Harry Potter x Reader

Chapter 24

Harry doesn't waste a minute. He quickly wraps his arms around you and kisses you back.

"I'm sorry." He whispered after pulling away. You rolled your eyes.

"Harry, the same thing happened to you. I could be apologizing too." You said. He shakes his head.

"But I let you defend me. If I had made you sit down, she would have left you alone." He said.

"Harry James Potter. I stood up for you because I wanted to. And if you had made me sit down, I would have screamed at you, too. She deserved it, and I'm okay." You say sternly.

"It's going to scar." Harry said, referring to your hand.

"I think that was her intention." You laughed. You looked at your hand again, it was still bleeding. So was Harry's.

"Let's go to Madame Pomfrey." Harry says. He drags you to the hospital wing.

"Oh dear, why are you two in here every year." She complains. Neither of you answer and show her your hands.

"Well, Dolores has given me orders not to stop the scarring, I'm sorry. She has permission from the Ministry. But I'll wrap them for you, to stop the bleeding." Madame Pomfrey says, her eyebrows furrowed.

Soon you and Harry leave, feeling a bit better.

"I'll see you tomorrow." You say to him. He frowns.

"We could hide out in the library... I can get my cloak." Harry smirks, not wanting to part from you. You smile.

"We really should sleep. I'll see you tomorrow, really." You say. Harry sighs, then grabs your bandaged hand, and gently kisses it.

"Until tomorrow, my lady." He jokes. You smile, and walk into your common room.

"(Y/n)! I want your opinion on an idea I had!" Hermione calls.

"Sure Hermione. What's up?" You ask as she catches up with you.

"Well we both know Umbridge won't let us use magic, and with you-know-who back, we need to learn defensive spells. Harry knows more than any of us, he should teach us." Hermione says.

"That's brilliant! But if Umbridge catches us..." You say. Hermione sighs.

"I know. I was hoping you had a solution to that. Well anyway, I'll go run it by Harry. Maybe you should come with me, he'll agree if you do." She teases. You laugh.

"Okay fine."

"Harry!" Hermione calls. She pulls him into an empty classroom. Ron had caught up with you all, and the three of you explained the plan to Harry.

"Hermione, no one even believes me about Voldemort! No one will want me to teach them. You heard Seamus." Harry sighs.

"Harry, your brilliant. You can produce a patronus! What 5th year can do that?" You try to encourage, but it doesn't work.

"No." Harry says. The three of you groan.

"Don't worry, I have a plan." Hermione whispers to you as you walk out. You nod, and promise you'll meet her after class.

"Hermione, I'm not tricking Harry!" You say.

"No no! You can still go on a date with him after!" She agrees. You groan.

Hermione had planned to get everyone who was interested to meet her in the Hogs Head. And her solution to getting Harry to show up: you. You had to ask him on a "date" and when the time came, it was actually going to be a meeting.
