IRL
Harry woke up early on the day of his and Y/n's date. He got ready quickly, but he took awhile standing in front of the mirror and fixing everything until he looked as good as he could. He was sure this was the most effort he had ever put into the way he looked.
"Harry?" Ron muttered groggily, "what're ya doing?"
"Nothing" Harry responded quickly.
"Ohh that's rightttt you have a date today" Ron said teasingly.
"Yes I do"
"Looking good" Ron nodded to him.
"Thanks"
"So that means I'm stuck with Herman today, huh?"
"Yeahhh 'stuck with'" Harry teased.
"Shouldn't you be going soon?"
"Oh- yeah you're right- Kay bye Ron!" Harry shouted and began running to Ravenclaw tower.
He was out of breath by the time he reached the Ravenclaw common room and waited outside, huffing and puffing. Once catching his breath, he pulled out his wand and the folded piece of parchment he had in his pocket. He then, transfigured it into a small bouquet of flowers, just as Sirius had told him.
"Shit- close enough" he muttered.
After brushing himself off, he leaned his back against the wall and waited for Y/n.
After five minutes, this proved to be quite the difficult task.
He began overthinking if all this just a cruel joke on him. If Y/n still hated him and wanted to humiliate him by stringing him along. Harry was about to leave when Zhara stepped out of the common room.
"Hello" he greeted her.
She just looked him over and nodded, "she overslept. She'll be out soon"
"Oh- uh thank you"
"Mhmm"
Only a few moments after Zhara had left, Y/n came rushing out into the hall.
"Hey! Sorry, I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long. I must have overslept" she apologized while pulling on her jacket.
"Oh no I just got here a minute ago" Harry lied.
He glanced at the paper flowers in his hand and awkwardly thrusted them out towards her.
"For me?" She grinned.
He nodded.
"Jeez Potter, didn't know we're such a romantic" she teased and took the 'flowers'.
"You look- um good" he gave a sheepish smile. He remembered that Sirius had told him to compliment her, but when he looked at her, that was all he could say.
"You look- um good too" she mocked him.
He smiled at her and took a deep breath, "Alright- you, um, ready to go?"
"Yup"
The two began walking to Hogsmeade. Harry was reciting everything Sirius had told him, in his head.
1. Try to make conversation. (Was he supposed to be doing that now?)
2. Be interesting. (How the fuck was he supposed to do that?)
3. Don't make stupid jokes. (what classifies a joke as 'stupid'?)
4. Bring an extra jacket, even if you aren't cold. (what does this have to do with- ohhhhh)
5. Under absolutely NO circumstances should you be on your phone.
Harry dearly wished that he could text Sirius right now, just to help him figure out what to say.
"So, you said you were with your godfather over Christmas?"
"Er- yeah, he actually helped with advice on asking you out" He stopped himself and tried his best to keep him from smacking his forehead.
Y/n chuckled, "he seems cool"
"He thinks you're cool. Well, cooler than me."
She gave him a small look.
"Ok yeah, I know that many people are cooler than me"
"I wasn't gonna say that..." Y/n replied.
"Yes you were."
"Yes I was."
"Am I surprised? No."
She smiled at him, "so your godfather was the one who told you to throw at note at me to ask me out?"
"Well no, not exactly... he advised me in another, more outgoing, approach" Harry admitted.
"Hmm? And what did that include?"
"Let's just say... I actually had to speak"
"Aah yes, such a difficult task" Y/n tsk'd.
"For me, yes"
Y/n turned and smiled at him as they continued walking.
"So, um, I get the feeling your friend doesn't like me very much..."
"Zhara? Yeah... she's just a little upset that I'm going on this date"
Harry tried to ignore the way his heart slightly swarmed at the word 'date' coming from her.
"But I promised her I'd hang out with for the rest of the week. So, hopefully she won't be mad too much longer"
"She's mad at you?"
"That's not what I said"
"Oh. Brilliant."
"BriLliAnT"
"What?"
"You say that a lot"
"No I don't"
"Yeah you do"
Harry playfully rolled his eyes.
"So where are we headed?"
"It's a surprise"
Harry, of course, had planned out their whole date. That was another thing Sirius had told him, 'make plans so you're not winging it. That will never end well'.
"So, Three Broomsticks?"
"Whattttt noooo... totally notttt"
"You're a terrible liar" Y/n laughed, "though, I guess that isn't a bad thing"
When they got to three broomsticks, it was packed inside, and they were booth shocked to find a table.
"I'll go get us some butterbeers" Harry offered.
"Alright" Y/n smiled at him.
He walked over and ordered two butterbeers and began quietly mumbling to himself.
"You got this Harry. Don't screw this up. Follow Sirius' advice. You got this." He paid for the Butterbeer and went back over to where Y/n was sitting and rubbing her hands together for warmth.
"Here"
"Why thank you" she smiled at him.
She took as sip and closed her eyes, "mmm, exquisite"
Harry chuckled at her from across the table, "exquisite?"
"Indeed."
Harry shook his head with a smile.
"You truly are the most awkward person I've ever met"
"I- I'm not even going to argue that," He sighed.
"You can talk just fine when texting"
"Well texting isn't in person" he shrugged
"Am I that intimidating?" She joked.
"..."
"Really?!"
"Well, Ron told me that you just make me nervous- I need to stop talking" he slammed his head down on the table.
Y/n just laughed, "I make you nervous?"
"No... maybe..." he muttered.
"Harry, I don't hate you... anymore. You know that, right?"
"Yeah, I gathered that"
"And I guess I sorta, kinda like you"
"Wait- really?!"
"No. I'm here because I still hate you and want to bully you."
"See, that's what I've been worried about"
"You overthinking little shit" she sighed.
Harry felt his phone go off in his pocket but he ignored it, listening to his godfather's advice.
The dog father
The dog father: So Harry,

The dog father: but you're telling me everything later.

Once they both finished their butterbeers, they left to go to Honeydukes.
Y/n had walked around and ended up with a whole armful of different sweets.
"I needed a refill on my secret candy stash" she explained to a wide eyed Harry.
Once she went up to pay, Harry tried paying for her.
"No- Harry, I will not let you pay for all this" she argued.
"I don't mind, it's fine"
"No. Move." She tried body checking him out of the way.
"Ow! No, I'm paying and you can't stop me"
"Fine. Let me just put some of these back" Y/n began walking around and putting some of the sweets back.
What she didn't know, was that Harry was following her and picking up everything she put back.
She got back to the front with only three of the many things she had put back, and let out a gasp, "what are you doing!?"
"Oh, these are for me" Harry said cheekily.
"You bitch" she grumbled and shoved him out of the way so she could pay.
Once she finished she moved to the side so Harry could pay and then they both left.
"Oh, damn. I just realized all these sweets I bought are gonna go to waste" he sighed dramatically.
Y/n eyed him, "oh yeah and why's that?"
"Because I already have a bunch of sweets from Christmas... I guess I'll just have to throw these out..." he glanced over to find her rolling her eyes.
"Oh give me these, you arse!" She snatched the bag of sweets from his hand.
He grinned at her.
"You're so stupid" she muttered and shoved her shoulder into his.
"You're stupider"
"You're stupidist"
"You're- stupid times infinity HA!"
She rolled her eyes with a smile.
"Ugh, I swear when I get back to my dorm I'm going to put on every item of warm clothing I own, and lay in bed" Y/n shuddered and placed her hands on her face in an attempt to warm herself up.
Harry hesitantly wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"You cheeky little fucker" she laughed.
He began pulling his arm away but she put it back around her, "no no, keep it there"
He smiled and both of them leaned into each other as they walked.
Once they got back and were outside the Ravenclaw common room, Harry realized he didn't want his time with her to end.
"This was great, Harry. Thank you"
He did a over exaggerated double take, "have I finally earned the right to be called by my real name??"
"Don't get too cocky about that" she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Well, thank you, for agreeing to come on this date"
"We should do it again sometime... I'll text you?"
"Sounds good" he smiled.
"See you around, Barry"
"Nope, you already said Harry and you can never take it back-"
She kissed his cheek to potentially shut him up, which worked quite well. He went bright red and his mouth dropped open.
"Bye" she said and left him there.
