The Accidental Poll · Y/n story by @supercham

The screen of your phone lights up the dark of your dormitory. It’s nearly midnight.

Pansy Parkinson

Alright, I’m bored. Hypothetical.

A poll appears beneath her message. The options are just the names of everyone in the chat.

Lorenzo Berkshire

Pansy what the fuck kind of question is that

Pansy Parkinson

A fun one, Lorenzo. Vote or I’ll tell everyone about the time you cried during Fantastic Beasts.

Theodore Nott

He cried because the Niffler stole his watch. It was sentimental.

Lorenzo Berkshire

IT WAS MY GRANDFATHER’S

A few votes trickle in. Pansy votes for herself. Daphne, predictably, abstains.

System

Draco Malfoy has voted for: Draco Malfoy.

Mattheo Riddle

Obviously.

Draco Malfoy

Don’t be absurd, Riddle. It’s not a question of brute force. It’s a question of competence.

Blaise Zabini

I just think it would be the most entertaining outcome. For me.

Mattheo Riddle

You think you’re more competent than me, Malfoy? In that scenario? laughing emoji

Draco Malfoy

I know I am.

Pansy Parkinson

Oh, this is better than I hoped.

The chat descends into absolute warfare.
