Over Christmas break Y/n and I spent a lot of time together. During our time together she urged me to open up and just talk to her about myself. I'll admit at first I was pretty skeptical, why would she want to know anything about me? She informed me that this was the only way we could get to know each other better. I was very hesitant to let her in, so she bribed me. Y/n said that if I told her three things she didn't know about me that she'd give me the dirtiest makeout session of my life, so I caved. I'd be dumb to say no to that. Though, overtime she no longer had to bribe me with makeout sessions, I began to willingly tell her about my life and my day, small stuff, mostly any happy memories. I tried to keep my family out of it as much as possible.

Then we inevitably had to go back to school. At school I never left her side. I had to know where she was at at all times and what she was doing. I had to make sure her and Diggory weren't getting cozy. And if that were ever to be the case I wouldn't hesitate to beat his ass, he's not worthy of her, only I am.

As we're walking to our last class of the day I hear an annoying familiar voice. I turn back and sure enough it's Lovegood. I've managed to keep Y/n all to myself for the past couple weeks since our return and I honestly don't understand why needs anyone else other than me. Whats Lovegood have to offer that I don't.

Y/n greets her and tries to escape my grasp but I don't let her. Maybe if she sees that I don't want her to go she'll stay. Ugh, never mind she looks pissed, I better let go.

As she engulfs Lovegood into a big hug I can't help but squirm. I can't stand to watch Y/n being touched by someone else other than me, even is she's just a friend. As soon as she lets go of the Hufflepuff I walk up to her with dominance and clutch her tight as I shove my tongue down her throat, but not in a messy way, I kiss her with passion. I want everyone to know she's mine.

"Draco-" she breathes heavily.

I roll my eyes and finally let go.

I shoot Lovegood a glare and make my way to my class. Alone.

_______________

After class I get changed into my my practice clothes and meet up with the Quidditch team on the field. Our captain: Marcus Flint, gathers us all up in the center of the field to talk plays. He makes it very clear that we have to win against Gryffindor in order to win the house cup this year.

After all the chitchat we finally get down to business and run the plays Flint made for us. As seeker I have the hardest job out of anyone on the team. Me catching the snitch could make it or break it for us. It's a good thing I'm the best seeker.

We run a couple practice games in which I catch the snitch in every game. And after about 2 hours call it a day.

____________

After practice I walk back to the common room and upon arriving I take a quick glance around the room and continue walking up to my room. I quickly stop in my tracks processing who I just saw in the common room and walk back into the center of the common room that's only filled with about five people or so and recognize her. Y/n. She must have fallen asleep reading given the book that's positioned on her stomach. god, she looks so beautiful. I feel a smile creep up as I observe her sleeping and realize that we're in public. She fell asleep in public. 'Classy' I scoff.

I make sure my Quidditch bag is securely placed over my shoulder and pick her up with both hands so that her head rests on my chest and her feet hang over my forearm. I carry her up the stairs and decide to take her to my room. I could've put her in her room, but I like having her with me as much as possible.

I gently place her on my side of the bed and pull the duvet over her after placing a soft kiss on her forehead. Bighead.

I place my Quidditch bag by my dresser and and walk into the bathroom to take a shower. After getting out of the shower and changing into something more comfortable I walk out and notice Y/n who's awake.

"Get enough sleep?" I chuckle, approaching the bed to take a seat next to her.

I notice her flutter her eyes and that her voice is still a little raspy from her nap.

"Why'd you move me?" she questions.

I scoff.

'Why'd you move me?' I'm not going to let her rest on that old couch when she could be resting here on my soft ass bed. I should be getting a thank you.

"So, you'r telling me you prefer that moldy couch over this big soft bed?"

She rolls her eyes and gets up from the bed. But before she can make it far I grab her arm and pull her back to the bed so that she's resting on my chest. I gently move her hair away from her face so that I can see her.

"You're gorgeous you know?"

She looks up at me to respond.

"And you're clingy you know"

Clingy? No, I just have to be with you at all times. I can't let anything happen to you.

I slowly remove my arm around her waist but she quickly puts it back as she burrows her head into my chest.

"You know, I can always go back to being cold and distant" I tease.

"I think that's best" she chuckles placing a soft kiss on my lips.

She gets up and offers me her hand. "Dinner?"

I nod in agreement getting up.

~~~~

Dinner was pretty casual just like any other dinner. I was actually having a nice time with Y/n and my friends, it had been a minute since we've all hung out, like I said earlier; I've been trying to keep Y/n to myself for as long as possible. Of course, I told Blaise about us and then eventually Crabbe and Goyle. I like letting people know about her, getting to say she's mine.

As dinner goes on Y/n abruptly gets up to leave. I don't think much of it at first so I stay engaged in the group conversation. But after about 10 minutes pass by and I see that she still hasn't returned. I look around the room staying in my seat to see if I can spot her. As I scan the god awful Hufflepuff table I notice Diggory's gone as well. This god damn fucker. I swear I'll kill him.

I jolt up from my seat and exit the great hall. I look outside the hall, nothing. I proceed to the courtyard and sure enough she's there. With him. As soon as Diggory notices me approaching he leaves. Coward. He knows I'd fuck his shit up.

As I walk over to Y/n fuming with anger, I stare at her angrily waiting for her to turn around and notice me since her back is faced towards me as she watches Diggory walk away.

"What the hell were you two talking about" I fume looking her dead in the eye.

"Ok first calm down-" she defends.

I scoff.

"Did I stutter? What the fuck were you two talking about?" I hiss.

She rolls her eyes, crossing her arms.

"Come talk to me when you're done being childish," she growls giving me a dirty look before she walks away.

Childish? she's the one talking to a guy even though she's in a relationship with me!

"You like him, don't you?" I accuse turning to her direction.

She turns back giving me a look of disgust before proceeding on.

I walk down the empty hall with a million things running through my mind. What does she see in him? Does she think he's better than me? Is she losing interest in me? Why? I've tried so hard to better myself for her, I don't understand.

I find myself in a vacant bathroom and start pacing around uncontrollably. I could kill Diggory. But I have to push those thoughts away, because I know that if I so much as touched a hair on him Y/n would be sure to never talk to me again.

"Aghhh!"

I begin to smash one of the bathroom mirrors with my fist and end up smashing all three of them. After making a complete bloodbath from my oozing fist I place my hands on the sink, putting all my weight on it and look down.

If Y/n wants him she can have him. I'm done.

________________

Over the past several days I did my best to avoid Y/n, she's probably already snogging that Hufflepuff. But what do I care, I should've known a girl like her could never like me.

The days are much more empty and slower nowadays. I try to fill up my spare time by practicing Quidditch or by spending time with the boys. Blaise constantly urges me to talk to Y/n and assures me that she isn't snogging Diggory. But even if she wasn't, it'd only be a matter of time before she does anyway. She hasn't tried reaching out to me at all, doesn't even look at me. She's clearly done with me and that's fine by me, I can get any girl I want. I'm Draco Malfoy!

I get up from my bed and grab my bag to head off to another dull lesson of DADA. Though me and Y/n have every class together she no longer sits by me anymore, rather she sits with Luna or Blaise any chance she gets. And when she isn't sitting by Blaise he sits by me. In DADA she has Luna to sit by, so I always sit with Blaise during this hour.

"Good afternoon everyone" Professor Lupin announces. "Given that we're suppose to have a project each semester we're due for one now" he claps.

"Great another dumb pointless project." I mumble to Blaise.

"You and a partner, which will be assigned to you by me. Will research different spells and how they prove to be useful in the wizarding world. The guidelines for this project are here on the board and if you have any questions let me know. Alright none? Ok then, without further adieu these are your assigned partners."

"I swear I better not get stuck with some dumbass" I announce to Blaise.

"Draco you are the dumbass" he mocks.

"Shut it Zabini" I seethe.

He laughs quietly.

"Alright here we go: Lovegood and Abbot, Weasley and Chang, Zabini and Granger, Malfoy and Y/l/n..."

Holy shit.

"... Ok everyone, go ahead and meet with your partner and start brainstorming until the end of class."

Blaise turns to me.

"I really have to deal with the know it all Gryffindor" Blaise scoffs. "You on the other hand, better work this shit out with her." he scolds. And with that he leaves our table to reluctantly join Granger.

I stay seated in my seat staring at the back of Y/n's head wondering what she'll do. She'll probably ask to switch partners or something. Shit. I don't want her thinking that I'm waiting for her to decide, so I better just do it instead. But before I can follow through with my plan she walks over to my table and takes a seat in the empty chair next to me.

I'm instantly hit with the sweet familiar smell of her. The smell of fresh strawberries and honey on a warm summer day.

"Hello Draco" she greets.

I clear my throat.

"Hey".

I notice her eyes shift down to my hand thats wrapped in cloth due to the outburst I had last week in the bathroom.

"What happened there?" she questions pointing at my bandaged hand.

I shrug placing my hand at my side keeping it out of her vision.

She hums.

Silence.

"If we want to get any work done, I think we should agree to a clean slate" she says.

Clean slate? As in forgetting our past relationship? Moving on? No. Absolutely not. I won't accept her being with anyone else but me. But I can't tell her that, what if she's already moved on?

She starts jolting her leg impatiently as she waits for my answer, but I don't budge.

"Ok, um, I can do the project myself" she says breaking the silence.

Without another word she returns back to her table and waits for the bell to ring as she stares off into oblivion resting her chin on her hand.

Once class is let out I walk back to my room and try to do homework for the next couple hours, but I can't. I can't, because I can't stop thinking about her. Seeing Y/n brought a lot of old feelings back. I hated not being able to touch her, not being able to reach over and hold her hand. I hated that she wanted to start over and forget everything we ever had. No. I wasn't going to let her do that. I'm tired of not talking to her. I'm tired of not being able to touch her.And I'm sure as hell not going to let Diggory be the reason why we broke up.

I storm out of my room and start searching for Y/n. I graze over the common room to see if I can spot her there, nope. I start down the hallway and head to the library, her favorite place to study at.

I walk into the library and see her and immediately stop at the door way. Her back is faced towards the entrance. She's seated at a table all by herself with a stack of books next to her, no doubt working on what's meant to be our project. She placed her quill down and walks over to the nearest bookshelf.

I rush up to her and spin her around so that we're facing each other and smile down at her before kissing her softly. I'm hoping she'll consent to another and to my luck she does. I wrap my arms around her and hold her in a tight embrace.

"I'm sorry" I announce softly in her ear.

She further burrows her head into me.

"Good, because I missed you" she beams.

"Me too" I sigh.

We let go and gaze into each others eyes for a second before she breaks the silence.

"Come on" she says intertwining her hand with mine as she leads me out of the library.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"You'll see" she sings.

She brings me up to the astronomy tower and takes a seat against one of its walls pulling me down with her. I slither my hands around her waist as I place my chin atop her head.

"We haven't been up here in awhile" she states looking out into the distance.

"Then we'll just have to make up for lost time" I respond.

"Hmm, I'd like that" she says joyfully.

I take her left hand and check to see if the ring I gave her is still there. To my relief it is, it's exactly were I placed last, on her index finger.

"You know, I never took it off" she smiles looking up at me.

I gently pull her off of me and shift over to her side placing small kisses all over her face as she giggles, starting from cheeks up to her forehead and finally at her lips.

"I love you y/n."

"I love you too Draco."
