Prompt 13: Mistletoe🎄

Requested by @-butterbeer-and I hope you enjoy :)

You and Harry were best friends since the first year, along with Ron and Hermione of course. But what you didn't know was that your best friend Harry had a huge crush on you since a really long time. It's been like, forever since he remembered falling in love with you yet till date he never confessed his feelings to you. Why? Because he was a bit nervous. He was nervous and scared that you might stop talking to him and think he's a weirdo and a creep and he didn't want to lose both of your special relationship you had with each other, even if it was just friendship

Another thing you were completely oblivious to was that Ron and Hermione, your other two best friends were platonic yanderes for you too and ever since they got to know about Harry's crush on you, they've been trying to help him get even closer to you. They kept reassuring him that you'd grow to love him and they'd take care of anyone who'd come in their way and by 'take care' you all very well know EXACTLY what I mean

On one side Harry was losing his sanity day by day, thinking about when would be the perfect and right time and place to confess his feelings for you. These days he started thinking, the sooner he'd confess his feelings for you the better, at least then other guys around Hogwarts would stop looking at you. Gods, he felt utterly ENRAGED when other people looked at you, even for more than a second, he literally wanted to pluck their eyes out. It just made his blood boil with anger the way other guys used to stare at you, and he knows all the thoughts going on and brewing in those numbskull heads of theirs since he is a guy after all and he knows what they might be thinking about you

Day by day, each time he saw you do something, he couldn't help but fall more deeper and harder in love with you. You know the saying, too much of anything is bad, well that's exactly what happened to him here in this scenario. He fell too much in love with you, it wouldn't even be called love anymore, it was an obsession. He was obsessed with you, he started to grow desperate to have you, like how a drowning man needs air to survive. He started having deep, dark and twisted thoughts about you and even started creating scenarios where the two of you were already dating and would get married too one day. He'd even started using his invisibility cloak and the Marauder's map to stalk you. His friends were of no help either since they were helping him after all

And on the other hand, there was you. Unaware of your friends' intentions and what they had planned in store for you in the future. You were in Divination class at the moment but you weren't focusing what Professor Trelawney was saying since at is you didn't really like Divination in the first place, your parents forced you to take it and you didn't really think any of Professor Trelawney's predictions would come true, not even if hell froze over. "Miss L/N? Miss L/N?" Professor Trelawney's voice rang though your ears and you were snapped from your chain of thoughts and looked at Professor Trelawney standing in front of you

"Please show me the progress you have made with your crystal ball and your observations'' she stated and you glanced at your notebook and to your intense horror, you didn't actually write anything in it. All this while you were busy day dreaming about something and now you were going to be in trouble if you didn't tell her what you observed in that damned glass ball. So, you decided to improvise and use one of your many talents: Making stuff up

"Uhh... let's see....'' you muttered and pretended to think thoughtfully for a few moments and then spoke "I've observed some... uhh... greyish smoke which indicates that.... there's trouble along the way and some silver and golden smoke too which also indicates that it'll pass and I'll be safe?" you finished in a meek voice hoping she'd buy it and go to the next student to ask them about their findings. However you were out of luck that day since she wasn't impressed with your performance and she spoke "My dear, you need more practice in this. Gaze and look closer into the ball, there is black and red smoke.... which means you will have to face danger and threats.... many of them'' she drawled off in her mystical voice and you muttered "Why not just tell me someone's going to kidnap me as well one day'' under your breath and she looked at you and spoke "What was that Miss L/N?" and you hastily replied "Nothing professor, I was saying how you're absolutely right and look out for myself''

Then claiming she had your best interests in her heart for you, since you needed more practice in the subject of crystal balls, she assigned only you a special essay on the History of crystal balls and what all could be found in it. And the deadline was due tomorrow, a day before Christmas. What a bummer, you wouldn't be able to go to Hogsmeade and enjoy with the rest of your friends on Christmas eve, instead you'd be sitting and completing an essay for a hocus pocus subject like Divination. You kept cursing Trelawney under your breath after class was done and when you bumped into your friends, Harry, Ron and Hermione, you called Trelawney a 'glittering insect with bangles' and 'A mangy old bat with glasses' with made Harry almost spit his pumpkin juice out with amusement and Ron was busy chortling and laughing his head off. Hermione of course lectured you that you shouldn't be saying things like that to a teacher, but even she had a small smile on her face

You told them it was almost Christmas time and the things you planned on doing but you now had a stupid essay to finish and that's when a light bulb went off in all three of their heads. You just gave them an idea, and in indirect words, it also meant that you'd dug your own grave. After your lunch was done and you went to your next class, Muggle Studies, which was a class they weren't in, they had a free period and they were huddled in the library and talked quietly among themselves about how Harry could ask you out during Christmas. "If things go wrong, you can always use Amorentia'' said Hermione and Harry thought it was a good idea

Harry offered to help you with your Divination essay much to your happiness and when you thanked him, you made him feel flustered and embarrassed but he still loved to hear praises from you. And whenever both of your hands would touch each others, his breathing would become hitched and he was literally thanking his stars that he got this opportunity to be with you. You felt so tired that after you were done with your essay, you literally slept on the couch in the Gryffindor common room and Harry couldn't help but drink in your beautiful features. You looked like a true angel, so beautiful and cute. He caressed your cheek lovingly, placed a gentle kiss to your forehead and pulled a blanket up to you, and held you close to his chest. He didn't like seeing you stressed out and worked up but don't worry, all that would change after you both would start going out

It was soon Christmas eve and you were glad you finally finished your damned essay and you handed it in to Professor Trelawney. After class was done, you told your friends you had no idea why you were even taking that class in the first place and that she keeps going on and on about someone doings something dangerous to you and something ominous would happen to you. Harry got the feeling she was talking about him and what he'd do to you on Christmas so he told you to brush it off, it was nothing and it's not like her predictions ever came true. Little did you know, they most certainly would come true. It was soon Christmas and Harry decided to invite you to the Room of Requirement where he'd ask you out

You arrived there and you saw Harry standing in the room and he finally got a huge burden off his chest as he told you how you felt. And you were starting to blush when you heard his confession and what made you even more flustered was that you both were standing under Mistletoe, which Harry had purposefully put there by the way. He made sure the room was full of mistletoe, so no matter where you both stood, you'd end up kissing him anyways. He pointed above and you blushed after seeing the mistletoe, but nevertheless agreed to kiss him. He swore he died and went to heaven, he gently placed his lips on yours, and it was a slow yet sensual kiss, full of passion and feelings. This was the day he'd waited for so long. You agreed to go out with him which made Harry quite pleased. If only you'd listened to Professor Trelawney's predictions, you wouldn't have to face so many obstacles that were yet to come your way.... after all, two of her predictions already came true....
