We Belong Together || Draco Malfoy X Reader

Y/N POV

It was another DADA class with Umbridge. Hermione offered to sit next to me but I refused right away. I didn't feel like interacting with anyone right now. I sat on the very same seat where I used to sit with Draco, at the back of the class. But he wasn't with me anymore. He was sitting with Pansy far in the front row. Had he really moved on that quick? I could see how happy Pansy was, probably throwing lame jokes to make him laugh. But she failed nastily.

She should've said something bad about Harry and the idiot would die of laughter in a matter of second.

"You are not going to use your wand today, Mr Longbottom," Umbridge declared when she noticed Neville practising a spell secretly.

"More like we are not going to use our wands forever," Harry scoffed, making some people snorted, including me.

"I'll be happy to see you in detention with Miss Richards tonight, Mr Potter."

For Merlin's sake, why did this woman always choose to give detention for everything? She was like detention this and detention that. Did she like to see us suffer that much?

She threw her wicked smile at Harry and me in turn. I swore I saw Draco glanced at me for a second until he turned back right after our eyes met. Did I still have a chance? Oh, forget it Y/N. He wouldn't care about me anymore. He had probably dated Pansy or engaged to that little Greengrass girl by now.

Pansy was slinging her arm around him and it pained me so much that I wanted to get out of this class right now. God knew how much I wanted to kill that minger. If only I could tear those arms apart right now without having to be sent to Azkaban for a murder attempt to the ugliest creature in the world.

Why did he let her do that? Was he really dating her? My heart ached at the sight of the new prefect couple far ahead. It should've been me. He used to be mine and just because of some stupid cuts on my hand, he was now gone completely. The more I thought about it, I started to realise that I was probably the one in the wrong.

I shouldn't have kept things away from him.

I was standing alone in the astronomy tower, watching the stars that suddenly didn't look as beautiful as usual. It used to be perfect each time Draco brought me here. What was wrong with them tonight? This was the place where I agreed to be his girlfriend 2 Christmas ago. It hurt me to come here alone but my feet were moving without my will. Why did I tend to hurt myself even more?

I didn't even realise that my eyes had become watery just by thinking about the stars and him. How much longer would I stay to be the crybaby I was right now?

I skipped dinner just to come here and I had bloody detention with Umbridge after dinner. I didn't know how long I had been here but maybe it was time to go to her office now. I promised myself that I wouldn't come here again if it wasn't an urgent matter. Coming here would only hold me from moving on from Draco which would destroy me even worse.

I walked down the stairs carefully, not wanting to fall for another time. No one would be there to catch me anymore. And just when I thought I had been hurt enough today, I bumped into him on my way out of the astronomy tower.

"Sorry," I apologised not because I wanted to. It was a reflex, all thanks to my late parents who raised me with manners.

He just stared at me coldly, not saying a single word. Was this how he acted to other people except me before? The difference was very significant. Why didn't he grab my arm again like he usually did when we were alone? Had he lost interest in checking up on my hand?
