"Friends..." Harry said softly, half to himself. He'd never stop being her friend but still couldn't help wanting more.
"I still... see you as more than a friend. The feelings from last time are all still there, maybe even more so than before." He cleared his throat softly and went on, "Er... I'd understand if you feel like it's... not a good idea. To be more than friends."
Harry did not want to look too hopeful as he forced himself to meet her eyes during his highly incoherent speech. But he couldn't help it.
