I wish I were Heather...

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Summary- You help Draco become closer to your best friend, but, things don't go as expected...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You sigh. She was late, again. This was about the fifth time this week that she was late to one of your library meetings, but you knew her well enough to not be suprised. So, there you sat, plans dashed and drying quill in hand. "This is so ridiculous.." You mumbled, (e/c) eyes drooping from boredom.

The Hogwarts Library was quiet, as always, a small group of Hufflepuff's in the corner of the room chatting, as well as a few Gryffindor's here and there. You were supposed to be studying, but you just couldn't find the energy anymore. Your eyes fluttered close as you rested your head on the table, thoughts drifting behind homework and your friend.

A certian Platinumn blonde entered your mind, causing you to smile slightly. Yep, that's right, you fancied Draco Malfoy, The Slytherin prince himself. Sure, he was an asshole who despised anyone with less than pure blood, but you couldn't help but find yourself attracted to his sharp and somewhat cold personality.

"Hello! (L/n)! Merlin, can you hear me?"

fingers were snapped infront of your face, causing you to jolt and quickly open your eyes. There , before you, stood an impatient looking Draco, giving you a dissaprooving stare.

"Malfoy? What do you want?", You asked In a confused tone , gazing up into his storm grey eyes. He rolled his eyes, "I've been calling you for the last thirty seconds! I need to speak with you...In private.." He trailed off with a blush, and your heart skipped a beat.

Was he going to confess??

Draco dragged you towards the back of the library, making sure no one saw either of you. Once he was sure you were alone, he began to speak.

"I can't believe I'm asking you of all people....but..I need your help"

You sighed. Of course he wasn't going to confess, what were you thinking??

"Help..Help with what?"

Draco looked away, a blush present on his cheeks. You almost giggled at how uncharacteristic he was being.

"I will only say this once....but...I...have taken a liking to someone...And I wish to grow closer to them...So...could you...Help me?"

You literally felt as though you had been stabbed in the heart. He liked someone else? You took a shaky breath, trying to compose yourself , and stop yourself from crying.

"S-So...Who's the lucky person?"

He frowned, "Tell anyone this, and I will hex you, got it?" You rapidly nodded. "Alright...I like.... (F/n)"

You bit your bottom lip. Hard. Maybe it would have been easier to hate the girl if you didn't know them, but no, it was your best friend. You could of easily been bitter if it was some Gryffindor you didn't know or another Slytherin, but it just had to be the girl you literally were joined at the hip with.

Your eyes widened in shock, staring at Draco with an unknown expression as he looked away with a blush. Now you understood why he wanted help.

"Y-You..Like (F/n)...my best friend?" He nodded slowly, and you swallowed back the tears that threatened to fall, and promptly ignored the lump in your throat.

"That's...great!", You answered with a fake smile, "Of course I'll help you". Draco leaned in closer, causing you to hold your breath, "Be here Tommorrow at 12:30. Don't be late" His voice was stern, low, and you could feel his warm breath fanning your skin.

Once you were sure he was gone, you slid down the side of one of the bookshelves, head buried in your hands as you cried.

"Why would he ever kiss me...I'm not even half as pretty as she is..."

And as you sat there, alone with your tears and thoughts, you couldn't have wished more that you were (F/n).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, with great difficulty, You met Malfoy in the Library as planned.

"So, Tell me things that (F/n) likes"

You paused to think. You could give him fake information and ruin his chances with her...But you loved them both too much. If they were both Happiest with each other...then you were happy too, no matter how much your heart hurt.

"She likes flowers, Lily's are her favourites" You told him, watching as he carefully jotted this down.

"Anything else?"

"She likes someone who would put her in her place If she was wrong , and someone who enjoys the simple things, just like her. She enjoys reading, art and music, But she hates Chocolate, so I suggest not getting her any."

Draco listened intently, writing down anything he deemed as important.

"She also likes complements"

He tilted his head, confused,

"So, Like flirting?"

You shook your head,

"No, Something genuine..from the heart, not simple chatting up"

clearly Draco wasn't getting the point.

"Okay, let me demonstrate"

You cleared your throat,

"You have the most beautiful eyes, Did you know that? They're like two shining moons in the night"

You could be just your imagination, but you were pretty sure you small a small blush on Draco's pale cheeks.

"D-Do you understand now?"

You asked, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Draco nodded slowly, "I think so...here let me try"

He placed his quill down, coughing slightly to clear his throat before staring straight into your eyes.

"(Y/N)" The way he said your name gave you shivers, "I love your smile. It's warm, Bright, and it fills me with emotions I've never felt before. It's dark out here, You're smile is my way home"

WIthout wanting nor meaning to, you turned a bright shade of red. Draco, noticing this, Chuckled, "I'm guessing I did a good job, right?"

You playfully slapped his arm, causing you both to giggle. You felt your heart beat faster, and you almost forgot that Draco Liked your best friend.

Now I say almost, Because seconds later (F/n) walked into the library.

Draco instantly stopped laughing and his gaze went to her.

Your happy mood Dissapated in an instant and you could only blankly stare as she headed towards your table.

"Hey you two!", She greeted with a bright smile. You sighed, How could you ever hate someone like her? I mean, come on! She was such an angel. But you couldn't help the bubble of jealousy rising in your chest.

"(Y/N), I hope you don't mind...But can I Borrow Draco for a moment?"

She asked, sharing a look with him.

You nodded, mutely, watching as she pratically dragged him up and began leading him out of the library, giggling all the way.

"Good luck.." You mumbled, even though you knew he couldn't hear you.

You weren't going to cry, You didn't really feel like it, So you simply placed your head down on the table, and closed your eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, You were half-Heartedly talking to (F/n), Who looked extremely excited about something.

Her eyes were sparkling and her mouth was stretched wide with a toothy grin.

You guessed that Draco Had asked her out, As you couldn't think of another reason why she would be so happy.

She was constantly glancing down the hall, And at the clock, Before turning back to you and talking about something stupid.

You were happy for her, For them, but you couldn't help how badly you're heart hurt. Hell, You had a crush on Draco for nearly a year now, and you were supposed to just forget about all of it?.

Suddenly, (F/n) gasped loudly, eyes going brighter as her attention turned to someone coming down the hall. Curious to see what she was so excited about, You noticed Draco coming towards the two of you.

He looked quite Nervous, an Awkward smile on his usually Calm face and a bouquet of (F/f) In hand.

'He probably couldn't find any Lily's'

You thought, stepping back to give the two room.

However, Something strange happened. Instead of stopping infront of (F/n), He walked right up to you, a blush present on his face. You tilted your head in confusion, glancing over at (F/n) to see that she was beaming with joy.

"(Y/N) (L/N), Would you do me the honours of going out with me?"

You blinked, mouth open in shock as all you could say was , "W-what?!"

"I'll leave you two to it!", (F/n) giggled, skipping down the hall, leaving the both of you alone.

You were still so confused as to what was going on, that you barely noticed Draco's smile fading slightly.

"W-What's wrong? do you not like the flowers? (F/n) told me they were your favourite.."

Okay, now you were completely lost.

"w-wait...I thought you liked (F/n)...why are you asking me out?"

Draco stared at for a few moments before chuckling, "Idiot.." He ruffled your hair fondly with his spare hand, making you blush slightly.

"This was (F/n)'s idea...But she wanted it to look like I liked her, so that when I asked you out you'd be all suprised...are you suprised?"

You nodded mutely, finally puzzling the pieces together.

"It was pretty stupid....I-Its okay if you say no, I just-"

"Yes!"

You swiftly cut the blonde off.

He paused momentarily, "A-are you sure?". Another nod.

Draco smiled, placing the Bouquet into your hands and wrapping his arms around you. "Glad to hear that.." His voice was low like before, and you couldn't help but shiver at the sound of it.

You felt his hot breath fan your skin, leaning closer. You lips were mere inches apart.

Draco being the braver one, he swiftly closed the distance between the two of you. You gasped, but melted into the kiss, clinging onto him slightly.

Eventually, The two of you parted for air, Foreheads touching and breathless pants coming out of both of you.

Draco smirked, eyes shining with amusement.

"So, My eyes are 'Shining Moons"

He snickered as you slapped his arm, Blushing furiously.

When you had stopped, Draco gently held you against him.

"I meant what i said, Though.."

"About what?"

"Your smile is my way home"
