A/N: This was for the rps prompt 'say no more' in the Harry/Astoria list.
Astoria placed her finger on his lips, "Say no more, Harry."
They stood there in silence just staring at each other. This moment would either make or break their relationship and Harry hoped that his honesty would count for something.
"Astoria…" he said hesitantly.
"I'm not mad at you. I know it's not your fault that Daphne has confused you defending her as something more than it is. She should know that you would do that for any witch, but she is still my sister. I don't want to break her heart," she replied.
"I don't want to either, but I'm going to have to."
"I think she already knows that she made a mistake by the way she was this afternoon," Astoria told him.
"I didn't want to hurt her, but I love you and didn't want to betray you like that," Harry confessed.
"I know you didn't,"she said softly.
"What are we going to do?" he asked.
"I think we need to break up. I know it's not what we want," she said, holding her hand up to stop him from interrupting, "But I can't let her find out about us. She would be even more devastated to realise that she had to see her sister with the man she loved."
"I understand," Harry said hanging his head.
"I'm sorry, Harry. Maybe in a few months time when she has had time to move on we can start dating again. I just can't see her even more upset," Astoria apologised.
"I will speak to her tomorrow and clear things up. I love you, Astoria," Harry said before walking away.
