b for slytherin cassie in some kind of flatmate situation? idk yolo

[malfoi]

Ugh. What. I must have taken the wrong door last night, I thought it was my room

Sorr


On a scale of 1-10 how mortifying was I?

yesssss!!

[minhalilia]

You were a solid 7.5 on the mortifying scale.

That would explain the question of why I was in your room and the 'I always knew you fancied me, Potter' you mumbled.

[She was very likely teasing on that last bit.]

[malfoi]

[ There's that lurking question if she's messing with him, or if that really happened— In the end, Draco's potentially-wounded pride makes him err on the side of caution: ]

You have to admit, it's a fairly reasonable assumption if you had crawled into my bed stone-cold sober. At least I had the impaired judgment to contend with.

[minhalilia]

No need to worry, you didn't say any such thing.

However, we have been housemates/flatmates for nearly a decade and the only time I crawl into your bed is so we can gossip.

[Not that that happened much, if at all. And any crush she might've had on the other boy had been pushed down. Especially in light of everything she'd been through.]

[malfoi]

[ An unclenching of a vise in his chest, a faint relief. His dignity's a precious thing (often too much so, but still), and the thought of having made a absolute fool of himself in front of Potter— Well. He's been trying to avoid that long enough. ]

Thank Salazar. Good flatmates are hard enough to find. If dragon barrel brandy had permanently ruined our equilibrium and robbed me of a gossiping partner, I'd've had to change my name and flee the country.

Speaking of gossip. I'm fairly sure Theo and Blaise went home together last night. It's one of the last things I remember before stumbling home on the Floo.

[minhalilia]

Agreed. I refuse to live with Pansy again, especially now that she's seeing what's his name.

It's about time! They've only been eyeing each other since sixth year. Daphne owes me five galleons if that is the case.

[malfoi]

I think I deserve a cut of those winnings for bringing this piece of information to your attention, then.

Although perhaps don't tell Daphne I was involved. She's still cross at me for how Astoria and I broke up.

[minhalilia]

How about I buy us drinks next time for your assistance?

My lips are sealed. She will never know. You two are better separate than together if you ask me.

[He clearly didn't ask for her opinion but they'd been friends this long that she had no qualms in telling him what she thought.]

[malfoi]

Deal and deal.

And yes, I've learned that now. If only you'd been better at Divination and could've warned me before the fact...

[minhalilia]

Perfect.

Ugh. If I'd been better at Divination, I'd have known better than to take that ridiculous class for an entire year.

[malfoi]

Not your fault the woman was 99% fraudulent and yet conned her way into a professor position regardless.

[ With a premonition about the exact girl he's texting, but. Best not think about that. It gets too close to turning over stones they've left unturned for a while; the memories of those dark years. ]

[minhalilia]

And the fact that she stayed on for as long as she did is insane to me still.

Also. I made pancakes if you're hungry.

[She was definitely not going to think about the one and only premonition the woman had about herself. She was still working through a ton of those issues.]

[malfoi]

Please. Your pancakes remain Merlin's own cure for hangovers. Do we have blueberries?

[minhalilia]

You're in luck, I picked up some fresh blueberries from the market yesterday. And there's coffee.

[malfoi]

You're a gentlewoman and a scholar, Potter. Never change.

[minhalilia]

And don't you forget it, Malfoy.
