say that you love me

twelve

The trio and I were the only ones left in the common room a few hours after the interesting conversation Ron and I had. Harry was with Ron on the couch while Hermione and I sat next to each other near the fire. We looked back at the guys every so often to see what they were doing.

"He's staring at you again" Hermione said softly and quietly as she turned to look at me again. I don't know how many times she repeated that in the last hour let alone the whole time we were here.

I turn and smile at Harry then look at Ron watching as he stared at Hermione lovingly. I nudge her arm gently, "I can say the same with loverboy over there" I whisper before laughing as she rolled her eyes. 

I stand up, looking at the trio, "I'm going to get going. I'll see you boys in the morning, Hermione I'm sure I'll see you soon". 

Hermione nods before standing up herself, she stands next to me "I'll go with, goodnight boys".

We look at each other before we turned around, walking over to the stairs. 

Once in the dorms I sit down on the bed, looking over at the clock on the wall before Hermione begins to speak as she sits next to me.

"After last year, it's obvious Ron is too dumb to understand feelings" Hermione complained, laying down as she looked up at me. I laughed and nod as I lay down next to her. 

"I mean you're not wrong" I shrugged, watching as she began to laugh.

"So um-" I started as I sat up, fixing my skirt, crossing my legs. "I'm sneaking out to see Draco" 

Hermione quickly shot up, looking at me with a surprised look on her face. I looked away quickly, as her expression began to scare me a bit.

"Y/n you can't be serious you have so much time to see him throughout the day, do you realize how dead you'd be if you get caught? Detention Y/n, detention. If that't not enough to convince you not to do it-" She said before I interrupted her.

"Mione it's not that easy for me to see him" I looked around making sure no one in the room would hear us. "The meetings are coming up soon and with all the things Harry is going through, he needs us most of the time- the whole Draco and Harry situation too that'd be weird if Harry saw us together again"

I heard her sigh, I slowly looked up at her and watched as she shook her head.

"I suppose you're right Y/n but I still don't know. You and Malfoy, that's something I wouldn't have pictured" 

I chuckled and laid down on the bed, feeling her do the same. We stared at the ceiling for a moment before I turned to look at her.

"I guess it's something that our parents saw, and others I guess. But, once we came here things changed between us. He started to be around Crabbe and Goyle and Pansy became obsessed with him, he let them get through his head. Look, I promise I won't get caught and if I do, I'll just say no one else knew so you won't get into trouble" 

She laughed at the last comment, then sat up. She looked back at me and flashed a quick smile. 

"I'm going to start getting ready for bed, and so should you" she winked before walking over to her bed. I roll my eyes playfully at her then turn away.

Once everyone was asleep, I slowly get out of bed. I put my shoes on and grab the jacket, quickly putting them on. I quietly walk over towards the door, opening it with the handle. Once out the door, I quickly close it letting out a shaky breath of relief. I look around to make sure the boy's dorm room was closed before I begin to walk down the steps. I quickly walked passed the fire before jumping at the sound of my name.

"Y/n?" they spoke out quietly

I squint my eyes to try and figure the face out.

"Harry?"
