𝐓𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫

I avoided eye contact with the two boys until I made my decision, I never confirmed either of their plans so they shouldn't mind me not showing. My leg shakes I try to step on my foot with my other leg trying to stop my shakily movement but to no use I just get strange looks from my distraction.

I sighed and went back to copying the notes Snape had being discussing, as the bell rang I sighed in relief— I was still puzzled on who to go with. I remembered how it was with Draco, rather sweet yet tormenting and well now being within the same distance around Harry was just torment.

—But if Harry & I study, it will be short and simple seeing as we won't have the opportunity to joke and get off topic causally as we use to do. Since first year we'd "study" every Wednesday, it was librarian Madam Irma's worst nightmare we wouldn't shut up and laugh and earn dirty looks from every inch of the room especially Hermione—so much we'd get kicked out and even personally escorted out from the library to Hermione's dismay.

Honestly I don't know how we got anything done together, and I have no clue how we hadn't failed every single year—since first year. Nonetheless this year was different and now i couldn't fail not a chance, I had absolutely no distractions. We exited the classroom and I spotted Draco and mouthed "hi" he moved toward me and I cleared my throat.

"Draco I have to go to the library with Harry so I can't go to the astronomy tower" I said looking up at him, his eyes switched from intrigued to fury "no".

"What do you mean no?" I question looking at him as he avoided eye contact,

"I said no" he said unbothered again.

"You can't tell me no" I replied back in the same unbothered tone.

"Oh yeah we'll see, Riddle we will see" Draco said while walking away.

"Don't call me that" I spoke irritated he slowed his pace and began walking back to me and raised an eyebrow

"Or what"

'Riddle'

"Your such a pain in the asre" I said walking away in frustration,

"Your think that's a pain, wait and see princess wait and see" he said condescendingly.

"Don't ever call me that" I said walking away towards the library to met Harry.

I remembered the first time Harry introduced me to Hagrid— he looked down at the two of us and said something that I remember everyday,
"Er y/n looks like uh er princess, oi Harry looks like uh a peasant" I tried to hide my laughter as Harry just stood their in shock with his mouth open. It's not as funny as when he brings up us going out or something—"Harry how do I look",, "just like a princess" "can't say the same about me—like a peasant" he chuckled "Hagrid certainly has a way with words"
: not sure Draco calling me princess just didn't feel right like it was almost triggering remembering good times with Harry. Or maybe I just didn't like being called Princess—or maybe I didn't like being called a princess unless it's Harry.

I shook my head before walking into the library to met my eyes with him,
He sighed as I caught my self frowning a bit but covered it with an eye roll back. I'm not sure whether he saw my slight disappointment at his behavior towards me but I just wanted this to be over.

All over.
