it was the annual winter ball. Hermione and I had spent the whole day preparing what we were wearing. I was watching a sky blue tulle dress almost like a muggle princess. As we walked down the stairs the boys stared in awe at our outfits 
"bloody hell" ron murmered not able to take his eyes off hermione who looked completely different. She was wearing a yellow tulle poofy dress with gold illustrations of leaves and flowers. Harry just stared in awe at my gorgeous dress, speechless. We were just supposed to be friends but i knew that i wouldn't want to be with anyone else. As a reached the last stair harry took my hand and led me into the great hall that was decorated with snow, icicles, and even small christmas trees. It looked like a winter wonderland. We went straight to the dance floor.

The dance floor was crowded with people but  all  in sync. We found a place and danced. 
"You look gorgeous" Harry finally spoke. I smiled taking in the way he looked at me in awe. Our bodies moved in sync with the music and eachother.

 we had been dancing for two hours but it felt like only twenty minutes when a slow song came on

mr loverman but it's slowed starts playing 

Rain pattered against the giant windows in harmony to the song that played in the background.  I had never felt so in place.

Harry hasn't taken his eyes off me all night. I had never felt so comfortable with someone. 
"y/n theres a reason I asked you tonight" my stomach fluttered. Maybe this was it, maybe he was finally going to tell me he feels the same way.

"I have always had feelings for you, ever since I saw you at the gryffindor table in the great hall years ago. You're gorgeous and I can't take my eyes off you, you make me feel alive but also at peace. When I'm with you i'm not the boy who lived, I'm harry. 

I had been waiting for this for what felt like an eternity, suddenly all the words I had meaning to say for years flew out.

"Harry i feel the same way,when we're together it feels like no one else is there even if we are in the great hall at breakfast with everyone and Hermione is sitting right next to me. You make me feel safe, all my fears just float away when I'm with you. Mostly you make me a better version of myself."

We continued to waltz around the dance floor to the beat of the music utterly consumed by each others love. It felt like everyone else had faded away, all that mattered was him. We danced like no one else existed.
