"You're not denying though... you do like him, don't you, Y/N?" he said, in a teasing voice. "Whatever..." I said, rolling my eyes. I turn around and walk away. I can hear Ron chuckling behind me. I just smile to myself, thinking about Harry. Then the smile turns into frown as I remember Harry is still down there somewhere. I can only hope that he's going to be alright.

-Forgiveness-

Y/N P.O.V

Harry have returned, and he's alright. Which makes me glad. But I kinda feel awkward when I'm around him. After he kisses me... I'm having a mix feelings about him. Do I like him that way?

I'm currently sitting in seat of the dining hall. I just eat in silent, because my friends are from Gryffindor house and I still haven't made up with Draco after what happened.

The door opens to reveal Hermione. I grin when I look at her. I instantly stand up and run towards her. She grins widely when she saw me coming. I pull her into a tight hug. She stumbles a little but manage to steady herself.

"Oh, Hermione... I'm so happy to see you're back on your feet!" I said, happily. I pull away and check her to make sure she's really alright. She giggles at my action and place her hands on my shoulders. "I'm alright... don't worry..." she said. I smile softly and hugs her again.

I hear footsteps coming towards us. I turn around to see Harry, with Ron following close behind him. He pulls Hermione into a hug. She pulls away and turn to Ron. She was about to hug him but stops. In the end, they just shakes hands.

I smile at the three of them and make my way back to my seat. Professor McGonagall gently tap her glass to get our attention. We turn our head to look at her, to let her know that she have our attention. Then Professor Dumbledore stands up and starts praising the two Professors that manage to creat an antidote for the students that got petrified. He also told us that the exam is cancelled. Hermione is the only one that looks upset while everyone else starts cheering. I just stay silent, not really knowing how to react on that.

The door opens to reveal Hagrid. Apparently he's been banished from Hogwarts, because he's friends with Aragog and someone accused him of being the one that opened the Chamber of Secrets. I'm happy to see him back and got his name cleared.

He walks towards Harry, Ron and Hermione. He thank them for helping him clear his name. "I could not do this without you, Harry... Ron... and of course Hermione. You too, Y/N..." he said, turning to look at me. I just smile softly at him. Harry stands up and hugs him. All of us starts cheering happily.

Time-skip

After dinner we head to our houses. I feel sad since I'm in the different house from my friends. I wish I can be with them... if only I know. I would've chose to be in Gryffindor.

I reach the Slytherin house. I say the password and enters. I make my way to the common room. I was about to head to my room, when I hear someone calling my name.

I turn around and roll my eyes when I realize who called me. "What do you want? If you're only trying to find a way to insult my friends again... then just save it to yourself!" I said. I was about to walk away, but a hand grab my wrist.

"Y/N... please... I'm sorry. I know what I did was wrong... I'm just... scared, okay?" he said. "Scared? Why would you be scared?" I said, turning to look at him.

"You're the only one that truly cares about me in our family, Y/N... and... after being here... after you're friends with them... you're always around them. You never paid attention to me like you usually have... I guess... I'm just... jealous... I'm scared that you will forget about me eventually because you hang around them..." he said. "You're being silly, Draco... and I thought that you don't want me around them was because of dad... that's what you've been saying to me every time you saw me around them..." I said.

"No... I don't really care about what dad thinks if that's what you're wondering. I just lie about it because I don't want you to know about me being insecure..." he said. "Is that all?" I said, crossing my arms across my chest. He looks down. But I can see tears streaming down his cheeks.

"I just don't want what we have to fade... if you know what I mean..." he said, in a hush tone. "Draco..." I said in a soft tone. I can see his shoulders shaking lightly and I can hear his light sobbing. I let out a soft sigh. I shake my head and walk towards him. I gently wrap my arms around his torso.

"What you did really hurts me, Draco..." I said. "I-I know... I know I'm such a bad brother. But please... please forgive me, Y/N... don't hate me..." he said, in a pleading tone as he bury his face in the crook of my neck. I can feel my neck getting wet from his tears. I pull away from him and wipe his tears.

"You're my brother. Until now and forever you will always be my brother. I will always need you... you don't have to worry about me forgetting you, Draco. That's never going to happen... I love you" I said. He just pulls me into a tight hug.

"D-Does t-this m-means... y-you forgive m-m-me?" He said. "Yes... I forgive you... only if you promise you will never do something like that again and actually talk to me when you're feeling insecure..." I said, pulling away to look at him. "I promise... no... I swear on my life..." he said. "Good... now don't cry you big baby..." I said. He pouts at the nickname. "I am still older than you..." he said. I roll my eyes and playfully punch his shoulder. "Shut up! You're older only by a few minute" I said. "Still older..." he said, sticking his tongue out. I scoff and roll my eyes. But eventually we start to laugh.

"It's getting late... we should head to bed. We have a train to catch tomorrow" I said. He smiles and nod his head. He hugs me one more time. "Goodnight, sis..." he said. "Goodnight, brother..." I said. We pull away and head towards our rooms.

I lay on my bed with a content smile. Things between Draco and I finally gets better. I can be more happier now. I turn to my side and close my eyes, slowly drift off to peaceful slumber.
