Y/n's phone buzzed furiously on the table, and she glanced at it to see an alert from Gossip Girl:

"Looks like our favorite Slytherin prince has a new love interest! Who's the lucky girl? And why are they looking rather cozy together? #FakeEngagement"

Y/n rolled her eyes, scrolling through the comments with her friends at the café.

"Seriously? What's next, a wedding?" she scoffed, sipping her caramel macchiato.

Pansy snorted. "You know how they are. It's all about the drama! But I wouldn't be surprised if Draco pulled some ridiculous stunt like that."

Just then, Draco sauntered in, his signature smirk plastered across his face. He took a seat next to Y/n, raising an eyebrow at the uproar over his name trending on Gossip Girl.

"What's the fuss about?" he asked, casually flipping his hair back. "Did I finally get crowned 'Most Eligible Bachelor'?"

Y/n smirked back. "More like 'Most Likely to Fake an Engagement to Avoid His Overbearing Ex.'"

His eyes widened comically. "You'd think they'd be more original. But actually... that's not a terrible idea."

Y/n raised an eyebrow, intrigued but cautious. "What are you suggesting?"

Draco leaned in, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Let's fake an engagement. It'll get my ex off my back, and you can get some juicy gossip to throw back at your rivals."

Y/n burst out laughing. "Are you serious? You want us to pretend to be engaged? You do realize this will blow up, right?"

"Exactly! That's the point," Draco replied, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Think about it—imagine the headlines!"

After a moment of hesitation, Y/n found herself nodding, adrenaline pumping. "Fine. But if we're doing this, we're going all out. I want to see the shocked faces when they realize it's real... sort of."

Fast forward to a week later, they were both fully committed to the charade.

The scene was set at a high-profile gala in New York City, where the elite gathered, all eager to see the latest drama unfold. Y/n and Draco entered hand in hand, perfectly styled, with Y/n in a stunning dress and Draco looking dapper in a tailored suit.

"Remember, we're e engaged. And that means lots of PDA," Draco whispered, smirking at her.

"Yeah, yeah. Just try not to look too smug," she teased back.

As they mingled, the rumors began to swirl around them. Gossip Girl's message echoed in the back of their minds as they navigated through the crowd.

"Looks like Malfoy and Y/n are making their debut as the hottest couple in NYC! But how long can this charade last? #MalfoyCharms."

As the night progressed, they found themselves cornered by an inquisitive reporter. "So, tell us, how did this engagement come about?"

Draco, ever the charmer, took the lead. "Well, I couldn't resist Y/n's undeniable charm. It was love at first sight!"

Y/n fought back laughter, leaning into the moment. "And he has the most wonderful taste in jewelry," she added, showcasing a ridiculously extravagant fake engagement ring that they had picked out just for the occasion.

The reporter snapped photos, and the energy between Y/n and Draco shifted from playful to something electric. As they posed for pictures, Draco pulled Y/n closer, whispering, "I didn't expect this to feel... nice."

"I know, right? It's like we're an actual couple," she replied, her heart racing. The chemistry was undeniable, and it sent shivers down her spine.

After a whirlwind of dancing and mingling, the gala reached its peak. As Y/n and Draco found a moment to breathe, they ducked out to the balcony, overlooking the glittering skyline.

"What are we doing?" Y/n asked, looking at him seriously. "This isn't just a game anymore."

Draco took a deep breath, his demeanor shifting. "I know. But maybe... maybe I like this. Us. Whatever this is."

In a moment of vulnerability, he leaned in, brushing his lips against hers in a soft, tentative kiss. It was unexpected and electrifying, breaking through the barriers they had built.

Y/n pulled back, wide-eyed. "Draco... what are you—"

"Shh," he interrupted, a teasing smile returning. "Let's just pretend it's real for a little while longer. Who knows? Maybe we can make it last."

As they stood on the balcony, the city lights twinkling below, Y/n realized that their fake engagement had transformed into something more, something they couldn't ignore. The night was filled with laughter, chaotic drama, and the promise of a love story that neither of them saw coming.

And somewhere, Gossip Girl was watching, ready to spin their tale into the next big scandal.
