Astoria Greengrass.

Her eyes seem to flash gold and she grins broadly.

"Hi!" She says enthusiastically. "I'm Astoria Greengrass, a fifth year. Can we talk privately?" She asks sweetly, playing with a curl of her hair.

You don't turn your head away from her, not wanting to see the reaction of anyone right now, you just nod in agreement.

"Let's go then" She says, pulling you out of the great hall and to the path of getting out of the castle. As you are walking with her, you both reach a deserted corridor and she finally turns to you to ask her question.

"How would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?"

"Uhmm...I don't know" you say, flustered "We don't know each other that well..."

"Well...we need a reason why we can't go together" she says, leaning closer to you. Her perfume intoxicates you, and you struggle to focus.

"Oh um... I don't know" you finally manage to say.

Astoria leans close again, her hand coming onto yours.

"Come on Harry. We'll get along great" she purrs.

You look up at her and take in her perfect lips, full breasts spilling out of her robes, and the long blonde hair. It takes you by surprise how beautiful she is. You can't help the blush that creeps onto your cheeks.

Astoria looks like she is about to kiss you as she sees your shy reaction.

But she stops herself.

"If you're not interested Harry. You don't have to come with me if you aren't comfortable" she says sadly.

"I'm sorry" you apologise. "I didn't mean to offend you. I just have trouble finding friends."

Her smile returns as she leans forward slightly. You can smell her perfume, it is intoxicating. Your heart beats faster.

"Don't apologise. Maybe we could hang out after classes? Then maybe you won't have to avoid my advances" she suggests coyly.

You nod slowly. Her hands creep towards your shoulders as she looks down at your lips. You lean forward and kiss her.

You taste sweet, and her lips are soft. When you part, you breathe heavily for a moment before you realise that her arms are wrapped tightly around your waist and that she is kissing you back.

When you pull away, both of you are panting.

"Wow" she whispers.

"Thank you for talking to me" you say, blushing slightly "I feel better now."

Astoria laughs and shakes her head. She leans forwards and kisses you again, this time much more forcefully. She finds yours lips yielding, which causes her own to grow hungry, pressing her tongue against yours. Your hands move to her waist to support her. She pushes you back until you are leaning up against a wall. She pulls away for a moment to look you in the eyes.

"You're very interesting, Harry" she breathes. "Can I call you Harry?"

"Um..okay" you agree. She gives a sly smile and presses her lips against yours once more. You wrap your arms around her neck and kiss her passionately.

"Do you want me to escort you back to the castle?" she asks softly, running her fingers through your hair.

"Sure" you say.

She smiles brightly as she leads you back to Gryffindor Tower, holding your hand. She walks you all the way to your common room, where she turns around to face you. She puts her fingers under your chin and tilts your head upwards. You are surprised to see her lips press lightly against your forehead, and then, she pulls away, smiling sweetly at you.

She blinks in surprise when you lean in and place a kiss on her cheek.

As she turns around to walk away, you watch her disappear between the two gargoyles that separate the entrance of Gryffindor Tower.

That night, you dreamt about her. About her blonde hair, her sparkling blue eyes, her smooth curves. You were in her arms, and you couldn't move away. You felt complete. You woke up feeling happy for the first time in awhile.
