Draco's POV

My eyes were pricking as I left the classroom.

I felt tears slowly trickling down my cheeks.

I kept running until I got back to my dorm. At this point, I couldn't care less about who saw me cry.

I was broken.

I struggled to get the idea through my head that Y/N had done something with Potter. I didn't know whether she had, had sex with him or if she had just given him head but all I know is that she chose him.

She chose him, over me.

As I ran into my dorm, I slammed the door behind me. I couldn't bare to look anyone in the eye.

Suddenly, I felt my face flush red in anger. But I wasn't angry at Y/N, I was angry at myself. I should've told her when I started to develop feelings for her but I was scared. Scared that I would ruin our friendship, scared that she didn't see me that way, scared that she would well..choose potter over me. And I couldn't help but think that I could've prevented her from hooking up with Potter. I could've prevented her from choosing him over me. I'm Draco Malfoy for fucks sake. If only I had told her why I was crying last night. If only I had told her that touching the only girl I loved yet the only girl I might never get to be with felt felt like my organs were being torn out one by one, leaving my carved heart for last. I knew I had to tell her but the paranoia had swallowed me whole.

I heard a knock on the door.

'Draco? are you there?' Y/N questioned softly.

'Please just leave me' I whispered in between sniffles. I couldn't bare to talk to her until she knew how I felt. Even hearing her voice made me shiver.

I wanted nothing more than to hear her whisper in my ear telling me that she loved me back.

I couldn't deal with it anymore. I burst out into a flood of tears, burying my face in my pillow unable to repress my emotions any longer.

I had been crying for around two hours. I hadn't even gotten up to eat dinner. But I needed to pull myself together. I dragged myself out of bed, wiping my tears on my sleeve and stood myself in front of the mirror. My eyes were bloodshot and my skin was patchy. I looked down at my hands, my veins were extremely prominent from my fists being clenched for so long. My hair was messy and my limbs were sore but I couldn't let Y/N slip away so easily. I needed to win her over.

As I tidied my appearance, I hatched a plan . One that would be sure to tell her know how I feel. I was still anxious that she would choose Potter, but crying wouldn't get me anywhere in this situation. So this was my plan:

- I would organise a game of spin the bottle x 7 minutes in heaven

- It was to take place in the room of requirements

-I would send invitations to each of the common rooms

- when it's my turn, I'll use my wand to make sure the bottle lands on Y/N

- and then I'll take it from there

Feeling confident in my plan, I stepped outside my dorm room. As I walked out, I tripped on something, it was my robe. Y/N must have left it for me. I picked it up and held it to my chest. I could smell Y/N so clearly. It was obvious that she had been wearing it. I lifted my robe up to my nose and inhaled the vanilla and pine fumes. The scent was so prominent that I could almost imagine her in my arms.
