Treat You Better [𝙾𝙽 𝙷𝙾𝙻𝙳] (Narcissa Malfoy x Reader)

Chapter Three

I woke up the same way today as yesterday. My alarm was vibrate and annoyingly loud. The only difference is that I had to actually crawl under my bed to get to my alarm clock.

'Definitely going to glue that to my stupid table. This clock basically has legs!'

I puffed a piece of hair out of my face when I came back up from the ground. I sat on the edge of my bed to try to catch my breath. I felt nerves settle in my stomach when I remembered I had it go back to the manor after classes today, at least I don't have to hear the conversations at the Slytherin table during dinner. I wonder if dinner will be before or after the studying, likely before. Draco's last class ends at four today, tonight should be interesting seeing as dinner typically starts at half past five. I got up and ready. I normally don't eat breakfast, I go straight to class. Potions was the same as always, Snape deducted house points from Gryffindor but that's to be expected. Charms and transfiguration were still fun.

My day was fine, though my days turned to weeks and my weeks were turning into clockwork. I don't really think that's a bad thing though. I was glad but also bummed when I didn't get any new work today, I at least expected professor Snape to give me something. I was lounging on the couch in the common room like I had yesterday, but I was just picking at my nails waiting for Draco.

'Everyday is the same. That's not necessarily bad though, right? At least I'm staying out of trouble unlike other students. But it's starting to feel like everyday just morphs into each other, making it feel like a never ending day. This is such a stupid loop.'

I rolled my eyes. Eventually, something exciting would happen during my days at Hogwarts. I just don't think it's anytime soon.

"Hi, Y/n!" Draco was approaching me.

"It's good to see you in a happy mood, Draco. Are you ready to go?" I looked him up and down.

"Yup! I have my books!" He held his bag up and seemed much more excited today than yesterday. I'm glad to see I'm helping him become excited to learn more.

"Great. Let's head off grounds." I said as I stood from the couch. I grabbed my book bag off the cushion next to me and moved to be next to Draco.

We were walking off grounds and were near the gate.

"What's your favorite class this year? Isn't it astronomy?" Draco looked up to me.

"That's right. Last year I did enjoy transfigurations though." I answered.

"Good because my homework tonight is transfigurations and I'm lost." He emphasized on the lost. I held back my smile.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to make it interesting for you." I saw him smile at the ground. "Alright, let's go." I held my hand out for him to take.

He grabbed my hand and we were gone in an instant. Thankfully, we appeared much closer to the front door today than yesterday. Once again, the door opened before either of us could knock. I was expecting the house elf again, but it wasn't Dobby. Narcissa opened the door with a smile on her face.

"Afternoon mother!" Draco hugged his mother.

"Hello, Draco." She replied. I couldn't look away from the two of them. I wished I had that type of relationship with my parents, they're both like Lucius in the way he avoids basically all contact including conversational.

Narcissa turned to me and her smile grew. I realized I was just staring and smiling at the two so I kind of cleared my throat and looked away.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Malfoy." I said.

I was taken off guard when she embraced me like she did draco. I took a second to process what was happening but I closed my arms around her too.

'Her hugs are nice, comfortable.'
