Today had been one of the longest days of your life. It seemed like every class had assigned homework and time was ticking. After having dinner with a few friends, you had spent the rest of the night placed at your desk doing the load of work. 

You found your concentration faltering as you reread the past few paragraphs from a textbook. You knew if you spent any longer in your dorm, it'd stay that way so you decided to pack everything in your bag and head to the common room. It was around ten on a tuesday night so there would hardly be anyone in there meaning you wouldn't be bothered. As you were nearing the bottom of the stairs quietly to avoid disrupting other people in their dorms, you heard a few voices talking. 

You stopped as you recognized the sound of one of your friends saying your name. It was Ron.

"Mate what is stopping you from going up to her dorm right now and just confessing your undying love for her?" Ron exclaimed, agitation evident in his voice.

"MERLIN! Do you not hear how insane that sounds? It's not as easy as you make it sound you fool" Someone who you believed to be Harry replied. To say you were shocked was an understatement. Ecstatic yes because ironically, you also had a strong liking towards Harry. You just couldn't believe he was admitting to it right infront of you. You never planned to really pursue him considering he always called you a friend and didn't seem to show as much interest romantically.

"If it's so easy to you, why don't you go tell Hermione how you fancy her huh?" Harry egged on earning a scoff from Ron.

"Okay first off, I do not fancy Hermione. Have you gone mad?! Second off, this isn't even about me. If I have to hear you talk about how perfect her hair falls across her shoulders or how beautiful her (y/e/c) eyes are, I'm gonna vomit" Ron argued and you couldn't help but quietly laugh at this interaction between the two lads, totally oblivious to your presence. 

Just before Harry was about to make some remark towards his redheaded best friend, you purposely stomped on the last step to let them become aware of your presence.

"(Y/N)! How pleasant it is to see you" Ron said smirking, looking over at Harry who's cheeks had turned a light shade of pink.

"Hey boys, why are you guys up?" you questioned, walking over to them and placing your hands on the top of one of the chairs as you waited for a response.

"Just talking about random things, school work, quidditch... Harry's crush" Ron said, whispering the last part but you pretended not to hear as Harry quickly nudged Ron in the ribs making him wince.

"What was the last thing Ron?" You asked, trying to act innocent.

"He said Potions class" Harry quickly replied, not even letting Ron get the chance to open his mouth.

"Oh okay" you said and began to walk away.

"Where are you going?" Ron asked and you turned around to take one last glance at them.

"Homework with a friend" you lied and before you crouched down to the door, you called out to Harry causing him to quickly shoot his gaze from glaring at Ron to you.

"Yeah?" He asked and you sent him a smirk as this boldness took over you.

"Thanks for the compliment about my hair and I think you have beautiful eyes too" And within an instance, you shot him a wink and were out the door as you heard Ron laughing hysterically.

"She was eavesdropping mate! Oh who would've thought!" 

--

As much as you wanted to be in the common room and talking to Harry, your school work came first which is why for the past two hours you had working relentlessly on finishing up your homework. 

Maybe the change of environment to an empty courtyard with lights surrounding the area was helpful or perhaps your new motivation being Harry but either way you had finished your work quicker than you thought. You had about fifteen minutes to spare before curfew which was more than enough to get into the common room on time.

You hurriedly packed your bag and practically rushed to the Gryffindor common room, hoping that the one boy you wanted to see was in there. Upon opening the door, you didn't hear any voices and it was a bit dark to see any figures so you sighed, making your way upstairs.

"Maybe tomorrow" You muttered until you heard a voice across the room croak out.

"What about tomorrow?" they said and you whipped your head, squinting seeing that it was Harry.

"Harry? Why are you up and alone?" you questioned, heart rapidly beating.

"Well I knew you'd be back before curfew and wanted to chat with you about earlier" He said and you nodded, walking over to the couch he was sitting at.

"I'm listening. Do you have any more compliments you want to give me?" You teased as he looked down, lightly laughing.

"I can't believe you heard us, eavesdropping is rude you know." Harry joked as you rolled your eyes and sent a rebut his way. "To be fair, I heard my name and assumed two strangers were talking bad about me"

You two sat in silence for a moment, both heads looking at the fireplace in front of you two. "I'm actually glad I overheard you and Ron's conversation" You whispered, nerves flowing through your body as you spoke up. 

"What?" Harry asked, not sure if you were getting at where he wanted you to.

"I said, I'm glad I overheard your conversation Harry. Hearing that you fancy me makes it easier for me to tell you that I also like you. I have for quite some time actually" You couldn't help but smile at the way Harry's whole demeanor changed. The precious boy was smiling ear to ear, eyes beaming with glee.

"Oh thank god, you have no idea how long I've wanted to get that off of my chest" Harry replied causing you to chuckle at his dramatic action of him leaning back with his hand across his chest.

Once Harry sat back up he scooted closer to you and placed one of his hands on the side of your cheek. "Since we've settled our feelings toward one another, may I can do something I've wanted to do for a quite some time too?" He questioned, looking from your eyes to your lips. 

"It'd be a damn shame if you didn't" You replied and Harry wasted no time crashing his lips onto yours. What felt like electricity was circulating all throughout your body. Every second you spent kissing him you just craved more. It wasn't until you both needed air that you pulled away.

"I'm gonna have to send Ron a huge thank you basket for never keeping his bloody mouth shut" Harry said as you laughed, laying yourself against Harry's chest.
