Serpent's Kiss // Draco Malfoy✔️

Secrets Revealed

I was sat, frozen in place; this couldn't be true. How can it be true? I mean, yeah I can see some resemblances but that doesn't mean anything. Draco's probably just trying to pull my leg. And besides, who would my real mom be? My mother, Petunia Dursley, certainly wouldn't have a child with Snape.

I could feel myself breathing heavily in short, uneven breaths when I thought, What if she's not my real mom? What if the Dursleys aren't my real parents? I am beyond confused and nervous. Draco couldn't be telling the truth.

"Y/n, I know this is hard to process but it's true. And Snape said if you wanted answers then to go talk to him in his office," Draco said to me. I turned and looked at him then responded with a shaky breath, "Will you come with me?" Draco sighed. "This is a family matter. between the two of you. I don't want to get involved," He said. I frowned and looked at him enough a sad look. "But if you want, I can ask Snape if he's okay with me there," Draco told me. I shook my head, "No, i-it's fine. I'll go alone," I said to him. "You sure?" He asked. I nodded in response.

"When are you going to go?" Draco then asked. "He told me that he's available anytime during the Christmas holiday," He added. "Maybe tomorrow. The last twenty minutes, or however long it's been, has been so stressful. I need rest," I breathed deeply. "Would you like me to escort you back to your common room?" Draco asked with a small smile on his face. "Pansy's probably worried about you," I told him. "Eh, who cares?" He shrugged. I chuckled lightly.

"Just try and forget about what I told you for the rest of the night, okay? Focus on something that makes you happy. Tomorrow you can think about it all you want. Today's supposed to be a happy day," Draco said to me heartfully. I nodded then rested my head on his shoulder, starting to replay the memory of us dancing outside in the snow. I smiled in contentment.

I suddenly heard three familiar voices come closer to Draco and I. I bolted right up just as Harry, Ron and Hermione came around the corner.

"Y/n what are you doing here? And with Malfoy? And what happened to your hand?" Harry began questioning. "Harry, stop interrogating her," Hermione snapped. "I'm on Harry's side, what are you doing, y/n, and what happened to your hand?" Ron started. "For your information, Potter and Weaselbee, we just happened to cross paths. I was sitting here as Dursley was walking down the stairs," Draco lied. "I know you're not telling the truth, Malfoy. I saw the two of you walking with Professor Dumbledore and Snape," Harry said.

"Why were you with Dumbledore and Snape?" Ron questioned. "None of your business," I snapped at him. "She was bleeding, her hand, I bet Malfoy did it," Harry glared at Draco. "For your information, Potter, I didn't do anything. You just like blaming me for things just because you don't like me," Draco stood up and said. "I know you did this Malfoy, you're a cruel person who no one is ever going to love," Harry shot at him.

I looked at Draco. He had a large, broken frown on his face and hurt eyes. I hated seeing him like this.

"You know what, Harry? You're wrong," I walked down the rest of the steps and stood in front of Harry. "Now might not be the best time, n/n," Hermione said quietly to me. I completely ignored her. "What do you mean?" Harry asked. "I'm going to tell you something that you won't like, at all," I said to him. "You don't have to do this," Draco whispered in my ear. I ignored him as well.

"For months I have hidden a secret from you, just because I didn't want us to get in a fight and ruin our relationship. But now, I'm thinking screw it. I don't care what you think, so here it is, Draco and I are friends, we have been since September. He bought me this dress and these rings. More importantly, he has been here for me when I was upset and he cares about me. When you saw us talking to each other before, he was saying how pretty I looked. And this morning while you were drooling over Cho and I was yelling at Ron you didn't even bother to come over but Draco was there," I admitted to Harry. I could feel the heat coming off his face. Before Harry could have the chance to say something, Ron butted into the conversation by yelling, "Malfoy is D?!"
