FORMERLY "A SLYTHERIN FELL FOR A RAVENCLAW"
"Did you know?" I ask Draco, unable to see him clearly through the tears.
I watch his eyes close, squeezing out tears of his own. We stand an arms length apart, but I can't find it inside myself to comfort him. He doesn't answer.
"Did you know about what happened to me?" I ask him again, more forcefully this time.
He reaches for me, but I step away. His eyes plead with me, for what I am unsure. Before he can speak, I turn away. The corridor ahead is dark, but the truth of what Draco has done is darker.

RE - EDIT STARTING SOON Being Harry Potter's twin sister wasn't easy, but being sorted into Slytherin made it even worse. Y/N Potter learned early on that she wasn't just 'the other Potter'-she was different. Clever, ambitious, and willing to do whatever it took to carve out her own identity in a world that already had expectations for her. But if there was one person who refused to let her forget where she came from, it was Draco Malfoy. From the moment they met, it was nothing but rivalry-sharp words, cutting glares, and an unspoken competition neither of them ever backed down from. But hatred is a dangerous thing. It consumes, it lingers... and sometimes, it turns into something else. As the years pass and the war looms closer, the lines between enemy and ally begin to blur. What happens when the person you swore to despise becomes the only one who truly understands you? When the boy you were meant to hate is the only one who makes your heart race?

Serpentine
I wasn't supposed to stand out at Hogwarts. I was supposed to blend in, finish the year quietly, and stay out of trouble. Then he looked at me. Draco Malfoy - the name everyone whispered like a warning. Sharp, quiet, and unreadable. The kind of boy who carried power like it belonged to him, and sin like it didn't matter. He shouldn't have cared that I existed. And maybe he didn't. But every time our eyes met, it felt like he was trying to see through me - like he already knew something I didn't. People say he's cold, cruel, dangerous. They're right. But that's not the part that scares me. What scares me is how much I want to find out what he's hiding beneath it. It isn't love. Not yet. It's something darker - something that feels like falling without the promise of being caught.
How to Kiss a Wizard
"You know what Potter... I think I'll take that offer," Draco began, walking closer towards me, backing me against the wall. "Wait, really?" I looked at him suspiciously. This was the boy who had hated me ever since I declined his handshake when we were 11... and now he was agreeing to help me. Something was up. "Yes Potter. Really. You said you'd do anything and anything means everything doesn't it?" I wanted to interrupt him there, I didn't mean everything, I opened my mouth to disagree but he carried on talking, not giving me a chance to answer. " I can use it to my advantage in the future. Who knows when I'll need it?" A smirk appeared on his lips as he eyed me up and down. I felt naked under his glance as I looked at anywhere except his face. Regret filled me once again. Maybe this wasn't the best plan, maybe I could back out now, and maybe I could just- My thoughts went blank as I felt a pair of soft lips collide with mine. Harry Potter could be considered good at everything.... except kissing. When he finds himself crushing on Ginny, who better to teach him the arts of kissing than the Draco Malfoy?

Muffliato (Draco Malfoy)
His hands gripped her waist, and his head fit perfectly in the crook of her neck. She leaned back into his chest, a small smile spreading across her face as she tilted her head to one side, allowing him to lean down and plant light kisses down her neck. Her hand reached up and curled around the back of his neck, gently pulling him down because she wanted him even closer. Her hips began swaying with the music. He tightened his grip on her waist before moving his hips as well, pressing them tight against hers. She moved her hips from side to side, the friction sending a new wave of heat through Draco. "Fuck, do that again," he muttered against her neck. │MATURE CONTENT WARNING; ALL CHARACTERS ARE 18+│ J.K. Rowling owns all of the characters except for Alora Lin.

"I know you want me Laurier" he whispered, I lifted my head up and glare at him. With every anger I seethed through gritted teeth, "Fuck you Malfoy" "Gladly Ravenclaw" He smirked. ~~ The perfect most clever girl in Harry Potter's year, Diana July Laurier, A Ravenclaw beauty. She found herself falling deeper for the notorious, bad to the bone, prejudiced and lothario Draco Malfoy. She had a crush on him for a quite a long time but it wasn't anything serious, she never intended to grasp or earn the attention of the platinum blonde haired boy, but she did. Who would've thought the Slytherin Prince would be intrigued to get to know a sharp-witted girl, full of ego and has a massive problem of perfectionism. Her slurs were perfectly calculated which pained Draco Malfoyy whenever she insulted him.

Filthy Little Secret - Draco x reader
It's dark in the closet, I can just vaguely see his features and realise how close we're standing. Like, really close. My chest is toughing his and my hand is resting on his shoulder. As I realise that, I quickly remove it. "Cozy", he whispers in my ear, which make chills run down my spine. "Shut up", I whisper. "McGonagall's class starts in ten minutes, I guess you'll be stuck in here until then", he says smirking. "I can leave at any moment", I say, glaring at him. "And then I'd follow you, and what would people think when they see us leaving a tiny closet like this, together", he whispers and God his voice makes me shiver. "You're such an arrogant git". "And you're a sad nerd". "Stupid sod!" "Pathetic halfblood" "Useless, stuck-up brat!" And then his lips collide with mine, all of the sudden, filled with passion. And I kiss him back. - This was my first HP fanfiction EVER. It's not great, but it's a quick, fun read I guess. If you want something a little more in depth and less ... cringy, I recommend checking out my other works haha All characters are owned by JK Rowling. I do NOT support JKR at all, but I wrote this fan fiction years ago when I didn't know any better, and the Harry Potter universe was a big part of my teen life. #1 in malfoyxreader #1 in dracoxreader #1 in Malfoy #1 in Pureblood #1 in PotterComplete
The Girl Who Lived (Draco Malfoy x OC)
"Must be tough, everyone loves you, don't they? So goddamn perfect. They don't see it but I do, Potter. I can see straight through you." "And what do you see, Malfoy?" "That you're a mess, aren't you?" She stared at him, rivalling his own expressionless mask. "You're the first person to say that to me." "Well of course," he swung a leg, pacing around her lazily. "Everyone is too busy seeing the hero, but when you hate someone enough, you see their flaws, their weaknesses." Her mask fell and she smiled to herself. "So you hate me?" She said, playfully. "Of course, isn't that what we do, hate each other?" The smile grew enough for dimples to appear. "I guess so." "So yes, I hate you." "I hate you too," she smiled. Draco couldn't help it, his lips tugged slightly at the corners while laughter stayed restrained in his glimmering eyes. "Good, I'm glad that's established," Draco announced. "We hate each other." --------------------------- A miserable childhood of neglect, Harper Potter needed someone to teach her the ability to love in order to overcome the darkest wizard of all time. She just wasn't expecting that someone to be the guy who taunted her every quidditch match. Featuring. Female Harry x DracoComplete
