i listened to hermione talk at my side as we walked the corridors,
the books clutched to my chest.
up ahead,
we saw draco malfoy walking our way.
"well look who it is,"
he grinned that grin of his while his two henchmen giggled behind him.
hermione looked the other way,
whereas i continued to talk.
"don't you have some first years to bully?"
"funny you say that,
just came back from doing that."
"i was being sarcastic, idiot."
malfoy raised an eyebrow and looked at his friends,
snickering.
"oooo. biting back are we, y/l?"
"you're annoying. did you know that?"
"eh. i've heard it a time or two."
i rolled my eyes and grabbed hermione's arm,
walking past the group of boys and listening to their snickers.
"i cannot stand him."
"y/n, did you notice something unusual back there?"
"hm? like what?"
"well, usually malfoy would've called me a mudblood. or pushed you onto the floor like he usually does, but this time he just.. laughed at your jokes?"
i stopped and turned to look at her,
raising an eyebrow.
"what are you trying to say?"
"maybe draco is changing?"
we both stood in silence before pouring over with laughter,
"malfoy changing? you're funnier than i thought,"
i giggled as we entered the common room,
beginning our study session.
***
the room was loud with chatter,
food being passed around and eaten.
hermione and i conversed with harry and ron about the events that happened in class today,
laughing with one another.
"y/n... it seems as if malfoy is staring at you,"
ron warned with a worried expression plastered on his face.
i turned my head to face him,
seeing his smirk grow against his lips.
my eyebrows furrowed together in confusion before turning back to the group,
"he's weird."
"weird? more like evil,"
ron continued,
picking at the food on his plate.
i shrugged my shoulders,
racking my mind with subjects to change the conversation to.
"oh! harry! i have the chocolates i owe you,"
i giggled as everyone remembered the bet him and i made,
which i poorly lost.
i searched my pockets for it and couldn't find them,
remembering i left them on my bed.
"dammit. i left them on my bed. i'll go run and get them! i'll be back,"
i stood up to walk away before harry intervened,
"i don't think that's a good idea y/n. just wait, you can get them later."
i sighed and shook my head,
running to the room would give everyone enough time to forget about the whole malfoy thing.
"it's fine! i can take care of myself, you know? i'll be back,"
i smiled and began hurrying my way through the doors.
once those same doors closed behind me i began walking a bit slower to the room.
i hummed and looked at the pictures that hung the whole and moved,
realizing how dark the corridors get at night.
"y/n?"
the voice called out and echoed through the halls,
footsteps drawing closer to me.
the voice sounded familiar,
but not familiar enough.
panic began to settle in me,
my heart racing.
i swallowed hard and waited for whoever it was to turn the corner,
and there he was.
draco malfoy.
"bloody hell malfoy! you scared me!"
i gasped as i hit his shoulder playfully,
grabbing my own chest.
"i'm sorry. i didn't mean to,"
he explained with a small laugh.
i stood up straight before titling my head,
trying to figure him out.
"did-did you just apologize?"
"well... yeah?"
"why?"
the boy chuckled and ran a hand through his hair,
"i can't apologize?"
"no i mean... you can but that's not you."
"i'm a changed man, y/n."
"why? what happened?"
the silence fell upon us before he grabbed my hand,
inching our bodies closer.
"ever since our first year, i knew something was missing. i couldn't quite put my finger on it, but then i saw you. you were walking towards me and looked so beautiful and just being near you gave me the feeling i craved. nobody else came close to making me feel the way you do by just looking at me. so i did what i do best: bullied and taunted your friends just to have an excuse to talk to you. and it was stupid, but you're what i need y/n."
i was stunned.
flattered,
but stunned.
"you know you could've just talked to me, right? we could've been friends from the start."
he let out a loose laugh,
the tension leaving his body.
"it's complicated. with you being sorted in gryffindor and all. but it doesn't matter, i'm done living a complicated life. i'm done living everyone else's life. i want to start living mine and that starts with you."
"i feel like you're trying to be funny. is this a joke, malfoy? cause if so it's not fu-"
draco cut me off by closing the space between us,
our lips connecting and moving in sync.
he was a great kisser.
he placed his hand on my cheek,
his thumb caressing it while our lips continued to grow familiar.
the kiss was full of passion and years of angst.
his teeth sunk into my bottom lip,
letting the very soft moan slide while he pulled back.
he stood in front of me,
my body warm and fuzzy.
"it's not a joke,"
was all he said.
"y/n! y/n! where are you?"
i heard hermione's voice bounce off the walls.
i grabbed dracos hand and ran to where she stood,
ron and harry with her.
"you! what did you do to her you filthy little-"
"hermione!"
i cut her off,
seeing draco raise his hands in surrender.
"i didn't do anything. i apologize for stealing her from you all, but i'll be on my way now,"
he walked past the group and everyone watched him leave,
their attention turning to me.
"what the hell was that?"
"you were right hermoine. he's changed,"
i mumbled,
my colds fingers gently touching my warm lips.
***
"would you just tell us what happened?"
harry asked as we sat to eat breakfast,
my eyes rolling.
"guys! nothing happened! he just caught up with me to apologize for bullying us for the last few years."
"i don't believe it. he's up to something, y/n."
i looked up at ron and watched him eat the toast in worry.
"you guys worry too much. people change, you know?"
"not the malfoys, y/n! they're all the same."
i lowered my head and began to wonder how i was gonna convince them otherwise.
i looked over to find him,
and saw him already looking at me.
a smile began to dance across my lips as the note flew onto my table,
"meet me in the hall in 10 minutes. xx
-malfoy"
i looked back and nodded my head in agreement,
looking back at the group who hadnt been paying attention.
"who's the note from?"
"oh, seamus. he's asking me to study with him again."
i looked down at my tray,
feeling the twinge of guilt for lying.
but a smile stayed on my face,
for in ten minutes i'd be with draco.
i continued to eat and chatter with the group before seeing draco walk out the dining hall.
i waited a couple more minutes,
telling the group i'd be back because i was having
'girl problems.'
i turned the corner and saw draco standing,
staring at the paintings on the wall.
"there he is! the man of the hour,"
i giggled before feeling his arms wrap around me and spinning me in the air.
he let me down and pecked my lips,
both of his thumbs on my cheeks while the rest of his fingers laid on my neck.
"i know your friends think terrible of me-"
"i'm trying to get them to see your change, draco. i really am. it's just-"
"let me finish y/n,"
he smiled,
making the worry in my expression disappear.
"i know they don't like me. and i'm gonna do all that i can to make sure they see i'm serious about you. so, i bought them-"
"draco! buying them useless things isn't going to help!"
"i wish you'd let me finish,"
he continued,
his chuckle small.
"i'm sorry. continue,"
i sighed before laying my head on his chest,
"you'll see. but for now i want to give you this,"
i pulled back and watched him pull out a necklace from his robe pocket.
it was beautiful.
"draco!"
i spoke in awe,
looking up at him.
his smile was soft and pure,
his eyes telling secrets.
"i bought it after seeing you on the train to hogwarts our first year. call me crazy, but i knew i'd give it to you eventually."
i giggled at the story while he fastened it around my neck,
and once he was finished i turned to show him.
"i thought you'd look beautiful in it. and i was so right, you look amazing."
i smiled harder then i had ever smiled and threw my arms around him,
feeling him hold me close.
our lips found their way back to each other,
making up for lost time.
i could never get enough of him.
he turned my cold body warm with each touch.
our bodies stood intertwined,
his hands laid on my waist while mine raked through his hair.
he slowly pulled back and took notice of my swollen lips and laughed,
"i can't get enough of you,"
he admitted,
holding me close.
"i can't either. you're like... addicting."
we both laughed together that time.
"get back to breakfast. it's almost over."
"where are you going?"
he smiled,
teasing me for being worried about his whereabouts before giving me an answer,
"i've got some business to handle."
***
the next few hours went by,
our classes beginning and ending,
before the day was finally over.
we all gathered in the common room,
my body laying against the couch.
"such a long day."
"i agree,"
hermoine nodded,
sitting next to me.
"guys? what's this?"
harry questioned,
a package with everyone's name on it lying on the table.
"i don't know. who's it from?"
"there's no name."
harry tore his open first,
his mouth wide.
"it's a broomstick! the newest one at that!"
i gasped and ran over to examine it with him,
"those aren't even out yet! must've cost a fortune."
and it hit me.
draco.
i let out a laugh of realization and leaned my head against potter's shoulder,
their expressions curious.
"it's a great gift, harry. i can only imagine who bought it for you."
"well whoever bought it is now my favorite person."
ron's was barely wrapped and it moved from time to time,
and once he tore the wrapping paper off there laid scabbers.
"oh! scabbers! how i've missed you!"
he exclaimed and let the rat out to hug.
ron had lost scabbers about two months ago on the trip to hogsmeade,
i wonder how draco found him.
hermione looked at hers hesitantly,
shaking her head.
"i don't understand. who would do such generous things for us? and not leave any name to receive credit?"
"just open it hermione."
she sighed and tore the paper off,
a stack of books.
everyone eyed each other,
scared she was upset with her gift.
"oh... my.."
was all she said before opening the first book in a hurry.
"this is the best gift ever! i've been searching long and hard for these and-"
she stopped as she stumbled across the first page,
bursting with excitement,
"and they're signed! we have to find who gave us these so i can tell them how much i love them!"
i smiled and looked over her shoulder at the signature on the book,
"yeah. they're great gifts."
"did you do this, y/n?"
ron asked,
"no. but i can show you who did."
***
we all walked the school trying to find draco,
before finding him in the astronomy tower.
"y/n!"
he smiled and rose to his feet before seeing the three appear behind me.
"and friends."
"what game are you playing at, y/n?"
"i'm not. draco? anything you'd like to, i don't know, say 'you're welcome' for?"
the boy let the smile play at his lips as he dropped his head,
a laugh escaping.
"i don't know what you're hinting at, y/l."
"draco bought you those gifts,"
i turned to the group,
their faces in denial.
"no way. malfoy wouldn't... be nice to us."
ron protested,
hermione following close behind,
"you can't be serious."
draco then stepped up from behind me and began talking,
"i want to apologize for all that i've done. and i'm not asking for us to be the best of friends, but i am asking that you let y/n and i progress into something more."
the whole room went silent before they sighed,
"fine. but only because you apologized. and i don't wanna return those books,"
hermione smiled.
and with that,
they left after giving draco their thank you's.
"well that was a big surprise."
"what can i say? i'd do anything to have you."
"anything?"
"anything,"
he smiled cheerfully and pulled me closer by the waist,
our lips becoming one.
the electricity flew within me,
our adrenaline's rushing.
his lips moved down to my jawline,
then my neck,
leaving small lovebites.
he found my sweet spot which earned a soft and quiet little moan,
his attention back on me.
"be my girlfriend,"
he spoke,
almost demanding instead of asking.
i smiled soft and pulled my throbbing bottom lip between my teeth and nodded,
"of course."
draco and i spent the rest of the afternoon in the astronomy tower,
laughing,
telling secrets,
just enjoying each other's company.
and i wouldn't want it any other way.
