act i : scene xiii

now, it's near-end may. draco and i are having quiet a bond, he becomes more understanding and not-so toxic anymore, even though he still is. he is always over-protective, and he tried to spend more time with me; by doing homework together, he agreed to do masks together, he painted my nails, and much more. i love this side of draco, the soft side of him. we're happy. he looked so innocent —no cunning side, not after his father expectations. he seems to forget about it all for a while with me. but if i will defy my mum in the end, we should break up; because it's going to be tricky for him too and i don't want to put him any more pressure. i need to find the right time.

harry, hermione, ron and i liked to hang out together sometimes, we like to go to the library for helping harry with the last task. talking about the last task, harry knew that it's going to be in a maze, a maze full of obstacles and challenges. but we don't know what it's going to be inside it. so... hermione and i looking for perfect curses and jinxes that might be needed for the task.

we start on the stunning spell, with ron as someone who voluntarily sacrifices himself for harry to try the spell.

"can't we just kidnap mrs.norris?" ron suggested after being stunned and reawoken by harry fifth times in a row. "let's stun her for a bit. or you could use dobby, harry, i bet he'd do anything to help you" we're now in the charms classroom, with hermione pacing around and me just simply chilling.

"dobby? the malfoys house-elf?" i ask.

"mhm he was, now he's working here. you know him?" harry says.

"of course, i do. i practically live under the same roof as the malfoys" that's right, when i was a kid, my mum always go to malfoy manor when bellatrix's there and they usually torturing innocent lives together. draco and i hear the scream of agony from the cruciatus curse at the chamber and we're always trying to reduce the voice in many ways. dobby always there to clear up the toys we've played, he brought us cookies and milk, and when i fall from playing with draco in the maze, he always clean it. not like my mum.

"that must be suck..." his eyes widen in realisation, "oh, sorry, i forgot that he's your boyfriend"

"it's fine... and i agree to kidnap mrs.norris, that bloody cat is fucking annoying" i agree with ron previous statement, who now nods in satisfaction.

"first, y/n, language. second, we can't kidnap her, we'll be in serious trouble for that. and i don't want to get detention because of mrs.norris" hermione scolds us.

"i'm not complaining or anything —but my aching all over," ron says, diverting the topic about mrs.norris and to dodging hermione's rebuke too.

"well, you keep missing the cushions, don't you!" said hermione impatiently, rearranging the pile of cushions they had used for the banishing spell, which flitwick had left in a cabinet. "just try and fall backward!"

ron sighs in exasperation just as the school bell ringing, indicating for lunchtime.

"well... see you at lunch!" hermione says before she walks away outside cheerfully.

"see you tomorrow?" i ask ron and harry, who sits on a stool with heads on the desk, per usual. they mumble a "yeah" "see you" tiredly.

i walk towards the door and go to the great hall for lunch. i wave hermione a 'hi' when i see her at the gryffindor's table on my way to the slytherin table. i sat in between blaise and draco, theo besides blaise, daphne and pansy across from us.

"you're really friends with them aren't you?" draco asks in a low voice, emphasizing the really. "your mum will kill you if she knew, and i don't like it that you're spending time more with them rather than us" i spend time with draco and all my other friends but not as much as i spend it with the golden trio.
