You were never good for me (Draco x reader)

The dreaded reason

I stood in front of my long mirror. What was it with me and mirrors these days? Tonight I had to go; I needed clues to what was going on. My dress was mid-length, it was a little black dress. There were a few sequins scattered at the top of the dress which shimmered in the light. I paired it with some plain black heels and dark but pretty makeup. My hair was up in a low bun with a shiny clip holding it up.

I grabbed my purse and headed down the stairs. I held on to the black banister as my mother gasped, "You look so beautiful darling. I knew you would of liked that dress." I smiled at her; she was getting more emotional now I was 'grown up'. "We all ready then?" My dad said, smiling, as he fixed his black tie.

We arrived at the Malfoy Mansion. I looked up: it was slightly bigger than our home however it looked dull, like it had no meaning,
just bought for luxury.

We entered the house through the large doors and it was already filled with people. Many were talking quietly as though they were planning something and everyone looked at us as we walked in. I hated everyone that attended the annual Malfoy Christmas party. Me and Draco would always go into the garden or a room with no one and ignore them.

I looked around. Where was he? Normally we would arrive and he would be waiting to see me. I turned to see Narcissa walking towards us in an elegant black dress. Although she had put lots of makeup and done up her hair you could tell she seemed stressed.

"Welcome Carol, Paul , (Y/N)." She said as she hugged my mother and father and smiled at me. "I didn't think think the party would be on this year." My father said nicely although I could see he was trying to be a bit rude. He had told me he wasn't very keen on the Malfoys (that's why I never told him about Draco and I).

"Well I know recent occurrences might have caused me to cancel the party but it's Christmas and I still wanted to have the party." She said nicely, "Besides, it's a good way to end the year and soon welcome the amazing year ahead." She said this as though she was being forced too, as though she didn't want to.

"Where's your son Draco?" My mum asked, thank god because I didn't want too. "He's decided to stay at Hogwarts for part of the Christmas... finish some work off. He will be back on Christmas Eve."

Draco hated staying at Hogwarts for Christmas.  This was definitely a cover up but it made it easier for me to find out what was going on.

As Narcissa walked away to greet more guest I turned to my mum quickly and said, "I'm going to go get a drink."

"Um, alright darling I'm sorry Draco isn't here I know you mainly talk to him,maybe you could find someone else-"

"It's fine mum I'm old enough I'll find someone I'm just really thirsty." I said, cutting her off. I needed to go now.

I quickly walked off and made sure she wasn't looking so I could leave the large hall. Around the house were large, black Christmas decorations and many boring pictures of the family. They looked very staged and even pictures of Draco when he was younger look like he was under Imperius curse being made what to do.

I passed a long dining hall with a large black table and chairs in it. Two very scary looking men stood at the other side talking quietly. As I passed them quickly I heard one say, "perfect place for the meeting".

The meeting? What meeting?
-
I walked up the stairs to the long corridor where all the bedrooms were situated. Problem was, which one was Draco's? I hadn't been here for a while and they all looked the same on the outside; miserable.

Suddenly, I remembered me and him had the same view from our window, a garden view. That was on the left side of his house so now I had to find his room on that side.
