No Antidote | Draco Malfoy x Astoria Greengrass Love Story

Abandoned | Chapter 09

Astoria was about to leave for work when Draco knocked on her door.

"I'm running late for work Draco" was all she said when she opened the door. 

"We need to talk" he sighed, blocking the doorway.

"About what? About how you completely lost your shit?" she spat, annoyed at his behavior.

"I far from lost my shit, if I had lost my shit Rosier wouldn't be walking" he growled, he was just as annoyed about the whole thing as she was. "Beside, he was the one to throw a spell first" said Draco defensively.

"Still! I expected better from you" she argued.

"Well you shouldn't have!" he said raising his voice. 

"You're right, I never should have trusted and allowed you to come back into my life and fuck everything up" she said sharply. Draco let out a frustrated sigh.

"I didn't come here to fight" he said quietly, looking down. 

"Well then you shouldn't have come at all" she said glaring at him, for another second before pushing past him and leaving for work. 

Work dragged on for what felt like ages. She did her best to be normal, but she could tell even her co-workers knew she was in a bad mood. During her break, she was sitting on the roof of the restaurant, and Wren came up and handed her a joint, as if he knew she was in a terrible mood. She took it without hesitation. 

"Annabelle read the papers" he explained, after she had passed the joint back to him. "We thought it was a little weird you're friends with Draco Malfoy, but he seemed cool at the party we didn't think to much of it..." he shrugged. Fuck, the papers... "We didn't know you enjoyed such upscale parties and men" teased Wren. "Anyways, we don't know what happened, but we just want you to know we're on team Draco and that we're here for you" he added, before handing her back the joint and disappearing. Astoria couldn't help but to chuckle at Wren's words. Wyatt and him had such an easy going nature to them, it was hard to ever find what they said annoying. That was probably why they sent him up to talk to her. 

The rest of the day, Astoria was a little more at ease. It helped to be high as fuck. 

When she got back to her apartment, she realized Draco was still there. He was sitting on the couch, he had fallen asleep.

"You're still here?" she asked quietly, sitting down next to him. His eyes fluttered open and he looked at her, no signs of anger, just despair. 

"I'm sorry I fucked up" said Draco, leaning his head against her shoulder. 

"That you did" she said quietly, but she was no longer so angry. 

"I'm sorry Rosier now knows your secret" he added, feeling guilty, it was him that made it possible for him to know. 

"That was an accident" she shrugged.

"But still my fault" he sighed. She shrugged her shoulders and nodded in agreement.

"It would have eventually happened" she sighed, "Guillaume promised he wouldn't tell anyone" she added. 

"I bet he did" muttered Draco. A Greengrass was worth more than some nobody Astrid Grey.

The sat in silence for a little longer with Draco's head resting on her shoulder. He knew the silence meant she was no longer mad at him, and he felt relieved.

"Have you read the papers?" he asked, finally, breaking the silence. 

"Not yet" she admitted, "do I want to?" she asked.
