IMAGINE: Harry and You Confessing Your Feelings for Each Other

     “This is ridiculous." You grumble to Hermione, your older sister, as she, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, and you trudge through the Forbidden Forest. You're in your fifth year with Luna, a Ravenclaw like yourself, and Ginny, while everyone else is in their sixth year. “Oh, Y/N, stop complaining. We made our bed, now we have to lie in it." Hermione replies with a sigh. Earlier in the day, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Neville, Luna, and you were caught spying on Professor Snape by none other than Professor Snape. You were immediately given detention to spend a night in the Forbidden Forest. Harry, leading the group, looks over his shoulder at you sympathetically and your heart flops. You nervously smile back at him. Over the five years you've been at Hogwarts, you've become really close with Harry and Ron, and even closer to Hermione. You're all best friends. But there's something about Harry that is so appealing to you. Over the years a lot of girls at Hogwarts have taken interest in Harry. You, on the other hand, were just happy to be one of his best friends. However, most recently, you've been feeling something else—something else that has taken you by surprise. You're falling in love with him. You would never dare tell Hermione. While you've gotten incredibly close to your sister since you joined Hogwarts, you feel like it would just be way too awkward her knowing how you feel about Harry.     After a while of walking, you notice that Harry has stepped off to the side. He motions for the others to go in front of him. When you walk past him, he steps into line with you. "Hey." He breathes. “Hi." You smile at him. “How are you doing?" “I'm okay. Just mentally keeping note of how much homework I'm going to have to catch up." You roll your eyes. "I'm sorry we got caught." Harry winces. “So am I. We almost were out of Snape's line of vision too." You shake your head. “It's like he has eyes in the back of his head." “Who knows, maybe he does." You smile a little. Harry chuckles and then clear his throat. "I, uh, I actually wanted to tell you something, Y/N." You look at him, your eyebrows furrowing. "Yeah, of course. Is everything okay?" You ask worriedly. He nods. "Yeah, I just-I just have to say something. I've kept it a secret for so long and it has been killing me. Now I'm at a breaking point and I just need to tell you." He says seriously. Both of you stop walking. You stare at Harry. "Okay." You nod slowly.       "We've-we've been friends for a while now, Y/N. Good friends. Really, really good friends." Harry starts. You smile at him. "Yeah, we have." You reply. “But, correct me if I'm wrong, there's also something else between us..." He trails off. Your heart nearly stops and you nod slowly. "Y/N, I've liked you for so long. I mean, really like you. When I'm with you, I feel stronger. I feel like I can do anything. You inspire me, you challenge me, you better me. But this past year...Y/N, I think I'm falling in love with you." He breathes. You stare at him, blinking repeatedly. "Wait, you're in love with me?" You squeak out. Harry smiles sheepishly and nods. "More than anything." "Oh, Harry." Your breath leaves you in a rush. You step forward and wrap your arms around him. He wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you against him. "I love you, Harry." You whisper quietly. You pull your head back to look at him. "More than anything." You smile slightly, brushing your fingers against his cheek. He smiles widely at you, leans his head down, and kisses you soundly. You sigh and kiss him back. “Fine place to be snogging, you two." Ron gawks. Harry and you pull away with a gasp, arms still around each other. "I go back to find out where you to went off too, and here I find you here." He shakes his head. He turns around, throwing his hands up. "Snogging—in the Forbidden Forest!" He exclaims to himself as he walks away. Harry and you laugh. "We should probably go back to the group." “Yeah." Harry agrees. Neither of you move. You smile and Harry kisses you again. “You know, maybe detention isn't so bad." You murmur. “This is the best detention I've ever had." He responds with a smirk, before kissing you. [THE END] I hope you liked it!
