Title: Who needs air

Summary: this one is just a Harry Potter AU fluff one-shot where Castiel is standing in front of the class stuttering for words to finish his jinx.
Cas is a complete odd ball in his oversized uniform and a yellow scarf wrapped around his scrawny neck. His wand is shaking between trembling fingers and his defence against dark arts teacher is terrifying. Half of the class is expecting him to recite a jinx to trap Chuck Shurley -who Mr Zachariah seems to enjoy bullying- into a mirror.
Cas is trying to let out the words, but his mouth suddenly feels dry and his tongue is knotted. He is seconds from breaking into tears and he can feel everyone’s eyes boring at him.
Mr. Zachariah is cruel for making him the first one to try the jinx on his very first class in his very first year. Castiel has a lot to learn, yet.
He excels at making potions and reading spells on his own, but this is far too intimidating.
A second-year whom Castiel has furtively thought high of -Dean Winchester- made an aggravated noise and stepped up.
He flashed Cas a grin and steadied the trembling fingers around the feel of pristine wood of the hufflepuff’s wand. Cas held on, for as close to Dean’s companionship as possible. At that moment he didn’t know what did he like most about what was going on: Dean being close to him or Dean’s touch around his wrist.
Dean was flawless with his own Gryffindor red and yellow scarf slumbed over his rugged shoulders and green eyes glinting with warmth and yearning.
And Cas feels something very warm in his chest, like the feeling when he’s drinking warm chocolate on a cold day.
Dean can do that to him, he can fix Cas up and so he intends to do for the next six years
