Vulnerable Hearts ~Draco Malfoy X Reader~

Fame isn't Everything

It was only about a couple days before you would return to Hogwarts, but right now you were stuck at a party. Well more like a gathering, all the still loyal witches and wizards to Voldemort had come to met and discuss the possibility that Quirrell died but not Voldemort. Having enough of the constant weird questions you went outside, Jasmine was no doubt arguing with Harley to be quiet around the Death Eaters while Harley would be trying to join them. You had to admit you wished you had her courage around those witches and wizards.

"You okay, {Y/N}?" You turned around to see Draco standing behind you, smiling you crossed your arms. "Who wouldn't be? After all I'm being praised for being born." You rolled your eyes before sitting down on the ground, you furrowed your eyebrows after a moment of silence. "You don't want to be one of them... Right?" You knew Draco might have a choice but it was painfully obvious that you had no choice. "I don't want to. I don't know." You smiled at Draco as he sat down next to you. You both watched through the open door as the magically beings inside spoke with each other, they were clearly excited that their leader might be back.

Accidentally your thoughts went back to the one person you'd been pushing out of your head this whole time- You thought about your aunt. Unaware that you had started crying you where pleasantly surprised when Draco hugged you. "Your aunt?" That was the only thing Draco asked, on the train leaving Hogwarts you told Draco about what happened to your aunt and how it does hurt you thinking about her, you nodded as you wrapped your arms around Draco returning his comforting hug. You hoped that when you two stopped hugging he would notice the red tint on your cheeks, or feel your rapidly beating heart. Draco slowly let go of you as who you assumed was his father and mother headed over to where you two where. Draco stood up and you did slowly after him.

"You must be {Y/N} Riddle. I'm Lucius Malfoy, this is my wife Narcissa Malfoy." You smiled brightly all signs of being sad having disappeared. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr Malfoy. Mrs Malfoy." You knew how to be overly polite and respectful when you had to, your aunt made you be courteous every chance you got. Narcissa smiled as Draco went over to his parents, it seemed like Lucius wasn't the smiling type of guy. "We spoke to Mr and Mrs Louise, it seems we'll be going for supplies together." Lucius stated and you nodded watching them start to leave, Draco lingered behind a bit. "See you, {Y/N}." You smiled as the white-blonde haired male followed his parents. Sure you were upset he was leaving already but at least you spent some time with him.

You waited outside for the rest of the guests to leave before walking upstairs and into a large cinema type room where Jasmine and Harley where currently arguing over which candy was better. The thought of sneaking out of the room tempted you but they noticed you immediately. "{Y/N}! Tell Harley that Chocolate Skeletons are clearly the superior candy!" You blinked and looked at Harley who immediately shook her head, she pointed at Jasmine. "She is clearly delusional! Chocolate wands are clearly the best! She is just too stubborn to admit it!" Looking at the pile of candy you smiled as you snatched up the box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. "You are both crazy, Bertie Bott's every flavour beans outrank both of your chocolates!" You poked your tongue out at the girls who stared at you in betrayal. After a long night of watching movies, eating candy and messing around with each other you three finally went to sleep.

The next morning Harley, Jasmine and you headed to Draco's house to see if he was going supply shopping today as well. "Good morning, Mr Malfoy." You said as Lucius opened the door. "My parents wanted to know when you planned on leaving for Diagon Alley." Jasmine said with the upmost respect. You noticed Lucius glaring at Harley and you felt yourself getting a little defensive over your friend. "I see Draco still wastes his time with this mudblood, shame to see two other promising witches wasting their time." You smirked a little linking arms with Harley who was staring at the ground. "Lucius, wouldn't it be a shame if I got in contact with Voldemort about your hatred to another supporter of the Dark Lord? In fact I believe Harley has had closer contact then you." Lucius's gaze was redirected to you luckily Jasmine stepped up. "Mr Malfoy, my parents would prefer if we go with you to Diagon Alley, unfortunately they had to rush off to work." You looked towards your best friend who was still being courteous even after Lucius insulted Harley.
