Foolish One ♡ (Draco Malfoy x Reader)

You know how to keep me waiting, I know how to act like I'm fine

Knock, knock, knock. I know for a fact whoever was behind the door wasn't knocking loudly, in fact, whoever it was was knocking very lightly. But it sounded as it they were pounding the door about to break it.

I got up as quickly as my headache and nausea allowed me to, wanting the noise to do anything but continue being so incredibly loud. I opened the door and found a smiling Draco holding a glass with a weird liquid on his hand.

"Here" he said, extending it to me.

"What's this?" I asked, taking the glass and sniffing it cautiously. The sharp, pungent smell made me gag, and I instinctively pulled it away from my face.

"For the hangover"

"I..."

"Just drink it, I woke up early to brew it in time for you to wake up"

He put my hand with the glass closer to my face. I made a disgusted face and just... chugged it. It was slimy and dense and... disgusting, it was a viscous, greenish liquid that smelled faintly of rotting herbs. A few seconds passed and... I felt new, I felt rested and myself again. That was, until the memories of last night came flushing trough me, making me lose my balance a little.

"You okay?" Draco asked and I nodded, hugging him so he couldn't see me blushing.

"Yes, you're the best" I answered.

"Well, obviously"

...

We were all in the Great Hall, I was sitting next to Draco, but even from my distance, I could see Cho and Harry eyeing each other, and the Patil twins flirting with Harry.

"Is he really that good looking?" Draco asked, noticing what I was looking at, I looked back at my food and just shrugged. "I mean, I'd like to think that I'm better looking"

"You are, but you're also an asshole"

"Not to you"

"Which is why we're friends"

"I don't want you to think that I'm pressuring you, but I'm here if you want to talk about whatever happened after I left or about how you feel with what happened during the party"

I turned to look at him, he seemed more preoccupied than I was about what happened. I just shrugged. "After potions"

Draco nodded and resumed his talk with his minions... and Pansy. God, how I hate her. I simply stood up, I couldn't take it anymore, if my mind wasn't on Harry kissing someone else, it was on Draco kissing me, and if it wasn't on that it was on Cho, and if it wasn't on that it was on Pugface. I realised I had accidentally hit the table too loud because everyone was looking over at me, I decided to act as if nothing had happened and walked out of there as fast as I could.

"Hey, wait up!" I hear someone calling after me, I didn't really recognise their voice, so I turned around to see who it was.

"Oh, hi Cedric"

"You okay? You left in a bit of a hurry"

I sighed. "I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed that's all"

"I get it" I nodded. "The feeling of overwhelming, I mean, I don't know what you're going through"

"I can only imagine, with the triwizard tournament and all"

"And the Yule Ball"

"Right..." I paused. "That damn Ball", I chuckled slightly. 

"Do you know who you're going with?" he asked and I shrugged.

"Probably Draco, I guess. I mean, we're best friends"
