Panther girl 2 · Y/n story by @nikki

Morning light slipped through the heavy curtains of the Slytherin dormitory, pale and grey and lazy—the sort of light that belonged to weekends, when no one had anywhere to be.

Draco Malfoy

voice rough from sleep You're heavy.

A low, rumbling purr was the only response.

Draco Malfoy

sighs, but doesn't move I mean it. You're crushing my ribs.

One yellow eye cracked open, peering up at him with unmistakable amusement.

Draco Malfoy

glares down at her Don't look at me like that. You're worse than a bloody dog.

The panther yawned in response—a slow, deliberate display of sharp white teeth—then closed her jaws with a soft click and laid her head back down on his chest.

Draco Malfoy

muttering Pansy was right. You're insufferable when you're comfortable.

His fingers were already moving though, carding absently through her fur, scratching behind her ears in a way he'd never admit to doing out loud.

Draco Malfoy

quietly You know it's Saturday, don't you? No classes. No reason to be awake.

The panther chuffed—a soft, breathy sound that might have been agreement.

Draco Malfoy

Then go back to sleep.

He didn't stop scratching behind her ears.
