You were Harry Potter's ex-girlfriend, and you needed someone to fake date in order to make Harry jealous. But when you heard dating rumors about you and Draco Malfoy, it couldn't possibly be a coincidence.. right?
You sat across from Draco on the train to Hogwarts. The air was thick; full of tension and anticipation.
"So," Draco finally said, "Y/L/N? What do you want?"
"You and I have a bad past with Potter," you said, reaching out to caress Draco's knuckles with your thumb. But Draco wisely refused. "Maybe we could make him jealous?"
"And you mean...?" Draco put his hands back on the table in front of him.
"Date me." You reached out for Draco's hands again, and he held your hands in his, kneading them gently. "Fake date me, at least. To make Potter jealous. Surely he'll leave us alone. Then we can part ways and pretend like nothing happened."
This disappointed Draco. Little did you know, Draco had a massive crush on you. He just didn't know how to tell you. Especially while you were dating Harry. But Draco nodded.
"Alright," he said. "Deal."
You thanked Draco as he continued to massage your hands. Draco smiled. "You're welcome," he whispered.
