Mud-Blood

16

Y/n had tried to avoid Draco as much as she could, she felt nervous knowing she would have to cross paths with him eventually, for the whole morning she had butterflies in her stomach, knowing they would explode out of her stomach the moment she saw him. She walked into potions and sat next to Hermione "You weren't at breakfast?" Hermione said "Wasn't hungry, had a big supper" She said as she put her bag on the table "I didn't see you eat much last night?" Hermione corrected her and Y/n just huffed "Are you not feeling well? You seem pale" Y/n put her hand on her arm "Im okay Hermione" She nodded with a smile and Hermione did the same. Severus started to put people in pairs of two for an assignment that would take the two 3 days to complete, they needed to do a research assignment about the progression of potion making over the centuries, it seemed easy but it all depended who her partner would be, if she got Hermione she knew they would have it done by the end of the day. Y/n and Hermione still hadn't been partnered up with someone else she was hoping Severus would just pair them. Draco walked into the class, late, very late of course "Just in time Malfoy, you will be partnered with Y/n" He said. Hermione and Y/n looked at each other "Professor, is there someone else I could be with?" Y/n asked and Draco looked at her, rolling his eyes "Wouldn't you want to work with a fellow house member?" Y/n and Draco both shook their head no "That is unfortunate for the both of you, there will be no complaining. I put you both together because you both have the same skill, it only makes sense" Draco scoffed, Y/n shot her head toward him "That is an insult Professor" Draco said as he looked at Y/n and she clenched her jaw "Get going, both of you" Severus handed them both the assignment, including the book they would need to share for their research. Hermione was paired with Harry, at least they got each other and not some scum Malfoy. Y/n and Draco sat down at one of the tables in the classroom, she could see Harry and Hermione across from her, they were sitting on the floor. Y/n was filled with anxiety and frustration, she wanted to keep her distance because of last night, a part of her still couldn't believe they did that, that he did that. Draco seemed unfazed by it all, he sat next to her, reading the assignment like he didn't just have his fingers between his enemies thighs. She discreetly looked at him, he turned the pages with those exact two fingers he used, he slowly ran them down the paper like he knew she was watching. She quickly looked away and took a deep breath. "I expect you all to be working on this after classes as well, there shall be no exceptions for unfinished work" Severus said as he sat at his desk, Y/n huffed again, she had to deal with him enough as it is, now she needed to work alone with him. She told herself she wouldn't cave into any of his temptations. Y/n started to read the book to take notes "So, I suppose you want to do it all?" Draco snapped "What?" She looked at him "You are hogging the book mud blood" She huffed and put the book on the table between them. Draco and Y/n both read the book, their heads almost touching from having to hover over the book, Y/n could smell his cologne, it was quite distracting, she hoped he couldn't hear her taking deep breaths to savour his scent. Y/n looked up at him without moving her head from the book, she stared at his face, he looked focused, actually intrigued fro once to do work, he seemed to always pass everything without handing in a single assignment, how could he be so smart? It really did feel like an insult for Severus to say they had the same skills, he was useless, he she didn't even remember the last time he picked up a quill. Y/n looked back down at the book after staring for what felt like a long minute. Draco's eyes looked up at her and a small smirk curled on his lips before looking back down.

Draco:

Y/n was deep in writing her notes down, she seemed focused as always, she really tried to be the best student, her and that mud blood Granger always were the teachers pets. It was quite pathetic seeing Y/n so determined to prove she was smart, in his opinion she was smart without trying. Draco looked down next to them and he didn't realize how close their chairs were together, they were almost touching, Draco looked back at the book, he used his one hand to rest his cheek as he read, the other hand dropped down between the tiny sliver between their chairs. His hand dangled there below her knee, his fingers hitched slowly toward her skin, he felt his finger tips land on her cold skin, he trailed his fingers up to her knee before slowly cupping her kneecap in his hand, his finger making small circles, he could hear her breathing quicken as she skin grew goosebumps. Draco didn't even care that they were in a classroom with others, the potions classroom was dark, it would be impossible to see. His hand travelled a little higher to her mid thigh, she squirmed in his seat, making Draco smirk to her reaction. As he was about to go higher she stood up, Draco pulled his hand away and straightened his posture. Y/n stormed up to Severus then she started to walked toward the door, she looked in his direction and rolled her eyes before leaving.

Y/n:

She stormed into the lavatory, she walked up to the sink and tried to regulate her breathing, why did he get to her so much? Why did he want to get to her so much? She told herself she wouldn't give into his disgusting temptations, but he made it so hard. Its not like she liked it, or liked him, she didn't, she just couldn't like him, he was cruel and had deep hatred for who she was. Then why did she kiss him? let him dance with her? let his lips touch her neck? even let his fingers explore her inside. Y/n splashed some water on her face, she dreaded the fact she and to go back and sit next to him "If he touches me again I will slap him" She said to herself in the mirror before walking back to class. She sat back down next to him "You better have washed your hands mud blood" She took a deep breath and looked at him "And you should keep your hands to yourself~" She whispered, he raised his eyebrow "By the way you sounded I don't think you mind, do you mud blood?~" He leaned in and whispered "You are pathetic Malfoy, just knock it off okay?" He leaned back in his chair and smirked to himself. "Alright, that is the end of class" Y/n quickly packed up her things and bumped into Draco on purpose as she left. Y/n sped down the corridor "Y/n wait up!" She stopped and turned around, Hermione, Ron and Harry walked up to her "Sorry I didn't wait for you guys" Hermione giggled "I would be in a blur as well if my partner was Malfoy" She said "Yeah, its a pain and its just the first day" Y/n looked behind them and saw Draco walking out of the classroom, he stopped and looked at Y/n, smirked and walked away.
