We Belong Together || Draco Malfoy X Reader

24| The Shrieking Shack

Y/N POV

The Gryffindor trio kept avoiding me since the last time they met me and Draco in the courtyard. Honestly, it didn't make any significant change to me and my life. I was fine with it or maybe it was better because Draco would always be with me.

I still hadn't told him anything related to my friendship with the golden trio. He must have figured it out by now though, we were always together. Sometimes also with Vincent and Greg, and Blaise too.

Draco didn't like the idea of adding another boy to the gang at first, but I told him about how Blaise had saved me during a Quidditch match in year 2. He freaked out a little and asked me why did I tell him just now. But that was settled, he was friends with Blaise now.

It was another weekend again, me and the gang had agreed to go to Hogsmeade to buy things. I needed to buy some books to read as Hermione would never lend me another muggle book anymore. Too bad, Blaise and Greg couldn't make it at last minute. They didn't tell us the reason why. Then suddenly, a guy named Pike asked if he could join us. I didn't know why I agreed on adding him to the gang. But it was the more, the better, right?

Draco had always put his scarf on me since I told him he smelled nice. Not that I was complaining, I liked his cologne but my scarf had become useless now. Vincent and Pike said that they were going to buy some sports equipment at Spintwitches. We parted ways and Draco came with me to go to Tomes and Scrolls.

We entered the bookshop and I quickly searched for some books that seemed good to read while Draco was tailing me around. He told me he didn't need to buy anything today. I got 4 books in my hands. Draco offered to help but I refused.

I was thinking about getting more books, but I wouldn't be able to carry more. So I went to pay for the books when Draco suddenly grab some galleons from the inner pocket of his coat and gave it to the cashier guy.

"Give it back to him," I ordered. The cashier guy looked at me in confusion. He gave Draco his money back and I paid for the books with my own money.

"Sometimes you forget that I am a Richards, don't you?" I asked.

"Sorry, it's just nice buying you things," he giggled.

We left the bookshop and went to Madam Puddifoot straight away. I made Vincent and Pike agreed to meet us here after we were done shopping. They couldn't refuse cause Draco didn't even try to object.

Draco had become quite popular around the Hogsmeade village as the boy who bought anything for his girlfriend which they thought was me. I had protested to him like a thousand times yet his answer was always the same, "Let them have some fun with it Y/N." Not very Malfoy of him.

"So what do you want to have today Mr Malfoy?" The waitress asked. Wow, they even got to know his last name now. Gossip really travelled fast here.

"I'll take the same order as her," he said, not even looking at the waitress. Instead, he gave me his idiotic smile and I sent him a dirty look in exchange.

The waitress took our order and left instantly. Vincent and Pike came a little bit later. They gave me a disgusted look after eyeing the place. If only they knew that the food here was good, they would regret having that look on their face.

"Don't blame me that I like girly things. Besides, Draco likes this place too," I stated.

"Don't be silly, I only come here for you," he denied. Oh, trying to hide the fact that he liked the cakes here, eh?

"Of course Draco, of course," I rolled my eyes.

The waitress came again to take Vincent and Pike's order. Then a few minutes later, the waitress came back to serve my order. I ordered some oolong tea, eclairs, Pimm's scones with strawberry jam, mini madeleines, and some almond cakes with various topping such as morello cherry, strawberry, and blueberry. All of it would be shared with Draco, obviously.

Vincent tried to snatch one of my eclairs but I slapped his hand just in time which made Draco laughed. "These are mine, you wait for your food to come," I hissed.

We waited for a little more for Vincent and Pike's order to be served because I didn't want to make them drool over my cakes. Fortunately, their order came not so long after ours. They just ordered some mini cupcakes and regular black tea. As much I wanted to stay out of this, I couldn't just let them eat only mini cupcakes while me and Draco got to eat different types of delicious cake.

"Ugh right, can we share this with them too?" I asked Draco.

"If you want to, I'm okay with that," he replied.

"Sure, whatever. You guys can eat some of ours," I said to both of the boys who looked at me like I just did something saintly.

They ate the cakes shortly in a very terrible manner. They really needed to take an etiquette class. Meanwhile, me and Draco ate in our usual elegant manner. We finished eating and Draco insisted on paying for the food right after.

Vincent and Pike told us about this creepy house called the Shrieking Shack and suggested us to take a look at it before going back to Hogwarts. Now I would be honest, creepy things weren't for me. And before I knew it, I had been dragged to go to the bloody Shrieking Shack.

As if things couldn't get any worse. We found Hermione and Ron looking in the direction of the Shrieking Shack, probably they wanted to enter the property too. Or simply, just curious about the place. Nerds.

"Well well, look who's here," Draco started.

"You two shopping for your new dream home? A bit grand, isn't it for you Weasel-bee?" He sneered.

"Draco..." I whispered after my eyes met Hermione's. She wasn't happy about this at all.

"Don't your family sleep in uh.., one room?" He mocked.

"Shut your mouth, Malfoy," Ron hissed.

"Ooh, not very friendly," Draco replied.

"Draco, please," I whispered, trying to stop him.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt them," he smirked at me before turning back to Hermione and Ron.

"Boys, I think it's time we teach Weasel-bee how to respect his superiors," he said in such confidence.

Hermione let out a dry laugh and said, "Hope you don't mean yourself."

"How dare you talk to me, you filthy little mudblood!"

I grabbed his arm as soon as possible to stop him from insulting anyone more than this. Hermione might not be my friend anymore but it was still unacceptable to call people mudblood.

"Y/N...," he pleaded before a snowball hit him on the cheek. Oh, now he was mad. He turned around to look at the culprit but no one was there.

"Who's there?" He yelled.

Suddenly snowballs were being thrown towards the boys by somebody unknown. Not even one of those snowballs hit me. Who could this person be?

Then suddenly, Vincent's trousers were being pulled down revealing his boxer pants.

"Y/N don't look!" Draco ordered.

"It's just boxer pants," I argued.

"It's a boy's boxer pants," he debated.

Suddenly, Pike was being pulled around by his scarf. Then Draco was being dragged by his legs to the Shrieking Shack. He screamed in fear. Lucky for him, puberty had taken away his girly scream.

"No, not there," I said chasing after Draco.

Hermione and Ron were laughing at the boys. We exchanged some glances before I went to help Draco to get up. He was embarrassed, but he tried to hide it very well. We left the scene instantly, not wanting to get more hit with snowballs.
