Chapter 25

Mattheo P.O.V

I began writing again and was almost finished with my essay when I felt something hit my shoulder. I looked to see Y/N, who had fallen asleep on my shoulder. Great. I can't finish my essay with her leaning on my arm. I gave up and put my quill down. I think that has to be enough for today. I slowly leant against the couch and sat staring at the ceiling. I could hear Y/N soft breathing as she slept and I felt my breath slow to match her breathing pace. Hearing footsteps, I turned my head to see Draco coming down the stairs. He took a seat across from me and gave me a knowing look. Before I could react, he grabbed my paper and started to read it.

"You gonna finish this tonight?"

"If Y/N wakes up and gets off my shoulder, yes."

"Why not just push her off? You would for anyone else."

I looked down, knowing Draco was raising an eyebrow at my behaviour.

"Look, I still owe you one so I'll finish it for you."

"Really? Thanks man."

Draco grabbed my quill and started writing.

"Now I don't owe you. Plus I'm probably the only person who can exactly copy your handwriting so McGonagall's not gonna know."

I nodded, over the years we had become pretty good at copying each other's handwriting and we had done this for each other a few times.

"Anyway, we're gonna talk about you and her?"

Draco guestred to Y/N, still peacefully sleeping against my shoulder.

"No?"

Draco rolled his eyes.

"Come on, you clearly like her. You've been acting... different... with her."

"I really don't want to talk about it."

Draco shrugged.

"Alright. But, not to sound too weird, I am your best friend, you can tell me stuff."

"Merlin's beard, when did you get so sentimental?"

"Fuck off, you know what I mean."

"I do. And I know. I just don't wanna talk about it now."

"Fair enough."

We sat in silence for a little while until Draco finished writing.

"And done. There you go."

"Thanks mate, now we're even."

Potter stirred and slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes.

"Malfoy? When did you get here?"

"Like 10 minutes ago?"

"Oh... Did I fall asleep?"

I moved my shoulder around, getting rid of the pins-and-needles feeling.

"Yep. And now my shoulder's numb."

"Oh, wait. Why?"

"Cause you fell asleep on it. I was trapped with my arm going numb."

"Oh sorry. I should probably get to bed."

Draco nodded.

"Maybe, but first, how was your meeting with Mad Eye?"

"It was weird. I'll explain more tomorrow, I'm kinda tired."

I raised an eyebrow.

"Kinda?"
