Twisted Fate - Draco Malfoy x fem reader

Chapter 22

Y/n's POV:

" What dress are you thinking for the Yule Ball, Y/n?" Hermione asked curiously, the beauty within her smile making Ron gaze at her with love-struck eyes. Y/n hummed in thought,
" Probably F/C, it's the colour of my family's royal crest," Y/n responded. Hermione nodded,
" Have you been asked to the ball yet?" Y/n shook her head, glancing up at Harry, who was eyeing Ginny down from afar.

Y/n noticed the action and smiled, knowing that he was falling for someone else. If Y/n did like him it would be considered cheating, but she didn't, she liked Malfoy. So the action made her happy, glad that he was finding someone who liked him back.

////////————-////////

The Yule Ball was just around the corner. Ron asked Hermione, Harry asked Ginny, Matron asked Luna and Neville asked Feronica. And then there was Y/n, who hasn't been asked at all. Riaz has been asked by a girl he likes. A girl with dark brown hair and tanned skin. Her name is Camilla.

Despite not being asked, Y/n had turned down plenty of boys in the year group, only wanting one specific person to ask her, but he hasn't come. On the night of the ball, Y/n's dress was ethereal and complimented her beauty. It was
F/C and made her curves and beauty stand out a lot better. Y/n's hair had been done to a cute style.

Hermione gasped when she saw her, grinning,
" You look perfect! You're so pretty I'm jealous,"

Y/n chuckled a little, thanking her with a
smile. Hermione was wearing a simple but beautiful dress. It was a pink shade that faded to another colour - the shade of blue. Her hair was curled and up in a cute bun and she had lip gloss on. " You look beautiful too! Now let's go before we're late," Y/n giggled.

They both talked to each other on the way and froze a little when they were at the top of the concrete staircase in front of everyone's view.
Y/n slowly went down them towards Harry and Ron, Hermione following shortly behind. People whispered amongst themselves at how pretty they both looked. Ron was almost passing out from how flustered he was when he saw Hermione. The boy really has fallen hard for her.
" Bloody hell," Was all he could mutter.

Y/n smiled at them, glad that her friends were getting along quite well in their new relationship.
Harry looked at her dress then back at her,
" You look beautiful, Y/n," Y/n chuckled and thanked him, returning the compliment. Yet her gaze was focused on Draco from afar.

Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him. He was wearing a loose, white button up shirt with long sleeves and black pants. Almost like a suit just without the blazer. His shaggy, platinum blonde hair was neatly dealt with and he couldn't look more attractive. Her cheeks warmed up from just looking at him in pure awe. He was leant against the wall with his arms crossed before meeting her gaze.

A large wave of butterflies overwhelmed her stomach when they made direct eye contact. She kept telling herself in her mind to look away, but her body didn't listen, it was to mesmerised by his stare. Finally, Y/n managed to look away.

Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny walked away towards Fred and George a few feet away, leaving her alone. Y/n stood there awkwardly, since they seemed to forget about her presence. The moment hurt, she would be lying if she said she didn't. Because in the end, she wasn't a human, she was Fae. The beings that have been at war with humans since history was written. Her eyebrows were furrowed and walked away, and they didn't even notice that.

" Alone?" The familiar voice spoke from behind her, making her heart flutter in a way she has never felt before. Y/n turned around, her E/C coloured gaze meeting his grey ones. Draco seemed to notice the situation she was in, and he didn't admit it, but he knew what it feels like at times. To feel like the friends don't want you around and decide to ignore you. To feel like an outcast. He feels that all the time.

Y/n just nodded, the pain in her eyes easy to see,
" Yeah, it seems they have other plans," The doors of the Yule Ball opened, meaning everyone and their date was ready to walk in. The only problem was that she didn't have one. Draco looked around, confused, " Do you not have a date?" Y/n shook her head, watching as her friends walked into the Yule Ball room with their dates.

He let out a heavy sigh, " I'll do this one time, Fae-girl," He outstretched his hand towards her for her to take, her eyes widening slightly in surprise, " Be my date? " Y/n couldn't help but smile, her heart was overwhelmed with joy and nerves that made her heart rate increase and pound drastically. Y/n took his hand, her warm one interlocking with his cold ones.

He led her into the ball room, side by side, and the students whispered amongst each other about the unexpected pair between them both. However, in that moment, she didn't seem to care because frankly, all she cared about was Draco being beside her. He didn't have to do this. He could have just left her on her own and walked away, but he didn't. Draco truly did have a good heart, and that was one of the many things she loved him for.

Draco had a good heart, she just wished he would give himself more credit and realise that, along with everyone else.
