Half Giant Romance
Harry gulped nervously as he followed behind Hagrid silently as he listened to the half giant going on about the newest magical creature he had decided to use for his class.
"It is a mother and son pair, they have really big teeth and the females look like bright pink muggle balloons whiles the males look like sunshine yellow balloons," Hagrid lectured as he shot Harry a grin making Harry smile shyly in response.
"Amazing, I cannot believe that there are magical creatures that look like muggle balloons!" Harry said with a small smile making Hagrid blush, "I always thought that the balloon type magical creatures belonged in muggle children movies."
"And so did a lot of wizards before this magical creature was discovered!" Hagrid boasted proudly, "But before I show you this amazing magical creature Harry I hope you do not mind but I have something I would like to share with you."
"Okay Hagrid," Harry replied with a nod of his head making Hagrid sigh in relief, in all honesty he was just happy that he could spend time with his secret crush without looking like a complete freak or weirdo, "What is it?"
"I...I guess taking you back to my hut would be rather pointless as everyone is down in Hogsmade at the moment," Hagrid said answered as he slowly came to a stop just a few feet away from his hut, "And well..."
"Hagrid, no matter what it is nothing you can say will get rid of me," Harry said as he shot Hagrid a comforting smile, "You mean too much to me for anything silly to come between us."
"Thank you Harry, but it does not stop me from being any nervous," Hagrid replied as he came to a sop and turned around to face Harry.
"Well just take a deep breath and take it slowly," Harry said as he reached out and placed a comforting hand on Hagrid's larger hand making the half giant almost melt in response at the tender touch.
Hagrid nodded his head in reply, took a deep breath and allowed his mind to sort itself out. As he looked into Harry's bright emerald green eyes he found his heart begin to pound in his chest and his stomach began to do summersaults. If he was ever going to tell his emerald eyed crush just how he felt then it would be now or never.
"Harry...we have known each other for six years now and well...we have really gotten to know each other well," Hagrid began as he tried to not make a fool of himself, "And I have...developed these feelings for you, of the romantic type. I was hoping that you would allow me to court you and for us to become lovers. So would you mind letting me be your boyfriend?"
As Hagrid's words slow sunk into Harry the emerald eyed teen stood stone still with wide eyes and stared at Hagrid in surprise and shock. To Hagrid, Harry's eyes told him everything that he needed to know. Hope, excitement, nerves, love and fear danced with the emerald green eyes that he loved so much and much to Hagrid's relief there was not a single hint of rejection or disguise.
"Hagrid...I...I have my own confession to make," Harry said slowly as he shyly looked up at Hagrid.
"You...you already have a lover don't you?" Hagrid asked sadly only for Harry to quickly speak up.
"No, I do not have a lover."
"Really?" Hagrid asked, his eyes shone once more with hope that he might have a chance with Harry.
"I have feelings for you too, feelings of the romantic sort," Harry replied shyly as he shot the half giant a quick look before looking down at his shoes, "I...I return your feelings Hagrid, a lot. Like you said I have fallen even more for you over the years as I have got to know you and now I know that I have fallen for you pretty hard. So...I accept you if you accept me."
"Oh Harry! My Harry!" Hagrid cried out in relief, excitement and happiness as he bent down and scooped Harry up into a big hug, "Thank you, thank you so much! I promise you that you will be spoilt beyond measure, you will wish for nothing! You will live in luxury and you will-"
"Hagrid! HAGRID!" Harry shouted out as he struggled to get free from Hagrid, "I need to breath! You are stopping me from breathing!"
At Harry's comment Hagrid quickly loosened his hold on Harry through he did not let go of Harry and kept him in his arms in a protective hold. As Harry caught his breath relief washed through him and a large happy smile blossomed on his chest. Hagrid was in a similar state to Harry through both of them wore silly love sick smiles on their faces.
"So how about you show me these amazing mother and son magical creatures, dear boyfriend of mine," Harry said only for his smile to grow when he said the word 'boyfriend'.
"Ah, right and afterwards I think I will show you my hunt again before the courting starts," Hagrid stuttered out, his checks going a rose red colour, "Do...do you mind if I carry you? It is just that I finally have you, as my lover, and well...I do not want to take any chances of losing you or you getting hurt."
A soft blush appeared on Harry's face, "You won't lose me Hagrid," Harry wrapped his arms around Hagrid as much as he could manage, "Even if I died I would still be with you in spirit. I'm afriad that you are stuck with me."
"Oh?" Hagrid asked with a grin as his eyes sparkled with happiness and love.
"Yup," Harry replied with a large grin on his face, "I love you Hagrid, and now that I finally have you and I know that you return my feelings I will not be letting you go anytime soon or in the long run!"
"Good," Hagrid said as he lent down and placed a kiss on Harry's head, "I like the thought of that a lot."
The End.
