We Belong Together || Draco Malfoy X Reader

10| An Idiot from the Bookshop

Y/N POV

"I'll see you at work," Draco's dad said to Ron's dad.

"See you at school," Draco copied, pulling my wrist to go with him.

"Um...see you Hermione...and you guys too," I said awkwardly before leaving the shop with Draco.

We walked along the road. He was still holding my wrist. I didn't know where we were heading. I stopped walking all of a sudden causing Draco to stop too.

"What is it Y/N?" He asked.

I gave him a look and raised my right hand which eventually brought his left hand up too.

"What?" He asked again.

"My wrist, it hurts."

"Oh, sorry," he said letting go of my wrist.

"Does it hurt badly?" He asked in concern. Why the change of mood?

"Nope but I gotta find my mom and buy some books. See you at the station?"

"Ah right, see you at the station then."

We waved goodbye before going our separate way. I went back to Flourish and Blotts to get some books. Harry, Hermione and the rest of the Weasley had left the shop.

I was about to pay for my books when I saw who the so-called famous author was. He looked like an idiot to me. He asked me if I wanted a sign even when I didn't buy any of his books. I turned down the offer and quickly moved away from the shop.

My mom bought the rest of the things I needed. She also bought some new fancy clothes for me that I would probably never wear at school. I would be more than happy if I could just wear my PJ all day.

My parents sent me off to the King's Cross station. Same like before, I sat in the train compartment with Draco across me. Vincent and Greg joined us a bit later.

Soon later, Pansy entered the compartment and sat beside Draco without saying any word making Greg had to squeeze himself to fit.

I tried to ignore Pansy, not wanting to waste my energy on a useless argument. However, I still watched her moved little by little, closer to Draco. He widened his eyes then looked at me, signalling me to do something.

I felt sorry for him but I wasn't in the mood to do anything. I chose to look away to avoid Draco's gaze.

"Anything from off the trolley dears?"

I shifted my attention to the compartment door. It was the sweets lady. Draco searched his pocket to get some galleons and walked to the sweets lady. Not again.

"Please don't," I begged knowing he would buy the whole trolley again.

"You sure you don't want anything?" He asked to confirm.

"Yes, I'm good. Don't you get a lesson from last Christmas?"

He mumbled an oh and went back to his seat then I apologised to the sweets lady. Pansy looked at us in confusion.

"What was that?" She started.

"None of your business," Draco hissed. He looked very annoyed.

"No! What's going on between you two?!" She yelled.

Why was she always yelling and mad around me?

"Can you not meddle on other people's business?" Draco snapped.

I was a bit shocked, he never snapped that loud before, at least not in front of me. Pansy must have got him to his limit.

The rest of the ride was quiet since Draco snapped. I must thank him later for making me have a peaceful ride this year

As usual, there was a house sorting ritual for first-year students. I still had some grudges for that silly sorting hat.

Draco had come back to his senses and started teasing me during dinner. I let him be for a while. It was weird, I didn't see Harry and Ron sit anywhere near Hermione.

"Stop it or I'll kick your you-know-what." I threatened Draco. He tensed up and stopped teasing me again for that night.

Again, Pansy was glaring at me and I didn't give a damn about it anymore.

We were having a class inside the greenhouse with Professor Sprout. We were instructed to repot Mandrakes. Hermione gave us some explanation about Mandrakes which made Gryffindor got 10 points from Professor Sprout.

The professor ordered us to put on the earmuffs tightly to our ears as we would be dealing with a lot of loud crybabies. She showed us how to repot the baby Mandrakes. Their cries were still loud even with the earmuffs on. Poor boy Neville fainted during the lesson.

Draco laughed as he pulled a crying baby Mandrake. He tried slipping one of his fingers into its mouth. The baby Mandrake bit his finger. I laughed at the sight of him having a hard time pulling his finger out.

It was another night in Hogwarts. I sat on the common room's couch with Vincent and Greg. They were eating some late-night snacks and didn't let me have a little taste. Stingy weirdos.

I stared blankly in the air, thinking about what I should think at this hour. Then Draco came and sat on the couch across me.

"What are you thinking?"

"I don't know...do you have any suggestion about what to think?"

"What a question," he chuckled.

He stared at the floor. Maybe also thinking about what to think, just like me.

"I heard there's a new professor for dark arts," Vincent blurted. Why did he bring this up just now? Well, Dumbledore might have announced it earlier but none of us was hearing what he said.

"Male or female?" I asked a little bit interested.

"Probably a male," Greg replied.

"Oh. Is he young? Don't we have dark arts tomorrow?" I asked getting more interested.

"What's with you Y/N?" Draco said slightly annoyed.

•••

I walked to DADA classroom with Draco and the gang. I rushed to Hermione to ask some questions related to the new professor.

"Yeah, I heard he's still young!"

We laughed for a moment before going to our seat. I walked to the seat next to Draco who somehow looked pretty annoyed. I shrugged my shoulder not wanting to know the reason for his sudden mood change, I swore this morning he was still in his normal mood.

The professor entered the room and introduced himself. Some girls started whispering admiration about him. I just cringed, how could an idiot at Flourish and Blotts become the new DADA teacher in Hogwarts?

"For Merlin's sake..." I muttered.

"Is he your type too? Girls seem to have blind eyes these days," Draco scoffed.

"Are you joking? I've seen someone with a better look."

"Who?" He asked.

"Why do you care?"

"Who is it? Tell me," he demanded.

"God damn it, Draco, chill! It's my dad, of course."

He sighed in relief followed with a smile and looked away from me. What's wrong with him, really?

For some reason, Professor Lockhart, the idiot from Flourish and Blotts, thought it was a good idea to release some freshly caught Cornies pixies in a class full of second-years. The class turned into chaos in just a few seconds, everyone freaked out and some even ran outside.

Draco held my wrist and pulled me out of the class just like when we left Flourish and Blotts some days ago. I saw the golden trio were still staying in class and poor kid Neville was being teased by the pixies.

"Maybe we should've stayed and helped?" I blurted earning Draco's attention.

"Too bad, I won't let you."
