I Wish To Be Normal (Draco Malfoy X Reader X Harry Potter)

Chapter 77

Previously on Chapter 76

For the past months. I haven't been sleeping. I feel so tired, but I have to fight it. I need to get this right. If I fail... it'll cause Y/N's life. I don't wanna do this... but I don't have a choice.

-Amortentia-

Y/N P.O.V

I wake up in the Slytherin house. I get up from the bed and head towards the washroom for a shower. I look down at the number on my hand. It turns from 184 to 183.

I let out a sigh as I know what will happen when the number reaches 0. It'll be the day of my birthday. The day my nature will decide whether I'm Light or Dark. Honestly, just the thought of it terrifies me.

I finish up my showering and head back to my room. I change into my Slytherin robe. I make my way out of my room, grabbing my sling bag along the way and out of Slytherin house.

I make my way to the Dining Hall. I take a seat next to Draco, who still looks like he's deep in thought. I wave my hand in front of his face. He seems to snap out of it and turns his head to look at me.

"Are you okay?" I asked, looking at him with worry. He rolls his eyes. He gets up and walks away from the Dining Hall. 'What's wrong with him? Why did he suddenly acted so rude towards me?' I thought to myself. I let out a sigh and starts to eat.

Time-skip

It's potion class. The professor teaching us will be Professor Slughorn. Apparently he's an old teacher. He left for a reason and now he's back.

I'm now standing next to Hermione. I stand there, deep in thought. My mind still on Draco. Just what happened with him? Why did he suddenly acted so cold towards me? Did I do or say something wrong to him? I'm going to have to confront him later.

The door burst open as Harry and Ron walks inside the classroom. "Ah... Harry, my boy. I'm beginning to worry and I see you've brought a friend with you" Professor Slughorn said.

I hear a soft sigh next to me. I turn my head to see a girl. I know her as Lavender Brown. She's looking at Ron with a dreamy look. I turn my head away from the girl and just focus on the cauldron in front of me.

"Can anyone tell me... what's inside this cauldron?" Professor Slughorn said, while opening a cauldron. Hermione raises her hand. Professor Slughorn turns to look at her with a smile.

"Yes..." he said. "Granger, sir..." she said. She take a step forward. "That's Amortentia sir... the strongest love potion. A lot say that it smells different to each people... which depends on what attracts them. For example..." she started, she take a step closer to the cauldron.

"I smell freshly mown grass, new parchment paper and spearmint... toothpaste..." she said. I notice she takes a quick glance at Ron, before backing away. I bit back a smile, knowing she just smelt Ron's scent.

"Amortentia doesn't exactly creates love... it can... however, create an obsession..." Professor Slughorn said. I notice a few girls taking steps closer to the cauldron. When Professor closes it. They seem to snap out of it and take a couple of steps backwards, looking flustered.

"Ms. Duchanne... how about you? Let us know what you smell in this..." Professor said. I look at him in surprise. I take a step towards the cauldron as he opens it again. I take a deep breath, inhaling the scent.

"Ticklish pear... quidditch pitch..." I said. It's Cedric's scent. He always smells like Quidditch Pitch. I inhale again in case I smell something else. But this time I just smell something completely different. "Wait... the smell just changed. Is that possible Professor?" I asked, turning to look at Professor Slughorn with a confused expression.

"I don't know about that. What do you smell now?" He said. I smell again. "Um... I smell... green apples, and treacle tart... that's all..." I said. I take a couple of steps back, away from the Cauldron.

Draco P.O.V

Green apple? Could it be possible that she smells me in the potion? Why now... I've been chasing after her for the past 6 years. Now when I'm trying to keep my distance from her... this happened. I wish things are different for me. I wish my family never interact with HIM. Then maybe I would have a chance to be with Y/N.

I turn my gaze to look at Y/N. She looks so beautiful, like she always have. She always looks flawless. She's just perfect. Her eyes flicker slightly, I look away just in case she would turn to look at me.

Y/N P.O.V

I can feel a pair of eyes on me. I turn my head to see Draco. I can see him looking away. Green apple... I only know one person who loves to eat green apple and that person is Draco.

The first time I smell the potion, I smell Cedric. But why the second time I smell Draco? And what's the other one? I've never smelt treacle tart on Draco. Is it possible that I'm attracted to two people? Draco... and who?

I mentally shake my head. I shouldn't think about it. I have to focus on class. Besides, I have this tattoo on my arm to worry about. 182 days... that means I only have a few months left until the Claiming. I have no time for love. Not after what happened with Cedric. I don't wanna be in pain anymore.

Professor Slughorn told us to try to brew Draught of the Living Death. He offers a reward, which will be a small vial of Felix Felicis, which also known as liquid luck. It is said that the person who drinks it will have all their needs go as planned. I need that potion. It might help me find a way to break this curse. I make my way to where the room keep the ingredients and grab everything I need. I walk back to my table and try my best to brew the potion.

A few moments later

I failed... in the end, Harry wins the vial. I clap my hands, feeling happy for my best friend. He seems to be able to brew it with ease. It makes wonder how he do that... remembering how bad he was at potion making.

Draco on the other hand, he's an excel in potion... yet he lost to Harry. I don't know what's going on with Draco, and it makes me worried. He seems to be so out of it.

I glance at Draco. For the first time, he didn't glare at Harry or make a remark. Instead, he just looks upset. It makes me wonder if he actually need it for something. But if so... what would he need it for? Why is he acting so weird? He's not like how he used to be.

Draco... what happened to you?
