Green for Envy | Draco Malfoy x y/n

§ㅅ19ㅅ§

The dummy lifts the wand slowly as Harry and Neville exchange a glance. I had missed the previous lesson due to a... meet up with Draco. "Expelliarmus!" Neville says as he flicks his wand backwards, the very same wand that he lets go. Everyone in the line behind him ducks.

"You're just flourishing your wand too much. Try it like this. Expelliarmus!" Harry explains to Neville, this time, the wand in the dummy's hand goes flying.

As I am walking towards my dorm I see Draco in the common room, he is holding a book I had read before, I knew the language was harsh so I come and sit down next to him. I enjoy seeing the squirming, confused woven look upon his face and I take the book out of his hand.

"Hey!" He says but I silence his complaints with a quick swift peck and he immediately listens. "This." I wave the book around "Is way too harsh of a book. I am an experienced reader and even I couldn't get into it. I suggest a lighter read." I reach into my satchel and rummage around for the one book I keep with me everywhere.

"Here." I say handing it to him but he holds out his hands. "It's fine really-" He hesitates, standing up "I'm going to go to bed now." The shoulder I receive is cold and icy. "Ok." I answer, no harsh words had escaped his mouth yet still I return to my room, my knees wobbling slightly. What has gotten into him?

The next few lessons with Harry were a bit of a bore. Draco was speaking to me less and less, and over a book? Something much deeper is going on, I suspect it.

I had to miss a meeting today as the inquisitorial squad duties had called for me. We walked through the halls, I was trying my best to lead them away from the room of requirements.

I feel Draco slowly prowling towards it, so with a small flick of my wand, a spark appears near the knight statue. Gold and blue light has still left it's impact on everyones retina's. Umbridge runs her hand along the knight statues blade, with the rumbling of stone it moves to remove her hand but the professor had already done so in surprise and fear.

"This school is unacceptable." The brisk, out of breath, high pitched voice echoed through the high ceilings. Another sound of stone was heard from all of us. The room of requirements had opened. Shit.

It was too dark to see inside, which was unusual, the room they had been training in was at least three times the brightness in this room. Draco makes a run for the room, using the logic that it would disappear as quickly as it had appeared. I follow him and we make it in.

There is a chain hanging above us that I can see after Draco has conjured a Lumos. I wrap my hands around it and pull. The light switches on and I brace to be met with the hurt expressions of the witches and wizards we were trying to help.

But it was just a broom closet, buckets and mops were all seen. It was the room of requirement, that was a small fact I had forgotten, it tends to the greatest need. And my greatest need just so happened to be to prevent my friends from getting caught.

I was pleased that we hadn't been caught in that meeting but my joy had faded when the next day, a new sign was nailed in and read over the loud speaker just after dinner.

"All students will submit to questioning about suspected illicit activities." I knew my friends were strong and would not crack under the pressure of umbridge questioning but the others I was not so sure about. It didn't make it any better that I was to be present during their questioning.

The crowd of students gathered in the hallway disperses as it is time for us to head back to our dorm rooms. I catch Draco in all the movement and decide to walk with him.

"Hey-" I lift my hand to touch his shoulder. He turns the corner and heads for the library, I don't make an effort to follow him and just drop my hand with a sigh.

That night flew by like the birds I was watching outside of Umbridge's tiny window. Only ten people had been seen in her office that morning and it was my job to check each of them off and to make sure no one was skipping.

"Up you come." The professor says, motioning for a first grader to come up. I had seen the boy in our lessons and prayed that he would not speak of the secret lessons, nor my involvement. Two more people walked in, and then I saw Ron, he was fiddling with the hem of his cloak and has managed to unravel a piece.

My eyes unconsciously drifted over to Malfoy's, I studied his blonde hair and the absence of his usual smirk. Charli nudges me and I snap out of my haze.

Charli had joined the inquisitorial squad after I had complained to her one night after we just finished training in the room of requirements, I'd like to think it was just because she was just a great friend but in reality it was also in the scenario that I let my guard down.

That night, I overheard the Weasley twins bragging during our training about planting a box of heart chocolates for Filch that were hexed, I soon saw what they were talking about when Filch arrived in Umbridge's office with a face full of pimples. I hear stifled giggles coming from the rest of the inquisitorial squad.

Before Draco manages to get away from me after our meeting, I grab his wrist.

"Can we talk?" I ask. He nods and walks us both to the common room.

"Why are you avoiding me?" I ask and he sighs. "What? Miss me? Wouldn't you rather go spend time with your boyfriend." "You are my boyfriend!" I reply, grasping for his hands. "No, Ron is. You spend so much time with him, I was starting to think you had forgotten about me."

He looked away. "I'm sorry, but I do not like Ron and he is not my boyfriend, the thought of that makes me throw up like earlier! I just, I thought that you were starting to hate my presence thats all."

"No, no, I could never." He smiled, and cupped my cheek, leaning in to kiss me. "Hey Y/n, do you think you could give me a hand with herbology, professor set a boring paper and I can't bother-" Draco quickly moves his hand away from my face, giving Charli a death stare.

"What?" She asked "Darn, was I a cockblocker?" Draco smirked as blush spread to my cheeks, I looked down and noticed how close I was to him. 

Charli walked out of the common room and to my surprise, I feel a strong pair of arms scoop me up and carry me up to his dorm, he finds a sock and sticks it on the door.

A moment later, I find him pushing me against the wall, his knee between my legs. "Now, care to finish what we started?"
