My Tutor | Draco Malfoy X Reader

the day before the arrival of students...

Draco's POV:

I had to come in Hogwarts early than the actual day of returning.

Father and Mother said it would be better for me to come early and to get everything settled down. So I had nothing to worry about when classes start.

I was in our dorm when Blaise had said Professor Dumbledore asked for me, and here I was, entering his office.

“Ah Mr. Malfoy, you have come at last.” Our headmaster greeted and immediately signed me to come in

“Yes professor? I came as soon as I could, Zabini said it was urgent” It was unusual, Dumbledore isn't the type to call in students in his office, unless you're in trouble or anywhat.

“It is, I was hoping I didn't interrupt you or what you were up to” he smiled, as he motioned me to sit down

“You weren't professor, I was just unpacking my trunks. I hope I haven't gotten in trouble, the classes haven't even started”

“You aren't, infact I'd like to ask, you study lots of languages don't you, Draco?” he stood up from his chair and paced

“I do, may I ask why I'm being reported here?”

“You see, we have a new student for this term. Coming from France, and she is monolingual”

“I'm sorry but I fail to understand, how does this concern me, professor?” I was getting irritated every minute that passes by, I don't exactly see the reason I'm here for. I had a small clue and I'm certainly not about to be some bloody tourist guider or translator.

“I want you to assist her, Mr. Malfoy” he finally sat down in front of me, with a smile and gleaming eyes

What? Me? Chauffeuring a student around? Who were they? And out of all, why me?

“What?! Why me professor? There's plenty of students to help, and study many languages. I'm sorry but I won't be touring some pathetic muggle or whatever” I said with disbelief as I stood up

“It isn't a question Draco, it's an order.” he looked at me with a serious demeanor

I was about to interrupt but before I could, he spoke once more

“No exceptions, have a great afternoon, Mr. Malfoy” his serious expression turned into his famous kind and warm aura, in the process, smiling at me and that was it. I grumbled on my way downstairs.

I can't believe it, I'm getting treated like a servant, chauffeuring some new student around

My father will definitely hear about this.

“How’d it go with Dumbledore, mate?”

“Brilliant!” I sneered as I harshly closed the door

“Blimey, how bad was it? Did you get in trouble?” he looked me over his shoulder while he fixed his side table

“He asked me to tutor a new 'foreign' student. It's rubbish”

“That's great, you'll have extra credits. But out of all people, why you?”

“That's what I said, it's not like I'm the only one who studies other languages. There's plenty of students that does, especially ravenclaws” I grumbled, picking up the last few things in my trunk

“Well, did he say where the student came from?”

“Yeah, France. And she only speaks one language.”

“Even english?”

“No, he exactly said she's monolingual idiot” I spat

“Alright, sorry, but how does she not know English? It's impossible she doesn't understand a thing or few”

“I don't know and I don't care. This wasn't my business at all, I was forced to be in this” I finished setting my things down, and plopped onto my bed

“Just don't think about it, it'll only be a matter of time that she'll learn and you'll be back on your old schedule mate. But for now, I'm starving, let's go get food”

I simply nodded in agreement, we spent the whole afternoon arranging our stuff, we didn't even notice the time.

-------------

After the feast, I have decided to go back in the dungeons and have complete good rest for tomorrow

I sat down for a bit, preparing some necessities for my night routine, by that, my toothbrush and ect.

But then I saw a letter lying on my bedside table, that certainly was not there before.

As I picked it up, I already knew where it was from, our family seal was on it.

I took a moment to breath and prepare for what the letter was going to contain.

These letters were usually unpleasant, all I could do was prepare for what it would say

Dear, Draco

Hello love, I'm writing to you to let you know that you will help the daughter of our family's close friend.

But by the time you read this, you have probably been informed by Professor Dumbledore already. I'm sorry I didn't inform you sooner darling, your father said I needed to inform Dumbledore first.

Anyways, how are you settling darling? Your father and I hope to hear from you soon, please take care. We will be sending you a small gift soon!

P.S : be patient with Y/n:)

Lots of love,
-Mum xx

I sighed, placing the letter down back in my table

If only this letter was sent first before Professor Dumbledore called in, I would have time to think and what to do.

But what can I do, no matter what my decision was, I couldn't really refuse one way or another. Or else father would have another say about this.

And I knew this year wasn't going to be like the last few. A prisoner has escaped Azkaban, new subjects to pick from and I needed to assist a foreign student

I just hope everything will go according to plan. After all, tomorrow will be the day everyone will come back to Hogwarts

I'll pray to Merlin that this ‘Y/n’ girl won't get in my nerves and earn me a ticket in Azkaban for attempted murder

Joking, but in all seriousness, I hope this year will turn out to be fine.
