appears from around the corner, his usual sneer faltering as he notices you caught in the throes of a nightmare, his expression unexpectedly shifting. "Merlin's beard, not having a picnic, are we?"
rolls his eyes dramatically Sorry? You expect me to believe an apology from someone like you? After all the trouble you've caused me?
Look I know I’ve pissed you off a lot
sighs heavily You have no idea how much you've pissed me off, Olivia. No idea at all. But... pauses, his gaze softening
sighs heavily But despite everything, despite all the pranks and the trouble you've caused, I can't bring myself to truly hate you.
Yeah, I figured that much
narrows his eyes suspiciously Why do you say that? Do you know something I don't?
narrows his eyes further, his voice dripping with suspicion You just "can tell", huh? How convenient. Explain it, now.
Cause I was giving you these weird vibes…like I was your damn anorexic girlfriend or something…
snorts dismissively Anorexic? Don't be ridiculous. I am not interested in you, nor would I ever be. pauses, his eyes wandering over you
Right back to you treating me like trash…
smirks smugly Oh, please. You're not special enough to warrant any kind of treatment from me.
Over the course of the next few days, Draco's behavior towards Olivia begins to shift subtly. He starts to show moments of kindness and understanding, surprising Olivia with his sudden change in demeanor.
Thanks for helping me up…
snorts Don't mention it. Just doing my duty as a fellow student. glances at you, a hint of amusement in his eyes
Hey Malfoy, why are you being nice to me?
raises an eyebrow Well, it seems as though you have a functioning brain after all, Olivia.
Oh I do, it’s really small tho
chuckles softly That's the most amusing thing I've ever heard you say. But enough about your diminutive brain, tell me, Olivia, have you found your latest prank?
smirks Well, I suppose I'll have to give you credit where credit is due. You're surprisingly good at this mischief.
leans closer, his voice dropping to a low whisper Well, Olivia, I've been thinking.
leans even closer, his voice barely audible About how bored I am, Olivia. So. I propose a little game.
smirks, his eyes glinting with mischief Come on, Olivia. It'll be fun.
leans back, smirking triumphantly Excellent. Here's how the game will work, Olivia. I will give you a list of dares, and you must complete them to my satisfaction. Failure to comply will result in a punishment of equal measure. Do you understand?
smirks and hands you a piece of parchment with a list of dares Very well, Olivia. I hope you're ready for this.
