3rd year potions ;) (ReaderxMalfoy)

Charades

It has almost been a week. Two more days until you can give him the answer. Every single damn day you seen him looking at you, waiting for an answer. All you do is turn around, or completely ignore him. At the point in time you have just shut yourself inside your dormitory. Ginny and Hermione bringing you food. The day after you told Ginny what had happened, you told Hermione. It took her a while to calm down, but once she did she was very understanding.

"You know...you must come out sooner or later." Hermione says to you. She sat on her bed, twiddling her thumbs. "I will, just not now right now. Oh how I'm not looking forward to Christmas." Christmas was the day you had to tell Draco your answer whether you loved him or not. "Come on. At least come down to the common room. Everyone is getting worried about you. They think you have some sort of sickness! It's been three days since you have locked yourself in the room!" Ginny exclaims. "You try and tell someone that you either love them back, or that you don't, and leave them heart broken!" You yell at them both. They sit there.

"You're right." Hermione says. Ginny looks at her with a surprise expression, she never gives up that easily. "We will leave you alone. We are always here if you need us, okay?" The brunette stood up and gave you a hug. She grabbed Ginny by the arm. "But- what- wait- hold on- oh all right. Bye." The door opened, then proceeded to close with a click.

"Great. Alone with my thoughts. Just like I wanted." You say to yourself sarcastically, pulling the sheets over you head and groaning. You lay thinking, having arguments in your head, agreeing for a minute, then disagreeing. "SCREW LOVE! IM JUST GOING TO BE SINGLE FOR THE REST OF MY FUCKING LIFE!" You throw your sheets over your head, not even realize Lavender Brown walked in. She stood at the foot of her bed: shoving a marshmallow in her mouth, looking at you. "Dako Mafo?" She asked with a full mouth.

"What?" You sit up straight, staring at her. She finished chewing her marshmallow, then sat back on her four poster bed. "Draco Malfoy." Lavender repeated again. "What do you mean." She gets her hair out of her face. "Well I only assume the person you are screaming about is your ex: Draco Malfoy. Unless for some reason you are now in love with Harry, and you know you can't love him, because he is Ginny's boyfriend, and you can't do anything-" "Lavender!" The brunette stopped speaking. "I'm not bloody in love with Harry Potter." She looks down. "Oh..." "Yeah. Although it would be a lot easier if I were." You mumble. "What was that?" Brown asked you. "Nothing. Argh! Hey, Lav?" She looks at you. "What do you do if you don't know whether or not to be with a guy?"

Lavender closed the door and once again you were alone. "Who in the wold gives advice like that? Oh yeah totally, if I can decide if I want to be with Draco, I will just fuck him! Because that's totally the one and only answer." You fall back onto your bed and groan once more in stress. "Buggar."

The night begins to fall onto Hogwarts. The birds retreat back into their homes, and the creatures in the Forbidden Forest wonder around. The light in Hagrid's hut ignites, giving a welcoming glow to whomever wants to comes. Students begin to fill their common rooms, laughter and joy fills the air: for Christmas was almost here. Snow began to fall again. The lights in Hogwarts lit up, signifying life in each room, a student or teacher enjoying the Snow from indoors. The Weasley Twins were selling jokes to poor first years that didn't know any better. Hogwarts is pure magic and joy.

"Hey errrm...Y/N? Could you maybe join everyone in the common room? We are all playing a muggle game called charades. Everyone would love it if you join?" Ginny asks you. She softy took the sheets off your head. "Do they really?" You asked her. "Well of course they do! Why wouldn't they?" She asked. "Oh I dunno, maybe they turned their backs on me when I dated Draco!" Ginny sat back against the head of the bed. "They didn't. Look, they just didn't approve, but they never turned their backs on you. I promise you that Ron and Harry didn't." The red head sighed. "While you were off with Malfoy; they told me that you should be careful. He was going to hurt you. Something was going to happen, but they never purposely pushed themselves away. You did that."

Your eyes become wide with surprise. "What? I never did such a thing!" Ginny got up. "No, you did. Look, you made sure that you didn't get hurt by pushing away others." You look down at you feet buried under the soft Gryffindor blanket. Did I really? God I'm so stupid sometimes, I can't believe I pushed them away! "But it's okay now. They forgave you, look," Ginny pointing to the door. "They are waiting in the common room right now for you. Do you think they would really wait for someone they hate?" You launch yourself onto Ginny, giving her a great hug. "Thank you, Gin. You always know how to make me happy." She puts her arms around you and hugs back. "Well, we are best friends."

"Guess who I got!" Ginny and you walk down the stairs leading into the common room with your arms hooked to one another. "Y/N! So glad you showed up! 'Mione keeps saying I cheated, she said saying 'wars' cheating!" Ron exclaim. "Because, Ronald, the movie was 'Star Wars'! Wars is in the name! Y/N, you are muggle born, right?" Hermione asks as she stands up from the sofa holding crookshanks. "Errr yeah." "You can't say the words that are in the item of which you are trying to describe correct?" She asks all at once. "Yes?" Hermione turns to Ron. "See! I told you! You have to you those ears, Ron! Maybe it's about time for you to get another haircut." She sits down again. "Why's that? I think my hair is brilliant!" Hermione rolls her eyes. "Look," She pushes his hair behind his ears. "It covered your ears. I bet you can't hear anything." "Well I could say the same thing about your bushy hair-" "Okay! We got Y/N now, so let's start a new game!" Harry announces to the everyone, he stood in the center of the room. "Ginny, Ron, 'Mione, Y/N? Ready?" You all nod.

"An owl laying an egg?!" "Ron it we aren't doing actions." "Right....An owl flying!" "That's an action!" Harry had been up for the past five minutes, but no one was getting it. "Wait! You're a Quidditch player!" Ginny and you say at the exact Same time. "Yes!" Harry points at you two, then sits next to your best friend. "Right. Who wants to go next?" Hermione asks the group. "How about Y/N? She hasn't gone up yet!" Ron volunteers you. "Oh I dunno..." "Come on! You can't do worse than Harry." Ginny says to you. "Ginny! Ron was throwing me off." Harry defends himself. "Sure, sure."

You take a paper from the cup and open it. 'Love' You chuckle. From all things. Really? Love, that's what I get? Turning around, you begin. "Professor Snape!" Ron yells. "Shut up." Hermione snaps. You first point at your heart. Nope, they didn't get it. Getting your hand, you kiss it. Nope. They start to laugh. You make a heart with your hands, Harry kept repeating "Cholesterol". Nope didn't get it. Finally finishing it off, you put it all together like a story, but end it with a broken heart. First: a crush, a kiss, love, the ending of a broken heart. Hermione and Ginny stood up. "It's love!" Harry and Ron looked amazed. "How the bloody hell did you get love out of that dance routine?!" Ron asked them. "Doesn't matter. They just did." You sit down.

"I'm so glad you joined us tonight!" Ginny says to you. After a long night of charades: the Gryffindors finally decided to go to bed. Mostly Hermione's idea. "Same here, it was nice getting out of here." You told Hermione and the redhead. "This might be bad timing," Hermione starts. "but do you have your answer?" Silence follows. Ginny looks from the brunette to you. Hermione looks at you aswell, not knowing if she should have asked or not. You look up at the ceiling, ignoring their stares. You definitely we not going to take Lavender's 'tip', but you had really no other tips. You think about all the times that Malfoy has been a bitch to you. All the times he has called you a 'filthy little mudblood' and said the worst things, but you also think of the good things. All of the good memories where (even though at that time you said you hated it) he had protected you, listened to you, kissed you, hugged, done so many nice things, any many more. Your eyes shut forcibly for a few seconds. Hermione and Ginny still wondering what you are thinking. "Sorry I should have not ask-" "Yes."

Your eyes have opened and you stare straight. "What?" Ginny and Hermione ask at the same time. "I know my answer." You fall back onto you bed. "Now all I need to do is wait."
