~ Harry ~

So trying something a little different here ~ enjoy :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You had a rough day of classes, Professor Snaps just wouldn't lay off, and Draco and his group of cronies were just so bloody annoying, so needless to say you were done. All you wanted to do was to run back to your dorm, jump into bed, and sleep for a week. Even getting back to the dorm was terrible. You got stuck twice on moving stairs, ended up outside of Professor Dumbledore's office, had to go down two more flights of stairs, narrowly avoided another encounter with Draco, and the Fat Lady took forever to let you into the common room. Finally, you dragged yourself inside and up to your bed. Landing face first on the mattress, you planned to stay where you were forever. That "forever" lasted about 2 minutes.
"Y/n...? Oh! There you are, I've been looking all over for you. I was told to... Are you alright?" Hermione's voice said somewhere behind you. Rolling ever so slightly, you peeked up at her.
"I'm fine. I'm just tired and I refuse to move ever again."
"Well I'm not here to make you get up but I do have a note from you. I swear I didn't read it."
You sat up and took the note from her outstretched hand. Opening the envelope, you found a small piece of paper.
Meet me in the Astronomy Tower. 12:00. Keep it a secret. <3
Checking both sides of the parchment, you realized whoever wrote it didn't write their name.
"Hermione!" You yelled. A few seconds later her head stuck back inside the door.
"What?" She said.
"Who gave you this note?"
"Well you see, Ginny gave it to me and Ron gave it to her, and Ron said that Parvati was passing it down from Luna who got it from..."
"Hermione," you said cutting her off, "do you know where this came from? Who wrote it?"
"Err.. no. I don't know. I never actually asked"
Sighing, you lied back on your bed. Hermione mumbled a quick sorry before she left the room. What if it's a trap to get pranked or something? I have no idea who wrote it, you thought, I just won't go. That settles it. Lying back on the bed, you tried to doze off.
•••••••••
11:40. Tossing and turning, you couldn't fall asleep. The note was making you nervous, worried that someone was trying to prank you or get you into trouble. You're nerves had won out over hunger earlier, causing you to stay back from dinner, a decision you regret now as your stomach growled. But now it's 20 minutes away from when your supposed to sneak up to the Astronomy Tower, and you still can't shake the curious feeling, wanting to know who the notes from.
•••••••••
11:52. Your curiosity won. Deciding at last that you would go, you slipped out off bed. Careful not to wake any one sleeping, you creep down to the common room and out the door. Moving as slow and careful as possible, you navigated the halls and staircases. Finally reaching the Astronomy tower, you took a deep breath and climbed up.
••••••••••
Reaching the top of the tower, you noticed a person standing up there as well. With the moonlight on their back, the shadow cast on the front side of them was so great you couldn't tell who it was.
Until they stepped out of the shadow.
"Harry...?" You asked surprised.
"I was beginning to think you weren't coming," he said smiling.
"Well, I wasn't going to... it would have helped if you signed the note!"
"But that would take away from the fun... and I was afraid you wouldn't come if you knew it was me," he mumbled, looking down.
You laughed and walked over to him, "Of course I would have come. I was hoping it was you who sent me the note, you know."
He looked up, surprised, "really?"
You nodded.
"Well in that case," he said grabbing your hand, "I may have set this up for you."
He brought you over to a cute little picnic for two under the stars. There was some pastries and candy from the kitchen. There was also two bottles of butterbeer, which definitely didn't come from the kitchen. In the center of the blanket sat a cute little candle and a rose. You looked over, shocked, at Harry, who's face was as red as Ron's hair.
"You did this for me?" You whispered.
He took your hands in his and said "y/n, I've had a crush on you since you knocked over my ink pot in transfiguration last year, I've just been too nervous to tell you."
Beaming, you wrapped your arms around him, "I wish you told me sooner," you whispered.
"I wish I did too," he chuckled.
Letting go, he pulled you over to the picnic.
••••••••••
"... so really they weren't that hard to swipe," Harry finished.
You laughed, shaking your head at him, as he finished telling you about how he swiped the butterbeers from Hogsmeade. 
"You're bloody crazy for doing that!" You said laughing.
He pulled you into his side, to which you gladly melted into his embrace.
"Anything for you," he whispered.
You chuckled, thinking he was still talking about the butterbeers.
"I'm serious y/n."
You looked up at him, a smile forming on your lips.
"Will you... be my girlfriend? He said quietly.
You stayed silent for a moment, to surprised to speak.
Harry took that as uncertainty from you, "I mean, only if you want to... you don't have to... I was just asking... but if you don't want to I understand." He said quickly.
You giggled, "don't be ridiculous, of course I'd love to be your girlfriend."
Harry's face broke into a smile as he pulled you closer, pressing a kiss to the top of your head.
The two of you snuggled together watching the stars, it was completely perfect in your mind.
I'm so glad I actually came tonight, you thought, dozing off into Harry's chest.
