cassettes and cigarettes (draco x y/n)

chapter 8

as i got onto the train i waved to some of the people staying behind, this included Ron and Harry, and even Hermione. She was leaving tomorrow, as was Ron, i frowned at the thought Harry would be there alone, but i was glad to be going home, i missed my mother. 

as i got off the train i noticed the all too familiar glow coming off my mother i rushed over to her and pulled her into a hug, "hi my angel," she said wrapping her arms around me, "hello mum," i said letting the scent of her perfume flood my senses, "oh I've missed you," i said wrapping my arms slightly tighter around her, "i missed you too darling, oh look we've got some on-lookers," i pulled away from the hug to notice some people standing around, i introduced her to Bea and Cedric, "lovely to finally meet you both, y/n has told me so so much about you," she said pulling them into a hug. Bea was trying not to fangirl, she loved my mom and wanted to be just like her, but she never used me to get close to her, she wanted to know me. i smiled at them, "mom don't strangle my best friends," i heard a cough, "aren't you forgetting someone," i sighed, "ah yes, mum, how can i forget my 'stalker'," i said pointing her to Draco, "okay, excuse you, i am no stalker, if anything you're the stalker," i smiled, "oh yeah?" i said nudging Draco in the arm. 

"ah you must be Draco then," my mother looked over the poor guy, he was terrified, "hm, meh," she looked back to Cedric and Bea, "okay darlings, we must be off, I'm afraid we don't have much time left before her grandfather arrives, i hope to see you all again," she started walking towards her car, "don't be long dear," she called to me, "i wont!!" 

i sighed, "soo what did she mean by 'meh'??" Draco asked from beside me, "oh i have no idea, but she doesn't dislike you, so that's a good thing," i shrugged, "well alright then," he pulled me into a hug, "I've gotta get going, I'll see you after break?" i nodded, "see you then Malfoy," he grimaced, "eugh no, keep calling me Draco please," i giggled, "and what if i don't?" he shook his head, "i wont sit at the end of the table anymore," i gasped, "fine fine, can't lose the first person who talked to me, what if no one ever talks to me again!" he laughed and headed off. 

"you like him." Bea stated, "uhhh no?" i slightly blushed, "you do," Cedric added. i so forgot they were there, "okay, so hypothetically, if i did like him, how bad would that be...?" the shook their heads, "y/n, i love you, you're like my sister, so I'm going to tell you this, his family is bad news, my father works with his in the ministry and it's not pretty," Bea spoke, "but, Draco seems good to you, so if you like him who am i to stand in the way?" Cedric then spoke, "like i told you at the beginning of the year, i don't like the guy particularly, but he's good with you, i mean like, you'd think he was a different person, but i think that's him being himself, so, just be careful," i nodded, "okay okay, i will, i really do need to get going though, i love you guys, I'll see you after break, byeee!" i called out walking away from the 2, i climbed into the passenger seat of my mum's car, "you ready?" i nodded.

she started driving to our house, i was excited to be in my own bed again, "sooooo," she started, "soooo?" she chuckled, "Malfoy huh?" i sighed, "not you too mum, i don't like him like that!" she giggled, "darling, you forget who you're talking to," i gave in, "okay fine maybe i like him, but it's not like anything is gonna happen between us," she glanced at me, "what do you mean angel?" i burried my face in my hands, "he only sees me as a friend, and i don't wanna put that in jepordy, he was the first person who actually talked to me, and not because you are my mum, but because he wanted to talk to me," she nodded, "okay, i understand that, but," she looked at me, "if you like him, don't push those feelings away okay?" i nodded. 

as we pulled into the driveway i noticed all of the roses in bloom and smiled. i always thought Draco was like them in a way, "well, what do you wanna do first?" i smiled, "can we race?" she laughed, "well of course," she got out of the car, "accio firebolt," she casted and her broom flew over, "hey no fair! you have the fastest broom on the market!" she laughed, "well hold on a second, i think, ah yes, accio gift," another broom flew over, this one was wrapped in festive wrapping paper, "mum, what did you get me?" she laughed and handed it to me, "open it," i smiled and did just that.
