Y/n's POV:

Finally, done with dinner. Now to deal with this 'Draco liking a mysterious girl's situation.. also, why would Hermione get me out of the questions Ginny was asking me? Did she hear my conversation with Malfoy? More importantly did she hear me say that I love Harry?!

"We need to do something about this girl's attention span. One minute we're talking about something, the other moment she wonders off into imaginary land!" Ron said, looking annoyed.

Harry laughs.

"I think it's cute. Kind of like Luna!" Harry says.

"Who's Luna?" I say.

"Oh, just another one of our friends", Harry replies, smiling.

"Nothing more than friends?" I say.. I'm damn curious about this Luna girl now. Before it was Cho, now it's Luna?

"No! Why would you think that? Luna is one of our very close friends, she's in Ravenclaw though, but she understands me the best", Harry says.

I let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay. I was just curious!" I say.

"Pssst! Y/n!" A voice says coming from the Slytherin table... Malfoy.

"What?" I reply.

"Shove off, Malfoy. She doesn't want to talk to you", Ron says.

"I never asked you, Weaslebee! Y/n, can we meet in the library after dinner?" Draco asks, looking at me

"Er, yeah sure." I say, turning back to our table. Why would he want to meet me in the library? He's doing good in DA so far, plus it's a Friday!

"So? Why would you want to meet Malfoy on a Friday night? ALONE?" Ron asks me.

"Relax, Ronald. I'm sure he's just having some trouble with DA! Why else would Y/n meet him?" Hermione says.
"Er, Y/n? Can you come with me for a second?" She asks me.

"Yeah sure!" I reply.

"Okay." She grabs my hand we run to the girl's restroom.

"WHAT THE ABSOLUTE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

"What?? What did I do?!" I say, looking worried.

"Why does Malfoy like you?!" She says, trying to relax.

"HOW?!-"

"Y/n, I was passing by to check on you! Then I realised that you were with him?!"

"Its not my fault, Hermione! I can't help it if he likes me! I don't know how to tell him I don't, so please I don't have time for this lecture, I know what I'm doing".

"Oh right. Because you like Harry."

My eyes widened.

"How do you know?"

"First of all, its way you look at him. Second of all, why him?! I mean, I'm happy it isn't Malfoy, but I don't want your heart to be broken because I'm sure he likes Cho! He wants to take her to the ball for Merlin's sake!"

"I KNOW, HERMIONE. And I'm trying my best not to get my own heart broken while trying not to get Malfoy's heart broken too."

"Please tell me you know what you're doing"

"I do. Promise me you'll be there for me if anything happens".

"I will, I always will. But wait, how will you tell Malfoy?"

"I'm not sure. But I think I'm going to go to The Ball with him..."

"HUH? WHY WOU-"

"SHHHHHH! I don't have anyone else, and I absolutely cannot go alone. Plus, atleast he likes me!"

"Okay you do have a point there, BUT Y/N! RONALD WILL BE FURIOUS!"

"I KNOW! I'll risk it. My heart won't get broken that way."

"Fine. I know what you're doing is wrong, but at the same time I know that you know what you're doing is wrong".

I took a second to process those words.

"Yes." I finally say.

She laughs.

"I think Malfoy's waiting for you?"

"Oh yeah! You coming?"

"No thanks, wouldn't want to spoil your moment with him. Just be careful."

"I will Hermione. AND DONT YOU DARE TELL HARRY ABOUT ANYTHING WE TALKED ABOUT!" I say before running off.

I run to the library to find Draco waiting there for me.

"Y/n?" He says, seriously.

"Hey! Why can't you take a breath Draco? You look tensed!" I reply, smiling while I sit down.

"Yeah.. uhm actually, I wanted to ask you if you would like to go to The Yule Ball with me?"

"Wait what?"

He nods.

"I thought you only saw me as a friend?"

"I do. Its just that... I like you, Y/n. Those damn Hufflepuffs gave it away."

I laugh.

"I don't know what to say."

"Yes?" He says, looking desperate. "And I know you like Potter, but can we just give it a try?"

Damn, he looks really interested in me..?

"Am I not just a Weaslebee to you?" I say, giggling. "You're right, Malfoy, I do like Harry. But I don't think we have a chance. So yeah, maybe we should give it a try" I say. Oh Merlin, why did that sound so wrong? There's something inside of me thats screaming, no. But I can't afford to be broken inside forever.

"WHAT? YOU ACTUALLY AGREE?"

"Yeah."

"Splendid! So you are coming to The Ball with me, right?"

"I am, you idiot", I say.

"Awesome! I can't believe that went so well! I can officially say that we're together now"

"Mhm" I say. It doesn't sound right..

"Let's go then?" He asks me.

"Yeah", he grabs my hand and we walk into The Great Hall once again.

I sit down at the table.

"What did he say?" Fred asks.

"He asked me if, er.. I could help him in Astronomy and I agreed.." I said, looking down.

Hermione's eyes widen.

"WHAT? YOU AGREED?!" She says. "Are you sure you want to do this?!"

"I think so.." I reply.

"We're still talking about Astronomy right?" Harry asks.

"Yeah.. I wish I could tell you", I murmur.

"You seem a bit off, Y/n. Are you okay?" Harry asks me.

"Of course.. I love you, Harry" I murmur once again.

"Sorry? I didn't quite catch that" he says.

"Er.. it's nothing, nevermind", I reply.

"So we're done so fast?" Ron asks.

"Yeah! Back to the common room!" Hermione says.

She mouths, we need to talk. I nod.
