Hi!! Firstly, thank you so, so much for taking the time to read and support doorways, it means the world to me.
No one's ever actually asked me this before haha. The short answer is: Harry always considered Rhea his best friend, nothing more. There MIGHT have been a time where he must’ve felt something more than platonic love towards her, but in the end it was always going to be Ginny.
I say ‘might’ because there is every chance he must’ve given it a thought, but quickly dismissed it in fear of jeopardizing their friendship. But really, it’s up to how you want to interpret it. Personally, with how you mentioned the last flashback scene (“we always seem to run out of time”) could’ve hinted that Harry did kinda reciprocate her feelings; it would’ve made it more tragic, because right from the start, their time together slipped like sand in an hourglass. So it really depends on what you think!
(I'll admit initially I wanted to let Rhea and Harry hover cautiously around this concept, before realising that it wouldn't work out between them, but I decided against this xD)
Again, thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and compose a message like this, it made my entire day. Stay safe and take care! ( @Lizzie_Raylight )
