Y/N's POV
As I woke up, I instantly felt better. Madame Pomfrey gave me a couple vials and told me to wait until lunch to see if I felt better. The vile of medication made me a bit woozy so I fell asleep for a couple hours. Once I woke up, I instantly felt better. Madame Pomfrey discharged me, and the second I walked out of the Hospital Wing, I was engulfed with hugs from multiple people. Pansy, Blaise, Hermione, Harry and Ron. I closed my eyes and hugged them each back.

"Oh Y/N, I'm so glad you're alright!" Hermione gushed, looking as if she was about to cry. I smiled at each of them, thanking Pansy, Blaise, and Hermione for taking me to the Hospital Wing. As we walked to the Great Hall for lunch, they all caught me up on the latest gossip around the school. I laughed, talked and listened to their conversations. They became quiet and I looked at them. They were looking at something, so I followed their gaze to see Draco Malfoy, cooly standing against the wall, smirking. Harry sneered at him, as he walked towards us.

"Back away, Malfoy." Ron began, glaring at the bloke. Draco completely ignored him and went straight to me. He looked at me, worriedly.

"Are you alright?" I wasn't looking at them, but I could tell their jaws dropped at the sight of Draco Malfoy asking if I was alright. I nodded at Draco, and smiled at him gently. He gave me a hug and winked, walking into the Great Hall with Pansy and Blaise following him. I turned to the Golden Trio and shrugged, walking into the great hall towards Ravenclaw table. Throughout lunch, Draco would stare at me from across the hall, making me uncomfortable.

------------------

"He did not! He did not say that in front of you." I wheezed. Draco looked embarrassed. "You actually thought she was going to ride a broom when your father was trying to flirt with her?!"

"In my defense, I was 5. He said 'Wanna ride my broom later, sweetheart?' and I asked if I could join." I screamed in laughter at this. I clutched my stomach and fell onto his bed as I rolled around trying to catch my breath.

"Were you that desperate to get laid? I knew you were a player, but joining your parents is a bit too weird." Draco gasped at this. When I saw his face, I absolutely wheezed. He pinned me down underneath him and began tickling me. I screamed, trying to push his hands away.

"Mercy! Please have mercy!" He stopped to smile down at me. As he stopped, I let out a breath of fresh air and tried to catch my breath. He smiled softly at the sight. I looked at the clock on his nightstand. It was already midnight. I didn't have to worry about his dorm mates coming in mid-conversation. His father got him his own private dorm, courtesy of a large donation given to the school by his father, to the Slytherin House.

"You can stay here, Y/N. It's late, and it'll be a long walk to Ravenclaw Tower. I can't promise that you'll make it without Filch catching you with his homeless cat."

"You read my mind. I'm going to go ask Pansy to borrow her pj's. I can't fall asleep in my robes." As I pushed him off of me to get up, he got on top again.

"You can borrow one of my T-Shirts."

"But-"

"Sometimes Snape comes into the common room to do some work. You wouldn't want him to catch you. Even though you are a pureblood, you're not a part of our house and Snape is quite strict when it comes to visitors after midnight." He got up to go to his closet and threw a random shirt, a toothbrush and a pair of boxers at me. I caught them and got up.

"May I use the restroom?"

"You don't have to ask, I don't control your bladder."

"Good point." I went into his restroom to change out of my robes and into the clothes he lent me. I brushed my teeth and got ready for bed. Within minutes I walked out to see Draco changing. He was shirtless, and I saw his muscled and toned back.

"See what you like, darling?" I blushed.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He laughed at my response and put on his T-shirt. He turned around to see me on his couch laying there and stood still, staring at me. I felt embarrassed and hid under the blanket there. I saw him smile as he walked towards the couch. He picked me up bridal style and threw me on the bed.

"Sleep on the bed tonight. I'll sleep on the couch."

"Draco, please. I'm your guest, sleep on your bed. I'll take the couch."

"You're never going to let me sleep on the couch, are you?" I shook my head. "And I won't let you sleep on the couch. Fine, I'll sleep with you, on the bed. Is that alright?" I bit my lip and hesitantly nodded. He smiled and went to the other side of the bed to lay down, threw the covers over us and turned to look at me. He chuckled as I turned the other way out of embarrassment.

DRACO's POV
She was probably asleep. It'd been a hour since she said something. I felt an urge to hug her for some reason. "Y/N?" I whispered, checking if she was asleep. I didn't hear a response, just soft breathing. I slid closer to her and pulled her towards me, to the center of the bed. I spooned her as I took in her scent. Lychee, it was a fruit she loved ever since she was a child. Before we went to Hogwarts, I bought her 10 large bottles of Lychee perfume. She naturally smelled like lychee but she had always wanted the perfume. I was surprised she still smelled like that. It was a scent that was sweet, innocent, yet so calming at the same time. My eyes began to get heavy, until someone knocked on the door. I groaned, kissed her head before I got up. I opened a door to see Astoria Greengrass, in the flesh, at my door.

"What do you want Astoria?" I whispered, clearly tired.

"Wanted to know how the bet was going. I saw you talking to Y/L/N in the Great Hall--" I immediately shushed her.

"Be quiet, she's in my dorm sleeping right now!" I half whisper-screamed at her. She smirked.

"Wow, slept with her already? How was she in bed?" She whispered back, laughing. I immediately glared at her.

"What the hell, Astoria, of course not! I'm not going to sleep with her in that way. This is just for the bet. Just make her fall in love with me and that's it." She nodded, then left me alone. I closed the door and locked it gently, hoping that didn't wake Y/N up. When I looked back at her figure, her chest was going up and down slowly. I let out a breath of relief, thank goodness she was still asleep.

I walked to her figure and hugged her from behind once more, taking in her scent and falling asleep to it. Her face lingering in my mind as I drifted off.
