#21 (“I told you not to get too close to me!”)
Although you and Pansy Parkinson shared the same house, you despised one another and were basically at war.
But it was more her then it was you, and that was all because of your relationship with Draco Malfoy, your Slytherin prince. It is true that in the beginning, you both hated each other with such passion but something happened that changed everything and what that was took you and everyone else by surprise.
Draco Malfoy could be for those who know him best, be the most complicated person to ever have met. He can come across as no more then a cold person, but he will eventually soften up when a solid friendship is in place. It was different with you, you’ve made Slytherin despite of being a muggle born and when Draco Malfoy found that part of you out, that’s when the teasing started. When Draco would tease, he would encourage everyone else around to do it as well. Yes it made you miserable the longer it went on, but you didn’t let that stand in your way for a decent school year and that’s what earned you his respect and friendship which would soon turn into something more. The day it all started was the very day that everyone, including yourself, got to witness Draco Malfoy defend you from Pansy. It was safe to say that Pansy was not happy about it at all and after she was confronted by him, she stalked away sobbing while saying to him oh how he never loved her. Draco was never afraid to speak his mind, and what he said shocked you.
“You never loved me!” Pansy cries, covering her teary eyes.
“You’re right, Pansy. But since when did I ever love you?”
Pansy looks up at him before turning her eyes on you, pointing a finger accusingly at you before saying:
“You’re gonna regret this, (L/n). I’ll make sure of it. Mark my words.”
With that, she turns away and when she was no longer in sight, Draco turns back to you with an expression of concern.
One of the things you and Draco shared in common was that you were in the same year and was just about to enter your sixth year at Hogwarts together.
When you got to the station, you were over the hills excited to be entering your sixth year. After getting on the train, you notice that Draco had seemed to have change over the summer, and not in a good way. It made it tough for you to figure out if he was just as much looking forward to the new school year as you or not. Draco seemed more distant and somehow cold, and you didn’t like it.. you needed to know what happened over the summer. However, when you start asking Draco about how his summer was, he didn’t seem to want to talk about it, so you reluctantly went to your next best source.
Even though she was your rival, you knew that she would know everything Draco wasn’t telling and everything you wanted to know.
As classes were being let out for the day, you get the opportunity to push Pansy up against the wall a little, and when you asked what all she knew, she was completely honest with you that you almost wish that she wasn’t. You were just as disappointed as you were taken by surprise to learn that Draco Malfoy had become a death eater over the summer. After being informed, you attempted to go track Draco down for a talk, and it shouldn’t have been as difficult as it was to find him. You waited late that night in the Slytherin common room for Draco, but he didn’t show and that concerned you even more. The next day, when you still haven’t seen him around anywhere, you head down for the Great Hall to grab some breakfast with the rest of the school. Surely eating something will help make things easier for you and less stressful.
But you were wrong. You were eating something that tasted wonderful to you until you overhear the Gryffindors start talking about Draco being involved in what happened to Katy Bell. Hearing this was more mortifying then anything else, really. Not once did you think that Draco could be capable of doing something like that. Now after hearing all of this, your doubts started clouded your mind to where you couldn’t think straight. Since you were now having your doubts, you knew that you needed to find him right away and confront him about it. As much as you didn’t want to, you knew it had to be done, if it meant that you could help him leave the dark side. While all of this was on your mind, you almost missed Draco walk by you. You did a double take before getting up to follow him, and as you followed him, you see that Harry is about to have the same idea to follow. Seeing that you were already on it, you watch as he rejoins the Gryffindor table and digging into the meal with Ron and Hermoine.
As you follow, it didn’t matter to you that he had entered the boy’s restroom. You allowed yourself to follow through and watch as he leans over the sink as if he’s about to be sick, Draco seemed distraught and nearly devastated. While your boyfriend was standing over the sink, you were about to step out of the shadows before he quickly looked up at the mirror in front of him. You thought he had seen your reflection in the mirror. Thankfully, you realize he doesn’t see your reflection in the background of what lays behind him. You continue to stare until your voice boomed throughout his ears.
“Draco Malfoy!” He turns as you approach.
Everything was stabled between you, light conversations until it all turned into a screaming match.
“You’ve changed, Draco. You’ve become someone I don’t recognize anymore, I don’t like it!”
“I told you not to get too close to me, (Y/n). But what did you do?!”
“When did you ever say that?!”
“That’s right, (Y/n). You really have no idea what I’ve gone through and what I’m going through.”
“Try me, Malfoy. You might be surprised.”
Having been called by his last name caused you to look up at you with a suspicious look on his face before saying anything.
“I know, Draco! I know about the dark mark! Pansy had told me everything!”
Draco closes his eyes as if that would make all of what was going on right now go away, he looks away.
You didn’t want to know what he’d say next, as the worst case scenario would be with him ending the relationship the two of you shared for quite sometime now. You waited, but not hearing Draco say anything was driving you mad, and as you were about to say something, you hear sniffing. Looking back at him, you see that he’s crying, which is something you’d think that you would ever get to see. Not knowing what to say, you spoke quietly, keeping words short.
What you did next was basically beyond your control, you hugged him as well as comforted him.
After for what seemed like forever, you both slowly pulled away, still holding onto each other. Neither of you wanting to let go. Being the person you are, you started talking and reassuring him that everything will be okay and things would workout how they’re supposed to, and nothing could/would ever change the love you hold for him in your heart.
“It’s going to be okay, Draco. Everything will be okay, we will make it work and it will all work out.”
Though Draco claims otherwise, his glossy eyes told a whole different story, so you continued on.
In the end, you both lived through your own promise about it being okay, it was more then okay, much more then okay. In the end was happiness and a future for you both. A happy ending was in store for the both of you.
Happiness and happy endings.
