Training for the ballet? (Draco Malfoy x reader)

Chapter 7

It had just been a couple of days since my encounter with Draco but my racing thoughts never left me alone. I stared at Zabini as he walked down the corridor with Pansy and raised an eyebrow at the look he gave me. That was the first interaction I had had with him since he broke my wand. I tilted my head ever so slightly and narrowed my eyes at him.

Now he wants to talk. I scoffed at him.

I saw him and Pansy parting ways a little ahead of me so I followed Blaise until he stopped just outside the castle walls and turned around to face me.

"What did you do to Draco?" He asked in a nonchalant way.

"What do you mean?" I replied coldly.

He studied my facial expression carefully before replying.

"Draco hasn't talked to me in a while, granted he still makes his usual comments and he's usually his old cocky self in public, but alone.. I mean he hasn't talked to me. On a serious note. It's like he's avoiding me and anyone else who wants to know what he's thinking about nowadays." He said puzzled and looked at me eagerly for a response.

"Listen, dick, I don't know why the hell Draco doesn't want to speak with you, maybe he just wants to keep certain things private and doesn't want to talk about specific things. Try having a small talk with him instead. He probably isn't avoiding you or anyone else, just the subjects of some conversations." I looked at Blaise coldly before scoffing and taking a step backwards to start turning around and walk away.

Zabini rolled his eyes but when he noticed me leaving he held up his hand in an effort to stop me.

"Hold on (y/n)"

I stopped and studied him. 

"What do you want Zabini?"

"I want us to go back to how it was before the incident with Malfoy" he said quietly.

I scoffed at him.

"Well you've got a bloody brilliant way of showing it you ass" I responded annoyingly.

"Listen, I'm sorry for treating you like I've done this past month and I should've talked to you sooner, or even now I shouldn't have brought up Draco I should've just talked to you." He looked at me and sighed.

"So why didn't you? Why haven't you talked to me?" I stared at him, showing no emotions whatsoever.

"I was scared. Okay? Everyone was scared of you. But you're my best friend and I can't believe I've beens such a jerk to you. Thinking you'd ever hurt me."

I raised my eyebrows at him.

"You avoided me at all costs because you thought I was going to kill you..?" I asked with a tremble in my voice.

Blaise looked away and I took his silence as an answer to my question.

"I'm sorry (y/n). I really am."

I nodded at him and saw him approaching me. Before I could blink he had put his arms around me and was hugging me tightly. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around him.

"I missed you so much Blaise" I said as a tear escaped my right eye.

I could feel him nodding in approval. He had missed me too. I smiled to myself. I finally had my best friend back.

Five days later

Malfoy walked down the corridor with Blaise and stopped when he saw me sitting on the floor reading the potions book. I looked up at them and could see Blaise smiling at me. I guess Draco was back to his normal self, talking to everyone about things again. Draco nodded towards Blaise and he left us alone.
