Chocolate Frogs
(Y/N's POV)
"He asked out some random Slytherin?" I yelled at Amelia, as we were sitting near the Black Lake.
"I'm sure it doesn't mean anything." She replied, wearily.
"Ugh!" I groaned, loudly.
"Why do you care so much? I thought you didn't like him like that." She questioned.
"I guess I was looking forward to going to the ball with him, " I shrugged, "You know what, this is your fault. I didn't even want to go to the ball with him in the first place."
"Hey, don't blame it on me that Draco's an idiot."
We looked over behind us and saw that Leo was walking over to us.
"Hey." Leo smiled at Amelia, as she got up and gave him a hug, then kissed him on the lips.
"Ew." I groaned at them.
"What's her problem?" Leo asked, as they both sat down.
"She doesn't have anyone to go to the ball with." Amelia said, "Well, actually, you still have Blaise."
"Blaise, really? There's no way I'm actually going with him." I rolled my eyes, as I laid my head on the grass.
"I know someone you can go with." Leo suggested.
"Who?" I asked, "You better not say Thomas." Leo shrugged his shoulders as he looked over at me.
"Oh, come on. I'd rather go with Blaise than Thomas." I said, with a disgusted look on my face.
"You know he feels really bad about what happened. He hasn't stopped talking about you for days." Leo told me.
"Am I supposed to feel bad for him?" I raised my eyebrows.
"No, I'm just saying maybe you can give him a second chance." He suggested. I looked over at Amelia to see what she thought, and it looked like she agreed with Leo.
"You can't possibly agree with him." I said to Amelia.
"Look, I know what he did was horrible but he seems like he's sorry." Amelia replied.
"Can you just talk with him?" Leo asked. I looked over at Amelia and she nodded as well.
"Fine." I replied, hesitantly.
"Good, cause you didn't really have a choice." Leo said, as Thomas made his way over to us.
"Hey." He said to me.
"Hi." I replied, and he looked over at Amelia and Leo.
"Right." Amelia said, as they both got up and left. We both didn't say anything for a while but we made eye contact every few seconds.
"So." He said, looking over at me, "I'm so sorry, I dont know what I was thinking, I don't even like Ivy that way. Maybe she put some kind of spell on me I don't know-"
"Are you seriously telling me that it wasn't your fault?" I interrupted him.
"Well, no. I'm just saying I wasn't really in the right state of mind when I..you know." He said, nervously.
"Okay." Was all I said.
"I'm not asking you for a second chance right away, I just want you to think about how good we were together." He muttered, then he brought out a box of chocolate frogs. "I know these are your favorite."
"Thanks." I replied, giving him a weak smile.
"I have to go, let me know if you've thought about it." He said, he then went to lean in for a hug but I backed away. "Too soon?" He asked, as I nodded.
Once he got up and left, I opened the box of chocolate frogs and ate some of them. I wasn't in the mood to think about him so I went to go find Harry.
It took me a while to find harry but he ended up being in the library with Ron and Hermione.
“Have you guys gotten dates yet?” I asked them urgently as I sat down next to harry.
“No, thanks for reminding me.” Ron answered.
“I do.” Hermione replied as I looked over at her with a questioning look.
“You do?” I looked over at Harry and he shook his head since he didn’t believe Hermione.
“Who’s your date?” Harry asked me, ignoring Hermione.
“I don’t have one.” I groaned. Ron looked up from his book and widened his eyes.
“So, Y/N, would you like to-“ He started to say but Harry pushed him away.
“Don’t even think about it.” Harry told him, rolling his eyes.
"The ball is less than a week away and I don't have a date, how depressing is that?" I stated, folding my arms.
"It really is." Ron replied.
"You don't even have a date either." I said, whisper yelling at him.
"Hey, I offered to take you!" Ron yelled, furiously.
"Would you both be quiet, I am trying to study." Hermione interfered.
"Oh, I'm sorry, why don't you go study with your non-existent date if you're so bothered by us." Ron replied, infuriated.
"Gladly." Hermione muttered, then stormed off.
"You know, she probably does have a date." I said, assuming it was Viktor because of what happened in the second task.
"Yeah, definitely." Ron answered sarcastically. Ron and Harry were no help with finding a date so I went to go find Amelia.
As I was walking down the hallway I suddenly thought about the idea of going with Thomas. He honestly wasn't so bad of a boyfriend, he was really sweet. And oh, he was so hot. Why did I ever break up with him in the first place? I had to go find him right away to tell him the answer was yes.
Eventually, I found Amelia who was walking with Leo outside of the Great Hall.
"Where's Thomas?" I asked them, urgently.
"I think he's in our common room, why?" Leo replied, looking over at Amelia.
"I need to talk to him." I stated. They both stared at me for a while as I got impatient. "Where is he!" I yelled.
"Are you okay?" Amelia asked me, furrowing her eyebrows as she looked me up and down.
“Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?” I asked, confused.
”You’re acting really weird.” She told me.
“Ok, can you just answer the question?” I urged.
“I already told you, he’s in our common room.” Leo answered.
I walked away immediately and headed towards the hufflepuff common room.
(Draco’s POV)
“I did something bad.” I told Miles and Crabbe as we sat in the Slytherin common room.
"What happened?" Miles asked me.
"I accidentally asked some random girl to the ball."
"Why would you do that?" Miles said, shaking his head.
"I don't know, I was stupid. I really wanted to go with Y/N."
"Well, you need to tell that girl that you're not going with her." He urged, as he looked around trying to see if the girl was in the common room.
"When?" Just as I said that, the girl came down from the girls dormitory and spotted me near the fireplace.
"Hey, Draco?" She said, smiling at me.
"Hey." I replied, trying to fake a smile.
"I'm so excited for the ball." She exclaimed, as she sat down next to me on the couch.
"Listen, about the ball.." I looked over at Miles for help but he had already left, "Um, we can't go together."
"What! Why not?" She asked, furrowing her eyebrows at me.
"Uh..I just..I can't, okay?" I said, getting up from the chair as I heard her start to cry.
I made my way towards the common room entrance and right as I was about to leave, Amelia entered the door.
"Where's Y/N?" I asked her, urgently. I thought she would answer but instead she immediately slapped me across the face.
"What was that for?" I questioned, angrily.
"Why would you ask someone else to the ball, you idiot." She exclaimed.
"Who cares? I already broke it off with the other girl. Now tell me where Y/N is." I explained.
"She went looking for Thomas somewhere." She replied, as I widened my eyes.
"Thomas?" I yelled, "What the f-"
"You should hurry, she looked like she was gonna ask him something." She said, giving me a look.
I walked out of the common room and practically ran through the halls of the castle. I made it near the Hufflepuff common room and I could see Y/N coming from around the corner.
"Y/N!" I yelled, as I made my way over to her.
"Thomas?" She exclaimed.
"No, it's Draco." I replied, confusedly. I noticed she was walking weirdly and talking somewhat slowly. "Are you okay?"
"What?" She looked at me, blankly. "Where's Thom-" Right before she could finish her sentence she collapsed on the floor.
"Y/N!" I exclaimed, I picked her up by her waist and put her arm behind my neck. I then took her to the hospital wing.
Once I got there I slammed the doors open and rushed her over to one of the empty beds.
"What happened?" Madame Pomfrey questioned as she ran over to help her.
"I don't know, she passed out on the ground." I replied, going to the bedside. Madame pomfrey took out some items I didn't recognize and started checking Y/N.
After a while, Madame pomfrey looked over at me worriedly and said, "I'm afraid she's been given amortentia."
"What is that?" I questioned, looking over at Y/N's unconscious body.
"A love potion." Madame Pomfrey replied, "Has she been talking about someone a lot or looking for them?"
"Yes." I had just remembered she was looking for Thomas when I found her.
"Are they some kind of friend or lover to Y/N?" She asked me.
"He wishes." I muttered under my breath. "I'm gonna kill him."
I immediately ran out of the hospital wing and went looking for Thomas. I first went looking in the Great Hall but when I entered there were barely any people there. Though, I saw Amelia talking to Potter and his friends.
I rushed over to Amelia and demanded, "Where's Pearson?"
"What, I-" Amelia replied, surprised by me.
"Tell me!" I urged, slamming the table.
"Why?" She questioned, knowing that it wasn't going to be good.
"He gave Y/N amortentia." I explained to her as she looked at me confusedly.
"What is that?" She asked, looking back at Harry.
"It's some kind of love potion, that's why she's been acting weird. When I went to go look for her, she passed out on the ground." I told her, starting to get even more angry.
"What?" Harry exclaimed getting up from the table.
"So, that's why she's been asking for Thomas all day." Amelia realized to herself.
"Yeah, now can you tell me where he is?" I asked, impatiently.
"He's probably out near the black lake, that's where Leo said he was going." She shrugged, "Wait, you aren't going to do anything to him are you?"
"Yes, I am." I stated, walking away from the table and out of the Great Hall. I noticed that they all were following closely behind me, mostly Harry.
"I don't need your help, Potter." I said, as we made it outside to the black lake.
"Yeah, you do." He said, once we both spotted Thomas with his other Hufflepuff friends.
"Hey, Malfoy. You here to apologize for t-" Thomas said as I cut him off by punching him in the face. Harry came from behind and kicked his lower region.
"What are you doing?" Leo asked, as Charlie and Owen helped up Thomas.
"He poisoned Y/N with a love potion. She's currently in the hospital wing." I said, furiously.
"She's in the hospital wing?" Thomas asked, clearly in pain as his nose was bleeding. I went to go punch him again but Charlie pulled him back.
"You're so pathetic that you need to use a love potion to get a girl." I spat at Thomas.
"What's going on?" Ivy asked, as she walked through the crowd of people that started to form.
"I got this." Amelia said, looking over at me and Harry. She went over to Ivy and punched her in the face with her right arm. I could hear Ivy whimper before she was knocked back.
"Don't ever go near Y/N again." I demanded Thomas, as I turned around and left through the crowd.
Once I entered the Great Hall I went back to the hospital wing to check on Y/N. She was the only one in the hospital wing, aside from Madame Pomfrey.
"How is she?" I asked, as I went over to Y/N's bedside.
"She's doing better." Madame pomfrey assured me.
I sat down on the chair next to her bed and I noticed she was muttering a few things, though her eyes were closed.
"What?" I asked, trying to lean in to hear what she was saying. She then put her hands on my face and pulled me into a kiss, placing my lips on hers. My eyes widened, as I pulled away immediately.
Madame Pomfrey looked over at us and said, "She's still kind of dazed from the love potion. She probably thinks you're the one that gave it to her."
"Oh." I replied, surprised from what had just happened.
I decided to stay there for the rest of the night, though Madame Pomfrey was hesitant at first. But, she let me sleep on the bed next to Y/N's.
It was eventually the next morning and I wasn't able to sleep all night, I had been thinking about Y/N. I want to ask her to the ball but I don't know if she would want to or not. Would she think it'd be weird? Especially after that kiss we had yesterday.
"Hey." Y/N said as she woke up.
"Hi, how are you?" I asked her, getting up from my bed.
"I'm okay, I don't remember why I'm here, though." She said, confusedly.
”Thomas gave you some kind of love potion and I guess you reacted badly to it.” I explained to her.
”I hate him.” She groaned.
”Me too.” I said. “So, you don’t remember anything that happened yesterday at all?”
”No, why? Oh no, what did I do?” She questioned.
”Nothing.” I laughed, somewhat relieved that she didn't remember our kiss.
“All I remember is that I was looking for a date to the ball.” She said, trying to remember what else happened. “I didn’t get one did I?”
”No, that’s actually what I was going to ask you.” I told her, as she looked at me blankly. “Do you want to go to the ball with me?”
”Oh, um-“ She started to say.
”I know it’s not some fancy proposal or whatever but I think it would be fun.” I said, feeling my face heat up from embarrassment. “You know what, it’s fine, I don’t know why I aske-“
”I would love to.” She said, smiling at me.
