Mud-Blood

She was in bed with her hand on her chest to steady her breathing. She was still trying to process what had just happened. Why did things escalate, why did she kiss her enemy? Why would she even let him kiss her? She was scared of what was happening to her feelings, she hated Draco and he always knew how to make her life a living hell. His cocky smile and witty remarks, everything he did she despised but also waited for. She would wake up and think about when he would show up and give her a dirty look or something rude, it was a daily occurrence for her. Patiently waiting for him to show up. She was angry with herself she let him in, let him control her emotions and mind. Before she showed up at Hogwarts she built a barrier in her mind and he tore it down like nothing. All he had to do was look in her direction and she caved in. She lied down in her bed and pulled the covers over her, falling asleep. Her dreams were normal, it was just her roaming the corridors of Hogwarts and then she was walking toward a figure, his face was covered by a silver mask and he was wearing a black cloak. Her heart started to beat and she became sweaty. She tossed and turned and groaned from fear of this figure, he pulled out his wand and pointed it, and a green light covered her view. She shot up and all the girls glared at her as they got dressed, she rubbed her eyes and stood up, grabbing her uniform to get dressed and put on her robe. She grabbed her book bag and wand and headed to class. She hummed as she walked down the corridor into her class and sat down at her desk, setting her bag on top of it. She looked around the classroom, not seeing Draco. Relief came over her, she didn't want to be face-to-face with him right now, last night was a mistake and she didn't know what would happen now that she and the Slytherin prince kissed. Y/n sat there and twirled her wand in her fingers, listening to the Professor speak about an upcoming assignment about werewolves. Draco walked into the classroom, looking hungover and angry, he sat down next to Pansy. Y/n felt jealous, she just sat there and tried to hide the fact she had been staring for a long time. Draco started to whisper into Pansy's ear and she started to smile at him, anger set in, what could he possibly have said to her to make her so happy? He hated her she thought? Draco's eyes peered over at Y/n and she stiffened her back, he rolled his eyes and looked away. What was his issue? He was all over her now he didn't even want to look at her. She wanted his attention, wanted him to look at her as he did last night, there was something about how he looked at her that made her crave it. She took her robe off and walked up to the Professor's desk. Draco's eyes followed her as she walked, he licked the inside of his mouth and lowered his head, peeking upwards. Y/n leaned on the desk as she asked the Professor some questions about the assignment, looking over at Draco as the professor talked, she felt disgusted with herself for trying to get his attention when he clearly didn't want to look at her, then she got what she wanted, Draco looked back up and leaned back in his chair, roaming his eyes along her body and raised an eyebrow, realizing what she was doing. They made eye contact and she instantly got nervous, her plan was working but at what cost? Draco tilted his head as he stared into her eyes, shaking his head. She stood up straight and walked toward Draco, walking right past him. Draco closed his eyes and twitched his head at the smell of her perfume, it made him go crazy, made him hungry for her. He clenched his jaw and continued working. Y/n sat down and smiled as she started to do her homework. Draco made her emotions run wild, always making her second-guess herself. Over those three months of Draco avoiding her after he confessed to being a death eater, they would see each other around and he would pretend he didn't see her around but it was obvious he despised pretending. They both did, she tried to get his attention but he barely budged, now that they had shared such a deep moment it was easy to get his attention. After class, Y/n went to meet up with Hermione by the front doors to go dress shopping for the ball. "Hello Y/n, ready to go?" Hermione clutched her bag and walked out the front doors "Yes, I'm very excited" She said sarcastically "Hey, don't be such a...you know, Slytherin" Y/n pointed at her robe "Well, that's a little late to say Hermione. I'm basically imprinted"
"It could be worse, you could be a death eater. So I would say you aren't imprinted. Unless?" Hermione stopped walking and turned to face her "Wait, you think I'm a death eater?"
"Are you?" Hermione raised her eyebrow and Y/n rolled her eyes and lifted her sleeve "See, no death eater" Hermione sighed with relief "Good, the most evil Slytherins are death eaters, if you ever come in contact with one run far away. They are bad news" Y/n went silent as she remembered the large dark mark on Draco's arm, he didn't seem evil as everyone said. "Are there any death eaters who aren't evil as they say? Like, what if they regret it?" Hermione giggled "I highly doubt that". Y/n and Hermione arrived at Hogsmeade and headed to the dress shop. "What are you looking for Y/n?" She walked down the aisle, dresses on each side "No clue, I never expected me dress shopping that's all" Hermione pulled out a huge pink ballgown "How about this?"
"You're joking? Do I look like a pig to you?"
"No, but you are very judgmental. Hopefully going to the ball will enlighten your attitude" Esme smiled and looked back at the dresses "Okay now this one is perfect for you" Y/n looked up, expecting another hideous dress. A white ballgown with a lace collar "That's actually really nice" Y/n walked up to Hermione and started to feel the dress "See the Slytherin is already leaving you already" Hermione gave her the dress to hold "I think it's wonderful Y/n, you should try it on, see if it fits" She walked over to the change room and closed the door, she took her clothes off and slipped the dress on. It was quite large and heavy but it fit her body perfectly, she walked out of the changing room "Can you tie the corset for me?" Hermione stood there with her eyes wide, she didn't move "What?" Y/n held her hair up and looked at Hermione through the mirror "You look...amazing. I never expected you to look so elegant" She walked up and started to tighten the corset. The bell on the door rang and she looked at the door and Saw Draco walk in, his eyes glanced over a second then he was going to look away but now that he noticed who he was looking at he shot his head back over to Y/n, he stood there and watched Hermione tighten the corset. Y/n made eye contact with him through the mirror, she wanted him to look away first, as he walked away she sighed with relief "What? did I tie it to much?" Hermione asked "No, its perfect" She turned to face Hermione, her eyes glanced behind Hermione and Draco was walking through the aisles of suits, occasionally looking up at her, a large smirk curled on his lips as he looked away, filling her stomach with butterflies, she put her hand on her tight waist as she struggled to breath from how nervous she felt "Here" Hermione ran back over, putting a pearl choker around her neck "See, it looks beautiful with it" Y/n touched the necklace as she turned around to look in the mirror, still seeing Draco's eyes in the mirror. Y/n moved her hair to the side of her neck, showing off the side where Draco had his lips, she stared into his eyes as she watched him smirk then lick his lips as he looked away, she smiled at his reaction. Y/n had changed back into her clothes and walked up to the counter with the dress and necklace, she felt Draco watching behind her "Its already covered" The man said behind the counter "Really?Hermione did you know this?" He shrugged "No, only your's miss" Y/n narrowed her eyebrows in confusion. She looked behind her as the man packed up her things, Draco was looking at her then looked down, that little pest did it, he paid for the dress, but why? "Hermione I'm going to go take a rest outside, get some air" Y/n said as Hermione still browsed from. dresses. Y/n's head started to hurt from stress, everything was becoming too much, every second was a step closer to dancing with Draco, she really was terrified to get that close to him again. She put her hand on her head. She stumbled down the road and walked down an alley to rest so no one could see her "Lost are we?" A creepy man started to walk toward her "No, I'm okay" Y/n tried not to make eye contact "Are you sure? You are quite pretty" The man walked right up to her and started to sniff her "Please leave me alone!" The man's face was very close to hers "But-" The guy was about to speak "I would recommend you leave" A voice cut the creepy man off. She looked over and saw Draco standing there with his hands in his pockets "Uh, a greedy Malfoy. See you around sweetie" The man made a kiss gesture and walked away, disappearing into the alley. "What are you doing down here? Do you want to get hurt?" He said as she walked up to him "Maybe" Draco rolled his eyes "I'm getting quite sick of you. Constantly trying to get my attention. Yeah, I noticed" She looked away then back up into his eyes "I have no idea what you are talking about Draco. Why would I want your attention? You assume I do because of last night I take it?" Draco licked the inside of his cheek "Don't you tell a soul about last night you hear me mud blood. I was drunk. You simply took advantage of me" She scoffed "Me? I recall you kissing me first and you seemed fine to me. Whatever, it was nothing right? Just a mistake" Y/n said with sadness, she was sober when it happened so for her it wasn't a mistake "Exactly..." He tilted his head "Y/n?" Hermione said from behind Draco, she walked past Draco and left with Hermione. "What did Malfoy want?" Hermione asked "Nothing, he was just there I suppose" Y/n had to lie, she didn't want Hermione to know about her feelings about Draco and how he was a death eater after hearing what Hermione said about them, she felt guilty for being around one. Y/n and Hermione got back to the school just in time for their last class. They walked into potions and everyone was already in class "You two were almost...late" Severus swished his wand toward the windows, closing the curtains "Sorry professor, dress shopping" Hermione sat down and pulled Y/n down to her chair. Draco glared at her from across the room, he looked at her through his eyebrows, still frustrated from his encounter with her earlier. He crossed his arms and leaned back into his chair, spreading his legs into a man spread, desperately wanting a reaction from her but she wasn't looking. Y/n was focused on Severus as he used the projector, she twirled her wand in her fingers and rested her chin on her palm, her face was focused and concentrated, something Draco admired. His gaze started to soften the longer he stared. Y/n started to let her mind roam free, she remembered her dream from last night, the mysterious man with the mask and green light, what could it mean? She thought. Was it a vision of some sort? She had never seen anyone like that before, it had to be a death eater, but why? Y/n walked down the corridor after class, it started to become dark out, the corridors were filled with lit lanterns and students sitting around talking and some were making out. She turned the corner and saw Draco leaning against a wall, she quickly hid behind the corner and watched him, he seemed to be battling with his thoughts, he pulled out of pice of paper and read it, he read it like he needed to take in what he was reading, he shook his head and put the paper back in his pocket. Y/n continued her walk, asking herself over and over what was on that paper to have him so flustered? then she thought if it was a letter from Pansy, trying to win him to go to the ball with her instead of Y/n, he was more interested in her in class the other day so it wouldn't surprise Y/n if he changed his mind. Y/n walked into the library, sitting down at a table to study and gather her thoughts. She was studying and someone came into view in front of her, it was Draco "Do you need something?" She snapped "Am I not aloud to use the library?" He sat across from her and she shook her head with annoyance "I read that book, it was quite boring" She looked over at the book next her that she was reading "You've read this?" He nodded "Is it that surprising?" She licked her lips "I mean its a romance, about two people forbidden to love one another" Draco stared at her and then smirked as he looked down "Yeah, I am aware of the contents in the book. As I said I had read it" He said with attitude "Right" She said as she took a deep breath as she worked. Draco was reading his book, leaned back in his chair "Draco?" He looked up "Why did you sit here?" He huffed "Because how will I bother you from across the room?" He tilted his head "You looking at me can do enough" She snapped, he scoffed "Im glad you noticed. I will keep doing that" She looked at him "You really piss me off!" She shouted "Shhh, mud blood, its a library. Even though we are the only ones here, its still disrespectful" She shook her head "You caring about being disrespectful? Since when?" She tilted her head and looked into his eyes, they just looked at each other, her heart started to beat faster, he licked his lips before slightly biting them, she looked at his lips before looking back at his eyes. She uncrossed her legs and used her foot to lift his pant leg, he leaned back and looked down at her bare legs, watching her playfully rub his leg with her foot before he slowly looked back into her eyes. Y/n bit her lip, Draco was about to lean across the table but Hermione ran into the library "Y/n there you are!" Y/n quickly pulled her leg away and Draco cleared his throat "Malfoy?" She greeted him with confusion and he just nodded at her "What's up Hermione?" Y/n asked as she tucked her hair behind her ear "There is a party in the dungeons soon, Im wondering if you want to come with me and the boys?" Y/n glanced at Draco then back at Hermione "Yeah, sure" She packed up her stuff and stood up "Will you be going Malfoy?" Hermione asked "Only if mud blood here wants me to go" He smirked "I don't want you to go, there?" Y/n said with a smile as her and Hermione walked away.
