Born too late for you to notice me

I walked into the great hall for breakfast. I was late as usual but I couldn't get myself to care. Looking around for a place to sit I saw my sister and her friends laughing.

Daphne laughed the loudest, per usual, next to her Pansy was just snickering quietly with an evil smirk on her face. Aha, they're gossiping. In front of Pansy was Draco Malfoy quietly whispering something in her ear.

In her ear. Y/n Y/I/n. She was smiling at him. Her beautiful smile that seemed to be reserved for them only. Not once have I tried to become one of them. And sometimes they let me hangout with them. But mostly because she asks them to.

"Hey Daph." I said walking into the common room. There she was. My older sister sitting with her friends. She was painting her nails black, Pansy was reading in a magazine and YIn was working on a potions essay. "Hey Tori what is it?" "Can I hang out with you guys. I'm new here I don't have any friends yet." "Well then go and search for some." she exclaimed bored while poking her tongue out of her mouth. A habit she has when she's concentrating. "Oh come on Daph. She won't bother us right sweetheart?» YIn spoke softly. I looked at her nodding my head excited. "See Daph, let her hang around. Look how cute she is." She pouts while walking toward me and taking my face in her hands. I blushed a bright crimson red and my belly was fluttering with butterflies. "If you say so. Daphne rolled her eyes. YIn threw her arm around my shoulder and pushed me to sit next to her on one of the sofas when Pansy spoke up. "Have you heard about Pucey asking that Ravenclaw girl out?" But I could only concentrate on the gossip so much with YIn's arm still around my shoulder. My belly was full with butterflies that didn't seem to calm down and I knew my feelings for the girl had changed.

That was three years ago when I was in my first year. Now I'm in my third year and she's in her sixth year. I sit down next to my friends and they started talking immediately. But I wasn't listening. I was looking at her talking the morning away. With my sister. Because she's my sisters friend. And I'm just her best friends little sister. Nothing more.

To you I’m just a kid

Walking out of the potions classroom I saw my friends waiting for me. Today was friday and a Hogsmeade weekend just started. We planned to go shopping to finally get a break from school and homework.

So we walked down to the village. It was a warm summer day perfect to just relax.

“Where do you wanna go first?” asked my friend Layla.

“How about Honey Dukes?” I asked.

My friends nodded and made small noises of agreement so we made our way to the small sweets shop.

On our way there I saw my sister and her friend group. Y/n who saw us waved me towards them with her left hand.

She’s right handed why is she waving with her left hand?

In the next two seconds time stopped. Her right hand was holding Dracos. Gulping once I made my way over to them.

“Hey where are you off to?” Pansy asked with a small friendly smile.

I came to like her over time. Not as much as I like Y/n but I liked her. Even when she doesn’t seem nice she actually is when she’s around her friends.

“We were gonna go to Honey Dukes and you?”

“We need new Fire Whiskey. You know the last bottles are gone because your sister here likes to drink a bit too much.” Draco answered for Pansy.

I rolled my eyes. I didn’t have a real reason to. I knew my sister liked to drink. I guess it wasn’t him but the hand he was holding. Shaking my head I composed myself.

“Could you bring us some we don’t have any ways to get it?” I hoped to look older. So she realises I’m not so little anymore.

“What no you’re just a kid. Tori wait a few years and we’re happy to help but you’re just too young now.” Y/n shook her head.

I rolled my eyes with a smile and nodded when she tousled my hair. I tried to make my smile look as real as possible. But when she walked away with her friends and Dracos hand in hers the only thing I could think about was what she said.

That you won’t date

It was already late at night. It was saturday though so I wasn’t too worried that I couldn’t seem to fall asleep. And there was something or rather someone who kept me up. My thoughts were too occupied with her for me to settle down and fall asleep. My roommates were all soundly asleep in the beds next to me. I tried focusing on Laylas steady breathing to lull me to sleep. It almost worked. I was falling slowly asleep until my mind wandered and I thought back to the day before. Kid Kid Kid. I’m only three years younger. If she’d be thirty and I’d be twenty-seven no one would care.

I decided to take my book and go read in the common room. As soon as I closed my dorm door I heard laughing. But I only focused on one of that laughter. It was her laughter. I would recognise her laughter in a room with hundreds of people laughing.

I slowly started climbing down the stairs until I came to face the laughing faces and bright smiles of the whole group. Daphne, Pansy, Draco, Blaise, Theo and most importantly Y/n.

They were all sitting in a circle on the floor, Y/n on Dracos lap, in the middle an empty bottle fire whiskey.

“Toriii! Look guys my little baby sister’s here!” Daphne slurred.

Oh Merlin.

“Come sit with us.” yelled Pansy as if we were im different rooms.

“We’re playing truth or dare want to play?” Blaise chanted.

“I was just going to read my book.” I awkwardly held up my book to prove my point.

I knew I didn’t have anyone to prove anything to but I still felt the need to.

“Oh come on Toriii.” Y/n pleaded.

Who am I to deny her puppy dog eyes?

“Okay but not for long.” I gave in looking at her and couldn’t help but smile.

She’s got that effect on me. But when my eyes wandered from the girl in his lap to the boy in whose lap she’s sitting on I got a sick feeling in my stomach and my smile slowly faded. Luckily subtle enough to remain unnoticed.

I sat down in between Theo and Blaise as Pansy spun the bootle.

A couple of ohh’s went around the circle when it landed in Draco and Y/n.

“Ohh scared Y/n/n” exclaimed Theo so I figured Draco wasn’t playing or at least not anymore.

“Me scared? Never Nott. Bring it on Pans.” Pansy nodded while tapping her chin in a thinking manner.

“Would you date everyone in this circle? And if not tell us who not and why not.” Pansy wiggled her eyebrows.

Again you could hear ohh’s going around in the common room.

“Hmm no I wouldn’t date everyone. I wouldn’t date Theo he’s more of an older brother material for me. I also wouldn’t date Blaise cause I can’t do that to our poor Lovegood girl. And I wouldn’t date Tori. She’s like my little sister. And even if I wouldn’t feel like that she’s still a kid. I’m no pedo.” to the last bit she added a wink which normally would have made me swoon but right now I could only concentrate on trying not to cry.

“Wait wait wait. But you would date Pans and Daph huh?” Draco threw in after pulling his head out of her neck.

She looked at him with pure adoration in her y/e/c eyes and I felt like breaking because that was exactly how I looked at her.

“Hey there would be nothing new! We have kissed before. In fact we taught each other how to kiss in our fourth year. And after some house parties …things happened in the girls dormitories. We understand each other blind and know all the things we don’t like that our past partners did. We are literally perfect for each other maybe I’ll leave you for them.” she added one of her little winks again this time directed to Pansy and Daphne who winked right back while Pansy blew her a kiss.

Everyone was happy while I felt the world around me crumble to pieces.

“Hey I’m tired I’m gonna head off to bed.” I mumbled before making my way to the stairs.

I heard a choir of “night Tori”s and “sleep well”s before climbing the stairs back to my dorm.

Once in bed I cried into my pillow. Like my little sister. Still a kid. Those sentences kept repeating in my head. I cried myself to sleep that night.

Why was I born too late?

The new year just started and per usual gossip is flowing through the great hall while we’re eating breakfast. The whispers are the only thing you can hear after the sorting ceremony but that’s not surprising anymore.

But the thing that scared me is the latest rumour. ‘Draco Malfoy is engaged.’ was being whispered among friends. No one knew if it was true and if it was then I was praying it wasn’t to the person that I imagined.

I saw Daphne walking into the room with Pansy and Y/n on each of her arms. They sat down in their usual seats and start eating breakfast.

After Y/n bit into her banana you could see Draco, Theo and Blaise walk over to them. Draco, of course, sat much to my dismay next to Y/n.

He slung his arm over her shoulder and gave her a sweet kiss on her forehead. She turned to him and smiled softly at him before kissing him still with a smile evident on her lips. He then interlocked their hands together and started eating with his free one.

All I could do was look with sadness clearly on my face. I wanted nothing more than to be the one who got to hold her hand or kiss her forehead. I’d treat her like a princess but I guess he does too. Otherwise she wouldn’t stay with him. She knows what she’s worth.

When I looked back at their interlocked hands my heart stopped.

She was wearing a silver ring on her left ring finger.

I felt my eyes beginning to get teary and my bottom lip begin to tremble.

They’re getting married.

NoNoNoNoNoNo

She was standing up but not without giving Draco a quick peck on the lips. Seeing this made my heart break a little more and I had to control myself to not let the tears roll because I knew once one falls they wouldn’t stop.

She was making her way towards me, smiling a bright smile. I started blinking away my tears as fast as I could.

“Hey Tori! I have something to announce.”

I knew what was coming but I really didn’t want to hear it afraid that I’ll break down in front of the whole great hall.

She held her hand toward my face so I could see the ring. I put on the brightest fake smile I could muster under the circumstances and congratulated her.

“I also need to ask you something. Well I need three brides maids. I already asked Pansy and Daphne and now I need one more. So I thought why not ask my little sister hm?” She bumped her shoulder into mine in a playful manner while saying the last sentence.

I felt my heart being ripped into so many more pieces and I’m afraid they couldn’t be put together anymore.

“Of course! That’s great Y/n!” I managed to get out with a fake smile.

She smiled and hugged me while whispering small thank you’s in my ear.

I watched how she walked back to Draco and whispered something into his ear, most likely that I said yes to being her braids maid.

He smiled at her with pure love and adoration in his eyes and I knew she was happy.

I knew that he would make her happy. Even if I won’t get happy I’ll go to her wedding and put on the realest fake smile I can muster. Because I love her enough to put her happiness before mine. To let her go. Why was I born too late?
