Y/N x Draco Malfoy (Enemies to Lovers)

The Truth

Y/N's Pov:

I sat on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate and a muffin. I stared into the fireplace with a glow on my face. I will finally have adventures of my own I thought to myself. I felt Remus looking into the emptiness, it felt strange. Remus treated me like his own daughter. Maybe the feeling of going away from the only home I've known, but it felt different. Remus got up from his chair and sat on the opposite side of the couch.

Remus's Pov:

I have to tell Y/N everything, she is old enough to know now, I thought to myself. "Y/N, there is something I need to tell you Love."

"Yes, Uncle."

"I wanted to tell you all these years, but I've been waiting for the right time to tell you, and now that you're leaving for school you must know."
Y/N looked into my eyes and could see the seriousness in my eyes. "What is it, Uncle? Will you tell me I have a long-lost brother who has been studying at Hogwarts, and my parents are still alive?"

"Y/N this isn't the time to be sarcastic, but you are partly correct." I couldn't look Y/N in the eye.



Y/N's Pov:

Remus couldn't look me in the eye, as he said I was partly right about the sarcastic comment I made. I couldn't help but wonder if my parents were alive. Why did they not come to see me? My thoughts were interrupted as Remus explained to me.
"Y/N, you're parents did not pass away in a car accident, they were killed by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. You're father and I were extremely close, he told me that they both were suspicious of something bad happening to them, so he told me to take you and keep you safe. I asked your parents what they would do about Harry, your brother. All they said was to keep you safe, and that they would manage Harry. A few days later You-Know-Who and a group of Death Eaters attacked your parents at Godric's Hollow. They killed both you're parents, but not your brother. Something saved him that night, and he was sent to the Dursleys; you're Aunt, Uncle and Cousin. He has been safe and attending Hogwarts for 2 years now."

I felt like I couldn't breathe. My parents were murdered, and I had a brother that I never met. "Why did you never tell me? HOW COULD YOU HIDE THIS FROM ME?" I yelled at Remus. I got up and stormed to my room. I locked the door and fell to the floor as tears started to form in my eyes. A lot was going through my head. I picked myself up and crawled onto my bed. I took out my AirPods and put on some music and I drowned in my thoughts. My eyes felt tired and my cheeks stained with dried tears. My eyelids felt heavy and before I knew it, I was sleeping.

Remus's Pov:

I looked at myself in the mirror in the bathroom. 'How could I have done this?' I asked myself. Y/N looked as though a dementor had sucked her soul out of her, but what else could I have done? She was going to Hogwarts now, she should have known the truth. I walked through the house and made my way to the kitchen. I prepared Y/N's favourite; Hot chocolate, marshmallows and chocolate chip cookies.

I placed it all onto the tray and walked towards Y/N's room. "Alohomora," I said and the door unlocked. I put down the tray onto her dressing table and walked towards her. She looked so peaceful, just like when she was a baby. I took out her AirPods carefully and wiped her tear-stained cheeks.

Y/N's POV:

I woke up to the smell of hot chocolate and something sweet. My eyes blinked open slowly, I noticed Remus sitting on the edge of my bed, looking at me with a tender smile, but his eyes were full of tears. For a moment, it felt like nothing had changed, like everything was still normal. But the memories of his words hit me like a ton of bricks. My parents were murdered. I had a brother. And Remus had hidden it from me.
I sat up, my body still heavy with the weight of everything I had learned. I didn't know what to say or how to feel. Anger? Confusion? Betrayal? All of the emotions swirled inside me like a storm. My eyes flickered to the hot chocolate, but I couldn't bring myself to take a sip. My throat felt tight.

"Why...why didn't you tell me sooner?" I asked him, my voice hoarse with all the crying. "Why did you keep it from me all these years?"
A tear fell down his cheeks, "I wanted to protect you, Y/N. I didn't want you to carry the weight of your parents' death on your shoulders before you were ready."

"But I have a brother, Remus," My voice cracked. "And you didn't even tell me he existed. He's been out there all these years, alone, and I could've been with him."

He reached out to my hand, but I pulled it back. "You have to understand," he said quietly. "Harry wasn't safe either. No one was. The world believed he was the only child of Lily and James, and I had to keep it that way to keep you safe. If anyone had known about you, Y/N...they would've come for you too."
I stared down at my hands, trying to process everything. I wanted to throw the mug of hot chocolate across the room, I was furious, but I understood why he did it. The world outside was dangerous, especially for people like me-people tied to Voldemort's past.

"What happens now?" I asked softly, "When I go to Hogwarts... will Harry know who I am?"
Remus sighed and shook his head. "No. Not yet. You can choose when and if you want to tell him. But it's your decision, Y/N. This is your life now."
A part of me wanted to meet Harry right away, to tell him I was his sister. But another part of me was terrified. What if he didn't accept me? What if he resented me for being hidden away all this time?"
"Do you think he'll hate me?" I whispered.
Remus looked at me with such kindness, that it almost hurt. "No, Y/N. Harry has a big heart. He'll understand when the time is right."

I pulled my knees up to my chest, feeling overwhelmed but I was reassured by Remus's words. I had always wanted to know more about my family, but I never imagined it would be like this.
"Remus...I don't know if I'm ready," I admitted.
He smiled softly, "You're stronger than you know, Y/N. And you don't have to be ready all at once. Just take it one day at a time."
I nodded slowly, feeling the weight of his words settle over me. Tomorrow I would start preparing for Hogwarts, and the adventure I always dreamed of would begin. But now, it wasn't just about spells and magic. It was about finding out who I was- and whether I dared to face it.
