What happens when the Slytherin group chat forgets you're on the member list? You get to watch [Character(s)] spill every embarrassing detail of their secret crush on you, completely oblivious to the fact that you’re reading every single word.

The Slytherin common room was quiet. Most people had gone to bed, but the group chat was very much awake.
Daphne Greengrass
I’m just saying, if you don’t have a date by tomorrow, you’re going to end up going with your cousin or something tragic.
Barty Crouch Jr.
bold of you to assume I’m going at all
Dorcas Meadowes
You’re going. You just want someone to beg you.
Astoria Greengrass
WAIT WAIT WAIT I wanna know who everyone’s asking to the gala 👀
Pansy Parkinson
Someone worth my time, obviously.
Draco Malfoy
Define worth your time.
Pansy Parkinson
You couldn’t afford my time, Malfoy.
Theodore Nott
This is already exhausting.
Lorenzo Berkshire
I’m taking whoever says yes first I’m not picky
Blaise Zabini
That’s why you’re going alone.
Regulus Black
Do we have to talk about this now.
Mattheo Riddle
yes. keep going. I’m bored.
Tom Riddle
You’re always bored.
Wayne McCullough Jr.
same.
Sasuke Uchiha
…
Evan Rosier
Someone just answer the question.
One more message came through. Then everything went very, very still.
Draco Malfoy
The gala means nothing to me unless one very specific person decides to show up.
Pansy Parkinson
I’m sorry WHAT
Barty Crouch Jr.
OH????
Astoria Greengrass
WHO IS IT WHO IS IT WHO IS IT
Daphne Greengrass
Draco Malfoy having a secret crush is not something I had on my bingo card.
Blaise Zabini
No one did. This is unprecedented.
Lorenzo Berkshire
WAIT WAIT WAIT Malfoy who??
Theodore Nott
This should be good.
Regulus Black
I’m listening.
Mattheo Riddle
same. like actually listening.
Tom Riddle
Do go on, Draco.
Draco Malfoy
None of you are ready for this.
Evan Rosier
Spit it out.
Wayne McCullough Jr.
yeah.
Sasuke Uchiha
…
Dorcas Meadowes
Draco, I swear to Merlin.
Draco Malfoy
It’s Y/n.
The chat went silent for exactly four seconds.
Pansy Parkinson
WHAT
Barty Crouch Jr.
IM SORRY?????
Astoria Greengrass
THE Y/N?? THE ONE YOURE ALWAYS FIGHTING WITH??
Blaise Zabini
There’s no way. I’m dreaming.
Lorenzo Berkshire
NO SHOT. NO ABSOLUTE SHOT.
Theodore Nott
You hate them. You literally glare at them like they set your owl on fire.
Regulus Black
This is either a joke or a mental breakdown.
Draco Malfoy
It’s not a joke.
I don’t hate them. I never did.
Pansy Parkinson
You literally called them insufferable three days ago.
Draco Malfoy
Because I’m a coward. And an idiot. And hopelessly in love with them.
Mattheo Riddle
OH THIS IS INSANE
Tom Riddle
Keep talking.
Dorcas Meadowes
Draco Malfoy just said he’s in love. I need to sit down.
Evan Rosier
You’re already sitting.
Dorcas Meadowes
I need to sit down harder.
Draco Malfoy
The arguments. The glares. The stupid rivalry. That was the only way I could get them to look at me.
I didn’t know what else to do. I still don’t.
Daphne Greengrass
So you picked being their enemy on purpose?
Draco Malfoy
I panicked. Every single time. They’d say my name and my brain would just stop working.
Blaise Zabini
This is either the most romantic thing I’ve ever read or the most pathetic.
Lorenzo Berkshire
BOTH. BOTH IS GOOD.
Astoria Greengrass
Draco I’m actually crying what do you mean you fixed your hair every morning just for them
Draco Malfoy
I did. Every morning. Like an idiot. Hoping they’d glance at me once.
I lose arguments on purpose just to hear them talk longer.
I said all that mean shit because I didn’t know how to be around them without giving myself away.
Pansy Parkinson
You are down so bad it’s actually sad.
Theodore Nott
Tragic. Genuinely tragic.
Regulus Black
So what do you actually want?
Draco Malfoy
I want to give them my cloak in the courtyard. I want to study with them in the library without it turning into a fight. I want to hold their hand by the Black Lake.
I want them to know I’m not their enemy. I never was.
And I can’t stop thinking about the way they looked at me this afternoon. I glared at them. Again. I didn’t mean to. They probably hate me.
Barty Crouch Jr.
oh this is heartbreaking actually
Dorcas Meadowes
I’m invested.
Mattheo Riddle
I’m living for this. This is the best night of my life.
Evan Rosier
You need to tell them.
Sasuke Uchiha
Or just stop glaring.
Wayne McCullough Jr.
yeah. that’s a start.
Draco Malfoy
I know. I know I should.
But if they reject me, I don’t think I’ll survive it.
