Seeing Ginny with that hufflepuff boy was slightly disturbing for Harry.
So he decided to spite her and get with (name), well, not really, just a pretend relationship.
Something about being asked by Harry to be his girlfriend was utterly scarring.
You felt like throwing up or drop dead.
"ME?!"
"ARE YOU CRAZY POTTER?"
the boy had a silly grin on his face
"hushh, come on (name), do me this favor! I'll owe you something, please please pleaseee"
you looked at him with a 'what the fuck' expression.
"and why do you want to fake a relationship with me?"
"well, first of all. Ginny. and that's all"
"what about Ginny? what did that poor girl do" you say sighing
"cough cough.. so.. me and her.. well- I think.. I think we were kinda pining after the other, but then this hufflepuff boy got in between and she hasn't been very.. sweet with me."
What he said while stuttering a bit made you nearly face plant on the ground.
you roll your eyes "harry. just ask her out. dont be petty"
"come onnnn, (nameeeee), can't a boy have fun?" he gives you the puppy eyes
"no"
"I will give you for a week the invisibility cloack so you can read at night in the library"
your eyes slightly widen and then you chuckle.
"alright"
That day, you talked about what to do
and least to say, you were doing amazing.
The whole school was invested in your love story in less than a week.
Two Gryffindors clearly but not so clearly pining on each other.
The secret (but not so secret) glances.
The way your fingers interwined when y'all thought no one was watching (not really).
The way you gave him soft peeks on his cheek.
The way he chose to dedicate his win of Quidditch to you..
STUDENTS KNEW.
You chuckle as you hug Harry, faking being discreet and secretive.
"y'know potter.. this is fun" you mumble softly on his ear..
His arms wrapped around your waist.
His cheeks were pink and flushed..
"yeah..."
With this fake and pretend, you two spent more time together.
Studying.
Walking around school.
Cheering on one another.
Sneaking out.
Sometimes even baking..
Getting closer with Harry wasn't something you thought was possible nor good, but it felt nice.
He was good at faking.
and you were also good at faking, because he started waiting for the next day, hoping to talk and spend more time with you.
We were running through the halls of the school as we were LATE to charm class.
Giggles could be heard from the hall, some students even gave an excuse to go out of class for one moment, only to see you two having fun.
"come on sweetieee, catch mee" you say teasingly as you kept running to your next class, he was right behind you, tackling you to the ground seconds after.
He started tickling you and playing fight on the grass.
Until a teacher started shouting at you two to go to your classes.
Your faces were inches away.
You could feel his hot breath on you, with his hands on your hips..
He also realized in what position you two were in.
"so.. let's go to class" you mumble, pink cheeks
'fuck,, i cant be falling for potter'
He nods as he gets up, landing you a hand
'no no no.. i cant be falling for (name)...'
The plan ended up working.
You and Harry had a plan to meet at the library to study for some upcoming tests and..
Ginny confessed her love for him, since she knew that you and him weren't 'official' yet.
Seeing that scene made your eyes widen, heart beating fast.
It hurted a lot more than what you would have thought, your feet started moving and you ran to your room.
Wanting to cry your eyes out and not wanting to hear more of their conversation.
Days passed by and you ignored Harry.
Truthfully,that day he didn't answer Ginny.
He kept waiting for you at the library until night fell.
He noticed how you avoided him after that day.
He felt sick.
Luckily, as two teenagers in conflict, he had Hermione and Ron and you had Mo to support you.
They helped you two and left you to talk to each other.
In the library.
Where the disaster started.
Only pages turning could be heard.
You kept quiet and so did he.
"so.. how did it go.. with Ginny?"
"ah.. about that.."
..
"I.. didn't accept her confession.. actually I-"
you both looked up, eyes meeting.
you chuckle
"and why not?"
A small smile plastered on your lips.
He grinned before softly grabbing your chin and looking into your eyes..
understanding what he wanted to do, you give him a nod and he kisses you.
"this is why.."
Both cheeks pink.
