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

Chapter Nine

Classes today weren't extremely interesting because there wasn't anything new. In potions we still hadn't actually started the polyjuice potion yet, we went over the possible dangers of it. I hope we'll actually start it tomorrow. Divinations and transfigurations weren't too different. Professor McGonagall asked about updates on our dragons, which was nice because each dragon definitely has its own personality. And as usual this year, Professor Lockhart is still being incompetent. I mean, what kind of assignment is to read his autobiography?

As each class ended, I felt myself get progressively more nervous to go to the Manor. Not because I didn't want to see Narcissa, because I do. But because I need to hold myself back and I know that I don't want to. But as long as I do what I came for, everything is going to be fine. Right?

Now, I was waiting for Draco at his last class. He didn't stop by my dorm this morning, which was strange. He's been there every day since we started tutoring. As he left his class, his head was down and he hadn't noticed me yet.

"Hi, Draco." He looked up and smiled.

I'm guessing that maybe his day didn't start too great but I hope it's going to get better.

"Hi, Y/n!" Draco practically shouted and skipped to my side.

I laughed slightly, "I see you're excited." 

"Today's been a long day." He said a little quietly.

"I get it. It has been a long day. Are you ready to go back to the Manor? I think we're having dinner there again."

"Yeah, I am."

"Good. What work do you have today?"

"I have transfigurations again and astronomy I think. Professor Sprout said that our project is coming up this weekend."

"What project?"

"Over the weekend, we have to care for our own mandrakes. I think we have to spend the weekend at the Manor since it's homework."

'That's exciting. Wait, stay the weekend? This should be interesting.'

"Are you sure that we'd have to stay?" I didn't want him to think I was excited to stay.

"I'm sure once father hears about the project, he'll want us to stay. Maybe I could take you on a tour of the Manor today!" Draco got super excited.

'Orrrr, Narcissa could take me on a tour.'

"I guess we'll see." I laughed.

I hoped that we have to stay but I'm also completely nervous. I don't know how I feel about being around Lucius for the entire weekend. But then again, I haven't seen him much whenever I do go over so maybe he's always busy.

Draco and I didn't speak as we walked off the grounds, I guess we're both kind of tired and are ready for this day to be done.

"Are you ready?" I turned to Draco as we went through the gates.

"As I'll ever be." He grabbed my hand.

"Alright. Let's go." And with that, we disapperated.

We landed right in front of the door, we were so close that we'd get hit if the door opened outward. Draco was the one to open the door again, just like the other day.

"Do you want to stay in the living area again?" Draco asked when we stopped in the foyer.

"Yeah, that's fine with me." I answered as I followed him into the living area.

We both set our book bags down on the sofa before making our way back into the corridor. We walked a little slower to the dining room than we probably should've but maybe his parents weren't there yet?
