Meant to be (Draco x reader)

Chapter 8: Forgiving

"Goodnight!" You say as he walks down the hallway
———————————————————
You get inside your room and change into a really cute sweatshirt and a mini skirt that complimented you. You put on some light makeup and brushed your teeth. 'Why am I putting so much work on my appearance?' You start thinking but ignore yourself and continue. Once you're done you look at the time and it says 9:55. You start walking towards the astronomy tower getting more nervous with every step. As you are about 2 steps away from the door you think 'if he tries anything with me I'm going to sock him right in his playboy face' and with that you take a deep breath, putting your hand on the handle, turning it. You walk in to see that Draco is already there, he is leaning against the railing, his hand gripping the railing. You look at his knuckles seeing they're white from gripping the railing so tight. You start to get nervous and you step back before saying,

"Draco?" He turns around and his eyes shimmer when he sees you. You take in his features, his blond hair looked perfect right now and his blue-grey eyes glistened in the moon light. He doesn't say anything so you continue, "you wanted to meet here?" He doesn't say anything but he walks closer to you. You start to get nervous and you think of escape routes but when he brings his eyes to yours you feel comfortable with him and relax.
'What is this man doing to me? I can't like him!' You think to yourself. His is a couple inches away from you but he looks back down at the floor. You bring your hand to his chin causing him to look at you, "what's wrong?" You say softly. He doesn't say anything but he just looks at you, you look him up and down trying to read him but you can't.

"Why are you so forgiving?" He says and you seem taken back by this, he's being nice to you.

"Because I think it's stupid to hold grudges even though Merlin knows I should be holding one against you." He smiles softly and then theres a silence, it's not awkward but it's not comfortable. He finally says,

"I'm s-sorry" you look up at him in disbelief.

"Did I hear you right?" You say and he just laughs a little.

"I am though, I'm sorry" he says again bringing the conversation back to serious.

"What for?" You say wanting to know why exactly he's sorry.

"For calling your mother a mudblood" he says softly and you inhale a sharp breath as you look down at the floor not saying anything. After a little while he looks at you and says,
"What happened to her?" You debate whether or not you should tell him so you decide to tell him the short version.

"She passed away, Voldemort killed her." You say and he looks up at you when you say Voldemort's name. He doesn't say anything for a little and then quietly says

"I'm sorry, I had no idea" you look up at him wondering why all of a sudden he's being so nice.

"It's okay you didn't know, but if you bring her up again I'm going to have to kick you in the no no square." You both laugh and he says

"Yeah thanks for teaching me that new term, it hurt to walk all day" you both laugh softly and you say

"Sorry" he smiles for the first time, it looks like a real smile, not his usual smirk or grin. You mirror his smile looking up at him, his grey eyes attached to yours. He looks like he's about to do something he might regret, you give him a confused look and he moves closer to you.

He moves closer to you and for a second he looked like he was about to kiss you, your heart rate picks up as he is right in front of you, you get really nervous anticipating it but he walks right past you at the last second, walking to the other side of the railing. Your face was red because you were blushing, but you moved over next to him, looking up at him when you got there. His face was equally as red because he was blushing as well. You start to think about what Hermione told you,

"He only uses girls for sex and then never talks to them again" you frown and start thinking about how Harry told you to stay away from him. You look back at Draco who is silent. You guys stay like that for a while just looking out over the stars.

"I guess I'll see you later?" You say looking up at him, he smiles back at you and says

"Yeah I guess I'll see you tomorrow when I'm picking on you" you both laugh and you say,

"Whatever you say Malfoy" he smiles as you walk away, heading down the steps he watches you carefully. As you're walking down the steps you think about that girl who Draco was talking to in the hallway. You think 'he is probably playing her too. She probably thinks she is special as well.' You get more mad at him as you walk to the common room. When you walk inside you see Harry sitting on the couch, you try sneaking past him without him seeing you but it's too late.

"Y/n?" He says confused as he stands up.

'Dang it' you think but you say
"Hey Harry whats up?" Trying not to act suspicious.
