Potters Girl (Draco Malfoy x reader)

Year Six, Chapter Six

Standing in the mirror, I stare at my reflection. I tug at the dress I'm wearing, it's hugs my figure in what I hope is a flattering way but I cannot help but feel self conscious. It's the day after what happened with Draco and all day I've been thinking about his lips connecting with mine last night....

"You look great y/n! Stop worrying." Hermione walks up to me. "Have you found a date for the Christmas party coming up?"

"Well... Kind of. I know who I'm asking. I hadn't gotten a chance to tell you yet, but last night something happened..." I turn to her.

"Let's hear it!"

"Well... ImayHaveKissedDracoMalfoyAndWeBothAdmittedToSmellingEachotherInTheLovePotionDuringSlughornsClassAndNowIDontKnowWhatWeAre...." I mumble quickly under my breath.

"What?" I sigh.

"I may have... possibly... kissed... Draco Malfoy...?" I start.

"Finally." My jaw drops at her reaction.

"Huh??"

"We all know you two fancy eachother. For a while now, at least I have. It started at the beginning of third year. Anyway continue? Spill all the details!!! I'm so happy for you!!" She paused, thinking. "Wait. It is a good thing... right?"

"It's an amazing thing, Mione. I've never felt that kind of connection with anyone else, I know that's cheesy." I explain everything that happened last night to her and she kindly listens to each word.

"That's amazing!! He seems like such an ass but I assumed he was nicer when you two are alone." Hermione explains.

"So how did you even know he fancied me? Or that I fancied him?" She lets out a laugh at my question.

"Well, that day on the train at the start of third year. When he walked into our compartment to hug Harry, I saw the way you looked at him. You were attracted and intrigued. And I saw the way he looked at you, but I wasn't sure about him, it seemed like he was trying to mess with Harry. But, when he spent every single night sitting with you in the hospital wing, that's when I knew it was more than lust." My heart drops.

"He sat with me every night?" She nods and I smile widely. "He really is sweet.... When you get to know him."

"I'm happy for you. Not to cut this conversation short, but we should head down, so we aren't late."

"Let's go. Do I look alright?"

"You always do, y/n." I laugh and we walk down the stairs. As we round a corner I see Draco walking towards us and my heart drops.

"Hey Draco!" I hug him tightly.

"I'll see you at the party, Y/n." Hermione says with a smile as she keeps walking.

"Hey beautiful." He smiles and pulls away from the hug. He looks me up and down, stepping back. "Merlins beard, you look hot as hell tonight."

"Stop ittt!! You're making me blush!" I say laughing as I hit him in the arm.

"Good, you're adorable when you do." He laughs.

"I have to go to Slughorns party honey, I'll talk to you later?" I say, checking the time.

"You know..." He starts, his hands find my hips and he pulls me close. "You could always ditch Slughorns party and do something more... fun." He smirks down at me suggestively.

"Idiot." I hit him jokingly and laugh.

"Maybe later tonight you should meet me at the astronomy tower?"

"It's a date." I smile and start walking off. Turning, I see him staring at me walking away. Bloody idiot. I smile to myself as I enter the room.

Everyone has already started eating and all eyes turned to me as I walked in.

"Oh, Y/n! There you are! Come sit, Hermione saved you a seat!"

"I'm so sorry I'm late, I ran into Professor McGonagall and we started talking and I lost track of time." I lie.

"No worries, none at all. Oh, where were we?" The conversation resumes and I sit beside Hermione.

"Thank you for the seat!!"

"Of course."

"Hi Harry!" I say, noticing the quiet boy to my left. I'm in between Mione and Harry which is nice. We all eat and talk, and then it's dessert time, which consists of ice cream sundaes but more formal and decadent.

"So tell me, Cormac, do you see anything of your uncle Tiberius these days?"

"Yes, sir, in fact I'm meant to get hunting with him and the Minister of Magic over the holidays." He looks over at Hermione with a smirk and she looks away in disgust.

"Oh, well, be sure to give them both my best. And what about..." I zone out and play with my food, thinking about how I get to see Draco later.

"And what about you, Ms. Granger, what exactly does your family do in the Muggle world?" At the mention of Hermiones name my head turns and I know this is gonna be awkward.

"My parents are dentists. They tend to people's teeth." Everyone goes silent in confusion.

"Fascinating. And is that considered a dangerous profession?"

"No. Although, one boy, Robbie Fenwich, did bite my father once. He needed ten stitches." An awkward pause ensues before someone else walks in and our attention is redirected.

"Ah, Ms. Weasley. Come in, come in."

"Look, her eyes." Hermione says.

"They've been fighting again. Her and Dean." I whisper and Harry and Mione nod.

"Sorry, I'm not usually late." Her voice is slightly shaky.

"No matter, just in time for dessert. That is if Belby has left you any." Slughorn laughs. I then notice Harry awkwardly standing beside me and look at Hermione who gives me a look.

"Harry?" I ask. He flushes pink and sits down, coughing awkwardly. We finish our desserts and Slughorn escorts us all out.

"Bye, Ms. y/L/n, Ms. Granger!"

"Wheres Harry?" I ask Mione once we enter the hall.

"He wanted to talk with Slughorn." I nod.

"Mione, can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Who did you smell in the love potion?" She pauses.

"Um.. well... Ronald. I smelled... Ronald."

"That's obvious. You gonna ask him to the Christmas party?"

"How was it obvious?" She asks.

"We all know you two fancy eachother, everyone except you two!" She laughs as we walk.

"Hey, I'm gonna take a short walk to clear my head. I'll be in the common room later." I say as we near the entrance.

"Okay y/n. Have fun with Draco...." She says suggestively and I roll my eyes but laugh.

I start walking to the astronomy tower, butterflies in my stomach.
