Written for Lamia's 'The Weird Prompt Strikes Back!' Daily Competition.

Prompt: Harry/Parvati


Harry shifted on his feet nervously as he sat by the fireplace the morning after the Yule Ball. Last night wasn't really what he expected it to be. He wanted to have some fun with his best mate Ron and their dates, but jealousy was eating him up. Plus, he didn't even grant Parvati a nice night. Parvati is a nice lassie and Harry was a right arse to have ignored her the whole night before. Now that guilt was swallowing him alive, he wanted to apologize to Parvati.

Harry heard a light patter of footsteps and loud chatter coming from the stairs leading to the Girls' Dormitories. He stood up, bravely facing Parvati and Lavender. As soon as she saw Harry, Parvati made a sour face. "Oh, hi." she greeted him.

"Er, good morning!" Harry gave her a sheepish smile, scratching the back of his neck. "I, err, can I talk to you for a sec? Alone?"

Parvati gave him a strange look and mouthed sorry to Lavender, who scoffed and went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. "So... What do you want to talk to me about?" she asked snottily, crossing her arms on her chest.

"I'm sorry about last night, alright? I treated you like absolute shite. I was a proper arse and I wanted to make it up to you." Harry explained.

Parvati nodded silently, "You did make a crap date, Harry. You barely spared me a glance all night."

"I know, Parvati. I'm sorry. That's why I wanted to make it up to you; I want to prove to you that I'm not that crappy of a date." Harry pleaded.

"And how are you to prove that you're worthy?" she raised an eyebrow at him.

"Well, how about you go with me this coming Hogsmeade weekend?" Harry bit his lower lip down nervously. "That is, if you're not mad at me anymore."

"I-I'll.." she took a deep breath, "Yeah, that'll be great. This Sunday, yeah?"

"Y-Yeah. Right, than- I mean, yeah, see you!" Harry stuttered out, his face flushing.

Well, that went amazingly.
