Draco Malfoy Imagines

Enemies:

It was potions. Snape thought it would be a 'fun' idea to put me and Draco together as partners. After begging him to change his mind, and being unsuccessful, I dragged myself over to sit with Malfoy. Although I was a pure-blood Slytherin, he still found a need to hate me. For the first part of the lesson, none of us talked, or even glanced, at eachother. It was only when we had too make some kind of contact that we did.

It was only 5 minutes of us working together when everything started going wrong.

"What are you doing? Why are you putting that in?!" Draco shouted.

"Because you told me too!" He ran his hands through his hair.

"You are a nightmare." He muttered.

"And you are a dick!" He raised an eyebrow. I crossed my arms over my chest, as if saying 'fight me'.

"Miss Y/L/N, swearing is not tolerated in my lesson." Snape's monotone voice said from behind me. "10 points from Slytherin." Draco huffed. A few scattered groans sounded from Slytherins across the room.

When Snape went, Draco turned to me.

"Well done, Y/N. Now your gonna loose it for us." I scoffed.

"You would do anything to get me in trouble, wouldn't you?" He smirked, turning back to the potion. I just rolled my eyes.

It had been a few more lessons of potions. Me and Draco had managed to work civilish. Aside from a few insults here and there, we managed to get the work done.

But it all changed the last lesson.

I was staring into the distance, not paying attention to the show Snape was giving. My mind was thinking about the normal things: Food, bed, books, Draco, food... wait, what?! Draco? I sat up in shock. My mind wandered to his fluffy hair, how it always looked lighter when it had been raining. His eyes, how I feared I could drown in them if I looked for to long. His jaw line. His lips. How I wanted to kiss his lips...

What the fuck?!

I had a crush on Draco.

I love Draco?!

Draco Malfoy?!

"Miss Y/L/N! Do you care to explain what could possibly be more important than this lesson?" I was still in a trance. I don't know why I did it.

"I love Draco!" I didn't realise I had said it until I had. Shocked sighs sounded across the room. Loud laughs coming from the back. My face flushed red; what the fuck did I just do?!

Snape coughed, strangely amused by the whole situation. "Well, I'm sure you and Mr Malfoy can work that out in your own time." I shook my head, tears pricking my eyes. "Now class, turn to page 137-"

The lesson couldn't of gone any slower. I went to dinner, ate with my friends, avoiding contact with anyone in my Potions class, the decided to head to the library. Luckily it was quiet here. I needed to be alone.

Slowly, I made my way to the common room. I took my time, dreading going in for I knew it would be busy. Then I reached the portrait hole. I muttered the password, dragging my feet. Then I heard voices.

"I would never even dream of going out with her! She's such a nightmare. I mean, she's not even attractive." I could pick that voice from 100. Draco. A few laughs echoed through the common room. "I hate her! I wouldn't even notice if she left or... or died or something!" Tears escaped my eyes, empty tears that meant nothing.

"When Snape said we had to be partners... I wanted to jump in a hole. How could anyone even be around her on a day to day basis?"

"It's so hard. I mean, I've never liked her. I guess I'm just an amazing actor!" The shocking truth hit me. That was my best friend talking! Without another second, I walked through to the common room. The laughter stopped when they saw me. Draco didn't seem to notice me at first. It was only when he realised the laughter stopped that he turned around.

As soon as he saw my tears, he knew I had heard everything. We just stood, staring at eachother, not saying a word, for at least 30 seconds. He wasn't smirking. He wasn't smiling. He was just... staring. My bottom lip began to tremble. Quickly, I pushed my way through the crowd and ran up the stairs to my room, not even trying to silence the sobs that escaped my lips.

~•~

I only went to breakfast the next day because I had too. I decided I didn't want people to think I was... scared. Or ashamed. With my head held high, I walked into the great hall. Some laughter died down. Talking stopped. My feet carried me over to the Slytherin table. Rather than sitting with my 'friends' I went and sat by myself at the end.

I felt about 50 pairs of eyes on me, watching my every move nervously. I had enough.
Not so carefully, I slammed my cutlery on the table.

"What?!" I shouted. That was when all talking stopped. The whole hall went silent. The slytherins turned back to their food. The hall resumed talking. All pairs of eyes turned away. Apart from one. Of course, I could feel the icy glare of Draco on me. I could feel the butterflies erupt in my stomach, no matter how much I willed them not to.

Then I couldn't take it. Completely abandoning my plate, I got up from my place and stormed out of the hall. No one really noticed; apart from one.

I didn't exactly care who heard me. I couldn't get anymore embarrassed than I already had been. Frustrated sighs escaped my lips as I found an empty corridor. I wish I could keep my fat mouth shut. God, it's not like I even like Malfoy! My body sunk against the wall. I banged my head against it, lightly but hard enough to feel the slight ache each time.

"Y/N?" My eyes shot open; I hadn't even realised they were shut. I recognised the voice instantly. Of course it was Draco.

"What do you want?" My eyes met his. I was shocked to see he was... crying?

"I'm s-sorry, Y/N. I was, and still am, a fucking dick. I was just shocked that you liked me because... Because I've liked you since first year. Like when you helped Longbottom, when the rest of us were dicks to him. Or gave that kid your quill when his broke, even though you knew you would get a detention. Your so selfless. And... beautiful. Fuck it. I love you, Y/N. I fucking love you."

I scoffed. "Well you have a funny way of showing it." A tear rolled down his cheek; my heart shattered.

"Listen, when Snape said we were gonna be partners, I did want to jump in a hole. But not because I didn't want to work with you. I just didn't want to make a fool of myself. And I just can't think of any other way to talk to you than... putting on a mask. An act." I took in his words slowly, carefully.

"So basically, you are in love with me, but you were too worried about your reputation to act like you loved me, so you decided to make a fool of me rather than you just to prove your love for me?"

Butterflies turned into dragons. I didn't want to believe him. But deep down, I did. Tears rolled down his cheeks. He ran a hand through his hair, messing it up. My heart took over. Slowly, I rose from the ground. Draco looked at me, carefully. I stood a few feet in front of him, using my fingers to wipe the tears from his face.

"You really love me? No ones gonna like, step out and shout 'April Fools Day' or something?" He nodded fiercely. My hand stayed still on his cheek. Draco's eyes shut, savouring my touch. What was I doing? He made a fool out of me, made me cry more than I've ever cried before, made me feel... stupid. So why did I want to kiss him?

Why?

Because I loved him.

Gently, I cupped his face, inhaling deeply, my heart rate quickening. He didn't seem to realise what I was doing until my lips met his. It was just a test at first, to see what would happen. But when Draco started moving his lips against mine, I was completely absorbed.

We didn't move to fast. We moved perfectly.

Yesterday we were enemies.

Now we're perfect.

Not really sure 'bout this. It kinda dragged on a Bit. Let me know in the comments. ❤️
