Request: I’m wondering if you good do one where Y/N is the twin sister of Pansy Parkinson, and Y/N and Draco have been in a secret relationship and Pansy finds out because she likes Draco and it causes some tension between the sisters.
A/N I wrote in the update for this week that this was a crossover with Winx but it’s just HP, I read the request wrong 😅
You don’t mean for it to happen. You know your sister likes him and you have every intention of staying far away from the blonde boy for that exact reason. But the universe has other plans. Every class is with him, you run into him during all free periods. At one point, you hide in the girl’s bathroom just to stay away from him. You don’t want to admit it but his smile makes you feel things you shouldn’t. The only time you find peace is evenings in the Hufflepuff common room.
“I heard a rumour,” Cedric says dropping down next to you. He slams his potions book on the table along with his half-written paper on top of it. You keep quiet waiting for him to elaborate.
“I heard Draco Malfoy likes you,” he then says just as you’re reaching for your water bottle. You knock it to the ground from pure shock spilling the content all over the floor.
“Shit,” you mumble getting down on the floor to clean up when Cedric stops you. He waves his wand in front of you before magically drying off the carpet.
“Are you okay?” he asks you and you’re not sure how to tell him that you have a thing for the one boy your sister asked you to stay away from but somehow, you manage to anyway. He doesn’t get it. Cedric hates Draco but he respects your feelings.
“You can’t make yourself unhappy because you don’t want to hurt your sister. I’m sure she’ll understand.” You make sound that sounds like something between laughing and choking.
“Have you met my twin sister? There’s a reason she’s in Slytherin and I’m in Hufflepuff,” you say thinking of all the hexes she’ll use on you when she finds out you have a thing for Draco.
“I’m sure she’d be happy for you as long as you’re honest with her.” And you know he’s right, it’s just you’re not ready to tell her. You don’t want to tell her in case nothing happens between you and Draco. But two months pass and suddenly, you’re in too deep. It’s gone from discretely looking in his direction to kissing him in empty classrooms and by the quidditch field when no one is around. You want to tell Pansy because she keeps flirting with him only to be rejected and you feel horrible for knowing exactly why he’ll never return her emotions.
“We have to tell her,” you say one day as you and Draco are walking the grounds. You’re far enough away from the school to be brave enough to hold hands but you still worry someone might see you.
“I don’t want to hide anymore. I want to be with you and I want my sister to be happy for us.” You know it’s much to hope for but you can’t keep hiding your feelings. You deserve better than that and so does Draco.
“I’ll do whatever you want. I don’t really care as long as I get to be with you.” He’s cute - far too cute for how you’ve always been told Slytherins are. You’d worried about Pansy when the sorting hat said she belonged in Slytherin but you had to admit that they weren’t all bad.
“So, you’d be fine lying your entire life if it meant we could stay together?” you say jokingly but he just shrugs his shoulders not seeing the joke.
“If that’s what it took. I don’t think of it as lying if all we’re doing is keeping it private.” You don’t know anyone like him who’s able to spin the truth however he wants it. You, on the other hand, feel horrible as soon as you think about lying. You once told a teacher that you couldn’t hand in your homework because a gnome from the garden had stolen it and you went to the bathroom and cried for half an hour. You hated lying and it made it so much worse that you had to lie to your sister, no matter how Draco spun it.
“I want to tell her. Before someone else does.” And so, you agree to meet that night and tell her together but you wish you would’ve done it alone.
“You’re dating Draco?” Her voice goes an octave higher for each syllable which would be pretty impressive in any other setting. Now, it just freaks you out.
“We didn’t mean for this to happen, I promise. I tried to stay away but I couldn’t just ignore how I felt,” you say trying to reason with her but it’s no use.
“I’m sure you tried real hard, you bitch.” You very rarely fight with your twin sister. You can count on one hand the amount of times you’ve ever raised your voice at each other and it’s always been because you did everything you could to make her happy. She turned into the most horrible person when she was upset, you hardly recognised her.
“Don’t talk to her like that,” Draco says. It’s the first thing he’s said since you sat down. He gives your hand a gentle squeeze to comfort you - an action that doesn’t go unnoticed by Pansy.
“I’ll talk to my sister exactly how I want to talk to her,” she scuffs before returning her attention to you.
“I’ll never forgive you if you don’t break up with him right now. He’s meant to be with me.”
“Doesn’t he get a say in this?” you ask weakly. You don’t want to break up with Draco, but you also know she’s deadly serious when she says she’ll never forgive you. You’ve seen her hold onto grudges for years at a time.
“Well, you ruined any chance for me when you decided to claim him, didn’t you?” You know Draco is getting angrier by the second and it’s only a matter of time before he cracks and takes it all out on Pansy.
“I didn’t claim him, Pans. He made a choice, and I’m really sorry but I thought you’d be happy for me.” You stand up painfully slow hoping she’ll stop you but she doesn’t. In fact, she doesn’t talk to you for the rest of the year. When Christmas comes around, you invite Draco to spend the holidays with you and your family. You don’t tell him but you have a tiny hope that maybe if Pansy sees you and Draco together, she’ll realise just how much he means to you. You had no choice in loving Draco. Stubbornly and violently, it had filled your heart and mind until you had no choice but to act on it.
“You invited him?” Pansy asks noticing his suitcase. It’s the first words she’s spoken to you since you told her about you and Draco and they drip with venom.
“I thought it’d be nice to spend some time together all of us.” It’s the worst Christmas ever. Constantly, your mother has to stop Pansy from ripping into you and once you catch her trying to hex you but she misses you with mere inches. Your hands shake from anger but it’s not in you to yell back or try to retaliate. It must be possible to solve this without yelling.
“I really thought it might change her mind to see you and me together,” you admit on the final night before you have to return to Hogwarts. Your parents are downstairs and Pansy has already locked herself in her room. Merry Christmas...
“She’ll come around,” Draco says wrapping his arms around you. When you go to sleep that night, you toss and turn feeling the toll of the fight hitting you. It’s just getting too much. You don’t fall asleep until 2 am and when you wake, Draco is gone. You walk towards the bathroom to brush your teeth when you spot the most peculiar thing. The window in the hallway offers you a perfect view of Draco and Pansy sitting in the grass talking. When they return, Pansy hugs you tightly.
“I’ve been so horrible to you. Can you forgive me?” You’re speechless to say the least. Last night, she looked as if she were ready to bury the knife in your back and now she’s hugging you and asking if you can forgive her.
“Of course I forgive you.” You hug her again locking eyes with Draco who’s watching with a tiny smile. When you finally get him alone, you press to find out what he said to Pansy but he doesn’t budge.
“That’s a conversation between me and her,” he laughs as you pout. Half an hour of begging and still he refuses to talk.
“It’s not fair, I’d tell you. I tell you everything,” you argue.
“That’s because you’re horrible at keeping secrets,” Draco chuckles leaning in to kiss you but you refuse - at least until he tells you what he said to Pansy.
“You can’t reject me like that. Kiss me,” he huffs with furrowed eyebrows and you just can’t help yourself.

Request: Reader is best friends with Harry/Neville/your pick and people think that they would make a good couple but reader obviously likes Ron. Anonymous
A/N I can’t remember how well this follows the timeline for the movie but just go along with it.
You grab your bag and hurry out as soon as potions finish. You heard a rumour that McLaggen will be asking you to the Yule Ball and you have no interest in finding out if the rumour is true. He’s proven time and time again that he is the most pompous ass-hat to ever walk the planet and you refuse to get tricked into going to the Ball with him. You’ve got your eyes set on someone else but sadly, he’s made no attempt to ask you and you’re running out of time. You head straight for the Great Hall to find the others for lunch.
“Where’s Ron?” you ask noticing that everyone is here except him.
“He’s hiding in the common room,” Seamus say stifling a laugh and Harry elbows him despite him laughing as well. Clearly, you’ve missed something.
“Please tell me what I heard was true!” Fred says plopping down next to you.
“Did our brother really think he had a chance?” George adds grabbing the seat next to Fred. You’re getting really tired of being left out when it seems that everyone else knows what Ron has done.
“What happened?” you ask looking over at Fred for an explanation.
“Ronnie dearest decided it would be a good idea to ask Fleur Delacour to the Yule Ball.” They all scream with laughter and you try to chime in but all you can focus on is how you’ve been waiting and hoping he might ask you only to find out that he wanted someone else entirely.
“At least he asked someone. All of you have dates?” you ask and you’re not even sure why you’re defending him but you can’t seem to stop yourself. When they all nod, you realise that you’ve been pining over Ron while everyone else found themselves a partner.
“Don’t worry. We all know Cedric is going to ask you,” Seamus says wiggling his eyebrows. You’re not sure just how many times you’ve told them that you and Cedric are just friends but it doesn’t seem to sink in. They’re all convinced that the two of you belong together and have made several inappropriate comments on it when you and Cedric just wanted to hangout.
“Maybe I don’t want to go with him,” you respond well-knowing that he hasn’t got a date for the Ball yet. There’s nothing but friendly feelings between you and Cedric but apparently, it’s impossible to be just friends.
“Y/N, we’re all just waiting for the day that you guys admit you’re dating. We all know it anyway.” Harry snickers with the rest of the boys all of them unaware that the boy who’s won your affections is in fact not Cedric but Ron.
“I have Muggle studies,” you excuse yourself leaving behind the group of boys acting like children. You meet up with Cedric outside the classroom prepared to tell him all about what just happened but you stop when you notice his face.
“What’s wrong?” A million thoughts go through your mind before he even opens his mouth. Did he figure out the next challenge?
“I heard that Harry got him and Ron dates for the Yule Ball.” Oh. It makes sense that Harry would get them dates but you just didn’t think they’d work so fast. You’d just seen him in the Great Hall laughing at Ron’s behalf. You look at Cedric and see the pity in his eyes. He’s the only one you’ve told about your feelings for Ron.
“I know I’m second best, but it would be my honour to take you to the Yule Ball.” He gets on one knee and grabs hold of your hand.
“What are you doing?” you whisper-yell desperate to get away from the crowd of people staring at the scene unfolding.
“I’m asking you if you want to go to the Yule Ball with me.” You know he wanted to ask Cho but the fact that he’s unwilling to let you go alone just confirms why he is your best friend. You nod and gets up to hug you. Everyone claps making you blush. You’ve never been good at being at the centre of attention and now is no different. Though you’ll probably have to get used to it now that you’re going with the famous Cedric Diggory. The rest of the week passes in a blur and suddenly it’s the night of the Ball. Your mother was kind enough to send a beautiful dress perfect for the occasion. It matches your eyes really bringing out the colour in them. You notice the time and quickly grab your clutch. You’re running late which is really stupid when you’re a part of the students opening the ball. It’s almost like a movie as you descend the stairs being the last one to arrive. Cedric is waiting by the end of the stairs and a little behind him you spot Ron with his date. He’s staring open-mouthed at you clearly not thinking about his date but you’re mad at him for even going with someone else so you focus on Cedric.
“You look stunning,” he says kissing your hand when you reach him. He gives you a little wink letting you know that it’s all for show. It feels really good as you walk past Ron arm in arm with Cedric.
“Remember what we practiced?” he asks when you reach the dance floor. You don’t really, but he leads you all the way through keeping you from making any mistakes. Ron avoids you for the entire night but you don’t feel like he has a leg to stand on considering how he asked not one but two people to the Ball rather than just ask you.
“I’ll get us something to drink,” Cedric says after several hours on the dance floor. Despite everything you’ve managed to have a really good time with Cedric and you can’t thank him enough for ditching his plan to ask Cho and take you instead. The night is almost over when Ron finally works up the courage to come talk to you.
“You’re okay?” Cedric asks not leaving until you’ve given him the green light.
“You went with Cedric?” He poses it like a question as if it wasn’t what really happened.
“You took Padma.” He scratches the back of his neck awkwardly looking anywhere but directly at you.
“Not really sure where she went if I’m being honest.”
“Why didn’t you ask me?” You can’t dance around the question anymore. If he doesn’t like you, you have to know. You’re done moping around and hoping he might show an interest in you.
“I didn’t think you’d want me to ask you.” You have to take a deep breath to keep yourself from screaming. Why are boys so dumb?
“Ron, I’ve been dropping hints for the last five weeks. I wanted to go to the Ball with you.”
“Hints aren’t fair. You know I never notice them!” he says exasperated. And of course, he’s right. You do know that but you shouldn’t have had to drop hints in the first place.
“But why didn’t you just ask me? You could ask Fleur, Padma, but not me?” He picks at a loose string avoiding the question for so long you’re worried he’s not going to answer at all.
“I’ve heard how everyone wants you and Cedric together. I didn’t think I could compete with him.” He’s mumbling but you’re hanging on to every word.
“There’s no competition, Ron. If I wanted Cedric, we’d be together right now. But I want someone else.” This is it. It’s make it or break it at this point because there’s no going back now.
“I want you. I’m never going to stop wanting you.” He looks shocked to say the least but he hasn’t run away yet which you consider a positive sign.
“If you want me, why did I just spend the night with Padma?” he asks pulling you in for a hug. You laugh thinking of that poor girl.
“Kiss me before I change my mind,” you laugh and he does just that. He’s nervous and unsure but it’s the perfect kiss.
“The night is still young,” you say looking at the dance floor. He holds out his hand and you take it with a smile. You may not have started out together, but you’re really glad you’re ending the night together.
