*Layla's POV*

I was in the common room with the trio

"What prank did you have to help the twins with?" I asked Ron

"A dumb thing on a first year" Ron replied

"Ugh, we have dinner soon" Harry groaned

"Why are you mad about dinner? Food is the best thing ever!" Ron said

"It's the best thing to you" I said

"Whatever" Ron said leaning back into the couch

"Anyway, I'm hoping me and Layla live close so we can hang out over the summer" Hermione smiled

"I wish we all lived near each other" Harry sighed

"Me too.." I said "You guys are my first real friends"

"Wait, really?" Ron asked

"Yes really" I answered

People started walking out the the common room to go to dinner

"We should get to dinner" Hermione said

The four of us got up and walked to the Great Hall. I sat next to Harry and across from Hermione who was next to Ron. Dumbledore said something as he usually did then we started eating. Ron ate fast as he usually did

~

After everyone had finished eating we were told to stand up

"In honor of this school year being very, very unique, we have a little surprise for all of you" McGonagall spoke

All the tables folded up and rose into the air. Music started playing

"Everyone! Have fun! Dance, talk, whatever you may"

People started dancing with each other since the song "Line without a hook" played(I know this song wasn't made in 1993 but just imagine it is). Ron grabbed Hermione's hand and started dancing. Harry let out his hand towards me, I took his hand. People crowed around as they danced to every sing that came on. Professors even started dancing as well

"You're good at dancing Harry" I laughed

"So are you" He smiled

"What can I say, I did ballet as a kid" I said

Harry laughed. People were in sync as they danced. I looked at Hermione, she looked back at me and smiled. Harry spun me around as everyone else did the same. As we continued dancing, I was laughing at the remarks Harry made about the fact Ron and Hermione couldn't dance. After all I'm surprised some people knew how to dance. We were only 12-13 years old. A happier, up-beat song came on and everyone started doing their own thing. Ron and Hermione came back over to me and Harry. Hermione winked and me and I rolled my eyes

"I'm gonna miss this place over the summer" I said

"Me too" Harry said

~A few hours later

Ron and Hermione went back to the common room a little while ago. Harry, Me, and some other people were still in the Great hall dancing to whatever song came on. Me and Harry eventually started heading to the common room. We were laughing about dumb things. Damn, I'm gonna miss him more than anyone else. Harry was the one person I could laugh about anything with. Yeah Ron and Hermione were also my best friends but Harry is the only person I really feel my self around. Yes, I know that sounds cheesy but it was the truth. I heard the music stop in the great hall along with the sound of the tables hitting the ground.

"That's was fun" I smiled

"I'm surprised they let us do that tonight" Harry said

"I know! I'm guessing the wanted to leave the school year off with a good note" I said

We got to the common room and I said the password. Me and Harry walked in. I saw Hermione and Ron and walked over to them with Harry

"Where have you two love-birds been" Ron laughed

"Dancing" I smiled

"And joking around" Harry smiled

"Doesn't look like it" Hermione said

"Huh?" Me and Harry both said with confusion

"You both are blushing" Ron smirked

"I could say the same about you Ron" I smirked

"Hey! This is about you two!" He said

"And it's not like we were the only ones dancing anyway" Harry added

"But they way way you-" Hermione started

"We aren't doing this." I said

"We're not fighting over the fact you two want us date" Harry said

"But come on! You would look so cu-" Ron said

"Shut it before I murder you" I said glaring at Ron

Harry chuckled

"Anyway, I'm going to bed. My feet hurt and I'm tried" I yawned

"Did I make you dance to much" Harry lightly laughed

"No, well, I just haven't danced in forever" I laughed

"Okay, Night Layla!" Harry smiled

"Night!" Ron and Hermione said

I walked to my dorm. I changed into comfy clothes and laid down. Hermione came in not too long after. She changed as well and laid down in her bed

"Get some sleep Layla. We have a lot of packing to do tomorrow" She said

"I will don't worry" I replied

I turned off the small lamp next to my bed and got comfy. And here I am, thinking about Harry. Crap. I've thought about him every time I've tried to fall asleep for days. I didn't tell Hermione about it because I knew she would tell someone. If it wasn't Harry I stayed awake thinking about I would be talking to Harry about it, but nope, I'm thinking about Harry. Ron came up with the name "Larry" as our couple name. Wow, I hated that. I almost killed Ron the day he said that but Harry stopped me, only because he saw a professor walking by. Did I fancy Harry? No, I couldn't. He's my best friend. I can't ruin the friendship I have with him. What if he doesn't fancy me? He doesn't, he can't. He probably fancy some blonde haired girl for all I know.  "Harry might fancy you" that's the first thing that comes to my mind. Thanks a lot Ced for imprinting that into my mind. Harry doesn't fancy me, he can't fancy me. "We're best friends, nothing more." It hurts in a way remembering that both me and Harry said that. But the way he looked at me as we danced tonight, the way I laughed with him, the way he protected me whenever I couldn't defend myself, the way I turned red whenever he looked at me as I watched him play quidditch, all the times we laughed in the common room about things only we knew, every happy memory rushed through my mind. Maybe. I do fancy him...
