Bet | Draco Malfoy Fanfic🍏 [Completed]

Library

Krystal's POV

"Krystal! Wake up! We're going to be late", a Ravenclaw exclaimed. I opened my eyes feeling groggy. "What time is it?" My voice came out raspy. "It's late. You better get ready quickly if you don't want to be late", she said. I mumbled an 'ok' and got ready.

"What's our first period again, Luna?" I asked her as we're walking to the hallways. "Herbology", she told me. "With the Slytherins", she added. I grumbled. Seeing Draco after what happened last night wasn't really ideal if you ask me.

We entered the greenhouse and were the last one to. "Ok, since we're all here let's start! But first, shall we start with a little trivia for all of you?" She asked. I nodded. I've been reading a lot of herbology.

She asked us questions and whenever Draco raises his hand, he'd get the answer wrong, making everyone laugh. Instead, I'd be the one to answer his questions right. I could tell he was embarrassed. I snickered.

He walked next to me. "You love to embarrass me don't you?" He asked with a frown. "I can't help that I'm a Ravenclaw", I told him with a huge smirk. "After this is actually a free period for both of our houses. How are you gonna spend it?" He asked. "Library", I said without hesitation. "Need to catch up on Potions. After what we did last time, I think it'd be smart to read and study to please Snape again", I laughed. "You sound like Granger", he told me. I rolled my eyes.

We both walked to the library. I took out books and starting reading silently. Draco looked at me boredly. "You're not gonna read anything?" I asked. "Nope", he said. "Then why'd you follow me?" I asked again. "Incase you get bored in this place", he told me. I scoffed.

I took my eyes away from the book and saw Hermione approaching us. I smiled brightly. "Hey, Hermione!" I said. "Hi", she smiled back. Her smile didn't last long as she saw Draco. "What are you doing with...him?!" She whispered a little too loudly. "I can hear you, Granger", he scowled. "Are you two even friends? Or do you like him in that way? I mean seriously you barely hang with us anymore, Krystal. You've been sticking around with...him", she said bluntly as if she saw a cockroach. "We're friends. And of course I don't like him. We'll be friends and only be friends. That is if he annoys me again", I said. Hermione nodded. "I'll go grab a book then and leave you alone", she told me. She left.

Draco looked awfully disappointed. His face looked miserable. Was it what I said? Because he was fine earlier. I was concerned and curious.

"Are you ok?" I asked. "Yeah", his voice sounded quite sad. "You sure?" I asked. "Yeah", he replied again. "You're bothering me", I told him. "You want me to leave?" He asked. "No. Not that. You seem I don't know, down? And it's bothering me. Are you're 100% sure you're fine?" I asked for the third time. "Why do you care?" He said, sounding a little angry. I was slightly offended. But I thought of the question myself. Why did I care? He's no one to me. Only Draco Malfoy, the guy who I hate. And did I just claim he's my friend?! My god.

"B-because you're my friend?" I said. He stayed silent. It didn't help when Harry, too, came to the library and approached me. "Oh hey, Krystal", Harry smiled. I couldn't help but smile back. Despite everything, I still couldn't deny that I liked him. A lot.

He and I started to have a happy conversation and Draco looked pissed that he ended up barging out of the library. I looked at him with furrowed eyebrows. "Harry, I'll catch you later, ok? We'll talk during lunch", I said. With that, I ran off to Draco. Finally side by side to him, I spoke. "Hey, what was that? Why'd you leave?" I asked. "Because you were clearly ignoring me and I decided not to interrupt your nice time with your crush", Draco said, not even looking at me at all. "Hey! Don't say that too loud. And I'm sorry, ok? I mean it's not my fault you wanted to follow me", I said.

He showed a small smiled. "You're the one following me now, huh?" He asked. I realized he was heading for the boys' bathroom and I was about to enter it. I gasped in surprise. I didn't even realize. Draco chuckled. "I'll leave you now", I stuttered before running away. That was embarrassing. But at least he laughed? What was wrong with me again? I'm caring for Draco Malfoy and is happy that he's chuckling? What the fuck.

Draco's POV

It was lunchtime.

"Man, you really love hanging out with that Ravenclaw don't you? I know you're waiting for her to come", a Slytherin said. I gave him a glare. "It's basically your hobby to stare at her eat from a distance", he added. I shot him another glare, more solid and he finally shut up.

I got pissed when I saw that Krystal came in the great hall with, out of all people, Potter. I gave out a complaining groan as I looked at them. They were talking to each other and seem so absorbed in their conversation. They were smiling so happily. She was blushing. Potter hasn't been hanging out with Cho anymore. I'm pretty sure whatever happened between them was over. He was looking at Krystal in that way. I straight up hated it. I could see how he looks at her. Has he moved on from her and like Krystal now?! I didn't know what they were talking about but it made my blood boil.

But my biggest concern wasn't them. But it was my feelings about them. Why did I hate it so much? Why did it bother me so much? Have I grown a liking toward Krystal? Am I getting jealous? I tried to brush off the thoughts but they were still there. I couldn't help but feel anxious. Did I really like Krystal in that way?

She didn't even glance at me at all during lunch. She usually glance at me once or twice but this time she was just happily eating her food and smiling and laughing with her friends. "Makes me sick", I said. "What? Her and Potter?" Goyle asked. "Of course it is", Blaise said. "Shut up. All of you", I told them. I was already in a bad mood I didn't want to hear their annoying voices.

As I walked the halls after lunch I couldn't help but feel the need to know if there's something going on with Krystal and Harry. I asked some of Krystal's friends (who also knew all the gossip around Hogwarts) who were not in her house.

I approached Felicia, Sherlyn and Chalisa. I was surprised they were still hanging out since that fight of theirs with that Diggory Hufflepuff.

"Hey I wanna ask you guys something", I told them. They seemed taken aback. "Uhm...ok? What do you want?" Sherlyn asked. "Is there something going on between Krystal and Harry? And between him and Cho...is that over?" I asked. I normally don't ask about these kind of stuff but my feelings just lead me to it. They laughed. "You really don't know anything, huh?" Felicia teased. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever happened with Cho and Harry was over now. And Harry has moved on. Pretty sure sure he fancies Krystal. I won't be surprised if they'd be dating. But they're not. At least not yet", Chalisa said. "So they're not dating right?" I asked. "Yet", Sherlyn added. I groaned at that word. "Why you ask, Malfoy?" Chalisa asked. "Don't you know? He has a crush on her. It's obvious. Thought I know he won't admit it to himself even", Felicia said. "I-I don't like her", I said. "Yet", Sherlyn said again with a wink. They then walked passed me. Krystal saw me and walked to me.

"Why were you with them?" She chuckled. "Nothing important", I said. She ruffled my hair. "You've been so sappy lately. I don't understand you", she giggled. I smiled at her laugh. We started talking and then I remembered that I needed to read through my History book. Though, I didn't know where it was and didn't feel like searching for it. "Krystal? Can I borrow your history book? I'll need to read it today. Don't know where mine is", I told her. "Sure", she said handing me over her history book. "Thanks".

"By the way, have you been preparing for the Quidditch match? It's only 2 more days", I asked. Both me and Krystal are the seekers of our houses for Quidditch. And Slytherin is going up against Ravenclaw. "Been working hard. I'm ready to kick your ass, Malfoy", she grinned. "Well you can try. You better be ready for my wrath of winning streaks", I proudly said. "Over my fucking dead body".
