Draco's POV:

I look over across the platform and spot y/n smiling along with Weaslette, Potter, Mudblood, and Weaslebee. I feel jealousy brewing in the bottom of my stomach and I feel my face become hot. How can she be friends with them? She's too good. They're just riding on her coat tails. I wish she was with me. She deserves so much better. I've wanted this ever since first year. My friends in Slytherin are... unsatisfactory. I first saw her in Diagon Alley. She was leaving Ollivander's when I was just going in. She gave me a warm smile and wished me a good day and then turned around and disappeared into the crowd. She intrigued me for some reason. I still can't explain it today. Maybe it's the way she laughs or smiles, maybe it's the fact that she's never said a hurtful word in her life, maybe it's that she's captivatingly beautiful. Who knows... All I know for sure is that I've fallen for her. It's been five years since I first saw y/n and we've never really been close. All I've been able to do is watch her longingly from a distance. Originally, I wanted to have her in my friend group, but by the time if found her again at Hogwarts, she was already friends with Saint Potter and the rest. It's bothered me so much over the years. If only I could get her alone and ask her out... who am I kidding? She'll never like me.

We all file into the Great Hall for the sorting ceremony. Y/n, of course, sits down where I can see her, but I can't talk to her. Dumbledore makes his speech, the first years get sorted, and the food appears. I don't serve myself much. I'm too distracted by y/n. She's talking with one of her friends. I know my mother said not to eavesdrop, but I couldn't resist it.

"How was your summer, y/n," the girl asks her. Y/n smiles beautifully as she always does.

"It was great, f/n, she replies. I wrote with Hermione and Ron a lot. It was a shame that I couldn't write to Harry, though. He's my best friend," she says.

"You really are besties with the trio, aren't you," f/n says. Y/n nods. "Why don't you date him?!"

"What?" Y/n asks.

"Date Harry!" F/n says. Y/n Only shakes her head, thankfully.

"I wouldn't date him. He's only a friend. If I was to date, I would probably date someone he would be on good terms with. I value his friendship a lot. Same goes for the rest of the trio. Last year, someone asked me out but Harry scared him away. I think that I'll only ever date someone if Harry can stand him!" she says, reaching down and grabbing her fork, continuing to eat. Maybe that's what I need to do. I need to be on better terms with Potter... maybe then I can get the chance to ask her out. This is going to be hard, but it'll be worth it if I can take y/n out even if it's only once.

I walk down the hall with Crabbe and Goyle behind me. It's a free period for the fifth years right now so most of us are in the courtyard. I walk out into ur sunlight and see Potter, Mudblood, and Weaslebee sitting on a bench accompanied by y/n who's reading a book. She's so beautiful. I can't help but stare. I sigh. Come on, Malfoy. You can do this.

"Stay here," I say to Crabbe and Goyle. Then nod and begin to talk about something stupid. I leave them there and walk up to the four of them. Upon hearing my footsteps, they all look up. Potter scowls at me, Weaslebee looks uncomfortable in his seat, and Granger rolls her eyes. Y/n doesn't do any of the sorts. She lightly smiles in my direction and I smile a bit back to her.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" Saint Potter says harshly.

"Piss off, Malfoy. We don't need you here to tell us how disgusting or how dirty we are. We've had plenty of those conversations already," Weasley grumbles, weekly looking up at me.
