All Because of a Bet (Draco x Y/n)

T W E N T Y

A Slytherin in Red Robes

"Where have you been?" I asked Hermione and Ginny as they entered my shared dorm with Hermione late at night.

It had been just a few days since I hung out with Draco in the Prefects Bathroom. Needless to say, we redeemed ourselves a few times already without any interruptions from Myrtle.

"Studying in the library," Hermione replied.

"I believe that about you, but not Ginny."

Ginny's eyes narrowed at me. "Hanging around those Slytherins really has turned you into a total bitch, hasn't it?" she snapped.

"Only joking... but maybe I wouldn't have to hang out with them if you all would stop sneaking around behind my back," I said, my tone harsh, but I am honestly so done with my "friends" sneaking around.

"We aren't doing anything. If you care so much, why don't you go join Umbridge's little bitch squad," replied Ginny.

I laughed sarcastically and pointed towards my robes which lay on my bed. Pinned just above the Gryffindor crest that was sewn onto my robes was the medallion that Umbridge had just given me today.

"Don't try me," I bit as I pushed by them and out of the door. I continued on my way, out of the Gryffindor house, and to the library where I knew my new friends were awaiting.

Blaise, Pansy, Theo, and Draco all sat at a table. Rather than studying, they were all messing around.

"Look who it is! How was it?" asked Pansy as I stopped by Draco who wrapped an arm around my waist.

"Pretty sure I'm basically disowned from my house but if they want to play that game, then I can too," I said.

Draco's grip tightened on me and he pulled me into his lap. "Good. Slytherin fits you much better if you ask me," he said.

I smiled and leaned against his embrace while the others began talking once more. I would not have expected to find friends in the Slytherins, but now that I have, I can not be happier. Despite the wall they put up prior to actually getting to know them, they are the biggest sweethearts ever.

"I can't believe you actually like him," Theo commented from where he sat across the table.

"Mhm. So where are his galleons at?"

Theo glared at me. "I'll give them to him tomorrow. Thanks, Y/n."

Draco chuckled from where he sat behind me. Then, I felt him tuck some of my hair behind my ear before feeling his warm breath against my neck. "It's getting late. Want to get out of here?"

I pushed myself off of his lap and he was quick to follow. He quickly caught up to me and took my hand in his.

"My dorm?" he asked.

I nodded and let him lead me to his dorm all the way down in the dungeons. We walked through the common room which was mostly empty and we hurried upstairs to his dorm.

As Y/n stepped into my dorm, I could not help but feel like a giddy, little, kid. I mean Y/n Potter for heaven's sake. Who would have thought...

I avoided looking at her because I did not want her to notice my boiling-hot cheeks which I knew for a fact were as red as a tomato.

While I dug through my closet for a sweatshirt for her, I could feel her eyes on my back, but no need to fuel her ego. One look at my face right now and she won't let me hear the end of it.

"Is this okay?" I asked when I finally felt the courage to turn around. I tossed my sweatshirt onto her lap.

"Couldn't you pick something that isn't Slytherin-related?" she complained.

"Are you going to be an ungrateful brat? I just went out of my way and this is how you respond?"

Y/n rolled her eyes and began to undress until she was left in just her undergarments. This time, I could not look away despite my red cheeks.

Although, I was snapped out of my transe when she used the hoodie to cover the rest of her body. It was my Slytherin Quidditch hoodie, and it is massive on her.

"You should dress like that more often," I complimented as I too began to change.

This time, it was her turn to get red-faced and freeze up. I pretended not to notice as I changed out of my suit and into my sleepwear.

After I was done. I pulled the sheets on the bed back so we could go to bed.

"I can't believe we ended up together," she commented, "like of all people."

Y/n climbed into bed beside me and rested her head onto my chest.

"You make it sound like you're upset to be with me, darling," I said.

She shook her head. "No, no, no, it's not that. It's just how we acted towards each other all these years, and now here we are."

I wrapped an arm around her and kissed the top of her soft hair. "I'm happy about it."

"Yeah, never would have thought I would be the one to make Draco Malfoy happy."
