Stuck with a Slytherin

11: Little Moments.

Yes, hello. Tis I, the author. So, imma just give y'all a quick explanation, alr? Yeah? ok.

So, this chapter is a scattering of events/interactions between Y/n and Draco. There are missing pieces, there are random parts, but bare with me.

The whole thing is 3rd person POV.

Also, we are going against Canon here, and Draco's lovely parents Luci and Cissy are going to be good parents. We're just gonna pretend that they actually care, mmkay?

Kk, that's it. ENJOY!!

Draco and Y/n were staring at the stars in the astronomy tower, breathing in the cool night air. As they laid on the chilly deck, Malfoy glanced at Y/n.

"What's your favorite constellation?" He asked.

She turned her head toward him. "Aquarius. Yours?"

He smirked and shifted his gaze back to the sky. "Hmm. I like Dra-"

"I swear, Malfoy, if you say you like Draco, I will slap you across the face. You're so self-centered, you probably think the constellation was named after you, not vise versa." Y/n sat up, pointing an accusing finger at him.

An expression of mock fear played on his face, with a hint of a smile behind it. "Oh, no!" He whispered sarcastically. "In all seriousness, though, I like Cassiopeia."

Y/n raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Really? I was not expecting that." She laid back down on the ground, then continued. "Why Cassiopeia?"

"I dunno, it's pretty. Plus I like the legend." He shrugged.

"What's the legend?"

"That, my love, is a story for another time."

Y/n's eyebrows furrowed, but she couldn't keep a smile from her face. "What'd you say?"

"Oh, um," He hesitated. "That's a story for another time?"

"Did you call me 'my love'?" A grin spread across her face.

"Uh, no. Definitely not." Malfoy stood up to leave, then stopped when Y/n called out.

"Wait, Dray... I liked it."

"Dray? Really?" His voice was skeptical.

"Yeah, I guess. I dunno."

By now, Draco was smiling too, and both teenagers stood there, awkwardly grinning at each other.

But a few moments later, Y/n broke the silence. "Um, well, I'm gonna go to bed."

"Oh, okay."

"...'Night, Dray."

"G'night, Y/n."

Y/n and Draco were sitting in the Common Room at 10:52 pm, doing their usual routine of DADA and Potions homework, while helping each other periodically.
