A/N: Based off of this quote: "When I saw you, I was afraid to meet you. When I met you, I was afraid to kiss you. When I kissed you, I was afraid to love you. Now that I love you, I am afraid to lose you."

When I saw you, I was afraid to meet you.

I saw you on Platform 9 ¾, standing with your family. Your younger sister hugged your legs, pleading you not to leave, but you told her that she had to be a good girl and her time to go to Hogwarts would come soon. Your parents kissed you farewell, and you promised to write. Your older brother told you he'd hex anyone if they messed with you and he lifted your trunk onto the train. As the train rolled out, you and your brother waved goodbye to your parents and teary-eyed sister. You were the perfect, loving family. And so I was afraid to meet you- would you think badly of me, or make fun of me?

When I met you, I was afraid to kiss you.

Second year, transfiguration. I was paired with you. That was probably the only good thing that old coot Dumbledore ever did. At first, I was apprehensive. I still remember that day. You smiled brightly at me and said, "Hi, my name's Karen." Your smile shone out in my dreary first day of classes. I didn't even have to try to be cordial to you. You brought out some unknown kindness in me. This scared me inside because I couldn't let a girl get in the way of my plans to take over the world. I couldn't get to close to you. I was afraid to kiss you and ruin my plans.

When I kissed you, I was afraid to love you.

By fifth year, we were study partners. Walking out of the library together on December 17, we were chatting about the book Bathlida Bagshot was rumoured to have been writing. Then we were stuck under a bundle of mistletoe. Of course, I acted like it was no big deal and leant over to kiss you, but when we did, I was lost in the feel of it for a second, though it felt much longer than that. If you could make me loose control like this after one second, I couldn't let it happen again.

Now that I love you, I am afraid to lose you.

After spending so much time together, you were my closest friend. I couldn't stand it when we didn't have class together or you were with your other friends. I think it was then I realized that I loved you.
