I was walking to my dormitory. It had gotten pretty dark and I was exhausted from all that running. I tapped at the door and saw Albert singing, "Oh, hello Miss Katie,"
"Hi, Albert," I weakly smiled at him.
"The password?" He asked, "Oculious!" I answered as he swung he door open.I entered and saw Luna sitting on the table by the kitchen while fiddling with something in her hand.
"Hey Luna!" "Hey, Katie, what happened with Professor McGonagall? Did everything go alright?" She asked as she looked over me, dropping the thing she was fiddling with on the table as I sat right beside her on the chair.
"Nothing much, she was just worried about me settling in with a Slytherin." I answered her, tapping my fingers on the table, feeling bored.
"I mean, I don't he the point of this law, it's useless. How many children do you exactly think we can make? 30? 40? How is that exactly going to make a difference?" I started heating up while complaining.
"Why did they have to burden us with this rule? I should've never come! This isn't my fault! Had I known about this rule, I wouldn't have came, in fact I would've abandoned the wizarding worl-" I was interrupted by Luna yelling; "Calm down Katie, it's all gonna be okay, I know that somewhere in Malfoy's heart, there is a little bit humanity." She assured me with a smile.
"I- I just don't know what to do anymore Luna, our life's a mess now!" I exclaimed as I saw her looking at the table with no emotion.
Oh fuck, have I said too much?? Did I make her uncomfortable? Goodness Katie, can't you for once keep your thoughts to yourself?
"Luna, how is it going with you and Zabini?" I questioned her as I saw her coming back to the reality, "Oh, it's actually been great. He respects me, in fact, he turned the vanity mirror into a bed for himself." She smiled at me.
"Wait, I forgot about transfiguration! Here I am sleeping on the sofa when I could've slept on a bed in my own room!" I squealed and went running towards me door.
I was gonna knock when I decided that I honestly didn't need to knock, it was my room after all. I banged the door open and saw Malfoy sitting on the bed, with a letter in his hands. I might've startled him because he hid the letter pretty quick and glared at me, "Did your parents ever teach you how to knock?" I paused at that question, why would he say something like that...
I stared at him for a moment then shook the thought off, "Malfoy, from what I recall, this room belongs to me too!" I told him and he looked at me, clearly irritated.
"What do you want Bennete?", "I wanted to talk. Luna and Zabini have been working on their relationship for quite a while."
"And?" He asked in a sort of statement
I huffed annoyingly, "Well, maybe we should try building up our relationship too?"
"No thanks, I'd rather have married Pansy than sort out your problems" He rolled his eyes.
"Okay that's it Malfoy, you don't understand what I'm trying to say! We have to work on our relationship because we have no choice! I'll be giving birth to your children the next year, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT WITH US NOT EVEN LOOKING AT EACHOTHER! THAT'S NOT HOW A GIRL GETS PREGNA-" I stopped right there, I gasped for air trying to calm down as he processed every word from my mouth.
"Fine." He huffed. I sighed in relief, "But I have one condition" He smirked as he looked at me. Oh god, what now?... "It's not my problem, you either sleep at the floor or the bed, but I'm not going to move from the bed." He grinned.
"Sure, I'll sleep on the floor, is that all you want, ferret?" He glared at me and slowly stood up coming towards me. shit. I hurried up from the bed and hopped towards the washroom door, I opened it and looked at him last time, he started sprinting towards me, I yelped as I closed the door shut and sighed. He was banging on the door, "You won't get away with this Bennete!" He banged one last time before leaving.
I had gotten ready for the bed, with my nightshirt and a cute black shorts with white strips on the corners, I flossed my teeth and applied some oils to my skin to smoothen it up, I'm very self insecure so I always try my best to take care of my body. I wore my soft slippers and headed outside to where Malfoy was, he was on the bed staring at me, probably still mad at the ferret thing.
"You need to learn how to control your emotions, Malfoy." I huffed and turned the rug into a sleeping bag. "And you need to learn how to control your mouth, Bennete," He looked at me while I scrunched my eyebrows together.
"You got mad over being called a ferret? I could call you worse but can you handle it?" I smirked and made myself comfortable in the sleeping bag. I turned to my left so I would be facing our main door that leads to the lounge.
I heard him shuffle on the bed and he blew out all the candles, "Goodnight Malfoy." I said in a very light and slow tune as I was very tired and quickly fell asleep.

Draco Malfoy's POV
I looked over to where Bennete was sleeping, her hands and legs out of the sleeping bag as her hair covered her face. I couldn't really sleep properly with her soft snores because it reminded me that she was still in the room. I shuffled a lot trying to find a good position but I just couldn't sleep.
I angrily knocked my feet off the bed and stared at her lifeless body. You brat, making me do impractical things I muttered under my breath as I got up and walked towards her, I stopped for a brief moment admiring her guts.
She's the first one who has disobeyed me in these years, other than Granger because she was annoying, this one isn't as annoying.
I went towards her lifeless body and removed her hair from her face and tucked them by her ears. I unzipped the rest of the sleeping bag and carefully picked her up, "Her body is so fragile.." I thought to myself as her head was alongside my shoulder and she was still softly snoring. I took her over the bed and slowly put her on the other side.
"Maybe I shouldn't have been so mean" I thought while I tucked her under the blanket. For a brief moment I thought she woke up because she moved a little, I was struggling to catch my breath because I've never done something like this, I didn't know how she'd react. Or maybe I was just overreacting.
I headed towards my side of the bed, stared at her as the blanket had swallowed her up to her pink cheeks, I could only see her closed eyes as her hair covered half of her face, and her legs weren't even reaching the end of the bed frame.
"She's kind of adorabl-" I smacked myself, "What was I thinking? She? and adorable? no way Draco, she's brainwashing you somehow, she could be a beast disguised in a girl's body for all I know!" I thought and quickly trying to adjust on the bed, I had quickly fallen asleep this time.
