Desired Tension || Draco Malfoy x Reader

Chapter 1 - The Arrival

*Knock knock knock*

The door opens and I'm met with a very angry Uncle Vernon "What are you doing here".

"Good to see you too, only been 2 years" I scoffed while rolling my eyes.

"Where's your brother" he yelled looking behind me and out the door.

"He's not here?" I questioned panicked; he was meant to meet me here that was the plan. Haven't seen the fucker in 2 years and he doesn't stick around to see me "Well can I stay. I leave for school tomorrow, so it'll only be one night".

He simply scowled and walked away leaving the door open. I took that as an invitation to come inside.

I went upstairs and placed my trunk on Harry's bed. The last time I was here I slept in a cupboard so when Harry sent me a letter after 1st year telling me the Dursley gave him Dudley's 2nd bedroom to say I was shocked is an understatement.

I didn't bother to unpack as I was leaving tomorrow morning for Kings Cross to go to Hogwarts. Ahh yes, Hogwarts. When Harry and I got our letters for whatever reason I also got a letter to attend Durmstrang, and I went there instead of going with Harry. I missed him dearly, so I wasn't that upset when the ministry demanded I go to Hogwarts this year.

Something about it being easier to 'keep an eye' on Harry and me when we're together. I like Harry, have had my fair share of near-death experiences since I found out I was a witch. 

I heard a knock on the door and turned around to see Aunt Petunia standing in the doorway "Oh hello" I said in a questioning tone.

"Hello y/n, how have you been" she inquired slowly, what the fuck is happening. I raised my eyebrow curious as to why she was no longer being completely cruel to me.

"Oh, um good thank you, and you?" Although every part of me wanted to retort some mean insult back in her face I felt as though she was being genuine, and although I have been known to be a bitch I'm not a horrible person.

"Yes, good also, would you like some dinner" OK now I'm actually scared.

"That would be lovely, thank you" I was starving and in no way shape or form was I about to pass up food.

"I'll bring it up here, your uncle still needs some time to cool down".

"Cool down from what?" I noticed he was mad when I arrived, but I assumed it was just from me arriving on his doorstep for a second time.

"Vernon's sister, Marge, was over earlier this evening and your brother kind of blew her up" I couldn't help myself; I started laughing out loud. Harry and I hated that bitch she was rude and vile, always criticizing us and our parents.

Once I realized what I was doing I quickly shut myself up. "sorry" I murmured still trying to hide my smile. She simply sighed "Is she ok?" I asked trying to make it seem like I gave two shits.

"Yes, she's all right now" She gave me a look saying she knew I didn't care. She walked out of my room and back downstairs returning a few minutes later with a plate of food. She placed the plate on the desk.

"Thank you" I smiled at her from the bed.

She smiled back and once again walked away. I ate the food and went to bed. I was still mad at Harry for leaving me behind, didn't he want to see me after all this time apart? I tried hard to push those thoughts aside and kept telling myself that he had to leave after what he did. My thoughts then trailed to the reality that if he used magic outside of school, was he going to be expelled?

I soon decided that if that was the case I would've been told so by the ministry and fell asleep. That night I had a nightmare; they were common for me. most of the time I can't remember what happened I just wake up crying or screaming in a cold sweat. This was one of those times, I was crying, shaking and couldn't remember what the hell caused me to feel this way. I eventually fell back into a dreamless sleep.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed the first chapter, ahh I'm so nervous. While publishing this I have already written 14 chapters and I think my writing is getting better but that's up to you to decide. (824 words)

Love you loads x
