Slytherins with benefits

Welcome back party

Y/N POV

After saying goodbye to Draco and heading off to the party, I slide his sweater on, it was cold in the halls at night. I thought about parties I had been to before. I always drank, never smoked anything or did any drugs, I would mostly talk with anyone I felt comfortable with. I never danced unless tequila was involved. I had never really been to a party without the twins, well I had been to them, but never partied with the main group. Slytherin parties were a bit too much for me, I know Draco loved them, and I had sat in on a couple, read books while they all play games and smoked. I was excited for this, I felt like I needed it.

I tucked my hands into the pockets of his sweater, with my hands all balled up I could feel my ring finger stay colder than the rest of them. Draco still wasn't wearing his ring and yet the finger was cold? Was it going to be stuck like this forever? It was only a minor inconvenience, having a cold finger was really nothing. But it just reminded me that he so carelessly threw away my ring, and it made me start to feel a little sick to my stomach.

It didn't take me long to find the familiar door, I whispered the password and walk on in. I don't hear any music, or many people talking, I walk in further to find Fred, George, Ron and Ginny sitting around the room. The door shutting behind me is loud enough to turn their attention to me, Ginny comes running over and hugs me. "I've missed you!" She tells me, squeezing me tightly. There's no music playing, all the lights are on, no snacks out, or crowds of people, was I early? "Some party huh?" Fred asks, not getting up but motioning for me to come in, no one else was around, and they were dressed super casually.

Had no one showed up? That couldn't be, the twins always throw great parties, something had to be wrong. I try to replay our conversation in my mind, was I early? Late? It was tonight right?

"Just called it a party to make sure I could send the message to Malfoy that isn't invited." Fred adds, George's nose is still pretty busted up. "Just wanted an excuse to hangout again." Ron murmurs, I smile, I had really missed them. "You can always just tell me when you want to hangout." I tell them, coming in and sitting down, George smiles at me and tosses me a red solo cup. "Pick your poison." He murmurs, pushing a box across the floor to me, it had a ton of bottles in it. "I'm really sorry about your nose." I tell him, pulling out a bottle and filling my cup, he just shrugs. "It was worth it, at that point I didn't really know if he had done anything to you, he would have looked a lot worse if that were the case." He answers, a smile creeping onto his face, at least he wasn't mad at me over this.

"He didn't do anything, right?" He double checks, I nod. "He didn't do anything that you're thinking." I reassure him, he nods back and takes a sip of his drink. I didn't want the whole night to be about that, this was meant to be my escape.

"I love your dress." Ginny tells me, reaching for a cup, but Fred takes it from her. "You can have one drink." He tells her, she rolls her eyes and sits with me, I only laugh, she was lucky to have such caring brothers. I had always wished for a brother, never that interested in having a sister, but having an older brother to take care of me sounded nice. The twins were that for me. "Surprised Malfoy let you come to our 'party' in that dress." George laughs, I raise my eyebrow at him. "Draco does not have to approve of my outfits, he wasn't thrilled but that's his own problem." I answer, Ginny laughs and leans against my shoulder, the boys smile approvingly.

"You guys should have told me to dress normally, you're in sweats Ron!" I tell them, laughing at myself, everyone chuckles. "I mean this is the funnier alternative." Fred answers, I get cozy in between Ginny and Fred, his arm wraps around my shoulder and Ginny tucks in closer to me. I can't wait for the summer to spend the week with them. As much as I might not have a real family, this felt like family, maybe Ginny even sees me as a big sister, Merlin knows she has enough brothers. "Now Ginny, I know we love and look up to Y/n, but you will be taking no love life advice from her, right?" George jeers, I laughed and Ginny squeezes my hand. "Hey, it might look bad on the outside, but things could be a lot worse." I defend myself, taking a sip of my drink.
