Growing up with Chen Linong is probably the best thing you could have asked for. Just imagine being able to have a best friend at an early age and sharing the same secret you two had to keep in school. Being a witch and wizard was not something you two would have wanted but it was also not something you disgraced.

“I can’t believe my two babies are finally going to Hogwarts!” You can recall Linong’s mother pulling you both into an embraced with your Hogwarts acceptance letter in hand. Linong gave you a gentle smile which was normal for whenever he would apologize for his mother’s antics. Linong was quite mature for his age and you had always looked up to him for that.

Not long after did you two start shopping in Diagon Alley. You were, of course, supervised by your parents. They were more thrilled for when you two got your letters. Your parents would settle in buying the books and cauldrons while you and Linong had set forth to Olivander’s.  The moment you two received your wands was quite magical as well. Olivanders himself has said that your wands possessed unicorn coming from the same mare. It was almost as though it had been fated for you two.

At the end of the trip, your parents had gave you both an owl thinking it would be a smart decision for when you need to send them mail. What do you expect from two Ravenclaw couples, right? They would think ahead. You were thankful for them because it were not for them then how would the two of you survive.

Moving on to the rest of your life in Hogwarts, you and Linong had both been sorted into Hufflepuff. Since Linong was the first to get sorted, you had whispered continuously to the hat to sort you in with Linong. Oh how thrilled was he when he had you sit next to him. Your closeness has stirred a few teasing from the upper years since you two seem really bonded to one another.

“If I weren’t aware, I would probably think you two were dating then.” Zhengting, then third year, now sixth year commented as he recalled the two of you.

It had been three years since you two had stayed in Hogwarts and everything had been going well. You two were still close as ever and your friendship could not get any stronger.  

“We aren’t.” You two would simultaneously reply.

“Mhm. We’ll see.” Zhengting gave you two a suspicious grin before attending to his Gryffindor girlfriend.

It had been a custom almost that you two would always get teased. Not that either of you minded because deep inside of you, you knew that it was just too impossible to be so. Both you and Linong had had a few connections to some of the students. Connections, which Linong chose to ignore because he just did not find interest in dating, or so you thought.

Then there was you, who had a few crushes. You may have even jumped from one Ravenclaw to one Gryffindor. Nothing serious, since like Linong, you did not act on anything that connected to romantic relations.

It was until you grew a little interest in a Slytherin. Lin Yanjun. His name rolled out your tongue quite often which would just rended Linong nodding to you. Linong was not quite fond with Yanjun ever since their first encounter.  Yanjun had almost hexed Linong and he would never let the leave his mind. He was a bit annoyed with how inconsiderate you were being since you knew about the story.

“Bu he’s so dreamy~” You chimed as your leaned your cheek against Linong’s shoulder.

“More like a nightmare.” Linong rolled his eyes as he went back to reading on care for magical creatures.

“Come on, nongnong…that was one time.” You pouted as you nuzzled your cheek against his shoulder.

“One time is enough for me to dislike him, You should be careful as well, y/n. Not all Slytherins are worth being fantasized about.”

“Except for the cold prince, Lin Yanjun.” You grinned and he sighed.

He had closed his book and stood up, leaving you confused because he would always leave with you. The rest of those who were sitting across from the two of you also seem confused. “I’m leaving first.” He said as he exited the great hall.

“What’s wrong with him?” One of your fellow Hufflepuffs asked.

“Beats me.”

 Meanwhile, on his way to the library, Linong had recalled his recent encounter with the so-called prince of Slytherin.

“I heard your girl is crushing on me. Should I go for it and steal her away from you?” Lin Yanjun smirked while the rest of his friend cluster snickered at Linong.

“You are not going to do anything to her and she is not my girl. Linong tried to pass them but what Yanjun said next had him stopped in his tracks.

“But you wish to be. I can get her easily while she refuses to be with the person she grew up with. Pity.” Yanjun spat before he left with his friends.

He was right, how could he even protect you away from the person you liked despite knowing how he was nothing but bad news. He was also right about wanting to be wanted by you but he had pushed that thought aside.

“I just need to keep her away. That’s all I need to do.” He mumbled to himself.

The next few days, you had noticed that Linong had been a mix of hot and cold with you. One moment he would be ignoring you and the other he would be talking to you about any topic under the skies. There were also times where you thought, Yanjun wanted to approach you but would switch ways when he saw Linong sitting next to you.

“Did something happen again with Yanjun?” You asked him as he wrote down on his parchment.

“No, nothing important.” He sighed softly as he pushed his platter of grapes towards you, knowing it was your favorite.

“But there had been something..don’t you wanna tell me what it is?”  You frowned as you picked up a piece to feed him.

As he chewed on it, he had pondered if he should try the idea he had to keep Yanjun away but he was just not as courageous as a Gryffindor to do so. It was until he saw them laughing again which caused him to take you away from the great hall by hand.

Your cheeks had flushed red when he did so. The truth is, Yanjun was just a means for you to hide your real feelings for Linong. You had actually realized that you may have had tiny crush on him during your second year at Hogwarts. You thought that it would repel the teasings that were done towards the two of you if he was aware that you ‘liked’ someone else.

How did Yanjun come about? Of all the guys? What Linong did not know is that when he tried to hex him, you had punched Yanjun square to his chest. Since he likes feisty girls, this instantly gave room for you to be friends when Linong was not around. You had also managed to convince him to apologize by helping in your secret of liking him. Thankfully, he was not smart enough to connect how this would get him to be forgiven.

“Look, Yanjun is bad news, y/n.” He started as he slowly let go of your hand. “He plans to hurt you through me and I can’t let that happen.” He explained.

“W-what..?” You actually did not plan for it to come out this way but regardless, you chose to listen to him.“The only way I can protect you is ni dating you.” He sighed and rubbed his nape awkwardly. “Like..just to get him off. Like..not really dating but pretend dating.”

To be honest, every word he added just stung you a little. He had finally asked you on a date but it was all just pretend until he assures that you would not get hurt. You agreed to this proposition, knowing that there was a possibility for you to get even more hurt.

So, it then began. You and Linong would always come into the great halls with your hands held and fingers intertwined. His palm was warm and soft and it gave you a sense of familiarity which you would not dare tell him You did not have too because he felt the same. Your cheeks were both in the shade of pink as you two sat at the Hufflepuff table.

“FINALLY?” Zhengting clasped his hands together as he smiled at both of you like a loving parent.

“ARE YOU TWO TOGETHER NOW?” A Gryffindor named Justin asked as he came from behind Zhengting.

Being too shy to respond, Linong did it for you by nodding at him with a soft smile plastered on his lips.

“Darn it.” Justin frowned as he placed two gold coins in front of Zhengting. “I can’t believe I lost the bet.”

“You were betting on us..?” You frowned at Zhengting who only responded with a hum.

“Who wasn’t to be honest?” He grinned as he snuck the coins into his robe’s pockets. “Everyone was expecting it to happen anyway.”

This made you two slightly flustered. You felt Linong giving your hand a gentle squeeze to somehow comfort you. He knew how easily you get embarrassed when you were the topic and that was his way of assuring you that you will be alright.

“You two should just see how you used to look at one another. You always looked like one was unreachable but look at you two now.” Zhengting smiled softly and quickly pinched both of your cheeks.

It was harder this way, with Zhengting, since you two had to keep the act up now in the common room. You two would sit next to one another, huddled in a blanket as you both studied for whatever subject you had the following day. There had been times where you would pass out from exhaustion and just sleep against Linong’s chest.

“Need any help?” Kaihao, Linong’s close Hufflepuff friend asked as he watched the two of you.

Linong was just mesmerized by your sleeping face. Even if he had seen it for countless of times, he was never not enticed by it. He gave Kaihao a soft smile before shaking his head. “You go ahead.”

Linong would gently stroke your hair to help you sleep better. Oh, how he had longed to have you in his arms this way. He wanted to keep this memory forever because he knew somehow that this memory would eventually have to end.

“Y/n, why can’t you just love me instead?” He would ask your sleeping figure, but he never received a response.

What you two didn’t know was that Zhengting was aware of your situation. He had been friends first with Yanjun before you all did. Yanjun had explained all he knew and he just needed Yanjun one last time to help get the two of you together.

So it was weird when you found Yanjun waiting for you just outside the common rooms the next day. Linong had pulled you behind him as he looked down at Yanjun who was a few centimeters shorter than he was. “What do you want?”

“Simple. I heard that this relationship thing was all fake to keep me from asking y/n out.” Yanjun crossed his arms.

“N-nonsense..” You replied and mouthed a ‘What are you doing?’ at Yanjun when Linong had started to glare at him.

“We are dating and it’s none of your business.” Linong said sternly, a side of him that you had never seen before.

“Prove it then. Kiss her.” Yanjun cocked an eyebrow, challenging this so-called act.

Linong took in a deep breathe as he glanced at you. He did not want you to feel uncomfortable around him but in his mind, If he did not do it, then that would give more room for you to get hurt by Yanjun. He mouthed an apology at you first before he took your cheeks into his hand and pressed a soft kiss to your cherry tinted lips.

Your eyes widened at the act. You were sure that he was not going to do it but as soon as he did, you could have sworn to have heard your heart going wild inside your chest. Your cheeks had sure gotten warm and you had hoped Linong would not notice. Your mind was slowly malfunctioning and if it had been any longer, your knees would have probably gave in.

When he pulled away, you two noticed that Zhengting had ruffled the Slytherin’s hair while staring at the two of you. “I hope with that, you two would stop this act and actually get together.” Zhengting smiled before leaving with Yanjun.

You two were having a difficult time processing what had just happened. You two kissed, Yanjun and Zhengting seem to have deviced this trick and now you two were being told to come clear with your feelings. Unfortunately, you two were just both too afraid to face the situation which caused you two to break away from one another.

It had been gloomy in whichever room you two were in. You avoided talking to one another nor even sparing a glance. Zhengting was almost wondering if he had messed something up but he knew that time had a big factor to play in this.

“Talk to her. You have to.” Kaihao told Linong as he had sat in the old place which you used to sit in.

“What if she does not want to?” Linong asked as he stared into the crackling flame from the fireplace.

“You still have to. Let go and be brave, Linong. That’s a characteristic not only limited to Gryffindor.”

Linong knew he was right but he was scared that if he had finally confessed, you would probably leave him for good. Was he ready to rely on the memories you had to keep him sane through it? He was just not so sure.

It was on Christmas day, when you and Linong had to suffer an incredibly awkward train ride back home. You two always celebrated Christmas together and you knew that you two somehow had to act that everything had been alright between the two of you. You had helped prepare in cooking while Linong and your fathers helped in decorating the houses to keep it in spirit.

It was festive as always and you tried your hardest not to seem awkward. Unfortunately, your parents made reservations for a seminar after the feast. You and Linong both did not want to go since you dreaded what most Ravenclaws enjoyed. You two opted to just stay at your respective houses but as usual, Linong’s parents asked him to take care of you while they were out.

You two were both on the couch, trying not to make each other’s presence known. It was difficult because you did miss talking to him but you have become too anxious to even to face the elephant in the room. Linong had shared the same sentiments. He missed hearing your voice as you enthusiastically told him stories about your day.

It just so happened that you two glanced at one another at the same time and averted your eyes as fast as you could. Your cheeks both turned pink from that one look.

“Let’s watch a movie instead?” He coughed as he tried to lighten the atmosphere.

“Sure.”

Now, maybe you two were cursed but all the channels on the muggle television only showed romantic Christmas stories which made you two awkwardly shuffle in your seats. Linong chose to just close the television and sighed. You turned your head to the window and your eyes instantly lit up as you saw snow falling outside.

“It’s snowing…” You said dreamily before looking at Linong.

“Wanna play outside?” He smiled softly. He knew how much you adored the snow.

After gearing up in your thickest sweaters and scarves, the two of you started roaming around the backyard. The snow was a bit heavy hence it rapidly filled the garden. You plopped yourself down on the snow and laughed. “I love winter.”

“You just love snow…be careful not to get sick, y/n.” Linong said as he tried to catch a snowflake on his red mittens.

“Oh come on, Nongnong! You love the snow too~” You called out as you flailed your arms against the white matter to create snow angels.

There was great satisfaction in him when he heard you call him by the nickname you had bestowed on him. He then plopped himself next to you and smiled. “I do..it’s fun even if it’s cold.”

You turned to face him and he did the same. For some moment, you both had stared into one another’s eyes which made you move away instantly and just stared at the dark clouds.

“Y/n…?”

“Hmm?”

“What do you think of me? Am I..better than Yanjun?” Linong asked, not looking at you. It almost seemed as though he had been asking the dark skies.

“You’re the best.” You answered quietly.

“Will you be alright with dating me for real then..?”

You were quiet. Was he really asking you out this time? None of the pretense? You remained silent as you hoped he would continue to explain.

“Did you really like Yanjun or did you have him trick me into something..?” He then began and guilt suddenly dawned on you. He was right. For a Hufflepuff, you kind of played Linong.

He watched as your face became sullen. He sat up and looked back at you. “I’m not mad.”  You sat up as well, knees pulled close to your chest.

“Why not..? I felt like I did something that’s worth a thousand hexes..” You frowned at him.

“You didn’t have to do anything because I’ve liked you ever since we were kids.” He inched closer to you. “You could have just told me you felt the same way so I wouldn’t have to get mad at Yanjun and possibly slip in a puking pastel into his goblet before we left for home.” Linong coughed.

Maybe you two did share a common trait of being a little evil. He started laughing made you laugh along with him. It had been so long until you two had shared fits o laughter. When you two had regained yourselves, he stared at you and gently tapped on your nose.

“It’s getting red, we should go inside.” He hummed as he pulled you up along with him, but your clumsy self slipped and took Linong down with you.

And there went your second kiss, but this time…Linong did not pull away and neither did you. It was worse enough to keep your friendship at bay but to suppress your feelings for one another was worst. It lasted for a few more seconds before he pulled away and smiled at you. “We need to explain a lot to our parents.”

“Maybe later~” You smiled as you pulled him for your third kiss.

It was all amazing until you both caught fevers the next day.
