Y-N POV

It had been a total of three days since that incident between Harry and Malfoy happened. As well as since that stunt he pulled on me. I paced up and down lonely halls of Hogwarts. Goosebumps cover my body as I remembered how dark Harrys stare had gotten that day. He's never looked at me like that before. He hadn't mentioned that day again.

I laid flat against the wall behind me. My uncontrollable thoughts winning over. I close my eyes thinking about Draco Malfoy. My stomach drops, guilt washing over me.

Why am I even thinking about you?!!

You shouldn't be in my thoughts Draco...

A bit of disappointment washes over me as I recall what happened this morning. I walked along side Harry, our hands intertwined as we made our way down the crowded halls. Harry was too busy talking to both Ron and Hermione I found myself staring off into the crowd of students. My eyes focused on a tall figure on the other side of the hallway. I gulp down noticing his perfectly combed blond hair getting closer. I catch a glimpse of his cloudy blue eyes... I feel myself get nervous at the thought of him looking back at me. But he doesn't... he passes along side me as if I never even existed to him.

I should've felt relief. Instead I was struck with disappointment.

Is he ignoring me??

STOP

STOP

STOP

I NEED TO STOP.

What is wrong with you Y-N!!!???

HARRYS POV

"Mr. Potter, I asked you a question."  my eyes don't leave Malfoy as I hear Umbridges pinched voice.

"Yes you did. However, you weren't asking me about the fight that happened between Malfoy and I." I meet her eyes. Her faces stiffness at my words. "You were yet again asking about some silly little club called the... what was it again??..."

"I don't appreciate the attitude Mr. Potter." I roll my eyes at the lady in front of me.

"Fine. Let's discuss your punishment then shall we. For that little stunt you pulled."

"What about Malfoy? Won't he get punished as well?"

"Of course not. Mr Malfoy is the victim here." I hold onto my chair trying my best to keep calm. Malfoy stood behind the witch wearing a smug smile. "I don't mean to interfere, but, I think it's only fair Potter gets kicked out of the quidditch team." His words bring a smile onto Umbridges lips. "His aggressive behavior just won't do. It could seriously put the other players in danger. Just like he did to me."

That little

"We'll I think that's a great idea Mr Malfoy." She wickedly smiled at him. "Mr Potter, as of today, You are officially off the quidditch team for the rest of the school year."

Don't give them the satisfaction.

"We'll I think that's a great idea. It's rather fair." I lift myself off the chair, "Malfoy, I really am so sorry I put you through that. You must've been so scared." I feel myself smirk at his change of attitude. His expression hardens at my words, "Don't worry, you don't have to be scared anymore." I put on the fakest smile making Umbridges eye twitch. "May I go back to class now." She nods her head down. As soon as I step out of the room I feel my blood boil. "Hey." her soft voice rings in my ears. I meet her heartwarming smile. "Are you ok?" Her hand rests on my cheek. I close my eyes feeling the anger slowly fade away.

"I am now." I pull her into my arms, she rests her head on my chest as my arms wrap around her. I take a deep breath, taking in her sweet warm scent.

God I love you so much.

"We could skip class you know." I smile at her words

"Could we?"

"Yes." She looks up at me, "Come on." She takes ahold of my hand leading me to the one place that she knew would give me comfort.

The astronomy tower

I let myself relax at her touch. Her delicate fingers gently brush through my hair.

Y-N POV

I look down at my lap were Harry rested his head. I smiled seeing how lost he was as I played with his hair. He loved it. "I got kicked off the quidditch team."

"What?" he hums in response. I could see he was sad. He loved quidditch. It was the one thing that would always take his mind off things. "I'm so sorry Harry." he opens his eyes to meet mine. I cup his cheek with my other hand, "I know you love quidditch." he smiles a bit, "It's okay Y-N. I'll be ok." He grabs ahold of my hand intertwining his fingers with mine. He holds my hand over his chest. "Plus, this gives me more time to focus on what really matters." He looks off into the scenery in front of us, "You mean Dumbledores army?"  he hums making my hand feel his chest vibrate. "Don't take on too much Harry. You already have so much going on."

"Don't worry about me Y-N." he lifts himself up. His attention now fully on me as he places both of his hands on cheeks cupping my face. "How can I not." He smiles at me, "Christmas break is coming up real soon."

"I want you to celebrate it by my side."

"Really?" I feel my cheeks reden at his confession, "Yes really." he giggles at my reaction.

"I would love to Harry."

"Good. I want you to meet someone." Now his cheeks reden.

"We should head back down for lunch." He sheepishly says. He stands up extending his arm towards me. I smile placing my hand on his as he helps me up. We both make our way towards the great hall hand in hand.

One week later

Y-N POV

Things had been great between Harry and I. He was doing ok without quidditch. He focused almost all of his time on Dumbledores army. I looked up from my charms book watching as Harry went around the room helping everyone with a few defense spells. I had sat this lesson out since I had my very own private lessons with Harry when we were alone. His bright green eyes meet mine instantly making me blush. A cocky smile forms on his lips as he sends me a quick wink. I playfully roll my eyes at him returning my attention back onto the book I held.

I'm distracted yet again as Harry grabs onto my book shutting it, "You're distracting me." He whispers against my ear as he kneels down beside me. I blush at his words, "Please I'm distracting you. You're distracting me." I get ahold of my textbook, he scoffs at my action. "I actually have to get going." His smile falters at my words, "Do you have to go?" His puppy his melt my heart. "Stop that." I say, only making him increase the sadden puppy act. He sighs finally dropping the act, "Fine. I know you have more studying to do for the OWLs." I smile at him. "Thank you." His soft lips peck mine before helping me back up on my feet. "I'll see you later." He sweetly pinches my cheek before going back to help the students with their spells. I slip out of the room quickly making sure I don't disrupt anyone.

Quietly I step out into the empty hall, I face back around making sure the door to the room of requirement disappeared making sure no unwanted people got in there. As it finally disappeared I turned back around only to be met with an army of Slytherins. Before I could act a pair of strong hands grasped onto my arms. I look over meeting both Goyle and Crabbes nasty smiles.

"Miss Y-L-N." I snap my head forward, my eyes falling onto the leader of the army.

Fucking umbitch.

"Take her to my office." I try fighting my way out of their grip but they were just too strong. I feel my feet drag across the floor as they begin to move.

Crap.
