A/N: Hello there, I am back with a brand new story. This story is completed. I have written the whole thing so those of you who may be returning from my last run here on , I promise you that this story does have an ending and will be finished. I have had this story in mind for years and I've finally decided to run with it. Anyway, without further to do, I proudly present to you: Not All Mistakes Are Bad. Read, Review and enjoy!
SUMMARY: AU. OC. Leanna Moore has had a crush on Harry Potter since her third year. Harry has had a crush on Leanna since he met her in his second year. When one mistake leads them on a path neither of them planned, they have to learn how to navigate through this new life. Will their relationship remain strong or will their situation prove too tough? ""We were just having fun." He paused again to shake his head. He couldn't believe his stupidity. "We didn't even think." He repeated."
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. DON'T SUE ME.
Leanna Moore rushed out of bed, cursing loudly. She was late. Again. She rushed around the room struggling to put on her uniform and gain some control of the mad bush of hair on top of her head. She checked herself over once in the mirror and sighed in frustration. There was no use and she was running too late to care. With one last glance in the mirror, She swung her bag over her shoulder and started running out of the common room towards her classroom for the morning.
She ran through the deserted corridors and tried to ignore the burning in her lungs from where she was out of shape. She heard students laughing as she ran past their classrooms. This was a common occurrence for her, despite having numerous alarms set, she almost always managed to sleep through them all.
She rushed through the door of her transfiguration class and slid into her seat next to her best friend, Ginny Weasley. She was panting due to her lack of breath and looked very flushed. Ginny laughed at her and shook her head.
"Nice of you to join us Miss Moore." Professor McGonnagal greeted looking over the top of her glasses from her seat behind her large, oak desk.
"I'm sorry Professor." Leanna mumbled. The professor nodded and went back to her reading. Leanna released a sigh of relief. She was late at least once a week. She had been from day one. It wasn't her fault, she was just a very disorganised person.
"Over slept again?" Ginny asked. Leanna just nodded. Ginny shook her head. She slid her notes across the table for her friend to copy.
"You really need a better alarm clock." Ginny commented as Leanna began to copy her notes. Leanna just stuck her tongue out at her friend. She'd had several new alarm clocks over the years and none of them had helped her with the always being late situation.
The rest of the day passed without an issue. Leanna had been on time to all her remaining lessons and along with Ginny now found herself going to watch Gryffindor's quidditch practice.
The evening was a pleasant one. Despite it being early October, there was still warmth in the air. The sun was starting to lower slowly. The lights were lit on the Quidditch pitch. Ginny hugged her friend and rushed off to the changing rooms to join the team. Leanna waved her off and then headed up to meet Hermione in the stands.
"So you were late again this morning Lee?" Hermione questioned as Leanna sat down next to her. Leanna looked at her in disbelief.
"Do you seriously know everything?" She asked. Hermione shook her head and smiled.
"I saw you running past our classroom this morning." Hermione explained. Leanna made an o shape with her mouth and nodded. She then looked down at the team who were just assembling in a circle on the pitch. Leanna looked at Harry, the captain. A smile came to her lips as she watched him address the team. They'd met during Leanna's first year at Hogwarts. She didn't know anyone when she arrived. She didn't even know much about the wizarding world. Ginny was the first person to talk to her once they'd been sorted. It was then Ginny who introduced her to Harry. Leanna instantly knew Harry would be her friend and within weeks Harry was helping her study and find her feet in the magical world. They'd connected over the fact that they were both from a muggle background and being a year older than her, Harry was a guide on how to cope in the magical world.
She'll always remember the first time he showed her how to play wizard's chess. She'd never even played normal chess so first Harry had to teach her the rules of chess. He then showed her how to move her way across the board. It soon back fired on him when she became unbeatable in the game now whenever they had a spare moment, they would play a game. It was kind of their thing.
"I know that look." Hermione whispered into Leanna's ear. Leanna looked at her with an eyebrow raised.
"What look?" She questioned, playing dumb. She would never confess her feelings. She'd been hiding them for two years now. Harry wouldn't want someone like her. He was cool and popular and she was just her.
"The way you look when you watch Harry." Hermione replied. Leanna scoffed and shook her head.
"I'm not watching Harry, I'm watching the whole team. I love the whole team." Leanna tried to cover the truth but Hermione just shook her head. She wasn't going to fall for it that easily.
"I know that's rubbish." Hermione said. Like with Harry, Leanna connected with Hermione because of their backgrounds. Hermione was Leanna's guardian angel and had helped her many times during her five years at Hogwarts. She always knew what Leanna was feeling, most of the time before even Leanna knew. She was wise and caring. She gave the best advice. She was also really funny. The girls spent most of their time together laughing.
"Just admit it Lee." Hermione said nudging her friend with her shoulder. "You have a crush on Harry." She finished. Leanna shook her head violently.
"I do not." Leanna denied. Hermione laughed.
"I know that's not true, we've all seen the smile you get on your face when you see him in the Great Hall." Hermione said, smiling herself. "We've also seen the way he smiles at you when he sees you." She added with a wink. Leanna shook her head. She'd been crushing on Harry since her third year at Hogwarts. She knew that there was nothing she could do about it. She'd seen him date numerous girls since then, all of them prettier and better than her. She sighed to herself.
"You need to talk to him." Hermione urged. Leanna shook her head.
"I can't Hermione, he doesn't like me in that way." Leanna said sadly. She sighed as she watched him kick off from the floor and ascend into the air. Hermione squeezed her hand.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." She whispered. They'd lowered their voices now that the team were in the air and could hear them. Leanna raised her eyebrow at her friend.
"What do you mean?" She asked. Hermione smiled at her.
"Just wait for him after practice and walk back to the castle with him." She suggested. Leanna nodded. She was going to wait any way, she always did. She nodded.
"Okay, I'll do it." Leanna confirmed to her friend. A bubble of excitement mixed with a rising wave of nerves flipped around in her belly. She grinned at her friend and started to plan what she would say to Harry on their walk back up to the castle.
