Slytherins Heir [Draco X Reader] - Year Five

Chapter thirty two - Hermiones Plan

Y/n pov

At the end of class, you hurried to run off but the pureblood was following you.

"Y/n please wait." Draco called out but you just kept walking. You knew you had class together so you decided to skip.

"Shouldn't you be getting to class?" You asked him feeling him follow you in the wrong direction.

"Shouldn't you? We have care of magical creatures."  Draco remined you.

"I'm skipping." You said shortly.

"Well then so am I." Draco told you.

"Piss off Draco." You growled.

"Y/n please." Draco begged.

"No!" You shout turning to him red in the face. "You think you get a choice when You get to talk to me, you ignore me hang out with people like Montague, and then think you have any say in what I do?" You asked him.

"Please, you don't have to talk, just please listen to me." Draco pleaded.

"You have sixty seconds starting now and then I'm walking away." You told him.

"Listen... Montague is a jerk. I'm a jerk, I get that, I mean I'm rude and rich and pureblood and I get in peoples faces for the wrong reasons, I just want to be around you, I want you in my life. I care about all the things you do. The way you'll stay up late making potions, or speak up for what you believe in right in front of the class, you always put your friends first." He Paused and took a deep breath. "And what Montague did was wrong, I promise that I know that-"

"What Montague was doing was wrong but you stood by. You just watched and didn't bother helping me." You stated harshly.

"I wanted to; I really did." He told you.

"I'm sure." You said rolling your eyes. "I'm not, but if I were sleeping with Weasley I'd do it a thousand times again before I ever touched Montague." You said staring him down.

"I know I didn't help... I was just scared." Draco started but you lashed out.

"YOU were scared!?" You gasped. "I was cornered by him."

"I know... and I was being a coward." He told you.

"You are a coward." You growled looking at him. He looked honest and sad.

"Just I want to do better." He told you, his voice full off remorse.

"Then prove it to me." You told him.

"I will." You turned to leave and he grabbed your hand you didn't turn around you just closed your eyes.

"Y/n please. I... I'm scared." He muttered.

"Scared of what?" You asked facing him. "Rejection from your friends, family, me? Because sometimes you need one to keep the other." You said in reference to Montague.

"Montague isn't my friend." Draco promised. Letting go of your hand gently.

"Well you seem really buddy-buddy." You told him.

"Can I just get another chance?" He asked you. You paused. You just couldn't say no to him, could you?

"You have one more chance." You sighed. He thanked you and you looked at the time. "We're already so late for class." You laughed.

"I thought we were skipping." Draco laughed.

"We are... I just have no idea where." You told him.

"Do you want to go to the astronomy tower?" He asked.

"Can I trust you?"

"Yes." You smiled at him.
