5.2. A Fateful Bet

A fateful bet (part 2)

(Draco x Reader)

********************************

Sitting in the Great Hall you were slowly eating your food thinking about the stupid situation you had gotten yourself into. Making a bet with Draco, really? When was that ever a good idea. This guy was so sly, of course he had achieved what he wanted. You didn't know how exactly he had done it but you were sure there was no way he had won that bet in a fair way.

You felt the bench shift as someone sat down awfully close next to you. By Merlin...didn't does wizards know what personal space was? You wanted to give the guy an angry speech when you lifted your head only to find you face to face with Draco. Draco fucking Malfoy. You knew you couldn't say anything directly disobeying him, after all breaking an agreement in the wizarding world wasn't that easy.

You were from a famous wizarding family, which was lucky for you as you were sorted into Slytherin. But apperently an infamous uncle of yours had decided to marry a muggle and have a child. So you had spent most of your summers visiting your cousin being astonished by the way they lived and everything there was to see. So if Draco had just been an ordinary guy you would have punched him right here in the face but he wasn't and you didn't wanted to find out the consequences of defying him.

He placed his hand on your upper leg and began to stroke it. You froze at his touch. what was he doing? Looking at him seriously, he flashed you a stupid grin, apperently dead set on making the next few weeks as uncomfortable as possible for you.

After you had munched down you dinner, you had quickly retreated outside into the hall. If you couldn't say anything against him you just had to avoid him. It was as simple as that.

Or not. Draco spotted you walking with his friends and came over. He put an arm around your shoulder, dragging you along with them.

"So Y/N I heard you want to go to the Yule Ball with me." Draco said.

"W-What...nooo, I never..."

"Come on don't be shy. It's perfectly normal you want to go with me, who wouldn't?"

"A few would come to mind...." You mumbled beside him.

"Perfect it's settled then."

"Since when are you two even friends?" Blaise asked while looking at the two of you.

"Oh Y/N and I are very, very good friends aren't we?"

"Sure whatever you say." You answered him with venom in your voice.

Great. Really fucking awesome. He had just managed to ruin a perfectly fine event for you completly. This years Ball was going to suck for sure.

All week Draco made you carry his books around, do his homework, and most annoying flirt with you in his creepy way. It hadn't really bothered you when he did it in front of his friends but at some point he decided it would be fun coming over when your friends were around as well. So now everyone was thinking you had a thing for that little weasel.

Avoiding him hadn't worked out either. You, after all shared the same commom room. It didn't help that he was is most of your classes, too. You were begining to get really paranoid, fearing Draco would jump out behind the next corner and try out something new, that no doubt would be damn embarrassing for you.

Evantually you snapped. Enough was enough. This had to end and you did not care what you had to do but Draco would get a taste of his own medicine. After all, two could play this game.
