We Belong Together || Draco Malfoy X Reader

2| We're Not Friends

Y/N POV

The train had reached its destination and people started walking out of it. A huge man was giving us direction about how we're gonna use boats to go to the castle.

I was in the same boat as Malfoy. He kind of looked excited about it, but I could see how hard he was trying to hide it. I paid no attention to other people in the same boat as mine until we reached the castle.

Magnificent? No, I believe I had seen better somewhere.

•••

We were currently standing on the stairs near the great hall. Some kind of female professor had a little speech earlier and told us to wait here for a moment before entering the hall.

"It's true then, what they're saying on the train," Malfoy suddenly spoke quite loud that every first-year could hear.

"Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts," he exclaimed. Now this place was filled with whispers of shock.

"This is Crabbe, Goyle, and...Richards," he said as he pulled my arm to stand closer with him and his weird friends. Then people started whispering about my family name. Ugh, this boy was really annoying. I shook my hand off of him and rolled my eyes.

"And I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy," he said proudly but a redhead boy snickered after hearing that.

"Think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask yours. Red hair and a hand me down robe, you must be a Weasley," he said, mocking the Weasley.

"Well, soon find that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter. Don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there," he extended his hand.

Poor mini Malfoy got rejected for a handshake for the second time. Potter really did a good job of embarrassing Malfoy in front of the first years. Malfoy shot him a glare before McGonagall returned and told him to go back to his place.

"Now I know that I hate him, we must not be friends with him," Malfoy blurted walking beside me as we entered the great hall.

"You do know that we're not friends, right?" I replied.

"I say we will be friends sooner or later," he smirked. I have enough of that silly smirk of his, so I walked faster just to avoid him talking to me.

McGonagall told us that we have to be sorted into our house before we can enjoy the feast. I looked around the first-year students, that was quite a lot of them. This would probably take some times. Too bad, I had been starving since I got off the train.

"Draco Malfoy," the professor called then Malfoy walked to the sorting hat.

"Slytherin," it yelled even when it hadn't touched Malfoy's head yet. Oh, now I wondered if that head was being valid on his job.

A few names had been called It was still a long wait for me though. That Potter guy had been sorted to Gryffindor. I looked at each house's table. Just when I look at the Slytherin, I found Malfoy staring at me again.

Now I just wished to not get in Slytherin to avoid the annoying Malfoy and also not Gryffindor to avoid Potter because he would surely become the centre of all attention. I had actually heard a lot about the Hogwarts' houses. I really hoped to get into Hufflepuff because I could see peace in there which I planned to have in all seven years here. Ravenclaw looked pretty dope too, too bad I wasn't a smartass.

"Y/N Richards."

"Here goes nothing," I muttered.

I walked forward not interested in this little house sorting ritual. The professor put the sorting hat on my head.

"What an honour to have a Richards," it said. Fun fact, my family was known to be a very wealthy pure-blood family. We got certain power from our status which made most people respect us. I didn't know how we get so high in the rank, but not gonna lie, it was quite beneficial.

"Just tell me to go to Hufflepuff already," I whispered.

"Hm... Slytherin!" He yelled in betrayal and I got great applause from the Slytherin table.

"I'm so gonna destroy you, just wait and see," I hissed at the sorting hat while walking away to the Slytherin table.

Malfoy was smiling at me as he watched me walking closer. He somehow managed to get the person who sat next to him moved away just for me to sit beside him. Who did he think he was, really?

"Told you we'll be friends."

"Shut up Malfoy, being sorted into the same house doesn't mean we're gonna be friends."

"I'll make you take it back."

"Uh-huh."

People were looking excitedly at the house sorting ritual. We had got some people joined the Slytherin too. In total there were 5 girls including me and 5 boys including Malfoy.

Finally, after a long wait that felt like forever, the ritual had finished and now, the headmaster, Dumbledore, was giving some speech and warning about someplace. I didn't pay much attention to the warning because I knew I will mostly spend my time in my bedroom, common room or somewhere quiet.

"Let the feast begin," and the food appeared magically as soon as he finished saying his sentence.

I was a picky person, so I only chose to eat certain food even though I felt like starving to death. Malfoy, on the other hand, seemed to like the food here or maybe he was just starving that I saw him taking literally everything in his sight.

"Can you calm down a little, there's more left to eat. No need to rush," I said getting annoyed by his munching.

Well, Malfoy didn't listen to me and I had to restrain myself from yelling at him in this situation. After the dinner was finished, the prefect directed us to our dormitory. The common room felt gloomy yet magnificent, probably because it was the Slytherin way. I went to the girl's dorm once the prefect finished explaining.

I found my trunks and my owl, Grey, in a room of 5 beds. My parents never told me I have to share a room with strangers here. Just great. Now I had to interact with other people more often. Just when I was about to close my eyes and drift away to sleep, some girl started gossiping about me.

"It surprised me that we got to be in the same room with a Richards!"

"Lower your voice, Millicent. I think she's sleeping."

Girls' laughter ruined my peaceful night. I didn't sign up for this kind of situation, gotta tell this to my parents in the letter. Perhaps they would get me a private room.
