We Belong Together || Draco Malfoy X Reader

94| A Tempting Error

Y/N POV

I found myself to be in the library with a letter that Blaise gave me a few minutes ago. He told me my owl, Grey, was supposed to deliver it to me this morning but I was way too caught up with the whole Pansy situation. Everything would be ruined when it came to Pansy. Not only that she messed my boyfriend's dozy brain, but she also messed everything in my schedule almost every day.

I read the sender information from the envelope to later realise that it was a letter from Mother Cissy. What a coincidence, I was going to write a letter to her too.

Sensing the need to read it secretly, I moved to a seat near the restricted section because frankly, no one would dare to come near this section unless they wanted to get into troubles. Still, I could feel some eyes watching me although I had tried to find a pretty decent place to be considered a discreet location. They were probably the people who saw a little argument I had with Draco earlier in the corridor.

"What are you looking at?" I sneered at them.

They looked away in instant as soon as I made a gesture of slitting their throat, such dumb weaklings. I chuckled a little before opening the envelope and proceeded to read the letter immediately.

Happy Christmas!

If she didn't write anything about Christmas, I would have forgotten that today was Christmas Eve.

I went on reading the letter. She truly was a good lady, she asked about my day and how things were with Draco. She also mentioned that she sent me some Christmas presents that should be arrived at Hogwarts tomorrow morning. To be honest, Mother Cissy had really tried her best to be the mother figure I was missing in life since last year and I was grateful for that.

"Hey," said someone.

"Hi Hermione, reading a new book?"

"I suppose so, but I'm expecting to hear something from you about whatever happens between you and your boyfriend," she said as she sat across me.

"The news has travelled quickly as usual. Some are happy and some just don't care. But as a best friend, I do care about you and I reckon I have the right to know the details," she added.

I sighed nonchalantly and fixed my posture before folding the letter, put it back inside the envelope then shift my eyes to hers.

"Sure if you'd lend me a quill and some ink and parchments, I'll pay you back later. I'm just too lazy to go back to my room and take my own, he can be there waiting for me to come back," I said.

"Here, don't bother to pay me back. We're best friends," she said as she handed the things I had requested straight from the mini bag she brought with her.

"Wow. Do you always bring things like this with you? What are you gonna do with it? Writing ideas?" I asked.

"Everything in this bag is a necessity for me. Unlike you, I don't have a boyfriend to annoy all day, hence I have too much free time to write things up beforehand, all thanks to that redhead friend of ours," she groaned.

"Well, of course, no need to be so tensed, Hermione," I sighed.

I dipped the tip of the quill to the inkpot and started writing some weekly report of me and whatever the thing I had between me and Draco. I had the urge to tell her about everything her only son said to me, hoping that maybe she would come here to visit us and scold him for me. But I understood that she was still in a sorrowful situation with her husband being imprisoned. I supposed I would only need to tell the good things for now.

White lies won't hurt.

"Who are you writing to?" Asked Hermione.

"My mother-in-law to be," I replied casually.
