christmas tree- harry.

female!reader - she/her | harry x y/n

The snow was crunching under their steps as they walked back to the castle. Hogsmead always looked beautiful, but especially when it was covered in a blanket of snow. Y/N would have loved to spend more time with her boyfriend there, however, it was freezing outside and all the shops were filled with students looking for Christmas presents. Let's not even start with the "Three Broomsticks".

Their arms were intertwined and Y/N was moving close to her boyfriend to take in the warmth. Her boyfriend was rather quiet, which was unusual for him. She knew that the death of his godfather, the return of.. you know who, and Dumbledore being as mysterious as always took a toll on him. All she could try was to be there for him, listen to him and hold him. Sometimes he would snap at her, just out of nowhere, but she knew he did not mean it like that. At least that is what she hoped.

Hermione and Ron were trailing behind them as the four were walking back to Hogwarts. Sometimes Y/N would look over her shoulder, to check on their friends, only to smile and turn back to face the path ahead of her. Even when Hermione and Ron would be bickering the whole time, they were completing each other. Everyone knew that they were just a perfect match.

Even with all the thoughts on Harry's mind, he noticed the absent mind of his girlfriend as they reached the castle. He came to a hold, stopping Y/N with him, and even when his friends were sending him confusing glances, they just continued their way to the Gryffindor common room. Staring after their friends, Y/N looked at her boyfriend. "Why are we standing here? It is freezing and I would rather sit by the Christmas tree with you." Harry chuckled and stroked her cheek. "Are you okay, my dear?"

Taking his mitten covered hands in her hands, she continued to look at him. "Why shouldn't I be okay?" She asked confused but also nervous. Why was she nervous? There was nothing she was hiding. "You seem so lost in your thoughts." Walking to the entrance of the castle and ignoring his words, she pulled him slowly with her. "Let's go inside. I am literally about to freeze off my arse."

Y/N was upstairs in her dorm changing into warmer, dry, and clean clothing as the trio was sitting by the fire. "What is on your mind, Harry?" Harry looked at his friends, who looked at him back with concernment. "Are you okay?" Hermione pressed while trying to not be too pushy. "Funny. I asked that Y/N as well." Ron looked confused, "Why shouldn't she be okay?" "Maybe she is just worried. About you." Their female friend tried to explain, actually knowing what was on her friend and dorm mate's mind.

"Why worried?" "Well, you are the chose one." Harry scoffed and leaned back into the cushions that were in a red and golden tone. "I rather think it is because you have been snapping at her a lot. One moment you are kinda rude and in the next, you are caring." Ron, being completely lost, looked between his friends. "Mione, get off his back. He got a lot on his mind."

Hermione shook her head. "Of course, but she is Harry's girlfriend." She took her eyes off of Ron and looked back to Harry, "She is worried about you and maybe that you, I don't know, maybe just losing interest in her?" This surprised Harry. He loved Y/N. She was one of the most amazing people he ever got to meet. Y/N did not treat him like the chosen one, she just treated him like Harry. Yes, lately, he has been a bit snappy. All these things around him are just getting too much. He just did not realize that he was taking it out on her.

"It is alright, Mione." Y/N's voice broke the tension in the room as she leaned against the wall by the stairs. Hermione stood up and pulled Ron with her, who only let out a wince. Harry watched as his girlfriend moved from her spot by the stairs to the seat next to him on the couch. "Have I really been such a prick to you?" Was the first thing he said to break the silence.

"You were not always nice but I know there a lot of things on your mind." "I am sorry, Y/N-," "It is okay." Harry shook his head and moved closer to her. "No, you deserve better." Leaning back, she let her hand wander through his messy hair. "I love you, okay? And these small things won't make me love you any less." "I could never love you less."

"I will try to be a better boyfriend and not to take my anger out on you. Just tell me your worries in the future, would you? Do not wanna lose you." Harry's cheek began to grow rosy as he looked down on their hands that found their way to each other. "You won't lose me." Y/N kissed the side of his head before cuddling into his side. The two went into quiet peace as they were sitting by the rather huge Christmas tree in the common room. The fire was burning slowly and if you looked closer to the burning wood, you may think you are seeing a smiling face in it.
