finally revealed himself.

You were kind of upset, you were enjoying your alone time with him, but you got over it.

You all decided to walk back towards the town, and you see Madame Rosemerta, a bartender at the three broomsticks, with the minister and some teachers at school. They were talking about Sirius Black.

"Shh." You hear, and suddenly Harry wraps you and himself in his cloak, and follows them into the three broomsticks.

You tried to listen to the conversation, but you were very distracted by how close you were to Harry. You finally were able to focus, and learned that Sirius Black had killed Harry's parents, and was his godfather!

Harry practically drags you out of there, and once your out, he almost pushes you out of his cloak and runs away. You follow his footsteps, Hermione and Ron right behind you. Harry ran into the woods, and you could hear his sniffling.

"Harry?" You ask, and reach out to find him. You feel the cloak in your hand and pull it off him, and your heart shatters when you see his tear stained face.

"He was their friend. He was their friend and he betrayed them. HE WAS THEIR FRIEND!" Harry screamed in anger. He was sobbing on your shoulder once you sat next to him. You held him close. You felt so bad for him. You wanted to understand his pain but you just couldn't.

Hermione and Ron had left at one point, probably wanting to leave you two alone. Harry was still crying, but he had calmed down a little.

"I'm sorry." He finally croaked.

"No. There's nothing to be sorry for." You said, pulling him into another hug.
