Winning her over (Draco x reader)

Can you be friends with a Slytherin?

A/N: Don't worry about the title. Of course you can! They are the best :)

The whole carriage stopped, their faces expressionless. "Sit down." Draco said, nodding to the carriage seat opposite him. I felt like I was on egg shells as I approached the seat; everyone watched as I walked.

Yeah this was awkward.

A few minutes passed until someone spoke. "Wow Draco, you've picked the most boring Gryffindor to sit with us. What are we supposed to do, bully her?" A girl with short black hair and a screwed up facial expression said. I was pretty sure she was in my year.

Most Slytherins sniggered, including Draco who tried to avoid my annoyed gaze. She wasn't going to speak to me like that.

"Parsley, is it?" I said sarcastically, causing Draco and his friends to laugh even more, "I don't need you to speak to Draco on my behalf, I'm sitting right here."

She stared at me before stating, "It's Pansy." and turning back around to her group. Draco continued to smile, this time a more proud expression on his face.

The rest of the trip went well after everyone warmed up to me. Crabbe and Goyle continuously ran up and down the carriage finding 1st Year's and taking their food. I got along well with another 4th Year called Blaise who was actually really nice compared to the others.

While we were travelling, someone suggested playing a game involving Dares. You would be asked to complete a dare and if you didn't like it, you would have to complete another.

Smart idea.

It came to Draco suggesting a dare to me. The whole group smirked as he looked around at everyone, making sure they were all listening.

"I dare you..." He started, "To wear my Slytherin robe throughout the whole Opening Feast tonight."

"No way." I retaliated. Did he want me to get attacked by my whole house? Harry, Ron and Hermione would have a fit.

"Ok, umm, then eat ten of these trick Bertie Botts Beans. Every flavour is guaranteed bad."

I stared at him dumbfounded, he couldn't have tried to be a little bit sweet? I grabbed the box from his hands. Looks like I was going to spoil my dinner.

I rushed out of the carriage once the train had stopped; I had to beat the trio to the platform otherwise I would be getting murdered in the Gryffindor Common Room tonight.

Approaching the platform, I saw no-one was there.

Amazing.

"Hey (Y/N), fun trip without us?" Ron asked as he, Hermione and Harry exited the train. "Yeah it wasn't too bad I-"

"(Y/L/N) you didn't say goodbye. That's not how you act to your new friends." A smug voice interrupted me.

Oh no.

I closed my eyes and turned around slowly, bracing myself for whatever was about to come. Draco stood there, a massive smirk on his face, his group of followers behind him.

"You've got to be bloody joking me." Ron stated, disgust in his voice. He interrupted my thoughts of running back into the train and not coming back.

"What's there to joke about Weasley? (Y/L/N) has come to her senses and realised what sad Gryffindor friends she had. It's about time." Draco said as he walked past us.

Everyone's expressions where different: Harry's eyes were wide, Ron looked like he wasn't going to murder me in the Gryffindor Common Room but here and Hermione looked like she was going to cry.
