I.
He is strong and brave, everything that Gryffindor stands for. Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, a living legend.
He notices you. Even if he doesn't seem to enjoy your company, you still offer it.
II.
You take pictures of him, whether he's looking or not. Sometimes, you send them home with little lies about how close you two are, about how much Harry adores you. Your father seems pleased that you're making friends.
Mostly, you keep the photographs to yourself, hidden away from prying eyes. When your roommates fall asleep, you pull out the pictures and let your finger trail over his face and his strange scar.
You wish you could touch his skin, not just an image.
III.
He doesn't like you, doesn't want you around. Still, you keep trying. One day, you're sure, he'll realize your worth.
