"(Y/N)!" Harry yelled as he ran up to her.

"Hey Harry." She smiled at him.

"Hey, I was wondering if you would like to come with me to my lesson." He said.

"What lesson?" She questioned.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Professor Lupin is teaching me how to defend myself from the dementors. Would you like to join?" He was hoping she would join.

"I would love too, but I promised Cho I'd help her with our Muggle studies homework." Harry's smile dropped, "maybe I can join another lesson if Professor Lupin is ok with it?"

"Yeah... ok, I'll ask I him." He gave her a small smile before walking off.

"Harry, you came." Professor Lupin said as Harry entered the classroom.

"Now are you sure about this, Harry? You know this is very advanced magic, well beyond the ordinary wizarding level."

"I'm sure." Harry stated.

"Well everything is prepared. Now the spell I'm going to try to teach you is called the patronus charm , did you ever hear of it?" Lupin asks.

Harry shook his head.

"No? Well, the patronus is a kind of positive force and for the wizard who can conjure one, it's something like a shield, with the dementor feeding on it rather than him. But in order for it to work, you need to think of a memory. Not just any memory, a very happy memory, a very powerful memory. Can you do this?"

Harry nodded his head.

"Yes? Very well, close your eyes. Concentrate. Explore your past." Lupin guided him, "do you have a memory? Allow it to fill you up, loose yourself within it. Then speak the incantation expecto patronum."

"Expecto patronum." Harry repeats.

"Shall we?" The Professor asks.

Harry nods again.

"Wand at the ready."

Lupin nodded to Harry before opening the chest the Boggart was in. Harry could already feel its cold presence, surrounding him. It flew out of the chest, and Harry felt the same horrible feeling he had felt countless times before.

"Expecto patronum!" Harry shouts, nothing happens, "expecto patronum!" He yells again, "expe-"

He heard it again, the same woman screaming. His mum screaming.

"Here we go, come on, sit up." Professor Lupin spoke, pulling Harry into a sitting position.

"Deep breaths it's alright I didn't expect you to do it the first time, that would've been remarkable. Here, eat this you'll feel better."

"That's one nasty dementor." Harry says, eating the chocolate the Professor handed him.

"Ohh no, no, no, no, no. That was a Boggart Harry, a Boggart. The real thing would be worse, much much worse. As a matter of interest, what were you thinking? Which memory did you choose?"

"The first time I rode a broom."

"Well that's not good enough. Not nearly good enough."

"There's another, I think it's the happiest I've ever felt."

"Is it strong?" Lupin asks, Harry nods his head. "Then let's give it a try. If your ready?"

"Just do it." Harry says confidently.

The Dementor flew out of the chest.

"Expecto patronum." He said, thinking of the memory.

Harry thought of when (Y/N) and him snuck out of your houses at the beginning of the holiday before second year. He remembers how they both ran into the trees, not knowing where they were going, but knowing it was worth it once they made it to a huge field of flowers. He remembers (Y/N) chasing him and putting flowers in his hair, he remembers how he had to patch up her wound after she fell and badly grazed her leg. He remembers her making him give her a piggy back ride home. (A/n: you really thought I'd make his memory Lily and James 🙄 Harry's been a simp for (Y/N) since day 1)

"Expecto patronum!" He yelled, then it happened. A bright glow flew out of his wand, pushing the dementor back. "I think I've had enough for today."

"Yes sit down here, eat this it helps, it really helps. And just so you know Harry, I think you would've given your father a run for his money, and that is saying something."

"I was going to think of him and mum, seeing their faces and everything. But a different memory suddenly filled my mind."

"If you don't mind me asking, what was that memory that filled your mind?" Professor Lupin asked.

"When (Y/N) first snuck into my house and made me go on a trip with her, we ran until we found this beautiful place. It felt as if no one else existed, it didn't feel real, hell I don't even know if it is real. But it felt real, it felt very real." Harry said.

Professor Lupin tried his best to hide his smirk, "you and (Y/N) are really good friends."

"She's my best friend, along with Hermione and Ron." He stated, even though he knew the way he felt towards (Y/N) was very different to the way he felt about Ron and Hermione, he just didn't know why.

Harry, Ron and Hermione were sat in the common room when they saw (Y/N) and Dean enter chatting along. Harry groaned in annoyance, a strange jealous feeling filling his body.

(Y/N) made her way over to her friends waving goodbye to Dean.

"Hey!" She beamed, Ron and Hermione greeted her, looking up from their homework, while Harry stood up and walked to his dormitory.

"You should follow him, ask him why he's grumpy." Ron sighs.

She does as he says and follows Harry to his dorm.

"What's wrong?" She asks, as she closes the door behind her.

"Nothing." He grumbles.

"Well that's clearly a lie, please tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing is wrong, I'm just tired." He fake yawns.

"That's a lie too, if your not going to tell me then we can just sit here and relax."

"You know Dean has a crush on you." Harry stated.

She burst out laughing at his words.

"What?" He asks confused.

"Clearly you don't know Dean as well as I do. Dean does not have a crush on me."

"Yes he does, it's obvious."

"Dean is one of my best friends and besides he is head over heels for someone else." She chuckles.

"Who?"

"I can't tell you that because I don't know if you can keep a secret." She says, pressing his nose with her index finger.

Harry scrunches his face in annoyance, "I can keep a secret!"

"I know you can, just trying to annoy you." (Y/N) grins.

"Then tell me who Dean is in love with!" Harry says aggravated.

"It's very obvious, I want you to figure it out yourself, use that tiny brain of yours." She flicks his forehead, causing him to whack her hand.

"My brain isn't small." Harry frowns.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night."
