Butterflies ~ Harry Potter

Having Professor Umbridge at Hogwarts was hell; she created ridiculous rules that everyone had to follow and made students who didn't abide by those rules go into detention, where you would spend an hour writing sentences with her blood quills.

Since Umbridge refused to teach the students how to defend themselves, Harry created Dumbledore's Army, which you gladly signed up for.

Today, Harry was teaching everyone the Patronus Charm

"Think of a memory, make it a happy one; the happiest you can remember. Allow it to fill you up!" Harry said, walking around the room.

He went around the room, helping everyone conjure their patronus.

"Expecto Patronum!" You yelled, but nothing came out of your wand. You let out a sigh and leaned against the wall.

"Come on, (Y/N), you can do this," Harry said gently.

You looked up at him. "I can't. I can't think of a happiest memory," you groaned.

"Yes, you can. You just have to focus. Come here." Harry stood behind you and held his hand over yours whilst his other was on your hip. He raised your arm so that you were pointing your wand ahead of you. Your stomach began to fill with butterflies.

"Now, focus," he whispered.

You closed your eyes and tried to think, but had a hard time focusing because of Harry.

Before the meetings, you hadn't said much to him; just stolen glances and polite smiles. But ever since you joined Dumbledore's Army, you and Harry had grown very close.

You would sit with him and his friends at dinner, walk with him to classes, and sit and talk after the DA meetings.

But, as much as you enjoyed being friends with him, you wanted to be more.

You began to giggle.

"You're laughing! Focus on what is making you laugh!" Harry said excitedly.

"Expecto Patronum!" You shouted.

Suddenly, streams of blue poured from the tip of your wand and began to form a butterfly that fluttered around you and Harry, causing you to giggle again.

"I did it!" You beamed, turning to face Harry.

"Brilliant job, (Y/N)!" Harry smiled. You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him into a hug.

Harry looked over and saw Hermione giving him a look as if to say "you should tell her already."

Because, what you didn't know, was that Harry had started to grow a crush on you as well.

"Okay, everyone, great job today!" Harry said.

Everyone began to leave, but you stayed, and stared at the picture of the Order that was hung up. Harry came over and stood next to you.

"Are you alright?" Harry asked, putting a hand on your shoulder.

"Yeah, I just..." You looked down at the ground.

"I hope I make them proud," you said softly, looking back at the picture. Your parents were in the Order and were killed by a Death Eater.

"(Y/N)," Harry placed his other hand on your other shoulder and turned you to face him. "Your parents would be overwhelmingly proud of you if they were here right now."

"You think so?" You asked, gazing up at him.

"I know so," he answered, giving you a smile.

"Harry? What happy memory did you use?" You asked.

"I thought of my parents. What about you?"

"Now mine is gonna sound completely stupid," you laughed, turning away from him.

"I thought of you, funnily enough." You stated.

Harry's face began to turn pink. "Me? What did I do?"

"You noticed me... After all these years, no one has noticed me, except for you..." You confessed, beginning to turn pink yourself.

Harry gazed at you, completely speechless.

"You make me feel like I belong here," you croaked.

"(Y/N), I-uh-I-"

"It's okay, Harry. I know you don't like me the way I like you, but I just-"

"Says who?"

Your eyes became wide. "W-what?"

Harry moved a strand of hair away from your face and cupped your face in his hand. Your heart began to race as he placed his other hand on the small of your back and pulled you towards him.

Suddenly, his mouth was against yours, and you felt immediate sparks.

The kiss was slow and sweet and left you breathless when you both pulled away.

A smirk made its way onto your lips as you gazed up at him.

"See you at the next meeting," you winked, placing a kiss on Harry's cheek and leaving the room of requirement.
