Always The Chosen One (y/n x malfoy)

A Blissful Friendship

Back At Her Room
Malfoy's POV
I closed the door behind us as y/n immediately went to sit on the end of her bed. I asked concerned, "Everything okay? You havent really spoken much since ive showed to pick you up this time." She nodded as she sighed, "Yeah. Its just been a long night Malfoy.." I gulped as her energy or mood seems to be down. I guess she doesnt want to talk about it.. I approached her as I thought, what if its because of my father and I being at that wand shop? I said nervously, "Hey, I uhm- About earlier today, running into you and your friend at that wand shop.." She says, "Its fine. Really, I didnt mind it honestly." I nodded as I sat down next to her, I asked as I felt genuinely concerned, "But.. you seem mad at me. Or even stand-offish.." She finally looks up at me since we've entered the room. She looks into my eyes with empathy saying, "Im not mad at you- or anything. I swear." She gulped as she looked down, figeting with her small hands. She says, "Today- after you last seen me, I made alot of mistakes.. stupid errors honestly." Stupid errors huh? I felt sympathy as she continued to speak but this time she turned her whole body towards me, "But.. I couldn't shake off the mistakes that I had made." I listened as I turned my body to her showing her my full attention. She says while grabbing her wand out of her jacket, "Its like, every inch of me- wanted to run and hope that when I come back itd be reversed... Like I could turn back time or something.." She looked as she stared at her wand intensely. I said to comfort her, "Well, maybe one day youll figure that too, like you do to everything else. Right?" She looked up at me with a small smile, she tears up almost immediately. She said, "Right." I panicked slightly, "Woah, Im sorry- I didn't mean to make you cry or.." She smiled as the tears left her eyes as she laughed slightly. Your crying.. but laughing? She doesnt say a thing but rather jumps onto me and into my arms, as she said, "Tha- Thank you Draco.." I smiled, There it is again.. I held onto her feeling her crying into my arms. "No... Thank you y/n." She slightly let go of me as she looked up at me confused, "Hm?" I smiled as I stared into her eyes, glistening with the lights of the room in them. I said, "Just- thank you for being my friend. I know its probably confusing to you due to my reputation and the way I act towards others- but, I can tell you've given me the chance. So, thank you." She looked a little distraught yet surprised, she says, "Youve... Youve realized?" I nodded, "Well, to be fair.. your character is a bit misleading sometimes too. I just think that your smart, and if you didn't see something in me.. well, you wouldn't be here or dealing with me." She stares at me as if shes contemplating as she says, "If I told you a secret- could you keep it?" I nodded as she looked somewhat excited, "Pinky Promise?" I laughed at her slightly as I looked at her stick her pinky out. Pinky Promise huh? I looked at her eyes as I nodded with a smile, putting my pinky out. Her and I making a pinky promise. She says, "I repaired my friends wand- The one you seen me with in the Wand Store?" I went wide eyed, Fixed a broken wand? She says, "The man told him it was broken- Sir Sire. He said he couldnt fix it and so- I took it into my own hands." Into her own hands? How is that even possible?? I gulped as she looked at me with a worried look, "Draco? Tell me your still.. gonna keep our promise." I nodded as I said slightly worried, "I- I dont understand how-" "I used a basic repair spell, truth be told.. But- when that happened, something happened..." I gulped as I felt worried for her, "What happened?" "I.. I think I absorbed the energy... of the entire Ally when I did it.." "What??" I looked at her confused slightly, how much did she drink tonight?? She put her hair behind her ear as she said straight faced, "The wand was glowing, floating up- repairing itself piece by piece infront of Lukas and I..." She said looking down, "Tell me- do you believe me when I tell you of what happened?" I gulped as I looked at her looking at her hands once again figeting. Y/n.. I grabbed her hand and said, "Yeah. I- I trust you.. even though I may not understand how- I trust you." She looked up as she smiled at me once again, "I trust you too Draco Malfoy..." My heart felt as if it had skipped a beat, hearing her say my full name. I turn away slightly, gazing around the room to hide my face. I looked outside her window, seeing how dark it was outside. Its getting late. I said, "I should get going- make sure you get yourself some sleep before tomorrow morning." I looked to her as she scratched the back of her neck saying nervously, "About that..." I looked at her confused as she gulped, pointing to her neck. Blushing, Wha-Where do you insist on me looking?? I gulped as I said, "Im sorry- but what are you doing?" She looked at me saying, "Your really going to have me beg?" I felt flustered, Huh!? "Wha-what??" She stands up infront of me, flaunting infront of me- about to do a little spin. I looked away as I stood up, "Y/n- im really getting mixed messages right now.. I hope you understand.." She started to turn red, I think she just realized I actually have no clue what she means... I gulped waiting for her to speak as she said, "Your tie?? I know I kinda of put it on you back there when you picked me up- but I really didn't think about tomorrow.." It clicked with me as to why she was pointing to her neck, I said, "Thats all that this was about?" She gulped as she steadily leaned onto the wall saying, "Yeah.. I guess- I still have your robe and vest so I can make that work." I realized the slight change of emotion in her eyes, even tough I was already starting to take my tie off. Shes watching me as she says, "You dont have to give it to me if you dont want too.. I understand if it was too much yesterday during school if-" I had my tie in my hand as I approached her on the wall saying, "I didn't notice. People were probably to scared to say near me.." She looked at me asking sincerely, "Really?" I nodded giving her a reassuring smile, "And didnt I tell you before that I wouldn't care what you did with my name? When we first met that is?" She smiled slightly as I grabbed her hand, "What are you doing?" She asked giggling. I smiled as I had her keep her hand in the air, "Keep your hand like this." Y/n keeping her stand still as I started to tie my tie around her wrist and hand. I started to smile as I had my hand under hers with my tie wrapped around hers. Your my friend, I want you to know that and remember that. So please- I asked her, "I know you usually use magic on this hand.. so- if you think about using your magic when I leave-" "I promised you I wouldn't." I smiled, "I know. And im glad you remember that Princess- now please-" I gulped as I realized what I had just said trying to ignore it, "Lets get you in your bed? Nice and comfy??" Shes turned red and her stance is getting more wobbly.. She nodded as she put her hand out, I grabbed it as I aided her into the bed. Im surprised she didnt say or care about asking about the princess thing.. Her laying on her side as I felt relief saying, "Just incase you need to throw up in the middle of the night when im not here. Okay?" I grabbed a trash can, putting it on the side of her bed. She smiled as she held her arms out from under the covers, I leaned over the bed as I went into her arms. Her holding me as I held her, I said, "Goodnight.. Princess." She says cheekly, "Goodnight Draco." She gave me a kiss on my cheek. I felt my heart instantly race as I went wide eyed and felt flushed. She turned over peacefully as I was still leaned over shocked. As I leaned upwards, I notice she had already fallen asleep. Th-That was quick.. I gulped as I looked at her sleeping peacefully, What does that mean for us?? I gulped as I now felt conflicted as I was hoping to speak to y/n about it sometime tomorrow. Hopefully she'll be okay tonight. I tucked her in, leaning over her again as I looked at her sleeping. Should I kiss her back? Kiss her on the cheek as well?? I shook my head no, Shes been drinking and I.. I dont know if she just drunkenly kissed me or not. I gulped as I leaned up and off of her bed, walking out of her bedroom door and locking it.
The Next Morning
Dining Hall
Y/N's POV
I sit down across from Malfoy next to Goyale, putting my head down onto the table. Ugh- I have such a hangover.. I gulped as I tried to silence the noise of the room even though their were over 100 students in just this one room. Its only going to get worse huh? I felt a sudden touch on my leg, suddenly my hearing went quiet. Mm, thats nice.. I slightly peaked underneath to see Malfoy's shoe is whats touching my leg. Hes using a silence spell... my savior. I kept my leg there as I enjoyed the silence. As I savored the blessed silence provided by Draco's discreet spell, I couldn't help but feel a wave of gratitude wash over me. The throbbing ache in my head seemed to lessen, and the cacophony of voices around me faded into the background. I looked up at him with my head still down on the table, "Thanks." I murmured, offering him a weak but appreciative smile. I knew that Draco had always been there for me when I needed him the most. Draco returned a smile with a small nod, his eyes reflecting understanding and empathy. In that moment, I couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie with him, a silent acknowledgment of the unspoken bond that had formed between us over this first week of hogwarts. As the buzz of conversation resumed around us, I closed my eyes and allowed myself to relax, grateful for the brief respite from the chaos of the room. I knew that the hangover would eventually pass, but for now, I was content to bask in the tranquility provided by Draco's silent gesture of kindness. With Draco's support by my side, I felt confident that I could weather any storm that came my way, whether it be a literal storm of noise or the metaphorical storms of life at Hogwarts. And as I sat there in peaceful silence, I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope for the future, knowing that with friends like Draco and Goyale, and Crabbe that I would never have to face my challenges alone at Hogwarts. I feel Draco move his foot away as I looked at him in distraught, but hear, "Ms.King- is there issues with your food?" I turned around to face Dumbledore, I said, "Um, no sir. I just- dont feel hungry is all." He looked at me as he smiled while squinting, hm... now this is odd behavior. He pats me on the back saying, "Alright dear- just making sure we havent upset you with the meals were serving. We want to make sure everyone eats- especially breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day." I nodded as he did, smiling awkwardly as he than just walked away. "That was weird.." I turned to see it was Crabbe who said it. I nodded as I looked at Draco, I wonder if his father has something to do with that.. I gulped as I looked down at all the food inbetween us all, looking back to Dumbledore who was now on the stage with the other professors. Hes still looking over here.. Im confused- Breakfast is the most important meal of the day?? I turn back to the food, Draco makes a weird face saying to me, "Should I be worried?" I shook my head no as Goyale says, "They must be just curious about her is all." I scoffed agreeing, with a straight face, "Yeah- but I dont like people being curious at all." Crabbe says something due to Goyales regard, "Its true, I think we all are though." I looked at Crabbe slightly confused saying, "What do you mean?" "Well, everyones always talking about Harry and Draco- but somehow your names getting around too." I went wide eyed confused while quietly louding, "What- in gods name do you mean Crab?" He got a little nervous as he explains, "Well.." Crabbe hesitated, shifting uncomfortably in his seat under my incredulous gaze. "I mean, people are just curious about your relationship with Draco, that's all," he mumbled under his breath, avoiding eye contact. My mind raced with a flurry of emotions-confusion, worry, and a hint of anxiety. I hadn't realized that our interactions in public had garnered so much attention from our peers. Not enough that the whole school- including professors would be talking about at least. The thought of being the subject of gossip made my stomach churn uneasily. Draco shot Crabbe a warning glance, silently urging him to choose his words more carefully. "It's nothing Y/N. Just idle chatter among the students," Draco interjected smoothly, attempting to downplay the situation. But I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled over me. I couldn't help but wonder what people were saying about Draco behind his back, let alone mine and how our friendship was being perceived by others. Goyale placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder, offering me a supportive smile. "Don't let it bother you, Y/N. People love to talk, but it's none of their business," he said, his voice laced with sincerity. Taking a deep breath, I nodded, trying to push aside my worries. I knew that dwelling on gossip would only serve to distract me from the things that truly mattered-like my friendships, my studies. As the conversation shifted to lighter topics, I made a silent vow to myself to ignore the rumors and focus on the people who truly cared about me. With Draco, Goyale, and Crabbe by my side, I know that I could weather any storm of gossip that comes my way. I dont care about the dating rumors, Draco and I knew that was going to happen before anything. But- them being curious about me is a different story. I shook my head as I just put it back down as it started to pound again, dang hangover.. but before it could get any worse, I feel a pressure on my leg as I heard nothing but silence once again. Thank you Draco.
