Snakes | Draco Malfoy x Male!reader

Ch.17: Malfoy and Hate

As I walked out from my room I saw Draco sitting in the common room alone reading a book and eating a green apple. With nothing to do and bored, I decided to join him and sat next to him on the couch.

"Whatcha reading?" I questioned.

Draco slammed the book shut and shoved it between him and the couch arm.

"Nothing, don't worry about it." He quickly rushed.

"Okay.. well I'm bored, wanna hangout?" I asked.

"Oh, sure. Actually wait, this reminds me. I gotta ask you something." He raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah..?" I adjusted my posture.

"Father says I can invite someone over for Holiday, would you like to come along for Christmas?" He says with a wide smile and shining eyes.

I'll be honest, I did not expect this. Without thinking I found myself nodding.

"Sure, I'd love to go. I'd have to write to my mum though for permission.." I shared.

"Here, why don't you do that now and then so we can hangout? Holiday is only in a few days." His face was nearly glowing.

I quickly stood up and ran over to my room where the shared desk was. I grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill with ink and started scribbling down what I was going to ask.

Dear Mum,

I wanted to know if it would be alright if I stayed Holiday break with the Malfoys. I was invited over there to celebrate with them. I know I always spend it with you but I'd feel rude if I turned down the invitation. Would that be alright?

Sincerely your son, y/n.

I rushed to my owl and sent the letter to her before walking back out to Draco once again reading.

"Hey, are you ready to hangout?" I said from behind him as I leaned against the couch.

He jumped and once again closed his book shut.

"Uh- yeah- let's go." His face was red.

The two of us started walking around the school, occasionally yelling at students to follow the rules. After some time we got bored and sat in an empty hallway.

"Soooo.. any ideas of what to do now?" I asked.

"Not really.."
"There's gotta be something..?"
"What if we pranked somebody?"
"That... could be fun.."
"Any ideas of what we could do?"

I paused and thought to myself.
"Well.. yeah actually." I smiled while reaching for a vial in my robe pocket.

"Is that a... hate potion?" Draco questioned.

"Mhm, we could test it on somebody." I nudged him with a devilish grin.

"I like the way you think, y/n! Though I have to ask, how did you manage to make it that deep of red?.." His grin turned into a look of question.

"I was really upset when I made it, channeling your emotions helps make potions and spells more powerful." I stated.

"Where'd you learn that?"

"...Erm.. a friend told me.."

He shrugged as we got up.

"Who should we test it on?" I asked.

"Potter!"

"Okay but realistically how would we do that?"

He paused.
"Good point."
