Sleeping Warrior Week part 2 - Day 2: Crossover AU (Harry Potter)

Mulan and Aurora are normal Hogwarts students deciding on which career path to take.

"Aurora, I really don't think I'm fit to be a national Quidditch player."

"Oh nonsense. You've been the youngest seeker chosen since Harry Potter and that was 20 years ago."

"But."

"And you're a girl. That's mad representation you'll be doing on the team."

Two seventh-years, one a Gryffindor, the other a Hufflepuff, were sitting in front of the Gryffindor commonplace, talking about their future. Aurora argued her girlfriend Mulan, the youngest and best seeker Hufflepuff has seen should continue the sport professionally. Mulan of course, argued that she does not have the talent to do such.

"Oh please. With your skills, you'll break the oldest retiring age record if anyone's keeping track of that. Besides, have you seen yourself fly?"

Mulan sighed and kissed her sweet Gryffindor love.

"No, but you did convince me that I can quite fly."

"You soar majestically."

Aurora said dreamily. That earned her a bonk on the nose, but it was totally worth it. Aurora laughed gleefully.

"Aw look at the two lovebirds getting all lovesick at each other."

"Leave us alone, Swan."

"Come on, Mulan. Be a nice sport. You are in our house's dormitory after all."

Mulan rolled her eyes. She and Aurora agreed to visit and sleep over each other's dorms, taking turns. While Aurora was nice enough to let her stay in Mulan's sleeping chambers be longer than Mulan in Aurora's, Mulan still came to the Gryffindor common rooms. And she was still noticeably irritated at the said visits. Two of their friends, Emma Swan and Ruby Ahlf are the most loyal and wonderful beings one could ask for a friend, but their reputation as tricksters were cutting close to the legendary Weasley twins. And even as seventh years, they were currently showing off that exact title. Mulan groaned and held the bridge of her nose. Aurora merely giggled and kissed her cheek.

"Be nice."

Aurora whispered. Mulan rolled her eyes again as she heard her friends coo at them. She gave them a nice glare and threw a cushion squarely into Emma's face. Emma was the more annoying one out of the two.

"Give us some privacy or I'll conjure up a Bludger in place of that cushion."

"You're a seeker!"

"You know as well as I that I can bloody beat up any of the beaters at their own game."

Sensing that this could get a little nasty, Aurora looked up from her seat in front of the fireplace and at her friends. Ruby was hardly trying to keep in her sniggers while Emma was terribly flabbergasted.

"It's not her night, guys. We'll see you tomorrow?"

After their two friends ran into their rooms, Aurora continued the conversation from earlier.

"Why are you so worked up tonight? Is this just because I said you should be a professional Quidditch player?"

Mulan mumbled. Unable to comprehend what Mulan had just said, Aurora asked her again to repeat.

"I don't want to be away from you that long of a time… Sure, maybe I could become one of those professional seekers. But that means, extra traveling… away from you."

"Mulan…"

"I know, it's a stupid reason. But I wanted to do something more meaningful to me. And what's meaningful to me is whatever I can do for you. And I thought maybe, I could be an Auror and protect you. Not that you're not capable of protecting yourself, but-"

Mulan never got to finish her rant because Aurora kissed her right then and there. Aurora kissed Mulan's lips, her eyes, her nose… Every part of Mulan that she loved.

"What's most meaningful to me is what's meaningful to you."

Aurora said breathlessly in between kisses.

"If being an Auror is where your passion lies, then do it."

She tenderly caressed her girlfriend's face.

"But don't say I never told you that you are strikingly attractive on that broomstick in game."

Finally, Mulan laughed for the first time that night. Maybe she could be a successful Quidditch player first, to show off just for Aurora. And then she could apply to be an Auror. Or maybe she'll stick to her plan, but play for Aurora privately. But for now, she decided to crumple away their future career plans while she and Aurora enjoyed in each other's company.

Hours later, before they closed in for the night, Mulan whispered into Aurora's ear.

"I never plan to forget how I wooed you in the first place."
