~Drarry one shots~

~Coming out gone wrong~

Draco POV:
I brushed my outfit down one more time, knowing the nicer I look, the happier they'll all be. Tonight my parents were having dinner with Snape and I was going to come out to them. I knew that I had to get through dinner in one piece before even considering telling them. My family are...let's say conservative. I've never heard them be homophobic but no one in the family or anyone we know is gay. I'll be the first. I started to regret the idea of wearing a suit, it felt tight and restricting, something that wasn't help me be at ease.

"Draco go fetch the door before one of those little slaves do." My father said as he sat down in his armchair. I nodded and went to the door. 
"Professor." I said as I opened the door. He done the closest thing possible to him smiling, which looked like a small smirk. 
"Draco, please call me Severus when we're away from that place. I don't want to be reminded of it." He said as he walked in and gave his coat to the closest elf. 
"My fathers in the drawing room, I'm sure my mother shall be down in a moment." I said politely. My poker face was on hard, if I showed my fear, it would anger my father. 
"Ah Severus please sit. Drink?" My father said, obviously happy to see his friend. Snape nodded and excepted the glass of whisky. My father passed me one and I instantly shot it down, calming my nerves in the process. 
"Takes after his father I see." Snape joked in the best way a monotone voiced, boring person could. 
"Uh I'm gonna go find mother." I said awkwardly and allowed myself to leave.

I leant against the cooling marble walls and let myself breath. 
"Draco?" A voice said. It was my mother. 
"Ah mother, wow you look...um lovely!" I said, attempting to compliment her. Complimenting the opposite sex was a weakness of mine. 
"You're never gonna get a decent girlfriend like that. Anyway what's wrong?" She asked as she smoothed down the lapels on my suit jacket. I nervously laughed, 
"oh nothing, just a bit warm in there." She looked concerned but then nodded and went into the room. Oh god this was going to be torture! I collected myself and went back into the room. All the adults suddenly hushed and stared at me. I sat down next to my mother. 
"God Draco you look so nervous. Don't tell me you're doing bad in potions!" My mother said laughing but then looking at Snape to make sure. 
"Oh far from actually! Draco is ahead of everyone in the class, especially our little celebrity." He said with a raise of his eyebrow. I tried my hardest not to blush at the talk of Harry. I guess it was the closest Snape has ever been to complimenting my boyfriend and it was just a bit weird. 
"If only the tabloids knew that and stopped barking on about how fabulous he is. I feel sorry for Draco, he has to hear about him all the time at school and when he gets some peace and quiet to read and educate himself on the news, he has to hear about him all again." My father stated. Both snape and my mother nodded in agreement, so I quickly agreed. I actually loved reading about Harry, gave me more things to ask him about and hear him explain. Small talk occurred between my parents, I couldn't bring myself to pay attention. 
"Excuse me, I just need to go to the bathroom." I said quickly as I dashed out and towards my bedroom. Grabbing the closest bit of parchment and quill, I wrote Harry a letter.

To Harry,
Help! Tonight I am to come out to my parents and Severus. I don't know how to do this and I'm frankly not sure on how they're going to react. If only you were here to hold me right now. I hope you're having fun with the Weasley's and Granger and hopefully I'll see you back at school in two weeks (if I survive).
Love you more than Dumbledore loves his beard.

That helped. A lot of my fears flew away with that letter. I guess letting Harry know was like having an outlet and it was extremely helpful. I went back into the room and all the adults hushed again. 
"Sorry." I apologised and my mother smiled at me. Just like before I sat down and attempted to be included in the small talk that formed. The topics weren't of interest, just on Snapes classes, my progress and problems in the wizarding world. The only time I truly paid attention was when Harry's named was mentioned. Normally some stupid comment that was expected of them.

When dinner was called, a sense of relief flew over my body. Surely they cannot make small talk over food. It would be considered impolite to speak while you're eating! I smiled to myself as I sat down in the grand dining hall. I do not understand why we needed such a massive hall and table for the small family we were. A lot of the time it was only my parents or the three of us. We didn't have many friends and it's not like my family ever invited other family to dinner. 
"Draco stop gazing at the walls and eat your food." My mother snapped at me. I quickly nodded and ate the meal in front of me. 
"Narcissa, this is wonderful. What is this called?" Severus complimented. 
"Braised veal. Picked it myself from my cousins cook book." She said proudly. I didn't even know the Malfoy's had a cook in the family, let alone a book. I stared at the meat on the plate and felt bad. A dear was Harry's and his parents patronus'. A tap on the window alerted us from our meal. It was hedwig! 
"Who would be sending ghastly mail at this time!" My father shouted. I got up and opened the window to see the familiar owl. She rubbed herself against my hand, a sign of her affection for me. I smiled, 
"nuntius is in the owlery thank you." I whispered as I took the letter. 
"Who is it?" My father asked. 
"It's for me from flitwick. Probably just telling me that I have to practice some charms I already know." I sneered at the letter. Harry's ugly scrawl on the front made my heart warm. I placed it on the table and noticed snape glancing at the front. Shit! He'll know Harry's writing! I quickly turned the letter over and ate in silence, not making eye contact at him. After dinner I opened it.

To Draco,
Don't worry, if it doesn't work out, you can stay with me in the holidays. The Weasley's will see how incredible you are and quickly loose any grudges against you. Remus and Sirius will love you when they find out you're my boyfriend. I really hope it goes well and don't panic!
I love you more than Hermione loves books!

"Right now we're done, I say we should retire back in the drawing room and have dessert later." My father said as he got up. This was my chance, I had to tell them now. 
"Um actually when we get there, I have something to say." I said bravely. They all glanced at each other and Snape smirked. We entered the room and I didn't say anything. They all sat but I refused, I'd have a better chance of escaping if I was stood. 
"Right um. Well first does anyone want a drink?" I offered, knowing that I would definitely need one. They all nodded and I poured them a glass of whisky before throwing back mine. With the liquid courage coursing though my veins, i felt calmer than before. 
"Right get on with it, i have business to discuss with Severus." My father said, uninterested in whatever I was going to say. 
"Lucius hush." My mother scalded him with a small slap on his chest and a glare. I took a deep breath and took a few moments to fight back any tears. 
"I'm gay." I said confidently. They all stared at me, no emotion on their faces. 
"I'm glad I was sitting for that one." Snape said sarcastically. You know what, fuck it. If they disown me, they might as well know everything. 
"And I'm dating Potter. Harry Potter." My father still stared at me, my mother smiled and Snape flinched at the name. 
"Congrats on being more successful than me." He snapped. "But wow please excuse my astonishment!" He added, soaked with sarcasm. Why was he being so sarcastic? 
"Sev, please shut up. Draco honey well done on telling us, but we already know." My mother said comfortingly. 
"WAIT WHAT!" I shouted. The only thought that flooded my brain was that the dark lord might know. Harry and I would both be killed! "HOW! DOES HE KNOW?" I screamed. 
"He does not know. He won't ever know." My father said calmly from the corner. I stared at him for a moment, trying to figure out how he really felt about this. 
"It's like one of us actually works at your school!" Snape added. 
"Wait so you know from school?" I asked. 
"Well you're not exactly good at being subtle. Plus to me the desks are see- through to me so I can see if people are cheating. I took extra caution on yours as you are the best student and Potter is far from, so I thought he could be cheating from you not holding hands." Snape said. I laughed and my mother smiled at me. 
"Don't worry Draco, we accept you but if I hear that he is taking you away from your studies, Severus will be the least of your problems at that school!"

A/n: helloooo. This wasn't the original one shot I've been writing for the last few days but I decided to make that into a fic. Hope you enjoyed this!
