hey bubs! this is kind of a weird time for me to post but i hope y'all don't mind😁

i don't really have anything to say sooo

enjoy!!

I ended up not telling Harry about my realization, as I wanted to process it for myself first. Plus there was a small fear of him rejecting my theory and acting as if it was idiotic.

It was now the next day and the end of the school day, so Pansy and I were walking back to our dorm. Every school day was pretty similar, except for the few students from Beauxbatons who didn't always understand what the professors were teaching- Which annoyed Snape especially.

"I know I'm supposedly 'loyal' to Blaise now, but Merlin's beard that french hottie in Transfiguration," Pansy widens her eyes, trying to hold in a laugh.

I laugh at her wording, turning the doorknob into our dorm. Everything was normal looking except the small bouquet of flowers that lay on the bedside table in between our beds.

"Wow Zabini getting you gifts already?" I smirk at her, setting my bag down on my bed as I ignore the slight jealousy I was feeling.

She walks up to the flowers, unfolding a small note that lay near the bouquet. "Says there for you!" Her mouth gapes open as she grins at me.

A confused expression immediately grows on my face before I quickly walk over to her and read the note. "For Y/n Y/l/n" is written neatly on the small note, only growing my confusion further. I look at the back of the note, searching for any sign of who its from.

There was a small possibility it was from Draco, though I highly doubted it.

"It doesn't say who its from?" Pansy asks, sitting down on her bed.

I shake my head, my eyes still staring at the note as if the answer of who it was from would soon show up.

A few hours go by, Draco, Blaise, Pansy, Theo, Goyle, and myself all hanging out in the common room. I hadn't been paying too much attention to their conversations as I read a section from my potions book while taking notes on it.

I'm sat in my usual spot across from the couches, up against the fireplace. Pansy and Blaise are sat next to each other in the corner of one of the couches, while Goyle sits awkwardly a few feet away from them. Theo is laying down on the ground near me, his arms stretched out as he seems highly exhausted. Draco sits in one of the emerald green sofas, though he didn't seem to pay much attention to the conversation either.

"Speaking of interesting things," Pansy says, and I can feel her eyes on me. "Y/n was sent flowers today."

My eyes widen immediately and my cheeks heat up from panic. I keep my eyes down on the book, trying to ignore the feeling of Draco's eyes burning through me.

Blaise wolf whistles, causing laughter from Goyle and Theo. "Who's the lucky man?" He asks, his gaze on me though I keep my eyes down.

I shrug in response, not really feeling like talking. It made sense why Pansy brought it up as she didn't know about Draco and I, though I very much wish she didn't.

"The note didn't say who it was from," Pansy says annoyedly.

"I'm sure we could find it out for you," Theo grins goofily at me from the floor, so I can actually see him whether I'm looking at my book or not.

I huff humorously, pulling my knees closer to my chest. "I'll pass on the offer," I mumble quietly, still staring at my book.

"Well, do update us on your secret admirer," Blaise smirks as he slowly stands up. "Its late though, we should get back to our dorms."

Pansy and Goyle stand up as well, while Theo lazily struggles to get up and off of the floor.

"You coming Draco?" Blaise asks the blonde who repositions himself in the sofa.

"I'll be there soon," Draco responds quietly.

The boys all nod in understanding before going to their dormitories, shoving each other jokingly as they do so.

"Y/n?" Pansy asks, looking back at me.

I give a quick glance at Draco before looking back down to my book. "Uh I think I'm gonna go check if Snape is still awake. I have a question for him." I say, knowing Draco would want to talk.

She nods hesitantly before walking away towards the girls' dorms.

I bite my bottom lip gently, still staring at the potions book in my lap as the awkward tension grows with the silence.

After a few moments of silence I hear a quiet huff from Draco as if he's laughing. "Y/n-" He says, slowly turning his head to look at me. My eyes slowly look up at him though I keep my head down. "Scared of me all of the sudden?"

My tongue pokes the inside of my cheek as I try to think of something to say. It wasn't often that I was speechless, though I couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment.

"I'm not mad about the flowers," He smirks.

My brows furrow with confusion before I set down my book and look at him. "Why not?"

It was sort of a weird thing to ask, though it seemed fitting as Draco often got jealous over boys who had any part in my life.

"I think it was a nice gesture," He shrugs, standing up and slowly walking over to sit in front of me. "Y'know you should probably kiss him."

My eyes widen as I look between his eyes for any sort of jealousy or joking."What?!"

I panic as my mind races through thoughts and theories. Maybe he didn't like me anymore. Maybe he was telling me that I should go find another boy. Maybe he was even thinking that I don't like him.

All these thoughts rush through my head before a smirk grows on Draco's lips, causing me to realize.

"It was you!" I say, gasping in shock. "You-" I slap his shoulder, "little-" I slap his shoulder again, "git!" I slap it one more time.

He laughs throughout my small temper tantrum, clearly amused by my anger. "Didn't like the flowers?"

I roll my eyes, standing up and walking over to the couch that Pansy and Blaise were sitting at a few minutes ago. "I think I would've enjoyed them more if I wasn't filled with panic." I scoff quietly before plopping down onto the couch.

Draco smiles childishly as he walks over and sits next to me, resting his arm on the couch behind my head.

I turn to face him so I'm sat criss-cross applesauce. "What would you have even done if it wasn't you who gave them to me?" I question him as he stretches his legs out to rest on the coffee table in front of the couch.

"Get Blaise to bury the boy's body," He shrugs nonchalantly.

I scoff quietly. "You wouldn't."

He slowly turns his head to look at me. "Says who?"

I roll my eyes before my hand brushes through his soft hair. "I wouldn't let you," I raise my eyebrows.

He gives me a small smile, glancing down at my lips before he looks back up to my eyes. "You have pretty eyes," He mocks me.

I glare at him, though can't help the smile that grows on my face at his joke.

A few moments go by as we sit in silence, while I play with the silver rings on his finger then remember the necklace he had given me. I slip it out from underneath my sweater and roll it in between my fingers before Draco clearing his throat catches my attention.

"Do you remember third year Halloween?" He asks quietly, looking at the necklace in my fingers.

"Mhm," I nod, leaning back on the couch arm.

"Well I read in a book today that apparently no one can apparate or disapparate within Hogwarts grounds," He says, a slightly concerned tone in his voice.

"Then how did I do it?" I ask, sudden panic rising within me.

"No idea," He shrugs. "It only says Dumbledore has the power to do so,"

I bite my bottom lip gently as I process all of this. Though it wasn't very far when I apparated, it was still apparition, which meant I really wasn't supposed to be able to.

I had only thought it was weird because I was 13, but now realizing that no one in Hogwarts should be able to do what I did... it was more than just weird.
