Potions Partners (Name Pending)

The Golden Trio

As you went back to your dorm, you couldn't stop going over the conversations you had with Draco that night in your head. You kept replaying what he had said. "Do you like it?" "Yeah, Y/N. Me too." You were so lost in thought, you almost ran right into Ron, Harry, and Hermione. The Golden Trio.

"Y/N," Harry said as he nodded toward you. You almost would have thought he was being friendly, but then you saw his face.

"Is there something wrong?" You asked him.

"Is there something wrong, she asks!" Ron exclaims. "Of course there is something wrong! We saw you eating dinner with Malfoy!" The way he spit out Draco's name, you would have thought he personally ruined Ron's life.

"Ronald is right," Hermione said. "What were you doing with him?"

"Nothing! We were working on our Potions assignment and lost track of time! We missed dinner, so we went down to the kitchens for some food!" You explained.

"I knew he was bad news," Harry muttered under his breath.

"Are you blackmailing him or something?" Harry says, louder this time.

"What?! No way! Why would you think that?"

"Then why was he being so nice to you?" Ron asks.

"I don't know! He is just nice!" You answer. "He isn't the same around me as he is with you guys'. It's weird and I don't know why." You catch yourself fiddling with his ring again and quickly drop your hand to your side.

"Fine. But if you even think he is going to do something to hurt you, let us know. Promise?" Hermione tells you.

"Promise." The Trio turns and walks away, and you do the same, going towards your dorm. Is he really that different around me? You think.

The next day in Potions class, talking with Draco didn't feel any different. It almost felt more comfortable. You two were sitting at your desk, waiting for Professor Snape to come around and check your potion.

"How do you think we did?" You ask him.

"Amazing, obviously," He responded with a little smile. You turn to look at him surprised. That was the first time you had ever seen the sarcastic side to him. He gives you a small smirk, and you turn back just in time to see Snape come up to your desk.

"Nice job, Y/N and Malfoy." The professor says.

You turn to look at Draco with a smile. "We did it!"

He gives a little laugh and agrees. You turn back around as Snape starts the new lesson, but as the class goes by, you catch Draco looking at you more than once. As the class ends and you start to pack up your things, you start to say goodbye.

But Draco beats you to it and says "I had fun today. With you."

You smile, remembering you had said the exact thing last night. "Yeah, Draco. Me too."
