Y/n rolled her eyes hard.

"Pansy's asleep" Y/n whispered and tried to shut the door, but he put his foot out to stop it shutting.

"I'm not here to see her" Draco replied.

"Can we talk?"

"No Drac-"

"Please?" He pleaded.

Those eyes will be the death of me.

"Fine, but not here." She grabbed her dressing gown and threw it on and headed to the common room, with Draco following like a dog.

Draco slumped on the sofa whilst she sat beside the fire, facing him.

"I don't really know where to start" He mumbled, looking guilty.

"Why don't we start with you being nothing but a total dick to me this past week?"

"It's not just me! You brought up my father!"

"Yeah I-I shouldn't of. But you hurt me saying all them things about the dress. You knew it was the one from christm-"

"I was trying to make you jelous okay?!" He shouted. Y/n dropped the angry tone and looked up at him.

"What?"

"I was trying to make you jealous. I saw you and Fred talking after Snape's lesson and I heard him ask you to the dance. I was gonna do the same thing."

Is this all it was about?

"But you were so blunt with me for days? That's why I went and sat with Fred's group that lesson."

"Because I didn't know what to do! I've never felt like this before. I guess that's why I've been like I have" He muttered. Draco obviously found it hard to deal with his emotions.

"Okay, but why did Pansy shout in the hall 'you better tell her you're not going with y/n'?"

"Because...Mother had bought you a corsage to match my dress robe engraved with your name on it". Draco knelt down and took hold of her hands whilst she was holding back tears.

"I never meant for this to happen and I am... sorry. I wished I just asked you to the dance" He whispered.

"This was all because you were scared to ask me?" He nodded in response.

"You know I would of said yes. You're my friend stupid."

"There's that word friend again" He muttered under his breath. She heard it but pretended she didn't.

"I really miss you" She said, but can't stop the tears this time.

Choking back sobs, she leaped into his arms giving him a strong hug. Relief was her only emotion, she realised why this all happened.

"I'm so so so sorry y/n" He whispered in her ear still holding on tight to her. Tears streamed down her face as she nestled her head in his shoulder.

A while goes by and they both calm down. They sat in front of the blazing fire talking about these past few days.

"I broke up with Pansy. She never meant anything to me, it was all an act for you" He told her.

They have one last hug before heading off to bed.

In the morning, she smiled to herself as she remembered the previous night. Rolling out of bed humming, she started to brush her hair as Pansy woke up.

"Y/n?"

"Yes Pansy?"

"Can we sort stuff out please? I never meant for this to happen. I'll explain later why it all happened, but just know I'm sorry" Pansy said in a sad tone. She looked deflated.

"Come here Pans" She said, as Pansy walked over and wrapped her arm around her.

They walked down to the great hall, and y/n spotted Hermione frantically waving at her to come sit. She held a finger up to Pansy telling her to wait, and went over.

"Hey sit down!" Hermione beamed.

"Actually, last night me and Draco got sorted. It's a long story I'll sit with you in charms and tell you, but we're okay now."

"Oh, that's good. I understand, just be careful. Do not let him hurt you" Hermione smiled.

"We're here if you need us" Ron interjected, with a mouth full of food. She laughed and waved to them, walking back over to Pansy. Draco sat in front looking nervous.

"Hey" he whispered with a light smile.

"Hey-"

"Right, let's cut to the chase. Pansy, you've been a bitch, Y/n you've been a bitch and Draco you've been a bitch. Stop acting like hufflepuffs and move the fuck on. Got it?" Theo exclaimed.

After a while, things slowly started getting back to normal. She was just relieved to have Draco back.
