3rd year potions ;) (ReaderxMalfoy)

Malfoy's gift

The joy of yesterday's mischief and sweets didn't last long for you. Hermione had left to the library to read, and Ginny was sent down in detention for 'stealing from the kitchen.' Even though the elves gave you the sweets. You stayed in the girls dormitory.

Finding yourself quite bored, you grab your bag from underneath your four poster. Yanking it on top of your bed and open it, "Better empty this." You mumble to yourself, looking at all the sweets the Malfoy bought you two. With a flick of your wand your sweets fly into the trash bin: out of sight where you can't get reminded of Malfoy.

You sigh and fall back onto your four poster. I wish I could talk to him- no I don't! What am I stupid? I'm just asking for him to insult me! I made the right choice! :Your mind was having an argument with it's own self. "God I'm so stupid sometimes- what the?"A black owl with golden eyes came flying in through the open window, holding a letter in it's beak and a package tied to its leg. "This better not be..." You sit up and grab the letter: opening it with both your hands. "It is! Oh and it's long too..."

"Dear Y/N,
I have no words to describe how much I loath myself for saying such wrong things to you. What I said was uncalled for, rude, and I understand why you have left. I have never been in a true relationship before, all of this is new to me believe it or not. I will stick to what I said in the library, you are the best thing that's ever happened to me. You have treated me like a person, and not like some rich Slytherin. I want to thank you for standing up for not only I, but for the rest of the Slytherin house. You know I don't thank much so I hope you know it's sincere. If you open the the package that Ulysses has you will see what I got when I left during our trip. I hope you will forgive me, even if you will never look at me again...

-Draco M."

You slowly set the letter the down and untie the small package. Holding your breath as you open it, your heart begins to race. "Maybe I shouldn't..." You whisper under you breath. Sighing, trying to make up your mind, you untie the red bow. "Argh! I hate detention!"

Ginny slammed open the door and throws herself on top her four poster bed. You shoo Draco's owl away out the window, stuff the letter and package into your night stand, and sit back up. She will kill Dr-errr-Malfoy if she found out he sent those. "What was those noises?" She asked, looking up from her pillow with her flaming red hair in front of her face. "Nothing!" You say with a huge grin, trying to pretend you didn't just stuff a gift and letter from Draco into your drawer.

"Errr right," Ginny sat back up. "Anyways, as I was saying. Filch made me polishing all the trophies that students have gotten from the past like one hundred years! With NO magic! Do you realize how- Y/N are you okay?" You were still sitting in the exact same spot, with a wide grin (that didn't look normal) and holding your shoulders, as if to give yourself a hug. "What do you mean? I'm great!" You exclaim. "Y/N, are you hiding something from me?"

"Ummm...no." You say, dragging out the 'um'. "I know when you're lying, and one way or another Im going to find out what your hiding." Ginny raises an eyebrow. "I swear I'm not hiding anything!" She Inches closer to the edge of the bed to get closer to you. "Look I'm just nervous of this Sirius Black on the lose, and now I'm just sooo sad," you shrug "that Malfoy and I are done, that I don't know how to feel." Ginny nods and closes her eyes. "I'm sorry, you're right. I should have been more understanding. Thank you for telling me the truth. I'll leave you to it and join 'Mione in the library." She gets up, and gives you a great big bear hug. "Thanks, Gin." "Anytime." The redhead opens the door, and you wait until it fully closes. Once you hear the click and her steps fading away, you quickly reach for the drawer.

"Okay, let's see what this guy got me now." Tearing open the gift you start to see a black box. "Did you see Ron today?!" Looking up, you see Lavender and Parvati (aka your roommates) walking in. "He's okay I guess." Paravti says. Quickly, you shove the gift under your pillow: the two girls would ask too many questions on whom gave that to you. (if you told them, that would cause too much drama) "Oh hello, Y/N!" Lavender exclaimed. "I errr...would like to apologize for being one of those people who were being rude just because you were with Malfoy." She said shyly to you. "Right. Thanks, Lav." Lavender grins, then nudges Parvati In the ribs. "Oof! What? Oh! Yeah, same here. Sorry." Parvati apologies. "Thanks."

The girls sat on their bed, talking about Ron. Giggling on how much Lavender finds his red hair and comments so attractive. You sit on your four poster waiting until they leave, so you can open his present. You would leave, but you would have to grab the present. Grabbing that would bring too much attention and they would notice right away. Closing the curtains would cause too much attention too. They could be too nosy for their own good sometimes.

"Oh! Would you look at the clock! Time for dinner! And you best believe that Ron is already there!" Lavender says with a grin, and a huge blush. "Y/N, you coming?" Parvati asks. "You two go ahead, I'm going to brush my hair." They nod, and walk out. With another click and steps fading out, you rush to open the drawer.

"Finally!" You grin. "No, I mustn't get too excited over this!" Untying it once more, you get to see the whole black box. Well this looks expensive. You think as you set aside the rapping paper. Opening the box, which to top is off is made out of velvet, you look inside. "Wow." "What's wow?"

Hermione walks inside with a handful of giant books. She looks over them and sees you looking at the slightly open black box. You quickly close it, and chuck it under your pillow. "What was that?" She asks: setting her books on her bed. "Nothing." You say quickly. Hermione stares at you. "Accio black box." Without another word, Malfoy's present goes flying into her hand. "Who's this from?" The bushy hair brunette asked. "No one! Give it back 'Mione!" You jump up, and grab it from her hand. "It's not from Malfoy is it?!"

You look at her and she looks back. "Y-yes." Her mouth opens as if to argue, but you cut her off. "Hermione. Look I know! But he gave it to me, I was just curious into what he gave me. Look I still won't talk to him. Just- just let me open it. Please?" The girl sighs and looks away. "Could be cursed." She says under her breath. "What?" You snap back. "I mean, look you could've angered him so much that he cursed it! I mean his parents were ex-Death Eaters! He might be practicing-" "Hermione! Stop! As much as I dislike him right now, he is NOT a Death Eater nor ever will be! Even if he wanted to, You-Know-Who is dead!" Your friend looked down. "I'm just trying to help." "Well you're not helping. Just- just please go to dinner." Hermione looks at you one last time, and goes to the door. She opens it and leaves.

"I feel like it is cursed, cursed that I'm never going to be able to see the whole thing." You say under your breath. "Okay, no more waiting." Grabbing your wand, you lock the door with the flick of your wrist. You open the box once again, but this time seeing the whole gift. "Wow."

It was a silver necklace with a crest in the front. It was the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. Bringing it to the sunlight, the light seemed to dance with the necklace. You touched the crest and it popped open. "Oh!" It was a moving picture of you and Malfoy waving at you. Both seemed so happy. A smile appeared on you. Just then you noticed another note attached to the necklace. Gently tearing it off you begin to read.

"Dear Y/N,
Ever since the moment I layed eyes on you I knew that I had to be with you. I don't want you as another one of my one night stands, I wanted you with me. I didn't know how to act around you. I knew that I acted terrible, I still do at times, but that's because I forget how to act when I'm with you." "He's so cheesy." You say while rolling your eyes. "You are an amazing witch. If one day we drift apart, I hope you will find someone who will make you happy (obviously they're not going to be as attractive as me, but then again no one is.) You deserve the world.

-Draco M."

You realize that he wrote this letter before the argument happened. Rereading the letter a few more times, you set it aside, and wonder:

Did I do the right thing?

A/N: Y'all this was such a cheesy chapter, and I'm sorry I had to put you through torture when ppl kept interrupting you lmaoooo anyways I need to do some homework, cuz like I'm totally not failing
