DATE PUBLISHED: APRIL 29, 2018

sorry for another month hiatus. school sucks major dick, man.

"I swear, I will find you a date."

"Oh my god, Hermione, stop."

Y/N and Hermione were laying on the floor of the Gryffindor girls dormitory, talking about the Yule Ball.

"Everyone else has a date besides you, so..."

"Who says I need one?" Y/N jumped up to her feet and proudly placed her hands on her hips. "I am a strong independent woman, my dear, who doesn't need a man."

Hermione smirked and got to her feet as well. "Even if that man was Harry Potter?"

Y/N's eyes widened for a split second, before rolling them. "Psh, as if."

"Oh really?" Hermione leaned against the bed frame, the smirk still etched in her lips. "So have you been making googly eyes at someone else?" Y/N rolled her eyes again in an effort to hide her emotions. "I haven't been making googly eyes at anyone." She muttered, fiddling with the bed sheets.

Hermione just shook her head and sat on the bed. "Ok, say you haven't. But you cannot deny the fact that you are an avid sleep talker." Y/N froze, and Hermione laughed. "Oh Harry, of course I'll go to the Ball with you! Oh Harry, kiss me!" Hermione spun around the room as she mocked Y/N, giggling. "Mwah!"

Y/N huffed. "Ok, so what if I like him?"

~~~

"Ok, so what if I like her? It's not a big de-"

"YESSSSSS!"

Ron was jumping around the boys dormitory in glee. Clearly it was a big deal for him.

"I knew it!" He exclaimed. "I fuckin' knew it! You like Y/N!!"

Harry nervously looked around the room, some boys were staring. "Alright, easy, easy." Harry said hurriedly. "I don't want the whole house to know." Ron smiled sheepishly, his cheeks turning rosy. "Sorry." He said shyly. His smile was still full of excitement. "But you like Y/N!" He whispered, waving his hands around. Harry rolled his eyes and copied his friend's excitement. "Whatever!" He said, causing Ron to huff.

Harry trudged to the door in hopes to wave off Ron's persistence, but his hopes were crushed, for Ron followed him out the door. 

"You have to ask her to the ball." Ron insisted.

"I don't have to." Harry argued. He wanted to, though. Really badly. He was head over heels for Y/N, but he was petrified about being heartbroken.

"Well, you need to have someone as a date." Ron continued, and Harry rolled his eyes.

"Maybe."

And with that, Harry scampered out of the Gryffindor common room, wanting to escape Ron.

"Where's he off to in such a hurry?" Hermione asked Ron, walking up beside him. 

"I'm trying to get him a date to the Yule Ball." He huffed, crossing his arms. Hermione nodded. "I'm in the same situation."

"He is so infatuated with Y/N, you know, but he's too afraid to ask her to the ball."

Hermione gasped. "He is?"

Ron looked at her in confusion. "Yeah, he is."

Hermione smiled widely. "Come on, Ron!" She exclaimed, taking ahold of his arm. "We've got work to do." And with that, Hermione dragged a blushing Ron out of the common room.

~~~

"Thank you for getting me a date with Parvati." Harry whispered. It was the day of the Yule Ball, and all the boys were lined up in the Gryffindor common room, waiting for their dates to come down the stairs. "I wouldn't have wanted to dance the Champion's Waltz alone."

"You could've just asked Y/N." Ron whispered harshly, and Harry sent him a glare.

The girls finally started filling down the staircase. Harry caught sight of Parvati, and began to make his way towards her, but she hurried off to a Ravenclaw boy. Harry, stared at the two for a moment in confusion, before everything started to make sense.

Harry had his teeth clenched and he slowly turned around. "Ron..."

"Oh no!" Ron gasped, clearly in faux dismay. "I could've sworn I asked Parvati..."

"Harry?" 

He turned around, and suddenly, the whole world softened. His clenched jaw went slack, his heart was beating rapidly, Y/N was the only one that mattered.

"You seem a bit flustered."

"Err.." Harry gulped. "No-not really." Harry's anger came back as his eyes landed on Ron.

"Harry's mad because he doesn't have a date." Ron said with a shrug, and Harry blushed slightly. "Shut up." He muttered.

An awkward silence fell over them, before Hermione coughed loudly and jabbed Y/N with her elbow. 

Y/N gulped and avoided eye contact with Harry. "If you want, I could be your date..."

Harry was left wide eyed and silent, and Y/N got nervous.

"O-Or you don't have to! It was only a suggestion, I-"

"No," Harry placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'd love to."
