Chapter 1
Draco's POV
"Draco," I hear a soft and gentle whisper.
As I opened my eyes, I saw her emerald eyes staring back at me, we were in a field full of different flowers as the wind moved with a slow movement, butterflies everywhere, making the scene more beautiful. I smiled at her, holding her hands, my head on her lap as we gazed at the sunset, she ran her hands through my albino hair. I breathed out a sigh of content wishing to not end all of this. Her being with me was all I wanted.
"Draco," She uttered, I looked at her waiting for her to continue." Wake up, you bloody git." I frowned at her sudden change of voice, her voice became more of a man. I quickly stood up away from her. Her appearance also changed and turned into Blaise, although the dress was still in him I was horrified.
"Wake up, Malfoy!"

I jolted awake, looking up at the ceiling, and sighing in relief. I thought it was a wonderful dream but it turned out to be a bloody nightmare, even Zabini would haunt me in my dreams.
"Finally, our princess is awake, class starts at 8, better get up or you'll have detention on Professor McGonagall if you gonna be late," Blaise grumbled, he went to my wardrobe to grab my Slytherin uniform.
I grunted as I sat up, rubbing my tired eyes, "What time is it," I asked, my voice hoarse since I just woke up.
"It's 6 in the morning, mate. Since when did you have a Gryffindor scarf here?" Blaise questioned as he turned to me and showed me the scarf. I widened my eyes' Blimey, I forgot to hide the scarf, freaking Blaise always coming to my room.' I quickly stood up and chased after him who moved frantically while mocking me.
"Give it back, Blaise, or else-"
"Or else what? You gonna jinx me?" He taunts making me angry. I grabbed my wand at the table and cast a spell on him making him freeze. I snatched the scarf and put it back in my wardrobe, delicately folding it before I removed the spell.
"Geeze, I didn't think you would honestly put a spell on me," He huffs.
"Well, you asked for it, now get out. I'll have to change my clothes Zabini." I shooed him making him roll his eyes and head out."Hurry up, already."
Time Skip
So here we are walking in the hallway and going to Professor McGonagall's class on Transfiguration. As we walked in the corridors, I bumped into someone making me drop my book as well as who bumped into me, the books were scattered, and even parchments were laid there. I was about to insult whoever bumped me but stopped when I saw who it was.
"Oof, I'm so sorry I bumped into you," It was Y/N. She was still busy picking up her notebook as she didn't look up yet. I knelt down to help her pick up them, she finally looked at me.
"Oh, it's you, Malfoy." She said with caution in her voice. My heart aches for wanting her to say my first name, not just my last name.
"Uh yeah," I mumbled not knowing what else to say as we stood there in silence. Unaware that Blaise was looking both at us, smirking at our awkward interaction.
"So, Potter, where are you heading? Are you also going to the Transfiguration class?" Blaise asks behind me and puts his arms on my shoulder. I rolled my eyes at his obviousness on trying to get us closer to each other.
"Yeah, I am. Was trying to actually." She answered while trying to carry the books in her arms."Here let me carry them for you." Blaise offered but I slapped his arms as he yelped in pain, I grabbed her books and walked ahead of them, glad they didn't see my reddening face.
"Well, come on. I don't have all day." I narrowed my eyes at them before they stride and head towards the class.
"Right with you, my Prince," Blaise said in a dramatic way making Y/N giggle. I shook my head at him and smiled afterward.

"Mate, stop. Your stares make me uncomfortable, you're making a hole in her head." Blaise raised his hands to block my eyes from gazing at her. I looked at Zabini in annoyance.
"Who was he staring at?" Crabbe asks, who joined me and Blaise's conversation.
"It's-" I put my palm on his mouth shutting him up as he muffled some incoherent words.
"No one Crabbe, and don't listen to this git. I don't stare at anyone." I retract my hands when Blaise licked my hands, bloody disgusting.
"He fancies Potter's twin. That's what he is staring at. " Blaise -who doesn't care my glare at him told him."He's what?!" Crabbe and Goyle-who heard our petty conversation rose in their seat, making all of the houses look at us, including her who was confused. Merlin I wanted to hide under this table.
"Shhh, keep it down. Are you both mad?" I sneered at him. Both of them looking each other before sitting down. They came closer to us and whispered."Is it true though?" I don't have to deny it since Blaise knew it so I just told them not to utter a word to anyone. I rolled my eyes when they exchanged each other a look.
"So, when are you planning to tell her?" Crabbe smirks.
"I don't know, maybe when our school year ends or never?" I shrugged and scratched my nape. The three of them deadpanned at me and slapped their hands on their foreheads as I looked at them with a weird look.
"Mate, are you for real?" I looked at Blasie's disappointed look, I nodded to him.
"I mean- Just look at her, she's beautiful, she's smart, and she is Potter's twin. They're both known as the Chosen Ones, oh, and one more thing, she's a Gryffindor. Gryffindors and Slytherins don't come in best pairs and we are the nemesis of the other houses." I explained."And I can't help but feel like I don't deserve someone so angelic and gorgeous. I'm out of her league." I told them as I felt so despondent at the moment. How am I supposed to tell her when I and her brother are both enemies, not to mention I'm also the most bloody prick towards everyone?
"You have always had the chance to change things but it takes time, mate. Risking is one of your choices. Don't even try to not tell her you like her or else someone will steal her from you. And you don't want that to happen, do you?" Blaise said in a serious tone. I must say that terrified me. Y/N, with another man? Absolutely no, not gonna happen. Blaise's right, I have to tell her as soon as possible, don't want other filthy boys to try to steal my girl.
But how?

I tried to listen to Professor Snape's lesson on how to make a Poison Antidote. Each of the students must have a partner, for them to grab ingredients and help make the potion. Of course, Professor Snape will be the one to assign who our partners are. One by one, the students have theirs as I was waiting for mine to finally have someone to be partnered with.
"And for Mr. Malfoy, you are partnered with Ms.Potter." Professor Snape announced as he continued to tell other students their partners.
I widened my eyes before composing myself. Oh, my Merlin she's going to be my partner, I swear if the Professor intentionally did this, I'll tell him to my Father. I glared at Blaise who already was looking at me smiling. I stood up from my seat and made my way towards her desk. I can feel Potter's eyes on me as he glares at the back of my head, not that I even care.
When I stood in front of her she timidly looked up, her cute eyes and reddened cheeks staring back at me. I might faint because of how much she can practically do everything for me.
"When can we start?" I ask her. I noticed that she had already taken the ingredients for the potion-making, which was fast.
"We can start right now. You got your book for the procedures?" She asks. I nodded and took out the book.
We both began to cut ingredients, some other ingredients needed to be crushed using a mortar and pestle before adding them to the cauldron. She instructed me to mix them while she read the next steps. I could tell she's good at potions. She handled it so well that I can't do anything but admire how diligent she is." Add 2 Mistletoe Berries to the cauldron before stirring them 2 times, anti-clockwise." She told me as I did what she said." And then wave your wand to complete the potion." She said and closed the book." Here let me do it." She grabbed a hold of the spoon as I stiffened how our hands faintly touched each other. She noticed my reaction and suddenly retracted her hands.
"Sorry, you can do the honors." She mumbled. I followed what she said a while back, waving my wand at the cauldron. After some time, the potion was finished. Professor Snape went to our table to examine our work." Well done Mr.Malfoy and Ms. Potter. 20 points from Gryffindor and Slytherin." He then proceeded to see other student's works.
She shyly looked at me." You did well, Malfoy." She encouraged me as I looked at her with adoration."Please just call me Draco, no need for formalities." I took out my hands, gesturing to at least befriend her. She was hesitant for a second before grabbing my hands and we shook them. I smiled triumphantly, finally touching her soft hands that I tried to retract a while back and also finally getting to know her more.
Unbeknownst to them, her brother was looking at the two smiling teenagers with confusion and anger. He was suspicious of Draco's behavior towards his twin."Is it just me or Malfoy is getting too close to my sister?" Harry asks his partner, Ron who is busy trying to understand the instructions of the book."I believe there's tension between them." He whispered. Harry let it go for today and continued mixing the cauldron. But he can't help but feel a peculiar feeling.
