•IV - See You, Then•

IT WAS wednesday, that day of the week when you're tired of school, but there's still a few days till the weekend, but it wasnt that bad, because Y/N already survived the half of the week, and just half a week more till the weekend.

It was Y/N's second period, Herbology. She enjoys this subject, although not the rest. Some are taking it because it was one of the easiest, and it was in the NEWTs, so they take it.

Professor Sprout told everyone the techniques of telling wich one is a good plant, and wich one is not.

Although, the seventh year Gryffindor wasnt paying attention, instead, she was looking out of the greenhouse, deep in thought. Why did she agree to go on that date with Malfoy?

She thinks it's kind of funny that Draco asked her on a date after Blaise dumped her. She knew Zabini had something to do with this. He has to. Draco wouldnt ask her out if it wasnt needed, because isnt that bro code?

So there's only one thing possible, Blaise got him into it in some way

But what if Draco really had good intentions? I mean, he is a nice guy- sometimes, atleast. But he's decent, Y/N's parents invites the Malfoys over sometimes for some tea, and Y/N would see Draco in their garden, but she wouldn't talk to him.

She would always stay up in her room, reading some kind of book. But she did look at Draco from her window.

"miss Eve? Are you with us?"

With that, Y/N looked at her professor, and since she was at the end of the table, she saw everyone looking at her.

Y/N cleared her throat, "yes, professor, i apologize"

The class then continued, and Y/N listened now, but her mind would still be filled with thoughts about Draco, and what he's on about.

Draco entered the Defense Against The Dark Arts classroom, and he was quite early.

DADA wasnt his favorite, but Blaise was annoying him, so he decided to just go early than have Blaise talk about the girls he's shagged

He was disgusted to say the least. Draco couldn't believe he was friends with him. He was- Salazar forgive him- an embarrassment to the male population.

Draco was raised by his mother to respect women, just how they're supposed to be treated. And he does not regret following his mother.

He sat down on his seat, pulling out a piece of parchment and his quill. Draco started to scribble some words on it, as he was bored.

Absentmindedly, he wrote down Y/N's name, along with his last name. He chuckled to himself, this was so cheesy for him, although he was not complaining. Her name looked great with his surname.

Y/N, then, entered the classroom, Draco not noticing her. She snuck up behind the blonde, smirking

"what are you writing?"

Draco jumped, and immediately covered up her name, making Y/N squint her eyes and raise an eyebrow

The Malfoy put the parchment back inside his bag, carefully so the Gryfdindor wont see it, "none of your business", he said

Y/N shook her head and scoffed, "whatever", she then sat down beside Draco

The blonde cleared his throat, "so how was Herbology?"

"fine", the girl answerd, putting out her DADA book from her bag, "how was free period?"

Draco thought back to his conversation with Blaise, and shiverd, "worse that your Herbology class, i bet"

Y/N shrugged, and soon, the teacher came and immediately started the class

It lasted an hour, until they were finally done with DADA, and it was lunch time

Everyone went into the Great Hall, and immediately put food on their plates

Y/N sat in the Gryffindor table, putting some potatoes on her plate and eating it. Her eyes wandered around, landing on the Slytherin table

Draco sat there, eating his green apple, talking to Blaise. And as if he had a sixth sense, he looked at where he felt eyes

And seeing Y/N, he smile. Not a cocky one, a surprisingly genuine one. And being the good to the good, the Gryffindor smiled back, and went back to her food

Y/N thought, he really wasnt bad as she thought. He's a gentleman, he respects women, unlike someone she knows.

The girl felt her cheeks heat up, and a smile growing on her face. But she immediately caught herself and cleared her throat

She still was not sure about his intentions, and people can be misleading.

Sighing, Y/N lost her apetite and stood up. She got her bag and walked to the library.

A thing she learned this year was, studying was a good way to waste your time.

It was Friday, a day before Y/N and Draco's little 'date'.

Draco would be lying if he said he wasnt nervous, even a little bit. It was cheesy, but even if this was just for a bet, he actually wanted to have fun and get to know Y/N

Like a real date.

And Y/N, well, she's still trying to figure out what Blaise asked Draco to do. Not that she's doubting the Malfoy, he has a little trust in Draco, but Zabini? Merlin, you would not want to know what's going on inside his mind

Y/N walked through the corridors, classes were finally over, and she couldn't wait to crash on her bed and just sleep.

Walking slowly, she looked around, admiring the paintings. She liked art. Just like books, it tells stories, the only difference is, paintings are harder to read

She smiled at the people in the paintings, and said hi. Y/N then turned to a corner, bumping into someone

"oof!" Y/N exclaimed, backing away, and meeting the furrowed eyebrows of a blonde man

His eyebrows unfurrowed, he sighed and said, "i apologize, are you alright?"

Y/N raised an eyebrow, did Draco Malfoy just apologize?

"uh, yeah. Are you?"

Draco nodded, "i am"

The Gryffindor nodded, "good.", she awkwardly smiled and walked pass Draco

"wait!"

With that, Y/N turned back around, facing Malfoy, "yeah?", she asked

"uh", Draco scratched the back of his neck, his cheeks turning slightly pink, "i'll see you tommorow, right?"

Y/N smiled, tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear, "yeah.", she lookwd at Draco, "i'll see you tommorow"

The blonde smiled, "see you, then."

The girl nodded, and turned back around, walking to her common room, leaving Draco blushing.
