Our Bumpy Road (Albus Potter x Reader)

Ch. 7: The Unwanted Kiss

You were walking to the Slytherin common room to go hang out with Al and Scorpius. Rose was there too since she didn't wait for you.

The corridors were eerily quiet even though it wasn't curfew yet. You walked down one of the hall ways that had no one in it when you heard your name being called from behind you.

"Y/n! Wait up!"

You turned around and saw Max walking towards you. You smiled at him and he fell into step with you.

"What are you doing here?" You asked him.

"Well, I go to school here." He replied playfully.

"You know what I mean." You say.

"I was going to ask Professor Slughorn something about the homework." He said.

Professor Slughorn still taught at Hogwarts even though he was a million years old. He stopped the "Slug Club" after the Battle of Hogwarts but still liked to "collect" various people. His class was next to the entrance to the Slytherin common room so Max's reason was valid.

You realized you had zoned off and apologized for it.

"Sorry, I kind of zoned out for a second there."

"No worries." He replied.

Max then grabbed your arms and faced you looking directly into your eyes. Your faces were only inches away but you were frozen in the spot.

"Y/n, I've been wanting to do this ever since you spotted me in the hall." You were silent so he continued, "I had to wait until we were alone so now seems like the best time to do it."

He then started leaning in to you but you were still frozen. Your lips connected and your brain was paralyzed. This wasn't your first kiss but you didn't want to kiss him. He started kissing you but you were unresponsive. This was the guy that you spoke no more than five words to in muggle school, and he was suddenly kissing you?!

He pulled away and growled harshly, "Kiss me back It you'll regret it."

You looked into his eyes before running down the hall. You ran as fast as you could, which was pretty fast, and made your way over to where Rose, Scorpius, and Al were sitting in the common room. Tears were brimming your eyes and when Rose asked you what was wrong you couldn't hold them in any more.

You broke down right there sobbing uncontrollably. Al made his way over to you and you wrapped your arms around his neck and cried into his shoulder. You were making his shirt wet but he didn't seem to mind and that was the least of your worries right now.

When you calmed down and stopped crying you still didn't let go of his neck and instead buried you head into his shoulder. He smelled of fresh laundry and peppermint which was a weird combination but you loved it.

You both made your way back to the couch, you were still latched on to him. He started rubbing your back since you started crying again.

~Albus POV~

Having Y/n's arms around my neck was one of the most pleasant and surreal things I could dream about. She was obviously in shock about something but that didn't mean I couldn't enjoy this moment.

Rose and Scorpius looked at me with worry in their eyes and I returned the look. Y/n eventually calmed down again and looked up at me. Her eyes were red and puffy but she couldn't look more beautiful if she tried.

"I'm sorry about your shirt." She said barely audible, it was softer than a whisper.

"It's okay." I whisper back, playing with a strand of her hair.

"What happened Y/n?" Scorpius asked very worried.

"Well.. I- I was coming here when.." She trailed off.

"When what?" Rose asked with sympathy in her voice.

"When Max came up to me and... Well he-he kimglrm."

"He what?" I asked her softly.

"Kissed me and threatened me." She repeated so soft only I could hear her since her arms were still around my neck.

"He what?!" I asked outraged.

"What did he do?" Rose asked worried.

"He came up to Y/n and kissed her! And then he threatened her!" I repeated to them.

Scorpius also looked outraged and Rose was unreadable. You could never know what Rose was thinking.

Scorpius stood up and stormed out of the common room, probably to find Max. I would've like to join him but Y/n needed me. Rose took off after him to stop him from doing anything stupid.

"Sorry." She said before stepping out of the room.

~Your POV~

Rose and Scorpius both left the room, though with different intentions. Although, to be honest you couldn't care less. Al had stayed with you and that's all you needed.

"Thanks for staying with me." You whispered.

"Anything for you." He responded whispering.

You looked up at him again, your arms still wrapped around his neck.

Your eyes locked but you kept looking at his lips, him doing the same thing. Before you could process it you were both leaning in. Your faces were nearly inches apart when you hear,

"I'M BACK B*TCHES!!!"
