What if
Draco Malfoy x Reader
Warning: none
It was cold by the black lake but too many things needed to be discussed between you and Draco. What if we were able to go back to a simplistic time when being a house didn't matter. Dracos question lingered in your head. You never said that being in other houses kept you from making friends but having feelings for anyone was different. What would people say if the Slytherin prince and the so called Hufflepuff angel formed a relationship. Being friends was already a secretive situation, being together would be even worse with the constant harassment from your fellow house mates. They were suppose to be your family and family came over relationships, right?
What if our parents weren't such great friends? In all honesty, if your parents didn't know or like each other as much as they do, would you and Draco even attempt to form a friendship? Your relationship had more or less been drilled by your parents since they wanted their two kids, opposite genders, same age, to get along. At this age it was now obvious they wanted to two together romantically but if they're parents didn't want this would they be trying to even see if this would work? You doubted your relationship with Draco since it was all because of who your parents were. You father came from a long line of slytherins, your mother a line of hufflepuffs. Both purebloods and extremely close with the malfoys as one of the longest pureblood families. But just what if that wasn't that case?
What if you two were only doing this to make others happy? You knew this wasn't the case but the long term could turn into you two only trying to please those around you. That idea concerned you little since knowing you and Dracos personalities, you'd end things if weren't married. If you made it that far then you'd still be friends and would work things out to make everything comfortable for each other. The only ones you'd possibly be together to please would be your children if you made it that far in life.
What if everyone hated us? That worried you but if anyone around you resented you so much that they cut all ties with you then they really didn't deserve to be in your life and getting together could help you both cut toxic people out of your lives. Draco may not be able to deal with so many people turning their backs on him. Majority of his friends hated you but you knew a few who respected you even with their sheer dislike of you. You knew you cut anyone out of your life if they couldn't stand you being friends or in a relationship with a certain person. Being with Draco was a life long decision whether you'd get together or stay friends. You could take constant hate and possible abuse if it meant you had your life long friends by yourside but both of you knew life was hard in school and having people hate you would only make it worse.
More and more questions piled up and the negatives and positives were all possibilities, not absolutes. You'd only know whether it would work out if you took a leap and drove in.
Draco, whatever happens happens. And I'm willing to try if you really want this. You couldn't think straight waiting for his response. You loved this boy almost more than you loved yourself which was terrifying but you'd live with that and nothing more as long as you had his friendship.
Screw the what ifs, I love you. His smile was enough, you laid you head on his shoulder and intertwined your fingers. Right now, what ifs didn't matter, just this moment
