Draco Malfoy Imagines

Not a Happy Family

Draco and Y/n laid on the grass below a tree in the courtyard. They looked up at the sky looking at the clouds and occasionally exchanged looks, making both of them smile. Draco's hand softly brushed against Y/n's as he played with her fingers.

He loved moments like these. Where it was just the two of them, forgetting about the rest of the world.

"Do your parents know about me?" Draco asked turning to his side, so he could look at her. "Yes Draco, why wouldn't they? They're very glad to see me being happy with you." She turned to him noticing the small hint of pink in his cheeks. "How were your parents growing up?" He asked suddenly wanted to know more about her life.

They had only been dating a couple weeks, yet he didn't know much about her home life – and neither did she.

"They were like any other parents. I'm the only child, so I was loved very very much. They bought me everything and did everything they could, so I could have a happy life." She smiled at the clouds remembering her childhood memories.

Both Y/n's parents were amazing and intelligent wizards. They worked for the Ministry, which is mainly why Y/n grew up never being told 'no' because her parents could afford it. They loved seeing their perfect daughter as happy as she could be.

"What about you?" She asked making Draco regret ever asking her about her life. How could he ever compare her perfect life to his. His obvious change in his attitude made Y/n know she asked the wrong question, but she wondered why?

She knew Draco's parents were purebloods and his father worked in the Ministry as well. Why was his family a sensitive question?

"Are you alright?" She asked him as she sat up to face him. Draco nodded, but didn't say anything.

He knew he had to speak about his parents soon enough. If they wanted to keep dating Y/n would have to meet them soon.

"My mom..." He finally spoke as he sat up as well to face her. "She's amazing, the best mother one could ask for. She practically raised me. Every weekend we would go out to eat or something, just for us two to have some time." He smiled as he began to remember all the memories.

His smile slowly faded, "My father however, he was very stern. Always wanted me to be the best and if I wasn't I would never hear the end of it. I'm not as close to him as I am with my mother. He cares a lot about his image and his work. There were many times when he would choose work over us."

The memory of his first day going to Hogwarts reminisced in his mind. He remembered how his mother was the only one to come with to buy his schools supplies. And when it was time to get dropped off at station 9¾, his only company was the driver and his mother. His father was stuck at work, the same excuses he always used his whole life.

Y/n could see the sadness in his eyes. She could even see how his blue eyes turned a bit grey, which was odd – but he was sad.

She reached for his hand making him shake from his thoughts. "Are you okay?" She asked him and he nodded. "I just wish I had a family like yours."

Oh how that pained her heart. It was like a knife had just stabbed her. She felt incredibly bad. She talked so proudly about her parents and didn't even realize maybe Draco didn't have the same life. She felt a bit selfish.

"I didn't mean to-" She began, but Draco shook his head. "No don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault okay? You had no idea. My sad life doesn't matter because it doesn't define me. What matters is now and the future."

All he could think about was this moment with Y/n and all the other moments he was going to have with her. He didn't want to be like his father. He didn't want his kids to go through the things he went through.

Draco knew that he was going to be the father he never had.
