In another life (Draco x reader)

Slug Club (51)

The next few days Draco and I had been trying our best to get on with our plan. I had even suggested the liquid luck I still had, but Draco basically forbade me from even mentioning it again, insisting I would have to use it for another matter in the future.

Draco had talked to Snape about our plan and since Neville, Hermione and Harry were all part of the Slug Club I thought it best if I had a shot at trying to get myself invited into one of the Slug Club dinners.

I was walking with Neville one afternoon,

"So Nev, how's the Slug Club?" I asked him trying to be casual.

"They're alright I guess, I thought you didn't care for them." He questioned.

"Well, you know, I've been thinking, maybe if I was invited to one of them it could help as a distraction from Draco and well...you know." I felt guilty about playing the Draco card with him since he always tried to make me feel better about it.

Luckily for me, Slughorn appeared at that second inviting Neville to another one of his dinners.

"Professor Slughorn!" Neville called for him before he walked away. "Uhmm, I was wondering if y/n could come to the next dinner, did you know her dad works at the Ministry?" he piqued Slughorns interest.

"Oh yes, Miss y/l/n, you are an excellent potions student, whereabouts does your dad work?" He questioned me.

"Well, he actually works in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, more specifically at the Wizengamot Administration Services," I said in an exaggerated tone to further pique his interest.

Slughorn nodded to himself "Very well, of course, you're invited Miss y/l/n, any friend of Mr. Longbottom is a friend of mine."

I smiled to myself before Neville and I continued walking. We were about to reach the great hall when I saw Draco, he gestured for me to follow. "Oh Nev, I've just realized I forgot to do my homework for the next class, I'll catch up with you later." I lied turning around and speeding after Draco.

I had told Draco that Harry had been checking on him on the Marauders map so we couldn't stop and talk in a hallway, so instead, we met at the room of requirements arriving from different directions.

"We have our old potions classes back," Draco told me in excitement.

"I got myself an invite to the slug club," I told him as well.

We hugged in excitement. "When do we start classes?" I asked after we pulled away from the hug.

"Next week..." I nodded "oh Pansy is starting to get suspicious, she thinks you're trying to get back with me." I rolled my eyes.

"You had to choose her didn't you."  I scoffed.

He shrugged "What do we do?" He asked me.

"I know what to do, just leave it to me," I answered him with a clear idea in mind.

One afternoon, I was walking around the school grounds looking for someone in particular. I ended up running into the golden trio.

"Hi, guys." I greeted them keeping an eye out.

"y/n are you ok?" Ron asked me. I nodded.

"You've been acting really strange since the Quidditch match. You sure you're alright?" Harry asked me.

"Yeah guys, I've just been tired that's all, I've got a lot on my mind, you know," I explained.

"Draco?" Hermione asked.
