Double Trouble || Draco Malfoy x Reader

afternoon date || chapter sixty

After Filch found the state his office was in, he was more determined than ever to find Dumbledore's Army. But one day, as Luna entered the Room of Requirement, Filch was there to see it.

Draco, Crabbe and Goyle's face peered from over Filch's shoulder. The door was still open, so they began to speed-walk down the corridor, but as it started to shrink, they began to jog— then run— then full on sprint.

Just as the door was about to close, they burst through. However, it turned into nothing more than a broom closet. I heard a handful of groans as they all collapsed on top of one another, a bucket and a mop following.

Draco groaned and pushed the others out of his way as he got up to his feet. "Screw this," he said, brushing the dust off himself. "I have to see Y/N. I promised to help her study for the upcoming Potions practical."

Filch appeared interested.

"However, I don't see how that's any of your business, you cretin." Draco scowled. The other three disappeared while Draco started to walk in my direction. "Nice tumble," I said, finally stepping out from behind the pillar.

"You saw that?" Draco cringed a little.

"Maybe," I laughed, wrapping my arms around his waist. Draco closed his eyes and enveloped me into a warm hug. "Let's get in there, shall we?" He whispered softly. I dipped my head and pulled away.

We stepped in front of the wall and waited for the door to emerge. When it did, we entered the Room of Requirement to find everyone taking turns around a target, or doing their own thing.

"Reducto!"

A flash of light exploded from the tip of Ginny's wand and turned the statue into a million, tiny splints of wood. Fred, George and Ron all looked between one another, shocked.

I came up behind Ginny and pulled her into a proud hug.

"Expelliarmus!" Cho's soft tone came from another corner. I caught her glancing at Harry for his approval.

"Expelliarmus!"

For the first time, Neville casted a successful charm. Parvati's wand was whipped straight from her hand, and she looked up, shocked. Everyone crowded around him, cheering.

Even Draco managed to crack a grin.

The latest version of the Daily Prophet had been released. My hands were shaking, and before I could read any further, I crumpled up the paper in my hand and smacked it down onto the coffee table.

"Whats doing your head in now, hm?"

I glanced up from where I was silently seething.

Draco slumped into the sofa beside me and swung his arm around my shoulder.

"Just this bloody school." I mumbled irritably. "It doesn't look like we're getting rid of Umbridge any time soon."

The fire crackled quietly as Draco contemplated my words.

"What I think you need," he started. "Is a break. Just me and you, for the day."
