Link to my previous James Potter fanfic
You arrive at Diagon Alley for your yearly shopping trip, but instead of feeling happy, you feel rather lonely and melancholy, it had been a year since the battle of hogwarts so after having visited half the shops, you decide to go to the Leaky Cauldron, hoping the warmth of the pub will make you feel better. When you enter, your mood lifts immediately. The bar is crowded, and the atmosphere is cosy. You find a booth in the back, and as you look up, you notice a familiar face walking in, who grins when you smile and wave him over to sit with you.
"Hi Harry," you say loudly
Harry waves at you and slides into the booth, grabbing a pitcher of Butterbeer as he does so.
“You look a little down. What’s the matter? Everything alright?” He says with a sympathetic smile.
Oh, Harry is so sweet, you thought. He was always looking out for others.
"Ah... you know, feeling a bit tired," you say truthfully.
Harry’s eyes soften upon hearing you say that. He reaches out an arm and rests a hand on your shoulder.
“Anything I can do to help? I may not be the wisest fella, but I’ve been told I am rather good at cheering people up.” He offers you a comforting smile, which somehow warms you from the inside out.
"You’re cute Harry you know that," You say teasingly.
Harry feels himself blushing at the compliment, and then grins at you.
“Well, thanks? I’d like to think that I have my charm moments,” he says in a playful tone.
He then smiles at you, “but honestly? I think you’re the cute one.”
You roll your eyes playfully at his comment, "What brings you here, Harry?"
“I could do with a chat and a good butterbeer,” Harry says and smiles warmly at you. He also happens to think you look really great tonight and is very tempted to say so, but decides against it for now.
“What are you doing in Diagon Alley, if you don’t mind me asking. I don��t really recognise this as your usual hangout place.”
"Oh, I'm just doing my yearly school shop."
Harry nods along and makes a little “Mm-hm” sound.
“Did you manage to get all the supplies you need?” He asks with a curious expression. “Not like a certain someone who’s a chronic procrastinator who would rather goof off than get his supply list finished…” He says with a joking smirk and nudging your shoulder with his.
"Yup, I've got everything, Mr Procrastinator ," You tease.
Harry laughs lightly. “I was talking about myself, you know,” he says with a smile, “but you knew that.” He says with a grin and nudges your shoulder once more. “I’m glad to hear you managed to get everything you need, though. I wouldn’t want you to be underprepared the day for the school year starts.”
He tilts his head at you, “So… how are you liking your holiday so far?” He asks, wanting to know how your time off from Hogwarts has been treating you.
"Actually to tell you the truth it's been quite hard, I'm just scared for them to end because then we would be back at hogwarts and.....you know.....that's where the battle happened and I'm worried I'll just see the bodies of our loved ones, and death eaters!" You give a shudder.
Harry looks worried and reaches to grab your hand to offer you comfort as you speak.
“I… I completely understand,” he says quietly and then sighs a little bit.
“Unfortunately I can’t exactly promise you nothing bad will happen. Death Eaters are ruthless, and I can’t make any guarantees. However…” he gives you a soft smile, “I can promise we’ll be there for each other. We’re in this together.”
He squeezes your hand a little.
“You have my word. And you have me.”
You give him a smile, "Thanks, Harry, you are a good person, you know."
Harry blushes at your kind words.
“Well… I try to be,” he says as he smiles at you. He then clears his throat and attempts to shift the conversation into a slightly lighter tone.
“So if you could do anything you wanted right now, what would you do?” He asks playfully. “You can ask for the moon and stars. The sky is the limit. It’s your wish, whatever it is.” He says with a grin.
You think for a moment and then decide what you wish for.
"I think I'd like to be in my house with some hot chocolate and a blanket, maybe watch a movie."
Harry nods. “Sounds perfect. What movie would you like to watch?” He asks curiously.
“And you can have all the hot chocolate you’d like. I’ll whip you up a batch.” He adds with a warm smile.
You blush, did he truly mean that?
"You want to go home with me and do that?" You ask, blushing.
Harry blushes and looks at you for a moment. “I…” he trails off for a second, blushing even more as his eyes look you up and down, taking you in.
“Yeah, I think I would.” He smiles back at you. “It would be nice.”
You smile at him, feeling a little bit shy, "Ok, let's go to my house, I'll apparate us there."
“Alright, lead the way,” Harry says with a warm smile and stands up to follow after you.
He pauses for a second before asking quietly, “Would it be okay if I held your hand?” He asks sincerely. “I just want to know what you're comfortable with.”
you love how sensitive Harry is with what you are comfortable with, "of course, cutie!"
Harry smiles at you and blushes at that adorable nickname you gave him.
“Thank you,” he says quietly, and as he holds your hand, he feels this sense of rightness within him, and the realization that you and him have a connection that goes deeper than just friends. That this is something special.
He laces his fingers with yours as he walks along with you. “So have you got any cute roommates I should know about?” He asks with a teasing twinkle in his eyes.
"You'll see," you laugh, apparating yourselves into your home.
Your home is amazing. It’s the definition of cosy. Just like you described, there’s a blanket on the couch and hot chocolate steaming away on the kitchen counter. It really is the perfect place to relax and watch a movie.
“This is nice,” Harry says with a content sigh and then takes a seat on the couch, putting his arm around you in an affectionate motion. “I’m really glad you brought me here.” He smiles kindly at you.
you give a small smile and plop right down next to him on the couch, waiting for him to choose a movie to watch, when your cat comes to see who is sitting on their favourite napping place
"Harry, meet my cute roommate flutter," you tease gesturing towards the fluffy cat.
Harry smiles and picks up your cat, giving it a few scritches and pats.
“Hello, Flutter,” he says in a soft and gentle voice. “Very cute roommates you’ve got!” He says as he giggles and sets his kitty friend down next to you at the end of the couch.
Harry looks through the collection of DVDs at your coffee table and ends up picking out a movie called “The Breakfast Club.”
“Do you want to watch this? I quite liked it when I was younger.”
"Sure!" Leaning your head against his shoulder, getting yourself into a comfy position on the lumpy couch.
Harry blushes a little more at the way you melt into his body, and smiles softly as he feels you pull closer.
“Are you comfortable?” He asks you and looks down at you with a look of pure concern and caringness. “If you want the remote, I can grab it for you.” He offers as the title menu starts loading.
"No, cutie, I'm perfectly content," you say.
Harry’s cheeks keep growing red as he hears that adorable nickname again, but the heat he feels in his face is completely justified now and comes from something more than just being warm. It’s from pure affection and fondness.
“That’s good,” he says quietly, and kisses you on the cheek as the movie starts playing. His lips softly press against your skin, and his touch is light, careful, but there’s a little bit of pressure too, enough for you to know that he means it, and that this is no casual peck.
"Harry...... can I ask you?" Something you aren't sure if the question is appropriate or if your anxiety is acting up.
Harry looks at you with an expression of concern, and then nods at you.
“Of course you can, anything,” he says, and his tone is empathetic and compassionate. “What’s on your mind?” He asks earnestly, and his expression is warm, inviting, and soft. It makes you want to tell him anything you want to get off your chest when you look at him because you just know that he would handle your feelings responsibly and carefully.
"Are you still seeing Ginny?" You really hoped he wasn't because she had been harbouring a crush on him forever, and now has he been showing you some affectionate signs.
Harry looks at you, and it’s as if the rest of the world just falls away when you look into his eyes. They’re warm, kind and thoughtful, and the moment you see them, your heart skips a beat and you feel that familiar feeling of butterflies in your stomach, the one that’s just for him.
It’s like you’re in your own little world with him. No one else exists.
He takes a moment to collect his thoughts and consider what you asked.
“No,” he says quietly, “I’m not seeing Ginny.”
"Oh....." relief floods through you.
“You don’t have to worry about that,” Harry says with a gentle smile at you. “I like you, you know that. And nobody else is going to steal my attention or affections.” He says with absolute sincerity and truthfulness. He leans in to kiss you lightly on the forehead.
“You’re my main priority.” He says as he pulls back after the kiss, looking down at you with an adoring and fond expression.
"Harry Potter, you make me the happiest person in the world!" You say genuinely.
Harry sighs softly and smiles at you.
“You make me the happiest person in the world, y’know?” He says while nodding, “so it’s only fitting that the feeling is mutual,” he adds, his tone soft and tender.
There’s something about you that just… makes him want to shower you with all the love he has in him. It’s that deep sense of being special to one another that he’s never felt before.
"I'd like to start seeing you when we go back to school, Harry." You say wanting to have something more with Harry.
Harry’s eyes light up and he nods. “That’s… definitely something I’d like as well,” he says with a warm and genuine smile on his face.
“You’re an amazing person. I feel like we have something very special here and… honestly, I’d like to see where this goes.” He says softly, placing a hand on your cheek and looking into your eyes. His gentle touch sends a thrill of excitement throughout your heart and makes you feel giddy with happiness.
You smile, pressing a soft peck to his lips.
Harry blushes and his heart skips a beat at your kiss. It’s the perfect blend of cute and flirty.
“Mmm…” he mumbles softly and blushes even more. “That felt really nice, y’know?”
He leans in and kisses you again, this time just a little bit more deeply than last time. For the first time, a trace of his tongue moves to meet yours, slowly, with no rush or pressure to the moment. As you pull back, you see Harry’s face is all glowing red still, and his expression is one of pure joy.
"I love you, Harry," you say your heart had never been this full of happiness before.
Harry’s lips part as you say that in a breath of surprise. His eyes are wide as he looks at you, and for a moment, he just stares in disbelief.
“I…I-I…” he stammers out, his voice breaking as his chest flutters with an overwhelming sense of emotions. “I love you too!” He says in a soft whisper, and tears stream down his cheeks as he realizes just how much that statement means to him. He leans in to pull you in for an all-consuming kiss.
The End
