Dan Howell and Phil Lester were your best friends. You had known Dan since you were children. You had grown up in the same town as him in Wokingham and both bonded over your abilities that no one else had. When you got your Hogwarts letters together, you were more excited than had ever been. You were both going to learn magic together. On they train you both met a pale Northern boy named Phil in an empty compartment. Throughout the long train ride you got to know each other and the two boys instantly connected. Dan had been sorted into Gryffindor, Phil into Hufflepuff and you in Slytherin. Even though the three of you were all sorted into different houses, it didn't stop you from becoming best friends with each other and spending an abnormal amount of time with one another.

Although the three of you were best friends, Dan and Phil always had a close bond. They acted differently between one another that they did with other people. You could see they liked each other, as more than just friends, but they both wouldn't admit it to you or themselves for that matter. You had been trying to get them together for at least 4 years now and in your 5th year you accepted the challenge to try an get them both to admit their feelings by the end of the year.

Being in Slytherin when your two best friends were in different houses, meant that not a lot of people really wanted to be friends with you. Weirdly enough, Draco Malfoy wasn't one of those people. He had been a close friend since you were sorted into Slytherin. Your close friendship with Dan and Phil sometimes made him a little bit jealous but at the end of the day, he was still your friend. Maybe that was why you didn't have many friends outside of Slytherin.

As you walked out of Charms with Phil, you saw Dan waiting against the wall opposite the door. "Hey Dan." Phil greeted cheerily with a wide smile on his face. You loved how bouncy and innocent he was. Especially around Dan.
"Hello. How was Charms?" He asked. Dan was rather awkward most of the time but he also had that sweet while confident persona about him. A lot like you, he was also the opposite of innocent. There wasn't a naive bone in his body. It was funny to see the obvious difference between the two boys.
You groaned as Dan looked away from Phil and towards you. "Boring. I hate Charms. I just want to do DADA and Potions all day." You complained as Dan chuckled.
"You are such a Slytherin." He joked.
You narrowed your eyes at your best friend in mock anger. "Hey. What's that supposed to mean?" You chuckled.

As the three of you walked to the library, Phil began to talk to the two of you about his favourite class, Care of Magical Creatures. He was discussing his most recent lesson and about all the different creatures he wished he had. As he spoke, you saw Dan staring intently at the older boy, clinging onto every word that left his mouth. He smiled at the softness of Phils voice and the way he got excited over a simple Bowtruckle.
Dan never hid the looks he gave Phil. It was as though he wanted his best friend to notice but didn't want to tell him directly. Phil on the other hand didn't give Dan 'love eyes' as much, but when he did, he never looked away.

When you all got to the library, the three of you sat at a desk with an empty seat next to you. Placing your books down, Phil began revising instantly while you set everything out and Dan just sat there with his bag on the desk. The brown haired boy was looking at Phil as he franticly wrote on his parchment before his ideas escaped from his head like Sirius Black from Azkaban. You sighed seeing that Dan just wanted his best friend to see him the same way.
You nudged Dans elbow, encouraging him to pry his eyes away from Phil. "Talk to him." You whispered so Phil wouldn't hear.
Dan looked confused. "What?"
You widened your eyes and looked over at a studying Phil. "Stop denying it. I know you like him. Now just talk to him. Please, otherwise you're just going to make yourself miserable." You told him in the same hushed tone.
Dan shook his head and looked down. "I can't. He's my best friend (Y/N). I can't risk it." He confided.
"At least talk to him like a friend then, instead of just looking at him for hours." You suggested.
Dan chuckled silently. "Fine."
He turned to Phil and poked his cheek. "Phiiiiiilllllll. Can you help me find a book. I can't remember which one Snape wanted us to use." Dan whined his excuse to get his crush to talk to him.
The black haired boy sighed but smiled. "Okay. Come on. We will be back in a minute (Y/N)." Phil informed you, as though you didn't know.
You just nodded as Dan smiled shyly at you and a light pink blush arose on his cheeks when Phil grabbed his hand to lead him to the relevant book shelf.

Being left alone, a certain platinum haired boy chose to sit in the spare seat beside you. "Afternoon (Y/L/N). Where's the Gryffindor? Thought I saw him here a second ago." He asked, looking around the nearby vicinity.
You rolled your eyes but still smiled. "Dan, has gone to find a book with Phil." You uttered quietly.
He nodded slowly. "I don't know why you hang out with those two." Draco spoke in a slightly louder voice to you.
You just shook your head, looking down at the parchment in front of you. "Well, I love them." You turned to him and stated, smiling.
Draco looked as though he was thinking for a second. "Are they... are they- you know? Going out?" He enquired, a considerable amount quieter than before.
You burst out laughing, but quickly covered your mouth shaking your head. "Unfortunately not. Although they should be. They like each other and they are both perfect for one another." You went one.
Your friend laughed. "Well they look like they are. It's actually rather sweet if I'm honest. Don't tell anyone I said that." He admitted.
You nodded in agreement.

The two boys returned with Dan still clinging to Phil with one hand but now holding an irrelevant potions book in his other. Upon seeing Draco sitting beside you, Dan swiftly release Phil's hand and held the tattered old book to his chest as he walked to sit the other side of you.
The two of them were silent as Phil resumed his charms homework and Dan just stared down at the closed book. "So?" You asked quietly.
Dan looked at you with a frown. "Does it look like I did anything?" He whisper shouted with bright red cheeks.
"Kind of, yeah." Draco piped up from the other side of you.
"W-what? Wh-what are you talking about?" Dan stuttered in horror.
Draco rolled his eyes and leant forward so Dan could see him. "Just ask him out already. He clearly likes you back. He's even gone to all that trouble to pretend he's not listening and doing charms homework which we didn't get given." Draco pointed out with a sly smirk. Phil head slowly lifted and his eyes looked only at you. "Told you." Draco stated, smiling triumphantly.

You looked between the two boys a few times before stopping on Dan and widening your eyes in encouragement. "He already knows. If you like him you may as well ask him out." You pushed knowing that the awkward boy wouldn't do it on his own accord.
He took a deep breath and turned to his best friend. "Um- so. Phil. I have kind of liked you for a while. I don't know if you knew that. But yes. I- um. Yes. I- I was. Well. I wondered if you might want to go out with me? You don't have to if you don't want, obviously- but I was just thinking, you know." Dan didn't look directly at Phil. His speech was an amalgamation of incoherent stutters and flustered rushed words.
Phil giggled as his pale complexion turned red. "Yes Dan. I would love to." He confirmed placing a sweet kiss on his best friends cheek, making Dan look into Phils eyes with a smile.
You had to suppress your excitement because you didn't want to get kicked out of the library, but instead you just franticly tapped and hit Draco's leg beside you in happiness. "(Y/N). Please stop slapping me. I know your excited but find another way to channel it please." He rubbed his leg as you grinned like and idiot.
