"i have an idea y/n." draco spoke as soon as me and ginny walked into the changing room block. "ugh what is it. ginny you go get us a good spot" i say. ginny leaves. "see you in a minute y/n."

"so anyways, i have an idea, let's make a bet." he says smirking, "a bet? what are we five." i say in a mocking manner. he scoffs. "this isn't a little kids bet y/n." he speaks in a husky tone. god he sounds good.

"and what might this bet be malfoy?" i snap. "no need to be aggressive. if slytherin wins, you have to date me, but if gryffindor wins, you get your side of the bet." he says, my eyes widen he likes me?? no it had to have been a dare or something from cranberry.

"tell cranberry his little dare was useless" i say walking away only for draco to grab my wrist and spin me back round. "he didn't dare me to do this i swear." he says. "fine, if- no when gryffindor wins. you need to do my potions homework until let's say halloween so two months, snape hates anything i do so i could use a little hand" i say smirking. "your on y/n/n." draco said while shaking my hand.

"what did malfoy want?" ginny asks as i arrive at the changing rooms. "wanted to make a bet, stupid though he knows we will win." i exclaim. "you better hope you don't loose then, that'll make you look rather stupid." ginny says while laughing, "don't worry. we will win"

"now arriving on the pitch are the gryffindor team! lead by the one and only y/n bathgate!" lee jordan screams through the microphone, the slytherin team were already out and malfoy was staring at me. i look over and mouth i'll give you the first homework sheets tonight. somehow he understood and scoffed.

"and ginny weasley has scored yet another goal for gryffindor!" lee announces about twenty minutes into the game. it was already sixty-ten to gryffindor. it was looking good- not good amazing, i just spotted the golden snitch! i start zooming towards it but CRAP! malfoy has noticed and is following close behind me. "y/n you know you want me to win this, come on be nice" he says loud enough for only me to hear.

this irritated me so i pulled to the left to cut him off, he managed to do a vertical lift into the sky and stabilise himself. i'm not the worlds best female seeker for no reason now am i? just as i'm about to grab the snitch it moves at a crazy speed away from me and draco.

"Y/N WATCH OUT!" draco screams at me, i was too concentrated on the snitch to not notice. then. i was hit by a bludger right in the nose. i heard a crack and felt an unholy amount of pain but i had to win this bet. i couldn't show draco i liked him and wanted him to win the bet that easily.

•••••••••••••••••••••

"seeker y/n has her eye on the snitch yet again!" lee exclaims. "she leans forward for it and- GRYFFINDOR HAS WON!" a massive amount of cheering erupts from all the stands except the slytherin. i landed on the ground and went to hug ginny but, i blacked out.

••••••••••••••••••••

"where am i?" i question once i wake up. i look around and notice i'm in the hospital wing, "lie back down you need rest." i hear a familiar voice saying, i turn to my left to see draco sitting with a bouquet of flowers. roses to be specific.

"draco? why are you here?" i ask lying back down. "i felt bad, you got hit really really hard. also, congratulations on the win" he says with a small smile. "we won?!" i say happily. "yeah you did. give me your homework whenever and i'll do it"
"thanks draco"

won't lie. i'm quite annoyed we didn't win but i'm trying not to seem it. she's hurt. badly, it pains me to see her like this. even though i didn't win the bet, i will still try get her to go out with me. i won't stop until it happens.

i got her some roses from the garden. if only she would've heard me when i was warning her. if she did, she wouldn't be in the fucking hospital!

"hey y/n." i hear from behind us,  i turn to see weaslette. i mean ginny. she isn't as bad as her brother but oh well. "oh hello malfoy." she says snarkily. "gin, it's fine he's being nice" y/n says with a smile.

oh my god she said i was being nice

does she like me

okay no she just said i was nice

but what if she does

that is always a possibility

who knows at this point

i need to chill out. it was just her being polite.

the three of us hung out in the hospital wing until y/n was allowed to leave, "okay woah no" she says sitting back down. my heart rate quickened, was she okay? "you okay?" i question "got really dizzy there that's all" thank god she's okay. "mr malfoy would you mind walking her to her common room?" madam pomfrey asked me. "uh yeah of course"

she stands up and wraps her arm around my shoulder since she was a little unstable, i didn't know what to do. was i to wrap my arm round her waist? no we don't go out. i'll just lean into her a little bit.

"thank you draco..." she says timidly making me blush a little. she's so adorable, sometimes she's sassy and fierce. other times she's like this. shy and timid. "it's not a problem honestly. ginny would you mind grabbing her homework for her i have to do it for her side of the bet" i ask and ginny goes to get the sheets.

"draco- you don't need to do them if you don't want." she says with a weak smile. "it's okay, i will"
"if your sure" she replies she moved closer to me, and she hugged me. after a few seconds i hugged back.

it felt nice and cosy. god i wish i won that stupid bet i like this girl so much. "bye draco" she says walking into the common room once ginny gave me the sheets. i headed back to the dungeons to start them.

y/n pov•

"okay what was that about?" ginny asks, i raise my eyebrows in confusion. "you hugged him." "oh that. he was being sweet." i say back. "do you like him y/n. it's okay if you do." she says. "i think so, i'm not one hundred percent sure though..."

••••••••••••••••••••

i had to miss the next few days of school just to make sure i was okay since i did black out completely. ginny had been giving and collecting the sheets from draco and he was being nice to her for once.

i was finally ready to go back to school the following day so i went down to the great hall for dinner with ginny. we sat next to harry, hermione and ron. i started to eat but felt something hit my head. it was a little note crumpled up.

you okay?

i look and see it was draco that had chucked it, i nod at him and he smiles a genuine smile. not a smirk. an actual smile.

once i had finished i went back to my dorm for the night. tomorrow i had my first class in days and it was flying class. typical. i swear if i black out again.

i completed my night routine and went into my bed. i decided to write a quick letter to my parents to confirm i was okay and what happened.

dear mum and dad,

just in case you didn't know. i had a little accident during the quidditch game. i got hit by a bludger and blacked out later on. i still managed to win however.

i haven't went to my classes the past few days to make sure i was stable and ready. when i woke up in the hospital. draco malfoy was sitting beside me, he seemed concerned if i was okay.

lots of love,
               your daughter y/n xxxx
