Accidental Potion Slippage- Draco Malfoy

Original auther oursisthefvry


Prompt :Draco knew there was something wrong when (Y/N) started fawning over a Weasley. Why the hell did she decide to like a Weasley when he was just about to ask her out?


Draco looked at his best friend who was now currently fawning over a Weasley. A Weasley of all people! He stabbed his eggs viciously, then groaned when it fell off his plate. Can nothing go right? Since when did (Y/N) watch Weasley with stupid love heart eyes? And since when can he not eat eggs?


"Stop staring," Draco grumbled.


(Y/N) turned to Draco, "Huh? Did you say something Draco?"


He rolled his eyes, "Stop staring at the Weasley, you might catch his Weasley-ness." Draco scrunched up his nose at that thought. "Disgusting," he mumbled under his breath.


"Isn't he just dreamy?" (Y/N) placed a hand on top of the table and placed her chin on it. "I mean the way that he eats, it's just," she didn't finish speaking, she just closed her eyes and smiled. And bloody hell was that a small moan emitting from her mouth?


"What the hell is wrong with her?" Blaise asked as he sat down in front of (Y/N). He followed her stare to the Gryffindor table. "A Weasley?"


"Like you can talk Zabini," Theo piped up. He received a light punch to the arm by Blaise. "Dick."


"I swear to god she's been slipped a potion," Draco muttered. It was the only explanation. She didn't like the Weasley's...the only ones that she can stand were the twins and they were long graduated, and the Weasley girl. Unless... she did really like Weasley. Draco shuddered. No, it definitely wasn't that. (Y/N) disliked the Weasley's, not as much as Draco but still.


"I'm right here," (Y/N) groaned. "And I wasn't slipped a potion. It's just you know when you wake up and see someone in a different light, and suddenly they're the only person you can think about?"


Draco sat there silently. Of course he knew, he's been feeling that way towards her ever since fifth year. He was hoping to ask her to Hogsmeade, maybe join his family's holiday to Germany, but (Y/N) taking a fancy to Weasley certainly put a damper to his plans.


"But he's a Weasley," was all Draco came up with. It sounded pathetic even to him, even though he would never admit it.


"Names are just labels." They all watched as Ron walked out of the Great Hall with Potter next to him, then they turned to (Y/N) who started packing up her things.


"And where are you off to?" Blaise asked. "We have a free."


"So does Ron, maybe I can catch up to him." (Y/N) picked up her bag and ran towards the exit.


"For fucks sake, you're screwed mate," Blaise said as she bit into a muffin. Draco groaned and smacked his head against the table.


"Draco! There you are! I need help!" (Y/N) called out as she rushed to her best friend.


Draco placed the book he held in his hands into his bag, "What is it?"


"Hold my hand so he gets jealous." (Y/N) pointed to Weasley who was laughing loudly with the other Gryffindor's. Draco gritted his teeth, he had to pinch himself because he knew that he would do some serious damage to his mouth if he continued.


"Why me?"


"Because you're my best friend, you're extremely attractive and Ron hates you? Please?" (Y/N) pleaded, then turning on her charm -she pouted at Draco. She knew that if she did this action he wouldn't say no.


Draco internally groaned, fuck, it was that pout. The one that made him want to snog her, the one that made her adorable as fuck. "Fine."


(Y/N) smiled and intertwined their hands together. Draco had to rein his gasp when (Y/N) took his hand. Fuck her hands were dainty and small, and so soft. He relished in the feeling for a moment. Unconsciously his thumb rubbed her palm, she threw a curious glance in his way.


Draco could feel sweat emanating from the pores of his hand, all he could do was pray to the gods that she didn't feel how sweaty it was. He allowed himself to be strolled to the Gryffindor's.


"Hey guys," (Y/N) greeted with a smile.


"Hey (Y/N)," Hermione spoke, her tone friendly. Then she turned to Draco, "Malfoy."


"Hi Ron," (Y/N) greeted bashfully. The red-head looked at the Slytherin and smiled. Out of all the Slytherin's she was by far the nicest he came across.


"Hi (Y/N)."


Draco narrowed his eyes. He did not like that tone. He clenched his hands, forgetting he was holding (Y/N)'s. She returned the action by squeezing his hand, almost to the point that he squealed out in pain.


He stood there awkwardly, looking at the trees, the clouds, anywhere but the group. He managed to filter out (Y/N)'s disgusting love-filled talk to Weasley. Draco was too focused in not being focused that he missed Ron's weird looks at (Y/N), Hermione's curious stare. He also missed Harry's eyes widening in understanding. He sighed in relief as he felt himself being dragged away.


Once out of earshot, (Y/N) removed her hand from Draco's. "Ew your hand is sweaty."


How the hell was he supposed to reply to that? Sorry that my hand was sweaty, it was just I've been dreaming of holding your hand since fifth year when I found out that I love you, and I'm pretty sure I want to marry you and have children with you? And that mother and father found out that I love, so they're now pushing marriage upon me? That my mother gave me a ring from the Malfoy vault, so when I got the courage to fucking ask you out and not fuck it up, I have the perfect ring for you? Unfortunately that was not how it happened.


"My palms get sweaty whenever I'm near something hideous," Draco drawled.


(Y/N) shook her head, "Shove off, you git." She laughed at him and linked her arms with his. "I got a date with Ron!"


Oh for fuck's sake.


(Y/N) stormed through the courtyard, pass the Slytherin's and once she reached where the Gryffindor's usually sat, she slapped Ron as hard as she could. "What the fuck, Weasley?"


Draco, as well as the other Slytherin's, ran to where the commotion was. Luckily, they came at the right moment, they heard the gasps and the laughter as Weasley stood there dumbfounded.


"Why the fuck did you slip me a love potion?" Her teeth were bared, her hair wild and her eyes furious. She began advancing, making Ron step backwards, finally Harry stood between them.


"I think I can explain."


"You better have a fucking good reason as to why I was acting like an imbecile fawning over Weasley," (Y/N) spat.


"That wasn't meant for you," Harry yelled. Afraid for himself and his best friend. "It was for someone else in your House."


"Who?"


Harry looked sideways, "Potter, I swear if you don't tell me right now, I'll hex your balls!"


"It was for Parkinson!"


(Y/N) stepped backwards, she laughed, "Pansy?"


"Ron and Pansy had a bet going to see who could slip a love potion," Harry explained.


"That has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard! And so illegal!" (Y/N) looked wildly at the red head, she walked towards him. "You better fucking hope that you didn't ruin my chances!"


(Y/N) turned around, her hair hitting Ron in the face. She stormed past the Slytherin's. Draco chased her. For someone so small she really could cover a lot of space. Upon reaching her, he noticed that they were in their secluded space that they discovered when they were in third year.


"Ruin your chances?" It was meant to be an 'are you okay'? But all that was going through Draco's heads was; what was the chance?


She lifted her head and looked at him, "What?"


He gestured behind him with his thumb, "Before you left. You said: 'You better fucking hope that you didn't ruin my chances'."


(Y/N) shook her head, "For the love of Merlin, Draco! Are you really that daft?"


"What?"


She rolled her eyes and made an annoyed noise, "I've been trying to tell you that I fancy you."


Draco pointed at her, then himself, "You like me?"


"I honestly don't know why," (Y/N) mumbled.


"You like me?"


She rolled her eyes again, "I think we've covered this. Now it's your turn; do you like me?"


"Uh-huh," was all Draco could say. He nodded dumbly as well. He must have looked like a right twat. "Date me?" He could have really slapped himself right then.


She winced, "Oo, when though? My schedule's a bit busy."


"What?"


"Merlin, I really hope that's not the only thing that you're going to say when we go to dinner next week."


Draco shook himself out of whatever he was in, "Right." He straightened his robes and looked at her. "Would you like to go to dinner with me next week?" He put his hand out to her.


She looked at it skeptically, "Draco, I don't know if you know but dating isn't usually a business contract. It's usually not sealed with a handshake."


He abruptly put his hand to his side, not knowing what to do he began side stepping. After doing that action for a couple of seconds, he gathered up the courage and looked at her. Draco saw as amusement was etched on her face, her biting her lip in order to stop herself from laughing at him. "How do you seal it then?"


She took a step forward, then another until she was in front of him. Grabbing him by the lapels of her robe, she pulled him close to her, "Like this." Then (Y/N) pulled Draco, pressing her lips to his.
