Soulmate//Lucius Malfoy x Reader

|4| Soulmate//Lucius Malfoy x Reader

Since we were back in the Burrow, my thoughts revolved around what had happened in Diagon Alley. First this encounter with Lucius Malfoy at Gringotts and then the one in Flourish & Blotts. Meanwhile I had no doubts that he was actually my soulmate. I mean, I can see colours for the first time. My world previously consisted only of dreary black and white images and now I perceived it in all its glorious colours.
That strange feeling I had never felt before and which the man evoked in me with just a single glance, was wonderful on the one hand, but on the other hand it seemed a little scary.

I wasn't sure if I should be happy that I had finally found my soulmate or if the whole thing wasn't an absolute disaster.
I finally knew who was meant for me, who fate had destined for me. On the other hand, I was worried about who he was. My soulmate was Lucius fucking Malfoy. Of course I had heard a lot about him, the name Malfoy was not exactly unknown. The Malfoys were a wealthy pure-blooded family, a family that believed in the superiority of the purity of blood. They despised muggle-borns as well as the families that related to them. And lucky for me, I was exactly what Lucius Malfoy despised: a half-blooded witch with a muggle as father, who was friends with muggle-borns like Hermione.

Besides the fact that Lucius Malfoy would spurn me on account of my friends and my bloodline, he was a married man who had a son my age.
So I found my soulmate and yet I had the bitter certainty that I would never get together with him. I didn't even know whether this affinity was mutual. But he was married, so Narcissa Malfoy had to be his soulmate.

Still I couldn't stop thinking about him, about this encounter and that odd moment in the bookstore yesterday.
What did this man do to me in these short but precious moments? Why can't I just forget him?

„Y/N! Is everything all right? You are so suspiciously quiet since we were in Flourish & Blotts." Ginny asked as she took me out of my mind with a snap in front of my eyes.

„W-what? Uhm yeah, I'm fine, thanks.
I think that I just slowly begin to realise that this is going to be my last year at Hogwarts." I gave her a reassuring smile.

I had lied, yes. But I could never tell her the truth. Not now and maybe never.

"Oh yes, this must be weird for you. I can't believe that I will spend a whole year without you there." Ginny said with a sad smile.

She always had her siblings around her at school and she spent a lot of time with our year. It sure won't be the same for her when we'll be gone. Fortunately, it will just be one year.

"I think I'll take a little walk outside.
I want to be alone for a moment. But don't worry about me, everything is fine. I just need a brief moment for myself." I explained and told her with a quick glance that there was no need to worry.

She nodded, smiling. I knew she'd understand and wouldn't question anything.

I had to figure out what the book Lucius Malfoy gave me was all about. It had to have some deeper significance, I knew it. I just wasn't sure what he was trying to tell me. So I took the book and went outside.

I walked a few meters through the overgrown, but still beautiful and cozy garden of the Weasleys and I sat down not far from the small lake. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment for a little while.
When I opened my eyes, they fell directly on the book lying on my lap. I picked it up again and examined it from all sides. It was a normal book, but I couldn't get rid of the feeling that there had to be something else behind it.
Slowly I drove with my index finger over the golden lettering. Soulmates.
That gave me literally shivers. I couldn't shake the feeling that he had noticed what I was feeling at the moment of our encounter. He must have felt it. But the doubts inside of me spoke clearly against this. I sighed. Maybe I just imagined it all.
