A dark secret

Christmas Break

A/N - As it's my birthday today I thought I'll post another chapter. I apologise in advance this is going to be a bit longer.

*Y/N POV*

It's been a couple of months since the incident with Malfoy. Surprisingly he hasn't bothered me lately but I heard he was annoying some Gryffindors. I'm just glad it's not me.

Next lesson was Charms, taught by Professor Flitwick. He was very short, so short that he had to stand on books on his desk to see all of his students. His hair was white as snow and he wore green robes. His aurora felt generous and kind. And whenever the brunette girl spoke out loud without permission or the boy few seats down from me kept blowing up feathers he would punished them. Unlike Professor Snape.

It's one week before Christmas break and I'm nervous to go back home. My parents did write back to me saying how they still love me and didn't care what house I was placed in but I still felt that clouding disappointment hovering over me. Although I was nervous I couldn't help to feel excited that I'm going back home. To be waking up in my own bed with that sweat cinnamon smell flooding my nose and walking downstairs to see my father in the kitchen making his famous triple chocolate pancake, and seeing my brothers run around the living room like lunatics. Then heading to the living room to see my beautiful mum sitting next to the warm flickering fireplace reading her book. I couldn't wait to spend 2 weeks back there.

Dinner came by and everyone was in the Great Hall eating their food. There was variety of food on the tables like chicken, roast turkey, lamb, vegetables etc. This was the best part of the afternoon, getting to smell all the different ranges of food in the air and hearing people chatting and laughing away. I sat down next to one of the girls I share a room with. Her name was Aurora Knight. While I was eating and introducing myself to her properly, I felt a scrunch up paper hit me in the face. I opened it.

{Meet me in the common room after dinner. - Malfoy}

I look up at him and he gave me a small smile. Great what does he want. After dinner I headed to the common room and waited for Draco on the dark and green Sofa next to the fireplace. One hour goes by and everyone had gone up to bed. Did he really make me wait for no reason? I was about to give up and then someone said my name.

"Hey Y/N" Draco said while sitting down opposite me.

"Hi?" I said in a confused voice. "So what do you want?"

"I thought we could start over and be friends". A small smile grew on his face.

"Is this some sort of dare or something because it's not funny" I said while rolling my eyes.

"No it's not I'm being serious, I thought we could put the things I said in the past. I mean we are both in Slytherin and pure-bloods. Us Slytherin have to stick together".

I start laughing. "Yeah I don't believe that for a second. The only reason you want to be friends is because you know I can bite back". The small smile that was already placed on his face grew into a smirk.

"Okay you got me but we could make a great team" he laughed. So far during the year I haven't made any friends. So maybe becoming friends with him won't be as bad as it sounds.

"Fine we can be friends but I'm not getting into any trouble with you Draco Malfoy" I smiled back at him.

We both shook hands and went off to our dorms.

I felt the train come to a stop and students are already rushing out to meet their families. I gathered my things and got off the Hogwarts Express while scanning the area for my parents. As soon as I got a few feet away from the train I felt this huge wave hit my body making me stumble. I look down to see both my brothers hugging each side of me. I smiled and ruffled their brown curly hair.

"Y/n darling, I'm so happy to see you. Welcome back home" my mother said walking up to me. I ran up to her and gave her the biggest hug I could give. I really missed her. Missed that sweat perfume that was rubbing off her clothes and into my nose. Missed her comfort. I looked around but couldn't see my father.

"Your father is at work. He wished to be here but it's been very busy down at the Ministry" she said as she saw the confusion in my eyes. My father worked in the Ministry of Magic in the magical law enforcement department. He is an Auror. My mother is a writer but not just in the wizarding world but also in the muggle world. She always believed that muggles and us aren't as different as some people would say. That's why she became an Author, so that she can be in both worlds.

We started walking off when I felt like something was sending daggers into my back. I turned around to see the blonde boy with his parents staring. My mother noticed that I wasn't paying attention to her and turned her head to see what I was interested in.

"Ahh Mrs White" a tall man with platinum blonde hair, like Draco's, headed our way.

"Mr Malfoy" mother said back in return. So they knew each other? They stopped right in font of us and shook hands. Next to the tall blonde man was a slim, tall women with a very pale complexion. She had bright blue eyes and blonde hair. She was beautiful. Her hand was placed on Draco's shoulders while smiling at my mother.

"Oh this is our son Draco" she said in a very clear cold voice tapping his shoulders.

"This is my daughter y/n" mother said nudging me a bit in front of her. "And my two boys Charlie and James".

"What a delight" the tall blonde man said with no expression on his face. "Anyway we must start heading on our way, tell Mr white it was a shame I didn't see him here" with a smirk.

"Oh dear" the slim lady said cutting off Mr Malfoy. "You should come to our Christmas ball we are having this year" she said with a cold expression.

"We would be delighted" my mother said before bowing her head and walking off with me and my brothers. She acted so posh in front of them. And my mother hates Christmas balls. Not to mention I hate dancing.
