Chosen For Me// Harry James Potter x reader

chapter 8: Go to the ball with me?

Another Monday, more torture. Y/n dreaded the thought of having to go to potions but Raven was dragging her to class. The thought of Harry's lips crossed y/n's mind over and over again until that was the only thing she could think of.

They got to potions class on time for once and took a seat.

" What's up with her?" Harry asked.

"Probably her seasonal depressive mood," Raven responded.

They took a seat next to Draco as Snape started class.

"She looks... interesting." Draco slurred.

"I can hear you," Y/n mumbled under her breath.

"Right sorry..." Draco apologized.

The class continued for what felt like hours until Snape finally dismissed them. Y/n was down the whole day. Usually, she would keep her head up, bully Potter a bit, read about the dark arts, but today she had to get Raven to drag her out of bed. Harry was worried, to say the least, but he was more worried about the Yule ball coming up. A few hours later y/n was finally walking on her own. She was scurrying to her next class when she accidentally bumped into Harry. They both looked up at each other and said at the same time

"Would you like to go to the ball with me?"

After they took a double-take on what seemed like a coincidence, Harry finally spoke.

" I'm glad to see your feeling better , i'm also happy that you asked me i thought you would say no."

" I'm glad i'm feeling better too, is that a yes to my question?" y/n asks already knowing the answer.

" Yes, it is" Harry says while smiling.

Y/n stops in her tracks as Harry does too. They look each other in the eye, acting like they aren't already late to class. Harry slowly stepped closer as y/n put her hand on his cheek. Harry looked her in the eyes, looking for any sign of discomfort , but he couldn't find any so he quickly put his lips on hers and spun her around so her back was on the wall. Y/n slowly pulled away after a while and smiled. Harry was happy to see her smile, as he rarely sees anyone smile anymore. Her smile made Harry feel different, safe, and cared for. He felt like he wasn't alone anymore.

" We better get to class..." Harry recommend

" We should, but one last thing." Y/n said. She whispered in Harry's ear " You'd be surprised at how well a Riddle can clean themselves up. You'll be drooling the second you see me."  then she walked off to class.

Harry sat there for a few seconds, replaying the words in his head over and over again. Was this actually happening?

*time skip*

Y/n got to her dorm and opened the door to see Draco sitting in her bed.

" Heard you got a hot date to the ball." Draco smirked.

" Actually I do Draco, and you?" Y/n spoke

"You didn't need to come for me like that." Draco laughed.

"So why were you in here in the first place." Y/n asked, sitting down next to him.

"Oh I just came to see if you were okay, you didn't seem like your usual self today." Draco smiled.

" I'm okay now. Thank you Malfoy." Y/n expressed.

" Who are you going to the ball with?" Draco questioned.

" Harry." Y/n wheezed.

Draco looked at y/n for a while until he couldn't hold on his laughter. They laughed together until Raven ran in.

"BITCHHHH YOU HAVE A DATE !" Raven exclaimed, hugging y/n firmly.

"Yes, yes she does." y/n giggled.

" We should host a party after the ball, free alcohol!" Raven said.

" Draco what do you think about that idea? Maybe in the slytherin common room?" Y/n asked him.

" Thats a good idea. I'll go tell Pansy and Blaise about it." Draco groggily said while standing up and walking out.

After Draco left the room, Raven and Y/n talked more about what they are wearing to the ball tomorrow. Y/n was a natural when it came to anything, especially fashion. She would plan every outfit a week before, and made sure to have a back up just in case. Everyone loved her style, even Hermione and Ron.

* time skip or whatever;)*

Harry walked into his dorm thinking Ron wouldn't be there.

" You finally got a date." Ron smirked.

" Remind me how long it took you?" Harry sassed, shushing Ron from speaking.

" Who are you taking? Are they pretty? IS IT CEDRIC?!" Ron questioned.

" No! It's not Cedric. It's this girl from slytherin." Harry smiled at the thought of Y/n.

" Bloody hell! You're taking Y/n! How did you convince her?" Ron yelled.

" Quiet down! And i didn't have to convince her . We coincidentally asked each other at the same time." Harry explained, blushing harshly.

" I think you're in love Harry."  Ron smiled.

"Shut it Ron." Harry laughed.
