Tell Me One Hundred Times
Chapter One: Reality Check
Note to self: Next time you decide to embarrass yourself attempting to flirt with a guy, don't make it Harry Potter.
Newsflash to self: He chose her, not you. Wake up and realise that he doesn't like you.
Reality check: Him asking you for two Sickles for the Knight Bus is not flirting. He loves her.
Oh, but I love him. He so sweet and kind and generous and brave and chivalrous, though he does think he can do everything better than everybody else, but he treats me like a normal person and doesn't think I'm a loony. The only thing I'd ask from him is to love me. I wouldn't ask for a wedding ring or for kissing or for a baby or anything, just to know that he loves me. When I look in his eyes I'm sure he returns my feelings. And there was that incident with the long-stemmed roses and Firewhisky.
It all started on Valentine's Day when I received an anonymous bunch of long-stemmed red roses. I was so touched when I recognised Harry's handwriting that I went round to his flat with a bottle of Firewhisky. He drank it all and we kissed. We fell asleep and when we awoke he told me it had been a mistake and he loved her and not me. Never me.
I know that we can never be together. Yet I still cry for him at night and my heart still aches when I see them together. I need to take a reality check, I know. But I can't help hoping that one day he will present me with ring set with an emerald and engraved with L.L. + H.J.P. Some day, I will make him marry me. This is my solemn promise.
