summary; ' hi there! can I ask for a draco x reader where she only hangs out with him even though she's a slytherin (her other friends are from other houses, like the trio) and they're really good friends but they don't show that much affection towards one another, so his friends are kinda surprised when he starts acting protective of her after something happens? I'll leave the rest up to you... lots of fluff? thank you! '

"Hey, Draco?" you ask, placing your finger on the line.

"Yes?"

He's halfway across the room, using the only desk in the study room. He's leaning against his hand, reading over his own homework. When you don't respond immediately, he raises his head to look at you.

You get up from where you're sitting on the couch, cradling the book in your hand. You make a point to move his water out of the way before setting the book down, "I'm studying for the potions quiz we have tomorrow. When it says put three in, do we crush or cut?" you look at him, moving away from the book so he can read, "I don't remember putting them in whole."

Draco tilts his head to see better, "Chopped."

"So, cut?"

He looks at you, "Chopped, as in, diced."

"Oh, okay, thanks." you go back to your seat on the couch.

"Are you still going to Hogsmeade with the gryffindors later?" he asks, watching you settle back into the couch.

"Yeah, do you want to join us?" you ask him.

He rolls his eyes, turning back to his homework, "I don't pride myself in surrounding myself with insufferable–"

"They're not all that bad, Draco. If you had tried to be friends with them, you'd know this." you say, not wanting to hear him go any further. You've heard him go over this a million times.

You don't mind listening to him rant, but when it's the same subject for the hundredth time, it's time to get over it and move on. There's much better things to complain about that doesn't include his private life. In fact, you think you're pretty good at it, at this point.

If there's one thing you've learned about since being friends with Draco, it's that your private life is boring to him, especially since he can't really do anything with it. What he really wants is stuff about other people, things he can turn into rumors and, yet again, come out on top compared to others.

"It's like me asking you to be friends with my friends." Draco says.

The two of you look at each other at the same time. You snort, and he cracks a smile. And then you spot his friends coming into the common room through the doorway.

"Speaking of the devils." you slip a bookmark into the book, "They're here."

"You could stay and hang out with us." Draco offers, you're already packing your things.

"I'd rather take my chances with the insufferable dorks." you joke, "I'll catch you at dinner, yeah?"

"Yeah."

On your way out of the doorway, you see that Pansy, Blaise and the other two are coming your way. You give them a polite wave, but don't wait to see their reactions. You're not a really big fan of them, since they're the ones that are typically fueling the shit that Draco does.
