falling for the wrong boy; draco malfoy x reader

chapter 7.

your perspective-

When you woke up, it was around 1 pm meaning you only slept about an hour. You rubbed your drowsy eyes and sat up. A quick glance uncovered that a boy laid on Katie's bed, dead asleep. To your left, Harry laid with Fallon on Fallon's bed, also asleep. It wasn't weird to see people asleep today because the Gryffindors had a common room party last night that filled the whole castle with a rough night of sleep. (Even Harry, apparently). The boy on Katie's bed had a fair complexion and brown hair; Cedric. His arm was right above his head and and a thin blanket draped across his body. You stood up, trying to be quiet. Defying your wishes, Cedric woke up. 

His hand rubbed his hair out of his face as he turned and looked at you. You whispered, "Go back to sleep, Ced," as closed his eyes again. You grabbed a sweatshirt and slipped out of the dorm. 

When you stepped into the common room the silence hit you hard. You continued to walk down the stone stairs into the main area, the small sound of a fire rushing into your ears. What appeared to be a boy was wrapped in a blanket and was sitting in front of the fireplace. He didn't seem to notice you at first, but glanced back at you with silver eyes when you began to approach him. 

Draco.

He turned his tired, but elegant, eyes back to the fire as you took a seat next to him.

"Gryffindor party got to you, too?" He laughed a little, nodding. "For sure. So bloody loud." He turned to you a little as he said it, rubbing his eyes.  You smiled a little and turned to the fire.

Something that had confused you quite a bit was why was he nice? He was so mean to everyone else? Not you?

Odd.

draco malfoy-

The warm smell of vanilla and pine filled the room when Y/N entered. She always smelled amazing, usually having something with vanilla in her perfume. We chatted a little about the stupid Gryffindor party that they hosted last night.

Lord, you could hear their screaming throughout the castle. Their house had the most members so they always made the most noise. Not to mention they were the favorite.

She gazed into the fire's core, the reflection hitting her eyes. In less than a day, I would be taking her to the ball. Honestly, I was happy we were going together. It had really confused me when Pansy said something about her not wanting to go with me because it seemed as she wanted to go with me too.

Or maybe she was excited for the ball in general? If so, yeah.. of course same.

Instead of a black suit like I normally wore, today I wore a black pair of jeans and a green crewneck. I had on a white button up, pulling the outfit together. I had always taken pride in my outfits; keeping myself well dressed at all times. 

I glanced over at her body which remarkably was dressed in something similar. She had a green sweatshirt over her shirt and a nice pair of ripped black jeans on. 

 I stood up and went to sit on the couch. She continued to sit on the ground for a little before coming and sitting next to me.

"It's literally so cold for no reason. Old Dumblewhore can't take the time out of his day to warm this place up." She giggled a little as I shifted farther into my blanket. With a little reach, she grabbed an identical blanket off of the leather chair.

"Incendio." She whispered with the flick of her shined red finished wand. The fire lit up a little more and she snuggled closer to the couch. 

We both sat together in a comfortable silence, feeling the presence of one another. I scooted a little closer to her every once in a while.

I really didn't know what I was doing to be fully honest. She was actually quite pretty, but I don't know if she'd ever go for me. I mean I'm Draco Malfoy, but I just don't sound like someone she'd be interested in.

She took notice in my little movements, not really doing or saying anything.

Time Skip: Next day; Twenty Minutes before Draco planned to be at your dorm.

draco malfoy-

I spritzed cologne down my dark blue (almost black) suit. My hair was perfectly combed to the side, gel carefully holding it to place. I began to open the door to fulfill my plan to meet in Blaise's dorm before turning back to my dresser and slipping 3 emerald green rings on my left hand, and 2 obsidian snake rings on my right. I closed my door, violets tucked in the comfort of my hand.

I knocked on Blaise and Goyale's dorm room door and Blaise opened it. 

"Is that what you're wearing?" I looked him up and down. He wore a ugly green suit which personally looked AWFUL on him. "Dammit, Malfoy. Get in here." He pulled me into the dorm and he sat back into the loveseat that was tucked into the corner. 

"Don't touch me." I shook my arm out of his grip, my sudden anger calming. He rolled his eyes a little as Goyale came into the room. "Lord, both of you look like a mess. Prayers for your dates." I elbowed Blaise a little, laughing. 

"Prayers for you." Blaise mumbled a little. I raised my eyebrow a little bit at him, questioning. "You're going with Y/N  Ellery. Hah-" He laughed hard before I elbowed him harder.

"Shut up, Zabini. Nobody asked you what you thought about my date." He turned away quickly as I stood up, walking out of the dorm room.

"Sensitive topic, ey Malfoy?" Blaise whispered as the door closed.

I knocked on Y/N's door and muffled whispers stopped. I heard Fallon's voice yelling for Y/N. She yelled something back and Fallon opened the door. 

"She's almost done." She smiled nervously without looking at me. Her gaze fell to me when I shuffled the flowers a little. She gulped a little. "You look nice." I laughed a little and brought my eyes down. 

"Shoot Fallon, let him in..!" Y/N yelled from the bathroom. Fallon quickly opened the door, letting me in. Their dorm wasn't exactly tidy; dresses and shoes sprawled on the floor.

Fallon wore a light pink dress with lily white heels. She looked 'nice' as well.

Ha.

I waited for a few minutes, twisting my rings,  before her gorgeous brunette hair fell into my view.
