Waiting For My Love by SClownzZzZz
Chapter Twelve: And Harry's True Love Is…
Harry is standing on the table in the common room with Voldemort, Draco and Hedwig surrounding him. Voldemort turns to him confused, "Why did you stop talking Harry?"
Harry turns around on the table and looks at him, "Huh?"
"Yeah," Draco confirms, "You were about to tell us who your true love is and you stopped mid-sentence."
Harry blushes and rubs the back of his head in embarrassment, "Well, uh, to tell you guys the truth, I was kinda hoping that everyone in Hogwarts would be here for the big announcement."
"Oh," Voldemort responds, "Well, give us a few minutes."
Five Hours Later:
Everyone in Hogwarts is crammed inside of the common room staring impatiently at Harry. Voldemort turns to Harry, his arms crossed.
"Well, everyone's here boy. Now tell us the big secret!"
"Yeah," Ron adds, "Who's your true love?"
Harry smiles and breathes in, trying to hide his excitement, "Alright everyone," Harry begins, "This is it. After eleven chapters of waiting, you're finally going to know who my true love is. Well, I don't want to keep you guys waiting any longer. My true love is-"
"Hi everybody!" Dobby exclaims walking into the room waving at the crowd, "How is everyone?"
"Not now Dobby," Draco chimes in, "Harry's about to tell us who his true love is."
"Yeah! We're all been waiting years for this!" Neville says.
"Oh, well about Harry's true love-" Dobby begins.
"Which is what we were about to get to," Draco interrupts, "Go on Harry."
Harry turns to all of them, his face turning red, "Uhh, the truth is…Dobby is my true love."
"WHAT?" everyone exclaims.
"You mean to tell us that the character pairing on this story was accurate?" Ron speaks, shocked.
"Yep," Harry replies.
"Who would've known?" Ron says in awe.
"Well, I guess we'll just be going now..." Dumbledore says to Harry, as everyone turns to exit the room.
"Yeah, see you later Harry," Hermione says.
In a few minutes everyone exits the room, leaving only Harry, Dobby and Draco behind.
Draco looks to Harry and sighs, "So uh, congratulations," he says.
Harry smiles awkwardly, "Oh uh, thanks Draco."
"Well, see you tomorrow," Draco speaks before exiting the room, his eyes to the floor.
Harry sighs before sitting down on the couch next to Dobby, "Well, I'm glad that's over."
"Yeah," Dobby responds, "Me too."
There is silence in the room. Dobby turns to Harry, "Harry?"
"Yes Dobby?" Harry responds.
"Can I just ask you one thing?" Dobby asks.
"Sure," Harry replies, "What is it my true love?"
"What happened at the Christmas Party…?"
