Draco followed Hermione into the abandoned classroom after dinner and closed the door quietly, placing several privacy wards on the room before leaning against the door. He shoved his hands into his pockets while staring at Hermione, his eyes taking in her face and the way she clenched her fists.
A heavy sigh fell from his lips as he realized that she was waiting on him.
“You wanted to talk, Granger?” He asked.
Hermione seemed to be contemplating what she was going to say as she stepped closer towards Draco. He cocked an eyebrow and gave her a lazy smirk. She huffed in annoyance at his behavior.
“You need to stop staring at me,” she finally said.
Draco gave a derisive laugh. “Pardon?”
“You’ve been staring at me these past few weeks, and Ronald has begun to notice.”
“Ronald?” Draco snorted. “I still can’t believe you’re with that weasel.”
Hermione scoffed. “Your opinion is not relevant right now, Malfoy.”
Something changed as Draco stood up taller. He leaned closer to her, and she could smell his sweet cologne. “Malfoy now, is it?”
“Draco,” she amended, tilting her head back so she could see him better. “You need to stop. We agreed that what happened between us was a mistake, and you need to honor that agreement.”
“Yes,” she snapped. “You do.”
They stared at each other for a few seconds before Draco grabbed Hermione by the waist, spinning her so that she was pressed in between him and the door. “And what if I changed my mind, Granger? What if I no longer think it’s a mistake?”
Hermione scowled despite the deep blush on her face. “Again, what you think is not relevant. I do not care about your opinion anymore.” She shoved against him until there was space between them. “Now, I will ask you once before I start hexing you in the hallways, Malfoy. Stop staring at me.”
With that, she lowered the privacy wards he had erected and left.
Draco clenched his jaw. He was a Malfoy, and Malfoys always got what they wanted.
I found these in my drafts while cleaning my Drive. I won’t be posting new content for a long time, but I wanted to share this drabble I wrote once upon a time ago. It reminds me of all the trashy smutty books I’ve been reading lately. It’s a long-loved trope.
