They both knew that to love would be to lose their minds.
"Even if - for some crazy reason - we aren't romantically entwined anymore, I'll still repair your broken pieces when you shatter."
The constellation that tells the love story of Harry James...

"MAYBE WE SHOULD USE VERRARDAR AS BAIT."
NEVER in her life did Y/N think she would be driving some sort of getaway car, but there was she, driving Harry and Ron away from an army of spiders while they were yelling in the backseat.
"GO FASTER.' Ron yelled, digging his fingernails into Y/N's shoulder, which Harry quickly removed.
"THIS IS THE FASTEST I CAN GO, RONALD BILLIUS WEASLEY," Y/N shouted back, slamming her foot on the gas pedal as hard as it would let her.
She looked to the side of her and quickly analyzed how dangerous the thing she was about to do was. In conclusion, it didn't quite fit into her 'too dangerous' category, so she went with it.
She gave Ron and Harry a brief, loud warning, then quickly swerved the car down a small, muddy slope as she tried to block out Ron and Harry's screams. The car was aggressively running over every rock and stick that got in the way, throwing around the boys in the backseat.
When the car came to a halt, the trio took a minute to catch their breaths, seeing the spiders were nowhere near the car, for a moment.
"Are you two okay?" Y/N looked at them through the cracked rearview mirror, and both boys nodded.
Still looking through the rearview mirror, her eyes darted up, looking above Harry's and Ron's heads and seeing an army of spiders a good distance away from them. She looked at the brightness of the castle lights ahead of her, through the dark trees.
"How fast can you guys run?" She turned her head to look at them.
"Pretty fast." They agreed, nodding their heads.
"Okay, as soon as you open that door, run for your life."
And they did, as soon as the door opened. Even with shoes on, sticks and rocks were hurting the bottom of their feet, and their legs were burning, but the only thing that mattered at that point was getting out of the woods alive.
Even after they ran out of the dark place, they ran until they safely got into Hogwarts, not daring to risk it.

They were safely in Y/N's dorm. While running, a stray tree branch cut Harry's right shoulder, so Y/N was stirring him an Essence of Dittany for his wounds while Ron was ranting about how much he hates spiders to Harry, who was on Y/N's bed.
"How could Hagrid be so stupid? 'Follow the spiders?' What kind of advice is that? All for us to almost die."
"He probably didn't know that Aragon was going to send his spiders on us." Harry shrugged. He was pulling up his short sleeve, to expose his bleeding shoulder.
"That's sick!" Ron almost gagged; he hated the sight of blood.
"Here." Y/N sat next to Harry, having Ron hold the bowl of the poison so that Y/N could dip the towel she had in the brown substance.
