"Leave." So he did. He left and she sat by the benches, to look outside while she cried for a while. For once it was empty. No one in sight. Only the birds, the moving leaves of the trees and a tissue. "Thank you." "You're welc-" "AAAAH!! SHIT! YOU SCARED ME! WHAT THE FUCK! MERLI-" She punched him in the chest. He puts his hand on her mouth to stop her yelling. "Enough cursing for now, princess. So, as I was saying, you're welcome." He bowed his head like a real gentleman. She looks at him and licks his hand, which he didn't move. She bit him, not hard enough for it to hurt of course, and he still didn't take his hand off. "How old are you, L/n?" So she hunches her back and says a muffled "Please" which he complies to. She uses that opportunity and the tissue he gave her to blow her nose. "Thank you, Malfoy..."

"The essay will be written in teams of two, BUT you will have to partner up with someone of a DIFFERENT house, understood?" Said professor Cuthbert Binns "This is shit!" Remus blurted out. "Please, Y/n, how long will this last?" "Sirius is preparing a counter-spell. He'll give it to you this afternoon, promise. No more truth chocolate. Ever." "It was funny though so I forgive you. Goddamn i didn't want to tell you this. Fuck. Shit. Stop. Please. Its so fucking funny. No-" "Class is dismissed for today, have a great weekend kids!" "Thank you professor Binns!" They all said before leaving.

As Y/n walked out the door, she felt an arm around her shoulder and her hair being ruffled. "What do you want?" "To be your partner, princess." "Why?" "Because you know I'm really good at History of Magic classes and that you're absolute shit." "Ok, that's not completely false, but why do you want to help me?" "Because we're friends!" "Since when?" She laughed at Lucius' comment. "Look, you're a shitty gryffindor who has shitty gryffindor friends, what other slytherin will want to partner up with you?" He doesn't give her the time to finish. "Exactly, so I'll see you at the library after dinner."

For the past week and a half, Y/n ate with the house elves in the kitchen instead of with her friends. This evening was no different, but this time she also took some cookies for her study partner.

"Cookies?" "House Elves' cookies. The best."  She said as she put them on the table before going to search for some books. When she sat back down, puffing from all the ones she had to carry, she opened her mouth in shock. "How- How did you write all that already? I didn't even bring all the-" "I told you already. I'm good at History. The goblin rebellion of 1612 is easy shit." "Wow. Never thought Lucius Malfoy would be one to take interest in the goblin rebellions" "Sit down and enjoy me doing all the work, princess." And so they stayed like that for hours, him doing the work and her disturbing him while he tried to do the work, until the closing of the library. At 8PM sharp, Madam Irma Pince yelled at them to get out.

"Hey... What are you going to do for the hallowe'en feast?" He asked. "What do you mean what am I going to do? I'm going to eat. Just like everyone else?" "With the house elves?" "They're nice." He looks at her with a raised eyebrow. "Really? Ok so Sir Malfoy is too good to eat in the kitchen with the hard working elves that cook for him three times a day?" "Well yes of course," She rolls her eyes in unsurprised disgust. "But also the fact that you're a student and maybe you should eat with the other students." "How do you even know i haven't been eating at the dining hall? Are you stalking me or something, prettyboy?" She says taunting him and getting closer to his face. "Everybody's going to notice when the loudest table suddenly becomes quiet." She backs away, remembering the reason why she now eats alone. "Anyways. Shut up. You're annoying." She turns her back to him. "Want to go up the astronomy tower?" He handed out his hand over her head, right in front of her face and she hesitantly took it. He spinned her around and let go before showing her the way, but she didn't move. "C'mon?" She cocked her head to the side. "Aren't you the slytherin Head Boy? You're supposed to be looking for students like us!" "And that's exactly what I'm doing, I'm searching for tiny delinquents up the astronomy tower. Aren't YOU supposed to be a Marauder? You're supposed to be doing this stuff, and do exactly the opposite of what people like me tell you to." He switches up her words as he gets closer to her. "Okayyyyyyyyyyyyy. You got me pretty boy."

"Do you... come here often?" She says, pausing from all the stairs. "Really?!? Aren't you not even a little bit tired?!??" "Yes to the first question and no for the second" "Ok... Cool..." She gives him a thumbs up and a smile as she nearly dies of exhaustion. "I'm having an asthma attack, ok? I'm not weak." "You don't even have asthma, you liar." "How would you know, Malfoy?" "Merlin's beard, hop on my back already." She stops. "What?" "Hop. On. My. Back." A statement she doesn't even question. She does as he says with a big smile on her face. Her smile dies down as she rests her head on his shoulder and shyly asks him, "Why are you doing all this?" "Doing what?" "Being nice? Being... somewhat, kind off, a little bit my friend..?" "Because you don't have any." "OH SO IT'S PITY!?" "Yes. You are absolutely pathetic." "Don't say that. I'm sensitive and i'll cry." "The thing is... I don't care, sweetheart." They pause for a bit. "I'm glad you're back to normal..." She hugged his neck tighter and plopped her head back down "Me too."

"I mean you weren't THAT nice actually. You were still a bitch but like-" "Y/n." "Damn saying names now, Malfoy?"
