We Belong Together || Draco Malfoy X Reader

70| Girls Talk

Y/N POV

Things happened, Umbridge got fired and Voldemort was confirmed to be back again. Harry and Dumbledore's faces were on the front page of Daily Prophet which succeeded in bringing trepidation to the students, teachers and lots of people in the entire Wizarding World. The school's atmosphere became gloomy for almost everyone but me. I was thrilled that finally, it was time to go back home, where everything was better.

Umbridge's dismissal was quite a shock for the Inquisitorial members, especially Draco as he was the leader. I assured him that not being a leader of Umbridge's puppet group wasn't the end of the world. He was all sad and gloomy for a few days and there was nothing much I could do; only time could heal this and it did.

Hermione, Ginny and I had a plan to have a girls talk today at the Three Broomsticks. No need to be mentioned, Draco was making a big fuss about this meeting yesterday night that he talked too much, making it so hard to sleep. He wanted it to be our last date before we went back home for summer break. We argued, tossing hogwash excuses to each other but in the end, I got to go to meet the girls. It was a tough job to get away from his nonsense pretexts and I had to stay with him for the holiday in exchange for this mini girls talk I was about to have.

I told the girls that I didn't feel like eating so I only ordered a glass of butterbeer. They looked at me strangely and I knew why. I never lost my appetite, even in the worst situation possible. For example, after hearing my parents death, the first thing I did after crying my eyes out was loading my belly with lots of my favourite food. Draco had got used to it since we met each other so he just let me do whatever I wanted to do with the food.

"Wow, Y/N losing her appetite? Are we even on earth now?" Hermione giggled.

"And what's with those eye bags. Did you not get enough sleep last night?" Ginny questioned.

"Ask that to my boyfriend," I groaned lazily.

"Ooh, how was it?" Ginny said excitedly while elbowing Hermione who didn't have any clue about what Ginny was trying to imply; well, neither did I.

"How was what?" I squinted my eyes at her.

"You know...the shag," Ginny blurted making me and Hermione burst out our butterbeer, creating a mess on the table.

"I beg your pardon? Aren't you too young for this kind of conversation?" I protested after gaining myself back. "And no, we haven't gone that far."

Both of them gasped in shock, sending me their disbelief stare. Ginny shook her head in disappointment before asking, "How long have you been dating him again?"

"1 year and a half, probably. I know it's weird but listen, people don't date just to do that. I mean, look at us, we're perfectly fine without doing it," I claimed.

"You suck at this kind of thing, don't you?"

"Of course she does. I kinda feel bad for Malfoy, just for this matter. Remember when I told you about her not realising her feeling towards him 2 years ago," Hermione laughed.

"Okay, now you guys are bullying me and sure I'm the dumbest person alive just because I didn't realise my feeling," I groaned, rolling my eyes at them.

I tried changing the subject so we could talk about something else, but my strange love life. Luckily, it worked for a bit of time. We talked about how relieved we were after the ministry fired Umbridge and I used this subject to ask about Harry. He was still avoiding me to the point that I found it ridiculous as heck. It had been 2 months and nothing had ever bothered me this much. Why couldn't we just talk and be cool with it?
