•XXIV - I Swear•
AS MONTHS pass by, it became closer, and closer for seventh year students to take their Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests, which, ofcourse is a big thing for them.
This test will mold their futures, so there really is no time to mess around.
There's two months left before the tests happen, and everyone is still a bit chill, since, there's no need to rush and such.
But, today is the 23rd of April, and for the past almost ten weeks, things have been well.
The golden were very much Y/N's friends, she and Draco are pretty much very happy.
Although, they would get into small arguments, such as fighting over who's smarter (which we all know it's Draco), fighting over who gets to feed Apple, who has grown to love the both of them, and just arguing over who pays their butterbeers.
But other than that, they haven't fought about something major.. Yet, atleast.
April first was very much chaotic, with all the pranks. But the professors, even the headmaster couldn't do anything. No one got hurt anyways, so they just let the students prank everyone.
Thankfully, Y/N only got pranked once, and she was with Draco. A mistletoe- even though it wasn't Christmas- followed them around, for about a few minutes. But it wasn't a big deal for them, since they are a couple.
They pecked each other's lips secretly when they thought no one was looking, but really, Astoria Greengrass and Blaise Zabini were just around the corner.
So, they've planned to get started, because if they don't move soon, school will be over, and they won't ever go through the plan.
It was the right time now, anyways, since NEWTs are coming up, people will be more busy, and frustrated.
Currently, it was dinner time, and everyone was eating in their own house tables, chatting with friends.
Y/N sat on the Gryffindor table, along with the golden trio, and Ginny. They laughed at what Ron said, when suddenly, her eyes drifted towards the Slytherin table.
Her eyebrows slightly furrowed when she saw Astoria Greengrass sitting close to her boyfriend. Too close, infact.
Draco didn't seem to notice that she was basically getting near him as much as possible, since they were in some serious conversation.
The Gryffindor gave Astoria a nasty glare. Even if she was a year younger, Y/N would certainly throw hands if she does something, anything.
She's lost a boy because of a girl once, she didn't want that ti happen again. Especially now that she actually really loved Draco.
It will hurt much more than it did with Blaise.
With a huff, she turned back to her food, basically murdering her plate with her fork.
Ofcourse, her friends noticed, so with a worried voice, Hermione asked, "what's wrong?"
Y/N glanced at Draco once again, and saw that he was now smiling, making her frown more.
Everyone looked at where Y/N was looking at, and when they saw why she was acting up, they all chuckled in sync.
"nothing's funny, guys.", the girl said, a tired sigh leaving her lips.
Ginny chuckled, and put a comforting hand on Y/N's shoulder, "it's alright to e jealous, Eve. It's normal."
The bushy haired girl nodded, "it's probably nothing anyways. Maldoy loves you too much to think of anything."
At that, Y/N's face fell. She was jealous, but her reason is valid, right? With a sigh, she looked down at her food, fiddling with it, "they used to date, how can i not be jealous? She was someone he loved."
"used to, was, loved. All past tense, it's all in the past. And from what i heard, it was a mutual break up, wasn't it? Maybe they stayed friends?", said Hermione, shrugging her shoulders a bit
"but what if that 'love' is still there? What if it never left?", doubt laced in Y/N's voice. It was clear that she was worried Draco would just throw her away like a banana peel, but he won't do that, would he?
A sigh left Hermione's lips as she rubbed Y/N's arms comfortingly, "don't you trust Draco?"
"of course I do.", the girl said, "i'm just- i guess i'm just worried he might find Astoria better than me, or something."
All of them, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny laughed at that, making Y/N frown a bit.
"he would never. If he did, he'll make the biggest mistake he'd ever make.", said Ginny.
At that, Y/N couldn't help but smile. She was so lucky she met these amazing people, though she wished she just talked to them sooner.
It wasn't long until dinner was over, and everone walked out of the great hall, and outside the huge doors, Y/N saw Draco standing, clearly waiting for her.. Or was he?
"Draco.", she smiled, and speed walked towards him.
The blonde saw her, and a smile grew on his face, "how was dinner?", he asked, as the two of them started walking
"fine.", was all Y/N said, forcing a smile.
But Draco immediately saw through that smile. He saw that something was wrong right away, making him frown, "is everything alright??
Y/N nodded, "of course, why wouldn't it be?"
The blonde furrowed his eyebrows in worry, "you seem, i don't know, upset?", he said, and stopped walking. He took Y/N's hand and walked the two of them towards the courtyard, where the moon shone brightly on them. As soon as they sat down, Draco asked her immediately, "did i do something wrong?"
At this point, the girl knew there was no point in lying anymore. Draco knew her well, sometimes it annoys her- but also relieved, because he makes it up to her.
"i saw you and Astoria.", she started, "she looked a bit too comfortable beside you."
Draco furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, but his face showed a grin not long after, "you're jealous?"
Y/N couldn't help but roll her eyes, "what do you think?", she said, "i know it's abut childish to get jealous, and it's pathetic, really. But you used to love her, Draco."
The blonde dropped his smirk, and smiled softly, "you know i won't ever cheat on you, right?"
"how would I know that?"
"because i'm not Zabini?", he chuckled, getting an eye roll from Y/N, "besides, don't you trust me?"
The girl smiled a bit, "of course I do. But i don't know if i trust Astoria."
A chuckle left Draco's lips as he took Y/N's hand in his, and intertwined his fingers with hers, "i promise you that you're stuck with me forever."
"don't promise, Draco. Promises are meant to be broken.", Y/N sighed, looking at their laced fingers
The blonde smiled lovingly at her, and said, "then i swear. And i'll swear again, in front of our families, and everyone. We both will, and say our 'i do's'"
At that, Y/N looked up at Draco, to see if he was being serious, and he was.
"you want to marry me?"
He gave her a short, but certain nod, "of course. That's what two people who are inlove do, right? Get married in front of their families, as they swear to love each other until the end."
Y/N smiled as she felt her heart melt. She cupped his cheek, and pecked his lips, "i know it won't be until a few more years, but i want to swear now. I swear to love you always and forever, Draco Malfoy."
The blonde smiled, "and i thought i was the cheesy one.", he said, a soft chuckle leaving his lips, "but i swear to love you always and forever, too."
And with that, they once again closed the gap between the both of them.
They swore to each other underneath the moonlight, hoping the stars heard them, which they absolutely did.
But of course, no relationship is simple. Challenges will come, and test them.
Hopefully, they won't let go, and make it until the end. Love eachother always and forever.
Just like they swore to.
