Mrs Malfoy

Chapter 16

"Draco... hi" I laughed shyly. "Hello?" he replied, now entering the room. I didn't know what to say or do. I couldn't just tell him, and I'm hoping Pansy can keep quiet.

"Y/N what's going on?" Draco asked. He looked so concerned and it was breaking me lying to him. But I know that the truth would break him, so I would much rather break myself to save him.

"Please don't ignore me" he was now just feet away from me. I looked at Pansy for help, she gestured for me to tell him. But I'm still not sure that it is a good idea.

"How much did you hear?" I asked him. "Just the part when you said that I can't know because it will kill me" my stomach dropped. There was no way out of this. I'm not smart enough to come up with a believable lie... this time.

"Draco I can't tell you, I'm sorry" he turned to Pansy but before he could even ask her anything, she stopped him. "It's not up to me to tell you Dray. It has to come from Y/N"

This is horrible. Pansy shouldn't have to be in this situation, it isn't fair.

"Y/N, if you feel like you can't tell me because of how I'm going to react then you have nothing to worry about. I promise I won't get mad or hate you for whatever it is" there was a hint of desperation in his voice. He sounds worried.

"You can't promise me that Draco" I sighed. He doesn't know what it is and I can almost guarantee that he will hate me when he does find out.

"Tell me then, and you'll see that I can" he whispered, placing his hand on my shoulder and giving it a light squeeze.

"Fine... I'minarelationshipwithyourmotherandIthinkI'minlovewithher" I blurted out, leaving Draco traumatised.

"Y/N... slow down. I didn't catch a word of that" he yelled. "Sorry. Basically, I am in a relationship with your mother" I watched as his eyes widened, just like Pansy's did.

He grabbed a pillow and began hitting me with it. "MY MOTHER? OF ALL PEOPLE Y/N? YOU CHOOSE MY MOTHER!" he screamed. I couldn't even manage a reply, he was battering me too hard with the cushion.

"DRACO STOP" Pansy shouted, grabbing the pillow from him so that he would stop attacking me. There were tears streaming down his porcelain face.

"See Draco. I told you that you couldn't keep that promise" I breathed. I was flustered from him hitting me.

He just stared at me for what felt like an eternity, his fists clenched and his knuckles were turning white. It took a while but he relaxed then he finally spoke. "I'm sorry"

It caught me by surprise, "why are you sorry Draco?"

"For attacking you, it was out of character. It just... it came as a shock" he was still crying and my heart was breaking. I had just hurt my best friend.

"Draco I'm really really sorry" I whispered, fighting back the tears. "Actually Y/N, it's alright"

"What?" I replied in confusion. I had just told him that I am in love with his mother, so he attacked me with a pillow. And now he is telling me that it's alright. Bipolar much?

"I said that it's alright" he repeated. I looked at Pansy and even she was confused. "Look, I've noticed sudden happiness in my mother that she hasn't had for years. And if that is because of you Y/N, then I support it" he said.

I suppose Narcissa does seem a lot happier but, surely that isn't because of me? "My father hasn't been able to keep her happy for a long time. But because you can, I am alright with it"

I stood up and hugged him tightly. "Thank you" I whispered in his ear. He hugged me back but said nothing. I understood that this was going to be hard for him, seeing his best friend and his mother together.

I am just so relieved that he supports it. The last thing I would have wanted is to lose a friend. Especially Draco.

He has stuck by me all through my time at Hogwarts. Even though I was friends with Harry, Ron and Hermione he was still there.

It would be stupid to lose him over this but, I could totally understand why he would want to forget about me. But luckily for me, he doesn't!

I finally let him go and smiled. He smiled back and I began to walk out of the room to find my love. "Y/N, just one more thing" he said. I turned around and nodded, fearful of what was going to come out of his mouth next.

"Just don't be all over my mother around me, I would rather not be sick" he joked. My heart stopped pounding and I gave him a half hearted smile. "I'll try" I laughed lightly.

At least I know his sense of humour isn't broken.

I left Pansy and Dray to talk and went to find Narcissa.
