The Purest Kind of Magic

- eleven -

I stared at Malfoy for a long time while he and Dumbledore spoke before he decided to speak up about it. "Do I have something on my face or are you just admiring me again?" He smirked as he turned towards me.

Why is he flirting with me in the headmaster's office.

"Well, I've said what I planned to say, so I don't see any more reason for you two to stay in here. You're dismissed," Dumbledore said with a smile. We jumped out of the chairs and left the room in a hurry. 

"How long have you known?" I asked as he closed the door behind us. 

He thought for a while, "I didn't keep track, but long enough."

"Then why did you act like you didn't when we first met? When I said that... I'm not related to him, you seemed to let out a breath of relief. At least that's what I saw out of the corner of my eye." We kept walking without stopping.

"You really need glasses then," He laughed, "I just didn't expect that you'd come here after you already started school in France. The 'breath of relief' you saw was probably me letting out the breath I held in for a long time."

"You knew I was lying?"

"I already knew who you actually were the second you said your full name. I expected you to lie about your relations with Potter." He said as he fixed his hair.

I looked at him for a few more seconds and sighed, "And I thought I was being sneaky."

"You are one of the dumber people here, Y/n," He teased as we stood in front of the Slytherin common room door, "Pureblood." The door slid open and we entered. I was greeted by Blaise who basically jumped me.

"Y/n!" He pulled me into a hug. Malfoy stared for a good 20 seconds before he walked away to the dorm area. 

"Jeez, it's not like it's been months, Blaise." I laughed at the way he reacted and pushed him off of me. 

"It felt like months, you've been hanging out with Draco a lot these weeks so I missed you," Blaise said as he led me to the couch.

"Still, we still talk a bit everyday regardless," I said, tilting my head while looking at him.

He looked into my eyes for a split second but looked away again. "It wasn't enough." 

"Ehhh? Do you not have any other friends? Pansy? Crabbe? Goyle? Nott?" I continued listing off names until he rolled his eyes and made me stop. 

"Seems you two are having fun," Nott said as he sat down across from Blaise. Nott and I never talked before, we just know that we were there, so I didn't have anything to say to him. I just gave him a simple smile with a nod. He did the same before speaking again.

"What were you two talking about?" 

"Oh nothing, just Blaise telling me about how he has no friends-" Blaise cut me off and threw a book at my direction but missed.

"I didn't say that!"

We kept messing around for a good 10 more minutes, I had fun, which was what I definitely needed. "You're funny, Y/n. We should've talked way sooner than this, I'm glad we did though." Nott gave me a sweet smile. 

Before I could thank him or give any reaction of some sort, something caught my attention and practically silenced me. 

Well, someone.

Malfoy walked out of the dorms area with a very very lose bathrobe, a towel around his neck, with wet, messy hair laid out in front of his forehead. 

His hair was slightly covering his eyes, I never realized how long they were getting until now since he usually had some sort of side or middle part. If someone asked me the definition of "hot," I'd say Draco Malfoy.

He noticed my eyes on him while he used his towel to dry his bangs. He smirked and walked over and sat next to Blaise, "You fancy me or something? I know I'm handsome."

I rolled my eyes at the narcissist's comment. "Don't be ridiculous, I might be one of the dumber people here but I'm not blind, thank you for asking," I mocked him.

"Nott, what were you saying again? That she's funny? Yeah you might want to take that back, she's more dumb than funny." Malfoy said, looking at Nott, who was amused by our small quarrel.

"A cute type of dumb, don't you think?" Nott said as he shot me a flirtous smile.
