⊱ ─── ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ ─── ⊰
Your parents only ever gave you and Harry one command before your very first year at Hogwarts. Not “study hard,” not “stay out of trouble,” not even “stick together.” No. It was a singular warning, sharp and unwavering, as you stood on Platform 9¾ with your trunks at your feet and nerves buzzing under your skin.
James Potter crouched in front of you, eyebrows furrowed beneath his messy hair, and pointed at both of you as if branding the rule into your very soul.
“You do not go near a Malfoy,” he said with finality.
“Ever,” Lily echoed, folding her arms across her chest.
You and Harry glanced at each other, unsure whether to laugh or panic. But neither of you asked questions. You didn’t have to. Their faces were carved from stone—resolute, nostalgic, and more than a little haunted.
So you promised.
And for the first few years, you kept that promise.
⸻
You were now heavily making out with Draco Malfoy.
Pressed against the stone wall behind the library, hidden in the shadows, you felt his fingers tangle in your hair as his lips moved hungrily against yours. Your heart pounded like it always did when he touched you—half from the thrill, half from the guilt.
You broke the one rule your parents gave you. And you broke it over and over again.
You didn’t mean to fall for Draco Malfoy. You really didn’t. He was cold and smug, always armed with some sharp-tongued remark. But there was something about him that you couldn’t shake—something that got under your skin.
Maybe it was the way he looked at you when he thought no one was watching. Or the way he softened, just slightly, when you were alone. Maybe it was the fact that he saw you when so few people did.
Whatever it was, you fell. Hard.
The worst part? You didn’t regret it.
Your relationship wasn’t born from passion—it was born from quiet. From shared detentions, lingering glances, sarcastic bickering that slowly melted into warmth.
It started in fifth year, during a late-night prefect patrol, when you caught Draco staring up at the stars through one of the Astronomy Tower windows.
“I thought you didn’t care about anything that wasn’t gold or pureblood,” you had teased.
“I don’t,” he’d replied, smirking. Then, after a pause:
“Except maybe this.”
He never said what “this” meant. But he didn’t have to.
You kept it hidden. For nearly a year, you and Draco became masters of secrecy. Carefully choreographed exits, notes passed in books, fleeting touches under desks. No one suspected a thing. Not your friends. Not Harry. Not your parents.
Until the day the secret fell apart.
It started with a storm.
You and Draco had snuck off to the boathouse, hoping to escape the castle for an hour. The rain came fast, wind howling against the windows. You lit your wand and wrapped yourselves in a conjured blanket, curled together on the old wooden bench. He kissed you, slow and soft, the way he always did when he was trying not to say something out loud.
And then—click.
You both froze.
In the doorway stood Colin Creevey, camera in hand, eyes wide.
“Colin,” you said, your voice weak. “You can’t—please don’t—”
But he was already running. Already shouting your name and Draco’s down the corridor.
By the time you returned to the castle, the damage was done.
You walked into the Great Hall for dinner and the noise immediately dipped into silence. Dozens of heads turned. Murmurs passed like wildfire through the room.
“Potter’s daughter and Malfoy?”
“James Potter’s going to kill him.”
“Bloody hell, are they serious?”
You held Draco’s hand anyway.
Even though Ron gawked at you like you’d lost your mind. Even though Hermione looked at you like she was calculating seventeen different ways your life was about to fall apart.
Even Harry, sitting at the far end of the Gryffindor table, stood up and walked out the moment you sat down.
He didn't talk to you for a month.
You were dreading the Easter holidays.
The moment you stepped off the train at King’s Cross, the pit in your stomach grew heavier. Your parents were waiting by the barrier, smiling—until they saw you walking hand-in-hand with Draco Malfoy.
James’s smile vanished.
Lily blinked like she was sure she was seeing things.
“Draco,” you said carefully, “maybe I’ll see you later—”
But James was already storming forward.
“Is this a joke?” he snapped. “Please tell me this is some Slytherin dare.”
“Dad—”
“No, no, no, don’t Dad me—you promised. You promised us!”
“I didn’t plan this—”
“Damn right you didn’t!” James shouted, voice cracking. “He’s a Malfoy! Do you have any idea what that family stands for?”
Draco, to his credit, didn’t say a word. He just nodded once at James, then looked at you with something unreadable in his eyes.
“I’ll see you later,” he murmured, and disappeared into the crowd.
Back home, the air was thick with silence.
Lily sat across from you at the kitchen table, her hands wrapped around a cooling cup of tea. James paced by the fireplace like a storm cloud.
“I knew you’d rebel eventually,” James muttered. “But I didn’t think you’d break our one rule.”
“I’m not rebelling,” you said. “I’m in love with him.”
The room froze.
Lily’s eyes softened. “Sweetheart…”
“He’s not Lucius,” you said, voice shaking. “He’s not cruel. He’s not obsessed with bloodlines. He’s nothing like the stories you told us.”
“And what if you’re wrong?” James asked, quieter now. “What if he hurts you?”
“Then he hurts me,” you said. “But at least it’s my choice.”
That night, you lay in your old bed, staring up at the enchanted ceiling James had painted for you when you were little—charmed to mirror the sky above Godric’s Hollow. Stars blinked back at you as your heart twisted with everything left unsaid.
You reached under your bed and pulled out the small, rectangular piece of enchanted slate. A matching one sat in Draco’s room at the Manor. You’d created them together last year in secret—a charmed chalkboard where whatever you wrote appeared on the other’s board in real time. Just one more way to stay close without being caught.
You held the chalk in your hand for a long moment, unsure what to say. But then, your fingers moved instinctively.
Are you still there?
A few seconds passed.
Then, slowly, a response appeared, the words etching themselves across the slate in Draco’s neat, angular handwriting:
I’m still here. If you still want me.
Your breath caught.
You smiled softly, heart aching with everything you felt and everything you chose.
You pressed the chalk to the board again.
Always.
You were told to never go near a Malfoy. But you did.

a/n: i haven’t written for the og husband in soooo long
Maybe you were being a little too loud during Potions, or maybe you were busy scribbling away on your parchment, but neither of those things warranted you to be partnered up with Harry Potter for an important project in the only class you knew you could pass in your sleep.
At first, you didn't necessarily mind because the project did seem easy enough. But that wasn’t until you found out how terrible the boy was in class—and you already knew he was bad at potions. It seemed like Harry would always mess up the simplest recipes because he misread something and would nearly cut himself while holding the knife the wrong way.
How does one not know how to hold a knife properly?
You honestly wished you could complain about him to his face, but you guessed Harry was technically your friend, and if you complained to Snape, he would just continue to partner you with Harry since it was amusing to him to see one of his best students struggle with his worst student.
Some head of your house.
So, unfortunately, that's how you found yourself studying up until midnight with Harry, who seemed to have a little too much fun laughing at all the ingredient names—specifically the plants. You were starting to get bored with the stupid jokes, and you wanted to spend time on your Transfiguration work before your partner for that class got upset with you not pulling your weight— Wait.
"Shit!" Your eyes widened as you quickly packed your things up, ignoring Harry's confused gaze. You began to speak fast, looking down at your watch every few seconds like the time would magically rewind. "I forgot that Draco and I have to finish our essay for Transfiguration—"
"I'm sure he'll be fine." Harry waved the thought off before earning an annoyed look from you, making him frown in surprise that you were so eager to leave him. If he was being honest, he would think you would love to spend more time with the chosen one instead of the blonde. "If it's that important—"
"It is." You interrupt with a set tone and pull your bag over your shoulder, glancing at your watch one last time before meeting his eyes for what seemed like the first time this evening. You sighed when you saw the look of disappointment on his face, hesitating before speaking. "Look, I'm sorry, Harry. I'll see you tomorrow, alright? We can finish the project then."
Just before you could walk out, Harry stood up faster than a beater could hit a bludger toward the opposing team. You looked at him with creased brows and mild irritation as he spoke.
"I can walk you back. It's late anyway." He grabbed his own books and parchment with little to no writing, making you sigh and tuck a piece of hair behind your ear. "Slytherin common room, right?"
"Yeah." You mutter and tighten your hold on your bag, stepping a little further away from Harry when he got too close to you for your liking.
The walk down to the dungeons was awkward—well, more so than usual. Every time you tried to start a simple conversation about anything your mind could come up with, you would only get small responses back, making it a little frustrating until you finally made it to the stone wall that hid the Slytherin Common Room and dorms.
It was stupid of him to extend an offer and not commit to the bit—it was annoying, really.
"This is my stop." You say stiffly and turn toward the wall when he didn’t respond, muttering the password and watching the stone wall reveal the entrance to the common room with stone snakes circling the door. "Thanks for walking me back, Harry."
"Of course." He gave you a small smile—one that irked you oddly. Harry watched you step up toward the door before speaking up a little too loudly than what was expected in the dungeons at this time of night. "Could I ask you something?"
"Yeah, what's up?" You ask quickly, looking down at your watch again and pursing your lips as the second hand kept ticking.
You even swore it was ticking faster than it usually did.
Harry cleared his throat and fumbled over his words, not noticing you wince at his voice crack. "Would you—I don't know—like to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend? Not for studying, but you know—as a date."
Your eyes widened for the second time tonight, your hand instinctively clutching the necklace around your neck like it would protect you. "Oh, Harry— I—"
"Dossett!" You heard a voice—Pansy—seethe from the entrance of the Slytherin Common Room, your head whipping around to the sound of her voice. "Draco’s going to literally kill you.”
"Is he there?" You murmur in her direction, ignoring Harry’s impatient foot tapping on the stone floor. Who was he to be this impatient when he kept you up at the library until 12 AM because he was laughing at ingredient names? Some chosen one he was.
But could you really blame him? He technically wasn't raised to have proper manners—
"Yes." She said through a smile when she noticed Harry looking at her like a crazy woman, Blaise and Theo's heads peeking from behind her. She rolled her eyes and looked back at you, shoving Blaise and Theo's heads back into the common room. "He can hear you both very clearly."
"Shit." You groan and wave her off swiftly, looking back at the boy who decided to make your night a living hell. "Harry, I seriously have to go, okay? Have a good night."
You entered the Common Room and winced when you heard him call out for you again, your eyes drifting toward the leather chair by the fireplace. Draco was sitting there, eyes trained on a textbook he stopped reading the moment he heard your voice through the stone walls.
Maybe you shouldn't have wished Harry a goodnight.
Pansy, Theo, and Blaise were huddled on the couch opposite of him, their own eyes darting between yours and Draco like they were watching a drama show. All they were missing was a large bucket of butter popcorn—ranch for Theo. If they knew any better, they would’ve returned to their own dorms the moment you entered the Common Room with a guilty face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stay out that late, but Harry kept going on about how all the plants where named funny." You took a seat beside him, frown deepening when he didn't even acknowledge you with as much as a nod. "Draco."
"What?" He muttered.
You hold back a heavy sigh and look up at the your friends across from you both, nodding your head to the side. They gave you a strained smile and finally left for their own dorms, leaving you and Draco alone in the Common Room.
You waited a little longer until you heard their footsteps retreat fully, your gaze going back to the platinum blonde who looked like a pouty toddler. It was funny that the man who seemed so powerful and uncaring to the rest of the world looked so dejected when presented in front of you because you were out with his supposed mortal enemy.
"What's wrong this time?" You asked and took the heavy textbook from his hands, watching his fingers curl around nothing.
"Oh, nothing. Just the fact that the Golden Boy takes up every single second of your day now, and even offered to take you on a date this weekend." Draco huffed and spun the signet on his finger, the M flashing from the fireplace to his left.
"I didn't say yes." You creased your brows together and tried meeting his eyes.
"You didn't say no either." He pushed his hair back and stared down at the burning fire this time; the red and orange flames reflected in his eyes. "So what? You and Potter are dating?"
"What? Draco, I could never date him. He's not my type." You fiddle with your silver necklace again, catching his gaze wander over to your hand before he looks away. You tilt your head, voice quiet. "You know what my type is."
"Do I?" He crossed his arms and leaned back on the leather chair, his gray eyes boring into the Black Lake window instead, everything far too dark to even see anything out of it. "Enlighten me."
"Draco, you're jealous." You finally say without any precaution, putting a hand on his arm and grabbing his attention again. You rack your brain for ideas. "If you really think about it, I spend more time with you than Harry every week."
"Not today." He lolled his head to the side and ignored your attempts, still choosing to be a pouty toodler.
You were getting close to ripping your hair out with how jealous and childish he was acting, but you could only do so much. All you had to do was be patient and wait for his resolve to crumble.
"Draco, look at me." You reach out for him and tilt his chin, meeting his stormy eyes that always showed you more emotion than the rest of his body. "Whose old jersey do I wear to quidditch games?"
Silence filled the air while you waited for an answer, his eyes looking between yours before he finally answered, voice quiet compared to the beat of both your hearts.
"Mine."
You nodded slowly, "Whose dorm do I go to when I need to talk to someone?"
He sighed through his nose, his hands wiping up and down his pants. "Mine."
"Who do I trust beyond all measures that they were all my firsts?" You say and let your hands fall away from his face, head tilting to the side. When he didn't answer, you softly spoke again. "Draco—?"
"Me." He groaned and pulled you into his arms, dropping his head to your neck and muttering into your skin. "You hate me for reminding me about those things."
"I like you, that's why." You retort and run your fingers through his hair, his natural hair shape returning after all the gel was worn down from how many times he ran his fingers through it. "You're just always jealous when I'm out with people without you."
"I ought to transfigure him into a stool." He murmured and brought his cold hand under your sweater, tracing your spine with his index finger. He earned a tongue click from you, but he continued his ministrations. “You’re making me look like a fool in front of the boys.”
“And Pansy.” You corrected with an amused grin, laughing when he pulled you forward so you were resting on top of him. You put your palms on his chest and scrunch your nose, “I'm just letting you know right now, if your godfather pairs me with Harry Potter again, we're gonna have serious problems."
Draco chuckled and squeezed your waist, “I’ll let him know you’re threatening him.”
“You suck.” You groan and rest your chin on his chest, smiling up at him before your hand came up to fidget with the platinum blonde lock in front of his forehead. You twist it in between your fingers, not noticing his smile as he watches you. "Do you still want to stay up and finish our project? Or will it be a tomorrow morning issue?"
“I already finished the project while you were away.” He murmured and adjusted his hold on you, humming when your nails scratched his scalp.
You watch his eyes close for a second before realizing what he had said, smacking his chest with no real force. “Dray, that’s not fair. I barely did any work during class the other day.”
“You can make it up.” He said offhandedly, lips twitching into a tiny smirk when you stilled all movements. He popped an eye open when you stopped scratching his scalp, “What?”
“You know, you’re a very possessive man, Draco.” You say when you snap back into reality, shuddering ever so slightly when his cold hands snuck up your sweater once more.
He pressed a kiss to the top of your head, “Only to what’s mine.”
Summary: When a study session with your boyfriend turned turns into bickering, it quickly becomes a battle of pride, neither you nor Draco were willing to admit who’s wrong
Warnings: no use of y/n
Cw: fluff kinda
Wc: 1k
A/n: short one for now bc a new series is coming soonnnn and also yes I’m posting every day… I write at night before I sleep and just queue everything like a maniac cause I’m literally free this whole two weeks lol
It had started, like most things between you and Draco, with one of you being wrong.
The problem was that both of you were too stubborn to admit they’re wrong.
You were sitting across from each other at your usual table in the Slytherin common room, the one closest to the fire that you had silently claimed as yours. Books were open, parchment was everywhere, and at some point in the last hour the studying had quietly turned into an argument, the way it always did, the way you both privately looked forward to even though neither of you would ever say so out loud.
"That's wrong," Draco said, not even looking up from his essay.
"It's not wrong."
"It's literally wrong."
"Draco, I swear—"
"Swear all you want," he said, finally glancing up at you with that expression — the calm and unbothered cause he knew he had you — "you're still wrong."
You grabbed the textbook and flipped it open with more force than necessary, the pages fanning out before you found the right one. You slid it across the table so hard it nearly knocked over his inkpot. He caught it without even flinching, which was deeply annoying, steadying it with one hand while he read the page with the other. It took him about five seconds. Then he looked up at you with the single most irritating expression you had ever seen on a human face in your entire life.
"Fine," he said.
You blinked. "Fine what?"
"You're right."
There was a pause while you processed that. "What?"
"Don't make me say it again."
"No, no, hold on," you said, sitting up straighter, "I want to make absolutely sure I heard that correctly, because I could've sworn that you just said—"
"I will take it back."
"You literally cannot take back being wrong—"
"Watch me," he said simply, and pulled the textbook back toward him.
You grabbed it. He grabbed it back without missing a beat, and suddenly you were both holding opposite ends of it, leaning forward across the cluttered table toward each other. He raised one eyebrow, slow and deliberate, like he was daring you to do something about it. You were very aware that his face was about a foot from yours. You were not going to think about that.
"Let go," you said.
"You let go."
"I had it first."
"I need it for my essay," he said pleasantly.
"You just said I was right, so clearly you've already learned what you needed to—"
"I said you were right once," he said, "not that I'd learned anything from it."
From across the common room, Blaise looked up from his own homework for what had to be the fourth time. He looked at Pansy, who was sitting beside him on the sofa with her chin in her hand, watching the two of you with patient, hollow-eyed expression of someone who had been through this many times before and had quietly stopped expecting it to end any differently.
"Are they flirting or fighting?" a fifth year whispered from one of the armchairs.
"I genuinely cannot tell anymore," someone else whispered back.
You let go of the textbook at the exact same moment Draco did. It dropped flat on the table between you with a dull thud. He smoothed down the pages very calmly with his palm, taking his time about it, unbothered in the way that only someone who had won could afford to be unbothered. You pushed your hair back, straightened your parchment, and looked back at your own essay with the dignity of someone who had absolutely not just been in a tug of war over a Potions textbook.
The fire crackled. Someone on the sofa turned a page.
"You have ink on your face," Draco said, after a moment.
You looked up. "Where?"
He didn't answer. Instead he leaned across the table, reaching over all the clutter between you, and wiped it off your cheek with his thumb. He did things like that sometimes without making it a big deal— small, quiet things and the worst part was that it always caught you off guard no matter how many times it happened. It was kind of his way showing you, he cared.
He sat back and picked up his quill like nothing had happened.
"You could've just told me," you said.
"That was faster," he said, eyes on his essay.
"It really wasn't."
He didn't answer, which meant he knew you were right about that one and wasn't going to give you the satisfaction.
You looked back at your own parchment, trying to find your place again. The common room had settled back into its usual quiet, the fire warm at your side, the dark water of the lake pressing soft and still against the windows. Normally this was the part of the evening where the two of you actually got work done, riding the calm on the other side of whatever argument had just burned itself out. Normally.
"Your essay has a mistake in the second paragraph," Draco said.
You didn't look up. "No it doesn't."
"Third line."
"It's fine, Draco."
"It's going to cost you marks," he said.
"My essay," you said, setting your quill down and looking up at him, "is perfect."
He looked at you over the top of his parchment with an expression that was doing a lot of work. His eyes were calm and grey and faintly lit up in a way that had nothing to do with the fire. "Nothing is perfect," he said.
"I am," you said.
Something shifted in his face. It was quick, just a flicker, like a door opening and closing before you could see inside — the way he was always almost smiling around you and pretending he wasn't. He looked back down at his essay. "Read the third line," he said.
You looked at the third line of your essay. You read it once. You read it again. You read it a third time and felt a very specific, very unpleasant feeling settle somewhere low in your stomach, the feeling of someone who is about to have to be quiet about something.
"It's fine," you said.
"It's wrong."
"It's the stylish way of writing—"
"You wrote the wrong name."
You opened your mouth.
"You wrote Golpalott," he said, very calmly, "when you meant Gamp."
There was a pause. A fairly long one.
"That's," you started, "a really easy mistake to make."
"They sound nothing alike."
"They both start with G."
"So do a lot of words," he said. "That's not a defense."
"At least Golpalott sounds better than whatever that is. Come on, who names someone Gamp."
"Just fix it,"he said, fighting the urge to crack a smile.
"I will fix it," you said, with great dignity, "when I'm ready."
He put his quill down. Slowly. Then you saw his shoulders move, just slightly, and you realised that he was laughing. Quietly, with his mouth pressed together, but laughing.
"Are you laughing at me?"
"No," he said.
"You're literally laughing at me right now."
"I would never," he said, which was such an obvious lie that it looped back around to being almost impressive.
The problem, was that him laughing made something in your chest go soft and stupid regardless of what you did about it. He had the kind of laugh he kept small and close, the kind he didn't give out to just anyone, and even when it was at your expense it still felt like something you'd been handed. You had never told him that. You were never going to tell him that.
"I hate you," you said instead.
"Fix your essay," he said.
"I genuinely, deeply hate you."
"I love you too," he said, your cheeks burned red from that sudden confession.
You picked up your quill and crossed out the third line with more force than was remotely necessary, pressing hard enough that the parchment dented. Draco watched you do it in silence, wearing the calm expression of someone who had won and was being very mature about it — which meant he was being smug, but quietly, which was somehow worse.
"Thank you," he said, when you were done.
"Don't."
"Very mature."
"Draco, I will actually—"
"Shh." He reached across the table and tapped the top of your parchment twice with two fingers, light and easy. "Write."
You looked at his hand. He hadn't pulled it back. It was just resting there, near the edge of your parchment, close to yours. You looked up at him and found him already looking back at his own essay, quill moving, like he hadn't noticed. Like it was nothing. He was very good at that — making things seem like nothing while they were quietly everything.
You turned back to your essay and started writing.
The common room had gone properly quiet now, the kind of quiet that settled in late at night when most people had drifted off to bed and left only the fire and the low sound of quills on parchment. It was the kind of quiet that you had come to think of as yours, specifically — yours and Draco's — something that existed on the other side of all the noise you made together.
After a few minutes, his pinky finger hooked over yours where your hand rested on the table. He didn't look up. He didn't say anything. It was such a small thing, barely anything at all, just the side of his hand against yours, but he did it the way he did all the quiet things.
You didn't say anything either. You just wrote, and he wrote, and the fire burned low and warm beside you.
From the sofa, Pansy glanced over at the two of you. She looked at Blaise. Blaise looked back at her. Neither of them said anything for a moment.
"They're so annoying," she said finally, quiet enough that it wouldn't carry.
"I know," Blaise said.
"It's actually kind of disgusting."
"I know," he said again, and smiled at his book, and turned the page.
Synopsis: The walls of Hogwarts contain many secrets of their own, but on a late night, you and Draco Malfoy find yourselves uncovering one of your very own.
“Is it true,” Draco begins, voice ragged and rough around the edges, “that everything in this blasted castle resets at midnight?”
You watch the way the hem of his ebony robe propels on a soft wind over the dusty cobblestone tiles of the corridor. He remains a few strides ahead as he always does, walking quickly, yet aimlessly. He’d once told you it’d been his way of deflecting attention. If his eyes remained straight ahead, naturally he’d be unaware that you’re following his every move or anyone else for that matter.
So, you trail him inconspicuously, keeping your eyes glued to the empty corridor walls, the back of his robe, and his platinum hair with no real destination in your mind either. Your only goal is not getting caught alone with him this late in the night when students are forbidden to be outside of their dorms. If one were to stop you two, say a professor, you’d both lie and say you were returning to your respective areas. Draco’s speed walking would be believable enough.
“I’m sure there may be some logic behind that, but ultimately, I doubt it…”
“And you and Potter? Did that relationship reset at midnight? Better yet, what’s the logic behind that?”
Draco practically spits the words out in spite and you come to a sudden halt as they echo throughout the corridor. His words are far too large for a space so empty, for a space where perked, attentive ears may overhear or eavesdrop. In a corridor where lurking eyes may pry around corners in search of the next day’s gossip, you have to be careful. It’d happened before, not to you and Draco, but other students, and their secret escapades had been aired out to all who dared to listen over the next morning’s pumpkin juice. Yet, Draco cares more about this than the idea of being caught and the risk of detention. You can sense it in the way his shoulders and back stiffen with his walk.
Tossing your left arm over your right, you give the upper portion a soft squeeze while inhaling deeply through your nose. Dust tickles your nostrils and the faint smell of leftovers fill the air. You take in the toastiness of roasted chicken, the garlicky herbs that had been marinated into bite-sized potatoes, the sweet cinnamon sugar coating that had been dusted over pumpkin pasties and handcrafted pies, and the savory aroma of buttered rolls as they all congregate in a single whiff. With a sharp exhale through your mouth, you spew your thoughts.
“And who told you that? Your loyal gang of servants over this morning’s breakfast? Crabbe and Goyle? Zabini perhaps? Is that why you avoided me in Potions today?”
Draco stops mid-step and glances down at the obsidian leather crafting the wholecut Oxford shoes laced at his feet. His inhale is just as sharp as your exhale had been and he spins on the heel so quickly that the violent whip of his robe is enough to take your breath away, even several steps away. His eyes laser in on you and the space between your bodies suddenly feels smaller. Tighter. Suffocating.
His strides are few, long and confident, and you know he’ll land in front of you before you have a chance to finalize your true opening argument. With the click, clack, clicking of his expensive shoes bringing him closer, you whimper.
“It doesn’t matter who told me. I want to know if it’s true. What they’re saying about you and Potter getting back together, dating again, and when you were planning to tell me. All these nights we’ve been sneaking about the castle together and you didn’t bother mentioning it,” he hisses the words in a rush and sneers at the thought of you with the oh so perfect chosen one while he’s left on the sidelines. “You didn’t tell me you were considering it, considering him again. You didn’t mention it on the observation deck of the Astronomy Tower, not in stacks of the Restricted Section, not in your dorm nor mine, and certainly not here, in this blasted corridor. Why not mention it a week ago when y—“
“Don’t finish that sentence, Draco,” you snarl.
His brows pinch at the challenge, but your eyes go wide in alert from the words you know were close to escaping his lips. Lewd and shameful they would have been had they reached the atmosphere. You glance up and down the seemingly void corridor with those same wild, worried eyes. You know how things can be twisted to snare even the brightest and most innocent of witches, but the words that clung to his tongue wouldn’t need to be twisted in order to ruin you both. Your quick search is fruitless and you let out a shaky sigh while rolling your shoulders back.
“I was going to tell you, Draco, that I was considering it… considering him, again.”
“When?” He demands. “Or were you going to wait until my tongue was halfway down your throat? Again.”
“Before, of course! Merlin… What kind of girl do you take me for, Draco?”
“You and I know exactly what kind of girl you are,” Draco retorts and studies you smugly.
His lips seal in a tight line and fire and ice blaze in the depths of his eyes before he spins once more and storms off in a blinding rage. You watch as he strides off prematurely, before hearing you out. He mutters something about how he knew things were too good to be true as he continues down the endless hall. You watch the way his hand clasps the nape of his neck under his long blonde hair and he keeps it there for a good while.
Once you gather your own thoughts, you hurry your strides in an attempt to mirror him, but you struggle to keep up with his head start and longer strides. The perks of being tall, you remind yourself. When you do catch up, he’s almost at the very end of the corridor, a dead end anyways, but you snatch him to a halt by the hood of his robe.
Draco falters and lets out a guttural groan when the sound of a ripping seam cuts through the silent air in response.
“You’ll pay for this, Y/ln!”
You feel prepared now. You’re ready to make your argument, to stand your ground, to explain yourself. You know that you have the right words sorted out and that with Draco cornered, he’ll have to listen.
Until he turns to face you.
His pink lips are pulled into a grimacing tight-lipped frown and an indented line appears down the center of his forehead where his thick brown brows are drawn together. His eyes shift over your features erratically before settling on yours, sharp like a double edged dagger ready to pierce. Two furious, impenetrable walls of frozen silver. Your body frosts over and you shrink where you stand. You struggle to meet his gaze and chew on the inside of your cheek as your mind goes blank.
You can’t think.
You can hardly breathe.
And when Draco opens his mouth, you wonder how you’re still alive when your heartbeat is racing so rapidly that your chest could easily explode.
“Tell me, Y/n,” he seethes.
A violent flame dances behind the walls of ice in his irises as his gaze flickers over the features of your face in frustration. Your lips are reddened and cracked from nibbling at them in nervousness and your nose appears swollen and puffed as if you’re attempting to hold back tears. Draco would usually swallow his pride seeing you in such a state, but he needs answers, so he settles on the wildness behind your dark eyes before continuing.
“Tell me,” he repeats. “When he fucks you, do you think of me?”
Your eyes dart towards his and your cheeks grow unbearably hot. You choke on the words as if you’re the one who dared spout them out. You’ve never experienced Draco this livid. You’d never heard his words become this vulgar, at least not with you, and that makes you all the more nervous. You’d convinced yourself that these nightly escapades meant nothing to him, that you were nothing more than a girl he could use or discard at his own will. He’s Draco Malfoy for heaven’s sake, and he could have any girl he pleased, that had come with the territory of having power and money at your disposal. You’d thought tonight would be the last night when you’d received his owl and that he’d be alright with that fact.
Clearly you’ve never been more wrong in your entire life.
You watch his tongue glide across the smooth plains of his natural pink lips and the fire blazing quietly in the torches overhead reflect a glistening orange on the thin coat of saliva left behind. You fixate on his features, from those shimmering lips up to the bridge of his nose. Your eyes roam up to the very roots of his platinum blonde hair before retracing your gaze and focusing on his eyes once more. They’ve softened a bit, not from the fire in the torches, but from the fire now kindling between you two.
He lets out a scoff as if he’s annoyed by you, as if you’ve been the pain in his arse all along. Before your brain can register the noise that escapes the base of his throat for a second time, he delves into you.
His lips are the first part of his body that comes into contact with yours. They’re warm against yours and so pillowy soft that you can’t bear pulling away. Instead, you bring your arms up to his collarbones and allow your index finger and thumb to mold into the curved base of his long neck. His artery pulses wildly underneath your grasp and your heart warms at the rhythmic expansion. You love the feeling, the palpitating of thick blood quickening through his body, underneath his skin, all livened by your touch.
Draco takes the final step to close your bodies together more comfortably and brings his arms around your waist to mold you into the perfect contours of his slender body.
“I can’t stop,” he mutters against your mouth and drops his lips into the crook of your neck. “I don’t want to stop, Y/n.”
He knows this will ruin you. It does every single time. With his lips against your neck and his words growing more desperate, lower and needier with each breath. You know exactly what he’s playing at. And yet, you allow your head to tilt back for more. More. More. And more. You’ll always need more of this, more of him. You rake a hand through the hairs lying against the nape of his neck. They’re course, yet silky in your gentle grasp and you close your eyes to the ceiling with a sweet smile as it drives him deeper into your flesh.
“Draco,” you purr.
He doesn’t bother responding with words. He only deepens the way he’s been working his lips against your flesh before allowing his burning tongue to trace a long column up the full length.
With this, you know exactly what is going to happen tonight and you take no desire in stopping it, not for Harry’s sake nor anyone else’s. In this very moment, it’s just you, Draco, and your desperate need for each other.
Need is a fickle thing and the need had begun long ago, long before your months of sneaking around to be together. It started when you were with Harry and Draco’s icy eyes would meet yours from across the room. Potions, the Great Hall, Herbology. Hell, even during their Quidditch practices. Somehow his eyes had always found yours in every room, and perhaps, some part buried deep inside of you liked it.
Every single glance had you feeling things Harry never made you feel during your three years of dating. It’s made you feel warm and dizzy as if you were going mad. Yet, nothing truly begun when you’d ended things with Harry. It’d been just before Christmas break. Harry planned to return home for its duration, so you had the comfort of knowing he’d be able to mend himself surrounded by those he loved, family and friends, while you stayed behind.
All your friends had called you mad when they discovered your frequent whereabouts—studying with Draco in the courtyards, his frequent smirks gifted across the dining tables during breakfast or dinner, his need to suddenly partner with you in Potions right after the break. You never truly expected them to understand the hungriness of your yearning for each other, that need for constant contact. Something in Draco’s presence had brought you back to a primal state of being, of craving and desire. Something feral melded in the deepest parts of your core and engraved itself in your very bones when his eyes met yours, but you couldn’t tell your friends that. So, instead of going behind Harry’s back, this is the alternative. This is freedom.
Draco takes a single step back and relishes the way you shiver when he releases a cool breath against the wet trail he’d left behind. He watches you slowly unravel from the ribbon of your high while shuffling out of his robe. Your eyes remain glassy and wide, glazed with lust as you work off his tie and snake it around your own neck before moving in to unbutton his shirt. The shiny black buttons are slick against your fingers as you round them out of each hole. One by one they expose a pinch more of his creamy white skin, so smooth and pale and familiar, and your mouth froths at the sight.
Draco manages to remove his belt from the buckle and unbutton his pressed trousers as you work at the buttons. By the time you’ve finished unhooking the last, his pants pool around his ankles with a soft thud. He backs you against an opening and hoists you up on the ledge of one of the many oversized lattice windows lining the corridor wall. Silver moonlight plays in the sharp grayish hues of his irises and you watch it as he focuses on you. He kneels to work your black stockings off and your stomach knots. He’s become quite the expert in doing this, managing to get the black fabric off and having your skirt and panties out of sight within seconds.
Draco smirks, a cocky smile that reflects his satisfaction after they plop onto the floor with a quiet thud. He drapes your legs over his forearms, hooking his arms underneath your knees, and stares into the void between your bodies. Your brows furrow as you study him. You swear you can sense worry creeping over his features. Perhaps the thought of you going behind Harry’s back has him rattled, or perhaps the idea of getting caught, even though you two never have before.
He relaxes his shoulders and lets out a sigh that would’ve gone unnoticed had you not been watching him. But the worry slips away just as quickly as it’d come, and in a few blinks of your eyes, the only evidence remaining is the gentle twinkle in his eyes when they finds yours again.
Murals of silvery grey fall upon you as the pressure between your thighs rings sharp. You need this just as much as he does. There are no games and the foreplay remains the small tiff you two just had as the aching pleasure of him slipping against you engulfs all your senses. You gasp in relief, eyes lowering at the feeling of his stiff sex gathering your sticky arousal. He teases your bottom lip with his tongue and grazes his chill breath over your warmth.
Draco watches you squirm uncomfortably on the stone ledge. He has to admit that this wasn’t the best place for sex and he hates the idea of your bare ass plastered on the dusty, frigid sandstone bricks, but he couldn’t help himself. He couldn’t wait until one of you found a more respectful place to relieve yourselves. He couldn’t be bothered either when he’d led you to the stacks of the Restricted Section for the first time months ago during Christmas break, nor when he’d taken you in his dorm knowing his friend’s would be asleep in the same room. The list goes on, and yet, he needs you just the same now. He would’ve taken you in the Great Hall if he had to, would have risked everything to have lain you out like his own personal spread to devour whole. That’s how crazy you drive him, that’s how mad you make him feel, and he can’t wait another second. Not even when the idea of betraying Potter in such a way lurks heavily in the back of his mind, even after the whispers, the rumors of you two being back together. It’s the ultimate betrayal, but he cannot stop himself. He has no control over this.
Your mouth parts to let out a moan. As it does, Draco places his palm firmly over it, covering those beautiful lips and muting the sound before slithering between your decadent folds. His teeth sink into his bottom lip to rein in his own pleasure. You feel like a tight hug and he almost loses himself in the feeling. So warm, so comforting, so cruelly wet. Aside from the last fact, he’s sure this is what heaven feels like, what home should feel like, and he knows he can’t let this go. He can’t let this feeling of belonging be stripped away if he finally gets a say in it.
Your head rolls back with the first snap of his hips and you mewl softly. It’s only been two days and you’d magically forgotten how delicious and blissful the first taste of his cock is. You’d forgotten the pleasure in feeling his heat and hardness running deep along your walls and pulling your orgasm closer with each motion. He thrusts in again and your back arches. You watch your breaths fog against the exposed glass panes, weaving their own intricate patterns between ebony lattice, and it takes you back to the first time Draco had claimed your innocence.
On Christmas morning, after breakfast, you’d sent your owl from your dorm window with a letter that contained only two lines:
Restricted Section tonight.
Don’t be late, Malfoy.
Since that magical night in the stacks, you’ve never loved anything more. Every week for a month, you’d sought him out. It’d been pathetic, but you were unable to liberate yourself from the yearning of taking him again. Your need wouldn’t subside, even after you’d taken him. He’d turned you into this feral, insane being, and you found yourself chasing that body to body connection and the slow build up of your pleasure around his length endlessly.
Draco’s pants fill your ears with the sweetest melody as he plows into you, leaving no more room for nostalgia. With each violent rut of his hips, neither of you have the time to recover from the ecstasy prickling in your veins. The heat pooling in your core keeps your mind centered and your gaze focused on him.
“Draco...”
You watch him through heavy, lidded eyes, and your teeth sink into your bottom lip in a teasing grin as you watch his hips burst forward. The rhythmic sound of your skin colliding and his low howling heightens your senses. Suddenly, you’re keenly aware of the little ache unraveling like a ribbon in the pit of your belly, but also the bareness of his chest begging to be touched.
You glide your fingertips up the plain of his stomach, taking in the darkened hairs forming around the edges of his navel. You follow the faint trail up to his lanky chest, taking in the slight bit of muscle around his pecks before continuing up and over his shoulders. You curl yourself around him and trace circles over the bone when he falters closer. Beads of sweat form over the span on his forehead and you watch the way it collects like glistening raindrops against his scalp before trickling down streaks of his swaying platinum hair. You fight every instinct in order to spare him of the sensation of your fingers running throughout his hair and massaging into his scalp. He’d shutter in pleasure if you were to so, and right now, he doesn’t deserve the satisfaction.
Draco’s fingernails burrow into the flesh of your hips and you howl at the feeling, abandoning all prior thoughts. He thrusts forward. Harder. Deeper… Once. Twice. A third time for good measure. Then, again and again while a series of moans pour from your parted mouth.
“Tell me you won’t miss how good I make you feel?” He murmurs. “Isn’t that why you’re here tonight? Because poor little Potter cannot be bothered with pleasing his own woman? He should be treating you like the chosen one. Doesn’t he know you are?”
You bite into your lip again, but this time it’s to keep your mouth shut. You know there’s no use in telling him the truth, that Harry hadn’t as much as lain a finger on you in this way. Not once in all the three years you’d been together. Though, you know he’s wanted to. Draco is the only one that’s ever had you this way, completely defiled you, talked you down, brought you to your lowest and highest all at once.
Your eyes roll again as Draco steadies out his rhythm to catch his breath.
Surely the portraits will spread word in the morning of how they heard students moaning and followed the sound after seeing you and Draco disappear down an unlined corridor moments before. You’ll have to talk to Harry and admit it. That’s one thing you’re certain of. If you don’t, they’ll call you scandalous and Draco would get it worse. Dumbledore may even have to expel you faster than Professor Snape can chastise Malfoy for his lewd, unacceptable actions, in which his father, Lucius, will truly not want to hear about.
“Shit…” he hisses. His eyes snap shut and his lips tremor with his ragged pants. His nose crinkles and the movement of his hips grow erratic once again. With his grip tightening on your flesh, he lets out a low groan. “I’ve almost forgotten how good you feel. I might blow my load inside of you… teach you a lesson.”
“You will not,” you protest, straight faced and using all your strength to not react to the pleasure radiating throughout your body. “Draco, we can’t.”
“Or what? You’ll curse me?”
“Don’t tempt me.”
Draco sneers and leans down until his face is hovering above yours. He allows your ankles to rest against his shoulders, knees parallel to the ceiling. He watches the way you fight every instinct of pleasure, how you keep your eyes on his instead of allowing them to sink back, how you hold his triceps when you want nothing more than to have your hands grasping your aching breasts or to have them wrapped tightly around the base of his throat. He chuckles at the fact that you wish to moan, but your duty to privacy holds steady, keeps you quiet and whimpering instead of letting loose. And he watches in amusement as you slowly unravel with every swift and sharp stroke of his hips. As he does, he begins to realize just how much he actually cares about you.
“Tell him you’re mine,” Draco demands. “Tell me and tonight you’ll tell him so I can spend all day showing you how well I treat my personal possessions.”
“Oh yeah?” You tease. “Is that right, Draco?”
“You’ll find out soon enough.”
You let out a sharp giggle and rope him in closer by the back of his neck, so close that you can take in every breath exhaling from his lungs and pull them into your own. You watch the way the iciness in his eyes melts away and glaze over with something more warm and comforting. And your core ripples at the possibility of something more than lust looming between the both of you.
“Don’t tell me you’re this close already,” he complains, truly embarrassed for you by the look of annoyance in his eyes.
“Mmm… I think I am,” you whimper and grasp the lapels of his crinkled button up to yank him a breath closer. “Fill me up, Draco…”
He scoffs.
He is truly embarrassed for you, but you wish he could see himself panting, slicked with sweat, eyes soft, and looking so sexy whilst buried between your thighs. He’s the portrait of pathetic and you know you should make him beg.
“Beg,” you croak and yank him down until his lips are just above yours.
Your throat stings, sore and scratchy from attempting to leave it shut as Draco plowed through your slick folds one thrust at a time.
“You’re insane,” he chuckles and glimpses down at your reddened lips.
“Only for you,” you whisper and swallow a moan as you caress the sharpness of his cheeks. “Make me yours, Draco.”
His lips tug into a sharp smile and he presses his lips against yours hard and hungrily. He’s tired of your games. Perhaps he realized that much sooner than tonight and the thought of losing you had become too unbearable for him.
“Fuck,” he huffs into the sticky air between the both of you before reclaiming your lips.
“Love your cock being buried inside of me, Draco.”
You finally moan against him. After all, you aren’t evil enough to keep edging yourself when you’re both this close. He pulls his mouth away, panting heavily as he plants his palms on either side of you and stiffens.
“Are you finished?”
You nod, knowing exactly what he means. It only confirms that he’s serious now, serious in showing you exactly how he takes care of what’s his.
He glances down at his hardened length, only the tip remains hidden inside of your depths, and the rest gleams in your sticky, sweet arousal. He wants to taste you, but more than anything, he wants to bury his load deep inside of you. He wants it so deep that it doesn’t dare to trickle out. He doesn’t care about the consequences this close to graduation; he only cares about you filled to the brim with a piece of him, no matter what it is.
He thrusts inside and watches the way you swallow him greedily. Then, repeats the action again and again in a rapid rock of his hips. He senses your falling apart—legs trembling against his body, eyes softening to a roll, your arousal warming to slick wetness, scorching hot with each plunge. He takes pride in his string of thrusts, delivering them in a steady rhythm. Though, he wishes to tear you apart, your freed moans keep him from doing so. They guide him and keep him steady like music in his ears.
He grasps your chin and pulls your lazy gaze back to him.
“Keep your eyes right here, darling,” he demands sternly. “I want to see the way they roll when you release.”
With clenched teeth, you attempt to snatch your chin back, but he keeps his grip firm and your maneuver hardly wavers as he picks up speed with a groan and chuckle.
“You thought I’d let you dominate me?” He teases, his chuckle cutting through your moans. “I almost had you convinced. But don’t forget, my love, I’m always in control. No one tells me what to do.”
You whimper as he presses a thumb into your mouth to pacify you before ripping through your depths. His thrusts grow quicker with each second and you have no time to recoup from the pleasure prickling through your veins and pulsating in every corner of your being like liquid fire. Just as your eyes begin to roll, Draco snatches your jaw, showing just how much in control he truly is.
“I wish Potter could see how well you take me,” he pants cockily. “Just imagine if he knew the way I fit inside of you. So perfectly, if I do say so myself. You should see the way your cunt grips around my cock. You should see how wet you are for me. I dare you.”
You hum against his thumb and the vibration ricochets through you in a deep wave as you dare to glimpse between your thighs. You catch sight of his cock, a pulsing red with a vein so thick that it looks as though it hurts, and your arousal coating the surface in a glistening sweetness. Draco watches with you and your head spins.
“It’s been two days since I’ve felt you tightening around me. I can’t wait to feel it again.”
You keep your lips clasped tightly around his thumb. Your mind can hardly think of a quip, let alone find any words to overpower him. You don’t want to. You focus on the way his cock feels slipping in and out of your depths at different lengths, growing unsteady with each sway of his hips. You focus on his silver eyes staring into yours and his mocking grin as you finally come to terms with the fact that you are his. You’ve always been his. He’s just known it much longer than you have.
A bead of sweat drips from the tip of his swapping bangs and plops against your bare stomach. Draco chuckles and slicks his damp hair back with one hand while using his thumb on the other to massage the moisture into your skin. He presses in with a bit more pressure in attempt to feel himself plunging in and out of you. He keeps his thumb pressed firmly against you and steadies himself until he feels the motion underneath it. In and out. In and out, bulging at the center of your tightening core.
“Perhaps one day you’ll write about how well you take me,” he purrs. “And we’ll fill our library with books on our lovemaking.”
“I’m sure such books already exist,” you gasp, recalling all the steamy muggle romances you’d read over the summer.
“Then you’ll read one to me one of these days. Share your findings?”
“I’d rather show you,” you whisper.
He smiles, almost faltering before regaining his composure and finding your hips again.
“Draco?”
“Mhm?”
“Tell me I’m your favorite,” you mutter and buck up against him.
He stops suddenly and his nails dig deep into your pillowy flesh. You feel his cock twitch deep inside of you and you smirk when his eyes land on yours again.
“Being sneaky are we?” He muses and rams into you.
His palm finds your mouth again just before a bloodcurdling moan slips out.
He does it again with a teasing smile.
Then again.
And again.
And again until you’re whimpering and trembling around him. You reach for his forearm, but he denies it and presses into you harder.
Your eyes roll and you grasp the ledge underneath yourself, but it’s too hard. You go for his wrist, the same one allowing his hand to keep you almost silenced. You shiver around him and your thighs go limp against his thrusts. It’s not long after that his pants turn into a sharp hiss and a new heat overwhelms you.
Draco falters on top of you and stares straight into your eyes as he fills you up to the brim with his warm seed. You search his eyes for any form of deceit, but you find none. There never has been, not when it came to you and him.
His hand slowly retreats and you let out a loud inhale, taking in the dusty air of the corridor before slinging your arms around his neck and rushing your lips against his. He tastes of tart apples, salty sweat, and the sticky strawberry taste of your lipgloss. You never knew you needed to taste such a combination, but if it came from him, you’d take it. You’d take it all.
“Y/n,” he mumbles.
“Yes, Draco?”
His eyes focus on yours as if the stars he’d once seen dancing around your face are slowly subsiding, and the cloudiness of lust and desire fade.
“You truly are my favorite,” he breathes and runs a hand through your curls before peppering your lips with kisses. “And I plan to keep it that way.”
And somewhere deep in your gut, you have a feeling this won’t be the last time you hear those words, especially since you’d forgotten to confirm that it had only been a rumor going around the school, mere whispers. Someone had lied about you dating Harry again, but you don’t mind when the result of it brought Draco crawling back to you.

Summary: Draco is the school fuckboy, he's screwed just about every girl in your year, except for you. You refuse to give into his games, refuse to be just another of his girls that are all over him, they all crave him and his skillful touch. What happens when you do give into him? Will you be left with a broken heart, or will he?
---
Draco Malfoy is the school fuckboy, everyone knew that, especially all the girls in your year.
You didn't know how, but Draco had managed to fuck just about every girl in your year, and a few of the girls in the year below. You supposed it was due to his charms and charisma, I mean he was unarguably attractive if he wasn't such a dick.
Draco had a new girl clinging onto his arm every other day, meaning every other day he had successfully managed to get another new girl in his bed, and he did it all with a smirk plastered on his face.
From what you heard he was a sex warrior, he would have you on your knees, begging for more, he would make you feel good in all the right places, and he would certainly get you cumming more than once in one night.
You didn't really understand why every girl was begging to be in his bed, especially because so many of them complain about the lack of aftercare he provides. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to care, why would he? He gets a new girl every week, so why would he need to care about any of them when he has an entire line of them waiting? After all, he only uses them for his own pleasure. Once he finishes, nothing else matters.
You had heard of Draco's infamous rules during his sex sessions, I mean he only had one to keep the girls in line.
No kissing.
He believed that it only led to impractical feelings of love, which was useless to him. You were sure he had fucked more girls than he had kissed, which was a tiny bit disturbing to you.
You couldn't deny, he was very good looking, and you always had wondered what he would be like in bed. There was always one thing stopping you. The thing is you've never had sex before, yes, you're a virgin; and you wanted your first time to be special and meaningful with a guy who loves you. You didn't really want to lose your virginity to a guy who has shagged every girl in the room.
You scanned the room and looked at every girl currently sitting in your divinations class. You could probably bet a couple million dollars that every one of them had been in Draco's bed at some point of their time at Hogwarts. It disgusted you. Even Hermione at some point confessed to you that she had slept with him, which took you by surprise as you always thought she had better judgement.
Chatter was heard through the classroom as you all waited for the second bell to ring, signaling the start of first period.
You looked up at the doorway, waiting for your friend Marie to come and occupy the empty seat beside you. You had been waiting for about ten minutes in class looking at the doorway waiting for her to walk in.
As you continued staring at the doorframe, a familiar head of blonde hair appeared in the doorway, you knew exactly who it was, and you groaned at the sight of him. For the past few weeks he had been trying to convince you to get into his sheets because apparently he had 'already fucked every girl', and you were the last one he needed to complete his list. You watched him with disgust filled eyes as he once again had another girl hanging off his arm, Astoria. He had already slept with Astoria before, but you guessed he was going for second rounds since he had nobody new to fuck.
Draco and Astoria sat down in the two seats behind you and you tried to ignore the fact that he was probably smirking at you from behind.
"So darling, have you considered my offer?" He said in a cocky but soft tone.
A few days ago he had made you on offer. Your friend Amelia had told him about how apprehensive you were in having sex for the first time, so he came up to you to give you a deal. I guess he took that as an opportunity to finally tick you off his list of girls he's slept with since you were probably the last one. He told you that if you did decide to sleep with him, he would be gentle since he knew it was your first time. At first you gave him a glare because you didn't buy that Draco would ever be gentle or soft, but he seemed so sincere about it. He was so adamant on it that now, you were considering the option. I mean you were probably the only virgin girl in your year and it was quite embarrassing to some extent. But at the same time you were a bit grossed out about losing it to the school fuckboy.
But surely if he promised to be gentle, everything would be alright?
"Draco I told you I'm not very enthusiastic about losing my virginity to the school player" you deadpanned as you turned to face him. "Plus I want to have it with someone who will treat me well"
"I told you I'll be gentle. I know it's your first time"
"Draco that's not what I meant. Someone who will treat me well and not throw me away after one use"
"But darling it will benefit the both of us. You will have the time of your life and I can tick you off my list-"
"See Draco that's exactly what I mean. I'm a person, not a checkbox. I want to matter to someone is that too much to ask? Now shove off."
You were annoyed at him. Could he not see that girls wanted to be treated like people and not trophies?
"Y/n that's not what I meant I-, just give me a chance I promise I will make it memorable for you. You're not a checkbox you're right, but I do just really want to give you a wonderful first experience." He admitted as he looked into your eyes softly.
He was very convincing. Scarily convincing. Maybe it was because you were a little bit desperate, maybe it was the embarrassment kicking in, but you were considering his offer more and more. You just didn't want to be another one of his girls.
Draco on the other hand wasn't lying. He did want to give you a memorable and pleasurable first time. But he would never force it on you, even if he wanted you so badly. He didn't know why he was so drawn to you or so desperate to get you to fall for him, maybe it was because you were different. Maybe it was because you didn't give into him, like all the other girls. It was your attitude and your morals, that drove his feelings towards you. If he didn't know any better he would have thought he had maybe a slight crush on you. He couldn't deny that he had thoughts and dreams about you, not just sexually, but simple and sweet things, like holding your hand on a date to Hogsmeade, kissing your lips before he goes to sleep, hugging you when you needed his support. He would never admit it though, that he was falling for you .
Of course he didn't just want sex with you for some stupid list, he just had to tell you that because he didn't want anyone thinking that he had fallen for a girl who would only deny his every offer. He wanted to be your first because he didn't want someone else to be, and it was selfish, so utterly selfish of him, but he wanted to be the first one to elicit those beautiful sounds from your mouth, he wanted to be the first one to make love to you, he wanted to set the standards high. He wanted to make sure to treat you like a princess, he wanted you to know that you meant so much more to him than a stupid list.
But he was a coward, he could never tell you that, he could never tell you that he only fucked other girls to satisfy his love lust for you. Pretty much every girl he ever screwed was only to get his mind off you, and more times than not, he would imagine you as the girl anyway.

Draco was doing some potions homework when he heard a frantic knock on his door. The advantages of being a prefect was having a dorm to himself, which was why Draco usually got away with having so many girls in his room.
"What the fuck" he mumbled to himself. It was 7pm, everyone should be at dinner, why would someone disturb him at this time?
He walked up to the door and opened it only to find you standing there playing with the hems of your hoodie looking nervous.
His eyes softened at the sight of you.
"What are you doing here y/n?" He asked with a gentle voice.
"uh-" you looked down at your feet. You had skipped dinner because you were feeling hot, as in horny, and as much as you tried pleasuring yourself, you couldn't help but think that Draco could do it better. You had decided to take that offer, but you weren't sure how much you'd regret it later. " your-your offer, I was thinking about it, and I think I want to do it, with you " you stuttered a bit embarrassed.
Draco stared at your nervous figure with wide eyes. Was this really happening? He saw your hot and bothered body and realised that you must be horny, that's why you came to him, but he didn't mind, the girl of his dreams had just confessed that she wanted him to be her very first. He played it cool on the outside when on the inside he was totally freaking.
"Y-you want to do it? Right now?" He asked a bit surprised.
"No! I mean yes, I was just feeling horny but if now isn't a good time then-"
"NO- it's okay now is fine, uh just give me like five minutes okay..." he was definitely freaking out now, what was wrong with him? He's so experienced, why is he all of a sudden feeling nervous and doubtful about his own sexual abilities?
He shut the door in your face suddenly and you were confused and a bit hurt.
Behind the doors though, Draco was a mess.
"She wants me to fuck her? Gosh what if I'm not good enough for her first time, what if I hurt her?" He was making a mess out of himself as he set up his room to set a sensual atmosphere. He charmed some rose scented candles and placed them around the bed, and he casted spells to litter the floor and bed with flower petals. He dimmed the lights and panicked a little bit before composing himself and opening the door again, not wanting to keep you waiting too long.
"Draco uhm, I was thinking this probably isn't a good time, and you're not ready either, so uh-"
"No y/n it's okay I just set up the room for us... unless you are changing your mind about things, then that's completely okay I don't want to pressure you into anything." He trailed off and you peeked into the room.
You gasped softly and covered your mouth with your hands as you saw the romantic layout of Draco's bedroom. It looked very beautiful. Draco watched your expression and smiled at you, his stomach always did flips whenever he saw you happy.
"Do you do this for every girl?" You asked, a bit hopeful that he had done this as a special thing for you.
"Oh... Yeah definitely" Of course he didn't do this for anyone else, he just wanted your first time to be really special and to make sure you enjoyed every second of it.
You grew a bit disappointed with his answer, but what were you expecting? He probably didn't see you more than another girl he could seduce into his bed.
Draco took your hand gently and led you into the room. The scent of roses filled your nose and you smiled. Draco's heart was beating fast as he started to realise that this wasn't just a dream and that you were really about to do this with him. That you trusted him.
You grew nervous as you saw that he had already stood in front of the bed and started to take off his shirt. Maybe you weren't ready for this.
"Darling, are you okay?" Draco checked on you, as his now shirtless figure came closer to yours. You fiddled with the sleeves of your hoodie as you looked anywhere but his toned body.
"Uhm, yeah. I-I just- I don't know how ready I feel about this" you hesitated, as you finally looked into his concerned and worry filled eyes.
"Y/n, like I said you don't need to feel pressured about anything. We don't have to do anything at all if you don't feel like you are ready. I-I don't want you doing something with me that you will regret." he reassured you.
"No, it's not like that. I mean I'm sure if we do this, it will feel good... I'm just, inexperienced you know?" you sighed as you sat on his bed and played with some of the rose petals. "I-I don't know the first thing about sex, what noises are okay to make, how painful it will be, how to position my arms or my legs, how to make sure that it's not just me having a good time." getting it off your chest felt good for once.
"Y/n, this is about you not me. You don't have to worry about how to position yourself, I'll take care of that. And you don't have to worry about me having a good time, today is about you, but I assure you I will definitely enjoy myself. You don't need to worry about being too loud, or too quiet, it just matters that you're comfortable. And if you find it too painful, or if you are starting to regret things, then do not be afraid to tell me to stop. I will." Draco sat down next to you and grabbed your hand as he stroked in with his thumb.
You looked up at him and realised that he was so much more caring than he let other people see. He looked back at you and scanned your eyes for any discomfort, but he only saw admiration.
"Thank you Draco, I-I feel a bit better now" you said, feeling your cheeks heating up.
"It's okay y/n, is there anything I can do to make you feel more comfortable before we start?" He asked, he wanted to make sure your first time was perfect.
"I- I wouldn't know, I've never done anything like this before" you said nervously.
"Okay... I'll do my thing and just tell me, please tell me, if you feel uncomfortable at any point. I will stop immediately. You have the upper hand, you have the control." he stated as he slowly stood up in front of you, signalling for you to also stand up.
You whispered a small 'okay' and stood there awkwardly, unsure of Draco's next move.
He began to move his hands to the hem of your hoodie, playing around with it before asking for your permission to take it off. He was more than pleased to see you wearing nothing but a bra underneath.
"Stunning my love, you're beautiful" he whispered in your ear as his hands found their way to your back, finding the clip of your bra. You blushed as you heard the unclipping of your bra, and your breath hitched as the cold air hit your breasts.
"You alright y/n? Do you want me to stop?" He asked softly, as he tried to resist the urge to look down at your chest.
"I'm okay" you whispered breathlessly "Please keep going Draco" he loved the way his name rolled off your lips.
He motioned for you to lie down on the bed, and you obeyed, your heart beating fast as he threw your black laced bra somewhere behind him.
He crawled on top of you, sweatpants still on, and he lowered himself until his face was at the crook of your neck. You felt his hot breath at your collar bone before he started placing small kisses upwards and towards your jawline. Your hands made their way to his blonde hair, and started pulling gently, making him groan. You held back a moan as he started sucking on the spot that made you feel oh so amazing.
"Darling, don't hold back, I'd love to hear your noises" he reassured you, as he moved on of his hands down to your waist as the other held his body up.
You let out a few moans as he continued marking your neck. He brought his hand away from your waist and towards your chest, as he grasped at one of our breasts, toying with your sensitive nipple. You arched your back, pressing your lower body against his, allowing you to feel just how hard he was. He groaned in response and settled between your legs, gently grinding his clothed member against your core.
He moved his lips away from your neck and attached his lips to your left breast, his hand still kneading your right one. He sucked gently on it, his tongue playing with your perked nipple. You whimpered at the new sensation, it was unfamiliar, a bit odd, but it sure did feel good.
Draco loved seeing you in this state, in such a pleasured and needy state. He wanted nothing more than to just take you right then and there, but he wanted to go slow with you. Take his time.
He slowly separated himself from your body as he stood up, taking a second to admire the sight before him. You looked so beautiful to him, so perfect, he wanted to have every inch of you to himself.
"Fuck" He whispered, growing hard at the sight of you beneath him.
Draco's fingers slowly made their way down to the waistband of your sweatpants, playing with the material for a little bit, before pulling low enough to see the lace of your panties.
"May I?" he whispered gently.
"Yes" you nodded, feeling yourself become hot at your core, his fingers so close, yet so far from where you wanted them to be.
He swiftly pulled your pants and your laced underwear off in one movement and let them fall to the floor as he stared at you glistening pussy. He spread your legs apart more and placed his body in front of your dripping core, staring at it for a few seconds that felt like hours.
You felt his warm breathing tickle your core, as you shivered at the feeling.
"You're so perfect y/n, so beautiful. So wet for me aren't you?" he teased you. You breathed shakily as you screwed your eyes shut.
You suddenly felt a pair of lips attacking your clit, making a loud moan escapes your lips. You feel his grip on your legs tighten as he hears you moan his name continuously. God he loves the way you make him feel.
His tongue makes its way to your entrance as he fucks you with his tongue, his nose nudging gently on your clit, increasing the pleasure. Your hands made their way back into his blonde hair, as you gently tugged from the roots. You earned a moan from him in response, sending vibrations straight to your core. You whimpered at the feeling.
"Does this feel okay darling? Does it feel nice?" he cooed as he continued working on your pussy. You nodded in response.
"Words darling, I need words" he said, as he circled your clit with his tongue.
"Y-yes Draco, fuck yes, it feels amazing~" you moaned breathily. You felt him smile against your core, before he shoved a finger into your hole.
You winced in discomfort, earning a worried look from Draco as he removed his finger and moved away so his face met yours. He looked at you worriedly, checking your face for any signs of regret.
"What's wrong y/n? I'm so sorry did I hurt you? Oh fuck I didn't mean to" He babbled, you just looked at him awkwardly.
"No, no you didn't hurt me, i-it's just it felt weird. I can't even fit a tampon in there without it feeling uncomfortable, I don't know how it's supposed to feel... pleasurable" you admitted. He looked relieved for a second, knowing that he hadn't hurt you.
"Well darling, like I said it's perfectly normal to be nervous or uncomfortable, and we don't have to do anything else. I can promise you though, that it will feel pleasurable, I'll make sure of that."
You nodded in response, just looking at him with wide eyes as he traced his fingers back to your dripping core.
"Do you want me to continue? We can stop whenever" he cooed gently.
You nodded, as you grabbed his hand and placed it in on your heat. He chucked at your neediness as he hovered above you and played with your wetness. He gently inched a finger into your hole, as you made faces of discomfort. Draco took notice and leaned in to kiss at your neck, as he continued thrusting his long finger in and out at a slow pace.
The discomfort slowly subsided as he kept thrusting his finger in and out. It slowly turned into pleasure as he ever so slightly curled his finger to reach those lovely spots inside of you.
You moaned quietly, earning a smirk from Draco as he buried his face into your neck. He dragged his finger out, making you whimper, then he slides two fingers in. The discomfort comes back, and Draco notices your change in expression. He leans down and captures your lips in a kiss, a sweet one, distracting you from the pain and discomfort.
Taken aback, you widen your eyes, but you slowly melt into the kiss, tugging at his hair and pulling him closer to you. You feel yourself getting hotter, and a coil start to tighten in your stomach. Draco feels you clench around his fingers, and he kisses you deeper, his thumb playing with your clit, increasing the pleasure.
It doesn't take long before you cum all over his fingers, moans and whimpers being muted by Draco's lips.
You're still shaking as you come down from your high, legs spasming and eyes rolled back.
"Good girl, you did so well" Draco hushed in your ear, before bringing himself down to your pussy to taste your sweetness. You moaned as he continued to eat out your sensitive cunt, as he held you down gently with his large hand.
"Did you like that darling?" he asked, as he came to your face and kissed below your ear.
"Yeah, that- that was really good." you breathed out. He smiled and kissed you, you could feel his heart beating so fast. Gosh he wanted nothing but to please you.
"Draco..." You moaned into the kiss, making butterflies erupt in his stomach at the sound of his name rolling off your lips. "Draco, I need you"
His breath hitched and he looked into your eyes, only to see pure lust and neediness.
"Anything for you darling" He said, as he smirked and kicked his sweatpants off. You saw a large tent in his boxers, leaving you more aroused than ever, and you palmed his erection through the thin fabric.
"Don't." He warned, "Today is all about you darling" He removed his boxers before bringing himself between your legs and lining himself up with your entrance.
"Y/n, please tell me you're 100% sure about this. I-" he looked away, scared to face your beautiful eyes. "I don't want to hurt you, and I definitely don't want you to do something with me that you will regret. I can't stress that enough" He said.
"Draco, there's no one I know who is more experienced than you, please make me feel good." you whispered quietly.
He nodded. "Your wish is my command" he replied, "Just know that I'm so honoured to be here with you right now, doing this, making you feel good."
You grabbed him by the neck and pulled him down to your face, kissing him so he would stop ranting. He smiled into the kiss, his heart felt so complete. He moved to your neck once again, not kissing it, just breathing you in, and feeling you.
His tip nudged at your entrance in the process. He grabs his length in his hand tapping it against your core, sliding the silky tip between your folds and over your sensitive clit, making you shiver with pleasure.
"Please Draco" You shuddered in anticipation. "I need you".
That was all he needed, to hear you tell him that you needed him.
He lifted himself off of you and shifted closer to your lower body. He spread his tip over your folds collecting your wetness as a lubricant.
"Darling this will hurt" he warned with a slow nod. "I'll go slow for you I promise." he firmly reassured you.
You nodded eagerly, gripping his shoulders as heat spread across your face. You were about to do this, with the school player. He stifled a moan as he slowly pushed his tip into your core. He was right. It hurt. And he was probably not even an inch in. You winced as he continued to push himself in, his eyes watching your face carefully for any sign of pain.
About three inches in and the pain worsens. You frown slightly, as you try and handle the pain. Draco's eyes are screwed shut, focusing hard on not making any noises of pleasure while you're in pain. He opens his eyes to see your face contorting in pain, so he moves his hand down to your clit and tries to distract you. You heart flutters as you feel his breath near you ear, small grunts coming from his throat as he pushes deeper and deeper into you.
The pain and the pleasure slowly start to even out as Draco pushes himself all the way in. He freezes in place once he's all the way in, lifting himself to see the beautiful sight in front of him. You look gorgeous, curves and all, small beauty spots, messy hair, the best part is he's deep inside of you~
"Shit" He curses. "You're beautiful darling, you know that? Absolutely perfect."
You feel his cold silver rings press on your skin as he grips your waist tightly. He drags himself out of you slowly, before pushing back in. You moan slightly at the friction, flicking a switch in Draco. He repositions his hands beside your face and holds his body above yours, before he starts rocking his hips into yours at a faster pace.
"Oh darling, you feel so wonderful" he moaned, watching your eyes roll back as he slowed his pace. "You're so beautiful y/n, oh fuck".
He was already out of breath. He was Draco fucking Malfoy, and he was already getting tired during sex, when usually he could go on for hours. Or maybe it was just you. You made his world spin, you made him feel like he had something to prove, you made him feel grounded.
He loses himself in you as he continues to slowly thrust his hips against yours. A loud involuntary moan escapes your lips as his cock hits a wonderful spot inside of you, pulling Draco back to his senses.
You moan as he angles his hips to keep hitting that spot inside you. He wants to hear those beautiful sounds from your mouth, steal them with his kisses.
His breathing becomes laboured as he feels himself getting close, he can no longer hold himself up, something about you makes him feel like he's gravitating towards you.
He stops his movements for a second, lowering his body onto yours, skin on skin, his face at your neck, as he slithers his arms underneath your waist. He feels this love, aching love, as you run your fingers down his back.
"Draco" you whisper, but it's not needy, it's loving. "Draco~" You feel this love, this warmth all down your chest as you feel Draco's arms wrapped protectively around your waist, and his dick deep inside you, you don't want to let him go, ever. You bring your hands up and into his hair, twisting short pieces around your fingers, making him breathe harder.
Your heartbeats against each other, you had never felt so connected with someone before.
He slowly draws himself out of you, and slams in sloppily. The pace is slow, but it feels oh so good, like he's not just having sex with you - he's making love to you. He sighs heavily as he feels himself getting close.
"Baby, I'm so close, I-I don't know how much longer I can last." his breath hitched in his throat as he felt you squeeze around him. He looks down to your face, smiling as he sees your expression distorted in pleasure, eyes screwed shut, mouth open, hair perfectly messy.
He uses his last bit of strength to angle himself at a better position, hitting all the right spots inside of you.
"Oh~ Draco please" he hears you moan out his name, and it's almost enough to push him over the edge. "Fuck- Draco I'm cumming" He smiles, leaning back down to kiss your lips as he feels your orgasm wash over you.
He breaks the kiss and throws his head back as he spills himself into you. Groans are heard echoing across the room as he thrusts a few more times before stilling inside of you.
The two of you stay like that for a bit, Draco kissing at your neck, whispering praises in your ear as your eyes start feeling heavy with sleep.
He pulls out of you and you whimper slightly, missing the feeling of being full, full of him.
Draco smiles as he looks to your pussy, a mixture of his and your cum seeping out, and he uses his thumb to gently push it back into your delicate hole as he cleans up the mess the two of you have made.
"Draco" you whisper, arms out signalling for him to come and cuddle you.
He chuckles, and scoops you up into his arms, pulling his emerald green sheets over your naked figures.
The cold touch of the duvets against your hot skin feels wonderful, like taking a cold shower after a run.
You hold onto Draco's muscular body, as you feel his arms circle around you and pull you closer. You run your hands through his hair, still registering the activities you had just submitted to with this boy.
You stare at him for while longer, before he leans into you, stealing your lips with a kiss. As if instinctual, you pull him closer into the kiss, craving the feeling of his mouth against yours.
That's when it hits you.
No kissing.
It didn't make sense, it was Draco fucking Malfoy. His number one rule was no kissing. Expect for right now, he's doing the exact opposite. You don't know if you feel happy, or upset.
You feel like you're being played.
Why would he kiss you to lead you on, only to throw you away after one use like all the other girls. Why would he kiss you like he meant it when you knew he didn't.
You break the kiss, not saying a word.
"Darling? Y/n are you okay?" He asked sincerely.
Silence.
"Did... Did you not like it?" he started to panic slightly. "Fuck. Y/n I-I'm so sorry if you didn't like it. Please tell me you don't regret it." he closed his eyes as if he would open them and realise it was a dream.
"No" you simply said, "Draco it was amazing don't worry. It's just- I just want to go to sleep, I'm so tired"
He sighed in relief. "Of course my love. And I'll be right here holding you when you wake up" He smiled softly at you and kissed your forehead.
Draco had never felt like this before. He had never kissed someone before, at least not the way he kissed you. He was addicted to you, your touch, your lips. He wanted more and more. It's like he couldn't get enough.
He slowly fell asleep, content, more than content, because he was falling asleep with his world in his arms.
You on the other hand. You felt sick.
He didn't love you, so why would he try to make you feel so loved. Kiss you, like you were the only one he wanted. Hold you like he never wanted to let go.
After a bit of internal debate, you finally drifted to sleep, but a restless one.
---
You woke up in the embrace of two strong long arms. A familiar scent tickling your nose, and a silky sheet wedged between your legs.
As memories of last night replayed through your mind, you gently wiggled yourself out of Draco's embrace, careful not to wake him. You turn yourself and grab at your phone, 6:06am.
In any other case you would tell yourself to fall back asleep, but right now, you wanted nothing but to escape this place.
You couldn't fall in love with the school fuckboy. You couldn't fall in love with Draco.
So what did you do?
You left without a second glance, without a second thought, you just listened to your head telling you that if you ever fell in love with him, he would only discard you like another one of his girls.
---
You enter class the next day, sore and heavy hearted. You take your seat in class, awaiting the embarrassment of having to see Draco again after what the two of you had done last night.
Your eyes darted to the doorframe as you watched a head of blonde hair enter, his eyes were frantically searching the classroom before they softened as they landed on you.
As everyone gaped at Draco, confused as to why for once he didn't have a girl hanging off his arm, Draco's gaze was only upon you; and you hated it.
You felt like the centre of attention, and it made you nauseous.
Draco however, he was worried as to why you left so early in the morning.
He had been looking forward to you waking up in his arms, and cuddling before going to class together. He started to think that maybe you would never want to see him again because you regretted it.
He quietly walked over to the seat beside you, all eyes focused on the two of you.
His eyes sparkled as he looked at you, worry, guilt, and relief swirling inside them. You felt your heart ache as you suppressed every urge to kiss him right them and there.
As Draco sat down, he placed his hand on yours under the desk and he gave a small smile, comforting yet it still made you feel sick to the stomach.
Something in your chest told you that this wasn't going to end well.
---
After a long class, the bell finally rung and you abruptly stood up and hurried off to second period.
Draco watched and tried to grab you before you walked away but he was too late, so he ran after you. He needed to tell you, all the things he left unsaid last night.
Your chest tightened, afraid that he might follow you, that you might have to face him when all you wanted to do was focus on anything else.
Your breath hitched as you felt a gentle touch on your shoulder.
"Y/n, please, listen to me"
"What do you want Draco?" you spat out, wanting to escape this conversation.
"Y/n please I just- I want to know what I did wrong, why did you leave me this morning I thought what we did last night was special.... it was special to me." He said quietly, his words only meant for you to hear and no one else.
"Special? Draco are you hearing yourself? Why are you doing this to me! Toying with my feelings like this" you argued defensively, what kind of audacity did he have to call last night special when you were just another girl to him?
"Toying with your-? What? I'm not toying with your feelings y/n, if anything it feels like you're toying with mine. I gave you my everything last night, my first kiss, my love, my all. And you left me this morning alone I was so worried I had done something wrong. Why would you think I'd be playing with your feelings love?" he was desperate, he needed to know what you were feeling, if you felt the same or if he was fooling himself.
"Draco you play with everyone's feelings, can you really blame me for protecting myself?" you say in a quieter hushed tone as you two pace into an empty classroom closing the door behind you to shield your conversation from unwanted attention. "You- you kissed me, I didn't know what to think, I thought you were messing with me, I couldn't-"
"I kissed you because I love you y/n. It's as simple as that! And I loved every second of kissing you, I loved every second of being near you and I still do. I know you felt it too why can't you just say it back!" He was getting frustrated, for once he was laying his heart out on the floor, and you come and step on it.
"Draco are you crazy. I can't fall in love with the school player! You know how stupid that is?" your voice was laced with toxicity, and you instantly regretted the words as they came out your mouth.
"School player?" he scoffed his heart broken "So that's what you think of me, hah, I get it" He says dejectedly as he walks towards the door reaching for the handle.
"Draco wait- I- You know I didn't mean it like that" you say reaching your arm out to stop him "You're right I felt it too, I felt it in every touch and every heartbeat and it scared me." you say in a small voice, feeling vulnerable as you hang your head down.
"Why were you scared, I would never hurt you." his hand left the door handle and he embraced you resting his chin on your head breathing in the scent of your shampoo.
"Because it goes against everything I value, you're entire self is nothing like the guy I'd fall for yet I did. And it scared me because I didn't know your true intentions, I didn't know what you wanted from me, and I didn't want my heart to be broken. I'm sorry..."
"Don't apologise- sweetheart why didn't you just tell me that last night, I would've listened I would've reassured you I love you. The only reason I went playing about with other girls is because all this time I knew I couldn't have you and no matter how much I tried nothing could ever satisfy this need I had to be with you" he said sincerely, and you laid your head sideways on his chest his heart against your ear "I want you, more than I can say, please don't be scared of me".
"I'm not scared" you state kissing his neck gently as you tilt your head up "Not anymore. I love you too"
His heart stalled as he heard the words leave your mouth and he dipped his head, his nose nuzzling near your ear "My darling, I want to hear those words come from your mouth for the rest of my life."
a/n: I feel like the ending was rushed -_- But hey! I've got back into writing after such a writers block and a busy schedule! I hope this was worth the super long wait guys !! I've also tagged all my followers just as an update that I AM BACK!! Hehe:)
The fourth year at Hogwarts felt busier and more stressful than any year before it. Harry being thrown into the Triwizard Tournament had everyone on edge, and Moody’s unpredictable lessons kept the whole school jumpy. But, out of everything happening around her, what annoyed her most was none other than Draco Malfoy .
They had never liked each other - he’d written her off the moment she was sorted into Gryffindor, and becoming close to Harry pretty much guaranteed Malfoy would treat her like an enemy. Their families never got along either, so there was no real chance of them being friendly.
But lately, something about him had changed . Not in a good way—no, in the most irritating way possible.
He suddenly seemed to be everywhere she was. Every corner she turned, every hallway she crossed, Draco was already there with that smug look on his face, ready to say something that would get under her skin. His comments had become more frequent, sharper, and impossible to ignore.
In Potions, her cauldron had nearly exploded after extra ingredients somehow slipped in when she wasn’t looking. Snape gave her a full lecture in front of the class while Draco sat at his table trying to hide his grin.
When she passed him in the corridors, he and Pansy would whisper loudly enough for her to hear. Crabbe and Goyle always laughed on cue. And Draco would add something rude, just quiet enough that only she caught it.
Across classrooms, during meals, even from opposite sides of the courtyard, she would sometimes catch him watching her. A quick stare. A raised eyebrow. A look that said he’d noticed her long before she noticed him.
Needless to say, it drove her crazy.
Tonight, though, she refused to think about Draco Malfoy. Tonight was the Yule Ball. After weeks worrying about Harry and the Triwizard horrors he kept surviving by inches, she was desperate for a night of calm—music, friends, dancing.
The Great Hall looked nothing like it normally did. Silver decorations hung from the walls, the ceiling was full of floating snowflakes, and the whole place glowed soft and white like winter had crept indoors. The music filled the air in a way that made it hard not to smile.
Her dress flowed behind her as she walked—simple, pretty, and nothing too dramatic, just enough to make her feel a little more confident than usual.
“You look amazing!” Hermione said when she saw her.
“So do you,” she said with a grin. “Viktor’s going to faint when he sees you”
Hermione blushed while Ron turned tomato-red for a totally different reason.
Harry just looked relieved to be away from reporters and danger for one night.
Her Durmstrang date—polite, handsome, and a bit stiff—met her near the dance floor, and for a while she let herself enjoy the music, the dancing, and the warm, bright atmosphere of the Ball.
But then she felt it again—that strange awareness in the back of her mind, like someone was staring at her. She turned her head slightly.
Draco Malfoy stood on the other side of the Hall with Pansy Parkinson hanging onto his arm, but he wasn’t paying attention to his date. He was looking at her—steady, focused, almost frowning, as if something about her bothered him. Pansy elbowed him sharply, clearly annoyed he wasn’t paying attention to her, but he barely looked her way.
Their eyes met for only a moment, but it was enough to unsettle her more than she wanted to admit. She broke the eye contact quickly, lifting her chin and pretending it hadn’t happened.
The night went on. She danced with her date. She danced with Hermione. She laughed with Ron when he wasn’t sulking. The music rose and swelled, candles hovering overhead like floating stars. She was having the time of her life.
Every now and then, though, whenever she glanced across the ballroom, she found those pale eyes on her again.
The third time it happened, she shot him a fed-up glare that said plainly: What is your problem?
He didn’t look away.
Eventually, needing a little air and a break from the noise, she slipped out into the hallway. She settled onto a windowsill with a cup of punch, enjoying the cool breeze and the silence. She’d barely taken two sips when footsteps sounded behind her - slow, deliberate.
She turned.
Of course.
Draco Malfoy.
He leaned against the wall, a faint smirk tugging at his mouth.
“Well, well,” he drawled, “look who wandered off. What’s wrong, L/n? Your date abandon you already?”
She closed her eyes for a moment. Of all the people she could’ve run into—
“Shove off, Malfoy,” she muttered. “I’m trying to enjoy my night.”
She heard him huff a quiet laugh, and when she turned her head, his smirk had only grown wider.
“Touchy, aren’t we?” he said, sounding far too pleased with himself. “Must be rough getting ditched by a guy who can barely speak English. Can’t say I’m surprised, though.”
Her jaw clenched.
Of course he’d say something like that.
“And I’m surprised Pansy managed to leave your side,” she shot back, heat rising in her voice. “She’s been practically glued to you all night. Why don’t you run back to her and leave me alone?”
Most people would’ve taken that as a hint, but Draco Malfoy wasn't most people.
“Didn’t know you were keeping track of me throughout the evening” he said lightly, though something sharper flickered in his eyes. “Guess that Durmstrang boy couldn’t keep you interested for very long.”
That did it.
She stood up from the windowsill so fast he blinked, surprised by the sudden movement.
“Oh, I was the one keeping track of you?” she snapped. “YOU were the one staring at me all night!”
The words hung between them, louder than she intended.
His smirk faded. For a moment, the hallway felt colder. Then, Draco’s expression tightened into a scowl, his eyes narrowing just slightly.
“Don’t flatter yourself, L/n,” he said, the bitterness in his tone surprising her. Noticing the way he dodged the subject, she decided to push it.
“You mean to say you haven’t been acting strange recently?” she said, folding her arms. “Because you have. And it’s already getting old."
“Strange?” he repeated, eyes narrowing. “How, exactly?”
“Oh, don’t play dumb,” she shot back. “You’ve gone out of your way to bother me since September. More than usual. Staring across classrooms, interrupting my work, getting me in trouble every chance you get—”
“It’s not strange" he said simply "That’s called not liking someone” he cut in, his voice sharp.
“But that’s the thing,” she said, stepping closer without meaning to. “You never liked me. So why is it suddenly your full-time hobby?”
His mouth opened—then closed.
For once, he didn’t have a snide comeback ready.
“I don’t owe you an explanation,” he said finally, low and cold. He stared down at her, eyes fierce and unblinking, and something in the intensity of it made her feel almost lightheaded—though not in any pleasant way.
She frowned at the way he said it—sharp, but it also sounded oddly...defensive.
Then he turned sharply, as if that was the end of the conversation.
But she didn’t let it go. He only managed to take a couple of steps before she spoke again.
“If I didn’t know any better,” she called after him, “I’d say you fancy me, Malfoy.”
The words left her mouth before she could stop them. It wasn’t like her to throw something like that out—but he always managed to pull the worst reactions out of her.
He froze mid-step, as if someone had hit him with a Stunning Spell. He then turned around, and she saw that his expression had darkened .
"...Say that again?" He said, voice low and steady.
Seeing him this worked up, she almost smirked.
“I said—”
A burst of loud giggling cut her off as a couple rounded the corner at the far end of the hall, too wrapped up in each other to notice them. Draco didn’t look away from her, not even for a second - he used it as a distraction instead.
In two smooth, deliberate steps, he closed the distance between them. She instinctively retreated, her back brushing the cold stone wall before she even processed what happened. He didn’t touch her—he didn’t have to. The space between them thinned until she could see every shift in his expression.
“Careful, L/n” he warned as he held her gaze, his eyes still burning with whatever she’d lit in him. His shoulders were tense, his jaw tight. "You said it yourself - I can't stand you." He continued "So don’t ever mistake my actions for something else.”
She blinked, caught off guard—not by the words themselves, but by the way his gaze flicked down, seemingly lingering for a moment on her lips. Her own eyes never left his, steady and unblinking.
For a heartbeat, neither of them moved.
Then, almost abruptly, he turned on his heel and strode away. She stayed where she was, leaning against the cold stone wall. She didn’t call after him this time.
_______________
A/n: this might or might not be a scene I'll include in the series 'In between Pride and Penitence'. Hope you liked it!
Summary: A ruined match, a harsh outburst, and a week of silence. When you confront Draco at last, everything he’s buried—hurt, pride, and the truth he’s terrified to say—comes undone in one explosive moment.
It all began the weekend of the Slytherin–Gryffindor Quidditch match.
Draco had been determined to beat Potter that day—more determined than anyone had ever seen him. The pressure from his father, the expectations from the team, the entire House watching him…it was suffocating. And when Potter caught the Snitch right under his nose, the humiliation hit Draco like a physical blow.
He stalked off the pitch furious, breathing fire, convinced he’d at least find you waiting for him—the one person who always grounded him after disastrous matches.
But you weren’t there.
You’d meant to be. You really had. But time slipped away in the library as you struggled through a Potions essay, and by the time you realized the match had ended, Slytherin had already lost…and Draco was already gone.
He noticed. Of course he noticed. And it stung far more than he admitted.
By Monday, the tension was unmistakable. You tried to approach him after Divination, gently—the way you always did when he was wound up and bristling. You spoke softly, tried to calm him, tried to pull him back from the storm that always followed a defeat.
But pride is a vicious thing.
He snapped instead—words dripping venom, thrown like daggers because he was hurting and you were close enough to bleed. The class went silent. Your face fell. And Draco felt the first flicker of regret—quiet, poisonous, immediate.
You didn’t argue. You didn’t confront him. You simply stepped back like you’d been struck and walked away.
And then you stayed away.
The entire week.
He had pretended he didn’t care. He told himself he didn’t notice when you switched seats in Potions. That his stomach didn’t twist when you laughed with someone else in the library. That the empty space beside him in the courtyard meant nothing.
But every night, he stared at the common room door waiting for you to walk in. And every night, you didn’t.
Malfoys didn’t apologize.
Malfoys didn’t chase.
Malfoys certainly didn’t lose their minds over a girl.
Yet here he was—restless, irritated, wand tapping against his thigh because you still wouldn’t speak to him.
He missed you.
He hated missing you.
And he hated that he’d caused it.
Draco stepped into the dorm room, rolling his wand over his knuckles with a familiar nervous tic, though he’d never admit it. His leather satchel slipped from one shoulder and hit the desk with a muted thud. He dropped into his chair, long legs stretching out, one hand running through hair still mussed from flying.
Gods, Crabbe and Goyle snored like trolls, he thought, lips tightening. Blaise shot him a lazy look from the next desk.
“Enjoying the prefect life, Malfoy?” Blaise asked, voice smooth as always.
Draco gave a satisfied chuckle. “Oh, most certainly, Zabini,” he drawled. “Especially knowing Potter’s scrubbing quills for Umbridge right now.”
He flicked open his Potions text, dipped his quill, and began his essay on moonstone properties.
Blaise hummed. “Satisfying indeed.” A grin curved his mouth. “What about Potter’s face when he saw Grubbly-Plank?”
Draco snorted, smirk tugging at his lips. “Good one, Blaise.” He continued writing. “Father says the Ministry’s determined to crack down on incompetent teaching. Even if that overgrown oaf returns, he’ll be sacked.” Satisfaction bloomed across his features.
Then the door opened.
His smirk vanished instantly.
“Merlin,” he drawled without looking up, “don’t you think it’s a bit late?”
Your presence prickled under his skin—and not in the pleasant way it usually did. He hadn’t spoken to you in a week…not since the match…not since he’d snapped at you in Divination like a cornered animal.
You’d ignored him since. Aloof. Distant. Cold.
And Draco Malfoy, whose temper was sharp as a blade and pride twice as brittle, hadn’t known how to bridge the gap.
So he hadn’t.
He continued his essay, jaw tight, tapping his fingers against his thigh—pretending not to notice you.
“Out,” you said suddenly, your voice tight but steady. You gestured toward Blaise and the two sleeping lumps in the corner.
Blaise raised a brow. “Demanding tonight, aren’t we?”
“Out,” you repeated, firmer.
Draco scoffed under his breath without lifting his head. “Out? How dramatic.” He finally looked at you, pale grey eyes sharp. “Since when do you give orders in my dorm?”
But he flicked his wand anyway. “You heard her, Zabini. Move along before you start snoring like the other two idiots.”
Blaise rolled his eyes, smirking knowingly as he ushered the groggy duo out. The door clicked shut behind them.
Silence.
Draco leaned back, arms folding across his chest. “Well? Now that you’ve played commander…” His gaze swept over you, cool and biting but edged with something else. “…what does the Muggle-born queen want?”
There it was. The mask. Cold. Sharp. Cruel.
His tone was ice and fire—sharp enough to cut, hot enough to burn. But beneath it? A flicker of something softer. Almost regretful.
You crossed your arms, brows flickering with frustration and hurt bubbling up in your veins, but you refused to show it to him, "we need to talk" you said sternly.
He pushed away from his desk, chair scraping against the floor as he stood, a graceful motion that spoke of the pureblood elegance bred within. He didn't approach you, not yet, instead leaning against the stone wall opposite you, arms still folded lazily.
He cocked his head to the side, eyes narrowing as he met yours evenly. "Fine," he drawled, tone indifferent. "Talk."
"Why are you acting like this? What's gotten into you?" You asked, tone harsh and questioning, one you knew he never liked.
He pushed off the wall, crossing the room in a few strides, looming over you, his six-foot-two frame making you look smaller. "You want to know why I'm acting like this? Because everything's a bloody mess," he said.
You scoffed, undeterred. “You think you’re the only one in a mess?”
His eyes narrowed dangerously at the challenge in your tone, it was infuriating, how you managed to get under his skin like this—always questioning, always defiant. “And what would you know about messes? You—a girl who barely knew magic existed until her eleventh birthday,” he sneered, looking down at you.
He regretted it the second it left his mouth. He was being cruel, he knew it. But pride had a way of taking over sometimes.
The way your breath hitched—small, sharp, gutted him. You refused to break in front of him, not now. "You're being mean." you whispered.
He looked away first, jaw clenched tight enough to ache. “Mean?” he muttered, voice lower now—almost rough. “No. Just honest.”
He turned back slowly, grey eyes locking onto yours with that infuriating Malfoy calm. "But if you want real mean...I could've said you've been avoiding me like I've been cursed since Divination."
A beat.
Then softer—barely above a whisper. "You didn't have to follow me here just to fight."
“I didn’t want to!” your voice cracked. “Clearly you're not getting the picture here. Don’t you think there’s a reason I avoided you?”
His expression hardened as anger flared. Gods, you were just so bloody stubborn!
“Oh, I understand perfectly well you’ve been avoiding me,” he snapped, sarcasm dripping like venom. “I’m just shocked you didn’t bother being mature enough to talk to me.”
He took another step forward, nearly standing over you now. "So go on then, explain it to me. This mysterious reason of yours for avoiding me as if I have the plague."
“How can I explain anything when you’re shoving me off with your words?” you shot back, voice trembling.
He felt a pang in his chest as your words hit him—but he kept his face schooled in a perfect mask of indifference. Damn it, you were right.
He let out a frustrated huff, raking a hand through his hair. "You could've talked to me any time in the past week," he retorted. "But you chose not to. So what exactly should I have done? Chase after you like some lovesick—"
“That’s exactly what you should’ve done!” You stepped forward. “You couldn’t apologize even once?!”
He froze. Your words slammed into him like a hex. Pale fingers twitched, aching to reach you, and for the first time, the mask slipped. Just slightly. Just enough.
“Apologize?” he echoed. “For what? Snapping in class? Being cold after? Gods, do you even know what you’re asking—?”
“Yes!” you cut in. “Both! You embarrassed me. You hurt me. That’s why I avoided you!”
He stared at you, truly stared, and the anger cracked. "And what about how I feel? You didn't even come to the match that day when I needed you most. I kept looking for you—and you weren’t there,” he retorted.
“I lost track of time! Not all of us get O’s without trying. Some of us have to actually work for an extra point in Potions!”
“Oh please, you could’ve told me!” he shot back. “And now you're here expecting me to chase you. To say I'm sorry, and what would that prove? That I've gone soft? That Draco Malfoy kneels?" He turned away from you again slightly, staring at the dark stone walls like it held answers.
Then quietly—barely above a whisper, "I didn't think you'd want me to."
Your breath hitched, eyes flickering in hurt. The crack in your voice was tiny but fatal.
“…It would prove that you love me.” You swallowed. “And that you respect me as your girlfriend. But clearly that's not what I'm getting at right now.."
The words were like a stab to his heart. He bit the inside of his cheeks so hard it bled, willing his expression to stay indifferent. But a muscle in his jaw jumped, betraying him.
Love.
Girlfriend.
He'd never said those three words out loud. Barely even let himself think them half the time. But hearing you say them so openly, with that hurt in your voice—it made something in him snap. "Is that what this is about?" he scoffed, "you wanted me to say the words?"
"What do you mean..?" you asked, tone wavering.
"You wanted me to say ‘I love you’. Like some pathetic declaration." The words tasted bitter in his mouth. He swallowed, throat suddenly dry. “You wanted me to kneel. To beg. To get on my knees and plead for forgiveness, and what then? You'd take me back? Kiss and make up?"
You couldn't believe his words, “that is not what I said! All I wanted was for you to apologize, is that so hard to ask for?" you remarked, muscles twitching, the frustration and hurt twisting your gut into knots.
“But that’s what it feels like!” he hissed. "Merlin, you have no idea what you're even asking of me." he finished
It sounded even worse out loud.
“You hurt my feelings, why is it so hard for you to grasp that?!” You snapped, fists now clenched at your sides.
"Hurt your feelings?!" he echoed, mask slipping more with every word. "Are we really doing this? Acting like a couple of Hufflepuffs now, talking about feelings and apologies?"
He scoffed, running a hand through his hair, but he didn't move away as you stepped closer. If anything, he stood his ground. Because despite everything, some part of him—stupidly, foolishly—was drawn to your anger, like fire to oxygen.
"You can't demand an apology from me like it's some potion recipe." he added, adding more hurt to the already open wound.
"How could you even say that.." you said, voice lowering with a waver.
"How can I not? God, you're so infuriating!" He closed the distance between you in a few strides—so close now he could see every flicker in your eyes, read every emotion in your face. He was close enough to feel the heat off of your skin. It was infuriating...or intoxicating. He couldn't decide.
His gaze locked into yours, grey eyes burning like a storm. He couldn't back down now. Not when pride was at stake. "You act like everything I do is a personal attack against you." The words came out harsher than he meant them to. But he was frustrated—so damned frustrated. Because here you were, looking like some bloody goddess in the moonlight, and all he wanted to do was touch you. Hold you. Apologize. Beg you to forgive him.
“How can it not be personal? You fought for me—you asked me out—you made me fall for you, and now you treat me like nothing.”
The truth hit like a punch.
He felt his resolve cracking. He couldn't look away from you, you had this hold on him—always had. And now, the pain in your eyes felt like a blade to the heart.
He wanted to yell at you. Push you away. Be mean. Anything to stop this bloody feeling in his chest.
Instead he grabbed you. Hands finding your hips, pulling you close.
"Dont." you yanked his hands away, pulling from him harshly.
It hurt more than anything you’d said. The sharp rejection felt like a slap. He froze—hands hanging awkwardly in the air where you'd just pushed them away—a stark reminder of the rift between you.
He stared at you—at the fire in your eyes, the cold set of your jaw, and something in his chest twisted painfully. This wasn't how it was supposed to go.
"You..you don't want me to touch you?" He asked hoarsely, the bravado fading from his voice.
You let out a pained laugh. "Now you want to touch me? Do you have any idea how you're making me feel right now?” you added.
He took a shuddering breath at your words, letting his hands fall to his sides. Gods 'he'd been an idiot' he thought, A proud, stubborn fool who'd let his own self destructive pride nearly drive you away. Even now, it was hard not to reach out and hold you. But he made himself stay still.
"How..how am I making you feel?" he asked lowly.
You swallowed a breath you didn’t know you were holding. “Like I’m unlovable,” you whispered. “Like I’m just something you can pick up and put down when you feel like it.”
He felt something crack in his chest. Unlovable, nothing...It was all his worst fears coming to life through your voice. He swallowed a sudden lump in his throat.
"Is that really what you think?" he forced out. "That I don't care about you? That I see you as some meaningless thought?" he asked.
"Just minutes ago you seem to think that way yes.." you turned away from him, finding yourself looking through his bedroom window, hands around your body in a sense of self comfort.
The air in the room turned heavy—colder. He watched you turn, your silhouette framed against the moonlit window, arms wrapped tight around yourself, like you were trying to hold the pieces together.
And Merlin, it killed him.
For once, Draco Malfoy—the boy who never lost composure, who sneered through detentions and stood unshaken under his Father's cold gaze—felt something dangerously close to fear.
Not of punishment. Not of failure.
But of losing you.
He took one slow step forward. Then another. The space between you felt wider than a chasm now—not because of distance, but because he'd built walls with every cruel world and icy silence this past week.
"I.." his voice came out rougher than he intended, broken at the edges. "I don't see you as nothing."
A pause. The wind outside rattled the glass behind you like a warning or maybe an omen.
"You think this is easy for me?" he said quietly, "caring about someone who doesn't care about bloodlines? Someone who argues with me in front of Slytherin..stands up to me..makes my chest feel like it's on fire just by walking into a room?"
He swallowed hard, pride screaming at him to stop—but for once, he ignored it.
"You're not a mere thought," he whispered fiercely, "..and Merlin help me—I've wanted you since third year when you hexed Pansy for mocking Muggle-borns during Defense."
A faint smirk almost touched his lips at the memory—but it faded faster as it came.
"And yes..you're my bloody girlfriend. Whether we've said all those sappy words or not." His voice dropped lower, the arrogance gone now replaced by something raw and trembling beneath. "So if that means swallowing every stupid piece of Malfoy pride..if that means saying it outright.." He stepped closer until only breath separated you from behind.
"..then fine."
He let out a shuddering breath.
"Im sorry."
You turned to look at him as he said those words, He saw the glimmer in your eyes—the unshed tears that made his chest ache like a curse wound had split open under his ribs. You were still looking at him, like you could see past the mask he'd worn since first year.
And Merlin help him, he didn't want to hide anymore.
Because this wasn't about him fixing things without touch or charm.
This was about proving, without words made hollow by pride—that you mattered.
More than bloodlines.
More than Malfoy name.
More than himself.
"You're sorry..for what exactly?" you tested, voice quiet and careful, you didn't want to cave into his words just yet. You knew better than that.
His gaze snapped back towards you—eyes meeting yours dead on as the last vestiges of his mask cracked away. He took one more step towards you.
"For everything, alright?" he said. "For being a fool, for being cold. For hurting your feelings. For treating you like bloody vermin this past week." He ran a hand through his hair again that night, his next words coming out strangles.
"For being a coward." He forced himself to meet your eyes again. "Because you're not some toy, damn it. You're my girlfriend." he said sternly.
A tear fell, managing to slip down your cheek. Despite your attempts to give in and pull yourself to his arms, you held your ground. "Why did you yell at me that day during class..i know you were upset about the match..but.." your voice trailed off.
He let out a slow breath, shoulders tensing at the memory. "I was angry," he admitted, "humiliated. Potter caught the snitch again-and again-right under my nose."
A pause. The truth clawed its way up. Bitter and raw.
"But that's not your fault. You.. you tried to calm me down after Divination like you always do. With that stupid soft voice of yours." He swallowed hard, eyes dropping to the floor. "And I snapped at you because..when everything else goes wrong, you're the one thing that doesn't feel like it belongs in my world—the Malfoy world—and I hate how much I need that."
He looked up slowly.
"I wasn't mad at you.." his voice dropped to a whisper, "i was scared of needing you this much..so instead of saying that? I pushed you away."
Another tear slipped down your cheek, and this time, before you could pull back,
He reached out.
Gently—so gently—he brushed it away with his thumb.
"And now look where we are.." he finished.
"You say cruel things sometimes..things I know you don't mean..I hate it when you do that.." your facade completely broke, voice a shaky waver.
He watched as the tears fell. The sight shattered whatever was left of his composure.
"Merlin," he whispered, voice breaking, "I hate that I do that."
Slow, careful, this time, he reached out to your face. His thumb brushing away your tears like it was something fragile..precious.
"I say cruel things because they're easy," he admitted, drawl gone now—just raw honesty in its place. "Because it’s safer than saying this."
He cupped your jaw, soft and steady.
"That you matter to me. That when you walk into a room, I stop breathing for half a second just so I can watch you. That your laugh makes Blaise look at me like he wants to hex me." A weak smirk tugged at his lips—quickly fading. "But if saying those things out loud means you stop looking at me like this.." his voice wavered. "Then I'll say the words every damn day.”
“And if I have to swallow my pride and apologize every single time I'm a dickhead.."
His fingers skimmed over your cheek, tracing it like you were worth everything he ever wanted.
"Then I will."
The air hung heavy between you two—charged and buzzing like a Crucio curse. Every breath felt labored. He was close enough now that the scent of you was in his lungs. And yet he still hadn't touched you. Not the way he wanted. Not the way he'd dreamed of all bloody week.
You looked at him deeply, eyes raw and broken, but despite it all, despite the aching tug at your veins, your longing for him never wavered. "Do you love me?.." you asked, quietly.
The question hit him, knocking the breath from his lungs. He stared at you. Really stared. Your eyes, wet with tears, searching for him like they could tear open every secret he'd ever burned. He opened his mouth. Closed it.
Then-
"..Yes.."
One word. whispered, raw—like he'd torn it from his ribs.
"I do."
A beat of silence as he swallowed hard, jaw clenched against the storm inside him. He leaned closer, until your breaths mingled.
"-you're all I do care about."
His thumb brushed your cheek again, this time lingering—tracing down to your jaw, he could see the faintest ghost of hope flicker in your eyes at his words..and for once, he didn't try to crush it.
Because you—Merlin, you were everything he wasn't.
Slowly, his hand dropped from your cheek, fingers tracing a gentle line along your arm until they tangled with your hand. "If you'll still have me."
"Say it..give me a reason to stay.." you whispered, heart hammering against your chest.
The raw pain in your voice nearly dropped him to his knees, his fingers squeezing yours like a lifeline.
But if there was one thing Draco Malfoy wasn't—it was a quitter.
Taking a shuddering breath, his other hand found your waist, gently pulling you flush against him so nothing but air separated you.
"I love you," he breathed.
"Because every time i don't say it..you look at me like this." he added
"Like what..?" you asked softly, eyes fluttering up at him gently.
His thumb went to your cheek again, his thumb swiping away a stray tear. He could feel the heat of your skin under his touch—warmth and life and everything light he wasn't.
And he hated himself for wanting it as much as air.
“Like you can see everything I'm trying so damn hard not to feel." he admitted softly.
"Don't hide your feelings away from me Dray..not this time.." you said, hand coming up to rest over his shoulder.
He let out a slow, unsteady breath—like he was tearing open his ribs with his bare hands.
"You want me not to hide?" He leaned in until his forehead rested against yours, breaths mingling in the quiet dark.
"Then here it is. No lies. No Malfoy pride." he said, every word now like fire on his tongue.
"I love you, my darling..not because you're powerful or perfect." His voice dropped to a whisper. "But because you're real. You challenge me. Call me out when I'm being an arse..and still—you stay."
"And that terrifies me..because what if one day. You don't?" his fingers tightened gently around you. "So I push first..so I can pretend the fall wasn't mine."
Another beat of silence—just your breathing in the cold stone room.
"But not tonight," he whispered. "No more hiding. If staying means hearing those words.." He pressed a trembling kiss to your temple—soft, broken, honest—
"I love you. Let that be your reason."
You couldn't hold yourself back anymore, with every ounce of your heart, you cupped his face and pressed your lips against in a seer, passionate kiss.
And all the fear, all the doubt, all the bullshit he'd held back for days shattered at the touch of you. His arms wrapped around you like a lifeline, pulling you closer as he pressed his lips to yours. This wasn't a playful kiss, like all the time he'd teased or pushed you away before...No.
This was a promise.
He loved you.
He wanted you.
He lost himself in the feel of your body against his, the heat of your breath, the soft sound of your sigh as your mouths moved together—lips and tongues and teeth. Gods, a week without you had been a week too long.
He sighed against your mouth, fingers tangling in your hair as he gently backed you up against the wall.
"I love you too Dray...if that's what you wanted to hear.." you whispered as you pulled away slightly.
A low groan rumbled in his chest at the sound of his name in your voice. He leaned in again, his lips skimming down your throat, pressing kisses everywhere he could reach—like he was trying to memorize every contour of your body.
"My darling.." he murmured, voice ragged against your neck, something fierce and feral flared in his gut as he felt your hands fisting the back of his shirt. He nipped at your throat, drawing a soft gasp from your lips.
He pulled back, grey eyes searching yours for a second as your chests heaved against each other. It was like every emotion he hadn't felt for a week was crashing down on you two all at once—raw, burning, uncontrollable.
Then his mouth was on yours again and he was kissing you like there was no tomorrow. Every touch was messy, desperate, the soft sounds you made set his heart racing.
"Merlin,” he gasped, breaking away just for air. "I love you, I bloody love you."
His hands found your hips, hiking you onto the edge of his desk—papers scattering and ink staining the wood as he stepped between your legs. Your fingers tangled in his hair, nails scraping over his hair. He groaned to your lips, hands skimming down over your thighs, up to your waist.
"I missed you," he panted, lips trailing across your collarbone, to the pulse that throbbed in your throat. "So damn much."
"I missed you too.." you panted, hands never leaving his hold.
The sound of your voice made him shiver—like a thrill down the spine. He nipped at your pulse, tongue flicking over your skin.
"A week is too long, he murmured, fingers tracing the curves of your body like mapping a new spell. "I can't go that bloody long without you again."
"Then don't mess up.." you murmured breathlessly.
He pulled back to look at you, you were beautiful like this, all flustered, cheeks flushed, and lips parted and Gods, He loved you.
"Never," he swore, "I swear to bloody Merlin, I'll never push you away like that again."
"Is that a promise?" you asked, a soft smile tugging at the corner of your lips.
“I swear on my life,” he whispered fiercely, gaze meeting yours.
"Whatever it takes to never lose you again."
A/N: whew! was that as fiery as i hoped it would be? cheers to publishing my second fic, thank you for reading and i rly hoped you enjoyed! Likes, commentary, and reblogs would mean the world to me<3
Summary: can your friendship with Draco survive after everything that's been done to both of you? Or are you really gone for good?
A/N: Here's the final part my loves~
(p.s. fuck ai and fuck jkr <3)
Sleeplessness plagued me that night. I tossed and turned in memories that distorted themselves. After about four in the morning I gave up and just stared at the ceiling. I was a mess. It was all a mess. It was so easy for me to pack my life up in boxes and move on but I couldn’t get over the hurdle of emotional confrontation.
Draco saved my life.
Draco married another woman.
Draco took a killing curse for me.
Draco fired my entire restaurant on a whim.
Draco offered half of his fortune to keep me safe.
Draco married another woman.
Draco saved my life at the expense of his.
And he might have been drugged the entire time.
So when the sun rose I didn’t call the movers. I didn’t pack up my car. I didn’t even talk to Pansy.
I found myself back at the hospital, alone. The healer remembered me and led me to Draco’s room with a stern warning about keeping things calm. I didn’t even ask to go back. I don’t know if I was ready to see him. But there I was.
Of all the things I had planned for, his father being there wasn’t one. They were deep in conversation. I paused outside the door but Draco saw me.
“Y/n,” He called. I entered the room.
“Ms. Y/n,” Lucius eyed me.
“Hi… if this is a bad time,”
“No, he was just leaving,” Draco glared at his father.
“Yes. It seems I’m not wanted here,” His father gave a tight smile. “Good to see you,” His words were almost kind. Lucius nodded and left. I shut the door, pausing at the handle.
“How are you feeling?” My voice was small, guarded. Pretending like there wasn’t a score to settle between us.
“Y/n,” Draco sighed. “Don’t—not this,” He saw right through my charade. The bastard.
Tears pricked my eyes. “Not what?”
“I know you too well for that,” He said. I turned to face him.
“Then go ahead. Tell me.” I sat in the chair beside his bed.
“You’re angry with me.” He said. “I know Blaise told you what happened. What Desiree can do. But you’re still angry. The things I said… I did… I betrayed you. Your trust…”
I nodded mutely. My eyes slipped shut as I told the truth. “That was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I—I didn’t even care about you being with Desiree. I—I thought I was losing my friend,”
“And I put you through that and I—I’m so sorry Y/n,” He reached out and took my hand. “Please, please forgive me.”
I sighed softly.
“I know,” He groaned. “But look, the Talons is reinstated and I will never take it away from you again. And all of Desiree’s things are gone and my father just confirmed the annulment and—“ He started crying. “I—I’m sorry about the things I said to you—how I doubted you and betrayed you, but I—I need you to keep being my friend and I know that’s so stupid to ask after the hell I just put you through—“ He was so choked up with tears.
“Draco, Draco,” I soothed softly, moving to sit on his bedside, wiping his tears. I couldn’t bear to see him this upset. “I will always be your friend. Even when you are a total ass.” It was a sad truth.
“Good, because that might just be the rest of my life,” he sniffled, cracking a smile. I weakly returned it. “You stood by me at my fucking wedding when it killed you inside. And you still came to save me after what I did to you? Y/n…” He trailed off, tearing up again. “Not many people I know would do that for me,” I put my hand over his in a comforting gesture. “Please stay.”
“What?” It caught me off guard.
“Please. Stay in town,”
My thoughts flickered back to about a week ago when this was a very different conversation. I took a shaky breath. I wasn’t ready to reopen it yet.
“Get rest Draco,” I said softly. “Get yourself healed and I might let you buy me a cup of coffee if you want,” I smiled a bit. He recognized my deflection and accepted it without a complaint.
“I look forward to it,”
He called my name as I went to leave.
“Come back tomorrow?” He asked.
“I—maybe,” I said.
“Please?” His blue eyes begged.
“Okay,” I gave in and the smile that broke out on his face was more than worth it.
I left the hospital room to find Lucius standing in the hallway. I froze, surprised. “Mr. Malfoy, I didn’t realize you were still here.”
“My son took a killing curse for you,” He said. He always spoke so bizarrely direct.
“Yes,”
“I warned you not to ever hurt him,”
“I didn’t cast the spell.” I was too emotionally drained for whatever game he wanted to play.
“No. You didn’t. But he still risked his life for yours.” Lucius narrowed his eyes at me. “My son cannot have a weak spot Ms. Y/l/n.”
I gave a tight smile as anger brewed inside me. “So him marrying some woman he doesn’t know isn’t a weak spot, but a good friend is? Mr. Malfoy your son is in a hospital room with a curse wound from a woman he married after knowing a week. It should have never gotten that far.”
“What are you insinuating?” He said.
“Nothing. I’m saying it. If you care about weak spots you should have protected your son.”
“And what if protecting him is removing you from the situation?” He threatened.
I inhaled. “I’ve had my life threatened once already this week and I have an aunt in Manchester who’s already waiting for me. I tried removing myself.” I snapped.
“You have quite the attitude.” He noted.
“Yeahp.” I didn’t deny it—it was true. He was unimpressed. We stared at each other, two strongholds.
“It would be a shame for that rebellious attitude to ruin your life again.” His eyes narrowed slightly in threat. My head reeled. I should have known he’d keep digging on me. I’m sure he knew more of my secrets than I did. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.
“Yeah, sure,” I gave a weak laugh. “So you know why I came here. Why I’m staying with Pansy. You know exactly where this attitude came from: men like you.” I spat. “So be convoluted and threatening. I don’t care.” My stubbornness ran strong as I squared my shoulders.
“You seem to have a pretty high opinion of yourself,”
“Not at all.” I said plainly. “Actually the first time almost killed me and I’m not sure this time will be different.” My breath was sharp. I paused. “But I care about your son. And it seems he cares about me. And right now… I don’t know if I’m staying. And I’m sorry.”
Lucius studied me and left without another word. I turned, looking through the window of Draco’s room. His steady blue eyes were on me. Filled with so many questions. I’m not sure how much of that conversation he heard.
My gaze dropped as I scrubbed my face. Draco called my name softly. My eyes drifted to his. I walked back into his room and sat silently on the chair beside his bed. I put my head in my hands. The only sounds were the sound of our breathing.
“You don’t have to stay,” Draco broke the silence. “I… I understand if you don’t want to. If… if it’s too much. If I’m too much,”
I nodded mutely.
“I don’t know,” I whispered.
It was all I had.
I found myself back on the bench under the stars. Pansy came out with a warm mug of hot cocoa and a blanket. We sat there in silence for a while.
“What a fucking week,” she sighed into her mug. “Draco okay?” She asked, baited.
“The Amorentia is mostly out of his system. He’ll still be healing physically from the spell for a while.” My voice sounded hollow.
“Are you and Draco okay?” She followed up.
I pursed my lips. “I know he was drugged but holy fuck Pansy.” I said. “He destroyed my whole life in a week with the snap of his fingers.”
“Yeah,” she sighed.
“And that’s not even factoring in that he married someone else!”
“I thought you didn’t care about that?” She mused. “You guys were just friends.” She stressed the word. I gave her a look.
“Yeah because we all believe that.” I muttered. “I love him Pans. He’s my best friend and…” my voice was small as I stared at my empty mug.
“And he destroyed your life in a week and married another woman,” she finished. I laughed at the idea of both of those things being true.
“Yeah,” I smiled hopeless. “It would just be so easy to blame her and not Draco,”
“Well she is a wanted criminal for this sort of thing.” Pansy mused. “Blaise showed me some of her work and I’m damn impressed if it wasn’t so scary. Draco’s case is the first one to ever have a discrepancy. And that’s because of you, ya know?”
I rolled my eyes. “Don’t give me that chosen one bullshit,” I shook my head.
“No one else got through to him Y/n. Chosen one or not, somewhere in his psyche, past the drug, he wanted you,” she said.
I sat with her words. I sat with the love I had for this town. I sat with the new life I had built for myself, by myself. I loved it all. I wanted it all, selfishly coveting it.
I didn’t want to leave.
But what hope did I have that it wouldn’t all be ripped from me again?
When I was younger, my hopes and dreams burned like a bonfire on a Friday night. And now? They were embers, twigs I scrounged up of proof that there was something worth hoping for. And every time I thought that the flame would flicker out, I’d find another twig, a branch, some kindling and dry leaves. But it was never the bonfire I had before. Just little candles that kept the darkness at bay.
My aunt urged me to stay for another month. She claimed this time I had the opportunity to tie up loose ends, and that I should take it. Wondering and regret would drive any person mad, she said. I was always welcome, she promised. But she wanted me to grow, not run and hide.
So a month it was.
The restaurant was the same, but different. There was a fear lingering in all of our eyes, a pain shared. How fickle life was.
I visited Draco sometimes. We never talked about the elephant in the room: if I was staying. So visits were short, and smiles forced often. But every conversation I had with him, I saw my friend again. Another candle to add to my hopes in the dark. The quips and jokes and rambles about some nerdy thing. Draco was my friend. And when he was released from the hospital, I was there to help sign paperwork to vouch for him and his aftercare, knowing Mitsey had the whole thing covered.
It wasn’t the same as before, but it wasn’t bad. Pansy finally convinced me to unpack. Slowly I did. And slowly I found myself in those boxes returned to where she belonged.
A matchbox for my flicker of hope came the next day when Pansy walked into my room.
“Hey, we have a summons to the manor,” Pansy knocked on my door with a letter in her hands.
“What does he want with me?” I muttered, unpacking another box.
“Both of us.” She said, handing me the parchment. Sure enough both of our names were listed for the summons. Why he didn’t just call us, I didn’t know. It said as soon as possible.
Pansy and I both faced the haunting on the manor together as we walked into Draco’s office. He still looked worse for wear, sleepless nights under his eyes, but he was home. And that counted for something. A light sparked in his eyes when he saw the both of us. A smile touched his lips.
“I’m glad you both could make it,” he said. “I have something for you two.” He offered a thick piece of parchment to us. Pansy took it.
“What is this?” Pansy asked as we both scanned the document in her hands.
“The title to Talons and Tempura.” He said plainly.
“This has our names on it,” I said.
“Yes.” Draco said. “It belongs to you two,”
Pansy and I shared a look, baffled.
“What do you mean?”
“The restaurant belongs to you two. The Malfoy company can no longer touch it.” He said solemnly. “I will only be involved if you ask.”
The weight of this action weighed heavy on me. I sank to one of the plush chairs facing his desk, tears in my eyes. My gaze met his glossy ones. He was trying to make amends.
“I’m so sorry,” his voice was rough. I nodded, accepting his apology. “The former staff has been notified and offered compensation for the time lost as well as more secure contracts. It just took a while for the bureaucracy.”
“Well,” Pansy said, choked up herself. “Looks like we got work to do,” she smiled at me. A carefree weightless smile grew on my face.
We left his office but I glanced back one time. There were tear tracks on Draco’s cheeks. Pansy called my name. I was caught between the two of them. I waved her on and slipped back inside the office and closed the door behind me. Draco studied me.
“We should talk,” my voice wavered.
“Probably,” he agreed and stood. “Yes,”
My heart pounded in my chest. His kind and generous actions with the Talons didn’t erase our score. My gaze dropped as I formed the difficult words.
“You really hurt me.” I said. “You—you tore apart my life in a matter of days,”
“I did.” He said. No excuses. No reasons. Just responsibility. “And I’m so sorry,” his voice weakened again. “I’m so sorry I hurt you. And for things you already had wounds for. And I’m sorry I left you bleeding again.” He was crying. “I can never make up for that. I can never undo it and—“ he choked up. “I’m sorry,”
I was crying too.
“And the things I said to you!?” He scrubbed his face. “Y/n why are you even still here!?” He wept.
“She did something to you,” I choked out as if it would make it all better.
“Fuck Y/n! You know that doesn’t make it better!” He shouted.
“No it doesn’t,” I cried shaking my head. “It killed me. And I thought maybe you’d had enough of me denying you and maybe you really had moved on and I deserve that. I—I never deserved your kindness or your friendship after what I’ve done and finally—finally it all started to make sense…” I messily wiped away my tears. “You were right—I—I deserved it.”
“No, no. No. Fuck no Y/n. I have never been more wrong. You didn’t deserve that. No one deserves that!”
“You don’t know what I’ve done!” I shouted back. “The people I’ve hurt, the friends I’ve lost,” my gaze dropped in shame as my voice got soft.
His shoes clicked on the hardwood until they were in my line of sight. Draco’s hand came up and lifted my chin. Our tear stained gazed met.
“No one deserves that.” He said finitely. “Especially not you. I don’t give a fuck about what you think you’ve done. You didn’t deserve that. You deserve to have a home. To have stability. To feel safe.” Draco’s blue eyes cemented those truths.
This was the man I loved. The one who was bold and defiant about the good in me. Who never sugar coated the truth.
I wrapped my arms around his neck in a tight hug. His arms coiled around me, securing me in his hold. I felt invincible like this. Safe. Loved.
“I know you, the real you,” he whispered. “And she doesn’t deserve to be hurt again by the ones she loves.”
I teared up again at his words. After years of being hurt and lost and alone trusting no one, here he was, knowing exactly what I craved. And even a love potion used for death could dissuade him from believing that for me.
Desiree had tried to get to my heart. To the inner workings that were broken and duct taped and Jerry rigged to keep functioning. And she found them. She pressed against them to get them to fracture again. And they did. But it was that pain that broke the spell on Draco. It was her mistake. The depths of who Draco was couldn’t bear to see me in that pain until it tore the very fabric of magic apart at the seams.
“I love you,” my voice was so small and muffled I was sure he didn’t hear what I said. He didn’t respond to it so I felt safe that those words were still my secret.
