y/n y/l/n was a slytherin. not the typical, rude, backstabbing snake as most would say. that was a stereotype. and y/n was not going to be based off of a stereotype.
y/n’s family was a bit of everything. she had a great uncle, who was a member of the lions, gryffindor. and her mother was a ravenclaw, but her father was a hufflepuff, and her brother was a ravenclaw, with traits of slytherin. but her family loved her no matter what.
but, when the group of rebellious teenagers saw her enter the room of requirements one night, they’d went speechless. i mean, what was a snake doing in the lions den?
but fred and george, who were close with her brother — fred might have had the slightest crush on him — welcomed the slytherin girl with open arms, george had ruffled up her hair wildly, so she had to brush it down instantly with her hand to save her from the pure embarrassment.
“hello boys,” she said confidently, though the quiver in her tone didn’t help her.
“y/n,” said the two red haired twins, and fred even stuck his middle finger up to ron weasley, who was looking quite disgusted by his brothers.
“ignore him, childish git,” said george, as ron rolled his eyes and turned to harry, who was blindly staring at y/n.
the rest of the class went okay, despite some odd stares from the students that worked beside y/n. she didn’t feel uncomfortable anymore, the comforting atmosphere that the twins have off was easily welcoming.
just as y/n was about to walk out of the room, she heard ron and harrys — and maybe a faint tone of hermione — conversation. and she walked slower.
“come on, mate, shes a slytherin, you shouldn’t let her in here — what is she goes to umbridge now?” said weasley, his tone was frustrating.
“she’s friends with your brothers ron, how can you say that?” said potter, and ron just scoffed.
“yeah, well, we can knock some sense into those two aswell. i’m telling you, mate, she’s bad news, right hermione?” said weasley, and there was a brief silence before —
“i think rons right, harry. she’s not trustworthy, all slytherins have teamed up with umbridge, what makes her any different?” said granger, and potter gave a defeated sigh. “just let her down easy, it’s better to be on the safe side rather than a risky one . . .”
“no, i won’t do it! you do it, it’s not me who ever wanted to rid of her in the first place, so it’s your move. dont bring me into this. it’s not just me who organised this thing,” said potter, and there were angry footsteps heading towards the exit.
and then every breath, step and noise was gone, and y/n was left alone in the room of requirements.

the next meeting was worse for ron and hermione, they had both argued over who’d break the news until harry had pushed them both to say. but the problem was, y/n had never officially shown up to the meeting. much to fred and george’s disappointment — and ginny’s, who had been informed by fred and george who were family really was, and didn’t care much.
fred, ginny and george caught sight of ron and hermiones sweaty faces and strutted up to them, angrily.
“what did you two do?” said ginny, her fiery hair swinging side to side as she halted.
“i don’t know what you mean, gin —.” said hermione, but the twins were not having it.
“y/n said she was excited for the next meeting so why is she not here?” said fred.
“how are we supposed to know?!” ron said, his tone told them that he was annoyed with them.
and it wasn’t long before they had noticed that harry had left.

harry had searched everywhere for the slytherin girl, but no trace of her was spotted. he had stalked outside of the slytherin common room beneath his cloak. nothing. he had — somehow — snuck a glance into professor umbridge’s room. nothing. he’d went to the library. nothing. he’d checked the abandoned corridor. nothing.
he racked his brain, walking around the corridor — until he spotted a sign, stuck magically to the stone ground.
astronomy tower. restricted to all students.
harry groaned, contemplated his options and then zoomed up the staircase.
he found she sitting against a wall, a great view of the stars from where she sat. an open book was in her lap, and he traced each word with her finger.
her concentration was soon broken as harry tripped clumsily over nothing.
she laughed, though, and said, “you should watch where you’re going,”
“yeah,” harry chuckled, and stood up straight again. “um, i’m sorry for — er — distracting you,”
“oh, that’s alright, i like distractions, the chapter was getting quite dark anyway,” she snapped her book shut with a bang, and turned to harry whilst patting the ground.
harry hesitantly sat down, tucked his knees upwards, and crossed his arms on top.
“so . . .”
“you’re incredibly awkward, you know?” said y/n, smiling.
“i’ve been told,” laughed harry. “look, i’m sure you heard mine, ron and hermiones conversation yesterday —.”
“it’s alright, potter, i get it,” y/n said, and she concentrated on the stars again.
“no! no, no, it’s not fair to you, and i’m sorry,” said harry, turning fully to her.
“it’s fine, i promise, no hard feelings,” said y/n.

the next week was odd for harry, he’d always catch himself staring randomly at the slytherin table — or, to be exact, y/n y/l/n.
“harry, you’re staring again,” said hermione irritably. she’s grown more and more annoyed with y/n ever since harry had distracted himself with her rather than the da, and ron and hermione was sick of it. “she’s out of our meetings because she’s a slytherin, and now you’re obsessed with her, this is unbelievable, harry!”
“being a slytherin doesnt change anything, you know, remember when daphne greengrass —“
“distracted snape so that they wouldn’t catch us, yes i know! but not all of them are like that!” said hermione.
“exactly! you just said that not all of them are evil so why are you excusing her? her entire family are different houses, i don’t see why you are annoyed with her?”
“because, harry! you are being possessive over her! it’s unbelievable!” said hermione.
“oh my god, you’re such a hypocrite!” scoffed harry.
“how am i a hypocrite, exactly?!” hermione snapped.
“in fourth year, when lavender said she’d ask ron to the ball, you got so defensive and for what! she wasn’t even talking to you!” harry blurted.
“that’s — thats is different — !” hermione stuttered.
“no it’s not! you are just babying me because of what happened with cedric and acting like i need extra special treatment because everyone hates me! well guess what hermione, it’s not the first time everyone has hated me!” harry snapped, in a hushed whisper, and then collected his bag and walked out of the great hall, leaving hermione guilty.

“harry?” said y/n, as the door to the room of requirements slammed open. y/n spent her time eating in there before the da happened, as malfoy and his gang would bully her and judge her for her size.
“y/n? what’re you doing in here?” said harry, as he turned and saw her in the corner, sat on a pile of cushions with a plate of food on her lap.
“come in here to eat, s’all,” y/n shrugged, and ate more of her turkey sandwich and beckoned harry forward.
“you come in here all the time?” said harry, sitting down beside her.
“used to, cant anymore,” she said, and harry frowned.
“sorry,” he said.
“it’s alright, no harm done. why’re you here anyway?” said y/n, offering harry a sandwich, which he happily took.
“ron and hermione are pissing me off,” he said, then bit into the sandwich.
“oh?” said y/n, and harry wondered how a simple oh could be so attractive.
“yeah, saying i can’t be friends with you n’ stuff,” he said, and leaned backwards.
“you want to be friends with me?” she said, rather surprised.
“well, yeah,” said harry, as though it were obvious. “you’re cool, and nice and pretty and y’know . . . stuff,”
“you’re cool, and nice and pretty and y’know . . . stuff too, mr potter,” y/n said, and harrys heart fluttered.
“so . . . friends?” he said awkwardly.
“you’re cute when you’re awkward,” said y/n, with a grin on her face.
harry groaned, “shush, just answer. please,”
“of course i’ll be your friend harry,” she said, and harry smiled.

the week after that, ron and hermione were rather lonely, harry had barely spoken to them other than arranging the next da meeting, and spent the rest of his time with y/n.
soon, he’d introduced her to the invisibility cloak, which she presented the idea of him sneaking into the slytherin common room during their free periods.
she only shared a room with daphne greengrass, the other two slytherin girls had left hogwarts to stay home with their mothers and fathers due to lord voldemort’s reappearance.
and daphne soon caught them studying, and never stopped talking about it when harry had left.
“no, thats the sirius star, and that is orion’s belt,” said y/n, studying astronomy with harry, as he wasn’t extremely known to space.
“but —.”
the door had swung open, revealing a blond daphne greengrass, who’d frozen, with a smirk growing in seconds.
“potter,” she greeted.
“greengrass”, harry said awkwardly.
“tori just said she’ll be up here so . . . i’d recommend leaving?” said daphne.
“tori?” said harry.
“astoria greengrass, um, well, i’ll see you tomorrow?” y/n asked hopefully, and harry nodded, and as daphne went into the bathroom, he planted a bold kiss to her cheek, threw on the cloak and departed without another word.
“oh,” said y/n, touching the spot he had kissed and grinning lazily.

y/n was down bad. after the last week, and the kiss to her cheek, she couldn’t say harrys name without smiling or blushing. and daphne had spotted it.
“i know you have a crush on him,” she said.
“alright, fine! i do! i do . . . i really really do, but he doesn’t like me!” said y/n, and she turned away from daphne, cutting her off whenever she tried to speak.
it wasn’t until the next day that y/n’s chances of being in a relationship with harry were broken, because she’d overheard ron, hermione and harrys conversations — who’d all agreed that harry could be friends with who he wishes without any interruptions.
“you what?” said ron, and y/n could tell he was grinning from his tone.
“kissed cho,” said harry, quietly, and guiltily, but y/n hadn’t picked that up just yet.
“but — i though you liked —“
“cho. i liked — like cho,” harry cut hermione short.
“that’s great, mate,” said ron, and clapped harrys shoulder, just as y/n began to run off.
her hopes had come crashing down upon her like a tidal wave, an immediate feeling of dread. her mood was ruined.

the next day was rather horrific, she’d found out that arthur weasley had been in a terrible snake accident, and then she was to be transferred back home by train, to meet her mother, father, and brother.
yet again, said there had left hours after they had come home, and didn’t return until two days before she’d go back to hogwarts.
“potter told me to give you this,” said her mother, and handed her a letter.
“oh — thanks?” said y/n, and opened the letter.
hi, i’m sure you’ve heard about mr weasleys attack thing, i’m sorry i couldn’t say bye to you, had a lot going on, miss you, by the way. ,harry.
she smiled, but then it dropped.
oh how she wished to be cho chang.

when y/n and harry were back at hogwarts, harry spent no time in grabbing his cloak and travelling to the slytherin dorms.
he’d snuck quietly up to the girls dormitories to find it empty besides one. y/n.
he threw the cloak off and dived in her, pushing them both on the bed, y/n laid on her stomach, laughing.
“harry?” she asked, as the laughter died down.
“the one and only,” harry smiled cockily.
harry climbed off of her, and sat with his legs crossed on her bed like a child.
“you’re adorable,” said y/n, and he blushed.
she went to her wardrobe, opened it and oiled her clothes inside, and then asked, with an immense amount of dread —
“caught up with cho, yet?”
and there was silence, before —
“oh my god you saw,” said harry. “saw us kiss — ?”
“no, no, god no!” said y/n, with a light chuckle. “overheard you n’ hermione n’ ron talking, ive got to stop doing that.”
“you’re not mad at me, are you?” said harry stupidly.
“why would i be mad, exactly?” y/n turned and sat on the bed.
“because i don’t actually like cho,” said harry.
“what? but you — you kissed her?” said y/n.
“to . . . get my mind off of you,” he said, and regretted it almost immediately, but said, “because i like you. like a lot.”
y/n was surprised to say the least, she’d expected anything but that.
“you what?” she said.
“i like you,”
and the next second, he was rambling about how he shouldn’t have said anything, and how you’d never go for someone as well known as him, someone who’s draw attention to you, saying that he didn’t was this to ruin their friendship —
she silenced him with a kiss. and he fell silent alright. leaning back against the girls headboard, so that she had full access to sit on his lap, which she did, as they continued to kiss in a rather passionate way.
“i like you too,” she said against his lips, and then reattached them.
this has not been proofread so i’m sorry if there are mistakes
