Chapter 2

2582 Words
— Y/N POV — Once all of the remaining first years were sorted into their respective houses, the students dug into the delicious food that I could not resist from having seconds. My attempts of making eye contact with Harry and his friends were unuscessful. Each time I thought he would notice, it seemed he was too busy with the others. Though I was slightly disheartened, I shrugged it off and finished up my plate. After dinner was finished, we were then lead to our common room. The password for entrance turned out to be "Salazar" and us Slytherins were finally granted entrance. The area was long and spacious. Just like the dungeons, it was cold and had rough stone walls. The color scheme was as to be expected from what the house colors were. Then came in our head of house which I knew as Professor Snape. If there was one thing I was sure of, it was that he had an abnormally large nose. Now I was not one to be extremely judgemental but the pale man looked like a vampire and gave off a dark aura which made it impossible not to be at least a little cautious in his presence. "Welcome to the Slytherin House...." From then on he explained the rules - most of which were common - what he expects of us, and the rest was left for the girl prefect to explain. Apparently, there was only one way to dormitory, however once inside there were two separate doors which lead to the girls and boys side. Inside of each there were at least five individual rooms with two or more students of the same gender to sleep in. The roommates were announced and we gave each other brief looks of acknowledgement. I grabbed my special muggle phone (with my dad as a professor, I was given permission even with the boundaries set on the gadget, I am forever grateful) and put my headphones in. I ignored whatever looks anyone might have given me. Bringing out a book I've been holding onto for quite some time now, all the while listening to peaceful music to block the noise of those present. I was so engrossed in the book that I failed to notice someone beside me and removed my headphones from my ears. Turning around with a hard glare, I spotted the one and only... "What the hell do you want, Draco?" I hissed at him, snapping my book shut. "It's Malfoy to you and how do you even know my name, Y/N?" he retorted, sounding annoyed. "I could ask you the same thing, Draco." My words dripped with sarcasm, paired with a fake smile. "Piss off, Y/L/N," he spat out. "You have a wonderful night as well, Draco." I laughed sarcastically as I heard his door slam shut with a loud bang. I cannot take that blondie seriously, I thought, snickering. He is a menace, but we're in the same house now so it's best to not antagonize him too much, if I can control myself. Draco is lucky I was not so much in a bad mood today. That was when I had noticed that there was no one else already. Deciding a quick read of some more would not do any harm, I stayed on the couch nearby the fire for a while. Satisfied with what I had read, I reached for my room door to open it but it was locked. "Open the f*****g door!" I yelled as I slammed my fist on the door. Damn. The female Prefect told me there was a bed time and I completely forgot. A couple more attempts ended up to be futile. I sighed and cursed at myself. "Well, I heard the astronomy tower had a stunning view anyway," I slowly mumbled and decided I was to go to exactly there. "Plus, I planned on doing something else." I made my way to my destination, avoiding to get caught by any of the professors checking those who would be out of bed. Once I arrived, the lake from below glistened in the moonlight and the tranquil silence was just as relaxing as the music I would play. Leaning against the wall, I grabbed the joint out of my pocket that the ginger twins gave to me. How could have I refused when it was for free!? I placed the joint in between my lips and lit it, breathing in and then letting a puff of smoke out. I felt my agitation from earlier being relieved. Footsteps. They were light and it was clear whoever it was, was trying to sneak up on me. Whipping my head around, I let out a long sigh of relief. "You scared the s**t out of me, Draco." I breathed out and then took a smoke. I expected him to look at me with that angry look again and demanding respect, much to my surprise he shrugged. He casually sat down a few meters away from me as I watched him with caution. "Give me a hit," he simply stated. We just stared at each other for a good minute. I was trying to analyze his features, if there was any ulterior motive, only to recognize his greyish green eyes were bright in the dark, sparkling even. His lips were curved upwards and yet I could not make out his expression. Was it a smile? One that was genuine and made him better looking than he already was... What in the actual f**k am I thinking?! I screamed inside of my head. It's the weed. That's all. Relax yourself. Noticing how at this point he had rose an impatient brow, I passed him the weed. I watched him as he inhaled a lot of it, before breathing back out and letting the joint rest between his lips. "What are you staring at, Y/N?" he questioned me with a smirk. "Nothing. Now pass me the joint, you i***t," I snapped. He scoffed at me and returned the joint. His features softened up a bit and he looked at the view. "About what happened today, on the train. Can we forget it? I apologize." His tone was unmistakably soft. "Well, since we're housemates now, I don't really have much of a choice." I softly chuckled. "Too bad you'll probably just be like this for tonight." There was no response from him and that did not bother me. I would not know how to respond to that either. After the joint was finished, we both stood and enjoyed the view. Dare I say his company was not that bad at all when he wasn't mouthing s**t at me. "Welp, it's getting really late and I'll try to barge the door open or maybe sleep on the couch. You think Snape will take off points? Oh well, night!" I said, feeling airheaded. A weight of sadness stayed, knowing he would revert back to the arsehole he was on the train by tomorrow. I was on my way down the stairs but I felt myself being stopped by Draco who roughly grabbed my wrist. He pushed me against the wall with no hesitation at all, a different kind of hunger in his eyes. Being pinned against the wall, I had to admit the dominance radiating off of him made me want to... Shut the f**k up, you horny ass! Our faces were inches away from one another. His heavy breathing and beating heart could be heard. Or was it mine? It didn't really matter now. He had one hand on the wall beside my face, trapping me in between him while the other roughly grabbed my chin to make me look up at him. My eyes were locked onto his and waited for his next move. He leaned in closer and closer. I found myself unable to move for a moment, feeling completely at a loss of what to do. Then it hit me. I registered what exactly was happening and quickly slapped him across the face, causing his head to twist to the side. The mark of my slap where I hit him was visibly there. A wide smirk played on his lips that I wished I had not seen. He snapped his head back facing me, taking his free hand and pinning my wrists above me. Draco was stronger than I originally thought and I was undecided whether it was a good thing or not. He took his veiny hand that was resting on the wall beside my head and used it to turn my head to the side giving him all access to my neck. It felt colder than usual, despite the feeling of his hot breath on me. Do I want it? No, not now. Not here of all places. Before he could do anything, I took my foot and wrapped it behind his leg and tripped him. This made him fall backwards in shock, then he huffed at me. I spotted our robes on the ground. How the f**k- I stopped myself from overthinking everything. I was not in the best state of mind right now and was deprived of sleep. I lazily smirked and spoke,"Welp. This night was truly amazing or rather baffling. We best head back now." A dramatic exit was definitely needed for whatever transpired between the two of us. Picking up my robe, I put it on though it felt longer than last time. I bellowed my robes and stalked away. - Dracos POV - I did not know what the bloody hell I was doing. Hell, I didn't even know what the f**k she was doing until she basically threw me to the ground. This would normally make me loath whoever had that kind of behavior towards me, yet I was turned on. A smirk graced her lips as she bade me a dramatic farewell that oddly did resemble the bat of the dungeons. I felt a smirk of my own grace my lips, seeing her leave. I whisper to myself, "Game on Y/N, game on." I'll just make her want me. Then just reject her to give her a taste of her own medicine. Slytherins always get even. I could feel my menacing smile spread wider thinking about it. I picked up my robe off the ground and put it on. I made my way back to the Slytherin common room, saying the password through my hoarse voice and for a split second seeing Y/N's eyes widen when opening the main dormitory door. She shrugged it off and walked inside. I smiled to myself, How does she think I got outside if it was locked? I carelessly played with the two keys in my right pants pocket, one for the main door and one for my dormitory. All had their key for the dormitories they sleep in, however being the personal favorite of the Head of House was a bonus. I stood still for a while, waiting until I heard the door click. When it did, she finally entered her room and I went into my room. Tomorrow was going to be the start of everything. I was not sure of what to call it, however I knew exactly what I would be doing. I shut my door and locked it, using my wand as a light source by casting the lumos charm. I brought out my notebook. Phase One - Gain her trust. Phase Two - Get her to actually be on friendly terms with me. Phase Three - Get her to fall for me. Final phase- Break her little heart and remind her of her place. After writing the basis down, I placed aside my black journal back in my luggage. After what happened, a shower was required so I took a quick but refreshing cold shower. There was only one issue when I had grabbed the robe to put it up, it was not mine. It was Y/N's. Good thing, she had placed her keys in her skirt pocket. She's not that dumb to do so. Frowning, I walked outside of my room and made my way to the girls side of the door then trying to find her room. Once I found her dorm that I remembered because of the female prefect saying it was the one Y/N would stay in, I knocked on the door. I tapped my foot on the ground, waiting for her to answer. Shortly after standing there, the door opened and Y/N was standing there in short shorts and a hoodie with her hair pulled into a messy bun. I caught her eyes trailing up and down me. In the midst of realizing the switch up and wanting to get it over with, I had forgotten to wear a shirt on my way out and water was still dripping down my messy blonde hair. All I had on right now was grey sweatpants. It's not like I care about it, this might make her falling for me easier and she was not so bad herself to be honest... "What do you want?" she questioned me, leaning against the door frame. "Well, I figured you would need this for tomorrow," I said, showing her the robe that was obviously hers. "Ah...well, I thought I grabbed mine," she said with an apologetic smile. A yawn escaped her lips and she quietly continued, "My bad. Come here. I'll grab yours. Don't be too noisy." I rolled my eyes at how obvious she was being. Seeing her give me a tired look, I reluctantly complied and stealthily followed behind her. She quickly came back with my robe as I handed hers back and she handed over mine. I gave a polite nod for my departure for the night, surprised how she had not drooled over me like the other girls would immediately. She was going to be more of a challenge than I originally thought... maybe she was something else. She certainly was an odd one and that attracted me to her. "Goodnight," I whispered, feeling a small begrudging respect for her. She was...definitely interesting. I was already walking back to my dorm, hearing her bid me a goodnight. I felt a tiny pang of regret being like that. I brushed aside the feeling, I'm only feeling this way because of that damn joint she had... remember the plan... - Y/N POV - "Goodnight," I whispered back, feeling shocked he said it wholeheartedly. I slowly closed the door, glad I was able to stop myself from turning into a literal tomato. That man is driving me crazy! Being shirtless like that and acting like it was nothing! I internally screeched. I need to sleep. What have I dragged myself into!? Why HIM?! I groaned a bit too loudly, luckily my roommates were not woken up. I plopped myself into my bed and my gaze was glued to the ceiling. A roller coaster of emotions was what I was feeling and on top of that were my thoughts. He looked really good in all honesty. The grey sweats and his still wet hair and the way the water droplets from his hair dripped down his body- JUST shut up. Remember who he is. Stupid thoughts! We have tryouts tomorrow so go to sleep. Feeling the exhaustion take over me, I faded to darkness and was prepared for tomorrow even if some things might change, which I wished they would not.
