I Have To Tell You Something (d.m x reader)

25- D

I made it through the day thankfully, without any trouble and without any extra work, besides starting the potion today.

Theo and Blaise had already left to do their business, so I ate dinner quickly and got up to go and find Y/l/n.

Someone fell into step with me and it was her.

"Fancy starting now?"

"Was just going to go and find you. Let's go." I walked us to the direction of the dungeons and we started setting up our ingredients on the table.

"Right, so these go in the cauldron today, and the rest go in on day 5 of the brewing." She explained, and I was familiar with it and nodded.

"But we're missing an ingredient.." I frowned, scanning my eyes around for the seaweed.

"I'll go look in the cupboard again," She went to look. I wasn't familiar with where we could find seaweed other than buying it, but I was not spending anymore money on school.

"There is in fact none." She came back out next to me in front of the table.

"And our teacher isn't going to help us, and the ingredient is far too easy to collect instead of buying it."

"Oh, where do you find it?"

She looked at me like I'd just made a joke. She soon realised I was serious.

"The beach, Malfoy?" She smiled.

"I wouldn't know, I've never been." I admitted, prepared for her to think I was joking even more.

"Why?" She laughed slightly.

"My father didn't like that stuff." I chuckled, crossing my arms.

"Oh I see," I could see her thinking. "Then we'll obviously go."

I looked at her.

"So you can experience the beach," She paused, looking at me. "And for the seaweed of course." She explained quickly.

I nodded slowly, looking down at our cauldron. I was not used to this nice behaviour.

"Let's brew what we have now and then we have to get the seaweed within 5 days."

She nodded and started stirring the correct ways, putting in the ingredients at different times, and she knew.

I didn't really have to do anything but stir as I noticed her arm had gotten tired, so I offered.

"What do you do?" She asked, peering at me from the side.

I didn't understand what she meant. "What do you mean?" I looked at her.

"You know, you asked me a few nights ago," She paused and I made a face, understanding what she said. She smiled at me.

"Ohh," I paused, smiling down at the potion. "I still have yet to figure out what I like to do after everything that has happened," I looked at her and she nodded, understandingly.

"But Blaise introduced me to this Muggle contraption.. a skateboard?" I laughed, eyeing her to the side as I felt a bit embarrassed. I kept stirring.

"Oh I know what that is!" She told me, excitedly, and I was surprised.

"You do?" I asked.

"Yes! They're very fun aren't they?"

"Yes they are, a bit more fun than the broom I have to admit." She laughed with me, nodding.

"I guess that's something that I do in my spare time." I said.

"I haven't skateboarded in a while but I usually did with Daphne before school started. I've been trying to get Pansy to join but she's too afraid." She smiled.

"Blaise is pretty good, doing these weird tricks and all sorts, but we haven't really done it as a group with Theo yet." I concluded. I finished the stirring.

"You know, I think this assignment will be a piece of cake." She said.

"Yeah, I agree. But where should we store this to make sure it's safe?"

"There's abandoned classrooms we could hide and lock it in there." She said. I nodded and carried it out, to a few rooms over to the first abandoned classroom I thought of.

"Here's good." She said and I put it down in the corner behind some turned over desks and tables.
