You woke up with a throbbing pain in your head. You honestly didn't remember much about last night. You were very thirsty and a little light headed. You grabbed your head and groaned as you slowly opened your eyes.

You were in your own room, in your own bed. You made it back. You were still wearing your clothes from the party.. You slowly sat up but it felt like your head was about to explode. You looked at your nightstand and frowned. There was a little note on there.

Dear Y/N,

I brought you back safely. No worries, you didn't ambarrass yourself. I had a lot of fun, thank you for kiss. I stopped you, didn't want you to regret it.

Thanks for saving me from Pansy,

I'll see you during our study session.

Regards,
Draco

Ps. Make sure you eat and drink plenty today ;)

You stared at the note in shock. You kissed him? That came out of no where to you. You had never even thought about kissing him.

You waited for the regret to hit but it didn't. You just felt embarrassed that you got that drunk. You sighed and managed to drag yourself out of bed. You went straight into the bathroom and turned on the shower before locking the door and undressing.

You stepped into to the hot water and found yourself zoning out. You had been thinking about Draco from time to time.. but you didn't think it was that serious. Your relationship was friendly but nothing too serious. You didn't even know him that well. They say that drunk actions are sober thoughts. Was je your sober thought?

You snapped out of it and started doing your shower routine. It helped you feel refreshed but it didn't take away your headache.

You headed down to the great hall. You sister was there, having her breakfast.

'Hey Y/N!' She smiled. 'I was wondering when you'd wake up. How was the party?' Fae asked.

'Yeah, it was good. Can you hand me that Juice and something to eat?'

She nodded and passed everything on to you.

'Fae.' You started. 'What do you think about Draco?' You asked.

Fae shrugged.

'I'm grateful for the gifts he got us. He's an idiot sometimes but I'm sure he can be nice. Why?'

'Because-'

Before you could say anything someone yanked you by your hair, of your bench and onto the floor. You let out a yell in pain as oil crashed to the floor. (If you have short hair She just grabbed your robes but I will keep writing hair.)

You managed to hit the person holding you and got up but it didn't take them long to grab your again.

'What the fuck is wrong with you!' You yelled.

'You think it's funny to embarras me like that?! Steal my date at a party and dance with him for attention?!' She yelled at you.

She was still holding onto your hair and screaming at you. Fae tried to pull you back but she was too weak. No one else seemed to be interested in helping you.

'He wasn't your date. He invited me! Let go of my you lunatic!' You yelled.

Draco, who was just passing by the great hall, heard the commotion. He heard you yelling and Pansy yelling back at you. He rushed into the great hall, where he discovered the scene.

'Let her go!' He hissed while inserting himself between you two.

He pushed Pansy back and you moved your hair back in place. He turned to you and grabbed the top of your arms while inspecting you.

'Are you okay?' He asked.

'I'm fine.' You mumbled.

He let you go and started arguing with Pansy but you just took that opportunity to walk away.

Later that day it was study time. With a knot in your stomach you headed to the library to work on your report. You felt awkward seeing him after.. the kiss you didn't remember. You saw him sitting at a table already. Nerves crossed you and you still felt a little sick.

You sat down at the table and started grabbing your stuff and put it on the table. It felt awkward right away. There was definitely tension.

'I'm really sorry about Pansy.' Draco spoke after awhile. 'I've spoken to her many times but she won't listen.' He sighed.

'It's alright. I'll deal with it.' You just said.

You stared back at your report and managed to find the motivation to start writing. It helped that you didn't want to look him in the eye.

'Are you alright?' Draco asked. 'You seem quiet.'

'I'm fine. Just tired.' You said, forcing a smile and hoping it seemed genuine.

'If this is about yesterday-'

You looked up at him.

'You really want to talk about that.'

'You have nothing to be ashamed about. People get drunk, it happens. I've kissed more girls drunk than just you. Don't get yourself worked up.'

'You might have. It was my first kiss.' You let slip.

You looked down, your cheeks turning red with embarrassment. Draco smiled at your innocence, yet again.

'I mean if you want a redo.' He joked with a smirk.

'No. I already fucked up. Let's just drop it.' You sighed.

You tried to focus on your work again. Draco didn't know what to say or do to make you feel better. He just continued working as well.

'It's not your fault.' You said. 'Don't feel bad. I just.. didn't imagine it to go like that.'

'It's alright. You don't remember it so, you'll get the redo some day.'

You smiled thankfully at him.. but why did you lowkey want that redo to be with him?
