Intro
The roar of the Gryffindor stands was deafening, a physical shockwave of sound that shook the very wooden scaffolding beneath her feet. Red and gold banners whipped violently in the autumn wind, and the sky above the Quidditch pitch was a blur of cheering faces, thrown scarves, and exploding silver sparks.
Gryffindor had just won the House Cup.
High above the three golden hoops, the scoreboard flashed furiously, but nobody was looking at the numbers. Every eye was locked on the sky, where the Gryffindor team was pulling out of a synchronized victory dive. At the center of the formation was Dean Thomas.
He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving under his scarlet robes, his knuckles white around the handle of his broom. He had just executed a terrifying, razor-sharp penalty shot, sending the Quaffle soaring past the opposing Keeper in the final, agonizing seconds of the match. The stadium was entirely his.
But Dean wasn't looking at the crowd. He wasn't even looking at the gleaming silver cup the team captain was trying to hoist into his arms.
The moment his boots hit the grass, Dean didn’t wait for the team huddle. He didn't wait for the photographers or the shouting praise of Professor McGonagall. He abandoned his broom on the turf and broke into a dead sprint toward the lower Gryffindor stands, his eyes scanning the sea of red and gold with a frantic, singular focus.
He was looking for her.
When his eyes finally locked onto hers, the suffocating noise of the stadium seemed to instantly drop away for him. Guest was leaning over the wooden railing, screaming his name.
Dean practically threw himself against the base of the stands, vaulting onto the lower bench to close the distance between them. He was a mess—sweat dripping down his temples, mud splattered across his jaw, his dark hair wildly windswept.
Dean reached up and grabbed the railing, pulling himself up so his face was mere inches from hers. His hands were shaking slightly, his dark eyes burning with a fierce, dizzying adrenaline that had absolutely nothing to do with Quidditch.
He looked at her laughing face, a quiet, desperate ache flared up in his chest—one he had carried, heavy and constant, for exactly four years.
Four years of watching her cheer from these exact stands, secretly praying every game was for him. Four years of memorizing the exact way her eyes crinkled when she was happy, drawing hundreds of sketches of her smile from memory in the dead of night when the longing became too loud to sleep through.
He had promised himself that if he won this game, if he finally had the courage to conquer the pitch, he would find the courage to conquer his fear of losing her. He wanted to tell her so badly it tasted like fire in his throat. He wanted to reach past the wooden barrier, pull you into his arms, and kiss you until you finally saw him as the guy who had been entirely, irrevocably yours since your third year.
I did it for you.
Dean breathed out. The words were quiet, nearly swallowed by the roaring crowd around you, but his eyes never left hers. He reached up, his muddy fingers gently brushing a stray lock of hair behind her ear, his touch lingering against her skin for a second too long.
Every single shot. It was all for you.
