Green eyes. Glasses. A scar.

Oh. It was Harry, leaning over you in an unknown room. "Ugh... Harry?" You mumbled, rubbing your (Y/E/C) eyes.

"Oh good, you're awake." Harry murmured.

Your heart skipped a beat.

"Wait - what happened? The last thing I remember was Malfoy manor... and Hermione..." You trailed off as you glanced up at Harry, his eyes piercing yours.

"You were already half dead from pain... Cruciatus curse and all... Wait, how did you get there? I made sure that you were still at Hogwarts when we left..." He trailed off, looking at you nervously. Your heart fluttered as you stared at him, the boy you'd liked since you bumped into him in Diagon Alley.

"No," you said. "I mean, tell me exactly what happened."

Harry went red and looked down at the floor, muttering something under his breath. You paused, not sure what he'd said.

"Sorry, didn't catch that." You said.

"I can't." He said. "I can't tell you what happened because of what I said when I knew you were passed out." Scarlet had now flushed across his face, and you stared at him, confused.

"What did you say?" You whispered, placing your hand on his arm.

"I - well, I said a lot, but what I'm talking about is when Hermione asked me why I was so worried and upset about you. I said... Well, I said that I didn't want to lose you." He looked up at you, blinking nervously.

"(Y/N), I fancied you for a bit back in third year. But then you started dating Ron, and I - well, I obviously couldn't bloody well say anything, could I? So I watched you with him, and I fell in love with you as I did. I - I love you, (Y/N) (Y/L/N). I want you, and I don't care how that sounds anymore, or how horrible a person I am for liking my best friends ex-girlfriend, I love you, and everyday I go without you knowing that is a day I call wasted. I love you so, so much (Y/N) (Y/L/N), and I will never, ever regret telling you that." Harry stopped to breathe. You sat there, frozen in surprise. "Y-you what?" You whispered, tilting your head to look at him, mesmerized.

"Yeah." Said Harry.

You laughed then, surprising him. Sitting up, you said, "Now, I know I'm just that girl you bumped into in Diagon Alley. I know I'm just that girl you stared at strangely on the train ride to Hogwarts in our first year. I know I'm just that girl that's been there as a friend, not an admirer, helping you up when you fell. But, bloody hell Harry Potter, I wish I could tell you how you make me feel! I've loved you since Diagon Alley. I've loved you since the train rides, the being there, and the helping you up. But Harry James Potter, never once in a blue moon did anyone ever give me any hope about the way I've felt. Not even Hermione had a way to help me. Because at first, I though it was an addiction you know. I thought I was addicted to you for a while, back when I was stupid and didn't know about love. I love you, Harry James Potter, since I knew you existed. I love you so much, and I would go to hell for you. I would do anything just to make sure that you stay alive, because you're a hell of a lot more important to this world then I am." You took a deep breath, then whispered, "Harry, I - I am addicted to you. I am madly in love with you, I'm infatuated with you, but I know I am addicted to you. I'm addicted to everything you do. I need you in my life, romantic or not, and I too, will never regret telling you that."

Harry's eyes were wide as he stared at you, and you both just stared at each other.

Then the words came crashing down around you, and you knew you had done such a horrible thing to tell him; you were wrong; you did regret it.

And then he kissed you, so passionately it was as though you had been lovers your whole life. He kissed you until your lips were sore. He moved so you were sitting on top of him, your legs wrapped around his waist, arms wrapped around his neck.

He kissed you like his life depended on it.

When you pulled away, Harry mumbled through his fast breaths, "Be mine forever, (Y/N), and never ever leave me."

You nodded very fast, hurting your neck in the process. Then you whispered against his forehead, "Absolutely. I'm yours, Forever, and Always."
