He hated her laugh; her smile; the thought of her being happy. 
Then he saw that very same smile slowly fade, and decided he didn't hate all that anymore. If anything he found himself wishing to see her smile again.

She hated his presence; his piercing gaze; his very existence. 
Then she saw him walk away, and decided the idea of losing him wasn't a joyful one. If anything she found herself wishing he would just stay. 

༺ ✧ ༻

I held my breath as I prepared myself for the inevitable. 
For him to voice what he'd always claimed for years.
For him to say that a life without my presence was a dream come true ever since he saw me in our first year.

"Because I have no reason to stay" his limbs stiffened as he tried to avoid making eye contact, taking me by surprise. 

"You don't have one simple reason why you-"

"Yes Grey, I don't have a simple reason why I should stay," the rest of the world seemed to simply melt and dissolve around us cause all I saw were his grey eyes. 
And right there right then a piece of me broke inside, like my whole world split into two.

I could feel my self scream on the inside, tearing my limbs apart one by one. 

𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘣𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯?

My entire being seemed to scream, however, my lips remained sealed as Draco Malfoy appeared to be millions of light years away from me, yet still between my finger tips for perhaps the very last time. 

And then he turned around and simply walked the other way. Leaving me to my conflicted existence that seemed to defy all sense of logic by wishing he'd turn around and stay. Wishing he'd find a reason. Wishing he'd let me be his reason. 

༺ ✧ ༻

They say friends to lovers is something so wholesome.
But they don't realise how sacred we are, 
Enemies to lovers,
A person who knew me for all my flaws, 
Acknowledged all my scars,
Voiced out all my ugly imperfections, 
And yet,
Loved me anyway.

Draco Malfoy: cold, distant, ignorant, rude, arrogant, and above all else, downright gorgeous. Juniper Hartley: caring, intelligent, unfathomably sweet, and above all else, downright gorgeous. As their paths cross unexpectedly and his mind bewildered with reasons he can't explain as to why he can't stop thinking about her, he's forced to examine the possibility of letting someone in, to sharing emotion with another person other than his thoughts. Dark times lie ahead in their future as Draco's family demands Death Eater, but his soul demands something, or someone, else. What lengths would you go to keep the person you love most safe? ________________________________________________ "I do believe such a place exists," he nodded, "and if we can't find it I would build you that white Tudor cottage with the stained glass windows, right on the edge of evergreen trees so that when the fog comes in the early morning, the air will be full of mist that carries their evergreen scent into that meadow full of flowers and grass." Draco spoke quietly and swiftly as if he could plan in his mind exactly how it would be, as if he could simply pick it up from his thoughts and place it in her hands so it could be her reality. Completed: 18 October 2020 ________________________________________________ #62 in #potions on 25 November 2020 DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter nor the characters. I do not own the plot of Harry Potter. I own Juniper Hartley. I own various plot ideas within this book.

He leaned back out when he was out of breath, breathing hard and staring into magnificent emerald green eyes with a visible blush on his neck and face. "I'm.... sorry," he said awkwardly, looking elsewhere but at Potter. He wasn't supposed to kiss Potter, but it was just so tempting... He felt warm hands cupping his cheeks and looked back down at Potter. "Don't apologize, Malfoy," Potter said softly, caressing Draco's cheeks with his thumbs. He doesn't know why he has his hands on Draco's cheeks, it just happened subconsciously. "I hate to admit it, but that was wonderful, and I'd do it again." Draco smiled down at Potter, feeling his cheeks burn a deeper shade of red. Potter would kiss him again? That was exciting to hear, and he would like to kiss him again too. "Yeah, it was," he said, biting his lip to stop him from sounding dreamy. "Aren't you with Weaslette though?" Potter shook his head, "Ginny's like a sister to me, but we're close." Then he hesitated and smirked at the Blonde snake above him, "Why? Jealous, Malfoy?" Draco narrowed his eyes at him. "You wish," he replied, trying to sound exactly like Potter was back in their second year. He hated when people were right other than himself. He admits that he is jealous. Jealous how Potter can get anyone he wants with just a blink of his eye. But he doesn't want anybody else, he wants Potter and he realizes it now. = It all starts when Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, and Blaise Zabini is trapped in the Room of Requirement that has been set ablaze by Vincent's Fiednfyre. What if they get help from three Gryffindor's? Will it be a new beginning for Draco, or will it all go down in flames? A story full of humour, romance, (occasional smut), fluff and more! ヽ(✿゚▽゚)ノ ᴛʀɪɢɢᴇʀ ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢ: ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ᴍᴇɴᴛɪᴏɴꜱ ᴏꜰ ꜱᴇʟꜰ-ʜᴀʀᴍ, ʙᴜᴛ ɴᴏᴛ ᴀ ʟᴏᴛ ᴏꜰ ɪᴛ!

"Mr. Malfoy, where are you going? You just woke up from a great fall after all, I'm sure your friends can come here, instead of you going to them." Who was Malfoy? Oh right, it was probably him. A little bit late, he realised that he should have told her about the complete memory loss since he had no idea where he was going to go once he left the hospital-like room. On second thought, maybe making a scene would have actually been a good idea. Well, it was too late to turn back now. "I will just be going out for a little stroll...around. I must admit that I am in dire need of some fresh air. My, how long did you say I was out for again?" He put his hand to his chest like it was an absolute travesty to have not been told. "I-uh...four days, Mr. Malfoy. You were out for four days." "Well then, I shall be going now. Toodaloo!" Madam Pomfrey stood completely frozen for a long moment like this was the exact opposite of what she expected to happen when Draco woke up. "Mr. Malfoy, wait!" The witch eventually called out, but Draco was already out of the door. Draco wakes up in the hospital wing having no idea who he is and how he got there. Turns out he fell 20 feet down the stairs and got his memory wiped. What else could go wrong? Meeting Harry Potter definitely was fun, but can he figure out who obliviated him and get his memories back? Or will he be stuck like this for the rest of his life? Drarry story Draco is best friends with Pansy, Theo, and Blaise This story is a mix between being fun and being angsty, so be prepared for sudden jumps between light and dark (I can't help how my brain thinks, just roll with it) For teen and up audiences. TW: Mentions/implied reference of child abuse and only a splash of language There will be warnings at the beginning of a chapter if necessary. The cover is the result of me being supremely bored. Yes I know it sucks but that's kind of the point because I am no editor, just ignore it as best as you can

She's a Hufflepuff {COMPLETED} (Draco x reader)

23 parts Complete Mature

Tears fell out of her bright baby blue eyes. She didn't even care her makeup was smearing. "I thought you'd changed" she choked through her latest sob . Draco stood before her, eyes clenched shut. He refused to look at her. Alice clutched her sides. It was clear to her now. It was so painfully, obviously clear. He simply didn't care. She'd been living in a fantasy. A fantasy where she and the boy she loved would live happily ever after. Another sob escaped her lips. He wanted to hold her. He wanted to kiss her. Kiss her all over, tell her it wasn't what she thought, that things weren't what they seemed. "I thought you loved me." Draco snorted. And it was in that moment, Alice knew things were over. It was that moment her world tumbled down around her. In that moment, the stars fell like rain. She pushed past him through the door. Draco let out a terrible, mangled sound. A sob broke through his teeth. It was the kind of sob that shook your entire body. The kind of sob that made your heart falter. Hot tears stung his eyes as her last words played over and over inside his mind. He hit the wall with his fists. He didn't feel the pain. He hit it again. Again. Again. He stared down at his bloody wrists. "I thought you loved me." A final sob leaking out as he cried. "So did I." (For all purposes Alice, Draco, all main characters and the Weasley twins are all in 6th year)
