Y/N smiled as she looked up to look at the view. It was getting a little dark, so she decided to get up, and dust off her school skirt

Once done, she slinged on her bag, and walked back to the castle. By this time, people were already in their common rooms, or dorms, so the corridors were empty

Y/N walked through the hallways, the sun going down can be seen through the huge windows

The orange colors of the sun hitting her, i think the muggke calls it 'golden hour', if i'm not mistaken?

Turning to a corner, the girl continued to walk, and she stopped when she saw a figure walking opposite of her

Her eyes slightly widen, it was Draco Malfoy, and he looked like he was looking for something

Or someone.

"Y/N", he said, then walking towards the Gryffindor

She was just supposed to walk past him, but Draco grabbed her wrist gently, but not too lose for her to escape

The girl faced the blonde, "uh, hey, what do you need?", she asked awkwardly

Draco sighed, "look, i wanted to say i'm sorry for almost.. Kissing you.", he said, ignoring Y/N's words, "i just can't take it anymore"

Furrowing her eyebrows, Y/N asked, "can't take what?"

Being honest, if he told her he cant take her anymore, she'll break. Even if they havent talked in two weeks, she was still attached to the man

And losing him would really hurt

"i can't take fake dating anymore"

Y/N felt her heart drop. This was it. Of course, she'll be hurt again. And worst of all, she got hurt by the bestfriend of the man who hurt her before

"w-what? Draco, i'm sorry for ignoring you, i just didn't-"

"i want to date. For real", he said, making the girl freeze in place, "i want to be boyfriend and girlfriend. I know it sounds really cheesy, but dont pretend you dont want it too, Y/N"

The girl's eyes widen, "what are you saying..?"

"bloody hell, Y/N", Draco groaned, "i like you. A lot"

If earlier, Y/N's heart dropped, now, it felt as if it's jumping out of happiness, "really?"

The blonde nodded eagerly, "really.", he said, looking into the girl's eyes, "but i need to know if you feel the same"

Y/N smiled lightly, and went on her toes, putting her arms around his neck. Their noses touched, "i like you too"

And with that, the girl closed the gap

This time, without hesitation. The kiss that was supposed to happen, now has happened.

Both the Gryffindor and Slytherin teenagers walked to the Gryffindor common room, hands intertwined with each other

Stopping by the painting, the fat lady rose her eyebrow at the blonde man, but the teenagers didn't care

Y/N faced Draco, her face slightly red, "thanks for walking me"

The blonde smiled and pecked her cheeks, "it was not problem"

Facing the painting, the girl muttered the password, and the painting swang open. Y/N faced Draco, "uh, bye.", she smiled awkwardly

Draco thought it was really cute, "goodbye, darling."

Y/N's heart skipped a beat at the nickname, and a blush crept up her cheek

Waving one last time, the girl entered the common room, a smile on her face

It happened. Who knew they would end up where they are?

Surely, they didnt expect this.
