Harry Potter [Dance with Me ☁️ ]

A/N: Another Yule Ball fic, this time with Harry. I've had this idea for a while now but never got to making it, it wasn't exactly how I envisioned it but I really can't be bothered to rewrite it all. Y/N is a year older than Harry in this fic and has no specified house!

It hadn't been long since Harry had been picked to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, his shock quickly dissipating as he realized he had to find someone to take to the Yule Ball. Time was wearing thin and he still didn't have anyone to go with.

The trio were currently feasting in The Great Hall, Ron stuffing his face as the other two spoke. "Well, who will you be taking then?" Hermione questions, "You can't go alone." He hung his head as he brushed Hermione off. "I know, I know." He mimics a whine. "I can't think of anyone else to ask though." Hermione shakes her head disapprovingly. "You better find someone quick."

Ron clears his throat after swallowing the giant bite he took. "Why don't you take that guy you've been hanging around?" Harry questioningly looks at the red-head before Hermione chimed in. "Ah yes, the 5th year. Y/N, was it?" Harry shrugs as he feels his stomach flutter slightly. "Aren't I supposed to go with someone, romantically?"

"Not necessarily. I mean, it's either him or Ron, he has no partner either." Ron mutters an offended 'Hey!' before Harry chuckles. "I guess I'll ask him then."

You and Harry only got close in the last year, as he was having trouble with his Herbology classes and you offered him assistance. The two of you would spend countless hours in the library discussing the plants and their specialties.

It didn't take long for you both to hang out outside of studying, meeting before and after classes to talk. Conversations were spoken easily between you, it coming almost naturally. It's why he had grown such a liking to you, you were such an easy person for him to get along with. Obviously so were Ron and Hermione, of course, but he swore it felt different with you.

He settled on asking you as soon as he saw you, hoping to catch you after your classes.

Timeskip

It was just about dusk when Harry found you walking through the halls, making your way to your dormitories. He sped-walked to try and catch up to you, calling your name once he was a few metres away. You turn to see him breathing heavily while greeting you. "Good Evening Y/N, I was wondering if I could ask you something." You smile as you greet him back.

"Evening, Harry. What's on your mind?" You watch as he straightens his robes. "As you know, I had planned on asking Cho out to the Yule Ball." He shrugs as continues. "She's already going with someone though, Cedric." You send him an apologetic look. "Ah, what a shame. Sorry mate." He waves his hand to brush it off.

"Don't be, I'm not as upset as I thought I would be. I honestly feel a little relieved." He watches as your face contorts in confusion, a wonky smile still present. "Well alright then, that was quick." You give a short chuckle before you ask. "Who are you going with then?" Harry avoids your eyes as he stalls. "I hoped that's where you'd come in."

Your eyes widen. "You want to go to the Yule Ball with me?" Harry's quick to start again. "I was talking to Ron and Hemione about it, I can't go alone and I'd rather go with you than whoever they put me with." He takes a short breath. "If, of course, you don't already have a partner." You shake your head. "No, no partner." You let out a small laugh.

"So how is this gonna work? What exactly are we going as?" Harry feels his stomach flip as he responds. "Friends, they said nothing about it having to be romantic." He laughs a little as he finishes. He notices a slight glint in your eyes, one that looked almost, disappointed. Yet a smile remained on your face, he must've been getting his hopes up.
