5.4. A Fateful Bet

A fateful bet (part 4)

(Draco x Reader)

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

Your tactic had actaully worked. Draco hadn't bothered you for a few days now and you thought maybe, just maybe he had forgotten about the yule ball as well.

Your dreams were crushed however when Draco caught you after class.

"So you're ready for tonight?" He said with his evil smirk. No, no I'm not ready. Not at all.

"Can I say no to your kind invitation to accompany me?"

"No."

"I'm ready then."

You were in your room getting dressed for the ball. Someone was knocking at your door very loudly. You walked over and opened it furiously. You weren't in a particular good mood, having to go to the ball with Draco.

"Well, speak of the devil and he shall appear.." You mumbled more to yourself than Draco. He was looking you up and down with curiosity.

"Uh, can we go or aren't you finished yet..?" He started, "...You look nice." He continued a bit embarrassed.

You raised an eyebrow at him. Draco making a compliment, that was new. If he wasn't such a dick all the time maybe I could actually like him.

"Thanks, let's go."

Entering the great hall you saw the decorations that had been put in place. Snow was coming form the ceiling and everything was lit in a pleasant dim light. Not too bright or dark. Music was playing and people were dancing already. You fetched yourself a drink and made your way to a table with Darco.

"Do you want to dance..?" He asked suddenly.

Well, your bet would be over tomorrow so why not have a bit fun. It was the yule ball after all and even if Draco had practicly forced you to go with him you could still enjoy it.

"Sure why not?"

You went to join the others. Draco took your hand in his and rested the other on your hip. They played a slow tune and to your surprise he actually was a good dancer. Probably one of the things you had to learn as a Malfoy, you thought.

"Can I ask you something?" He whispered into your ear.

"You just did but please go on." You answered sarcastically.

"Do you really dislike me that much?"

That question took you by surprise. You had expected something stupid like 'I''m sure your happy you lost our bet aren't you' or 'why are you staring at me.' Because that was what you had been doing the whole time you realised just now. Staring at him.

"Uhm, well.... you have quite the talent of making me dislike you or everyone else for that matter."

"So you like me?"

"I didn't say that." You rolled your eyes at him, "You do realise you're a jerk, right?"

"Hhm guess then it wouldn't surprise you if I did something stupid." He said while bringing his hand behind your back and pulling you closer. You didn't understand what he was doing until it was too late. He crashed his lips into yours, capturing you in a kiss. You didn't resist at first, it felt nice and he had caught you off guard. Your heart started to beat faster and your head began to feel dizzy.

Snapping out of your trance, you got rid of his hand and slapped him across the face. He looked stunned for a moment. You ran out of the hall, making your way back to the dungeons. Your heart was still beating like crazy and you didn't know what you were feeling exactly.

"Y/N, wait up!" Draco called behind you. You stopped and spun around to face him. "That was uncalled for you know." He said.

"Your face is uncalled for!" You yelled at him.

"How mature, really."

"Fuck you." You said before vanishing into the dark halls.
