IT WAS once again, Sunday, another, and the last tutor session for Y/N and Draco.
The awkward silence hurt both of their ears as they try to focus on reading their textbooks, clearly, they wanted to talk about what happened yesterday, but no one wants to start the conversation.
When they walked back in the castle yesterday, Draco just walked her to the Gryffindor common room without a word
None of them spoke, besides Y/N saying a silent 'goodbye', and awkwardly going inside the common room.
When night came, the girl couldn't help but wonder, what would have happened, if the kiss did happen?
Would they actually start dating? For real?
Now, she can't deny that she has grown a strong liking to the Malfoy, she likes his company, and there's just this feeling in her stomach when they're together
Not to mention, he's always on her mind
And in the Slytherin dorms, Draco himself stared at the ceiling, deep in his thoughts
He didnt know what came to him, but he just had a sudden urge to kiss her. To feel her lips against his'.
Draco knew very well what this feeling was. He felt it with Astoria.
He has feelings for Y/N
And right now, sitting infront of her in silence, was killing him. He just wanted to tell her how he feels, because he was sure that he isn't the only one who feels it
The clock then dinged, making Y/N look at it. It was ten o'clock, their study time was over.
The girl cleared her throat, and stood up. She was a little disappointed that this could be the last time they would study so late at night together
"where are you going?", Draco couldn't help but ask
Y/N looked at him and smiled lightly, "it's ten.", she then slinged on her satchel, "you were a great teacher, Draco. Thank you.", and with that, she left the library
The Malfoy sighed, and decided to pack up aswell. As he was putting his books in his own bag, he wondered, what would happen to the both of them now?
Were they still fake dating?
Guess he'll have to wait to find out.

Y/N sat on her desk, writing a letter for her parents. The only people in the dormroom, was her, and Hermione
Their other roomate was out somewhere, probably with some friends
It's been a week since Y/N has talked to Draco. It was weird not talking to him. And it was kind of sad.
Y/N felt like her days weren't complete.
None of them wanted to start the conversation, and it was just very awkward.
It's because it just wasn't the kiss that almost happened. It's their feelings. They like each other, and they're not supposed to.
And it's all because of a bloody bet.
Y/N sighed as she finished writing the letter. It just said that she's fine, and that she's doing better in potions
Because when she told her parents she was kind of failing the subject, they were a little mad, but they said it's fine, she just needs to fix her grades
She really was lucky to have Harriot and Ophelia Eve as parents. They were such lovely people, and they love their daughter dearly.
Y/N then sealed the letter in an envelope, and stood up.
Hermione looked up from her book, giving her a small smile. Y/N smiled back, and walked towards their window. She got her owl, and perched it on the window. Y/N gave the letter to the owl, and soon, it flew away
Sitting back down, Y/N frowned. She had nothing to do, it was a Weekend, and she wasn't exactly in the mood to go to Hogsmeade alone
Hermione, noticing the girl's frown, put her book down. Maybe it was time to start talking to her.
"are you alright?", the bushy haired girl asked
Y/N looked at her, surprised. Hermione has never talked to her before, so this was new. She smiled and nodded, "i'm fine", she said. Hermione nodded, and went back to her book, a couple of seconds of silence passed, and Y/N decided to speak once again, "you?"
Hermione looked up from her book, and smiled at the girl, "i'm alright", she then, once again put her book down, and stood up. She walk towards Y/N's bed and sat down. Sighing, she said, "hey, uh, i'm sorry if i don't talk to you that much, you just seemed to.. I don't know, busy?"
Y/N smiled understandingly at the girl in front of her, "it's alright. Besides, you're always busy with Potter and Weasley anyways", Y/N shrugged with a light smile
"i hope it's not too late for us to start over?", Hermione asked
"well, you might be seven years late", the girl said jokingly, making the bushy haired girl laugh, "but it's better late than never, right?"
Hermione nodded, "right", she then put a hand out, "i'm Hermione Granger"
Smiling, Y/N shook the girl's hand, "i'm Y/N Eve, nice to meet you"

Draco sat in the Slytherin common room, deep in thought as he looked at the fire. He just wanted to talk to Y/N and just tell her his feelings
It's killing him, not being able to have the girl in arm's reach. Not to mention Blaise is getting suspicious.
Not that he cared anymore- actually he does, but he cared about Y/N more now
Merlin's beard, why do feelings have to be so complicated?
Sighing, the blonde decided it was better to get some fresh air, so he stood up from the couch and went up the stairs to the door to the corridors
Once outside, Draco looked around. The sun was already setting, and there was nothing better than seeing it set
How the sky changes its colors while the wind blew his platinum blonde hair.
But that's not all. The sunset also means something else. For him, the sun will leave him, sure, but he knows it'll be back, you just need to close your eyes, and it'll be there again.
Patience, is what you need.
And he was ready be patient with Y/N. He know she'll realize sooner or later that none of the things they're doing is fake anymore
It's real, and he knows, the both of then knew.
