During a tense game of truth or dare, Astoria seethes watching Y/N and Draco’s easy, obvious flirting, her dislike clear as she turns to Y/N with a strange, cutting question meant to unsettle. But Y/N refuses to let her speak with such disrespect, meeting her sharply and holding her ground—before Draco quickly steps in, openly defending Y/N, calling out Astoria’s hostility, and making clear he won’t tolerate her unfair treatment of her.
Y/N Lestrange, the daughter of Bellatrix Lestrange, and Draco Malfoy, the only son of Lucius Malfoy, have been inseparable since childhood. Raised in two of the most powerful pure-blood families in the wizarding world, they grew up together, sharing everything from private jokes and midnight adventures to dangerous secrets that could ruin their families. At Hogwarts, they are practically untouchable, always seen together, whether they’re causing trouble in the Slytherin common room, sneaking around the castle after curfew, or standing side by side when anyone dares to challenge them. With their sharp tongues, Slytherin pride, and equally stubborn personalities, they understand each other better than anyone else ever could. But as they grow older, their friendship begins to change. The lingering glances, the jealousy neither will admit to, and the way Draco always seems to put Y/N before everyone else make it increasingly difficult to pretend that they’re just best friends. With their parents’ expectations, the growing tension in the wizarding world, and secrets from their families threatening to pull them apart, Y/N and Draco must decide whether their bond is simply the result of growing up together—or something neither of them is willing to lose.
Draco and Y/N grew up in a tangled state of being neither truly friends nor strangers. Lately, he’s developed feelings for her, though he stubbornly refuses to admit them. One day in class, he’s lost in thought, silently longing, “Oh Y/N, I wanna feel you close”—unaware that she’s using Legilimency and hears every word. She meets his gaze, making him quickly look away. “Oh Draco, don’t look away,” she says. Flustered and defensive, he snaps, “I swear to God Y/L/N, get out of my head!” to which she calmly replies, “Stop thinking about me first.”
Y/N and Draco Malfoy have been together for what feels like forever, but their relationship is far from healthy. They argue constantly, hurt each other with words they don’t always mean, and somehow always end up back together, neither of them having the courage to be the one to finally walk away. Y/N’s best friend, Pansy Parkinson, sees how much the relationship is affecting her and is constantly reminding Y/N that Draco isn’t good for her, but Y/N always finds another reason to stay. Meanwhile, Draco’s best friend, Blaise Zabini, has noticed the same thing from Draco’s side and repeatedly tells him that Y/N isn’t good for him either, insisting that their relationship has become more damaging than loving. Draco refuses to listen, just as Y/N refuses to listen to Pansy, and despite everyone around them seeing how unhealthy their relationship has become, they remain stuck in the same cycle of arguments, apologies, and going back to each other. But as things between them become harder to ignore and their friends begin to realise that something needs to change, Y/N and Draco are eventually forced to confront the question neither of them has ever wanted to answer: how long can two people stay together when they both know they’re hurting each other?
Y/N is the daughter of Elias, one of the most powerful and feared men in the wizarding world, whose strict rules have made life at home feel more like a prison than a family. In Elias’s house, even the smallest mistake comes with a punishment—from a messy room or untidy hair earning a week of lockdown, to speaking badly about the family resulting in three weeks, and revealing anything about Elias’s connections with Draco Malfoy’s father earning a full month confined to her room. Everyone knows better than to cross Y/N, terrified that Elias will retaliate against their families, but Y/N hates living under his shadow and desperately wishes he could have no part in her life. One night, fed up with his rules, she secretly sneaks out through her bedroom window and heads to a party, where she finds Draco Malfoy, Cedric Diggory, Pansy Parkinson, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Theodore Nott, Matteo Riddle, the Greengrasses, and plenty of other familiar faces. For the first time, Y/N feels completely free from her father’s control, throwing herself into the party and getting far more drunk than she ever intended—without realising that sneaking out may have consequences far worse than a week of room lockdown.
Y/N and Draco Malfoy have been broken up for a while, but they still have one thing keeping them connected: their three-year-old daughter, who has Draco’s last name. Although they aren’t exactly on the best terms, they still talk every day, constantly sending each other pictures and updates about their little girl. Draco, however, never really stopped loving Y/N and secretly wants her back, while Y/N isn’t sure if getting back together is what she wants. As they continue co-parenting and spending more time talking to each other, old feelings begin to resurface, making them both question whether their little family could ever be together again.
At a party, Y/N and Cedric, who have always hated each other, end up drinking far more than they intended. As the night gets messier, they eventually disappear upstairs together, with neither of them remembering exactly how they got there. The next morning, they wake up in Cedric’s bed, confused and unsure of what they actually did the night before, with only scattered memories from the party coming back to them.
