Harry Potter One-Shots

Draco Malfoy x Reader

A/N - This is in his 6th year.  Enjoy!

Your boyfriend, Draco Malfoy, was keeping his distance form you lately, and you were sick of it.  Ever since everyone came back from summer for our sixth year at Hogwarts, he's kept his distance form you, and you were going to find out why.  It was now Christmas break, you were the only two in Slytherin staying at Hogwarts so you thought it was the perfect time to act.  It was now close to midnight, and you were waiting for Draco to come back to the Common Room from wherever he was in the castle.  You were tempted to steal Potter's map to see where he was, but it would cause too much trouble.  You were about to give up when you heard the common room door open.  When you saw a tall, slim figure come in, you got up from the sofa and approached him. 

Once Draco say you, he tried to avert you by walking to his left, but you took a step to your right to block his way.  Your arms were crossed and you had an angry look on your face.  He didn't look at your face, he kept his eyes looking at his right.  You tried to make eye contact, but he kept looking away.  He got annoyed and finally spoke to you.

"What (Y/Ln)?"  You stood your ground and said to him in the same tone.

"Draco Malfoy, you know very much well what!  Why have you been avoiding me?"  He didn't say a word.  You got impatient and gently shoved his left shoulder with your right hand so you could get his attention. 

"Hey!  Don't ignore me!  I've dealt with that for 4 months, I'm done with it.  Now, I asked you a question, why have you been avoiding me?"  He kept staring at the ground, not sure he wanted to answer.  You used your hand to lift his head up so you could look in his silver eyes.  He looked as if he hadn't slept in days, his face looked sunken in, making his cheekbones more defined.  His arms are a lot skinnier than usual, like he hasn't eaten for weeks.  His eyes show fear, but they're also holding a secret, you could tell because you're his girlfriend. 

"Look, it's hard to explain - "

"Then if you can't tell me, show me."  He sighed, which you knew you won. 

"(Y/N), you have to promise not to tell ANYONE," you nodded your head, saying you can keep his "secret."  He pulled you to the side of the room.  He moved his gaze to his left arm, and you followed his actions.

He pulled up the sleeve to his coat, then he pulled up the sleeve to his shirt, revealing something you couldn't have imagined.

There, on his forearm, was the dark mark, his mark.  You covered your open mouth with your hand and took an unexpected step, backing away from Draco.

"D-D-Draco...Why?  Why did you join him?"  you said "him" in a whisper, even though you were the only ones there, the rest came out as anger.

"Look, (Y/N), I didn't want to!  My parents forced me, I didn't have a choice!  Your parents would have done the same thing if they were Death Eaters!"  He practically yelled at you, which was a shock.  He never yelled, not at you at least.  And what he said about your parents...  Tears formed in your eyes.  He saw and his expression changed.

"Oh, (Y/N), I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you!  I didn't mean any of it, I just - I got forced to do something I have no desire to do."  He looked down at his feet and you took a step closer to him. 

"What do you have to do?"  He sighed.

"I can't tell you.""  You looked down and nodded.

"The reason I have been avoiding you is because I wanted to protect you.  I told him that we weren't together.  If I didn't succeed in what I do, then he wouldn't stop at just hurting my family, her would hurt you too.  I don't want you to get hurt.  But now, I need you more than ever.  Please," he grabbed your hands, pulled you close, and looked you in the eyes, "stay with me."  Your foreheads touch and you notice a tear trickle down his cheek.  You hated seeing him like this, so you decided to make him feel better. 

You got on your tip toes and connected your lips with his.  He kissed you back gratefully.  His hands pulled you closer to him and your arms wrapped around his neck, and the longing for his kiss, was finally fulfilled. 

When you pulled apart, he pulled you into a hug, and you hugged him back.  When broke apart, he gave you a questioning look and asked,

"Why are you treating me like this, when you know that I joined him?"  You slightly smile and kiss him on the cheek.

"Because I know you were forced and that you were only keeping away from me to protect me, and that is a very noble, brave, and sweetest thing anyone has done for me, and I am so appreciative!  And I will love you no matter what!"  He smiles and pecks you on the lips and pulls you to the sofa.  You sit on his right, and he pulled your legs over his, and you snuggle up to him.  His arm is around your shoulders and the other one is holding your legs up.  You both stare at the fire as it slowly dies down into a little flicker of light dancing on the logs.

Draco kisses the top of your head, and you snuggle closer.

"I love you, (Y/Nn)," Draco whispers to you. 

"I love you too, Draco, and Happy Christmas," and then you fell asleep before you heard him reply,

"Happy Christmas, love!"
